Fair Share Power (FSP) Policy is the Shared Capacity Policy's Power Distribution Rule. When using FSP, Port Min Power is guaranteed for each Source port and the remaining power in Power Reserve is intelligently distributed to ports according to their Port Partners' Sink Capabilities.
The FSP parameters shown in Table 3-2 are used in the power distribution method and to achieve FSP between two Sinks.
Fair Share Power Policy Parameters | Description |
---|---|
Port Min Power | Configurable minimum VBUS power for each port |
Equally Divided Shared Power | Equally Shared Power from Power Reserve that can be distributed to each
port. Power Reserve / Total number of ports. |
Per Port Guaranteed FSP | Guaranteed Shared Power for each port. Equally Divided Shared Power + Minimum Port Power |
The typical flow of the Fair Share Power Policy power distribution is as follows:
Example Scenario | Corresponding Power Distribution | |
---|---|---|
1 | Both Port Partners' Sink Capabilities are less than the Per Port Guaranteed FSP. | The SPM distributes power to meet the Sink Capabilities and stores the remaining power to Power Reserve. |
2 | Both Port Partners' Sink Capabilities are higher than the Per Port Guaranteed FSP. | The SPM distributes the Per Port Guaranteed FSP to each Sink. |
3 | One Port Partner's Sink Capabilities is higher than the Per Port Guaranteed FSP and the other Port Partner's Sink Capabilities is less than the Per Port Guaranteed FSP. | The SPM distributes power to the Sink requesting lower power and the remaining power to the other Sink. |
For example scenarios of FSP to better understand this policy's power distribution methods, see Section 5.2.
