  • Patent number: 10225935
    Abstract: A power conversion device includes an input conversion module, an output conversion module, a filtering module and a controlling module, which are installed on a main board. The main board includes a first edge, a second edge, a third edge and a fourth edge. The first edge and the second edge are opposed to each other. The third edge and the fourth edge are opposed to each other. A first part of the input conversion module is located near the first edge and the third edge. A second part of the input conversion module is near the first edge and the fourth edge. An airflow channel is formed between the first part and the second part. The output conversion module is near the second edge. The filtering module is near the second edge. The controlling module is arranged between the first part and the third edge.

  • Patent number: 10001824
    Abstract: A power system including power devices connected in parallel and an allocation bus is provided. Each power devices includes an allocation signal pin, a power unit and a control unit. The control unit controls a logic level of the allocation signal pin based on an operation status of the power unit. The AND logic operation performed on the logic level of the allocation signal pin of each of the power devices results in the logic level of the allocation bus. One of the power devices is set to a master mode through a first arbitration. The other power devices monitor the operation status of each other and a status of the allocation bus. Through a second arbitration, one of the power devices under a first operation status is set to a standby mode.

  • Patent number: 9966864
    Abstract: An electronic apparatus includes a converting circuit and a first control circuit. The converting circuit converts an input voltage to an output voltage. The first control circuit compares a feedback signal representing the output voltage with a target voltage to generate an error voltage. When the electronic apparatus is on a starting-up status and the error voltage is not greater than a threshold voltage, the first control circuit outputs a first driving signal to drive the converting circuit according to the error voltage. When the electronic apparatus is on a starting-up status and the error voltage is greater than the threshold voltage, the first control circuit stops outputting the first driving signal. A frequency of the first driving signal is determined according to the error voltage.

  • Patent number: 9952649
    Abstract: A power system including power devices connected in parallel and a wake-up bus is provided. Each power devices includes a wake-up signal pin, a power unit and a control unit. The control unit controls a logic level of the wake-up signal pin based on an operation status of the power unit. The AND logic operation performed on the logic level of the wake-up signal pin of each of the power devices results in the logic level of the wake-up bus. The control unit of each of the power devices monitors the logic level of the wake-up bus. When the logic level of the wake-up bus is at a second logic level, at least one power device under a standby mode is switched to an operation mode.
