For enabling further to understand purpose of the present invention, feature and effect, now by following specific embodiment, and conjunction with figs., the present invention is described in detail, illustrate as the back:
Fig. 1 is the circuit diagram for first embodiment of the invention;
Fig. 2 is the circuit diagram for second embodiment of the invention;
Fig. 3 is the circuit diagram for third embodiment of the invention.
The present invention mainly is in 10 of the voltage end that is supplied to CPU and suitching type voltage-stabilizing controllers, voltage and electric current that intercepting is supplied, utilize the comparator circuit of suitching type voltage-stabilizing controller 10 inside, make comparisons with default voltage and current value, in two kinds of situations of over-voltage and over-current, wherein switch the step of power supply during a speciogenesis, and stop the computing of CPU, include three kinds of methods of cutting off power supply in the present invention, with three kinds of embodiment explanations, details are as follows respectively:
This first embodiment (as shown in Figure 1) is the soft-switching PS-ON with control ATX power supply unit connector 20, the safeguard measure during as superpotential or excess current.
The employed power supply of CPU be via the user after Basic Input or Output System (BIOS) (BIOS) is set its kind, be sent to suitching type voltage-stabilizing controller 10 via bus-bar 11, include in this suitching type voltage-stabilizing controller 10:
One digital analog converter 12 is that the magnitude of voltage that Basic Input or Output System (BIOS) sets is converted to analog voltage and current value, with reference voltage level as over-voltage comparator 13, and the reference current value of excess current comparer 14;
One over-voltage comparator 13 and an excess current comparer 14, when the voltage that is detected or electric current exceed preset value, promptly send a signal to or door 15;
One or door 15, be the output of integrating superpotential and excess current comparer 13,14, when wherein a kind of situation takes place, promptly send a signal.
The method applied in the present invention is in power input and the V that is supplied to CPU COREBetween power end, be provided with inductance L and the resistance R 1 of a series connection, and the node between this resistance R 1 and inductance L certainly, reach the V of CPU COREVoltage end, voltage drop value V with this resistance R 1 is connected to the converter of being located in the switching type voltage stabilizer 10 16 respectively, be connected to aforementioned excess current comparer 14 this pressure drop is converted to current value, and voltage is connected to aforementioned over-voltage comparator 13, output terminal aforementioned or door 15 then is connected in a converter 30, and analog signal exports to or an input end of door 40 so that digital signal is converted to.
When being electronegative potential as if the signal that is supplied to aforesaid soft-switching PS-ON, then the ATX power supply unit is promptly opened and power supply, if during noble potential, then close the ATX power supply unit, therefore when producing a kind of situation of superpotential or excess current, this or door 15 are promptly sent a noble potential to converter 30.
For the formula voltage-stabilizing controller 10 of avoiding switching damages, and the possibility of output over-voltage or excess current is arranged, the present invention is provided with a circuit for detecting (shown in Fig. 1 Lower Half) in addition, and it includes:
Resistance R 3 and R4 are to be series relationship, are the V with CPU COREThe voltage dividing potential drop, and input to an input end of comparer 42;
One fixed voltage output circuit is made up of the resistance R 2 and the voltage stabilizing element 41 of series connection, and another input pin that exports comparer 42 to is arranged;
One comparer 42 is comparison predeterminated voltage values and be supplied to V COREMagnitude of voltage, its output are connected to or door another input end of 40.
As the V that is supplied to CPU COREVoltage just often, promptly deficiency is so that V COREThe collapse of the voltage stabilizing element of voltage detection circuit, this voltage be through resistance R 3 and R4 voltage after partial, if less than default magnitude of voltage, then comparer 42 will export an electronegative potential to or a 4O; If be supplied to CPU because of 10 damages of suitching type voltage-stabilizing controller produce superpotential, even the collapse of the voltage stabilizing element of fixed voltage output circuit is higher than default magnitude of voltage and produce one, then comparer 42 will be exported a noble potential to gate 40.
Output terminal aforementioned or door 40 is the soft-switching PS-ON of control ATX power supply unit connector 20.The effect of this or door 40, promptly be when suitching type voltage-stabilizing controller 1O normal operation, to produce superpotential or overcurrent situations, or suitching type voltage-stabilizing controller 10 damages and when the situation of output over-voltage or excess current is arranged, as long as there is a kind of situation to take place, just the noble potential that is produced is sent to the soft-switching PS-ON of ATX power supply unit connector 20 with the supply of cutting off the electricity supply, otherwise if all just often, or door 40 is promptly exported electronegative potential and is kept the normal power supply of ATX power supply unit.
This second embodiment (as Fig. 2) is a characteristic of utilizing power supply unit self-protection, when the situation of superpotential or excess current takes place, power supply unit is forced ground connection, so promptly can not damage power supply unit, also can not provide V COREVoltage is to CPU.The present embodiment and first embodiment are roughly the same, only should or the output terminal of door 40 be to be connected in an on-off element 50 (can use MOS transistor, SCR or other to can be used as the electronic component of switch), when the situation of superpotential or excess current, even or door these on-off element 50 conductings of 40 high potential signals of being sent and the power supply of power supply unit is forced ground connection.
This 3rd embodiment (as Fig. 3) is the supply path mode of input end of cutting off the electricity supply, and mainly is the V in CPU COREBetween power end and power input, set up an on-off element 60 (it can be MOS transistor or other can be used as the element of switch), cut off supply V by the open and close of this on-off element 50 of control COREThe path of voltage.The present embodiment and first embodiment are roughly the same, only should or the output terminal of door 40 be to be connected in aforesaid on-off element 60, when the situation of superpotential or excess current, this on-off element 60 promptly is open-circuit condition, and with V CORESupply path cut off, so just do not have any power source and be supplied to the CPU running.
In sum, but the true disclosed idea of mat of the present invention, and to damaging because of power supply unit shakiness or voltage stabilizer, and the situation of output over-voltage or overcurrent damage CPU proposes effective solution; Further, increase the function that traditional methods does not have, tool novelty, practicality and industrial utilization, the real application important document that has met the Patent Law patent of invention, the whence in accordance with the law the mere formality application it.
Below the present invention has been done a detailed description, only the above person only is preferred embodiment of the present invention, when not limiting scope of the invention process.Be that all equalizations of doing according to the present patent application scope change and modify etc., all should still belong in the patent covering scope of the present invention.
