A power delivery system includes: an AC-to-DC power supply configured to output initial DC power; a first power delivery unit connected to the power supply and having at least one output port, the first power delivery unit being configured as a DC-to-DC power converter to provide converted DC power through the at least one output port, the converted DC power having a different voltage and/or a different current than the output initial DC power; and a second power delivery unit connected to the power supply or the first power delivery unit through an input port and having at least one output port, the second power delivery unit being configured as a DC-to-DC power converter to provide an output DC power through the at least one output port which has a different voltage and/or a different current than the power received through the input port.

One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for facilitating a shutdown of output power from an energy panel arrangement to an inverter. A shutdown implementation module is coupled between an energy panel arrangement and an inverter that converts DC power from the energy panel arrangement to AC power for an AC power grid. A communication connection is established, over a power-line communication line, between the shutdown implementation module and a shutdown controller associated with the inverter. Responsive to identifying a loss of the communication connection or receiving a shutdown instruction over the power-line communication line, the shutdown implementation module shuts down output power from the energy panel arrangement to the inverter. The shutdown implementation module may be located within a threshold distance from the energy panel arrangement (e.g., within about 10 feet) so that the output power may be shutoff within a threshold timespan (e.g., within about 10 seconds).

In described examples, an integrated circuit (IC) includes an isolation, an input/output (IO), and a low power mode (LPM) control logic. The isolation includes a level shift with pull-down configured to weakly pull down the voltage of signals that travel through the isolation. The IO includes an input and a physical connector for coupling to a power management IC. The IO provides an asserted-low LPM enable signal to the physical connector in response to the IO input. An output of the LPM control logic is coupled via the isolation to the input of the IO. The LPM control logic provides a high voltage signal to the input of the IO as a default during power on reset (POR) of the IC. The pull-down pulls the LPM enable signal voltage to the asserted low voltage in response to a voltage of the LPM enable signal falling below a threshold.
