當該擴展卡(如PCIe卡)上的電壓(如P12V及P3V3)採用雙供電方式時,若該主機板為該擴展卡供電,則該電壓輸入端VIN_MB接收一高電平訊號,該場效應電晶體Q1導通,該電壓輸入端VIN_PSU接收一低電平訊號,該場效應電晶體Q2截止,此時,該主機板提供的電壓透過該電壓輸入端VIN_MB、該場效應電晶體Q1及該電壓端V1輸出給該電流偵測電路20。若該電源供應器為該擴展卡供電,則該電壓輸入端VIN_PSU接收一高電平訊號訊號,該場效應電晶體Q2導通,該反相器U1的輸入端接收該高電平訊號,該反相器U1的輸出端輸出一低電平訊號給該場效應電晶體Q1的閘極,該場效應電晶體Q1截止,此時,該電源供應器提供的電壓透過該電壓輸入端VIN_PSU、該場效應電晶體Q2及該電壓端V1輸出給該電流偵測電路20。When the voltage on the expansion card (such as the PCIe card) (such as P12V and P3V3) adopts the dual power supply mode, if the motherboard supplies power to the expansion card, the voltage input terminal VIN_MB receives a high level signal, and the field effect The transistor Q1 is turned on, the voltage input terminal VIN_PSU receives a low level signal, and the field effect transistor Q2 is turned off. At this time, the voltage provided by the motherboard passes through the voltage input terminal VIN_MB, the field effect transistor Q1 and the voltage. The terminal V1 is output to the current detecting circuit 20. If the power supply supplies power to the expansion card, the voltage input terminal VIN_PSU receives a high level signal, the field effect transistor Q2 is turned on, and the input terminal of the inverter U1 receives the high level signal, the The output terminal of the phase device U1 outputs a low level signal to the gate of the field effect transistor Q1, and the field effect transistor Q1 is turned off. At this time, the voltage supplied by the power supply device passes through the voltage input terminal VIN_PSU, the field. The effect transistor Q2 and the voltage terminal V1 are output to the current detecting circuit 20.
該電流偵測電路20的控制晶片U2透過偵測引腳SENSE及輸入引腳VIN偵測透過該電阻R3的電流,並將偵測到的電流與存儲的預設電流值進行比較,若偵測到的電流小於該預設電流值,該控制晶片U2透過其門控引腳GATE輸出一高電平訊號給該場效應電晶體Q3的閘極,該場效應電晶體Q3導通,該供電電路10的電壓端V1輸出的電壓透過該電阻R3、該場效應電晶體Q3及該電壓輸出端VOUT輸出給該擴展卡上的電子元件,該擴展卡工作。若該控制晶片U2偵測到的電流大於或等於該預設電流值,該控制晶片U2透過其門控引腳GATE輸出一低電平訊號給該場效應電晶體Q3的閘極,該場效應電晶體Q3截止,該供電電路10的電壓端V1輸出的電壓不能輸出給該擴展卡上的電子元件,該擴展卡停止工作。The control chip U2 of the current detecting circuit 20 detects the current passing through the resistor R3 through the detecting pin SENSE and the input pin VIN, and compares the detected current with the stored preset current value. The current is less than the preset current value, and the control chip U2 outputs a high level signal to the gate of the field effect transistor Q3 through its gate pin GATE, and the field effect transistor Q3 is turned on, and the power supply circuit 10 is turned on. The voltage outputted from the voltage terminal V1 is output to the electronic component on the expansion card through the resistor R3, the field effect transistor Q3 and the voltage output terminal VOUT, and the expansion card operates. If the current detected by the control chip U2 is greater than or equal to the preset current value, the control chip U2 outputs a low level signal to the gate of the field effect transistor Q3 through its gate pin GATE. When the transistor Q3 is turned off, the voltage output from the voltage terminal V1 of the power supply circuit 10 cannot be output to the electronic component on the expansion card, and the expansion card stops operating.
當該擴展卡上的電壓(如P3V3_AUX)採用主機板或者電源供應器的單一供電方式時,則該供電電路10可以省略,而直接將該電壓端V1連接至該主機板或者該電源供應器即可,其工作原理與上述相同,在此不再贅述。When the voltage on the expansion card (such as P3V3_AUX) adopts a single power supply mode of the motherboard or the power supply, the power supply circuit 10 can be omitted, and the voltage terminal V1 is directly connected to the motherboard or the power supply. However, the working principle is the same as the above, and details are not described herein again.
該擴展卡過流保護電路透過該控制晶片U2對該擴展卡上的電流進行偵測,以在偵測到的電流大於或等於預設電流值時控制該場效應電晶體Q3截止,以此切斷該擴展卡上的電源,從而防止電流過大造成該擴展卡毀壞或甚至引起該主機板毀壞。The expansion card overcurrent protection circuit detects the current on the expansion card through the control chip U2, and controls the field effect transistor Q3 to cut off when the detected current is greater than or equal to the preset current value. The power supply on the expansion card is broken, thereby preventing the current card from being damaged due to excessive current or even causing the motherboard to be destroyed.
