Patent ID: 10910848

Abstract:
The invention provides power management circuitry for a console. The power management circuitry includes a charging component which includes an integrated circuit for managing the output current separately for charging the battery and for running the console. The integrated circuit comprises a first pin and a second pin to output current which provides voltage (VBAT_SUPPLY) for charging the battery. A third pin and a fourth pin of the integrated circuit is used to output current which provides voltage (VBAT) for running the console. These pins are connected to form a parallel circuit, wherein the integrated circuit cuts off the output current of the first pin and the second pin when VBAT_SUPPLY voltage reaches 4.18V indicating that the battery is fully charged, thereby eliminating charging current and reducing the leakage current. Further, a charging circuit of the console enables bypassing the battery based on instructions received from a power management unit.
