Table lists the FL inverter board specifications. The power supply supplies twenty-five different voltages to the system board. The power supply microcontroller has the following functions.
Judges if the DC power supply AC adapter is connected to the computer. Detects DC output and circuit malfunctions. Controls the battery icon, and DC IN icon. Turns the battery charging system on and off and detects a fully charged battery. Turns the power supply on and off. Provides more accurate detection of a low battery.
Calculates the remaining battery capacity. Controls the transmission of the status signal of the main battery. Real time clock RTC battery.
The main battery is the primary power supply for the computer when the AC adapter is not connected. In Stand by mode, the main battery maintains the current status of the computer.
Battery charging is controlled by a power supply microprocessor. The power supply microprocessor controls power supply and detects a full charge when the AC adaptor and battery are connected to the computer. When the AC adapter is connected, normal charging is used while the system is turned on and quick charge is used while the system is turned off. See Table The main battery is fully charged.
