A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11888342B2) discloses an electric system designed to efficiently manage multiple charging loads. The system includes an input terminal for receiving voltage, a system output terminal for providing system voltage, and N charging output terminals connected to N loads. The system features an input switch, a switching circuit capable of operating in buck or boost mode, N charging units for each load, and a voltage control module to adjust the boost output voltage based on the charging currents. Specifically, when the charging currents exceed a fast charge threshold, the boost output voltage is controlled to decrease from an initial voltage.

Moreover, the patent details a method for controlling the electric system, involving setting the boost output voltage to an initial level, monitoring the charging currents, and adjusting the boost output voltage accordingly. Notably, if the charging currents surpass a fast charge threshold, the boost output voltage is regulated to decrease. The method also includes provisions for maintaining the boost output voltage at the initial level when any of the charging currents fall below a pre-charge threshold. Additionally, the adjustment of the boost output voltage involves incremental changes within a specified range, ensuring efficient charging management for the N loads.
