Patent number: 11101674Abstract: A system may include an adapter, a charger, and a connector. The adapter is configured to receive an alternating current (AC) signal and generate an adapter signal, the adapter signal being generated based on an up-conversion of the AC signal. The charger is configured to generate a direct current (DC) signal from the adapter signal using one or more energy storage elements and supply the DC signal to a load, in which the adapter signal has a voltage greater than that of the DC signal. The connector is configured to couple the adapter and the charger. In some aspects, the adapter signal is adjusted based on one or more measurements of the DC signal at an output of the charger to maintain a target power for charging the load.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2017Date of Patent: August 24, 2021Assignee: Avago Technologies International Sales Pte. LimitedInventors: John S. Walley, Michael Braiman, Jay E. Ackerman, John L. McNitt, Arun Palaniappan, Rishi Agarwal, Marc Keppler

Patent number: 9342400Abstract: Aspects of dynamic power profiling are described herein. In various embodiments, a current sense operating mode is set for a current sense circuit, and the current sense circuit is enabled for operation. The current sense circuit senses an amount of current supplied by at least one of a plurality of power rails based on the current sense operating mode. The current sense circuit also accumulates and stores a value of the amount of current over a period of time. In certain aspects, a system controller averages the value of the amount of current based on the period of time. The current sense circuit may be configured to operate in various modes of operation including single or scan rail modes of operation, and the average of the value of the amount of current may be evaluated based on the modes of operation of the current sense circuit and/or the system.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 2013Date of Patent: May 17, 2016Assignee: BROADCOM CORPORATIONInventors: Walid Nabhane, Mark D.
