Abstract
There is provided a power management device including a load current control unit that sets an upper limit on a load current received from a connected feeding device and controls the load current on the basis of the upper limit, and a determination unit that, when the load current control unit has reset the upper limit to a higher value, determines if the upper limit has exceeded a current capacity of the feeding device on the basis of a voltage drop level of an input voltage. The load current control unit resets the upper limit in increments or decrements of a predetermined value, and the load current control unit, when the determination unit has determined that the upper limit had exceeded the current capacity of the feeding device, controls the load current by resetting the upper limit to a value not exceeding the current capacity.
