Description

主機板及其電源控制方法 Motherboard and power control method thereof

本發明係關於一種主機板及其電源控制方法,特別是一種可適用於不同電壓之直流電源供應器之主機板及其控制方法。 The invention relates to a motherboard and a power control method thereof, in particular to a motherboard and a control method thereof applicable to DC power supplies of different voltages.

目前市售之筆記型電腦以及部份電腦主機等電腦裝置,係以外接之電源適配器(power adapter)提供一直流電壓輸入作為供應電壓源,且各種筆記型電腦以及電腦主機皆具有一相對應的直流電壓輸入額定規格。目前主流規格以12伏特以及19伏特為主,並以該值的正負10%為可容許的直流電壓輸入範圍。另外,電源適配器與主機之連接器接頭,也存在通用之規格。 Currently, commercially available notebook computers and some computer devices such as computer mainframes are provided with a power adapter that provides a DC voltage input as a supply voltage source, and various notebook computers and computer mainframes have a corresponding one. DC voltage input rated specifications. At present, the mainstream specifications are mainly 12 volts and 19 volts, and the positive and negative 10% of the value is an allowable DC voltage input range. In addition, there are common specifications for the connector of the power adapter and the host.

然而以通用之連接器接頭,而存在不同直流電壓源的情況,卻導致了誤用電源適配器的可能性。尤其是目前許多家庭甚至個別使用者,都擁有一部以上的電腦裝置,因此手邊將同時存在具有通用之連接器接頭,但具不同直流電壓輸出值之電源適配器,而造成誤用不符規格之電源適配器而導致電腦裝置故障的情形。例如以額定輸出19伏特之電源適配器插設於12伏特額定輸入之電腦裝置,如果沒有過壓保護(over-voltage protection)設計,則內部電路元件將由於過壓而造成立即燒毀。而以額定輸出12伏特之電源適配器插設於19伏特額定輸入之電腦裝置,如果沒有欠壓保護(under-voltage protection)設計,輕則電腦裝置無法正常操作,重則由於電路設計上未考慮的使用狀況,使得未知的偏壓造成供應電壓源與接地端之間存在一大電流路徑,亦可能形成元件損毀。 However, the use of universal connector connectors and the presence of different DC voltage sources has led to the possibility of misuse of the power adapter. In particular, many homes and even individual users now have more than one computer device, so there will be a power adapter with a common connector connector but different DC voltage output values at hand, resulting in misuse of the power adapter that does not conform to the specifications. The situation that causes the computer device to malfunction. For example, a power adapter with a rated output of 19 volts is plugged into a 12 volt rated input computer device. If there is no over-voltage protection design, the internal circuit components will be burned out due to overvoltage. The power adapter with a rated output of 12 volts is plugged into a 19 volt rated input computer device. If there is no under-voltage protection design, the computer device cannot operate normally, but the circuit design is not considered for use. The condition causes an unknown bias to cause a large current path between the supply voltage source and the ground, and component damage may also occur.

鑒於以上的問題,本發明係提供一種主機板及其電源控制方法,使主機板可適用於不同之電源供應器,又能保護主機板電路免於因過壓或欠壓所造成之誤動作甚至損毀 的可能。 In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a motherboard and a power control method thereof, so that the motherboard can be applied to different power supplies, and the motherboard circuit can be protected from malfunction or even damage caused by overvoltage or undervoltage.

If the supply voltage source is within the safe voltage range, proceed to the next step.

偵測供應電壓源是否在一第一電壓區間之內。若供應電壓源在第一電壓區間之內,則開啟第一處理單元,利用一電壓轉換電路將供應電壓源轉換為主機板電源。若供應電壓源不在第一電壓區間之內,則開啟第二處理單元,利用處理開關將供應電壓源耦接至主機板電源。 Detect whether the supply voltage source is within a first voltage range. If the supply voltage source is within the first voltage interval, the first processing unit is turned on, and the supply voltage source is converted into the power supply of the motherboard by using a voltage conversion circuit.

