Abstract: A workload dependent load-sharing mechanism in a multi-battery system. The mechanism is an energy management system that operates in three modes—energy saving mode, balancer mode, and turbo mode. The energy saving mode is a normal mode where the multiple batteries provide power to their own set of loads with least resistive dissipation. In balancing mode, the batteries are connected through switches operating in active mode so that the current shared is inversely proportion to the corresponding battery state-of-charge. In turbo mode, both batteries are connected in parallel through switches (e.g., on-switches) to provide maximum power to a processor or load. A controller optimizes the sequence and charging rate for a hybrid battery to maximize both the charging current and charging speed of the battery, while enabling longer battery life. The hybrid battery comprises a fast charging battery and a high-energy density battery.

Abstract: Some embodiments include apparatuses and methods having a node to couple to a serial bus, and a controller to provide a control signal to one of a first circuit path and a second circuit path in order to change electrical termination of a signal at the node between a first electrical termination through the first circuit path during a first mode of the controller and a second electrical termination through the second circuit path during a second mode of the controller. The controller can be arranged to provide the control signal to the first and second circuit paths during the first and second modes without providing another control signal from the controller to the first and second circuit paths during the first and second modes.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses and methods may provide for technology that detects a condition with respect to a system including a processing unit, wherein the processing unit is to include a turbo operation mode and intermittently or regularly shortens a repeated active duration of the turbo operation mode in response to the condition. In one example, intermittently shortening the repeated active duration of the turbo operation mode includes modifying a duration setting a rate of occurrence setting, a power level ratio setting and/or a duty cycle setting.

Abstract: A microcontroller, processor, and/or software (SW) monitors a battery degradation indicator such as battery State-Of-Health (SOH), impedance or other attributes, and calculates battery degradation rate and regulates burst power, battery charging speed and/or battery charging limit to meet users' expectation of battery service life. The microcontroller, processor, and/or SW increases the burst power, battery charging speed and/or battery charging limit when 1/SOH or impedance change rate (or related parameter) is smaller than expected and there is more longevity budget than expected. In another example, the microcontroller, processor, and/or SW decreases the burst power, battery charging speed and/or battery charging limit when 1/SOH or impedance change rate (or related parameter) is greater than expected and there is less longevity budget than expected.

Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms for supplementing power delivery with a battery. In an embodiment, a voltage is provided at a first node with the battery to power a load circuit. A charger is coupled between the first node and a second node, wherein a capacitor is coupled to provide charge to the charger via the second node. In response to detecting a transition of the voltage below a threshold voltage level, controller logic operates switch circuitry of the charger to provide charge from the capacitor. Such operation maintains the voltage in a range of voltage levels which are each above a minimum voltage level required by the load. At least a portion of the range is below the threshold voltage level. In some embodiments, another voltage at the second node provides a basis for generating a control signal to throttle an operation of the load circuit.
