Patent ID: 11625355

Abstract:
A multi-port USB Type-C® Power Delivery (USB-C/PD) power converter for switching clock phase shifts is described herein. The multi-port USB-C/PD power converter includes a first PD port, a second PD port, and a power controller coupled to the first and second PD ports. The power controller includes a first phased clock generator to generate a first phase-shifted clock signal by shifting a clock signal by a first phase with respect to a reference clock signal, and a second phased clock generator to generate a second phase-shifted clock signal to generate a second phased-shifted clock signal by shifting the clock signal by a second phase with respect to the reference clock signal. The first PD port and the second PD port output power in response to a first control signal based on the first phase-shifted clock signal and a second control signal based on the second phase-shifted clock signal, respectively.
