A circuit arrangement comprises a photo detector () for detecting electromagnetic energy and a signal generating means () being suitable for generating a sequence of events wherein an event interval of the sequence depends on the detected electromagnetic energy. The signal generating means () is coupled downstream of the photo detector (). A counting means () for measuring a time period until a given number of events has been generated is coupled downstream of the signal generating means ().

Method for electromagnetic energy sensing and a circuit arrangement

A system includes a plurality of power supplies and a controller. The plurality of power supplies outputs power to a load. A serial bus connects the plurality of power supplies in a daisy chain. The controller is connected to first and last ones of the power supplies by the serial bus. The controller is connected to a management bus via a management bus interface. The controller monitors the plurality of power supplies via the serial bus. The controller transmits status information of the plurality of power supplies to the management bus via the management bus interface of the controller.
