ABSTRACT:
A two stage multiple output power supply device is capable of outputting programmable DC voltages onto multiple outputs. The first stage receives an AC supply voltage and outputs a DC supply voltage. The second stage includes a DC-ID controller and multiple DC-to-DC converters, each DC-to-DC converter receiving the DC supply voltage and capable of outputting a programmable DC voltage onto a conductor of a power cord to power an electrical device. For each DC-to-DC converter, the DC-ID controller receives information in an AC signal on the conductor, the information indicating the voltage and current requirements and the polarity of an electrical device connected to the power cord for that DC-to-DC converter. In response to the information, the DC-ID controller controls the DC-to-DC converter to set a magnitude, a polarity and a current limit for the programmable DC voltage that will be output by the DC-to-DC converter.
