Abstract
Methods and apparatus relating to improving dynamic response of hybrid power boost technology are described. In one embodiment, two or more levels of charger over-current are used for AC adapters/chargers during transition from charging (e.g., one or more battery packs) to boosting platform performance (e.g., by increasing the operating frequency of one or more processor cores of a processor). In another embodiment, an adapter's voltage level is used as a trigger for fast transition from charging to boosting. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.
