Management Discussion
- In fiscal 2020, we delivered growth in margins and earnings per share in a very challenging environment with the COVID-19 pandemic. Total revenue decreased by 5% compared with fiscal 2019. Our product revenue declined in Infrastructure Platforms and Applications, partially offset by growth in Security, and we continued to make progress in the transition of our business model to increased software and subscriptions. We remain focused on accelerating innovation across our portfolio, and we believe that we have made continued progress on our strategic priorities. We continue to operate in a challenging macroeconomic and highly competitive environment. We saw broad-based weakening in the global macroeconomic environment during the fiscal year which impacted our commercial and enterprise markets. We also experienced continuing weakness in the service provider market and emerging countries, and we expect ongoing uncertainty in these markets. While the overall environment remains uncertain, we continue to aggressively invest in priority areas with the objective of driving profitable growth over the long term.

Battery Charging Cut-off Circuit
4 Mar 21
In one embodiment, a battery backup unit (BBU) cut-off and recharge circuit includes: a first transistor, a power entry connection connected to a main power supply, where power from the power entry connection flows to application circuits for an electronic device, and the first transistor is positioned between a BBU and the power entry connection, and a microcontroller, where the microcontroller is operative to: detect a loss of power from the main power supply, turn on the first transistor to enable the BBU to discharge through the power entry connection to application circuits, detect a status of charge (SOC) for the BBU, and upon detecting that the SOC is under a predefined threshold, set the BBU cut-off and recharge circuit to a lockdown state by turning off the first transistor.
