  • Publication number: 20150160674
    Abstract: A method, device and system for efficient allocation of an available current supply to a first and second USB power port. The current drawn by a device connected to the first power port is measured and the first power port designated as a priority port. A first current limit is assigned to the priority port, where the selected first current limit is the lowest available current limit setting that is greater than the measured current draw on the priority port. A second current limit is assigned to the second power port, where the assigned second current limit is the highest available current limit setting that is less than or equal to the available current minus the first current limit. The current drawn on the priority port is periodically measured and the first current limit and the second current limit are adjusted accordingly to efficiently distribute the available current.
