In this embodiment, the voltages of the nodes vUSB and vusb are both equal to 5V. Referring to FIG. 2 at the same time, the USB power dynamic distribution power supply of the present invention is shown. According to the USB standard, the maximum current allowed by each USB port is 500mA. Therefore, in this embodiment, the rated total current of the USB ports 161, 162, 163, and 164 is 4 USB ports 161, 162, and 163. 098125625 Form No. A0101 Page 6 of 23 page 0982043829-0 201104398 The sum of the currents of 164, ie, 2Α. As can be seen from Fig. 2, the currents required for the USB devices 21, 22, and 23 inserted into the USB ports 161, 162, and 163 are 100 mA·, 300 mA, and 800 mA, respectively. Since the current required by the USB device 23 exceeds the maximum current (5 mA) specified by the USB standard, such a USB device is referred to as a non-standard USB device. In a conventional manner, such a non-standard USB The device requires more than two USB ports to supply current simultaneously. [0010] ο However, in the present embodiment, when the USB device 23 is inserted into the USB port 163, its corresponding short circuit detecting circuit 133 detects whether or not the USB device 23 is short-circuited. If a short circuit occurs, the _ path detecting circuit 133 sends a short circuit detecting signal to the USB controller 140, and the USB controller 140 disconnects the USB port 163 from the internal circuit of the electronic device 1, and notifies the USB device 23 that the inserted device is removed. When the USB device 23 is removed, the USB controller 140 restarts the USB port 163. If no short circuit occurs, the total current detecting circuit 120 also detects whether the total current supplied to the USB ports 161, 162, 163 exceeds the rated total current. If the rated total current is exceeded, the total current detecting circuit 120 sends a total current detection result to the USB controller 140, and the USB controller 140 also disconnects the USB port 163 from the internal circuit of the electronic device 1 and notifies the user to remove the inserted USB. Device 23. Also, when the USB device 23 is removed, the USB controller 140 restarts the USB port 163. If the rated total current is not exceeded, the electronic device 1 distributes the power to the USB port 163. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the non-standard USB device 23 requires only one USB port 163 to supply power. Similarly, when the USB device 24 is inserted into the USB port 164, the short detection circuit 134 performs the same detection operation as the total current detecting circuit 120. Also 098125625 Form No. A0101 Page 7 / Total 23 Page 0992043829-0 [0011] 201104398 Just say 'Only when the current required by USB device 24 is less, electronic device 1 has enough power to distribute'. Otherwise, USB The controller 140 cuts off the corresponding USB port according to a preset rule, for example, the last inserted USB port (USB port 164), or the non-standard USB port (USB port 163) 'connects with the circuit inside the electronic device 1 . When the usb device 24 is removed, the USB controller 140 restarts the USB port 164. [0012] Since the short circuit detecting circuits 1 31, 1 3 2, 1 3 3, and 1 3 4 are the same as the internal circuits of the total current detecting circuit 120, in the present embodiment, only the total current detecting circuit 120 is taken as an example. Description, as shown in Figure 3. The total current detecting circuit 12 includes a current/voltage converting circuit 121 and a cold voltage comparing circuit 12 2 . The current/voltage conversion circuit 121 is configured to convert the detected current signal into a voltage signal 'which includes a capacitor C1, a plurality of resistors R1, R2, R3, R4, R5 and an operational amplifier A1. The resistor R1 and the capacitor C1 are connected in parallel between the input terminal (5V) of the total current detecting circuit 120 and the output terminal (node VD1, e). The resistor R2 is connected in series between the negative input terminal of the operational amplifier A1 and the node VMS. R3 is connected in series between the positive input terminal of the operational amplifier A1 and 5V, the resistor R4 is connected between the output terminal of the operational amplifier A1 and the negative input terminal, and the resistor R5 is connected between the positive input terminal of the operational amplifier A1 and the ground terminal. Among them, the resistors R2, R3, R4, and R5 and the operational amplifier A1 constitute a typical amplifying circuit, and the amplification factor depends on the ratio of the resistor R4 to R2. Moreover, the output of the operational amplifier A1 outputs a voltage signal representing the magnitude of the sensed current. The voltage comparison circuit 122 is configured to compare the voltage signal output by the current/voltage