Apparatus for power management
First Claim
1. An apparatus for power management, comprising:
- a power input node configured to receive charge from a primary power source at a first power level;
a power-converter, having an enabled state and a disabled state, and coupled to receive the charge from the power input node;
an energy buffer, coupled to receive and store the charge from the power-converter, and configured to release the charge at a second power level;
a power output node, coupled to receive the charge from the energy buffer, and configured to supply the charge at the second power level to a load;
wherein the second power level is greater than the first power level; and
wherein the power-converter switches between the enabled state and the disabled state based on whether the charge is supplied to the load.
