Although secondary control of direct current (DC) microgrids has been widely studied, traditional static current sharing may still cause severe voltage sag under large-signal constant power load (CPL) steps, and many distributed schemes rely on global topology information while showing limited transient disturbance rejection. To address these issues, this paper proposes an observer-assisted, stability-margin-driven prescribed-time distributed secondary control strategy for islanded DC microgrids. A dynamic CPL risk evaluation function updates current-sharing ratios according to converter operating margins, while a distributed prescribed-time observer estimates disturbance envelopes and alleviates high-frequency chattering. Local adaptive gains remove the explicit dependence of controller tuning on global Laplacian eigenvalue information. MATLAB R2024a-based numerical studies show that, under a 6000 W CPL stress scenario, the proposed method limits the maximum voltage drop to 3.37 V, compared with 24.60 V for the conventional virtual current derivative (VCD) method. Under heterogeneous line impedances and a non-ideal digital benchmark, the proposed method yields a normalized current-sharing error of 0.72%, whereas the VCD method exhibits milder voltage transients. These results support the algorithmic effectiveness and numerical robustness of the proposed strategy within the adopted validation environment.
