Abstract:
1. A power management system, comprising: a voltage source configured to provide at least a first voltage and a second voltage; and a controller configured to couple a selected one of the first voltage to a first voltage supply terminal and the second voltage to a second voltage supply terminal in response to a comparison of one or more first variables associated with the first voltage supply terminal to one or more second variables associated with the second voltage supply terminal wherein the selected one of the one or more first variables is selected from a group consisting of a first current conducted by the first voltage supply terminal and a first power amount consumed by first loads coupled to the first voltage supply terminal and the selected one of the one or more second variables is selected from a group consisting of a second current conducted by the second voltage supply terminal and power amount consumed by second loads coupled to the second voltage supply terminal.
