Stromversorgungssystem mit einer auf Spannung ansprechenden Schaltungsanordnung.

摘要

This invention relates to a power system which connects/disconnects battery (12) from a load (10) such as a computer system, and includes a first circuit arrangement (15) which sets a first reference voltage level at which the energy source is connected through an FET device to the computer system, a second circuit arrangement (15) that sets a second voltage level at which the energy source is disconnected by the FET device from the computer system and a third circuit arrangement (15) which controls the FET device so that said FET device is forced into either its ON or OFF state once one of the reference voltages is reached. A circuit (30) reduces power dissipation in a battery charge circuit (28) by forcing the input voltage to track the battery voltage as the battery charges/discharges.
