System and method of providing power from one portion of an information handling system to another portion of the information handling system

A method, comprising:

• receiving, by an information handling system that includes a first portion and a second portion, power from a first power supply;
• determining that the second portion of the information handling system, coupled to the first portion of the information handling system, requires a portion of the power from the first power supply;
• determining a first voltage value associated with the power from the first power supply;
• determining, based at least on the first voltage value, a second voltage value, greater than the first voltage value;
• configuring, based at least on the first voltage value and based at least on the second voltage value, a plurality of switches of first circuitry of the first portion of the information handling system for charging a plurality of capacitors of the first circuitry;
• charging the plurality of capacitors of the first circuitry at a first voltage associated with the first voltage value;
• configuring, based at least on the second voltage value, a plurality of switches of second circuitry of the second portion of the information handling system for charging a plurality of capacitors of the second circuitry;
• configuring, based at least on the first voltage value and based at least on the second voltage value, the plurality of switches of the first circuitry for discharging the plurality of capacitors of the first circuitry;
• discharging the plurality of capacitors of the first circuitry to the second circuitry;
• charging the plurality of capacitors of the second circuitry at a second voltage associated with the second voltage value;
• configuring, based at least on the second voltage value, the plurality of switches of the second circuitry for discharging the plurality of capacitors of the second circuitry;
• and
• discharging the plurality of capacitors of the second circuitry to provide the portion of the power from the first power supply to one or more components of the second portion of the information handling system.

An embedded controller, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory medium, coupled to the processor, that stores instructions executable by the processor, which when executed by the processor, cause the embedded controller to:
• receive, by an information handling system, power from a first power supply, wherein the information handling system includes the embedded controller, a first portion and a second portion;
• determine that the second portion of the information handling system requires a portion of the power from the first power supply;
• determine a first voltage value associated with the power from the first power supply;
• determine, based at least on the first voltage value, a second voltage value, greater than the first voltage value;
• configure, based at least on the first voltage value and based at least on the second voltage value, a plurality of switches of first circuitry of the first portion of the information handling system for charging a plurality of capacitors of the first circuitry;
• charge the plurality of capacitors of the first circuitry at a first voltage associated with the first voltage value;
• configure, based at least on the second voltage value, a plurality of switches of second circuitry of the second portion of the information handling system for charging a plurality of capacitors of the second circuitry;
• configuring, based at least on the first voltage value and based at least on the second voltage value, the plurality of switches of the first circuitry for discharging the plurality of capacitors of the first circuitry;
