Fig. 1 shows a block diagram of a start-up control device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 1, the starting device includes:
a plurality of processing chips 12 connected in series;
a control chip 11 connected to a first stage processing chip 121 of the plurality of processing chips,
the control chip 11 is configured to:
at a first moment when the plurality of processing chips 12 are started, sending a starting signal with a first frequency to the first stage processing chip 121 so that the plurality of processing chips 12 sequentially run at the first frequency, wherein the first frequency is the first of a preset M starting frequencies, and M is an integer greater than 1;
according to the correspondence between the M starting frequencies and the duration, sending a starting signal of the next starting frequency to the first stage processing chip 121 at a second moment spaced from the first moment by a first duration, where the first duration corresponds to the first frequency;

wherein the M start frequencies are less than the target frequency.
According to the embodiment of the disclosure, in the starting process of the multi-chip cascade link, the control chip sends the preset M starting frequencies and the preset target frequency to the first-stage processing chip, so that all chips on the link run at the same frequency, the impedance changes of the chips tend to be stable and similar, the distribution of voltages is balanced, and the performance of the whole link is improved.
For example, M start frequencies (M is an integer greater than 1) may be preset to configure the start frequencies for the respective processing chips on the link. Wherein M start frequencies can representIs f 1 、f 2 、……、f M M start frequencies f 1 、f 2 、……、f M Are all smaller than the target frequency f of the plurality of processing chips 12 on the link in normal operation T
In one possible implementation, each start-up frequency may correspond to a duration that is greater than or equal to the duration required for the respective processing chip on the link to run smoothly at the corresponding start-up frequency. After the multiple processing chips 12 receive the new starting frequency, the operating frequency is adjusted to the newly received starting frequency and a certain time is required for stable operation, and the time length corresponding to each starting frequency is set to be longer than the time length required by the multiple processing chips 12 to operate in sequence, so that each processing chip on the link can operate stably. In this way, correspondence (e.g., mapping table) between M start frequencies and durations may be established.

Thus, at a first time interval of a first time period T 1 The control chip 11 can send the next start frequency f to the first stage processing chip 121 2 To enable the plurality of processing chips 12 to sequentially operate at an enabling frequency f 2 And (5) running. For example, f 2 Configured as 100M.
In one possible implementation manner, according to the preset sending order of the M start frequencies and the corresponding relation between the start frequencies and the duration, the control chip 11 may send the next start frequency at intervals corresponding to the duration after sending one start frequency until the M start frequencies are sequentially sent to complete.

Thus, the second time period T is spaced from the time of transmitting the start signal of the Mth start frequency M The control chip 11 can send the target frequency f to the first stage processing chip 121 T To enable the plurality of processing chips 12 to sequentially operate at a target frequency f T And (5) running.

That is, the duration of the M start-up frequencies may be set to a fixed longer duration (e.g., 0.5 seconds), so as to ensure that the multiple processing chips 12 on the link can operate smoothly in each case.
In one possible implementation, the duration of the M start frequencies may also be set to correspond to the time required for data transmission at each start frequency, for example, the duration corresponding to each start frequency is set to be greater than the number of clock cycles according to the number of clock cycles required for data transmission from the control chip 11 to the last stage processing chip.
In one possible implementation, the duration of the M start frequencies may be further set according to the feedback signals of the steady operation of the multiple processing chips, for example, after the control chip 11 sends a start signal of one start frequency to the first stage processing chip 121, the control chip receives the feedback signals of the steady operation of the multiple processing chips 12 at the start frequency, and the duration corresponding to each start frequency may be set to be greater than the time interval between the start signal and the feedback signal thereof.
The specific values of the corresponding durations of the starting frequencies are not limited in the present disclosure.
In one possible implementation, the M start frequencies may increase with the order of transmission of the start signals. That is, M start frequencies f 1 、f 2 、f 3 、……、f M For example, the values of the M starting frequencies can be sequentially configured to be 26M, 100M, and 200M … …, and the operating frequencies of the plurality of processing chips 12 can be gradually increased upwards by configuring the starting frequencies to increase along with the transmission sequence, so that the performance and efficiency of the whole link are improved. It should be understood that, the preset starting frequencies may be different from one chip to another, and the specific setting values of the starting frequencies are not limited in this disclosure.
