Abstract

Methods and systems for power supply unit (PSU) current sharing may include an In-System Power Monitoring and Management (IPMM) module monitoring an output value of a first power supply unit in a multi-power supply system. In an embodiment, the IPMM module may monitor an output value of a second power supply unit in the multi-power supply system. Additionally, the IPMM module may monitor an output performance parameter for the multi-power supply system. Furthermore, the IPMM module may adjust a setting of at least one of the first power supply unit and the second power supply unit for optimization of a current sharing performance parameter of the multi-power supply system. In various embodiments, the setting may include a droop voltage value, a distribution impedance value, or a set voltage increment value of at least one of the first power supply unit and the second power supply unit.
