Patent number: 8076918Abstract: A multi-phase driving circuit includes a single-phase pulse-width modulation (PWM) controller, a number of drivers, and a number of switch circuits connected to the number of drivers correspondingly. The single-phase PWM controller is configured for providing a single-phase PWM signal. Each of the number of drivers receives the single-phase PWM signal and adjusts a phase of the single-phase PWM signal to output an adjusted PWM signal. Each of the number of drivers also outputs a driving signal. Each of the number of switch circuits receives the adjusted PWM signal and the driving signal from a driver. Each of the number of switch circuits generates a driving voltage controlled by the driving signal and adjusts a phase of the driving voltage controlled by the adjusted PWM signal and then outputs the adjusted driving voltage, so as to make the number of switch circuits output a multi-phase driving voltage to a load.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2009Date of Patent: December 13, 2011Assignee: Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., Ltd.Inventors: Fang-Ta Tai, Chen-Hsiang Lin, Teng-Feng Zou

Patent number: 8050061Abstract: A control circuit for a switching power supply (SPS) includes power input and output interfaces, a relay, a relay driving circuit, a microprocessor, and an alternating current/directing current (AC/DC) converter. The power input interface receives an external alternating current (AC) power signal, and transmits the AC power signal to the SPS via the power output interface. The AC/DC converter transforms the AC power signal into a direct current (DC) power signal to supply for the relay, the relay driving circuit, and the microprocessor. When a computer is turned on, the microprocessor sends a first control signal to control the relay driving circuit to drive the relay to connect the power input and output interfaces. When the computer is turned off, the microprocessor sends a second control signal to control the relay driving circuit to drive the relay to cut off connection between the power input and output interfaces.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2009Date of Patent: November 1, 2011Assignee: Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., Ltd.Inventors: Fang-Ta Tai, Chen-Hsiang Lin, Teng-Feng Zou, Jui-Ting Hung, Yi-Bin Hwang, Li-Chung Sun
