1. A switched mode power supply assembly comprising a plurality of at least two switched mode power supply modules coupled to each other in a ring-configuration;
- each power supply module comprising synchronization control means for generating a synchronization control signal for a next neighboring module and for receiving an incoming synchronization control signal from a previous neighboring module in order to ensure interleaved operation of all modules without any one power supply module determining a synchronization of the power supply assembly.

Abstract
A switched mode power supply assembly that has a plurality of power supply modules cyclically coupled to each other. Each power supply module has a synchronization control module for generating a synchronization control signal for a next neighboring module and for receiving a synchronization control signal from a previous neighboring module to ensure interleaved operation of all modules.
