A power supply device includes a power supply module, a voltage regulator module and an over-voltage protection (OVP) module. The power supply module is utilized to provide a standby voltage signal. The voltage regulator module includes a phase modulator circuit. The phase modulator circuit includes a high-side power transistor, a low-side power transistor and a phase inductor. The OVP module is utilized to transmit the standby voltage signal to the phase modulator circuit and detect a detection potential on the phase modulator circuit. The OVP module selectively conducts the low-side power transistor of the phase modulator circuit according to the detection potential.

Power supply device

A power supply system of an electronic device and a power supply method thereof are provided. Directly detecting the power voltage, when a power anomaly of the power voltage is detected, the electronic device may enter the energy-saving mode immediately for reducing power consumption, and a required DC voltage may be provided directly from the battery.

Power supply system of electronic device and power supply method thereof

A power management method adapted in a computer system is provided. The computer system includes a main monitor and a host. A management method includes the following steps. First, whether the main monitor is turned off or not is determined. When the main monitor is turned off, a power saving program is executed to reduce the power of the host. Furthermore, a computer system applying the above power management method is also provided.
