1.9 Power Supply
The power supply supplies many different voltages to the system board and performs the
following functions:
1. Checks power input to determine:
• Whether the AC adaptor is connected to the computer
• Whether the battery pack is installed and supplying power
2. Checks power supply’s internal controls:
• Battery pack charging: start, stop and voltage supplied to the battery pack
• Power supply system: Power supplied from a DC power source (AC adaptor)
• Faulty power supply: Executes forced shutdown if needed
• Logic: Power supply to various circuits
• Charging current to PWM control IC for battery pack charging
3. Controls the following aspects of the logic system
• Power supply to gate arrays
• Power on/off
4. Indicates the following:
• DC IN (sets LED to orange or green)
• Battery icon (sets LED to orange or green)
• Faulty power supply by low battery
5. Interface for the following:
• BIOS via EC/KBC
• Function mode of power supply
6. Detects the following:
• Input voltage to logic system
• Input voltage, overvoltage and input/output to battery pack
• Battery pack’s internal temperature
• Input voltage to DC power supply (output from AC adaptor)
