Abstract
A new current-sharing technique for paralleled power converters, which is based on frequency encoding of the current-sharing information, is introduced. The approach has significant advantages over existing methods, including the ability to transformer isolate or eliminate current-sharing control connections. Operation of the current-sharing technique is analyzed, and the design and experimental evaluation of a three-cell prototype system are presented
