Publication number: 20250044847Abstract: In some examples, an electronic device comprises a processor and a power circuit coupled to the processor. The power circuit is to provide power to the processor and to measure a current drawn from the power circuit by the processor. The electronic device also comprises a voltage regulator controller coupled to the processor and the power circuit. The voltage regulator controller is to receive a current usage prediction from the processor, receive the measurement from the power circuit, compare the current usage prediction and the measurement, and, based on the comparison, drive the power circuit in accordance with the measurement instead of the current usage prediction.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 22, 2024Publication date: February 6, 2025Applicant: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Fangyong Dai, Qijun Chen, Ann Alejandro Villegas, Ling Wei Chung, Daniel Joseph Luc
