  • Patent number: 8769313
    Abstract: The present invention provides a server including a plurality of power supplies independent from each other, a management backplane, a first embedded management board (first EMB) and a plurality of motherboards independent from each other. The power supplies are turned on or off according to a first control signal. The management backplane is coupled to the power supplies, the first EMB and the motherboards. The first EMB has a power-controlling unit and produces the first control signal and an acknowledgement signal according to the load status, the quantity of a plurality of turned on power supplies and a power-on demand command. The motherboards respectively send out the power-on demand command and decide whether or not to power on according to the acknowledgement signal, wherein when the first EMB works, a polling mode is used to sequentially switch the connections between the first EMB and the motherboards through the management backplane.

  • Patent number: 7795854
    Abstract: A voltage regulating circuit including an error signal generator, a comparator, a switch unit, a low-pass filter and a modulating unit is provided. The error signal generator respectively receives a reference voltage signal and a feedback signal, and generates an error signal. The comparator respectively receives the error signal and a comparing signal, and generates a pulse width modulation signal. The switch unit regulates an input voltage signal to generate an output voltage signal according the pulse width modulation signal. The low-pass filter filters out the high frequency of the output signal and produces the feedback signal. The modulating unit is coupled to the low-pass filter and the error signal generator for regulating a transient voltage of the output voltage signal.
