Abstract: A scheme is provided for dynamically adjusting an amount of power drawn from individual power sources to optimize the power usage without violating power limits. Coarse adjustment is provided through dynamic phase reallocation while a fine adjustment is provided through dynamic current steering. By adding a control loop around current steering techniques in digital voltage regulator controllers, power drawn from multiple input rails is balanced. The apparatus allows users to maximize the power delivered to discrete graphics cards without violating PCIe specifications. This allows maximum performance with minimal bill-of-material (BOM) cost.

Abstract: A charging system having a charging device with a groove for receiving a mobile/portable device for charging is provided having a magnetic core located in a housing of the charging device with the magnetic core having a base and two legs that are located around the groove. A coil is wrapped around the base and a driver circuit is connected to the coil as well as to an external power source. A power receiver is located in a mobile/portable device that can be placed in the groove in the charging device. The power receiver includes a receiver magnetic core as well as a receiving coil wrapped around the receiver magnetic core for receiving an inductive current from the charging device. A charging circuit is connected to the receiving coil and adapted to be connected to the battery of the mobile/portable device for charging.
