  • Publication number: 20170229954
    Abstract: A power supply apparatus includes a switch, a converting module and a control module. When the switch operates in an ON state, an input voltage is outputted through the switch to serve as an output voltage. The converting module selectively converts the input voltage into the output voltage. When the power supply apparatus operates in a mode where the switch operates in an OFF state, where the converting module performs the conversion, and where the output voltage is stabilized at a target voltage value, and when a condition associated with the input voltage is met, the control module causes the output voltage to gradually change toward the input voltage.

  • Patent number: 9030794
    Abstract: An electronic fuse apparatus is connected between a power side and a system side. The electronic fuse apparatus mainly includes an electronic fuse, a short-circuit protection switch, a current-sensing module, and a digital control module. The current-sensing module detects an operating current which flows from the power side to the system side. The digital control module generates a control signal to control the electronic fuse. When the current-sensing module detects that the operating current is over-current, the digital control module generates the high-level control signal to turn off the electronic fuse, thus providing an over-current protection. When a short-circuit fault occurs at the system side, the short-circuit protection switch is turned on to turn off the electronic fuse, thus providing a short-circuit protection.

  • Patent number: 8299773
    Abstract: A power supply comprises an input voltage detector that detects a drop in input voltage that corresponds to an input voltage loss. A power converter is coupled to the input voltage detector. The power converter, which may be a boost converter or a power factor correction converter, has a switching device that is actuated in accordance with a duty cycle. A duty cycle adjuster is responsive to detection of the drop in the input voltage to adjust the duty cycle of the switching device in order to limit an input current surge through the switching device below a desired level after the input voltage returns.

  • Publication number: 20100177606
    Abstract: A method for identifying a layer number of an optical disc is provided. Firstly, a SA value is adjusted to a standard SA value of each of two data layers in sequence. Next, focusing courses are performed so as to enable the focus point to pass through the optical disc. Then, maximum amplitudes of focusing error signals in the focusing courses are recorded. After that, whether the maximum amplitudes of the focusing error signals recorded in the focusing courses are equal is checked. If the maximum amplitudes are equal, the optical disc is identified as a double-layered disc. If the maximum amplitudes are not equal, the optical disc is identified as a single-layered disc.
