Comparison of Claims 11 and 16 of the U.S. Patent 8,477,514 (EX1001):
`
`11[pre]: “A power system, comprising:” 16[pre]: “A method of operating a
`power system, comprising:”
`
`11[a]: “a power system controller
`to enable operation of
`configured
`components of a processor system to
`establish a state of power drain
`thereof,”
`
`of
`operation
`“enabling
`16[a]:
`components of a processor system to
`establish a state of power drain thereof;”
`
`11[b]: “said power system controller
`configured to provide a signal to
`identify operation of said processor
`system in said state of power drain; and”
`
`16[b]: “providing a signal to identify
`operation of said processor system in
`said state of power drain;”
`
`11[c]: “a power converter, coupled to
`said processor system, comprising a
`power converter controller configured
`to receive said signal from said power
`system controller, to sense a power level
`of said state of power drain in response
`to said signal, and”
`
`16[c]: “sensing a power level of said
`state of power drain in response to said
`signal; and”
`
`11[d]: “to control an internal operating
`characteristic of said power converter
`as a function of said power level.”
`
`16[d]: “controlling an internal operating
`characteristic of a power converter as a
`function of said power level.”

`

`Comparison of Claims 12-15 and 17-20 of the U.S. Patent 8,477,514 (EX1001):
`
`12[pre]: “The power system as recited
`in claim 11”
`
`17[pre]: “The method as recited in claim
`16, further comprising:”
`
`12[a]: “wherein said power converter
`further comprises a power switch
`configured to conduct for a duty cycle to
`provide an output characteristic at an
`output thereof,”
`
`17[a]: “inducing a power switch of said
`power converter to conduct for a duty
`cycle to provide an output characteristic
`at an output thereof; and”
`
`12[b]: “said power converter controller
`further configured to control said duty
`cycle of said power switch dependent on
`said output characteristic and
`in
`accordance with said power level.”
`
`17[b]: “controlling said duty cycle of
`said power switch dependent on said
`output characteristic and in accordance
`with said power level.”
`
`13: “The power system as recited in
`claim 11 wherein said signal is provided
`upon startup of said processor system.”
`
`18: “The method as recited in claim 16
`wherein said signal is provided upon
`startup of said processor system.”
`
`14: “The power system as recited in
`claim 11 wherein said power converter
`controller is configured to adjust said
`internal operating characteristic over a
`period of time.”
`
`19: “The method as recited in claim 16
`wherein said controlling said internal
`operating
`characteristic
`comprises
`occurs over a period of time.”
`
`15: “The power system as recited in
`claim 11 wherein said internal operating
`characteristic is selected from the group
`consisting of:
`a gate drive voltage level of a
`power switch of said power converter,
`a switching frequency of said
`power converter, and
`an internal direct current bus
`voltage of said power converter.”
`
`20: “The method as recited in claim 16
`wherein
`said
`internal
`operating
`characteristic is selected from the group
`consisting of:
`a gate drive voltage level of a
`power switch of said power converter,
`a switching frequency of said
`power converter, and
`an internal direct current bus
`voltage of said power converter.”
