A power adapter for an electronic device selectively works in different modes according to a working state signal of the electronic device. When the electronic device is powered off or on with a battery in a determined charge state, the power adapter controls a relay to turn off the relay to disconnect power to the electronic device.

Power adapter and power supply method thereof

A control circuit for a switching power supply (SPS) includes power input and output interfaces, a relay, a relay driving circuit, a microprocessor, and an alternating current/directing current (AC/DC) converter. The power input interface receives an external alternating current (AC) power signal, and transmits the AC power signal to the SPS via the power output interface. The AC/DC converter transforms the AC power signal into a direct current (DC) power signal to supply for the relay, the relay driving circuit, and the microprocessor. When a computer is turned on, the microprocessor sends a first control signal to control the relay driving circuit to drive the relay to connect the power input and output interfaces. When the computer is turned off, the microprocessor sends a second control signal to control the relay driving circuit to drive the relay to cut off connection between the power input and output interfaces.

Control circuit for switching power supply

A switching power supply saving system includes a power interface, a power converting circuit, a relay, a relay driving circuit, a trigger, and a timing sequence circuit. The power converting circuit is configured to receive the AC power from the power interface. The power converting circuit is capable of transforming the AC power to direct current (DC) power to supply to a motherboard. When the timing sequence circuit receives a power on signal, the timing sequence circuit is capable of controlling the relay driving circuit via the trigger to cause the relay to connect the power converting circuit to the power interface. When the timing sequence circuit receives a power off signal, the timing sequence circuit is capable of controlling the relay driving circuit via the trigger to cause the relay to cut off connection between the power converting circuit and the power interface.

Switching power supply saving system

A power switch circuit includes a connector connected to a power supply, a detecting circuit, a first switch circuit, and a first conversion circuit. The connector is connected to the detecting circuit and connected to a first power terminal of a motherboard. The connector is connected to a second power terminal of the motherboard via the first conversion circuit and the first switch circuit, the detecting circuit outputs a corresponding control signal according to a type of the power supply to turn the first switch circuit and the first conversion circuit on or off to supply power for the motherboard.
