Patent 11171564 was granted and assigned to Samsung on November, 2021 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
A power provider includes: a first power source configured to receive an input voltage and to provide a first power voltage to a first output terminal; a low voltage detection circuit configured to provide a low voltage detection signal of an enable level in response to the input voltage being less than a reference low voltage, and to provide the low voltage detection signal of a disable level in response to the input voltage being greater than the reference low voltage; a first soft start circuit configured to connect the first input terminal to the first output terminal in response to a first control signal for the first power source being changed from a disable level to an enable level; and a first boost converter configured to convert the input voltage to provide the first power voltage greater than the input voltage to the first output terminal.
