Abstract

A two-stage power converter includes: a resonant switched-capacitor converter (RSCC) receiving an input voltage and generating a first stage voltage; a voltage regulator receiving the first stage voltage and generating an output voltage; and a communication interface and control circuit generating a charging operation signal, at least one discharging operation signal and a switching signal. The charging operation signal and the discharging operation signal are employed to control the RSCC to perform a charging process and at least one discharging process respectively, and the switching signal is employed to control the voltage regulator, so as to synchronize a resonant frequency of the RSCC and a switching frequency of the voltage regulator. The communication interface and control circuit adjusts a delay interval after the discharging process ends, and starts the charging process at an end time point of the delay interval.
