Hdmi To Vga Converter - Power Draw Okay For 360?

So I bought a powered one, and am using the converter on my 360. It gives a slightly sharper picture than straight HDMI to HDMI, with the advantage I don't have to muck about with leads to play games such as Stubbs the Zombie which don't run in VGA. My question is, is the power draw of 500mah going to be okay on my 360? I'd imagine so but I don't want to risk damaging it.