conversion circuit 121 with a reference voltage, and output a comparison signal to the USB controller 140, which includes two electric BR6, R7 and a comparator A2. Wherein, ratio 098125625 Form No. A0101 Page 8 / Total 23 Page 0982043829-0 [0013] 201104398 The positive input of Comparator 2 is connected to the output of operational amplifier Α1, and the negative input is grounded via resistor R6 and serves as a reference. The voltage terminal has an output connected to the USB controller 140' and rotates the comparison signal. The resistor 7 is only connected between the power supply terminal and the negative input terminal of the comparator A2. In this embodiment, the resistors R6 and R7 form a voltage dividing circuit for dividing the power supply S (3.3V) of the comparator power supply terminal. The voltage division on the resistor R6 is used as the reference voltage of the comparator A2, that is, 0. 8V. [0014] In the present embodiment, when the USB device is inserted into its corresponding USB port, an instantaneous surge current is generated due to the load capacitance effect, and if not, the live 'total current detecting circuit 12 is not suppressed. 〇 and short-circuit detection circuits Μι, Μ, 133, 134 will malfunction. Therefore, the capacitance ci 甩 is to suppress the rush current generated by the mb device when it is inserted into its corresponding 埠 (crush). Moreover, since the output voltage of the total current detecting circuit 12A is substantially equal to the voltage of its input 'that is, '5V, that is, the voltage difference between the input and output voltages of the total current detecting circuit 丨2〇 is small, so the resistor R1 selects the resistance. Value _ small resistance, for example: 0.1 Ω. The specific working principle is as follows: 〇[0015] When the USB device is inserted into its corresponding 埠, the capacitor C1 is equivalent to a short circuit, then the power supply provided by 5V is all supplied to the capacitor C1 for charging, then no current flows through the resistor R1, correspondingly 'current/voltage conversion The circuit 121 has no output, so the total current detecting circuit 120 ignores the instantaneous surge current. Similarly, the short circuit detecting circuits 131, 132, 133, 134 also do not operate. Since the charging time of the capacitor C1 can be adjusted to match the time when the surge current occurs, when the electronic device 1 is operating normally, the capacitor C1 is charged and saturated, and therefore, a current flows through the resistor R1. If the total current of the USB ports 161, 162, 163, 164 does not exceed the rated total power 098125625 Form No. A0101 Page 9 / Total 23 page 0982043829-0 [0016] 201104398 When the current flows through the resistor R1 is small, then the resistance The divided voltage on R1 is small, and the divided voltage is outputted by the operational amplifier A1 to output a voltage signal to the voltage comparison circuit 122. In the present embodiment, the amplification factor of the operational amplifier A1 is 0.4. In the voltage comparison circuit 122, the positive input terminal of the comparator A2 receives the voltage signal output by the operational amplifier A1. Since the voltage signal is smaller than the negative reference voltage signal, the comparator A2 outputs a low-level total current detection signal. For example: 0V, to the USB controller 140. At this time, the USB controller 140 controls the electronic device 1 to distribute the power to the corresponding USB port based on the received low level total current detection signal. [0017] If the total current of the USB ports 161, 162, 163, 164 exceeds the rated total current, the current flowing through the resistor R1 is large, and the divided voltage on the resistor R1 is large, and the divided voltage is calculated by the operational amplifier A1. A voltage signal is output to the voltage comparison circuit 122. In the voltage comparison circuit 122, the positive input terminal of the comparator A2 receives the voltage signal output by the operational amplifier A1. Since the voltage signal is greater than the negative reference voltage signal at this time, the comparator A2 outputs a high-level total current detection signal. For example: 3. 3V, to the USB controller 140. At this time, the USB controller 140 controls the corresponding relay circuit to cut off the corresponding USB port according to the received high level total current detection signal. [0018] In the present embodiment, the internal circuit architecture of the short circuit detecting circuits 131, 132, 133, and 134 is substantially the same as the internal circuit structure of the total current detecting circuit 120, except that in the current/voltage converting circuit, 5V is replaced by a node DU. Ο point, VDT,. The node is replaced with a node. The working principle of the two is also completely
