Abstract
Power regulator circuitry that can provide a regulated power signal. The power regulator circuitry may include data processing circuitry configured to determine the regulated power signal to arbitrate power supply requirements of first and second powered devices according to power supply information associated with the first and second powered devices. The power regulator circuitry may also include output circuitry configured to output the regulated power signal to one or both of the first and second powered devices.
