Abstract:
An information handling system includes a PSU current level combiner, a current level indication splitter, and a load element. The PSU current level combiner receives a PSU current level indication from each of a plurality of PSUs, and provides a system current level indication that indicates a total amount of current supplied by the PSUs. Each PSU current level indication is a current signal and wherein a current level of each PSU current level indication is proportional to the amount of current supplied by the associated PSU. The system current level indication is a current signal. A current level of the system current level indication is proportional to the total amount of current. The system current level indication splitter receives the system current level indication, and provides copies of the system current level indication. The load element receives a copy of the system current level indication, and modifies a behavior of the first load element based on the copy of the system current level indication.