在說明書及後續的申請專利範圍當中,「耦接」一詞在此係包含任何直接及間接的電氣連接手段。因此,若文中描述一第一裝置耦接 於一第二裝置,則代表第一裝置可直接電氣連接於第二裝置,或透過其他裝置或連接手段間接地電氣連接至第二裝置。另外,「正相訊號」係為一數位邏輯訊號之狀態,或可理解為一般之數位邏輯訊號狀態「1」,而「反相訊號」係為另一數位邏輯訊號之狀態,或可理解為一般之數位邏輯訊號狀態「0」。 In the context of the specification and subsequent patent applications, the term "coupled" is used herein to include any direct and indirect electrical connection. Therefore, if a first device is coupled In a second device, the first device can be directly electrically connected to the second device, or indirectly connected to the second device through other devices or connection means. In addition, the "positive signal" is a state of a digital logic signal, or can be understood as a general digital logic signal state "1", and the "inverted signal" is the state of another digital logic signal, or can be understood as The general digital logic signal status is "0".

第1圖為本發明所揭露一實施例之主機板100及其電源控制電路之示意圖。主機板100可適用於不同電壓之直流電源供應器,並於主機板電源端160產生主機板電源以供其內部電路之電源需求。主機板100包括保護單元110、偵測單元120、第一處理單元130、以及第二處理單元140。 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a motherboard 100 and a power control circuit thereof according to an embodiment of the present invention. The motherboard 100 can be applied to DC power supplies of different voltages, and the power supply of the motherboard is generated at the power supply terminal 160 of the motherboard for the power supply requirements of its internal circuits. The motherboard 100 includes a protection unit 110, a detection unit 120, a first processing unit 130, and a second processing unit 140.

如第1圖所示,保護單元110具有保護輸入端111以及保護輸出端112,保護輸入端111耦接於供應電壓源,且當供應電壓源之電壓值在一安全電壓區間之內,保護輸出端112耦接至保護輸入端111,而當供應電壓源之電壓值不在一安全電壓區間之內,保護輸出端112不耦接至保護輸入端111。例如目前一般筆記型電腦裝置所使用之電源適配器,其直流電壓輸出主要有12伏特以及19伏特兩種規格。以一般額定電壓之正負10%為規格可容許之實際電壓值,額定12伏特之實際電壓下限為10.8伏特,額定19伏特之實際電壓上限為20.9伏特。 As shown in FIG. 1 , the protection unit 110 has a protection input terminal 111 and a protection output terminal 112. The protection input terminal 111 is coupled to the supply voltage source, and protects the output when the voltage value of the supply voltage source is within a safe voltage range. The terminal 112 is coupled to the protection input 111, and the protection output 112 is not coupled to the protection input 111 when the voltage value of the supply voltage source is not within a safe voltage interval. For example, the current power adapters used in general notebook computers have a DC voltage output of mainly 12 volts and 19 volts. The actual voltage value that can be tolerated by the normal rated negative voltage of 10% is the actual voltage lower limit of 10.8 volts, and the actual voltage upper limit of 19 volts is 20.9 volts.

因此,若以本發明所揭露之主機板100設計可同時適用於12伏特以及19伏特之直流供應電壓源,則安全電壓區間可定義為10.8伏特與20.9伏特之間,當輸入之供應電壓源之電壓在此安全電壓區間之內,保護單元110即以一開關元件將其保護輸出端112耦接至保護輸入端111,以供後續電路之電源需求。另一方面,若供應電壓源之電壓大於20.9伏特之直流電壓,即為「過壓」(over-voltage)之狀況,若小於10.8伏特之直流電壓,即為「欠壓」(under-voltage)之狀況,兩者皆可能造成主機板電路的誤動作甚至損毀。此時,保護輸出端112不耦接至保護輸入端111,以保護主機板電路免於誤動作甚至損毀之可能。 Therefore, if the motherboard 100 design disclosed in the present invention can be applied to both a 12 volt and a 19 volt DC supply voltage source, the safe voltage interval can be defined as between 10.8 volts and 20.9 volts when the input voltage source is input. The voltage is within the safe voltage range, and the protection unit 110 couples its protection output 112 to the protection input terminal 111 with a switching element for power supply of the subsequent circuit. On the other hand, if the voltage of the supply voltage source is greater than the DC voltage of 20.9 volts, it is an "over-voltage" condition. If the DC voltage is less than 10.8 volts, it is "under-voltage". In both cases, both of them may cause malfunction or even damage to the motherboard circuit. At this time, the protection output terminal 112 is not coupled to the protection input terminal 111 to protect the motherboard circuit from the possibility of malfunction or even damage.

