A power supply architecture combines the benefits of a traditional single stage power delivery, when there are no additional power losses in the integrated VR with low VID and low CPU losses of FIVR (fully integrated voltage regulator) and D-LVR (digital linear voltage regulator). The D-LVR is not in series with the main power flow, but in parallel. By placing the digital-LVR in parallel to a primary VR (e.g., motherboard VR), the CPU VID is lowered and the processor core power consumption is lowered. The power supply architecture reduces the guard band for input power supply level, thereby reducing the overall power consumption because the motherboard VR specifications can be relaxed, saving cost and power. The power supply architecture drastically increases the CPU performance at a small extra cost for the silicon and low complexity of tuning.

Digital linear regulator clamping method and apparatus

A bi-directional charger may be provided that includes a logic, at least a portion of which is hardware, to determine an operational mode based at least on a characteristic at a battery port or at a charge port, and to control power flow between the charge port and the battery port based on the determined operational mode.

Bi-directional charger for battery device with control logic based on sensed voltage and device type

A computing system may include a base portion to receive one or more first batteries, and a tablet portion having one or more electronic components and the tablet portion to receive one or more second batteries. The tablet portion may be configured to be coupled to and detached from the base portion. The computing system may also include circuitry to control a supply of voltage to one or more electronic components of the tablet portion from one or more first batteries at the base portion and from one or more second batteries at the tablet portion.

Detachable computing system having bi-directional power flow

An electronic apparatus may include a charger device to obtain information relating to a first battery, and to set a limit of a battery charge current of a second battery based on the obtained information.

Power delivery system

An apparatus may include first circuitry coupled to one or more platform components, the first circuitry operative to receive an unfiltered input voltage signal, compare a first voltage level of the unfiltered input voltage signal to a first reference voltage level, and generate a control signal operative to lower operation power of one or more of the one or more platform components when the first voltage level is less than the first reference voltage level.

Method and apparatus for managing computing system power

Systems and methods may provide for a power management apparatus including a first path to be coupled to an output of a narrow voltage direct current (NVDC) charger and an input of a backlight voltage regulator (VR). The apparatus may also include a second path to be coupled to an input of the NVDC charger and the input of the backlight voltage regulator, wherein the second path is to bypass current around the NVDC charger and to the input of the backlight VR if a voltage supplied by a first power source to the NVDC charger exceeds a voltage of a second power source coupled to the output of the NVDC. In one example, the first path includes a first diode and the second path includes a second diode, wherein the first and second diodes form an OR configuration for the apparatus between the first and second paths.

Display backlight power consumption

A system and method for delivering documents having dynamic content embedded over the worldwide Internet or a local internet or intranet. A data source is stored on a server computer connected to the Internet, the data source containing content in a form representing or reducible to names and corresponding values. Document templates are created by embedding dynamic tags and flow directives in markup language documents, the dynamic tags and flow directives containing one or more names of content stored in the data source. The document templates are stored on the server computer. The server computer can receive requests from client computers connected to the Internet, the requests identifying desired documents to be delivered. In response to such a request, the server computer selects one of the document templates corresponding to the desired document, populates the document template with content stored in the data source based on respective values of content corresponding to names in the dynamic tags and flow directives, and delivers the populated document to the client computer. The invention has particular application to HTML documents transferred over the World Wide Web.
