Abstract: A computing device is associated with a circuit for sharing and distributing backup power. During normal operating conditions, a main bus bar provides power to each computing device in a rack via a main power bus of the corresponding circuit. In the event of an AC power outage, the main power bus is deactivated and a backup power path of the circuit is activated. Backup power is provided to the device from a battery of the circuit via the backup power path. A shared power path is also activated in the circuit such that backup power may be provided from the battery to the main bus bar. By providing backup power to the main bus bar, the other computing devices in the rack that do not have sufficient backup power may receive backup power from the main bus bar until AC power is restored.

Abstract: In some implementations, a programmable power adapter includes a first set of switches, a resonant circuit, a transformer, and a second set of switches. The power adapter includes control circuitry configured to provide control signals that change the voltage conversion ratios of the first set of switches and the second set of switches. The control circuitry can provide control signals causing the first set of switches to operate in one of multiple operating modes that each correspond to a different voltage conversion ratio, and the control circuitry can provide control signals causing the second set of switches to operate in one of multiple operating modes that each correspond to a different voltage conversion ratio.

Abstract: The present invention pertains to calibration in current sensing applications. Power conversion systems such as those used in computer architectures may employ step down converters such as buck converters or other types of converters. The present invention provides calibration processes and devices to account for various parasitic resistances which are found in such systems. A calibration circuit may be coupled to the buck converter or other power conversion to determine a calibrated voltage signal for the output of the power converter. An effective DC resistance may be determined and programmed for use by a control device used. In this way, the parasitic resistances are taken into account to obtain an accurate estimate of the actual current. In turn, this enables power converters and other devices to operate within specification requirements.

Abstract: This specification describes a device that includes a voltage-regulated DC-DC converter comprising a switching network, a resonant circuit, and control circuitry, wherein the switching network has a switching frequency. The DC-DC converter has an output impedance and the control circuity uses a control loop to control the DC-DC converter. The control circuitry implements the control loop using: an output voltage sensor configured to sense an output voltage of the DC-DC converter; and a compensator configured to adjust operation of the DC-DC converter based on the output voltage sensed by the output voltage sensor. The DC-DC converter comprises an output impedance suppression mechanism configured to at least partially suppress increases in the output impedance of the DC-DC converter.
