1. An apparatus comprising:
- a first sensor input configured to receive a generated current magnitude;
a second sensor input configured to receive a voltage magnitude;
a first portion of memory configured to store data representing operational profiles for generating a power signal based on one or more sensed parameters including the generated current magnitude and the voltage magnitude, the operational profiles include data specifying a normal operating mode operational profile and an operational fault mode operational profile;
a mode controller configured to select an operational profile from the normal operating mode operational profile and the operational fault mode operational profile;
a waveform generator configured to generate the power signal with a first pulse width modulated signal in accordance with the operational profile;
a second portion of memory configured to store data representing fault profiles to determine types of faults; and
a fault detector configured to;
detect a first fault type and a second fault type based on a first fault profile and a second fault profile, respectively, and to perform a first fault action based on the first fault type or a second fault action based on the second fault type.

Abstract
Embodiments of the invention relate generally to power management and the like, and more particularly, to an apparatus, a system, a method, and a computer-readable medium for providing power controlling functionality to generate configurable power signals and to deliver power during fault conditions. In at least some embodiments, a power control unit can generate power signals having configurable attributes as a function of a mode of operation, a fault type, and the like.
