Abstract
Power systems and methods are provided that receive input power and provide output power to a load. Under a first state of operation, power conversion circuitry may receive the input power and provide the output power. A bypass switch includes a controller that detects a failure condition by detecting a link down state on a communications interface. In response to detecting the link down state, the switch controller operates the bypass switch to convey the input power to the output in a second state of operation. The second state of operation is a bypass state of operation whereby the power conversion circuitry is bypassed.
