In some projects, we need to deliver more power than a single power supply can provide, and in this situation we can use steering Schottky diodes to provide load balancing (Figure 1). In this ...

Load sharing is a technique commonly used when powering loads requiring low voltage and high current; for this reason a modular power system is built where two (or more) power supplies or DC-DC ...

Designers parallel their power supplies to increase system power output or to provide fault tolerance. In this column, Contributing Editor Tom Curatolo discusses various techniques for load sharing ...

System integrators can improve system reliability with redundant, paralleled power supplies that share the load. Load sharing distributes load currents equally among paralleled voltage-stabilized ...
