Title: Power supply
Inventor: TESTIN WILLIAM JOHN
IPC: H04N5/63
Filed: 2002-06-12
Abstract: A connector with a limited ampacity supplies a load which draws more current
than the ampacity of the connector. A buck converter changes the power passing
through the connector to a higher current at a lower voltage to energize the load. 
     Alternatively, if the load is intermittent, the current passing through the
connector may charge a large capacitor which is able to supply a larger current to the
intermittent load. The capacitor may also be used to power a continuous load, such
as a memory, during failure of a power supply feeding the connector.
