Description

Hot plug circuit, mainboard and server system
Technical Field
The application relates to the technical field of servers, in particular to a hot plug circuit, a mainboard and a server system.
Background
As server performance increases, there is a concomitant need for greater power consumption. According to data statistics of 2019-2020, the power consumption of the CPU reaches over 300W, and the power consumption of the GPU is improved to 400W. In foreseeable iterative products, the power consumption of each key electronic device in the server is on a continuing trend. The increased power consumption of the server poses a significant challenge to the heat dissipation capability of the server.
Servers are typically equipped with heat sinks to dissipate the heat. The fan part is a core part of the heat sink. The server needs to be continuously radiated by the radiating device in the normal working process so as to reduce the working temperature of the electronic devices in the server. At some special times, it is desirable to allow the server to perform maintenance of the fan assembly while it is on. For example, when the fan unit is out of order or works poorly, it is necessary to cut off the electrical connection between the fan unit and the motherboard without stopping the operation of the server. And in the starting state, the electric connection between the fan component and the mainboard is cut off, namely the hot plugging of the fan component is realized.
In the hot plugging process, instant surge current may be generated, thereby affecting the normal operation of the mainboard of the server. During hot plugging, voltage overshoot may also be caused to damage the fan components. At present, surge current or voltage overshoot may be generated by traditional hot plugging, and the hidden trouble of damaging circuit components exists.

Referring to fig. 1, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a hot plug circuit 10, which is applicable to a server motherboard. The hot swap circuit 10 comprises a connector 100, a switch circuit 200, a self-healing protection circuit 300, and a control circuit 400. The connector 100 is used to electrically connect a load 101. A first terminal of the switching circuit 200 is electrically connected to a first terminal of the connector 100. A first terminal of the self-healing protection circuit 300 is electrically connected to a second terminal of the switching circuit 200. The second terminal of the self-recovery protection circuit 300 is configured to receive a supply voltage. A first end of the control circuit 400 is electrically connected to a second end of the connector 100. A second terminal of the control circuit 400 is electrically connected to a control terminal of the switch circuit 200. The third terminal of the control circuit 400 is electrically connected to the second terminal of the switching circuit 200. The control circuit 400 is used for determining whether to control the switch circuit 200 to be turned on according to whether the load 101 is electrically connected to the connector 100.
In one embodiment, the number of pins of the connector 100 can be selected according to actual requirements as long as a ground loop is ensured inside the connector 100. For example, the connector 100 may be a 6-pin connector. The connector 100 may also be a 16 pin connector. In one embodiment, the load 101 may be a fan. In one embodiment, the load 101 may also be another load with a hot-plug function. In one embodiment, the connector 100 may select a 6-pin or more than 6-pin connector, so that a unified management of the load 101 may be achieved.
In one embodiment, the connector 100 is removably electrically connected to the load 101. I.e. a pluggable electrical connection between the load 101 and the connector 100. Specifically, the load 101 and the connector 100 may be connected by a male connector and a female connector. For example, a male connector is disposed on the load 101, and a female connector is disposed on the connector 100. Or, a female head is arranged on the load 101, and a male head matched with the female head is arranged on the connector 100. The male and female connectors are matched to realize the plug-in connection between the load 101 and the connector 100.
It is understood that the specific circuit structure of the switch circuit 200 is not limited as long as the control circuit 400 can determine whether to control the switch circuit 200 to be turned on according to whether the load 101 is electrically connected to the connector 100. In one embodiment, the switching circuit 200 may be a switching tube. For example, the switch tube may be an N-type MOSFET (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor). The switch tube may also be an IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor).
It is understood that the specific circuit topology of the self-healing protection circuit 300 is not limited as long as it has the function of self-healing after overcurrent protection. In one embodiment, the self-healing protection circuit 300 may employ a self-healing fuse. For example, the self-healing fuse may be a polymeric polymer PPTC. The self-healing fuse may also be a ceramic CPTC. In one embodiment, the self-recovery protection circuit 300 may be matched according to the total power consumption of the load 101, as long as the self-recovery protection circuit 300 is ensured to have the overcurrent protection function on the load 101. For example, the open circuit current of the self-healing protection circuit 300 may be set to 1.2-1.5 times the maximum power consumption value of the load 101.
