DYNAMIC THERMAL BALANCING OF PARALLEL REGULATORS TO REDUCE HOTSPOTS AND INCREASE PERFORMANCE

摘要

A method for supplying power to a battery determines (1200) a first thermal budget for a first charging regulator. The method also determines (1202) a second thermal budget for a second charging regulator. The first charging regulator and the second charging regulator are coupled to the battery. The method further includes dynamically increasing (1204) a first charging regulator power output and substantially simultaneously decreasing a second charging regulator power output based on the first thermal budget and the second thermal budget.
