Abstract:
Power supply modules have outputs coupled in parallel and convey load share balancing information over a single wire load share bus. Pulse width modulation (PWM) signals represent output loading of each of the power supply modules over the single wire load share bus. The PWM load share signal width (time asserted) of the PWM signal represents the output loading of the respective power supply module. Each of the power supply modules detect the assertion of the PWM signal on the load share bus and then each of them simultaneously drive the load share bus with a PWM signal representing their respective output loading. The power supply module having the greatest percent loading will assert its PWM load share signal longest, and the other power supply modules will thereafter adjust their outputs to more evenly supply power outputs to the load.
