Claim Text:
1. A system comprising: a voltage source; an input/output (I/O) bus, wherein the input/output bus transmits current to and data from one or more electronic devices; and an intelligent current bank coupling the voltage source to the I/O bus, wherein the intelligent current bank comprises: an ammeter, wherein the ammeter measures a real-time flow of current through a resistance that is coupled to the voltage source; and an intelligent Pulse-Width Modulator (iPWM), wherein the iPWM couples the ammeter and the resistance to the I/O bus, and wherein the iPWM is constructed to: determine whether the real-time flow of current through the resistance being measured by the ammeter exceeds a predetermined amount; and in response to determining that the real-time flow of current through the resistance being measured by the ammeter exceeds the predetermined amount, selectively decrease current to at least one of said one or more electronic devices, wherein current to said at least one of said one or more electronic devices is decreased by the iPWM by shortening a duty cycle of voltage being received by the iPWM from the voltage source.
