摘要： A series power supply circuit and a switching power supply circuit are combined within a single power supply unit. The switching power supply circuit provides an efficiency lower than that of the series power supply circuit under a light load and provides an efficiency higher than that of the series power supply circuit under a heavy load. A standby signal that is asserted under a light load and is deasserted under a heavy load is input to a negative logic enable terminal (−EN) of the series power supply circuit through an inverter0. The standbysignal is directly input to the negative logic enable terminal (−EN) of a PWM controller in the switching power supply circuit.

摘要： An electrical apparatus including an AC adapter 51; a battery 52 that repeats charging and discharging to power the apparatus; an AC/DC enable circuit 61 that switches between stop and start of power source from the AC adapter 51 to the body; a charger utilization circuit 62 that charges an output capacitor (Cout) of a charger 60 while the power source from the AC adapter 51 stops; and a battery detection circuit 63 that detects disconnection of the battery 52. If the battery 52 is disconnected from the body and the battery detection circuit 63 detects the disconnection while the power source from the AC adapter 51 stops and the body is powered by the battery 52, the AC/DC enable circuit 61 starts power source to the body while the body is powered by the output capacitor (Cout).

摘要： A main battery used as an electric power unit for a computer is provided with a memory that stores capacity information denoting the total capacity of a battery and compensation information representing the total capacity of the battery as a function of a battery charging cycle count. A CPU detects a cycle count of the battery according to an integrated charged capacity of the battery, thereby obtaining the total capacity with respect to this cycle count from the compensation information so as to compensate the capacity information according to the obtained total capacity.

摘要： To obtain a method for controlling power of a computer, a power control apparatus, and the computer which can prevent a user from feeling uneasy unnecessarily and inhibit a power-on problem from arising again. When the power switch is depressed, the power-on self test (POST) starts and if there is no error detected by that test in connection with the initialization of the IC, the operating system OS is loaded to make the computer operative (steps 200 through 208). If there is any error detected, a determination is made whether that error occurs as frequently as or more frequently than a predetermined number of times. If that error occurs as frequently as or more frequently than the predetermined number of times, an error indication is displayed and then the process ends. If that error occurs less frequently than the predetermined number of times, the error history is stored and then a setup for stabling the hardware operation is selected. Then, a restart signal to restart the computer is sent and the process ends (steps 210 through 220).

摘要： The present invention relates to a power supply system, in particular, to a power supply apparatus and a power supply method that each use a high impedance battery used for electric equipment such as a notebook PC (notebook type personal computer). Usually, electric power is supplied from a lithium polymer battery to a main body, and insufficient electric power is supplied from a main battery such as a lithium ion battery when a current over a certain amount is necessary. That is, there are included a lithium ion battery to supply electric power, a lithium polymer battery to output electric power in voltage higher than that of this lithium ion battery, and a current limiting circuit to supply electric power by this lithium polymer battery until load power reaches a predetermined amount and to limit an output from the lithium polymer battery when the load power exceeds the predetermined amount, in which electric power is supplied by the lithium ion battery and lithium polymer battery after current limitation.
