Abstract: According to an aspect, a non-regulated power converter includes a plurality of switching tank converter (STC) modules configured to be connected in parallel and to a load. The plurality of STC modules includes a first STC module configured to generate a first output current and a second STC module configured to generate a second output current. The first STC module includes an output current (OC) measuring circuit configured to measure a value of the first output current, and a dead time (DT) adjustor configured to compare the value of the first output current with a value of a minimum output current provided by the plurality of STC modules. The DT adjustor is configured to adjust a dead time in response to the value of the first output current being greater than the value of the minimum output current.

Abstract: Systems, devices and methods using three separate switching phases for a buck-boost regulator are disclosed. The regulator may operate in a boost mode, a buck mode or in a buck-boost mode. The output voltage remains constant through mode changes and the ripple voltage is well-controlled. If the input voltage is lower than the output voltage by a first threshold, the regulator operates in boost (step-up) mode. If the input voltage is higher than the output voltage by a second threshold, it operates in buck (step-down) mode. The regulator operates in the buck-boost mode when the difference between the input and output voltages is within a certain range.