In an embodiment, when the supply current corresponding to the supply voltage received by the self-recovery protection circuit 300 is greater than the open-circuit current of the self-recovery protection circuit 300, the self-recovery protection circuit 300 performs overcurrent protection to avoid damaging other components (such as the control circuit 400 and the switch circuit 200) in the circuit. The self-recovery protection circuit 300 can reset automatically after overcurrent protection, and has a function of repeated use. In one embodiment, the supply voltage may be a 12V supply voltage. The supply voltage may also be a 24V supply voltage. The supply voltage may be provided by a power supply.
It is understood that the specific circuit topology of the control circuit 400 is not limited as long as it has a function of determining whether to control the switching circuit 200 to be turned on according to whether the load 101 is electrically connected to the connector 100. In one embodiment, the control circuit 400 may be an RC charge-discharge network. In one embodiment, the control circuit 400 may also be a conventional integrated control chip.
In one embodiment, the determining whether to control the switch circuit 200 to be turned on according to whether the load 101 is electrically connected to the connector 100 by the control circuit 400 includes: if the load 101 is electrically connected to the connector 100, the control circuit 400 controls the switch circuit 200 to be turned on. Specifically, when the load 101 is electrically connected to the connector 100, the control circuit 400 may output a low level to the control terminal of the switch circuit 200, so as to turn on the switch circuit 200. That is, the power supply voltage may be provided to the load 101 through the self-recovery protection circuit 300, the switch circuit 200, and the connector 100 in this order.
On the contrary, if the load 101 is not electrically connected to the connector 100, the control circuit 400 controls the switch circuit 200 to be turned off. Specifically, when the load 101 is not electrically connected to the connector 100, the control circuit 400 may output a high level to the control terminal of the switch circuit 200, so that the switch circuit 200 is turned off. That is, the power supply voltage is provided to the second terminal of the switch circuit 200 through the self-recovery protection circuit 300. Since the switch circuit 200 is in the off state, the power supply voltage is not output to the connector 100. Thus, the hot plug function of the load 101 can be realized by adopting the above mode. Meanwhile, in the hot plugging process, overcurrent protection can be realized by matching the self-recovery protection circuit, so that the surge current or voltage overshoot generated by hot plugging is avoided from damaging components.
In one embodiment, if the load 101 is a fan, the connector 100 is a 6-pin connector, and the switch circuit 200 is an N-type MOSFET. When the fan is inserted into the 6-pin connector or the fan is electrically connected to the 6-pin connector through a jumper wire, the first terminal of the control circuit 400 is grounded through the 6-pin connector. That is, the control circuit 400 outputs a low level to the control terminal (i.e., the gate of the N-type MOSFET) of the switching circuit 200. At this time, a voltage drop is generated between the control terminal of the switch circuit 200 and the second terminal of the switch circuit 200 (i.e., the source of the N-type MOSFET), so that conduction is performed between the first terminal (i.e., the drain of the N-type MOSFET) and the second terminal of the switch circuit 200. At this time, the power supply voltage may be sequentially supplied to the fan through the self-recovery protection circuit 300, the N-type MOSFET, and the 6-pin connector.
When the fan is not inserted into the 6-pin connector or the fan is not electrically connected to the 6-pin connector, the first terminal of the control circuit 400 is not grounded. That is, the control circuit 400 outputs a high level to the control terminal of the switch circuit 200. At this time, the voltage drop between the control terminal of the switch circuit 200 and the second terminal of the switch circuit 200 is zero, and the first terminal and the second terminal of the switch circuit 200 are disconnected. The supply voltage is not output to the connector 100 at this time. Thus, the hot plug function of the fan can be realized by adopting the mode. Meanwhile, in the hot plugging process, overcurrent protection can be realized through the cooperation of the self-recovery protection circuit, so that the surge current or voltage generated by hot plugging is prevented from overshooting to damage components.
In this embodiment, the control circuit 400 may determine whether to control the switching circuit 200 to be turned on according to whether the load 101 is electrically connected to the connector 100, and may be matched with the self-recovery protection circuit 300, so that in the hot plugging process, overcurrent protection may be implemented by the self-recovery protection circuit 300, and thus, surge current or voltage overshoot generated by hot plugging may be prevented from damaging components.
Referring to fig. 2, in one embodiment, the self-healing protection circuit 300 includes: a self-healing fuse 310. A first terminal of the self-healing fuse 310 is electrically connected to a second terminal of the switching circuit 200. The second terminal of the self-healing fuse 310 is configured to receive the supply voltage. In one embodiment, the self-healing fuse 310 may be a polymer PPTC. In one embodiment, the open circuit current of the self-healing fuse 310 may be set to 1.2-1.5 times the maximum power consumption value of the load 101. The hot swap circuit 10 employs the self-healing fuse 310, which can reset itself after overcurrent protection. Compared with a common fuse, the fuse does not need to be replaced after overcurrent protection, so that the operation is simplified.
