Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating a structure of a power multiplexing circuit 100 according to an exemplary embodiment. As shown in fig. 1, the power multiplexing circuit 100 may include a first data chip 1, a second data chip 2, a power chip 3, and a switch circuit 4, where the switch circuit 4 (i.e., the circuit shown in the dashed line box of fig. 1) may be respectively connected to the first data chip 1, the second data chip 2, and the power chip 3, and may be used to switch the power chip 3 to be connected to the first data chip 1 or the second data chip 2 through the switch circuit 4. In one state, a power supply signal can be provided to the first data chip 1 by the power supply chip 3, so that the first data chip 1 is switched to an operating state, and the electronic device equipped with the power multiplexing circuit 100 is switched to a first data signal communication state; in another state, a power supply signal may be provided from the power supply chip 3 to the second data chip 2, so that the second data chip 2 is switched to an operating state, and the electronic device equipped with the lid power multiplexing circuit 100 is switched to a second data signal communication state.

It can be known from the above embodiments that multiplexing of the power chip 3 can be realized through the switch circuit 4 in the present disclosure, so that the first data chip 1 and the second data chip 2 in the power multiplexing circuit 100 can share the same power chip 3, and compared with a technical scheme in which different power chips need to be configured for each data chip in the related art, the number of power chips can be reduced, the circuit structure is simplified, the occupied area of the circuit is reduced, and space optimization inside the electronic device is facilitated, for example, the battery size can be increased, and the cruising ability of the electronic device is enhanced.

In an embodiment, still referring to fig. 1, the power chip 3 may include at least one common output terminal, the switch circuit 4 may include at least one switch, the at least one switch is connected to the at least one common output terminal in a one-to-one correspondence, and the first data chip 1 and the second data chip 2 are respectively connected to each switch, each switch may be configured to switch a power signal output object of the corresponding common output terminal, where the power signal output object is the first data chip 1 or the second data chip 2. Based on this, since the same output terminal of the same power chip 3 can be shared between the first data chip 1 and the second data chip 2, the number of output ports on the power chip 3 can be reduced, and the complexity of the power chip 3 can be reduced.

For example, as shown in fig. 1, it may be assumed that the power supply chip 3 includes common output terminals T1, T2, T3, and T4, and the switch circuit 4 includes changeover switches 41, 42, 43, and 44. The common output terminal T1 is connected to the switch 41, the common output terminal T2 is connected to the switch 42, the common output terminal T3 is connected to the switch 43, the common output terminal T4 is connected to the switch 44, and the

switches

41, 42, 43, and 44 are all connected to the first data chip 1 and the second data chip 2. It is further assumed that the first data chip 1 needs to receive the power signals of the common output terminals T1, T2, T3 when in the operating state, and the second data chip 2 needs to receive the power signals of the common output terminals T2, T3, T4 when in the operating state. Then, when the multiplexing power supply circuit 100 receives an instruction to switch from the first data communication state to the second data communication state, the

switches

43, and 44 may be switched on with the second data chip 2, the switch 41 may be in a completely off state, or connected with the first data chip 1, and the disclosure is not limited; similarly, when the multiplexing power supply circuit 100 receives an instruction to switch from the second data communication state to the first data communication state, the

switches

41, 42, and 43 may be switched to be on with the second data chip 1, the switch 44 may be in a completely off state, or connected with the first data chip 1, and the disclosure is not limited thereto. Of course, only the common output terminals T1, T2, T3 and T4 and the switch circuit 4 including the

switches

41, 42, 43 and 44 are used as an example for illustration, and in other embodiments, the common output terminals and the switches may be included in a greater number, and the disclosure is not limited thereto.

In another embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, the power chip 3 may include at least one first output terminal T5 for being turned on with the first data chip 1 and at least one second output terminal T6 for being turned on with the second data chip 2, and the switching circuit 4 may include a plurality of switches. Each of the first output terminals T5 and each of the second output terminals T6 is connected to a switch, so that the switch switches the conducting state of the first output terminal T5 or the second output terminal T6 connected thereto.

