Full bridge HVDC to modfied square sine - random half side MOSFET burn
I am trying to make a step-down 350V to 220V voltage converter. I decided to go with rather simple circuit of full bridge MOSFET inverter since my loads are only resistive or switched.
I had built it ...

How do I use one feedback pin with two error amplifiers?
I know there is a similar question asked: TL494CN and error amplifier.
However, that link does not answer my question. If I need one current loop and one voltage loop on the power supply, how should ...
