Fig. 1 is the synoptic diagram of the motherboard of one embodiment of the invention.Please refer to Fig. 1, motherboard 100 comprises central processing unit (Central Processor Unit, CPU) 110, first memory 120, second memory 130, voltage generator 140, embedded controller (Embedded controller, EC) 150 with chipset (Chipset) 160.
In the present embodiment, first memory 120 is machine carried memory (on-board memory), and can be random access memory (Random Access Memory, RAM), dynamic RAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory for example, DRAM), (Static Random Access Memory SRAM), DDR-I storer, DDR-II storer etc., but does not limit its scope to static RAM.
(Basic Input Output System is BIOS) with a plurality of type of memory data for second memory 130 storage Basic Input or Output System (BIOS)s.In the present embodiment, second memory 130 is ROM of BIOS (Only-read Memory).In addition, above-mentioned type of memory data recording the related data of first memory 120, and can be that sequence exists detection (Serial Presence Detect, SPD) data.
Voltage generator 140 is in order to produce the first voltage V1, and wherein voltage generator 140 comprises first resistance R 1 and second resistance R 2.First termination of first resistance R 1 is received the second voltage V2 (for example being operating voltage), and second end of first resistance R 1 produces the first voltage V1.First end of second resistance R 2 connects second end of first resistance R 1, and second end of second resistance R 2 connects earth terminal GND.
In the present embodiment, the pass of the first voltage V1 and the second voltage V2 is V1=V2*R2/ (R1+R2), so the user can be by adjusting the first voltage V1 that first resistance R 1 and the resistance value of second resistance R 2 produce different magnitudes of voltage.In addition, the first voltage V1 of different magnitudes of voltage can correspond to different type of memory data.For instance, when the magnitude of voltage 1/5*V2 of the first voltage V1, for example Dui Ying type of memory data are the type of memory data of DRAM, and when the magnitude of voltage of the first voltage V1 was 2/5*V2, for example Dui Ying type of memory data were the type of memory data of SRAM.
Embedded controller 150 is connected with voltage generator 140, receives the first voltage V1, and produces control signal CS according to the first voltage V1.That is to say that embedded controller 150 can be changed the magnitude of voltage of the first voltage V1 after receiving the first voltage V1, and corresponding generation control signal CS.In the present embodiment, control signal CS for example is a digital signal, and the transformational relation between the magnitude of voltage of the first voltage V1 and the control signal CS for example can be as described below: when V1=1/5*V2, control signal CS is [0001], when V1=2/5*V2, control signal CS is [0010], and when V1=3/5*V2, control signal CS is [0011].And above-mentioned transformational relation only is a kind of form of the present invention, those skilled in the art can push away by above-mentioned explanation other transformational relation, so do not repeat them here.
