Hi Everyone,
I would like to inquire about laptops and the electronics in them.
I know laptops can be charged while they are in use but what enables this to happen?
I know there is a AC to DC rectifier in the power cord and then I know there is some DC to DC power supplies (and regulators) on the motherboard. But,
what controls the fact that I can charge the battery (especially while it's dead) and use the laptop so seamlessly? I figured the laptop as a whole is drawing more power from the mains to make this happen.
what allows for the battery to die or be disconnected without experiencing any severe interruption in power when the AC supply is connected?
Looking for the technical details on what is enabling this to be possible. Thanks!
