Abstract :
This paper proposes a new current sharing method. It utilizes the inner current loops of current mode controlled converters to achieve the current sharing, and decouples control loops from the voltage regulation and current-sharing regulation instead of adding control loops as in traditional master-slave methods. Therefore, the performance is guaranteed in both the large and small signal sense. This is verified by experimental results.
