An active protection circuit for a MOSFET isolated switched power supply system operates to control the switching of the MOSFET isolation switches. A monitoring circuit operates to sense and turn off the isolation switch of the currently active power supply if it senses reverse current flowing through the switch. Simultaneously, a controller receives indication that the active power supply is out of specification, and actively switches the system voltage source to the other power supply. The controller actively ensures that the isolation switch of the out-of-specification power supply remains off until it determines otherwise.

A power system has a first power supply operatively connect in parallel to a second power supply. The output of the first power supply is connected to the input of a switching device, such as a mosfet. The output of the switching device is the output of the power system. A measuring device, such as a differential amplifier measures the polarity between the input and output of the switching device. A controller connected to the switching device permits the switching device to conduct current if a first polarity is present between the input and the output. The controller interrupts current flow if a second polarity is present between the input and the output.

A DC-DC voltage converter comprises a controller, two switches, a transformer and two rectifying diodes. The transformer has a first winding, a second winding and a center tap. Input voltage in connected between the center tap and ground. An anode of each diode is connected to the outer ends of the two windings and the cathodes of the two diodes are connected together to provide a positive output with respect to ground. Each switch is connected between an outer end of one windings and ground. The controller generates control signals to turn the switches on and off for limited periods of time in phase opposition to alternately connect the outer ends of the first and second winding to ground to cause current to flow alternatively in one of the windings and induce a voltage in the other winding that is additive to the input voltage, thereby providing an output voltage greater than the input voltage. The converter provides stable operation with good voltage regulation over a wide range of load conditions without the use of feedback.

A dual power source system includes a first power source and a second power source operably coupled with an electrical device, as well as a switching mechanism capable of selecting between the first and second power sources. An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is place in line with one of the first and second power sources leading to the electrical device. Sense circuitry is capable of identifying a power failure condition in either the first or second power sources. A controller utilizes signals from the sense circuitry to selectively switch between the first and second power sources while configuring the UPS in a manner of providing for a plurality of operational states that accommodate the electrical device with operational power despite any combination of power failures in the first and second power sources.

Techniques are provided for simultaneously addressing multiple devices on a data bus, such as by transmitting over a data bus a single message that is received and processed by multiple devices on the bus. Multiple devices may be simultaneously addressed using the standard bus architecture and protocol, without affecting the operation of other devices on the bus. In particular, a master device may address a first subset of the plurality of devices on the bus using a primary address shared by the first subset of the plurality of devices. The master device may address a second subset of the plurality of devices using a secondary address shared by the second subset of the plurality of devices. The second subset is a subset of the first subset. The master device may then transmit information over the bus to the second subset of the plurality of devices.
