Overheating protection circuit and system circuit board
Technical field
The present invention is for being relevant to a kind of overheating protection circuit, is meant that especially a kind of being used for avoid central processing unit overheated on the computer main frame panel, and can be in overheating protection circuit and the system circuit board of turning off power supply at the appointed time.
Background technology
Computer has become a kind of indispensable instrument in human daily life.Nearly all professional work all need be dependent on computer, so that work can be easier and more efficient.Along with computer is more prevalent, the processing clock speed of central processing unit (clock speed) short several in the period of, grow to the unit of measurement of per second 1,000,000,000 times from 1,000,000 times metering units of per second, not only the assembly of computer hardware becomes than more complicated in the past with circuit, even the program code of computer software also from before only need millions of approximately row instructions, grow to tens and go.
In present computer, have the South Bridge chip combination on the motherboard.And intrasystem low speed device major part is controlled by the South Bridge chip group.Wherein, the South Bridge chip group is responsible for keyholed back plate Industry Standard Architecture (IndustryStandard Architecture, abbreviation ISA), integrated driving electrical interface (Integrated DeviceElectronics, abbreviation IDE), slower device such as universal serial bus (USB), peripheral part linkage interface (PeripheralComponent Interconnect is called for short PCI) bus.In addition, the South Bridge chip group also is connected to power supply unit, with the control power supply unit.
Please refer to Fig. 1, it is the circuit block diagram of a kind of system circuit board in the prior art.This system circuit board 100 comprises central processing unit 102, South Bridge chip group 104 and power supply unit 106.Wherein, South Bridge chip group 104 is for being electrically coupled to central processing unit 102 and power supply unit 106, and contains an overheating protection circuit (not shown) in the South Bridge chip group 104.
In the prior art; this central processing unit 102 is when the temperature that detects central processing unit 102 surpasses a default value; then export a heat alarm to South Bridge chip group 104, and after processing by overheating protection circuit, export a power-off signal to power supply unit 106.And power supply unit 106 promptly stops output voltage to system circuit board 100 in receiving this power-off signal, burns out because of temperature is too high to avoid central processing unit 102.
In addition, overheating protection circuit is designed in the South Bridge chip group also just like shown in Fig. 2.In Fig. 2, this system circuit board 000 comprises central processing unit 202, super I/O chip (Super IOcontroller) 204, South Bridge chip group 206, basic input output system (BIOS) 208 and power supply unit 210.
In the prior art, central processing unit 202 is when the temperature that detects central processing unit 202 surpasses a default value, then exports a heat alarm to super I/O chip 204.Then, 204 of super I/O chips export heat alarm to South Bridge chip group 206, and after being processed by overheating protection circuit, export a power-off signal to power supply unit 210.And power supply unit 210 promptly stops output voltage to system circuit board 200 in receiving this power-off signal, burns out because of temperature is too high to avoid central processing unit 202.
The above is overheating protection circuit is designed example in the South Bridge chip group, unique different be exactly the central processing unit 202 of Fig. 2 for to export a heat alarm to super I/O chip 204, be resent to South Bridge chip group 206.
Please refer to Fig. 3, it is the circuit block diagram of another system circuit board in the prior art.In Fig. 3, itself and Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 difference be Fig. 3 be with overheating protection circuit 304 independent design on system circuit board 300.On this system circuit board 300, owing to heat alarm is not reached the South Bridge chip group, so the designer need add some circuits and go power supply unit 306 is turned off, and in the former circuit, such pass method can only be turned off several milliseconds, system circuit board 300 will be opened again afterwards, perhaps need through just going to turn off system after 4 seconds (override), but this demand that will in 0.5 second, shut down of compliance with system not.
This system circuit board 300 comprises central processing unit 302, overheating protection circuit 304, power supply unit 306 and super I/O chip 308.Wherein, overheating protection circuit 304 is for being electrically coupled to central processing unit 302, power supply unit 306 and super I/O chip 308.
Then, please in conjunction with Fig. 3 and Fig. 4, wherein, Fig. 4 is the practical circuit diagram of the overheating protection circuit of Fig. 3.
In the prior art, overheating protection circuit 304 for comprise transistor Q2~Q5, resistance R 4~R7, capacitor C 2, with door 402 and flip-flop 404.Wherein, resistance R 7 is for receiving memory voltage (V_SM1), resistance R 6 receives operating voltage (VCC3), resistance R 4 is with R5, flip-flop 404 and all receive stand-by power supply with 402 at door, and (during start, heat alarm is a logic high potential to the heat alarm that the base stage of transistor Q4 is transmitted for reception central processing unit 302; During shutdown, heat alarm is a logic low potential).
Memory voltage (V_SM1) may be because the relation of each different electrical power supply 306, the ratio operating voltage (VCC3) that can rise once in a while is slow, so heat alarm (THERMTRIP_L) may be pulled to electronegative potential (transistor Q2 is enabled), so will cause the undesired shutdown of system because of the misoperation of heat alarm (THERMTRIP_L).
Table 1
The central processing unit heat alarm | Heat alarm/push button signalling | Super input/output signal | Power control signal |
H | H | L | L (power supply unit ON) |
L | L | L | H (power supply unit OFF) |
H | H | H | H (power supply unit OFF) |
L | L | H | H (power supply unit OFF) |
Please refer to table 1, it is central processing unit heat alarm (CPU_THERMTRIP_L), heat alarm (THERMTRIP_L)/push button signalling (PWRBTN_L), super input/output signal (SIO_ONCTL_L) and power control signal (PSON_L) logic current potential signal table.Wherein, H presentation logic high potential, L presentation logic electronegative potential.
When system circuit board 300 can normal boot-strap, if after running a period of time, when its inside that central processing unit 302 is surveyed reaches temperature value of setting, central processing unit 302 can be moved mistake central processing unit thermal signal (CPU_THERMTRIP_L) to electronegative potential, after the accurate position conversion through transistor Q2 and transistor Q5, central processing unit heat alarm (CPU_THERMTRIP_L) will be divided into the signal in two paths: heat alarm (THERMTRIP_L) and power button signal (PWRBTN_L) then.In first path, receive heat alarm (THERMTRIP_L) and process inverter 404 anti-phase super input/output signals (SIO_ONCTL_L) later with door 402.Then, produce an anti-phase signal with 402 at door and remove to turn off power supply unit 306 (this moment, power control signal PSON_L was a high potential),
, super I/O chip 308 do not have power supply when (power fail) when detecting, will through 0.5 second to 20 seconds (being controlled) by basic input output system just can be SIO_ONCTL_L (being controlled) transition by super I/O chip be high potential, so ability is certain turns off power supply unit 306.
After power control signal (PSON_L) transition is high potential, also promptly as shown in table 1, power supply unit 306 is not after having supply of electrical energy, because the relation of electric capacity residual voltage, heat alarm (THERMTRIP_L) can be high (current potential transistor Q2 is by forbidden energy) by transition again immediately.If this moment, super I/O chip 308 did not also transfer super input/output signal (SIO_ONCTL_L) to high potential, then power control signal (PSON_L) will be a logic low potential by transition.Therefore, power supply unit 306 will be opened again, and does not reach the purpose of shutdown.
In second path, it is for to be connected to power button signal (PWRBTN_L) and to be to use the mode of forcing shutdown.But using in the prior art forces the mode of shutdown then more can't reach the requirement of turning off power supply in 0.5 second through 4 seconds.
