| 1. A parallel filter arrangement, for use with a circuit having at least one source, producing a source current, and at least
one load connected to the parallel filter arrangement, the parallel filter arrangement comprising:
a first filter capable of producing a first current;
a second filter capable of producing a second current;
a first current sensor producing a first signal indicating the first current;
a second current sensor producing a second signal indicating the second current;
a third current sensor producing a third signal representing the source current and located upstream from the first and second
filters;
means for producing a fourth signal representing a sum of the first current and the source current and located upstream from
the second filter and downstream from the first filter;
wherein the first filter produces the first current and supplies the first current to the circuit based at least in part upon
the first signal and the third signal, and the second filter produces the second current and supplies the second current to
the circuit based at least in part upon the second signal and the fourth signal.
