Abstract
A power supply system for an electronic device includes a power supply unit adapted to convert AC power to a first DC power, a DC/DC converter connected to the power supply unit, a super I/O chipset connected to the DC/DC converter, and a south bridge chipset connected to the DC/DC converter via a switch. The DC/DC converter is adapted to convert the first DC power into a second DC power. The switch is connected to the super I/O chipset and controlled by the super I/O chipset. The super I/O chipset is adapted to turn on the switch to have the DC/DC converter supply the second DC power to the south bridge chipset when the electronic device is turned on. The super I/O chipset is also adapted to turn off the switch when the electronic device is shut down.
