An architecture for a multi-port AC/DC Switching Mode Power Supply (SMPS) with Power Factor Correction (PFC) comprises power management control (PMC) for PFC On/Off Control and Smart Power Distribution, and optionally, a boost follower circuit. For example, in a universal AC/DC multi-port USB-C Power Delivery (PD) adapter, PMC enables turn-on and turn-off of PFC dependent on output port operational status and a combined load of active output ports. A microprocessor control unit (MCU) receives operational status, a voltage sense input and a current sense input for each USB port, computes output power for each USB port, and executes a power distribution protocol to turn-on or turn-off PFC dependent on the combined load from each USB port. Available power may be distributed intelligently to one or more ports, dependent on load. In an example embodiment, turning-off PFC for low load and low AC line input increases efficiency by 3% to 5%.
