Abstract
Systems, methods, and apparatus for power management are disclosed. A power management integrated circuit has a bus interface circuit configured to couple the power management integrated circuit to a shared communication bus, one or more regulator circuits configured to provide current to a managed device, and a controller. The controller is configured to determine that current consumption by the managed device exceeds a threshold level, generate an extended current level message to be transmitted over the shared communication bus to the managed device and transmit a time value with the extended current level message, the time value indicative of an elapsed time between generation of the extended current level message and start of transmission of the extended current level message.
