Abstract
Embodiments of power distribution systems and methods are described generally herein. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.
Claims32
A direct current (DC) limited power splitting module to provide a DC power signal to a plurality of DC powered devices, including:
- a power control module to determine the power level of the DC power signal and generate a control signal representing the power level;
- and
- a reference controlled output generator module to generate and provide the DC power signal to the plurality of DC powered devices and control the power level of the DC power signal based on the control signal.
A system, including:
- a direct current (DC) higher, limited power module to generate a higher, limited, DC power signal;
- a direct current (DC) lower, limited power splitting module to provide a lower, limited DC power signal to a plurality of DC powered devices and coupled to the DC higher, limited power module to receive the higher, limited DC power signal, including:
- a power control module to determine the power level of the DC power signal and generate a control signal representing the power level;
- and
- a reference controlled output generator module to generate and provide the DC power signal to the plurality of DC powered devices and control the power level of the DC power signal based on the control signal.
2 more elements
A method, including:
- at a power control module, determining the power level of a DC power signal and generating a control signal representing the power level;
- and
- at a reference controlled output generator module, generating and providing the DC power signal to a plurality of DC powered devices and controlling the power level of the DC power signal based on the control signal.
An article including a machine-accessible medium having associated information, wherein the information, when accessed, results in a machine performing:
- at a power control module, determining the power level of a DC power signal and generating a control signal representing the power level;
- and
- at a reference controlled output generator module, generating and providing the DC power signal to a plurality of DC powered devices and controlling the power level of the DC power signal based on the control signal.
A system, including:
- a direct current (DC) higher, limited power module to generate a higher, power limited, DC signal;
- a plurality of DC lower, limited power splitter modules coupled to the higher, limited power module, each DC lower, limited power splitter module generating a lower, power limited DC signal for a plurality of DC powered devices.
A method, including:
- at a direct current (DC) higher, limited power module, generating a higher, power limited, DC signal;
- at a plurality of DC lower, limited power splitter modules coupled to the higher, limited power module, generating a lower, power limited DC signal for a plurality of DC powered devices.
