Abstract
Systems and apparatus for configurable current steering in a printed circuit board (PCB) include a plurality of power sources each including a power output, and a plurality of power loads each including a power input. A power distribution element includes a switching array configurable to selectively couple a respective power output of each of the plurality of power sources to a respective power input of each of the plurality of power loads. A controller is configured to determine that a first power load of the plurality of power loads is included in a first system configuration, and provide a control signal to the power distribution element to configure the switching array to couple a respective power output of a first power source of the plurality of power sources to a respective power input of the first power load.
