Abstract

An uninterruptible power supply provides internal connection to an auxiliary power to provide continuous device power without duplicating regulation and switching circuits. The power supply includes an AC to DC converter, a transformer and a switch applying DC power from converter to the transformer. A pulse width modulation control circuit assures a regulated output voltage while application of auxiliary power is controlled by a fixed time interval one-shot that assures a smooth transition to AC utility power upon resumption of such power following a failure. An auxiliary AC power output signal is maintained for a video monitor or other device even while operating on auxiliary power.
