POWER SEQUENCE SYNCHRONIZATION BETWEEN MULTIPLE DEVICES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18665996 titled 'POWER SEQUENCE SYNCHRONIZATION BETWEEN MULTIPLE DEVICES

The abstract describes a power management circuit that includes a status terminal, an open drain driver, a slot parameter memory, and a slot duration counter. The circuit is designed to interact with another power management circuit by driving the status terminal, storing slot parameter values, timing slot durations, and activating the open drain driver based on the expiration of the slot duration.

The power management circuit includes a status terminal, open drain driver, slot parameter memory, and slot duration counter.
The status terminal is connected to another power management circuit.
The open drain driver is responsible for driving the status terminal.
The slot parameter memory stores slot parameter values.
The slot duration counter times slot durations based on values stored in the slot parameter memory and activates the open drain driver when the slot duration expires.

Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in various electronic devices that require efficient power management. - It can be implemented in IoT devices, smartphones, laptops, and other portable electronics.

Problems Solved: - Efficient power management in electronic devices. - Coordination between different power management circuits.

Benefits: - Improved power efficiency. - Enhanced coordination between power management systems. - Extended battery life in portable devices.

Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced Power Management Circuit for Enhanced Efficiency" This technology can be utilized in the development of next-generation electronic devices to improve power efficiency and prolong battery life. It has significant implications for the consumer electronics market, particularly in the IoT and mobile device sectors.

Questions about Power Management Circuit: 1. How does the slot duration counter contribute to efficient power management? The slot duration counter times slot durations based on values stored in the slot parameter memory, allowing for precise control over power usage. 2. What role does the open drain driver play in the power management circuit? The open drain driver is responsible for driving the status terminal and coordinating the activation of the power management circuit.

Original Abstract Submitted

A power management circuit includes a status terminal, an open drain driver, a slot parameter memory, and a slot duration counter. The status terminal is adapted to be coupled to a different power management circuit. The open drain driver is coupled to the status terminal, and is configured to drive the status terminal. The slot parameter memory is configured to store slot parameter values. The slot duration counter is coupled to the slot parameter memory and the open drain driver. The slot duration counter is configured to time a slot duration based on a slot duration value stored in the slot parameter memory, and to activate the open drain driver responsive to expiration of the slot duration.
