<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a power management topology so that one power transducer can provide a controllable DC power output to a system load and a battery. <P>SOLUTION: A power supply topology has a first path configured to be coupled to a controllable DC power source, a second path configured to be coupled to a battery, and a third path configured to be coupled to a system load. The first, second and third paths are coupled to a common node. The topology also has a first switch coupled to the first path to allow selective coupling of the controllable DC power source to the system load via the common node, and a second switch coupled to the second path to allow a selective coupling of the battery to the common node. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO&NCIPI |
