Abstract

Systems and method for increasing current monitor accuracy are disclosed. The systems and methods may include receiving a run-time load value from a current monitor, determining a component parameter value associated with the run-time load value, and communicating the component parameter value to the current monitor.

Claims (31)

1. An information handling system for increasing current monitor accuracy, comprising:

a current monitor; and

a node manager communicatively coupled to the current monitor;

wherein:

the current monitor is configured to:

obtain a set of load values; and

statistically analyze the set of load values to generate a run-time load value based on the set of load values;

the current monitor is associated with an adjustable component for configuring the current monitor to operate in one of a plurality of power modes;

the node manager is configured to:

receive the run-time load value from the current monitor;

determine the one of the plurality of power modes in which the current monitor is to operate; and

communicate a parameter to the adjustable component to configure the current monitor to operate in the determined one of the plurality of power modes;

to determine the one of the plurality of power modes in which the current monitor is to operate, the node manager is configured to:

determine, responsive to the run-time load value being within a first range of run-time load values, that the current monitor should operate in a first power mode, and

determine, responsive to the run-time load value being within a second range of run-time load values, the second range being higher than the first range, that the current monitor should operate in a second power mode;

the current monitor operates more accurately in the first power mode than in the second power mode; and

the current monitor operates across a broader current range in the second power mode than in the first power mode.

2. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a sense element communicatively coupled with the current monitor, the sense element configured to measure a load value and communicate the load value to the current monitor to be statistically analyzed as part of the statistically analyzed set of load values.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the statistically analyzed set of load values comprises an average of load values over a period of time.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the node manager comprises a lookup table, the lookup table comprising the run-time load value and the component parameter.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the adjustable component is an analog-to-digital converter.

6. A method for increasing current monitor accuracy, the method comprising:

receiving, by a node manager, a run-time load value from a current monitor communicatively coupled with the node manager, the current monitor configured to statistically analyze a set of load values to generate the run-time load value based on the set of load values, the current monitor further associated with an adjustable component for configuring the current monitor to operate in one of a plurality of power modes;

determining, by the node manager, that the run-time load value is within a first range or a second range, the second range being higher than the first range;

based on the run-time load value being within a first range, determining that the current monitor should operate in a first power mode, and

based on the run-time load value being within a second range, determining that the current monitor should operate in a second power mode, wherein the current monitor operates more accurately in the first power mode than in the second power mode, and the current monitor operates across a broader current range in the second power mode than in the first power mode; and, in response:

adjusting, by the node manager, the adjustable component within the current monitor such that the current monitor transitions to the determined power mode.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the current monitor is further communicatively coupled with a sense element configured to measure a load value and communicate the load value to the current monitor to be statistically analyzed as part of the statistically analyzed set of load values.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the statistically analyzed set of load values comprises an average of load values over a period of time.

9. The method of claim 6 , wherein determining the component parameter value associated with the run-time load value comprises determining the component parameter value from a lookup table, the lookup table comprising the run-time load value and the component parameter.

10. The method of claim 6 , wherein the adjustable component is an analog-to-digital converter.
