20100291919 | Closed-Loop efficiency modulation for use in Network powered applications - A method and a remote device such as a sealed expansion module (SEM) for reducing power dissipation from an input power source in a telecommunications system are disclosed. A SEM contains a network feed monitor that receives an input voltage and current on twisted wire pair cables. The input voltage is then transmitted to a DC/DC converter and the voltage is adjusted and then transmitted to a BUS feed monitor connected to an active load. A first I2C device is connected to the network feed monitor to provide information related to input voltage and current to a main microprocessor that calculates input power. A second I2C device is connected to the BUS feed monitor and the active load to provide information related to the output voltage and output current to the main microprocessor that calculates output power. The main microprocessor is further connected through a third I2C device to a digital power manager that provides a DAC trim output to the DC/DC converter for optimizing the efficiency of the system. | 11-18-2010 |
20110038189 | CLOSED-LOOP EFFICIENCY MODULATION FOR USE IN AC POWERED APPLICATIONS - A system and method for closed-loop efficiency modulation for an AC/DC power system is provided. A boost-buck converter and a DC/DC converter connected in series receive a rectified DC feed signal from a AC input signal and deliver a modified DC output to an active load. A controller receives power data at various stages of the system and uses that data to modify a series of trim voltages provided to the feedback inputs of the respective converters to modify each converters output voltage. The controller modifies each converter's output voltage to maximize power efficiency while monitoring other data in the system to ensure the system is operating correctly and safely. | 02-17-2011 |

20090119535 | Method and apparatus for managing network synchronization information among multiple line cards - A method and apparatus for handling, maintaining, and controlling network synchronization information emanating from a plurality of line card circuits is described. The technique described may be applied to a redundant pair of line card circuits, where one line card circuit is active, while the other is inactive. Line card activity latches are managed by means of hardware logic that may be configured at the time of line card commissioning. The activity latches are coupled to a logic element. An incoming clock signal is applied to the logic element. If an activity latch indicates that a line card circuit is active, the logic element provides the incoming clock signal as an outgoing clock signal to a control card circuit. If the activity latch indicates that the line card circuit is inactive, the logic element blocks the incoming clock signal from being passed and provides a static output level as the outgoing clock signal to the control card circuit. The control card circuit is provided with circuitry to receive the outgoing clock signals from multiple line card circuits. The circuitry is sensitive to whether or not the line card circuits are configured for redundant operation. One or more of these clock signals are then selected and used for network synchronization. | 05-07-2009 |
20130031387 | CLOSED-LOOP EFFICIENCY MODULATION FOR USE IN NETWORK POWERED APPLICATIONS - Methods for reducing power dissipation from an input power source in a telecommunications system are disclosed. In one embodiment the method includes: utilizing a first I2C device to monitor an input voltage and input current to a remote unit; providing the input voltage and input current to a main microprocessor for calculating an input power; utilizing a second I2C device to monitor an output voltage and output current from the remote unit; providing the output voltage and output current to the main microprocessor for calculating an output power; calculating a power efficiency of the remote unit at the main microprocessor based on the input power and the output power; utilizing a third I2C device to provide the power efficiency of the remote unit to a digital power manager; and utilizing the digital power manager to control the DA trim output to a DC/DC converter. | 01-31-2013 |
