Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The present invention discloses a power strip including a plurality of power sockets and at least one USB port. The power strip includes a high-voltage side circuit and a low-voltage side circuit. The high-voltage side circuit includes a power input terminal, a plurality of AC output terminals, and a first power circuit. The low-voltage side circuit includes a DC output terminal, a second power circuit, and a control unit. Each AC output terminal is coupled with the power input terminal and one of the power sockets and at least one AC output terminal powers the corresponding power socket according to a control signal. The second power circuit senses the first DC power before generating and transmitting a corresponding second DC power to the USB port through the DC output terminal. The control unit powered by the second DC power is configured to generate the control signal.
