Claim 10:
11. The power converter of claim 10, wherein the first STC module includes:
an STC circuit including one or more resonant capacitors, one or more resonant inductors, and a plurality of switches;
an output current (OC) measuring circuit configured to measure the value of the first output current, the OC measuring circuit being coupled to an output node of the STC circuit;
a dead time (DT) adjustor configured to compare the value of the first output current with the value of the minimum output current from the digital interface, the DT adjustor configured to increase the dead time in response to the value of the first output current being greater than the value of the minimum output current; and
a control logic configured to generate control signals for the plurality of switches such that the dead time is added at an end of an STC phase or an STC cycle, the dead time being a period of time which the plurality of switches are deactivated.
