  • Patent number: 9929635
    Abstract: A leakage current suppression circuit is adapted for use with an AC-to-DC power supply that includes a bridge rectifier converting an AC input voltage into a DC voltage and outputting the DC voltage through a first output terminal and a grounded second output terminal thereof, a DC-to-DC converter converting the DC voltage into a predetermined DC output voltage and outputting the DC output voltage through a first output end and a grounded second output end thereof, and a capacitor coupled to the second output terminal of the bridge rectifier at one terminal thereof. The leakage current suppression circuit includes a first impedance unit and a second impedance unit each coupled in parallel between the other terminal of the capacitor and ground.

  • Patent number: 9853535
    Abstract: An external power supply and a system connection detection unit applied thereto are provided. For providing DC power, the external power supply separably connects with a positive input terminal and a negative input terminal of a system through a positive output terminal and a negative output terminal respectively. When the positive output terminal and the negative output terminal are respectively connected to the positive input terminal and the negative input terminal, a system detection terminal connects with a system connection terminal of the system, and a connection status signal generated by the system connection detection unit switches the operation of the external power supply from a deep sleeping mode to a normal operation mode. The system connection terminal is electrically connected to one of the positive input terminal and the negative input terminal through at least a first resistive element.

  • Patent number: 8242712
    Abstract: A power supply apparatus includes an open loop power switcher, a power isolation transformer, a backlight driving circuit, and a power circuit. The open loop power switcher converts a direct current (DC) power into an alternating current (AC) input voltage. The power isolation transformer is coupled to the open loop power switcher and includes a primary-side winding, a first winding, and a second winding, wherein the first and second windings are disposed at the secondary-side of the power isolation transformer, and the first winding is employed for generating a first voltage signal according to the AC input voltage. The backlight driving circuit is employed for driving a backlight module according to the first voltage signal. The power circuit is employed for receiving a second voltage signal generated from the second winding according to the AC input voltage, in order to generate an output power signal.
