I am designing a voltage clamp circuit for a voltage regulator. The reference design I am looking at uses several FETs in parallel to handle the current and wattage. But I don't see any provision to balance the currents in the FETs. If you parallel several FETs, won't they have different currents due to the different characteristics from device to device? Or are parts so well matched that this is not an issue?
