Method and Apparatus for Providing Peak Optimized Power Supply Unit
First Claim
1. An information handling system, comprising:
- a first power supply unit to provide power to a power rail to power a load of the information handling system, the first power supply unit configured to provide the power to the power rail at a first peak current level and at a first constant current level; and
a second power supply unit to provide power to the power rail, the second power supply unit configured to provide the power to the power rail at a second peak current level and at a second constant current level, wherein the second peak current level is greater than the first peak current level, and the second constant current level is greater than the first constant current level.

Abstract
An information handling system includes first and second power supplies. The first power supply unit provides power to a power rail to power a load of the information handling system, and is configured to provide the power to the power rail at a first peak current level and at a first constant current level. The second power supply unit provides power to the power rail, and is configured to provide the power to the power rail at a second peak current level and at a second constant current level. The second peak current level is greater than the first peak current level, and the second constant current level is greater than the first constant current level.
