Abstract
Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to control parallel transistors. An example system includes a first transistor coupled in parallel to a second transistor, a pulse width modulation generator coupled to the first transistor. The pulse width modulation generator is to generate a first signal. The example system further includes a first switch timing controller coupled to the pulse width modulation generator. The first switch timing controller is to compare a first peak current of the first transistor with a second peak current and generate a second signal based on the comparison of the first peak current and the second peak current. The example system further includes a gate driver coupled to the first switch timing controller and the gate driver is to control the first transistor in response to the second signal.
