A multiphase power converter having a daisy chain control circuit and a method for controlling the same are provided. A main control circuit outputs an initial pulse width modulation signal having a plurality of initial pulses. One of a plurality of slave control circuits is connected to an output terminal of the main control circuit, and outputs a pulse width modulation signal according to the received initial pulse width modulation signal. Each of the rest of the plurality of slave control circuits outputs the next pulse width modulation signal to the next slave control circuit or the main control circuit according to the pulse width modulation signal received from the previous slave control circuit. The main control circuit automatically counts a quantity of the control circuits according to the received pulse width modulation signal and outputted initial pulse width modulation signal.

A power converter for providing a negative voltage is provided. A coupling controller circuit receives a digital control signal and provides a control signal. A reverse voltage converter circuit receives the control signal and provides a reverse voltage. The reverse voltage converter circuit includes a first switch, a second switch, a third switch, a fourth switch, a fifth switch, a seventh switch, an eighth switch, a coupling control signal triggering circuit and a pulse width modulation circuit. A first reverse logic circuit is connected to a second reverse logic circuit. The second reverse logic circuit is connected to the pulse width modulation circuit and is configured to provide a trigger signal to the pulse width modulation circuit. The pulse width modulation circuit turns on or off the reverse voltage converter circuit according to the trigger signal.

Power converter for providing negative voltage

Disclosed is a current sensing circuit to sense a current flowing through a load switch. The load switch receives a supply voltage to generate an output voltage. The current sensing circuit includes a first circuit and a second circuit. The first circuit is coupled the load switch through a first resistor, and senses the current flowing through the load switch. The second circuit is coupled to the first circuit and the load switch, senses the output voltage, and generates an adjusting current according to the output voltage. The second circuit generates the adjusting current when the output voltage is smaller than a threshold voltage, such that the ratio of the current flowing through the load switch to a current flowing through the first circuit is maintained at certain ratio, but the second circuit is disabled when the output voltage is larger than or equal to the threshold voltage.
