The primary side unit 31 is electrically connected to the rectifying unit 20 to receive the dc power. The first secondary unit 32 is coupled to the primary unit 31 to generate a first direct current. The second secondary-side unit 33 is coupled to the primary-side unit 31 to inductively generate a second direct current.
The first switch unit 40 is electrically connected to the first secondary side unit 32 and receives the first direct current. The second switching unit 50 is electrically connected to the second secondary-side unit 33 and receives the second dc power.

The control unit 70 is electrically connected to the output port 60, the first switch unit 40, the second switch unit 50, the first secondary side unit 32, the second secondary side unit 33 and the primary side unit 31.
The control unit 70 receives a charging control signal from the powered device through the output port 60.
