Parallel converters have become a practical necessity wherever a single power stage cannot deliver the required current without excessive heat or size. In semiconductor power electronics the term describes multiple identical converter phases connected so their outputs combine while their switching instants are deliberately staggered. The result is lower ripple, smaller magnetics and the ability to scale current simply by adding phases.
