Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A power supply module coupled with a primary winding of a power conversion module, the power supply module includes a plurality of power-controlling modules, a plurality of second switches, and a microprocessor. Each power-controlling module includes an auxiliary winding and a first switch electrically connected in series, and each auxiliary winding is magnetic coupled with the primary winding. Each second switch is electrically connected to one of the power-controlling units. The microprocessor is electrically connected to the first switches of the power-controlling modules and the second switches. The microprocessor places at least one first switch and one of the second switches in a conducting state to make the first switch in the conducting state and the second switch in the conducting state electrically connect in series and output an electric power to power the power conversion module.

First claim

What is claimed is: 1. A power supply module coupled with a primary winding of a power conversion module, the power supply module comprising: a plurality of power-controlling modules, each power-controlling module comprising an auxiliary winding and a first switch electrically connected in series, wherein each auxiliary winding is magnetic coupled with the primary winding; and a plurality of second switches, each second switch electrically connected to one of the power-controlling units; and a microprocessor electrically connected to the first switches of the power-controlling modules and the second switches, wherein the microprocessor places at least one first switch and one of the second switches in a conducting state to make the first switch in the conducting state and the second switch in the conducting state electrically connect in series and output an electric power to power the power conversion module. 2. The power supply module of claim 1 , wherein the microprocessor places the first switches in the conducting state, and the second switches in the conducting state, and the auxiliary windings connected to the first switches in the conducting state are electrically connected in series. 3. The power supply module of claim 1 , wherein a potential level of the electric power provided by the power supply module and an amount of the first switches in the conducting state are in direct proportion. 4. The power supply module of claim 1 , wherein when a turn number of the primary winding is Np, a voltage of the primary winding is Vp, turn numbers of the auxiliary windings are N Wa _ 1 ˜N Wa _ n , the signal provided from the microprocessor to the second switches are A 1 ˜An, and the output voltages of the power supply module are Vcc_ 1 ˜Vcc_n, the following conditions is satisfied: [ Vcc_ ⁢ 1 Vcc_ ⁢ 2 Vcc_ ⁢ 3 ⋮ Vcc_n ] = V ⁢ ⁢ p N ⁢ ⁢ p ⁡ [ A ⁢ ⁢ 1 ⁢ ⁢ A ⁢ ⁢ 2 ⁢ ⁢ A ⁢ ⁢ 3 ⁢ ⁢ … ⁢ ⁢ An ] ⁡ [ N Wa ⁢ ⁢ _ ⁢ ⁢ 1 N Wa ⁢ ⁢ _ ⁢ ⁢ 1 + N Wa ⁢ ⁢ _ ⁢ ⁢ 2 N Wa ⁢ ⁢ _ ⁢ ⁢ 1 + N Wa
