Patent number: 11133691Abstract: A power feed unit that includes multiple first terminal sections, a second terminal section, and a switch is disclosed. Each first terminal section includes a first power supply terminal directed to receive electric power from a battery, and a first communication terminal directed to perform a communication with the battery. The second terminal section includes a second power supply terminal directed to supply electric power to an electronic apparatus, and a second communication terminal directed to perform a communication with the electronic apparatus. The switch electrically couples one of the first communication terminals with the second communication terminal.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2018Date of Patent: September 28, 2021Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Nobutaka Saitoh, Yukio Tsuchiya, Toshiya Nakabayashi

Patent number: 7372684Abstract: A power supply device has a pulse width control circuit for controlling voltage converting operation of a voltage converting circuit by changing a pulse width. A momentary interruption detecting circuit detects a change in an output voltage when the output voltage suffers a momentary interruption over a short period of time. A full short-circuit detecting circuit detects a change in the output voltage when the output voltage suffers a short circuit over a very short period of time. A short-circuit control circuit stops a pulse width changing control process of the pulse width control circuit a predetermined period of time after the momentary interruption detecting circuit has detected that the output voltage suffers a momentary interruption, and stops the pulse width changing control process of the pulse width control circuit immediately when the full short-circuit detecting circuit detects that the output voltage suffers a short circuit.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2005Date of Patent: May 13, 2008Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Tokio Kobayashi, Toshiya Nakabayashi
