Average current in buck converter

Hi everyone,

I want to use PSIM to read the average current, my circuit is two interleaved buck converter,

because I want to do the current sharing so I need to detect the inductor current in each phase.

can I use C block to implement this way?

I have no idea how should I do, can someone give a help?

    "I need to detect the inductor current in each phase."

    To detect the inductor current, in PSIM, it is the same as you do in a real circuit. You may use a current sensor in series with the inductor.

     

    To calculate the average value of any circuit variable, you need to consider several issues in your system design, such as the switching frequency, the feedback path response time, the ripple size, and etc.

    After you gather all the requirement information, you may start to design your algorithm.
