ENERGY DELIVERY ON PATHS USED FOR COMMUNNICATION

摘要

Systems and methods for delivering energy on a bus used for communication between devices are provided. Systems and methods dynamically provide a predetermined recovery time between communication messages calculated from forward and response message types and/or length, and a model of the energy reserve in the network devices to allow time for energy storage circuits in the devices to charge. In addition or alternatively, systems and methods provide an extra recovery time between messages to allow the bus voltage to recover from a fold-back mode and/or include an extra current limit circuit to increase a power supply current when the combined energy required by the network devices is greater than a current limit on a power supply.
