Zusammenfassung:A multi slope output impedance controller is configured to vary the effective impedance Zeff_n of a power converter to reduce a current imbalance between power supplies in a masterless configuration of N parallel-connected power supplies while maintaining load regulation during start-up and steady-state operation. Generally speaking, the controller commands a high value of Zeff_n when Iout_n is low to facilitate current sharing and reduce current imbalance Ib between the power supplies and commands a low value of Zeff_n when Iout_n is high to improve load regulation.
