Abstract
A method includes receiving, by a first device in a stack, a command from a controller. The stack includes multiple devices. The method also includes dissipating, by the first device, an amount of power responsive to a difference between a longest response time for the devices to respond to the command, and a device response time for the first device to respond to the command.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a first device in a stack, a command from a controller, wherein the stack includes of devices;
- and
- dissipating, by the first device, an amount of power responsive to a difference between:
- a longest response time for the devices to respond to the command;
- and
- a device response time for the first device to respond to the command.
3 more elements
A device of a stack that includes multiple devices, the device comprising:
- a communication interface configured to receive a command from a controller;
- and
- a processor coupled to the communication interface, the processor configured to cause the device to dissipate an amount of power responsive to a difference between:
- a longest response time for the devices to respond to the command;
- and
- a device response time for the device to respond to the command.
3 more elements
A system, comprising:
- a battery management controller;
- and
- a stack of battery monitors coupled to the battery management controller, wherein the stack includes a first battery monitor and a second battery monitor;
- wherein the first and second battery monitors are configured to receive a command from the battery management controller;
- and
- wherein the first battery monitor is configured to dissipate an amount of power responsive to a difference between:
- a longest response time for the first and second battery monitors to respond to the command;
- and
- a device response time for the first battery monitor to respond to the command.
