  • Patent number: 8823348
    Abstract: A buck converter configured for converting a voltage output from a power supply to a load includes a first switch, a second switch, an inductor, three compensators and a control microchip. The first switch and the second switch are connected in series between two ends of the power supply. A first end of the inductor is connected to a node between the first switch and the second switch; a second end of the inductor serves as an output terminal connected to the load. The compensators are correspondingly connected to the first switch, the second switch and the inductor. The control microchip is electrically connected to the first and second switches and the node. The control microchip controls the first and second switches to turn on or off, and executes a current protective process when output current of the output terminal exceeds a current protective threshold of the load.

  • Patent number: 8446053
    Abstract: A computer system includes a power supply, a number of first power interfaces, a second power interface, and a voltage regulating module. The power supply includes a number of direct current (DC) voltage output terminals, to output a number of DC voltages to a motherboard of the computer system. The first power interfaces are connected to the DC voltage output terminals of the power supply, to output the DC voltages to first peripheral devices. The voltage regulating module includes an input terminal and an output terminal. The input terminal is connected to one of the DC voltage output terminals of the power supply, to receive the DC voltage from the connected DC voltage output terminal. The output terminal is connected to the second power interface, to output a regulated second voltage to a second peripheral device through the second power interface.

  • Patent number: 8248035
    Abstract: A voltage converting apparatus includes a sense resistor to sense a voltage from an adapter, some power switches to set power rating of the adapter, and a comparator to compare a received voltage from the adapter with a voltage corresponding to the power rating. The comparator controls a first control switch connected between the sense resistor and a charging circuit to close when the adapter is at a little traffic state, and controls the first control switch to open when the adapter is at a fully loaded state. A voltage converter converts the received voltage from the adapter when the first control switch is closed. An output interface provides a voltage of the adapter to an electronic device. Some output ports connected to the voltage converter to provide a converted voltage of the voltage converter to electronic devices connected to the output ports.
