Abstract:
The present invention discloses a short circuit and/or bad connection detection method for use in a power supply system. The power supply system includes a power converter which converts an input voltage to an output voltage and supplies an output current to an electronic device. In the short circuit detection method, the conversion from the input voltage to the output voltage is disabled in a disable time period, and whether a short circuit occurs is determined according to the decreasing speed of the output voltage. In the bad connection detection method, an actual voltage and an actual current received by the electronic device are compared with the output voltage and the output current, to determine whether a bad connection occurs.

Claim (Index 18):
A bad connection detection method of a power supply system, wherein the power supply system includes a power converter for converting an input voltage to an output voltage and supplying an output current, the output voltage and the output current being supplied to an electronic device through a cable, the bad connection detection method of the power supply system comprising the steps of:\n sensing a actual voltage and an actual current received by the electronic device and converting the actual voltage and the actual current to an actual voltage digital signal and an actual current digital signal, respectively; comparing the actual voltage digital signal and the actual current digital signal with a desired level of the output voltage and a desired level of the output current, respectively; and when a difference between the actual voltage digital signal and the desired level of the output voltage exceeds a first predetermined threshold difference, and/or when a difference between the actual current digital signal and the desired level of the output current exceeds a second predetermined threshold difference, determining that a bad connection occurs.
