Abstract: A multi-input single-output circuit can include: a first circuit module configured to receive a first input voltage source, and including a first power switch; a second circuit module configured to receive a second input voltage source, and including a switching power converter, where the switching power converter comprises a second power switch; and a control circuit configured to control one of the first and second circuit modules to supply power for a load, or to stop supplying power for the load, according to states of the first and second input voltage sources and control parameters of the circuit module that is in operation.

Abstract: A capacitor management circuit for a power management circuit, where the power management circuit includes a bidirectional converter having first and second ports, the capacitor management circuit includes a plurality of capacitor modules, and where each capacitor module includes: a switch and a capacitor coupled in series between two terminals of the second port; and a control circuit configured to detect state information of the corresponding capacitor, and to control operation state of the switch, in order to realize independent control of each capacitor.
