Patent number: 11990761Abstract: A power supply system with current sharing includes a current sharing bus, a plurality of power supply units, and a plurality of controllers. The power supply units are connected to each other through the current sharing bus. Each power supply unit provides a current sharing signal value to the current sharing bus, and provides an output current to a load. Each controller receives current sharing signal values provided from other power supply units and current signal values corresponding to the output currents. When determining that the current signal value is less than a reference current sharing signal value, the controller increases an output voltage of the power supply unit to increase the output current. Otherwise, the controller decreases the output voltage to decrease the output current so that so that the output currents of the power supply units are shared to supply power to the load.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2022Date of Patent: May 21, 2024Assignee: FSP TECHNOLOGY INC.Inventors: Chien-Li Tsai, Chih-Fan Lin, Chih-Hsien Hsieh

Publication number: 20140152293Abstract: The present invention discloses a sensing circuit including a sensing device, a first amplifier circuit, a high-pass filter, a second amplifier circuit and a determination circuit. The sensing device produces a sensing signal. The first amplifier circuit reduces high-frequency components of the sensing signal and amplifies low-frequency components of the sensing signal to produce a first amplified signal. The high-pass filter removes the direct current of the first amplified signal to produce a filtered signal. The second amplifier amplifies low-frequency components of the filtered signal according to a first predetermined voltage to produce a second amplified signal. The determination circuit determines whether the second amplified signal is higher than a second predetermined voltage and lower than a third predetermined voltage, and produces a detection result when the second amplified signal is higher than the second predetermined voltage or lower than the third predetermined voltage.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 13, 2013Publication date: June 5, 2014Applicant: CORETEX TECHNOLOGY CORPORATIONInventors: Chin-I HSIEH, Chien-Hsien TSAI
