The feed-forward control method comprises the following steps of: firstly, normally supplying an initial current to a processing unit by a power supply unit; and then pre-sending a feed-forward demand signal to the power supply unit by the processing unit before the processing unit changes the calculating efficacy, and correspondingly supplying a modulation current to the processing unit according to the feed-forward demand signal by the power supply unit.

Description

The feedforward control system of pulse wave electric current and control method thereof
[technical field]
The present invention is a kind of control system and control method thereof, especially about a kind of feedforward control system and control method thereof of pulse wave electric current.
[background technology]
Processing unit in the general computer, such as central processing unit (Central Processing Unit, CPU) or graphic process unit (Graphic Processing Unit, GPU) etc., can need along with the data treatment capacity different required electric powers, and be responsible for adjusting and cooperating the processing unit required electric power, then need to see through a kind of pulse wave width modulation unit (Pulse Width Modulation Unit, PWM Unit) and control.
The pulse wave width modulation unit is to be positioned to be responsible for providing the electronic component of electric current to processing unit on the computer motherboard, the pulse wave width modulation unit can be according to the change in voltage of processing unit, to regulate the electric current exported to processing unit, no matter the data treatment capacity of processing unit increases or reduces, and the pulse wave width modulation unit all can offer according to the change in voltage of processing unit processing unit take adjustment electric current is suitable current value.
Please refer to Figure 1A, be the electric power system synoptic diagram of the pulse wave width modulation unit of known technology.Known electric power system 100 comprises a processing unit 110 and a pulse wave width modulation unit 120, and processing unit 110 is to be electrically connected to pulse wave width modulation unit 120, and gives processing unit 110 by the electric current that provides of pulse wave width modulation unit 120 normalities.
When the data treatment capacity of processing unit 110 increases, the increase that the power consumption of processing unit 110 also can be relative, this moment, pulse wave width modulation unit 120 can be according to the change in voltage of processing unit 110, to adjust and to provide suitable electric current to processing unit 110.When processing unit 110 data treatment capacities reduce, the minimizing that the power consumption of processing unit 110 also can be relative, this moment, pulse wave width modulation unit 120 can be according to the change in voltage of processing unit 110, to adjust and to provide suitable electric current to processing unit 110.
Pulse wave width modulation unit 120 comes modulation to offer the electric current of processing unit 110 according to the change in voltage of processing unit 110, to belong to a kind of feedback control (feed-back control) method, must wait until that pulse wave width modulation unit 120 detects the change in voltage of processing unit 110, pulse wave width modulation unit 120 just can begin the electric current that modulation offers processing unit 110, so the electricity needs that the power supply speed of feedback control method can't immediate reaction processing unit 110.Owing to be after the too much or not enough situation of the electric power of processing unit 110 occurs, pulse wave width modulation unit 120 just carries out the electric current that modulation is supplied, can produce a time interval during this, cause processing unit 110 that the drop of required electric current can occur in this time interval.Offer the too much or not enough damage that all may cause processing unit 110 of electric power of processing unit 110.
Please refer to Figure 1B, be another electric power system synoptic diagram of the pulse wave width modulation unit of known technology.Industrial community solves the too much or not enough mode of electric current that offers processing unit 110 at present, by a plurality of capacitors 130 of the other electric connection between processing unit 110 and pulse wave width modulation unit 120.These capacitors 130 can temporary transient storage offer the unnecessary electric power of processing unit 110, in the situation that these capacitors 130 also can increase at the power consumption of processing unit 110 in addition, the processing unit 110 of offering that stored electric power is interim uses, until 120 modulations suitable electric current in pulse wave width modulation unit is to processing unit 110.
Yet along with the progress of science and technology, the treatment efficiency of processing unit 110 is also more and more higher, so the increase that processing unit 110 employed electric power also can be relative.For in response to the processing unit 110 needed electric power that promote usefulness, just the quantity of capacitor 130 certainly will be also must increase can be dealt with the electricity needs of processing unit 110.The capacitor 130 of these increases will take space certain on the computer motherboard, so that computer motherboard must increase its size, in order to deal with the quantity of these capacitors that are increased 130.Increasing the size of computer motherboard, obviously is the way that runs in the opposite direction for the compact purpose of now computer apparatus pursuit.
In sum, the electric current that known pulse wave width modulation unit provides at modulation is during to processing unit, drop that will the generation time interval and power supply speed can't immediate reaction problem, and then can't satisfy the demand of present processing unit high speed electricity consumption, and the quantity of capacitor increases, and will increase the size of computer motherboard.
[summary of the invention]
In view of above problem, the invention reside in feedforward control system and control method thereof that a kind of pulse wave electric current is provided, use the drop at generation time interval when solving the pulse wave width modulation unit commonly use and powering to processing unit, and power supply speed can't immediate reaction etc. problem.
The present invention discloses a kind of feedforward control system of pulse wave electric current, comprises a processing unit and a power supply unit.Processing unit system optionally produces a feedforward control signal, and power supply unit system is electrically connected processing unit, and the power supply unit normality provides an initial current to processing unit, and power supply unit optionally provides a modulation electric current to processing unit.Wherein, before processing unit changed an operation efficiency, processing unit sent feedforward demand signal in advance to power supply unit, and power supply unit is supplied the modulation electric current to processing unit according to feedforward demand signal correspondence.
The present invention discloses a kind of feed forward control method of electric current pulse wave, may further comprise the steps: at first, a power supply unit normality is supplied initial current to a processing unit.Then, before processing unit changed an operation efficiency, processing unit sent a feedforward demand signal in advance to power supply unit.Power supply unit is supplied a modulation electric current to processing unit according to feedforward demand signal correspondence.
