I am trying to design a dc dc converter(Vin:50dc, Vout:12,8A) using LM5119 interleaved operation, and whenever i short Comp1 with Comp2 as per directions in the datasheet i get this,
"ERROR(ORPSIM-15143): Voltage source and/or inductor loop involving X_U1.E2. You may break the loop by adding a series resistance"
and if i design their separate compensator networks or if i add a series Resistance between Comp1 and Comp2, i get convergence problems.
Both channels work fine independently, (I simulated the design that was provided along the model).
this is the pspice netlist

ERROR(ORPSIM-15143): Voltage source and/or inductor loop involving X_U1.E2. You may break the loop by adding a series resistance
I want to know that
a) Adding a small resistance between Comp1 and Comp2 will affect the output?
b) Can i use both channels independently and short their outputs?
c) Can the series resistance between comp1 and comp2 can cause convergence problems?
d) Does anyone else has the same problem?
e) Is it A design flaw, or a model flaw?
A Quick reply would be awesome, i am already behind my schedule, Thanks.
