Abstract: Examples described herein relate to during a boot of a power supply unit (PSU) connected to a computer platform, circuitry to receive a firmware identifier and manufacturer identifier associated with the PSU and determine whether the PSU is approved to utilize. In some examples, based on, at least, authentication of the firmware identifier and manufacturer identifier of the PSU, the circuitry is to permit access to data and/or power from the PSU. In some examples, based on, at least, failure to authenticate the firmware identifier or manufacturer identifier of the PSU, the circuitry is to deny access to data and/or power from the PSU.

Abstract: In some examples, an integrated circuit includes a plurality of power modules formed on a substrate, including a first power module located between second and third power modules. The first power module is configured to conduct a load current, and includes a power transistor and first and second sense transistors. The first sense transistor is disposed at a first position between the second power module and a central axis of the first power module, and the second sense transistor is disposed at a second position between the third power module and the central axis. The first sense transistor is configured to conduct a first sense current; and the second sense transistor is configured to conduct a second sense current. The first and second sense transistors are configured to direct the first and second sense currents toward a measurement circuit that is configured to determine a derived sense current indicative of the load current.
