Abstract

See full text

A power adapter and a method of adapting power for electronic devices. Two or more input ports are connectable to electrical power sources. An output port is connectable to an electronic device. A controller is in parallel power-receiving communication with the input ports, in power-providing communication with the output port, and in data-carrying communication between the output port and a first one of the input ports. The method includes checking for electrical power at the first input port and at least one other input port, and when electrical power is present at both, coupling the power from the input ports in parallel to the output port and enabling data communication between the first input port and the output port.
