Assignee: GROQ, INC.
Field: Electrical machinery, apparatus, energy (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 5:
6. A regulator circuit for providing power to a load device having a power demand profile over time, comprising:
a power source having a first power rail for providing power;
a regulator coupled to the first power rail; and
a deterministic energy provisioning (DEP) device coupled to the regulator and the load device by a second power rail, wherein the regulator circuit is configured to:
manage an input power to the load device whereby an input current on the first power rail is maintained at or below a selected power rail current level, and wherein current on the second power rail is provided to the load device by the power source and the DEP device for a first period of time,
wherein the DEP device further comprises a storage device to store excess energy during a second period of time when excess power is provisioned by the power source, the excess energy subsequently supplied to the load device during the first period of time, and
wherein the DEP device further comprises provisioning extra energy based on the power demand profile that provides information about successive demand loads.
