Claim: 1-10. (canceled)
Claim: 11. A multiphase DC to DC voltage converter, comprising: a plurality of converter cells which are situated parallel to one another and clocked with a time offset; and a magnetic measuring bridge between outputs of each two of the converter cells.
Claim: 12. The multiphase DC to DC voltage converter as recited in claim 11, wherein one of the measuring bridges has a core on which two windings having an identical number of turns wound in opposite directions are installed.
Claim: 13. The multiphase DC to DC voltage converter as recited in claim 12, wherein the core has an air gap in which a Hall sensor is positioned.
Claim: 14. The multiphase DC to DC voltage converter as recited in claim 11, wherein the measuring bridges are implemented in the form of one multiphase measuring bridge.
Claim: 15. The multiphase DC to DC voltage converter as recited in claim 11, wherein one PWM signal generator is assigned to each of the converter cells.
Claim: 16. The multiphase DC to DC voltage converter as recited in claim 13, wherein the Hall sensor is connected to a control system via an A/D converter, the control system providing control signals which influence clock signals of the converter cells on an output side.
Claim: 17. The multiphase DC to DC voltage converter as recited in claim 16, wherein the control system has multiple controllers which are situated parallel to one another, each being assigned to one of the converter cells and outputs of the controllers being each connected to a corresponding PWM generator via an adder.
Claim: 18. The multiphase DC to DC voltage converter as recited in claim 17, wherein the adders are each connected to a same output of an additional controller.
Claim: 19. The multiphase DC to DC voltage converter as recited in claim 18, wherein the additional controller is one of a current controller or a voltage controller, and a first input of the additional controller is connected to a setpoint value sensor.
Claim: 20. The multiphase DC to DC voltage converter as recited in claim 19, wherein a second input of the additional controller is connected to one of a current sensor or a voltage sensor, via an additional A/D converter and the one of the current sensor or voltage sensor is situated between the output of the converter cells and an output terminal of the multiphase DC to DC voltage converter.
