1. A method comprising:
generating a plurality of phase-shifted burst mode signals;
modulating power to a plurality of loads based on pulse width of said phase-shifted burst mode signals;
regulating power to said plurality of loads using respective said phase shifted burst mode signals;
generating a plurality of AC signals based at least in part on a respective phase-shifted burst mode signal; and
supplying said plurality of AC signals to said plurality of loads respectively.
