Block Diagram
PV-5127 is built around a high efficiency DC/DC converter that converts the incoming DC voltage
to 5V/15A. This output is used for +5V Standby and is available at CN2 and CN10. A power
switch is used for turning on/off the output vo5V and +12V under software control and by
the safety shutdown function.
The mains power and backup battery are connected to KL2. The input selector circuit always
selects the highest of the two voltages. If the mains voltage drops below the battery voltage, the
backup battery immediately takes over.
