Dynamic input power monitor

A dongle comprising:

• a multi-type power adapter port to receive power from a power source;
• a universal serial bus (USB) Type-C port to provide power at a first power level to an electronic device coupled with the dongle via a USB connection;
• a power monitor to identify whether the power received from the power source is less than the first power level;
• and
• a power delivery (PD) module communicatively coupled with the power monitor, wherein the PD module is to:
• determine a second power level that is less than the first power level, wherein determination of the second power level is based on communication with the electronic device in response to identification by the power monitor that the power received from the power source is less than the first power level;
• and
• facilitate provision of power to the system at the second power level.

An embedded controller (EC) to be used in an electronic device, wherein the EC comprises:

• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more non-transitory computer-readable media comprising instructions that, upon execution of the instructions by the one or more processors, are to cause the EC to:
• facilitate operation of a processor of the electronic device at a first power level that is based on an operating parameter of the processor;
• identify that power provided by a power supply coupled to the electronic device is below the first power level;
• identify a second power level that is less than the first power level;
• adjust, based on the second power level, the operating parameter of the processor;
• and
• facilitate, based on the second power level and the adjusted operating parameter, operation of the processor.

An electronic device that includes:

• a power input port to receive power from a power supply;
• a power monitor to monitor the power received from the power supply;
• a processor;
• and
• an embedded controller (EC), wherein the EC is to:
• identify, based on an alarm received from the power monitor, that power provided by the power supply is below a first power level that is related to an operating parameter of the processing unit;
• identify, based on an indication received from the power monitor, a second power level that is less than the first power level;
• facilitate adjustment of the operating parameter based on the second power level;
• and
• facilitate operation of the processor at the second power level.
