Electronic devices that include a composition that can generate a gaseous oxidizing agent component; and a generating device configured to actively cause the composition to generate the gaseous oxidizing agent component. The generating device includes at least one metal-air battery that is in electrical communication with a power source that is configured to apply power to the metal-air battery according to a predetermined time interval to recharge the metal-air battery to generate the gaseous oxidizing agent component.

Electronic device that includes a composition that can actively generate and release a gaseous oxidizing agent component into an interior space of the electronic device, and related subassemblies and methods

The present disclosure relates to electronic devices that include a composition that actively generates a gaseous oxidizing agent component within the interior gas space of the electronic device. The present disclosure also involves related methods.

Electronic devices may have several power supplies. Current from the power supplies may be provided to multiple loads, such as motors, processors, or other devices. When a current demand of one or more of the loads increases, current from the power supplies may be provided to meet the increased current demands of the one or more loads. To determine how much current can be provided to the loads from the power supplies, output currents of the power supplies can be determined, and a feedback voltage can be generated based on the output currents. The feedback voltage can be compared against hysteretic voltages to determine how much current may be transferred from the power supplies to the loads to compensate for the current demands of the loads.

Power balancing

Systems and methods are disclosed for providing a current boost to support a voltage. In an embodiment, an apparatus comprises a voltage node; a switch coupled to the voltage node; a sensing circuit including an input coupled to the voltage node and an output for providing a corresponding voltage; and a voltage regulator coupled to receive the corresponding voltage and coupled to control the switch responsive to the received corresponding voltage. In an embodiment, a method comprises sensing a voltage; using a voltage regulator to turn on a switch responsive to the sensed voltage being less than a certain value; and providing additional current through the on switch to substantially maintain the voltage from being less than the certain value.

Current boost circuit

In response to a hard disk drive losing primary power, power is obtained from a spinning motor of the hard disk drive. Portions of a controller of the hard disk drive are selectively depowered to facilitate performing safeguard operations via the controller using the power obtained from the spinning motor.
