Abstract
A power converter includes a controller for driving a power switch in one phase of a plurality of phases of the power converter. The controller may have a first terminal for receiving an input switch driving signal which is used to drive a power switch in another phase of the power converter, and a second terminal for providing an output switch driving signal to drive the power switch in the one phase. The controller draws power from the input switch driving signal received at the first terminal, and is configured to provide the output switch driving signal based on the input switch driving signal.
