Multiphase dc-dc converter and method of controlling such

A multi-phase DC-DC converter (1) is disclosed. The converter (1) comprises at least two phases (P1, P2, P3); at least one temperature sensor (2) configured to sense ambient temperature (Ta) of the converter (1); and a control module (3) electrically coupled to the plurality of phases (P1, P2, P3) and to the temperature sensor (2). The control module (3) is configured to determine a component temperature of at least one component of at least one of the phases (P1, P2, P3) in dependence upon the ambient temperature (Ta) and to determine an activation state of each phase (P1, P2, P3) in dependence upon the component temperature.
