APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING IN-RUSH CURRENT AND AN OPERATION METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17966075 titled 'APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING IN-RUSH CURRENT AND AN OPERATION METHOD THEREOF
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a power circuit that includes regulators and in-rush current controllers. The regulators adjust the input voltage to generate internal power voltages, while the in-rush current controllers provide the input voltage to the regulators.
- The regulators in the power circuit adjust the input voltage to generate multiple internal power voltages.
- The in-rush current controllers provide the input voltage to the regulators, which corresponds to an increasement voltage.
- The increasement voltage rises at a preset rate until all the internal power voltages reach a target level.
Potential Applications
- Power circuits in electronic devices and appliances.
- Power management systems in industrial equipment.
- Power supply units in telecommunications infrastructure.
Problems Solved
- In-rush current controllers help prevent excessive current flow during power-up, protecting the circuit and components.
- Regulators ensure stable and adjustable internal power voltages for various applications.
- The preset rate of increasement voltage helps control the power-up process and avoid voltage spikes.
Benefits
- Improved circuit protection and reliability.
- Efficient power management and voltage regulation.
- Enhanced control over the power-up process.
- Suitable for a wide range of electronic devices and industrial equipment.
Original Abstract Submitted
A power circuit includes a plurality of regulators and a plurality of in-rush current controllers. The plurality of regulators is coupled to an external power voltage and configured to adjust a level of an input voltage to generate a plurality of internal power voltages. The plurality of in-rush current controllers is configured to provide the input voltage to the plurality of regulators, the input voltage corresponding to an increasement voltage. The increasement voltage has a level rising at a preset rate until the plurality of internal power voltages all reach a target level.
