  • Publication number: 20240022168
    Abstract: A controller of a power conversion circuit generates PWM signals to control output stage circuits to provide an output voltage and a load current to an output terminal. The controller includes a sensing circuit, a comparison circuit, a PWM generation circuit and a control loop. The sensing circuit generates a current sensing signal related to load current. The comparison circuit compares the current sensing signal and a default value representing a current threshold to generate a comparison result. The control loop, coupled to the output terminal, the PWM generation circuit and the comparison circuit, generates a trigger signal according to a reference voltage and the output voltage to control the PWM generation circuit to generate PWM signals. When the comparison result indicates that the load current exceeds current threshold, the control loop temporarily stops providing trigger signal to PWM generation circuit to delay the generation of PWM signals.

  • Publication number: 20180335817
    Abstract: The invention provides an external power supply module. The external power supply module comprises at least one capacitor module. A power supply unit provides a power energy to the capacitor module. The external power supply module outputs an output energy to a data storage device. When the power supply unit provides the power energy, the external power supply module will generate the output energy based on the power energy. When the power supply unit interrupts to provide the power energy, the external power supply module will generate the output energy based on a standby power provided by the capacitor module. Thus, a user can reconfigure a new external power supply module between the power supply unit and the data storage device when the capacitor module of the original external power supply module has aged, so as to finish the aged replacement of the capacitor module.
