Abstract

The invention provides a control device for regulating and balancing currents, for DC/DC converters, between first and second voltage sources, the device comprising: n converters (C1, C2, . . . Cn) that are connected in parallel to the first voltage source (11); n inductors (L1, L2, . . . Ln) that have their outlets connected to the second voltage source (R) via n connections; n current sensors (22) that are arranged on respective ones of the connections; and a single regulator system that has its inputs connected to respective ones of the n current sensors (22), and its output connected to the n converters (C1, C2, . . . Cn).
