  • Patent number: 8132028
    Abstract: A motherboard and a power supply module thereof are disclosed. The power supply module provided by the invention can be directly fixed on a motherboard supporting an AM2 CPU and an AM2+ CPU. The power supply module provided by the invention utilizes a switching unit to switch between a group of pulse width modulation (PWM) signals for generating core voltages needed by an AM2 CPU and another PWM signal for generating a core voltage needed by an AM2+ CPU according to a version signal provided by the CPU of the motherboard. Therefore, no matter a CPU socket of the motherboard receives the AM2 CPU or the AM2+ CPU, the power supply module of the invention can obtain the maximum usage efficiency thereof, and the manufacture cost of motherboard with the power supply module decreases.

  • Publication number: 20070007824
    Abstract: A DC uninterruptible power supply (DC UPS) is configured in a computer device that includes a power supply connected to an AC power source and a motherboard. The DC UPS is electrically connected between the power supply and the motherboard. Thus, when the power provided by the power supply is abnormal, the DC UPS can provide a set of DC powers to the motherboard and associated devices in the computer device.
