  • Publication number: 20250219530
    Abstract: A multi-input power system receives at least two input power sources, and includes at least two filter and rectification circuits, at least two boost PFC circuits, a DC-to-DC conversion circuit, and a control circuit. The filter and rectification circuits correspondingly receive the input power sources, and convert the input power sources into rectified voltages. The boost PFC circuits correspondingly receive the rectified voltages and perform a power factor correction on the rectified voltages to provide a conversion voltage. The DC-to-DC conversion circuit converts the conversion voltage into an output voltage. The control circuit receives power information corresponding to the input power sources and determines power supply status of the input power sources according to the power information to generate control signals. The control signals are provided to correspondingly control the boost PFC circuits to control the magnitude of the conversion voltage.

  • Publication number: 20250219523
    Abstract: A power converter receives an input voltage. The power converter includes a boost power factor correction (PFC) circuit, a DC-to-DC conversion circuit, a bypass switch, and a comparison circuit. The comparison circuit receives the input voltage and a voltage threshold, and compares the input voltage with the voltage threshold to generate a first control signal and a second control signal. When the input voltage is greater than or equal to the voltage threshold, the first control signal turns on the bypass switch and the second control signal disables the boost PFC circuit so that the input voltage is provided to the DC-to-DC conversion circuit and is converted into an output voltage by the DC-to-DC conversion circuit.
