Abstract

A charger with a wide range output voltage includes a voltage output side, a first constant voltage output unit, a voltage modulation unit and a load voltage detection unit. The first constant voltage output unit generates a first constant voltage. The load voltage detection unit detects a load voltage and transmits the load voltage to the voltage modulation unit. According to the load voltage and a load charging voltage requirement, the voltage modulation unit generates a modulation voltage and transmits the modulation voltage to the first constant voltage output unit. The first constant voltage output unit transmits the first constant voltage and the modulation voltage to the voltage output side. Moreover, the modulation voltage is an n times of a second constant voltage. The n is a positive number.
