Abstract
A multi-input single output power system for outputting an output voltage on an output node. It includes a first integrated circuit (IC) converter device and a second IC converter device. The first IC converter device has a first pin to receive a first input voltage, a second pin to output the output voltage, and a first power unit coupled between the first pin and the second pin. The second IC converter device has a first pin to receive a second input voltage, a second pin to output the output voltage, a second power unit coupled between the first pin of the second IC converter device and the second pin of the second IC converter device, and a third pin. The third pin receives an external phase shedding control signal to determine whether to stop the second power unit from providing power to the output node.