For example, as shown in fig. 2, the switch circuit 4 may include three switches 45 connected to the first output terminal T5 and three switches 46 connected to the second output terminal T6. When the multiplexing power supply circuit 100 receives an instruction to switch from the first data communication state to the second data communication state, the switch 45 is switched to the off state, the switch 46 is switched to the on state, and the power supply chip 3 supplies power to the second data chip 2 to switch to the second data communication state; similarly, when the multiplexing power supply circuit 100 receives an instruction to switch from the second data communication state to the first data communication state, the switch 46 is switched to the off state, the switch 45 is switched to the on state, and the power supply chip 3 supplies power to the first data chip 2 to switch to the first data communication state.

Of course, in another embodiment, as shown in fig. 3, the power chip 3 may include

common output terminals

41 and 42, a first output terminal 45, and a second output terminal 46. Wherein, the

common output terminals

41 and 42 are connected to the first data chip 1 and the second data chip 2, the first output terminal 45 is connected to the first data chip 1, and the second output terminal 46 is connected to the second data chip 2. When the multiplexing power supply circuit 100 receives an instruction to switch from the first data communication state to the second data communication state, the

common output terminals

41 and 42 are switched to be connected with the second data chip 2, the first output terminal 45 is disconnected, the second output terminal 46 is connected, and the power supply chip 3 supplies power to the second data chip 2 to switch to the second data communication state; similarly, when the multiplexing power supply circuit 100 receives a command to switch from the second data communication state to the first data communication state, the

common output terminals

41 and 42 are switched to be connected to the first data chip 2, the first output terminal 45 is connected to the common output terminal, and the second output terminal 46 is disconnected, so that the power supply chip 3 supplies power to the first data chip 1 to switch to the first data communication state.

In the above embodiments, the number of the common output terminal, the first output terminal and the second output terminal is only used as an exemplary illustration, and in other embodiments, the number may be changed, and the disclosure is not limited thereto. The switch may include field effect transistors, and in order to reduce impedance and reduce voltage drop, the internal resistance of each field effect transistor may be within 5m Ω, and may be specifically designed as required, which is not limited by the present disclosure.

Based on the above embodiments, the multiplexing power supply circuit 100 provided in the present disclosure may further include a processor 5, where the processor 5 may be turned on to each switch, and the processor may be configured to output a control signal to each switch to instruct each switch to switch the on state, so that the power supply chip 3 is switched to be turned on to the first data chip 1 or the second data chip 2, and the data communication mode of the multiplexing power supply circuit 100 is switched.

In one embodiment, the control signal may be an identification signal, and when the processor 5 sends the identification signal to the switch circuit 4, the switch circuit 4 switches from one state to another state, i.e. the power chip 3 switches to be conductive with the second data chip 2 in a state of being conductive with the first data chip 1, or switches from the power chip 3 to be conductive with the first data chip 2 in a state of being conductive with the second data chip 1. In other words, the switch circuit 4 switches state as long as it receives the identification signal.

In another embodiment, as shown in fig. 4, the control signal output by the processor 5 may include a first signal S1 and a second signal S2, the first signal S1 may be used to instruct the switch circuit 4 to switch states to turn on the first data chip 1 and the power chip 3, and the second signal S2 may be used to instruct the switch circuit 4 to switch states to turn on the second data chip 2 and the power chip 3. The control signal may be a level signal output to the switch circuit 4. For example, when the processor 5 outputs a high level signal to the switch circuit 4, the voltage of the output terminal a turned on with the first data chip 1 may be P1, i.e., the first data chip 1 and the power chip 3 are turned on, and when the processor 5 outputs a low level signal to the switch circuit 4, the voltage of the output terminal B turned on with the second data chip 1 may be P2, i.e., the second data chip 1 and the power chip 3 are turned on.

In the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 5, the present disclosure also provides an electronic device 200 configured with the power multiplexing circuit 100, and when the type of the control signal output by the processor 5 is changed, the processor 5 may be further configured to instruct the electronic device 200 to show a data switching reminding interface. For example, in fig. 5, the first data chip 1 may include a 4G modem chip, and the second data chip 2 may include a 5G modem chip, and when the electronic device 200 needs to switch from the 4G communication state to the 5G communication state, an interface as shown in fig. 5 may be shown to prompt the user. In the period of showing the data switching reminding interface and responding by the user, the configuration parameters required by the first data chip 1 and the configuration parameters of the second data chip 2 can be adjusted, so that the user is prevented from intuitively checking the network disconnection condition occurring in the adjustment period of the configuration parameters.

