Application: Power supply device and image formation apparatus (Patent ID: US20240162821A1)
The patent filed by Oki Electric Industry Co Ltd describes a power supply device that includes a voltage generator, a voltage step-down part, a bypass part, and a controller. The device operates in a normal mode where the voltage generator generates a first voltage and the voltage step-down part decreases it to a second voltage. In a power-saving mode, the voltage generator directly generates the second voltage, bypassing the step-down part. The bypass part includes a switch that can be controlled by the controller to enable or disable the bypass function based on the operation mode.
Additionally, the patent includes claims related to the specific components and operations of the power supply device. These claims detail the use of a semiconductor switch, such as a FET or transistor, in the bypass part, as well as the controller's ability to switch the bypass on/off using a sleep signal. The claims also specify that the voltage step-down part's operation is dependent on the voltage output from the generator, ensuring efficient power management. Furthermore, the patent extends to an image formation apparatus incorporating the described power supply device, emphasizing its potential application in various electronic devices.
