Power source device having standby power-cutoff function, and method for controlling same

Abstract

Disclosed is a power source device having a standby power-cutoff function, which is to be used to charge a battery. The power source device comprises: a micro-USB connector () for connecting to the power source unit () of a smartphone when the battery of the smartphone or the like is to be charged; and a power generation unit () supplying DC charging power to the smartphone () from an AC input power source. The present invention includes: a control unit () having at least one microprocessor for controlling the overall operation and functioning of a power source device (); a power supply/cutoff unit () supplying/cutoff the AC input power to the power generation unit () according to the control of the control unit (); and a current-sensing unit (CT) connected so as to monitor the current from the power supply/cutoff unit (), provide the control unit () with the current, and provide an indication of the charging state of the battery. The power source unit () of the smartphone also includes a first backflow-preventing unit () connected between the battery () and the control unit () so as to prevent the DC power from the power source device () from being directly applied to the battery () during charging, and the power source device () further includes a second backflow-preventing unit () which is connected between the DC charging voltage output terminal of the power generation unit () and the power supply voltage (Vc) of the control unit ().
