Abstract

See full text

A power supply for an information handling system includes a rectifier circuit that is coupled to a power factor correction circuit. The power factor correction circuit includes a bulk capacitor. An extended hold-up capacitor is coupled in parallel to the bulk capacitor, via an electronic switch. The electronic switch has a first terminal coupled to the bulk capacitor and a second terminal coupled to the extended hold-up capacitor. A control circuit is coupled to a third terminal of the electronic switch and controls the operation of the electronic switch. An extended hold-up circuit is coupled to the extended hold-up capacitor and an output terminal of the power factor correction circuit. A digital signal controller is coupled to the extended hold-up circuit. The digital signal controller controls the operation of the extended hold-up circuit, and a DC to DC converter is coupled to the extended hold-up circuit.
