A stable voltage converter is described. The converter has multiple pulse width modulated channels having an error amplifier and a plurality of converter channels. The error amplifier compares the reference voltage and the average output voltage to generate an error signal for stabilizing the output voltage of the converter. Each converter channel uses the error signal input and generates a direct current power output. Furthermore, each converter channel includes a subtraction circuit, a pulse width modulator, a power switch, a filter and a current sensor. The subtraction circuit coupled with the error amplifier inputs the error signal and a channel current signal proportional to the direct current power output; therefore, the subtraction circuit subtracts the channel current signal from the error signal and outputs a modified error signal. The pulse width modulator inputs the ramp signal and the modified error signal then outputs the pulse width modulator signal. The power switch couples with the pulse width modulator, inputs the pulse width modulator signal and then outputs a pulse power. The filter couples with the power switch and filters the pulse power to generate the direct current power output. The current sensor detects the direct current power output and generates the channel current signal to the subtraction circuit for balancing channel current outputs of the converter. A feedback loop is used to adjust the total output voltage to generate a stable voltage output of the converter with multiple pulse width modulated channels.
