POWER SUPPLY APPARATUS CAPABLE OF SWITCHING OUTPUT RESISTANCE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240195308 titled 'POWER SUPPLY APPARATUS CAPABLE OF SWITCHING OUTPUT RESISTANCE

The resistance switching circuit described in the patent application includes a resistor that can switch between two states: one where the resistor forms part of the output resistance and one where it does not.

  • The circuit is controlled by a control circuit that responds to the polarity of the DC voltage applied to the load from different power supplies.
  • When a DC voltage with a first polarity is applied, the resistor does not form part of the output resistance.
  • When a DC voltage with a second polarity is applied, the resistor forms part of the output resistance.

Potential Applications:

  • Power supply systems
  • Electronic devices with variable output resistance requirements
  • Circuitry where the output resistance needs to be dynamically controlled

Problems Solved:

  • Providing a circuit that can dynamically switch between different output resistance configurations based on the applied voltage polarity
  • Simplifying the design of systems that require variable output resistance

Benefits:

  • Improved efficiency in power supply systems
  • Enhanced control over output resistance in electronic devices
  • Flexibility in circuit design for various applications

Commercial Applications:

  • Power supply units for industrial equipment
  • Consumer electronics with variable resistance needs
  • Automation systems requiring dynamic resistance control

Prior Art: Prior art related to this technology may include patents or research papers on resistance switching circuits, variable output resistance circuits, and voltage-controlled resistor configurations.

Frequently Updated Research: Researchers may be exploring new materials and technologies to enhance the performance and efficiency of resistance switching circuits. Stay updated on advancements in the field for potential improvements in this technology.

Original Abstract Submitted

a resistance switching circuit includes a resistor forming an output resistance of a first power supply. the resistance switching circuit switches between a state in which the resistor forms part of an output resistance and a state in which the resistor does not form part of the output resistance. a control circuit is configured to in a case where a dc voltage with a first polarity is applied to a load from a first power supply, control the resistance switching circuit such that the resistor does not form part of the output resistance, and in a case where a dc voltage with a second polarity is applied to the load from a second power supply, control the resistance switching circuit such that the resistor forms part of the output resistance.
