Abstract: A system and method for proportioned power distribution in arrays of power converters are disclosed. According to one embodiment, a method includes distributing a node-specific transfer function to each node of a plurality of nodes via a communication bus. Each node includes a power converter, and nodes of the plurality of nodes are electrically connected in series. Each node-specific transfer function enables each node to contribute a positive impedance to a total impedance of the plurality of nodes. The computer-implemented method further includes coordinating a setting of a parameter of each node-specific transfer function to regulate a common bus current across the plurality of nodes, and assigning to each node an electrical characteristic based on a parameter of each node-specific transfer function.

Abstract: A power distribution system for integrated circuits includes methods to damp resonance between a bypass capacitor network and a power/ground cavity of the printed circuit board that (a) does not require excessive quantities of bypass/damping components or (b) does not require high plane cavity capacitance or in the alternative can insure a Q of less than 1.4 at the transition from the bypass network to the plane cavity impedance cross-over.
