Abstract
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.
