Intelligent and adaptive sharing of power among power delivery ports

A system comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• at least one processing device, operatively coupled to the memory, to:
• monitor power consumption by at least one device of a plurality of devices by obtaining at least one current measurement of actual current consumption by the at least one device, wherein each device of the plurality of devices is connected to a port of a plurality of ports, and wherein each port of the plurality of ports is allocated a respective allocation of a total amount of system power;
• determine whether the at least one current measurement satisfies a threshold condition;
• responsive to determining that the at least one current measurement satisfies the threshold condition, cause the total amount of system power to be reallocated such that each port of the plurality of ports is allocated a respective reallocation of the total amount of system power;
• and
• determine whether the at least one current measurement satisfies the threshold condition by determining whether the at least one current measurement is greater than a sum of a stored current measurement and a first current measurement threshold, or the at least one current measurement is less than a difference between the stored current measurement and a second current measurement threshold.

A system comprising:

• a plurality of Universal Serial Bus Type-C (USB-C) ports, wherein each USB-C port of the plurality of USB-C ports is allocated a respective allocation of a total amount of system power;
• a plurality of devices, wherein each device of the plurality of devices is connected to a respective USB-C port of the plurality of USB-C ports;
• and
• at least one processing device, operatively coupled to a memory, to:
• monitor power consumption by at least one device of the plurality of devices by obtaining at least one current measurement of actual current consumption by the at least one device;
• determine whether the at least one current measurement satisfies a threshold condition;
