A multi-phase LLC power converter comprises a plurality of LLC phases each including a resonant tank and a switching stage. The resonant tank includes a resonant inductor, a resonant capacitor, and a parallel inductance. The switching stage switches an input power at an operating frequency to apply a switched power to the resonant tank, with the switched power approximating an alternating current (AC) waveform having a switching frequency. A secondary-side controller varies the switching frequency to control an output voltage of the multi-phase LLC power converter. A primary-side controller measures primary-side currents, calculates an initial switch-controlled capacitor (SCC) conduction phase angle for each of the LLC phases, and operates an SCC switch in accordance with an SCC conduction phase angle to adjust the capacitance of the resonant capacitor of an LLC phase to cause each of the LLC phases to have equal resonant frequencies.
