  • Patent number: 9601989
    Abstract: The instant disclosure provides an intelligent pulse control circuit used for a power supply. The intelligent pulse control circuit comprises a control unit, a buffer unit, a comparing unit and a switch unit. The buffer receives a loading signal. The comparing unit is coupled to the buffer unit, receives the loading signal generated according to the current of the output loading, and compares the loading signal and the feedback signal to generate a control signal. The switch unit is controlled by the control signal of the comparing unit to provide a turn-off signal. When the output loading is light load, the switch unit controls the control unit to disable the PFC stage and the PWM stage according to the turn-off signal. Accordingly, the intelligent pulse control circuit can reduce the power consumption when the output loading is light load.

  • Patent number: 9071065
    Abstract: Disclosed is an electrical power supply apparatus, comprising a switch circuit, an output circuit, single-direction pass circuit and a control circuit. The output circuit is used for outputting a supply of main power source. The standby circuit is used for providing a supply of standby power source. The control circuit is for being capable of controlling the switch circuit according to a state of the external power source, wherein when the external power source is on, the switch circuit is in a cutoff state for allowing a first period or a second period of a power signal of the external power source transferred to the standby circuit through the single-direction pass circuit.

  • Patent number: 8089740
    Abstract: A clamp unit is adapted for controlling a clamp switch of a power supply such that the power supply outputs an output voltage in an ON mode when the clamp switch is in an ON-state and that the power supply does not output the output voltage in an OFF mode when the clamp switch is in an OFF-state. The clamp unit includes: a coupling circuit for outputting a coupling voltage in response to first and second reference voltages, and a control signal outputted by a control signal generating circuit in response to an input voltage; and a detecting circuit for outputting a clamp signal to the clamp switch in response to a first signal indicating whether the power is in the ON mode or the OFF mode, and a second signal indicating whether the power supply is to output the output voltage.
