Abstract
A vehicle power supply circuit including a power source input for receiving an input current having an input voltage is disclosed. A first branch and a second branch are each connected to the power source input. Each branch includes a converter for converting the input current to an output current. A first distribution unit is connected to each converter for receiving the output current and includes a plurality of first outputs for supplying power to a plurality of loads.
Claims16
A circuit comprising:
- a power source input for receiving an input current having an input voltage;
- a first branch and a second branch, each branch being connected to the power source input and each branch comprising:
- a converter for converting the input current to an output current;
- and
- a first distribution unit connected to the respective converter for receiving the output current, the first distribution unit comprising a plurality of first outputs for supplying power to a plurality of loads;
- and
- a second distribution unit connected to one of the first outputs of the first branch and comprising a plurality of second outputs for supplying power to a plurality of second loads;
- wherein the second distribution unit is further connected to one of the first outputs of the second branch, and wherein the plurality of second outputs comprises:
- at least one dual power second output, the at least one dual power second output being connected to the first outputs of both the first and second branches for receiving power for supplying its respective second load;
- and
- at least one single power second output, the at least one single power second output being connected to the first output of one of the first and second branches for receiving power for supplying their respective second loads from the one branch alone.
