  • Publication number: 20130154376
    Abstract: An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) includes a rectifier, a converter, a first auxiliary power source, and a power distribution unit (PDU). The rectifier receives an alternating current (AC) voltage from an AC power source and converts this to a rectified direct current (DC) voltage which is outputted to the converter. The converter converts the rectified DC voltage to a working voltage and outputs the working voltage to a power supply unit (PSU) through the PDU. The first auxiliary power source outputs a DC voltage to the PSU through the PDU when the AC power source is down.

  • Publication number: 20130147270
    Abstract: A power supply device for a computing device includes a voltage converter unit and an energy storage unit. The voltage converter unit converts an alternating current (AC) voltage of an external AC power supply to a direct current (DC) voltage and outputs the DC voltage to the computing device. The energy storage unit receives the DC voltage output by the voltage converter unit to charge a rechargeable battery of the energy storage unit as long as the AC voltage of the external AC power supply is higher than a predetermined threshold voltage, and outputs a DC voltage from the rechargeable battery to the computing device if the external AC power supply falls below the threshold voltage.

  • Publication number: 20130145182
    Abstract: A power supply device for a server system includes a main power supply, a control microchip, a first switch, a trigger, a second switch, and an auxiliary power supply. When a voltage of the main power supply is within a predetermined range, the control microchip keeps the first switch turned off and the trigger keeps the second switch turned on, so that a voltage of the auxiliary power supply is transmitted to the server system via the second switch. When the main power supply is outside the predetermined range, the control microchip turns on the first switch and the trigger turns off the second switch, so that the voltage of the auxiliary power supply is transmitted to ground.
