Abstract:
A method for improving safety of voltage regulator is disclosed. In order to improve safety of a voltage regulator, a MOS-FET is disposed on a source power lane that receives power supplied from a DC power supply. A set of voltage regulators is connected to a set of fork power lanes, correspondingly, branching off from the source power lane. PTC thermistors are disposed on a surface or in the vicinity of semiconductor chips of the voltage regulators. When temperature at any one of the PTC thermistors increases, a protection controller turns off the MOS-FET. When temperature detected by a temperature sensor incorporated within the semiconductor chip has increased, each of the voltage regulators turns off the MOS-FET via a base management controller.

Claim (Index 5):
A server unit comprising:\n a processor and a system memory; a power terminal linked to a mid-plane connected to a source of DC power; a protective switch provided on a power lane connected to said power terminal; a plurality of voltage regulators by which each supplies electric power to a device having a switching element; a temperature sensor detects temperature of each of said voltage regulators; and a controller controls said protective switch to inhibit incoming current when temperature of one of said voltage regulators rises, and making said protective switch into an OFF state and connecting said power terminal to said mid-plane.
