Yeah, that was a fairly muddled description -- it's really the latter.

My understanding is that "efuse" as used by the manufacturer refers to the combined circuit, including the LM25066. Is that a sufficient "high level schematic", or is there additional information you're looking for? I do have access to a detailed schematic of the circuit, but unfortunately I don't think I'm at liberty to share it. (I don't know exactly what the Inspur unit uses because I haven't dealt with that one first-hand, but I'd guess it's probably broadly similar.) Thanks, Zev

This can be used to describe a power output supplied by a regulator device that the system controls.
