  • Patent number: 11387743
    Abstract: A power supply device is configured with input terminal (11) connectable to AC power supply (1) whose power supply frequency fluctuates, rectifier (12) that rectifies an AC voltage applied to power input terminal (11), frequency detector (13) that measures frequency of rectifier (12), current limiter (14) that regulates current output from rectifier (12), charge accumulation unit (15) that accumulates charge output from current limiter (14), current detector (16) that measures current output from charge accumulation unit (15), load connection terminal (17) connectable to load (20) that is operated by current output from current detector (16), and controller (18) that controls a regulated value of current limiter (14) and capacitance of charge accumulation unit (15) in accordance with fluctuation of the frequency measured by frequency detector (13) in such a manner that the current output from charge accumulation unit (15) becomes larger than current consumed by load (20) at a predetermined time.

  • Patent number: 9935431
    Abstract: Provided is a power supply identification apparatus including circuitry including a first input terminal, a second input terminal and an output terminal which outputs a driving voltage to an electric device, and a power supply identification section which (i) determines from which of a first power supply and the second power supply a power is being input based on a relationship between an input timing of a first voltage to the first input terminal and a second voltage to the second input terminal, and (ii) switches the driving voltage output from the output terminal according to the power supply the power is being input from to control an initial ON/OFF state of the electric device.

  • Publication number: 20120326529
    Abstract: A power supply identification apparatus includes a first delay section for delaying a voltage via the first power terminal or the second power terminal by a first delay time so as to output the voltage to the first input terminal, a second delay section for delaying a voltage via the first power terminal or the second power terminal by a second delay time shorter than the first delay time so as to output the voltage to the second input terminal, and a delay time switching section for switching the second delay time into a third delay time longer than the first delay time based on a power supply to the second power terminal.
