Abstract

An power supply circuit includes at least one voltage converting circuit, a plurality of output branches, and a plurality of power assigning elements. The at least one voltage converting circuit is configured for converting a primary voltage signal to at least one alternating current (AC) voltage signal. Each of the output branches is configured for providing a direct current (DC) power supply to a respective load circuit based on the at least one AC voltage signal. The power assigning elements are configured to reassign the DC power supplies provided by the output branches to the load circuits.
