CurrentShare - circuit for homogeneous power distribution and reduction of losses
- Summary
- CurrentShare is a technology for switching homogeneous power distribution and reducing losses. CurrentShare can deliver its benefits in all power electronics circuits that use paralleled solid-state switches.
- Technology Benefits
- Simple construction
Reduction of asymmetries in the output current
Lower switching losses
Higher switching speed
Protection of the components
- Technology Application
- CurrentShare can be used in a wide range of applications. CurrentShare can deliver its benefits in virtually all power electronics circuits that use parallel-connected semiconductor switches. Examples of applications for CurrentShare include power modules for solar inverters, motor control systems or traction drives for commercial and motor vehicles.
- Detailed Technology Description
- In CurrentShare The output currents are recoupled to the inputs, wherein in each input both a current portion which depends only on the respective output current, and a current portion which depends on the total current through all the semiconductor switches, are feeded back.
With this special structure that can be easily integrated into a printed circuit board, CurrentShare reduces the asymmetry of the currents through each semiconductor switch, as well as the switching losses. At the same time, an increase in the switching speed is achieved.
