Abstract: A method, system, and device for using an interface controller to validate and authenticate controller code for a commodity device to be included within a computer system (e.g., a power supply) are provided. In one example, a commodity device controller includes dynamic memory for control software (e.g., control code to control operation of the commodity device) that may be validated (and/or updated) using an interface controller. The interface controller may perform this update/validation at startup (or run-time) to ensure secure control over aspects of the computer device including the commodity device control code. If a security risk is detected it may be mitigated in various ways, including disabling of the commodity device. Control code provided by third-parties (e.g., supplier of commodity device) may be validated and secured using disclosed techniques.

Abstract: A method for synchronizing startup of a plurality of power supplies in an electrical system includes supplying input power to a first power supply to supply power to an auxiliary converter and an auxiliary controller. The method also includes monitoring, via the auxiliary controller, a signal shared by each of the plurality of power supplies. The method further includes incrementally increasing, via the auxiliary controller, a value of the shared signal to a next incremental value of a plurality of specified values. The method also includes enabling, via the auxiliary controller, each of the power supplies to supply power to a load when the value of the shared signal is set to a maximum value of the specified values.

Abstract: A power supply may include a power input to connect to a power source to receive an input power for the power supply, a bulk capacitor operatively connected to the power input, and a threshold manager having a processor operatively connected to the power input and the bulk capacitor. The threshold manager to monitor the input power, calculate a threshold to perform a shutdown operation based on a shutdown requirement provided by a computing device, and in response to a power loss of the input power, monitor a bulk voltage of the bulk capacitor and send an alert to the computing device to perform the shutdown operation when the bulk voltage meets the threshold.

Abstract: An example system includes a server including a power supply and a microcontroller. The power supply may store parameters for a plurality of different ranges of overcurrent and a plurality of corresponding different time periods. The power supply may also receive information from the electrical component corresponding to the speed at which the electrical component can reduce the amount of power the electrical component is consuming. The controller may receive information from the power supply to determine the amount of current that will cause an overcurrent event in the electrical component. The controller may signal the electrical component to reduce the amount of power the electrical component is drawing from the power supply in response to the detected amount of current corresponding to the overcurrent event.

Abstract: An electronic fuse (e-fuse) for controlling input current of a load includes a transistor switch and a transorb device that is coupled in parallel to the transistor switch between a source and a drain of the transistor switch. A circuit comprising the transistor switch and the transorb device in parallel comprises a first end and a second end. The first end of the circuit is coupled to a power bus. The second end of the circuit is coupled to a first node of the load. The e-fuse includes an RC circuit comprising a resistor coupled in series with a first capacitor. The RC circuit is coupled between the power bus at the first end of the circuit and a return. The return is coupled to a second node of the load. The e-fuse includes a second capacitor that is coupled between the return and the second end of the circuit.

Abstract: One example of a system includes a server, a plurality of power supplies, and a system controller. The plurality of power supplies are electrically coupled to the server and each power supply includes machine readable instructions. The system controller updates the machine readable instructions of each of the plurality of power supplies one at a time while maintaining power to the system controller from at least one of the plurality of power supplies.

Abstract: An example device in accordance with an aspect of the present disclosure includes a first converter to selectively convert a first input signal to a first output signal, and a second converter to selectively convert a second input signal to a second output signal. A controller is to control switches of the first and second converters based on the input signals and output signals, and based on operating the first and second converters exclusively with respect to each other such that a total of first and second duty cycles does not exceed one.
