    Abstract: A control method improves the efficiency profile of a power supply across a wide range of output loading. The method includes obtaining a measure of output power for a power supply, which includes one or more output modules and an auxiliary power supply. The method determines whether a maximum power rating of the auxiliary power supply is sufficient to provide the measure of output power. Responsive to a determination that the maximum power rating of the auxiliary power supply is sufficient to provide the measure of output power, the controller of the power supply directs the auxiliary power supply to provide the output power.

    Abstract: A combined liquid and air cooling system is provided over a printed circuit board (PCB) of an electronic device, where the PCB includes an integrated circuit package including an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) die and a plurality of high bandwidth memory (HBM) modules located proximate the ASIC die, and the combined liquid and air cooling system includes a liquid cooling system located over the integrated circuit package and an air cooling system integrated with the liquid cooling system and a portion of the PCB. The system operates in a normal mode, where both liquid and air cooling systems provide cooling to components of the PCB, and a fail-safe mode, where the liquid cooling system is not operating (e.g., due to a detected condition) but the air cooling system operation is adjusted such that it provides sufficient cooling to PCB components which facilitates continuous operation of the electronic device.

    Abstract: A system includes a tray, where the tray includes a rail and a bracket that secures the rail to a networking device such that the rail is distanced from a surface of the networking device. A support post is removably coupled to the rail. The support post includes a first support member and a second support member vertically displaced from the first support member, where each of the first and second support members includes a support structure that supports a cable connected with a port at the surface of the networking device and routes the cable away from the networking device to another location distanced from the networking device. The cable supported by the first support member is separated and segregated from the cable supported by the second support member. With minimal touch, a support post can be moved from one location to another along the rail.

    Abstract: An apparatus comprises an Ethernet port including high-side transformers and low-side transformers. High-side current paths supply high-side currents form a high voltage rail to high-side center taps of the high-side transformers. Low-side current paths supply or do not supply low-side currents from a low voltage rail to low-side center taps of the low-side transformers, and convert the low-side currents to sense voltages. A controller configures the low-side current paths to either supply or not supply the low-side currents to the low-side center taps when none of the sense voltages exceed a voltage threshold representative of an overcurrent threshold or when at least one of the sense voltages exceeds the voltage threshold, respectively. A current monitor injects additional current into the low-side current paths only when at least one of the high-side currents exceeds the overcurrent threshold.

    Abstract: Regulation of a voltage gradient may be provided. A plurality of test voltage values associated with a corresponding plurality of locations associated with an electronic device may be received. Then, based on the plurality of test voltage values, a target setpoint may be determined for a power supply that supplies power to the electronic device. The target setpoint may be configured to cause a maximum of voltage values at the plurality of locations to be below a maximum voltage level defined by a specification for the electronic device. The target setpoint may also be configured to cause a minimum of the voltage values at the plurality of locations to be above a minimum voltage level defined by the specification for the electronic device. The power supply may then be driven at the target setpoint.
