Abstract

A power conversion architecture includes one control capable of simultaneous operation with multiple power conversion circuits. The function of the controlling mechanism includes an output signal proportional to one or more inputs to the controlling mechanism for the purpose of maintaining a destination level at a substantially constant value. The function of each power conversion path is to transfer power from a source to a destination in an amount dictated by the controlling mechanism. The function of the parallel power conversion architecture is to proportionally distribute the power transfer between all power conversion paths.
