A uniform converter output voltage distribution power system evenly controls the individual output voltages of DC-to-DC parallel-input series-output connected converters using a uniform output voltage distribution controller including a generator for generating respective error signals from the converter output voltages using a common distribution reference signal for providing respective converter control signals connected to the converters through respective shared-bus controls for evenly distributing the power delivered by the converters that are shared-bus current-mode converters for preferably providing high output voltages. Employing a common regulation control signal, the controller can also provide system output voltage regulation, system input current limiting, proportional-voltage control, relaxed voltage uniformity, and fault-tolerant power control.
