Abstract

A power management system is described. The power management system includes an input power selecting unit, a charging control unit and a power switching control unit. The input power selecting unit receives a plurality of input power sources for selecting one of the input power sources to be inputted to the electronic apparatus. The charging control unit includes a charging controller and a battery. The charging controller receives a charge-enabling signal. The battery is charged by a second voltage and selectively supplies a battery power. The power switching control unit outputs a driving voltage to drive the electrical apparatus based on an adaptor-enabling signal and a power-detecting signal when the power switching control unit switches the input power sources and the battery power to select one of the input power sources and the battery power. The power switching control unit actuates the charging control unit by the adaptor-enabling signal and a system-enabling signal for charging the battery by the second voltage generated from one of the input power sources.
