摘要:
A power supply system includes a rechargeable battery to deliver a supply current to a load and a circuit to limit a discharge current when the rechargeable battery is supplying power to the load. The power supply system may further include an integrator for integrating a discharge voltage representing the discharge current that exceeds a predetermined limit, a pulse-width-modulation (PWM) circuit for producing a control signal having a PWM duty cycle representing the discharge voltage, and a driver circuit for delivering the supply current to said load according to said control signal. In one embodiment, a digital register is used to set the battery discharging current limit, in another embodiment an analog circuit is used to set the battery discharging current limit, and in yet another embodiment or a combination of the digital register and analog circuit is used to set the battery discharging current limit.

A power supply system and method for operating same. The power supply system is connectable to receive power from an adapter and supply power to a load. The power supply system includes a rechargeable battery, a buck mode circuit, and a boost mode circuit. A switching circuit switches between the buck mode circuit and boost mode circuit for supplying power to the load. If the power required by the load reaches a first predetermined level related to an adapter overload condition for a first predetermined time, the switching circuit disconnects said buck mode circuit from the load and connects the rechargeable battery and the boost mode circuit to said load. The first predetermined level may be established by a first predetermined percent of the current of a dynamic power management level established by the load, which is related to a power level below that which can be provided by the adapter.

A feedback-controlled battery charger circuit (500) provides, alternatively, constant current and constant voltage to a battery (328) being charged. Current and voltage at the charger output (326) are sensed in sensing elements (308) and compared to preset reference values from reference generators for current (330) and voltage (332), thus generating error signals for both current and voltage. These error signals are amplified in separate amplifiers (530, 534); then, depending on battery voltage, one of the amplified error signals is automatically selected by a signal selector (540). The selected error signal is applied to a single compensation amplifier (554) with reactive feedback loop (552, 556); the output of the compensation amplifier with feedback (504) then controls the output current or voltage of the output stage (306). This output stage is a voltage controlled current source. The output of this voltage controlled current source is connected through an output filter (318) and sensing elements (308) to the battery (328) being charged.