In one embodiment, the control circuit 400 includes: a first resistor 410, a second resistor 420 and a first capacitor 430. A first end of the first resistor 410 is electrically connected to a second end of the connector 100. The first terminal of the second resistor 420 is connected to the second terminal of the first resistor 410 and the control terminal of the switch circuit 200. A first terminal of the first capacitor 430 is electrically connected to a first terminal of the second resistor 420. The second terminal of the first capacitor 430 is connected to the second terminal of the second resistor 420 and the second terminal of the switch circuit 200.
In one embodiment, the first resistor 410 may be a fixed resistance resistor. The first resistor 410 may be a resistor with an adjustable resistance. Similarly, the second resistor 420 may be a fixed resistance resistor. The second resistor 420 may also be a resistor with an adjustable resistance. The RC charging and discharging control circuit formed by the first resistor 410, the second resistor 420 and the first capacitor 430 can control the on and off of the switch circuit 200. Compared with the traditional control circuit, the control circuit has the advantages of simple structure and low cost.
In one embodiment, if the load 101 is electrically connected to the connector 100, a terminal voltage between the second terminal of the switch circuit 200 and the control terminal of the switch circuit 200 is less than a threshold voltage of the switch circuit 200, and the terminal voltage satisfies the following formula:
Figure BDA0002660266370000111
wherein R is 1 Is the resistance value of the first resistor 410; r is 2 Is the resistance of the second resistor 420, and Vs is the supply voltage.
In one embodiment, if the switch circuit 200 is an N-type MOSFET, the voltage of the terminal is smaller than the threshold voltage by configuring the resistance values of the first resistor 410 and the second resistor 420, so as to improve the reliability of controlling the conduction of the N-type MOSFET. Specifically, when the load 101 is electrically connected to the connector 100, after the supply voltage flows through the self-recovery protection circuit 300, the terminal voltage between the gate and the source of the N-type MOSFET changes from zero to a negative value through the charging and discharging actions of the first resistor 410, the second resistor 420 and the first capacitor 430. That is, a voltage drop is generated between the gate and the source of the N-type MOSFET, and the terminal voltage between the gate and the source is smaller than the threshold voltage, at which time the N-type MOSFET starts to be turned on.
In one embodiment, the soft start time of the switching circuit 200 from the initial conduction to the full conduction satisfies the following formula:
Figure BDA0002660266370000121
wherein, V C Is the voltage across the first capacitor 430; v s Is the supply voltage; t is the slow start time; r 1 Is the resistance value of the first resistor 410; c 1 Is the capacity of the first capacitor 430.
In one embodiment, the slow start time refers to: the switching circuit 200 is turned on from the beginning to the time of full conduction. In one embodiment, the soft start time of the switch circuit 200 from being turned on to being fully turned on after the switch circuit 200 starts to be turned on can satisfy the above formula. The slow start time can be adjusted by configuring the resistance-capacitance values of the first resistor 410 and the first capacitor 430, so that the impact of surge current can be further avoided, and the reliability is improved.
For example, if the switch circuit 200 is an N-type MOSFET, the slow start time of the N-type MOSFET from being turned on to being fully turned on can be adjusted by configuring the capacitance values of the first resistor 410 and the first capacitor 430. Meanwhile, the resistance values of the first resistor 410 and the second resistor 420 can be configured, so that the terminal voltage between the gate and the source of the N-type MOSFET is smaller than the threshold voltage, and the reliability of controlling the conduction of the N-type MOSFET is improved. That is to say, the slow start time of the switch circuit 200 can be adjusted by configuring the resistance-capacitance values of the first resistor 410, the second resistor 420 and the first capacitor 430, and the reliability of controlling the switch circuit 200 to be turned on is improved. In one embodiment, the slow start time can be set to millisecond by configuring the rc values of the first resistor 410 and the first capacitor 430, so that the surge of the surge current can be effectively avoided.
Referring to fig. 3, in an embodiment, the hot plug circuit 10 further includes: a freewheel circuit 500. A first terminal of the free-wheeling circuit 500 is commonly connected with a first terminal of the self-recovery protection circuit 300 and a second terminal of the switching circuit 200. The second terminal of the freewheel circuit 500 is connected to ground.
It can be understood that the specific circuit topology of the freewheel circuit 500 is not limited, as long as the freewheel circuit has the function of protecting components in the circuit from being damaged.
