Original Abstract Submitted
A multi-level power converter circuit for computer systems maintains phase alignment with other power converter circuits by employing low-gain phase-locked loop circuits. In order to account for different voltage levels on its terminal nodes, the power converter circuit may perform a comparison of the respective voltage levels of its terminal nodes. Using results of the comparison, the power converter circuit can select different regulation modes using different ones of the low-gain phase-locked loop circuits.
