  • Publication number: 20180301926
    Abstract: A tunable power supply device with an input node and an output node includes a voltage control module, a first diode, and a voltage divider circuit. The voltage control module converts an input voltage at the input node into a median voltage at a first node. The median voltage is determined according to a feedback voltage. The first diode has an anode coupled to the first node, and a cathode coupled to the output node for outputting an output voltage. The voltage divider circuit generates the feedback voltage according to the output voltage.

  • Patent number: 9476778
    Abstract: A rechargeable battery temperature detection method adapted to an electronic system includes detecting a status of a processor of the electronic system when an external power is input to a power conversion module of the electronic system; determining whether a thermistor of the electronic system is conducted to a fuel gauge or a charge control circuit according to the state of the processor such that the fuel gauge or the charge control circuit determine a temperature sensing result via the thermistor. The thermistor is disposed adjacent to a rechargeable battery and has a resistance which varies with a temperature of the rechargeable battery. The temperature sensing result is related to the resistance.
