  • System for providing backup power to an electronic device
    Publication number: 20040178681
    Abstract: A system for providing backup power to essential system elements in the event of a power failure. According to this embodiment, a failure detection circuit and capacitance storage are connected to the power inputs of essential system circuit boards, in line with the standard direct-current (DC) power source. The DC source maintains the charge of the capacitance storage, and when a failure is detected, the capacitors discharge to maintain stable DC power input to the system circuit boards. In the preferred embodiment, at least 30 seconds of backup power is available when needed.
