Scalable Power Delivery System - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17823949 titled 'Scalable Power Delivery System
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a power delivery system in a computer system that uses multiple power converter circuits to generate different voltage levels on various power supply nodes.
- The system includes a step-down power converter circuit for generating a voltage level for host and follower power converter circuits.
- The host power converter circuit produces an external demand current that is shared among multiple follower power converter circuits to regulate the voltage level on the power supply nodes.
- The system can be adjusted for different computer system platforms by changing the number of follower power converter circuits.

Original Abstract Submitted
A power delivery system included in a computer system using multiple power converter circuits to generate respective voltage levels on multiple power supply nodes. The power delivery system includes a step-down power converter circuit that generates a voltage level for use by host and follower power converter circuits. The host power converter circuit generates an external demand current that is shared by multiple follower power converter circuits to regulate the voltage level on the multiple power supply nodes. The power delivery system can be scaled to different platforms of the computer system by adjusting the number of follower power converter circuits.
