INPUT-VOLTAGE-OFF DETECTION APPARATUS AND POWER SUPPLY WITH INPUT-VOLTAGE-OFF DETECTION APPARATUS
An input-voltage-off detection apparatus includes a voltage adjustment unit, a time delay unit, a voltage clamp unit, an auxiliary voltage discharge switch unit and an isolation notification unit. The voltage adjustment unit receives an input voltage. The time delay unit utilizes the input voltage to generate a direct current voltage. After the input voltage is cut off, the direct current voltage stored in the time delay unit discharges to the voltage adjustment unit. When the direct current voltage reduces to a predetermined voltage, the auxiliary voltage discharge switch unit is turned on, so that an auxiliary voltage winding sends a working voltage to the isolation notification unit. After the isolation notification unit receives the working voltage, the isolation notification unit notifies an electronic apparatus that the input voltage is cut off.

VOLTAGE DIVIDER CIRCUIT ASSEMBLY AND METHOD
A voltage divider circuit assembly includes resistors, an external electrostatic shield, and internal electrostatic shield(s). The resistors are in series with each other between input terminals that receive an input voltage. An external resistor is disposed between sensing terminals that conduct an output voltage that is the input voltage divided by the resistors in the series. The external shield is conductively coupled with the series of the resistors with the external resistor disposed outside of the external shield and the other resistor(s) inside the external shield. The internal shield(s) are conductively coupled with the resistors and disposed inside the external shield. A first internal resistor is disposed inside the external shield and outside of the internal shield(s). One or more remaining resistors are inside the internal shield(s). The shields divide parasitic capacitances to enable the measurement of dynamically changing high voltage input signals.
