1. A device, comprising:
a first set of interfaces configured to be coupled to a processor;
a second set of interfaces configured to output signals for controlling power to be applied to an auxiliary device; and
a control circuitry electrically coupled to the first set of interfaces and the second set of interfaces, the control circuitry configured to:
receive, via the first set of interfaces, a first set of power control parameters generated by the processor;
control, via the second set of interfaces, a plurality of switching devices to provide first power output to an auxiliary device according to the first set of power control parameters;
receive, via the first set of interfaces, a first set of power status data regarding operation of the auxiliary device;
determine a first activity level of the auxiliary device based on the first set of power status data;
determine that the first set of power control parameters exceed a threshold range based on the first activity level;
generate a second set of power control parameters based on determination that the first set of power control parameters exceed the threshold range, the second set of power control parameters corresponding to a second power output different than the first power output; and
control, via the second set of interfaces, the plurality of switching devices to provide the second power output to the auxiliary device according to the second set of power control parameters, control according to the second set of power control parameters overriding control of the plurality of switching devices according to the first set of power control parameters.
