  • Patent number: 8132032
    Abstract: A power-saving electronic device for use with a computer motherboard in a “suspend to memory” state is disclosed. The power-saving electronic device enables compulsory interruption of power supply to a south bridge chip and a super input output (SIO) chip of the computer motherboard in the “suspend to memory” state, such as an S3 state of Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI), so as to save power. After a user presses a power switch, the power-saving electronic device enables the south bridge chip and SIO chip to be powered on by a standby power supplied thereto and enables the computer motherboard to remain capable of awakening and resuming from the S3 state.

  • Publication number: 20100332870
    Abstract: An electronic device for reducing power consumption of a computer motherboard is disclosed. The electronic device enables the computer motherboard to compel interruption of power supply to a south bridge chip and a super input output (SIO) chip of the computer motherboard so as to save power while the computer motherboard is waiting for receipt of a Wake-on-LAN packet. A network chip of the computer motherboard sends a signal to the power-saving electronic device as soon as a Wake-on-LAN event occurs, such that a standby power is electrically connected to the south bridge chip and the SIO chip by the electronic device. The computer motherboard equipped with the electronic device is capable of executing Wake-on-LAN function while compelling interruption of power supply to the south bridge chip and the SIO chip in a power-saving state.
