Time-sharing technique is used for power conversion to improve the thermal dissipation thereof. In a power supply arrangement to provide a supply voltage to a load, a plurality of linear regulators are so switched that each time only one of them is enabled to convert an input voltage to the supply voltage, thereby each of them suffering less thermal dissipation.
