Hi,
am planning to use two SMPS switcher IC's. input voltage will be derived from the same point. that is a am going to use fuse,bridge rectifier, input bulk capacitor as common.will ther be any problem in the circuit?

2 controllers is a waste of time in reality.

The majority of the noise is going to be the actual switching of the transistors of mosfets.

Another problem is you will no longer have a isolated supply which is very dangerous :)

You will probably end up bringing more noise into your system with two, especially if they are running out of sync.

If you want low noise, then use a linear regulator with a carefully matched transformer/rectifier section. If you have a large range of input voltages you wish to accommodate, then use a switching pre-regulator and post-linearily regulate it.

i have six outputs. in that two have isolated ground. the problem is the size of the bobbin will be big. for this reason i have to use 2 smps switches
