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 7):
A power supply system, comprising:\n a power converter for converting an input voltage to an output voltage and supplying an output current, wherein the output voltage and the output current are supplied to an electronic device through a cable; and a bad connection detection unit, including:\n a voltage sensing circuit for sensing an actual voltage received by the electronic device; \n a current sensing circuit for sensing an actual current received by the electronic device; \n a first analog-to-digital converter for converting the actual voltage to a first digital signal; \n a second analog-to-digital converter for converting the actual current to a second digital signal; and \n a calculation circuit for determining whether or not a bad connection occurs according to the first digital signal, the second digital signal, the output voltage and the output current.
