The possibility of parallel operation of DC-DC converters with synchronous rectifiers (SRs) is investigated. It is found that under certain circumstances self-exited oscillation may occur in parallel-connected DC-DC converters with self-driven SRs. The cause of this phenomenon is studied, An experimental circuit is built to verify that this problem can be solved by using control-driven SRs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
