Load Sharing Module for DC/DC Converters

Load Sharing Module for DC/DC Converters

Calex Electronics Limited announces the Load Share Series of modules which provide a unique plug and play solution for paralleling multiple DC/DC converters. For those who have attempted to parallel DC/DC converters, it is not a simple task. Simply running the output traces in parallel on your PCB generally will result in one DC/DC converter attempting to supply the majority of the output current thus resulting in an overload condition. Due to component tolerances and production variances, the start-up profiles for the same model DC/DC converter may vary. If one converter starts into a full load condition in a parallel circuit prior to the other DC/DC converter module(s) this may result in an over-current condition resulting in system failure.
