Abstract
A method of detecting overcurrent events within at least one electronic device, and an overcurrent detection module therefor. The method comprises receiving at least one current requirement indication from at least one electronic device, determining at least one overcurrent value based at least partly on the received at least one current requirement indication, receiving at least one indication of at least one input current flow for the at least one electronic device, and determining that an overcurrent event is occurring if the indicated at least one input current flow for the at least one electronic device exceeds the determined at least one overcurrent value.
