Abstract
Techniques and mechanisms for providing power telemetry information which indicates a total load current from one or more power supply units (PSUs). In an embodiment, a device is coupled to receive a first signal from the current share bus which is coupled to each of multiple PSUs. A voltage level of the first signal represents a target amount of current to be output by each of the one or more PSUs. A second signal is generated based on both the first signal, and on an indication of a scale according to which a primary PSU of the one or more PSUs represents a target amount of current. In another embodiment, an amplification is performed, based on the second signal and on a total number of the one or more PSUs, to generate an Isys signal which indicates a total load current output by the one or more PSUs.IPC Classes ?
