A multi-channel interleaved power converter includes first and second per-channel conversion circuits, each including a pulse width modulator (PWM), a driver PWM, an output inductor carrying load current, and a current controlled current source (CCCS) coupled to sense the inductor current. The inductors of the different channels are coupled in common to an output node of the power converter. Summing circuitry is operative (i) to subtract the output current of the second channel CCCS from the output current of the first channel CCCS, (ii) to convert the difference current into an offset, and (iii) to apply the offset to a first PWM control signal to generate a second PWM control signal for the second channel. The PWM control signals cause respective currents to be established in the inductors of the different channels according to a predetermined desired current relationship, such as equality.
