    Abstract: Examples disclosed herein relate to determining a power sense output based on a current sense line and a voltage sense line. A first stage circuit has a first voltage input of the current sense line of a server. The first stage circuit also has a feedback voltage input based on an output voltage of the first stage circuit and a variable resistance value based on the voltage sense line of the server. A second stage circuit is used to buffer the first output voltage to yield a second output voltage. A third stage circuit yields a power sense output based on a difference between the second output voltage and the first voltage input.

    Abstract: Examples disclosed herein relate to determination of a power capping signal based on direct memory access. In an example, a hardware timer in a processor may generate a hardware trigger. In response to the hardware trigger, an analog-to-digital convertor (ADC) engine may obtain an analog voltage signal from a server. ADC engine may convert the analog voltage signal to a digital output. ADC engine may then generate a second hardware trigger. In response to the second hardware trigger, a direct memory access engine may provide the digital output to a programmable logic device via a direct memory access (DMA) operation. The programmable logic device may determine a power capping signal based on the digital output, and provide the power capping signal to the server.

    Abstract: A device that is communicating with other devices via a common bus discovers addresses of the other devices. The device transmits data to the other devices at a transmit time determined based on the addresses of the other devices. The device predicts receive times at which data will be received from the other devices and determines the transmit time based on predicted receive times, avoiding data collisions. The devices may include universal sensor data acquisition devices (“USDADs”) that are each connectable to different types of sensors arranged within a server rack. Each USDAD determines a type of a connected sensor that is within a server rack and collects sensor data from the connected sensor.
