    Abstract: A method for increasing power supply voltage in an information handling system in a normal mode with a first peak voltage comprises, in response to receiving a request for a higher peak voltage, an embedded controller (EC) receiving information associated with the application including a request for power at a higher peak voltage, a housekeeping IC communicating a signal to a PWM IC to increase voltage supplied to the information handling system to the higher peak voltage, the PWM IC converting from the PSU to the higher peak voltage and starting a timer with a defined time period. If no additional requests for operating at the higher peak voltage are received before the time period expires, the PWM IC communicates a signal that power will stop being supplied at the higher peak voltage, and the information handling system returns to operating in the normal mode at the first peak voltage.

    Abstract: A high-performance single barrel power connector for receiving electric power may be capable of receiving more than 330 W up to approximately 600 W of power. The V+ pin and V− pin may each be configured with a large plurality of contact points for connecting to a power plug. A connector body retaining the V+ pin and V− pin may configured with openings to expose more of the V+ pin and V− pin to air and allow the V+ pin and V− pin to extend out of the power connector for convective and conductive heat transfer. A shell having a high thermal conductivity may be connected to the V− pin and V− pin and further connected to a bracket for increased heat transfer away from the V+ and V− pins.

    Abstract: A power adaptor for an information handling system may provide a higher power output level by monitoring a temperature inside a transformer of the power adaptor. When the transformer temperature is below a threshold below a rated temperature, the power adaptor may be allowed to operate at high power output levels. For example, a power adaptor rated for 45 Watts at 100 degrees Celsius may be allowed to operate at 65 Watts at 70 degrees Celsius. A feedback circuit may use transformer temperature information to determine when a power output level of the power adaptor may be adjusted to a higher level and then reconfigure the power adaptor to operate at the higher power output level.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling a power adaptor Light-Emitting Diode (LED) indicator are described. In some embodiments, a method may include: detecting a coupling of a power adaptor to a voltage source; setting a plurality of transistors in a first configuration, where the first configuration provides power an LED coupled to the power adaptor via a cable; detecting a de-coupling of the power adaptor from the voltage source; and setting the plurality of transistors in a second configuration, where the second configuration ceases to provide power to the LED.

    Abstract: An example switchable power adapter may include power circuitry and an interface coupled to the power circuitry. An application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) may be coupled to the power circuitry and the interface. The ASIC may be configured to receive a signal transmitted by an information handling system through the interface; determine whether a delay period within the signal satisfies a delay period condition; and cause the power circuitry to alter an output voltage level provided to the information handling system through the interface. The interface may comprise at least a Universal Serial Bus (USB) receptacle.
