Abstract: A control circuit for controlling a stackable multiphase power converter includes: a synchronization terminal; a synchronization signal connected to the synchronization terminals of a plurality of the control circuits in parallel, wherein the synchronization signal includes a plurality of pulses to be successively counted as a count number; and a reset signal, configured to reset and initiate the count number; wherein the control circuit further comprises a phase-sequence number, wherein the control circuit enables a corresponding power stage circuit to generate a phase of the output power when the count number reaches the phase-sequence number.

Abstract: A switching regulator having adjustable inductor current threshold employs a control method which includes: (S1) determining whether an output voltage is greater than a reference voltage or determining whether a switching frequency of the power stage is smaller than a predetermined lower frequency limit, and (S2) when it is determined yes in the step (S1), adjusting the inductor current threshold, such that the switching regulator operates under a pseudo discontinuous conduction mode (PDCM) wherein the switching frequency is not smaller than the predetermined lower frequency limit. Consequently, when the switching regulator operates under a light load mode, an optimum balance between a total power consumption and switching noise interference will be ensured.

Abstract: A conversion control circuit controls plural stackable sub-converters which are coupled in parallel to generate an output power to a load. The conversion control circuit includes a current sharing terminal and a current sharing circuit. A current sharing signal is connected, in parallel, to the current sharing terminals. The current sharing circuit includes: configuration (1): the current sharing signal is generated only according to an inductor current corresponding to one of plural inductors of the plural stackable sub-converters; or configuration (2): the current sharing signal is generated according to plural inductor currents corresponding to plural inductors of plural activated phases of the plural stackable sub-converters, wherein a ratio of a portion of the current sharing signal generated by a master control circuit to a portion generated by one of the slave control circuits is k which relates to a difference between a total phase number and an activated phase number.
