    Ideas for shunting current with minimal heat generation

    I would like some ideas/suggestions on how to shunt current in a PWM circuit. The load on the circuit is not sufficient to shunt the amount of current necessary. I need to shunt about 1.0 additional amps during the "on" cycle of the pulse. The duty cycle could be 40 - 60% and the frequency is...
