Designers parallel their power supplies to increase system power output or to provide fault tolerance. In this column, Contributing Editor Tom Curatolo discusses various techniques for load sharing ...

Passive current sharing is a method of paralleling the outputs of two or more power supplies or dc-dc converters so that they share the load near equally. This approach has strong appeal, because it ...

An ideal voltage source maintains a constant voltage and can deliver an unlimited amount of current. This implementation cannot be physically constructed since it requires the voltage source to be ...

Load sharing is a technique commonly used when powering loads requiring low voltage and high current; for this reason a modular power system is built where two (or more) power supplies or DC-DC ...
