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.
