Communication of fault event information between power supply devices
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to communicating fault event information between power supply devices. In an example, a fault event communication system can include a comparator that can be coupled to a node that can have a shared bus voltage established by current sharing circuitry. The comparator can compare the shared bus voltage to a reference voltage and output a fault alert signal based on the comparison to alert a respective power supply device that another power supply device is experiencing a fault event. The system can include logic circuitry that can initiate a timer for a time interval in response to receiving the fault alert signal. The logic circuitry can determine a type of fault event at the respective power supply device based on the fault alert signal and duration of time that has elapsed since initiating the timer.
