CONFIGURABLE AC INPUT/DC INPUT POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17752608 titled 'CONFIGURABLE AC INPUT/DC INPUT POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a power supply system that can accept both AC and DC inputs.

  • The system includes a connector with separate sub-connectors for AC and DC input devices.
  • The AC power supply subsystem performs operations on AC power received from the AC input device sub-connector.
  • The DC power supply subsystem performs operations on DC power received from the DC input device sub-connector.
  • When an AC input device is connected, an AC-or-DC power supply subsystem performs operations on the AC power and supplies it to components.
  • When a DC input device is connected, the AC-or-DC power supply subsystem performs operations on the DC power and supplies it to components.


Original Abstract Submitted

A power supply system includes an AC input device/DC input device connector having an AC input device sub-connector and a DC input device sub-connector, an AC power supply subsystem configured to perform first power operation(s) on first power received from the AC input device sub-connector, and a DC power supply subsystem configured to perform second power operation(s) on second power received from the DC input device sub-connector. When an AC input device is coupled to the AC input device sub-connector, an AC-or-DC power supply subsystem in the power supply system performs third power operation(s) on the first power received from the AC power supply subsystem, and supplies it to component(s). When the DC input device is coupled to the DC input device sub-connector, the AC-or-DC power supply subsystem performs the third power operation(s) on the second power received from the DC power supply subsystem, and supplies it to component(s).
