Abstract: Techniques are described for dynamically changing a power draw from a power source of a portable device based on an audio output of the portable device. In an example, the portable device determines that an audio signal to be output by the portable device is associated with an audio mode. The portable device sets a voltage of a power converter of the portable device to a voltage level based at least in part on the audio mode. An amount of power is supplied from a power source of the portable device to the power converter based at least in part on the voltage level. In addition, the portable device outputs the audio signal based at least in part on the amount of power.

Abstract: Method and systems for dynamic current redistribution in electronic devices with external power storage devices are disclosed. The dynamic current redistribution system includes a set of policies for each state of the electronic device. Depending on a device state, the system identifies the policies to be put in place, and directs current according to the policies. The electronic device may be connected to an external power source in one state, an external battery device in another state, and may be connected to both in a third state.
