1. A controller for providing out of phase drive signals to a power convener having at least a first power unit and second power unit, said controller comprising:
input circuitry adapted to receive a first signal from a first path and a second signal from a second path and provide an output signal in response to a difference between said first and second signals, said first signal representative only of a current level of said first power unit during a first time interval and said first signal representative only of a current level of said second power unit during a second time interval; and
output circuitry responsive to at least said output signal to provide said out of phase drive signals to said first and second power unit.
