SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CONTROLLING OPERATION OF A POWER SUPPLY UNIT (PSU) DURING A LOW POWER STATE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240345641 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CONTROLLING OPERATION OF A POWER SUPPLY UNIT (PSU) DURING A LOW POWER STATE
- Simplified Explanation:**
The patent application describes systems and methods for controlling the operation of a power supply unit (PSU) during a low power state, such as modern standby (S0ix) state. It focuses on intelligent PSU relay control to ensure the PSU relay remains off during modern standby and returns to normal operation afterward.
- Key Features and Innovation:**
- Implementation of intelligent PSU relay control during low power states.
- Two operating modes: modern standby mode and normal mode.
- Ensuring the PSU relay remains off during modern standby and resumes normal operation afterward.
- Potential Applications:**
This technology can be applied in various electronic devices that require efficient power management during low power states, such as laptops, tablets, and other portable devices.
- Problems Solved:**
- Efficient control of PSU operation during low power states.
- Ensuring power consumption is minimized during standby modes.
- Preventing unnecessary power usage by the PSU relay.
- Benefits:**
- Improved power efficiency in electronic devices.
- Extended battery life in portable devices.
- Enhanced control over power management during low power states.
- Commercial Applications:**
Potential commercial applications include the integration of this technology in laptops, tablets, smartphones, and other electronic devices to optimize power consumption and enhance battery life.
- Questions about the Technology:**
1. How does intelligent PSU relay control benefit electronic devices during low power states? 2. What are the key differences between modern standby mode and normal mode of operation in terms of PSU relay control?
Original Abstract Submitted
systems and methods are provided that may be implemented to control operation of a power supply unit (psu) during a low power state. the disclosed systems and methods may be implemented to control operation of a psu relay included within the psu, while the information handling system is operating in a low power state, e.g., such as the modern standby (s0ix) state. the disclosed systems and methods may also be implemented to provide intelligent psu relay control that may be utilized to control operation of the psu relay when the information handling system is entering, operating within, and exiting the modern standby (s0ix) state. this intelligent psu relay control may include at least two operating modes: a modern standby mode and a normal mode of operation, and may be implemented to ensure that the psu relay remains off during modern standby and returns to normal relay operation upon exiting modern standby.
