  • Patent number: 8456172
    Abstract: A measurement circuit includes a switch unit with a number of keys selectively pressed to output different resistance regulating signals. A resistance setting circuit receives the resistance regulating signals and connects different resistances to a voltage circuit and a current circuit. The voltage circuit outputs different voltages. The current voltage receives a voltage from the voltage circuit and outputs a current to a capacitor. A detecting circuit measures a temperature of the capacitor and outputs the temperature to the resistance setting circuit. The resistance setting circuit compares the received temperature with a preset temperature. If the received temperature is equal to or greater than the preset temperature, the resistance setting circuit outputs short-circuit information of the capacitor. If the received temperature is less than the preset temperature, the resistance setting circuit outputs normal information of the capacitor. A display unit displays the information of the capacitor.

  • Publication number: 20120311352
    Abstract: A power circuit which is applicable to a data storage device. A boost circuit receives a first voltage and converts it to a second voltage. A charging and discharging circuit receives the second voltage and charges a charging capacitor. As long as a voltage detecting circuit detects that the second voltage exists, it outputs a first selection signal. When the voltage detecting circuit detects that the second voltage does not exist, it outputs a second selection signal and also outputs a signal to the charging and discharging circuit, to release a stored voltage. A voltage selection circuit will output the second voltage according to the first selection signal, or will output the stored voltage from the charging capacitor according to the second selection signal. Buck circuits convert the second voltage or the stored voltage to the different voltages required by a control chip of the data storage device.
