  • Patent number: 9991704
    Abstract: A power supply apparatus including a master power converter and a slave power converter is provided. The master power converter generates a main power having a working voltage level. The slave power converter generates an auxiliary power. According to its operation state, the master power converter provides a corresponding control signal to the slave power converter.
