Patent number: 10936042Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method, an apparatus, an additional power supply, and a mainboard system for supplying power to a processor. The method comprises determining whether an additional power supply is able to provide extra power required by a processor in response to receiving a first signal from a power supply unit that supplies power to the processor. The first signal indicates that the power required by the processor exceeds maximum power that can be provided by the power supply unit. The method further comprises supplying power to the processor by at least the additional power supply in response to determining that the additional power supply is able to provide extra power. The embodiments of the present disclosure can supply the required extra power to the processor from the additional power supply so as to optimize the performance of the processor in an acceleration mode.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2020Date of Patent: March 2, 2021Assignee: EMC IP Holding Company, LLCInventors: Jing Chen, Tao Yang, Jesse Xizhi Cui

Patent number: 10788850Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relates to a method and device for balancing a supply current. In one embodiment, a current supply current for a load is detected. A first signal representing the current supply current is transmitted to a digital logic module. A second signal representing a maximum supply current and a third signal representing a minimum supply current are received from the digital logic module. A subsequent supply current for the load is determined based on the current supply current, the maximum supply current and the minimum supply current. By using the method and device according to the embodiments of the present disclosure, the supply currents of a plurality of power supply units for the load can be balanced a simple way with a low hardware cost.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2019Date of Patent: September 29, 2020Assignee: EMC IP Holding Company LLCInventors: Sean Xu Chen, Jesse Xizhi Cui, Tao Yang, Haifang Zhai, Alice Aiqin Liu

Patent number: 10739837Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to a solution for supplying power to a processor. In some embodiments, there is provided a method for supplying power to a processor. The method comprises, in response to determining that an output voltage of a main power supply supplying power to a processor is lower than a predefined threshold, enabling an additional power supply to supply power to the processor. The method further comprises determining output power of the additional power supply. In addition, the method further comprises, in response to determining that the output power of the additional power supply exceeds peak power limit of the additional power supply, sending, by the additional power supply, a signal to the processor to lower a clock frequency of the processor.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2017Date of Patent: August 11, 2020Assignee: EMC IP Holding Company LLCInventors: Jesse Qiulin Cheng, Jing Chen, Jesse Xizhi Cui, Wei Shu, Hao Hu
