ABSTRACT:
A power supply system for an electric/electronic apparatus, such as a notebook computer and an expansion unit, which can be separated into a plurality of subunits or combined into one unit. When a DC power of an external power supply is applied to only an DC inlet A, a FET switch is turned off, so that the DC power at the DC inlet A is applied to both the DC/DC converters A and B. When the DC power of the external power supply is applied to both the DC inlets A and B, the FET switch is turned ON, so that the DC power at the DC inlet A is applied to the DC/DC converters A and the DC power at the DC inlet B is applied to the DC/DC converter B. The user can attach the AC adapter to only the DC inlet A or to both the DC inlets A and B to meet the system configuration, i.e., according to what kind of apparatus(es) is connected into the open slot(s).
