5.1 Additional arm control

The simplest way to control the switches is to send the signals described in figure 25 to each of the arms, complementing the duty cycles, as shown in figure 31. The left arm thus sees the command (1 - α)U, while the right one sees αU. The load then sees a reversible source of...
