Hello all!

Thanks in advance if any insight is provided to help me find the best solution.
The general scope of the project is to obtain a constant current generation of 767 amps from 9 buck converters connected in parallel.
My questions regards on how to connect the single PWM output pin that will control the switching operation of the 9 IGBTs. The 9 IGBTs need to be operated by the same output pin at the same time.
I had two ideas however I am not sure if they will work. One idea is to connect the 9 IGBTS in parallel to the same gate driver. The second idea is to connect a demultiplexer between the DPIC PWM output pin and one driver for each of the 9 IGBTs.
Secondly, which is the best software or mechanism or way to simulate either of the two ideas I briefly explained above.
The IGBT model that will be used is the MID 300 - 12A4.
The operating switching frequency will be 30 kHz.

Thanks anyone for your help!
