  • Abstract
    The stacked power system combines series and parallel connections of multimodule power supplies to produce several low voltage outputs at high current levels. The system could generate ultra low voltage outputs with higher efficiencies than conventional centralized or distributed approaches, using standard single-output converters. This paper presents the architecture of the stacked power system and establishes a design procedure for the system
