Abstract
An information handling system (IHS) includes a power supply unit (PSU) and a power assist unit (PAU). The PSU provides power to a power rail at a first voltage level when he IHS is in a first platform state, and at a second voltage level when the IHS is in a second platform state. The PAU includes a power storage element, a converter coupled to the power storage element and to the power rail, and a controller. The controller determines whether the IHS is operating in the first or second platform state, directs the converter to provide power from the power storage element to the power rail at the first voltage level when the information handling system is in the first platform state, and to direct the converter to provide power from the power storage element to the power rail at the second voltage level when the information handling system is in the second platform state.
