Abstract
A power supply including a power supplying connector, a direct current (DC) connector, an information extractor, power adaptor electronics, and variable voltage electronics. The information extractor being configured to extract digitally encoded data from a carrier wave. The digitally encoded data can specify power requirements of the DC power receiving device. The variable voltage electronics can adapt DC power generated by the power adaptor in accordance with settings provided by the information extractor. This adapted power can be provided to the DC power receiving device connected to the power supply via the DC connector.
