Abstract
Provided herein are a single-inductor dual-output (SIDO) power converter operable in a discontinuous conduction mode and a control method thereof. The SIDO power converter is operable to switch between a boost mode and a buck-boost mode. The SIDO power converter dynamically adjusts output timings of clock signals with respect to the loads according to a load difference therebetween to lower the power consumption with a light load when the inductor current is zero to achieve optimal power distribution.
