Abstract
Systems and methods for managing current flow in a power circuit used to dynamically share power are disclosed. A Zener diode may automatically adjust current flow in the power circuit. If the power circuit has not received sufficient current for dynamic power sharing, the Zener diode may draw additional current from a power source. An electrical current in the power circuit may be divided into a plurality of current loads. Each of the plurality of current loads may be directed through a different path in the power circuit.
