Power supply circuitry and enhanced associated techniques are presented herein. In one example, a method includes powering a circuit with a plurality of power supply phases, and monitoring thermal properties of the plurality of power supply phases. Responsive to the thermal properties indicating at least one of the plurality of power supply phases exceeds a thermal threshold, the method includes selecting a dormant power supply phase to supplant the at least one of the plurality of power supply phases.