Based on the difference between the 4G communication and the 5G communication, the configuration parameter may include at least one of a radio frequency, a reception frequency band, a transmission frequency band, transmission and reception power, and antenna acceptance. Wherein the first data chip 1 and the second data chip 2 can receive and transmit electromagnetic waves through the same antenna or different antennas in the same electronic device 200, which is not limited by the present disclosure.

Based on the technical solution of the present disclosure, as shown in fig. 6 and 7, the multiplexing power supply circuit 100 may further include a printed circuit board 6, the first data chip 1 may be located on one side of the printed circuit board 6, and the second data chip 2 may be located on the other opposite side of the printed circuit board 7, that is, a back-to-back arrangement mode may be adopted between the first data chip 1 and the second data chip 2, so that when one of the first data chip 1 and the second data chip 2 is in an operating state, the other one of the first data chip 1 and the second data chip 2 may be used as a ground terminal to dissipate heat.

In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 7, the power chip 3 may also be disposed on the printed circuit board 7 and located on the same side as the first data chip 1 or the second data chip 2, and a distance between the power chip 3 and the data chip located on the same side is less than or equal to a predetermined distance. For example, as shown in fig. 6 and 7, the power chip 3 and the first data chip 1 are located on the same side of the printed circuit board 6, and the separation distance D between the power chip 3 and the first data chip 1 is smaller than or equal to a preset distance, which may be 5mm, 4mm, 3mm, or 2mm, etc., so that the power chip 3 can be located as close to the first data chip 1 as possible, thereby reducing impedance and voltage drop.

Further, in each of the above embodiments, since the power chip 3 samples the switch and outputs a voltage according to the sampling result, in order to reduce the voltage drop on the path from the switch to the data chip, the distance between the switch and the power chip 3 is greater than the distance between the switch and the first data chip 1, and the distance between the switch and the power chip 3 is greater than the distance between the switch and the second data chip 2.

Based on the multiplexing power supply circuit 100 described in any of the above embodiments, the present disclosure also provides a data signal switching method, as shown in fig. 8, where the switching method may include the following steps:

in step 801, a switching instruction is generated, the switching instruction being used to instruct the electronic device to switch the data signal.

In the present embodiment, the data signal may include a 4G data signal, a 5G data signal, and a 3G data signal. When detecting that the electronic device 200 is in the data downloading state, a switching instruction may be generated, so that the electronic device 200 may be switched from the 4G communication state to the 5G communication state, thereby speeding up the downloading; or, a switching instruction may be generated when it is detected that the electronic device 200 is in a data receiving state, so as to accelerate the data receiving speed, or a switching instruction may be generated when it is detected that the current data intensity of the electronic device is smaller than the preset intensity, so as to improve the user experience; or when the data downloading or receiving is completed, a switching instruction may be generated, so that the electronic device 200 is switched from the 5G communication state to the 4G communication state, which saves power consumption and is beneficial to prolonging the duration of the electronic device 200.

In step 802, a control signal is generated according to the switching instruction, and the control signal is output to the power multiplexing circuit to switch the data signal type of the electronic device.

In the present embodiment, the control signal may include one or more types. In one embodiment, the control signal may be of a type that the power multiplexing circuits 100 switch the current state when the control signal is output to the power multiplexing circuits 100, for example, the power chip 3 may be switched to be conductive with the first data chip 1, or the power chip 3 may be switched to be conductive with the second data chip 2.

In another embodiment, the control signal may include a first signal and a second signal, and when the current data signal type of the electronic device 200 is the first data signal, the second signal may be generated according to the switching instruction, and the second signal is used to instruct the power chip 3 to be conducted with the second data chip 2, so that the data signal type of the electronic device 200 is switched to the second data signal; similarly, when the current data signal type of the electronic device 200 is the second data signal, a first signal may be generated according to the switching instruction, where the first signal is used to instruct the power chip 3 to be connected to the first data chip 2, so that the data signal type of the electronic device 200 is switched to the first data signal.

In the foregoing embodiments, a prompt instruction may be further generated according to the current data signal type of the electronic device 200 and the switching instruction, where the prompt instruction is used to instruct the electronic device 200 to show a data switching reminding interface to inform a user that the user is currently in a data switching period.
