    摘要: Disclosed herein is a power supply device and a control method for the power supply device. The power supply device includes: a battery; an external interface electrically connected to the battery and electrically attachable to or detachable from an external device; a voltage converter provided between the battery and the external interface; a low-voltage circuit that branches from an interface connection circuit connecting the external interface and the voltage converter and is connected to a low-voltage load having a rated voltage lower than a voltage of the battery; an interrupt circuit provided in the low-voltage circuit and configured to electrically interrupt the low-voltage circuit and the interface connection circuit; and an electronic control unit configured to control operations of the voltage converter and the interrupt circuit. The electronic control unit operates the interrupt circuit when a voltage of the interface connection circuit exceeds the rated voltage of the low-voltage load.

    摘要: Techniques and mechanisms for facilitating a scalable delivery of current to an inductor of a voltage regulator. In an embodiment, a hardware interface of integrated circuit (IC) die accommodates coupling of the IC die to multiple inductors. The hardware interface comprises contacts which are each to couple the IC die to a respective one of the multiple inductors. A phase circuit of the IC die includes multiple cells which are each coupled to a different respective contact of a plurality of contacts of the hardware interface. A digital controller of the IC die is operable to select any of various combinations of the multiple cells each to conduct a respective current with a corresponding one of the plurality of contacts. In another embodiment, the plurality of contacts are arranged as a multi-row, multi-column array.

    摘要: An apparatus includes a power supply monitor operative to monitor a status of multiple power converters. Based on the monitored status, the power supply monitor detects an event associated with a first power converter of the multiple power converters. The power supply monitor communicates a notification of the event to a management entity. The notification is encoded to include an identity of the first power converter experiencing the event as determined by the power supply monitor or other suitable entity.
