The resistances of the resistors R1 and R2 are respectively 1.65 kilo ohms and 2.2 kilo ohms, and the resistance of the feedback resistor R3 is 3.3 kilo ohms. The on-off states of the field effect transistors Q1 and Q2 are determined by the values of BitO and Bitl in SPD10. The output of the controller 22 is connected to the input of the filter 24. The output of the filter 24 outputs a voltage VDD, and the output of the filter 24 and the feedback resistor R3 of the feedback bias circuit 28 The other end is connected, and the voltage VDD is transmitted to the linear regulator 26, and is converted to the first connector % and the = connection 40 through the linear stable 9 200822819 dust collector 2·6, respectively. The output end of the wave device 24 is also directly connected to the first connection connector 40 to output the voltage VDD to the connector 30, 40. The DDR2 memory is mounted on the 2 first connector 3A.

According to the voltage division formula VOD=W(il3+iU)/Rl of Vfb and VDD, the calculated vDD is 18V, so the controller 22 adjusts the output voltage to 18V and filters through it. The filter 24 filters the output, and VDD is directly supplied to the feedback bias circuit 28 and the DDR2 memory mounted on the first connection 30. The VDD is further converted to VTT (0.9V) by the linear regulator 26. Available for DDR2 memory. When the DDR3 memory is mounted on the second connector 40, the first connector 30 is vacant, and the basic input/output system (BIOS) reads the information in the SPD 10 when the computer system is powered on, and the values of bitO and bitl in the SPD Byte2 are 11. It is determined that the DDR3 memory is mounted on the second connector 40, so the field effect transistor Q2 is turned on, and the resistor R2 is connected to the circuit, because the feedback bias circuit 28 must feed the controller 22 back to the pin end. The voltage is adjusted to the set value of 0.6V. According to the voltage division formula VDD=Vfb*(R3+R2)/R2 of Vfb and VDD, the VDD is calculated to be 1.5V, so the controller 22 adjusts the output voltage to 1.5V' and 200822819 The filter 24 filters the output, and VDD is directly supplied to the feedback bias circuit 28 and the DDR3 memory mounted on the second connector 40.
