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.

Voltage minimum active protection circuit and method of operating same

In some examples, an apparatus can control power provision to a computing device. A controller is to provide power to the computing device from a first power source at a power level above a sustained power rating of the first power source for a first time period, and is to provide power to the computing device from a second power source at a power level above a sustained power rating of the second power source for a second time period after the first time period.

Multiple power input charging

In some examples, a hybrid power boost peak power protection system includes an energy storage, a hybrid power boost charger to charge a battery, and a switch to couple a system load to the energy storage and to decouple the system load from the energy storage.
