    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system that manages power allocated through a set of bus interfaces on a computer system. During operation, the system obtains a first request for revocable current beyond a reserved current for a first bus interface from the set of bus interfaces, wherein the request is associated with a first device connected to the first bus interface. Next, the system allocates the revocable current to the first bus interface from an extra-current budget for the set of bus interfaces. Upon detecting a connection of a second device that requires non-revocable current over the extra-current budget to a second bus interface from the set of bus interfaces, the system transmits a first notification to the first device to relinquish the revocable current. Finally, the system allocates the non-revocable current to the second device from the relinquished revocable current.

    Abstract: A method and system for modifying the pulse width modulation frequency for controlling the backlit illumination intensity of a liquid crystal display (14). The modified pulse width modulation frequency may be selected to reduce distortion in the display (14) while allowing for a wide range of dimming settings for the display (14). A pulse width modulation signal (95) may be also be phase shifted such that a string of light sources (110-115) may be sequentially activated to generate a effective frequency greater than that of the frequency of the pulse width modulation signal (95).
