Abstract :
This paper introduces automatic methods that support intentional nonuniform power or current sharing in multi-module DC-DC converter configurations. Sharing that is proportional to ratings or to external weighting values is supported. The methods extend to input-series output-parallel and input-parallel output-series connections as well as to conventional parallel-parallel configurations.
