L6615 is a controller IC specifically designed to achieve load sharing of paralleled and independent power supply modules in distributed power systems, by adding only few external components. Current sharing is achieved through a single wire connection (share bus) common to all of the paralleled modules.
The L6615 is a High/Low Side Load Share Controller IC specifically designed to achieve load sharing of paralleled and independent power supply modules in distributed power systems. It supports both high side and low side current sensing and is fully compatible with remote output voltage sensing. The device allows for the creation of (N+1) redundant systems, where N can be up to 20, making it suitable for SMPS used in web servers and high-density DC-DC converters.
