Abstract
A method of intelligently allocating power to one or more devices connected to a power delivery system includes detecting an event related to an allocation of power between the one or more connected devices. The method further includes maximizing an initial non-power delivery (non-PD) power provided to at least one of the connected devices based on an available shared capacity (ASC) associated with at least one connected device and also includes allocating power to the at least one connected device using PD protocols.
Claims20
A method of intelligently allocating power to one or more devices connected to a power delivery system, the method comprising:
- detecting an event related to an allocation of power between the one or more connected devices;
- maximizing an initial non-power delivery (non-PD) power provided to at least one of the connected devices based on an available shared capacity (ASC) associated with at least one connected device;
- and
- allocating power to the at least one connected device using PD protocols.
A power delivery system comprising:
- an input port configured to receive power from a power supply;
- at least a first output port, wherein the first output port is configured to supply power to a connected device;
- and
- a power delivery controller, wherein the power delivery controller maximizes an initial non-power delivery (non-PD) power provided to a device connected to the first output port during a first stage and utilizes power delivery (PD) protocols to increase power provided to the device connected to the first output port during a second stage.
