Publication number: 20210288572Abstract: A low-power-consumption protection circuit includes a load detection module, a secondary feedback control module, and a primary control module. The load detection module is coupled to a current detection unit. The secondary feedback control module is coupled to the load detection module and an isolation unit. The primary control module is coupled to the isolation unit and an isolation switch. When the load detection module detects that the current detection unit outputs a voltage level, the secondary feedback control module transmits a protection signal to the primary control module through the isolation unit.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 28, 2020Publication date: September 16, 2021Inventors: Fu-Sung Chen, Chi-Chun Chen

Patent number: 8063512Abstract: A power-saving power supply apparatus with battery module converts an inputted AC power into an outputted DC power and includes: a Triac switch electrically connected to the inputted AC power; a Triac driver electrically connected to the Triac switch; a power microprocessor electrically connected to the Triac driver; and a battery module electrically connected to the power microprocessor. When the apparatus is idle or in low workload, the power microprocessor sends a switch signal to the Triac driver to turn off the Triac switch and thus shut off the inputted AC power. Thus, the apparatus is standby with relatively low consumption of electricity. At this time, the battery module provides power to the power microprocessor.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2009Date of Patent: November 22, 2011Assignee: Chicony Power Technology Co., Ltd.Inventors: Fu-Sung Chen, Yang Wang, Sen-Chi Lin
