Multiple parallel semiconductor switching system including current sharing filter inductor

A method of sharing current generated by a parallel semiconductor switching system to drive a load, the method comprising:

• generating at least one filtered voltage;
• generating individual currents based on the at least one filtered voltage, and delivering each current to a respective winding;
• and
• combining the winding currents at a common node to generate a combined current, and outputting the combined current directly to a load so as to drive the load.

A filter inductor configured to share current generated by a plurality of switching circuits included in a parallel semiconductor switching system, the filter inductor comprising:

• a core element;
• a first winding wrapped around the core element, the first winding extending from a first proximate terminal end to an opposing first distal terminal end;
• and
• a second winding wrapped around the core element, the second winding extending from a second proximate terminal end to an opposing second distal terminal end,
• wherein the first and second windings are wrapped around the core element at an alternating sequential arrangement with respect to one another.
