    Abstract: A power converter includes a high side switch, a low side switch, a low side driver, a loading detector, a configurable regulator and a high side driver. The low side driver generates a low side drive signal to control the low side switch. The configurable regulator generates a regulation voltage, a magnitude of which is greater when the loading detector detects that the power converter has light loading than when the loading detector detects that the power converter has heavy loading. The high side driver generates a high side drive signal that switches between the input voltage and the regulation voltage to control the high side switch.

  • Publication number: 20230376132
    Abstract: An information handling system stylus transmits a wireless signal at a writing tip to enhance touch detection of the writing tip by a touchscreen display and receives wireless signals from the touchscreen display at a receiving antenna. To enhance control of wireless energy distributed at the writing tip, the receiving antenna is selectively coupled to the writing tip, such as by transitioning from a float of the receiving antenna to an interface with the stylus power source at transmit by the writing tip. Charge at the receiving antenna helps to shape the energy distribution from the writing tip, such as to match the energy distribution of other styluses in use at the touchscreen display.
