Abstract: A power management integrated circuit (PMIC) chip provides power loss protection to an application device. The PMIC chip has several storage pins that each receives a set of storage capacitors that are charged using power from a power source during normal operation. An application device receives power from the power source during normal operation and receives power from an operational set of storage capacitors during power loss. A failing set of storage capacitors is disconnected from an operational set of storage capacitors and from the PMIC chip. The operational set of storage capacitors remains connected to the PMIC chip to provide power loss protection.

Abstract: A power supply covering both power sharing and power backup functions run in a more efficient and flexible way. The power supply adopts a power sharing converter coupled between a first bus terminal and a second bus terminal, so that if one of the bus terminals provides insufficient power, the other bus terminal kicks in by way of the power sharing converter to provide power support. In addition, a storage capacitor may also kick in to provide power support if one of the bus terminals provide insufficient power via or not via the power sharing converter.

Abstract: A power supply covering power sharing and overshoot preventing functions. In the power supply, a first eFuse is used to deliver a first input power source to a first load at a first bus terminal, and a second eFuse is used to deliver a second input power source to a second load at a second bus terminal. When the current flowing through one eFuse hits its current limit threshold, the other input power source kicks in to provide power support. The current limit threshold of each eFuse is set to be lower than its maximum rated current.

During the operation of the switching mode power supply, in one hand, the current flowing through a high-side switch is sensed and compared to a current reference signal to control the turning off of the high-side switch; in the other hand, the output voltage is sensed and compared to a voltage reference signal to control the turning on of the high-side switch. In addition, the current reference signal may be adjusted to a lower value when the switching mode power supply enters light load condition. By using the above control method, the system performance is highly increased.
