Embodiment
Because the power supply unit of laptop itself has had the function that voltage detecting is adjusted, when the voltage of power supply unit unpunctual, it can stop out-put supply automatically, that is the existing good control of the voltage source of laptop, so for laptop, the voltage detecting pin of peripheral cell control chip (as south bridge) is unnecessary.And desktop computer is because of fitting together each element unlike laptop, thus do not have because of around element cause overheated problem itself to produce, this is and the desktop computer difference.The present invention utilizes the voltage detecting of south bridge point to do the temperature sensing of each peripheral cell, and wherein the voltage detecting of south bridge point comprises 4 check points, is respectively 12V, 5V, 3.3V and 2.5V.
Please refer to Fig. 2, shown in it is manipulated or operated apparatus according to detected temperatures in a kind of laptop of a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
The device 33 of detected temperatures comprises a thermistor 34 and a resistance 36 in the laptop that the present invention proposes.As shown in Figure 2, an end of thermistor 34 is connected to a voltage source V CC, and its other end connects the voltage detecting pin of chipset 30 and an end of resistance 36, and the other end ground connection of resistance 36.Should be noted that, the device of detected temperatures in the laptop proposed by the invention, be disposed at peripheral cell 32 around near, that is configurable any position in laptop, to monitor the temperature of the element that each several part might be overheated in the laptop effectively, as long as can reach the purpose of the temperature of sensing peripheral cell 32.In above-mentioned, peripheral cell 32 for example is previous IDE device 14, PCMCIA device 16, electric battery 22 or LCD (LCD shown in Figure 1; Do not show) or the like.
For instance, please refer to Fig. 3, shown in it is to vary with temperature temperature one voltage curve that its resistance value (generation magnitude of voltage) also changes thereupon when thermistor.Because the resistance value of thermistor 34 can change along with temperature variation thereupon, as shown in Figure 3, when the temperature of thermistor 34 rises to 60 degree (60 ℃) Celsius, it produces magnitude of voltage and is about about 2.3 volts (V), that is thermistor 34 can produce different magnitudes of voltage respectively under different temperature.In other words, the dividing potential drop of the connected node S that thermistor 34 and resistance are 36 can change along with the temperature of the peripheral cell 32 that thermistor 34 sensed.Because node S is connected to the voltage detecting pin of chipset 30, so chipset 30 can learn how many temperature of peripheral cell 32 is according to the dividing potential drop that node S transmitted, further whether decision carries out overheated handling procedure again, for example: stop the running operation of peripheral cell 32 immediately, its temperature is reduced in the normal range.In addition, because the temperature requirement scope of peripheral cell 32 is very inaccurate like central processing unit, various situations have just enough been dealt with so detect the temperature of each several part element in the laptop in this way.
