Abstract
Circuits and methods for sensing output current of a power converter, controlling output current in multiple parallel power converters, and enabling reconfigurability of output control for multiple parallel power converters. One embodiment includes a current sensing circuit configured to be coupled to a power converter, the current sensing circuit configured to receive a first voltage representative of an output current of the power converter and output a low-frequency filtered second voltage based on the first voltage and a high-frequency filtered third voltage based on the first voltage. In some embodiments, the first voltage is generated by sensing an output current of the power converter and converting the sensed output current to the first voltage. Other embodiments include a plurality of power stages and corresponding current sensing circuits, wherein the outputs of the low-frequency filters of the current sensing circuits are coupled in common.
