| 20120001599 | Power Supply Circuit Capable of Handling Direct Current and Alternating Current and Power Supply Control Method - According to one embodiment, a power supply circuit includes an input terminal, a rectifier circuit, a power factor improvement circuit, a DC/DC converter, and a control module. The DC/DC converter converts the level of a DC voltage output from the power factor improvement circuit. The control module determines on the basis of the output voltage of the rectifier circuit whether an input power supply supplied to the input terminal is AC or DC. The control module generates a DC power supply by use of the power factor improvement circuit and DC/DC converter when the input power supply is AC and generates a DC power supply by controlling the operation of the power factor improvement circuit and DC/DC converter according to the voltage of input DC power supply when the input power supply is DC. | 01-05-2012 |
