Abstract
The present application teaches methods and apparatuses related to providing dynamic auxiliary port power management including providing a first current to a first auxiliary port and a second current to a second auxiliary port, determining a system power level in response to the first current and the second current, comparing the system power level to a system power level threshold, and providing a third current to the second auxiliary port in response to the system power level exceeding the system power level threshold, the third current having a lower amperage than the second current.
