The terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, as referred to in embodiments of the present invention, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of steps or elements is not limited to only those steps or elements but may alternatively include other steps or elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.
An embodiment of the present invention provides a hot plug protection device for a server, and specifically, as shown in fig. 1, the hot plug protection device includes: a current adjusting unit 11, a control unit 12, and a converting unit 13;
the current adjusting unit 11 is connected to an external input end, and may be configured to suppress current at the input end, and the current adjusting unit 11 is further connected to an input end of a hot plug protection module of the server through the converting unit 13, so as to input the suppressed current into the hot plug protection module; the transformation unit 13 is also connected with the external input end;
the control unit 12 is connected to the transformation unit 13 and can be used to control the transformation unit.
The current after being restrained is smaller than the original input current by restraining the input current by the current regulating unit, so that the input current of the subsequent field effect transistor is reduced, and the influence of overlarge input current on the field effect transistor in the prior art is solved.
In addition, two different input channels of the hot plug protection module can be realized through the conversion unit, so that when external input current is small, the hot plug module can directly reach the field effect transistor, and the problem that the current is too small due to inhibition of the device of the embodiment on the input current is avoided. Thereby realizing a function capable of selecting an input line based on a current situation.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 2, the transformation unit 13 includes: a first path 131 and a second path 132;
an input end of the first path 131 is connected to an external input end, an output end of the first path 131 is connected to an input end of the hot-plug protection module, and the first path 131 may be configured to enable an external input current to be input to the hot-plug protection module;
the input end of the second path 132 is connected to the output end of the current adjusting unit 11, the output end of the second path 132 is connected to the input end of the thermal insertion protection module, and the second path 132 may be configured to enable the current restrained by the current adjusting unit to be input to the thermal insertion protection module.
Therefore, only one of the first path and the second path is conducted during control, so that the device can adjust the current path input by the subsequent hot plug control module based on the control of the control unit, thereby realizing the line selection effect under different current input conditions, and ensuring that the subsequent field effect transistor avoids the possible damage problem caused by receiving larger current.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 2, the control unit 12 may be specifically configured to control the second path 132 to be turned on and control the first path 131 to be turned off when the external input current exceeds a preset threshold; the control unit 12 may be further specifically configured to control the first path 131 to be turned on and control the second path 132 to be turned off when the external input current does not exceed the preset threshold.
Whether the input current exceeds a preset threshold value or not is determined to select the first path and the second path in the change unit, so that the function of selecting a conduction path based on the actual current condition can be realized, and subsequent field effect transistors cannot be influenced no matter the external input current is large or small.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 2, the control unit 12 is further connected to a gate switch in the hot-plug protection module;
the control unit 12 may be configured to control the gate switch to be turned off when the external input current exceeds a preset threshold.
Thus, by controlling the turn-off of the gate switch, the input to the gate of the field effect transistor can be stopped when a large current exists, and the safety of the field effect transistor can be further ensured.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 2, when a current level monitor is disposed in the hot-plug protection module;
the control unit 12 is connected to the current level monitor and can be used for receiving external input current information monitored by the current level monitor.

the control unit 12 is specifically the current controller.
When the hot-plug protection module is provided with the current controller, the device can be directly used as the control unit in the embodiment, so that a control device for controlling the gate switch and the conversion unit is not required to be arranged, and the cost and the layout space in the equipment can be saved.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 3, the current regulating unit 11 is embodied as a transformer;
the input end of the transformer is connected with the input end of the outside, and the output end of the transformer is connected with the transformation unit 13.
By arranging the transformer as the current regulating unit, the transformer is convenient to manufacture and low in cost, so that the cost of the device can be saved, and the manufacturing difficulty can be reduced.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 3, the input terminal of the transformer is connected in parallel with the external input capacitor to realize power compensation.
The input end of the transformer is connected in parallel with the input capacitor of the external input end, so that the effect of power compensation can be achieved, the problem that the power factor is low due to the fact that the transformer belongs to an inductive load is solved, and the power factor can be corrected by connecting one capacitor in parallel to achieve the function of power compensation.

a first output terminal of the hot-plug protection module 42 is connected to a drain of the field effect transistor, and a second output terminal of the hot-plug protection module is connected to a gate of the field effect transistor.
Further, as a specific example of the above system, the hot plug protection system of the server may be as shown in fig. 5, wherein Rsense is a current detection resistor, transformer is a Transformer, D is a drain of a field effect transistor, S is a source of the field effect transistor, and G is a gate of the field effect transistor; IMON is a current level monitor; sense + is a positive terminal current signal; sense-is the negative terminal current signal; a Gate switch of the Gate driver; vin is an external input end; vout is the external output end; cin is an external input capacitor; cout is the external output capacitance; the Current Limit Control is a Current controller. Thus, after the external input Current reaches the Rsense Current detection resistor through the path 1 of the change-over switch, the IMON Current level monitor obtains Current information through the Sense + positive end Current signal and the Sense-negative end Current signal and provides the Current information to the Current Limit Control Current controller, when the Current monitor judges that the Current is too large (exceeds a preset threshold), the change-over switch is controlled to disconnect the path 1 to enable the path 2 to be conducted, so that the external input Current is reduced through the inhibition of the Transformer, the restrained Current reaches the drain electrode of the D field effect transistor through the Rsense Current detection resistor, the drain electrode Current passing through the field effect transistor is greatly reduced, and the influence on the field effect transistor is avoided. Meanwhile, the Current Limit Control Current controller also controls when judging that the Current is overlarge; the Gate switch of the Gate is turned off, so that the field effect transistor can stop influencing the Gate when the external input current is larger.
The embodiment of the invention provides a hot plug protection device and a system of a server, wherein the hot plug protection device of the server comprises a current regulation unit, a control unit and a conversion unit; the current adjusting unit is connected with an external input end and used for inhibiting the current of the input end, and the current adjusting unit is also connected with the input end of a hot-plug protection module of the server through the transformation unit so as to input the inhibited current into the hot-plug protection module; the transformation unit is also connected with the external input end; the control unit is connected with the transformation unit and is used for controlling the transformation unit. Therefore, the input current can be restrained through the current adjusting unit, so that the restrained current is smaller than the original input current, the input current of the subsequent field effect transistor is reduced, and the influence of overlarge current on the field effect transistor is avoided. Simultaneously, can realize two different input channels of hot plug protection module through the transform unit for when external input current is less, can directly reach field effect transistor through the hot plug module, avoided the device of this embodiment to the problem of the current undersize that input current's suppression brought.
