Abstract

A circuit is for balancing currents flowing through a parallel assembly of semiconductor components of the same type. The circuit may include a respective regulation circuit for each semiconductor component. Each regulation circuit may include a comparator of a first signal representative of the current flowing through the component with a reference signal, and a resistive element of a changeable resistance and controlled by the comparator.
