Multiphase power supply and phase control

A method of controlling multiple phases to produce an output voltage to power a load, the method comprising:

• controlling a first phase of the multiple phases, the first phase including a first inductor device through which first current is delivered to the load;
• controlling a second phase of the multiple phases, the second phase including a second inductor device through which second current is delivered to the load;
• monitoring a magnitude of the second current conveyed through the second inductor device to the load;
• and
• producing an adjustment to a timing of activating a control switch in the second phase to an ON state based on the monitored magnitude of the second current, the adjustment to the timing of activating the control switch in the second phase resulting in zero current switching in the second phase.

Computer-readable storage media having instructions stored thereon for processing data information, such that the instructions, when carried out by computer processor hardware, cause the computer processor hardware to:

• control a first phase of multiple phases in a power converter circuit, the first phase including a first inductor device through which first current is delivered to a load;
• control a second phase of the multiple phases, the second phase including a second inductor device through which second current is delivered to the load;
• monitor a magnitude of the second current conveyed through the second inductor device to the load;
• and
• produce an adjustment to timing of activating a control switch in the second phase to an ON state based on the monitored magnitude of the second current, the adjustment to the timing of activating the control switch circuitry in the second phase resulting in zero current switching in the second phase.