如第1圖所示,偵測單元120具有電源偵測輸入端121以及偵測輸出端122,電源偵測輸入端121耦接於保護輸出端112,且當電源偵測輸入端121之電壓值在第一電壓區間之內,偵測輸出端122輸出第一控制 訊號,而當電源偵測輸入端121之電壓值在第二電壓區間之內,偵測輸出端122輸出第二控制訊號。例如本發明所揭露之主機板100其內部電路以12伏特作為供應電壓之額定值,因此設計上可以容許之規格上限為13.2伏特。 As shown in FIG. 1, the detecting unit 120 has a power detecting input terminal 121 and a detecting output terminal 122. The power detecting input terminal 121 is coupled to the protection output terminal 112, and when the power detecting input terminal 121 has a voltage value. Within the first voltage interval, the detection output 122 outputs the first control The signal is detected, and when the voltage value of the power detecting input terminal 121 is within the second voltage range, the detecting output terminal 122 outputs the second control signal. For example, the motherboard 100 disclosed in the present invention has an internal circuit with a rated voltage of 12 volts, so the upper limit of the design can be tolerated to be 13.2 volts.

因此,偵測單元120係用以偵測供應電壓源之電壓,亦即當此電壓小於13.2伏特,即判斷該電壓值在第二電壓區間之內,供應電壓源可直接供應給主機板100之內部電路來應用,不需以額外的降壓電路進行處理而造成不必要的功耗,此時偵測輸出端122輸出第二控制訊號以控制後續對應之處理單元;而當此電壓大於13.2伏特,即判斷該電壓值在第一電壓區間之內,需要經過降壓之處理為額定之12伏特,方可供應給主機板100之內部電路來應用,此時偵測輸出端122則輸出第一控制訊號以控制後續對應之處理單元。 Therefore, the detecting unit 120 is configured to detect the voltage of the supply voltage source, that is, when the voltage is less than 13.2 volts, that is, the voltage value is determined to be within the second voltage interval, and the supply voltage source can be directly supplied to the motherboard 100. The internal circuit is applied, and unnecessary power consumption is not required to be processed by the extra buck circuit. At this time, the detection output terminal 122 outputs a second control signal to control the subsequent corresponding processing unit; and when the voltage is greater than 13.2 volts That is, the voltage value is determined to be within the first voltage range, and needs to be subjected to the step-down processing to a rated voltage of 12 volts before being applied to the internal circuit of the motherboard 100, and the detection output terminal 122 outputs the first Control signals to control subsequent processing units.

如第1圖所示,第一處理單元130具有第一電壓源輸入端131、第一控制端132、第一電壓源輸出端133、以及電壓轉換電路(圖中未示),第一電壓源輸入端131耦接至保護輸出端112,第一電壓源輸出端133耦接至主機板電源端160,第一控制端132耦接至偵測輸出端122,電壓轉換電路其輸入耦接至第一電壓源輸入端131,其輸出耦接至第一電壓源輸出端133,當第一控制端132接收前述之第一控制訊號,開啟電壓轉換電路將第一電壓源輸入端131之電壓轉換並輸出至第一電壓源輸出端133。例如供應電壓源之電壓界於13.2伏特與20.9伏特之間之第一電壓區間,此時第一控制訊號開啟電壓轉換電路,將供應電壓源轉換為12伏特之電壓至主機板電源端160,以供主機板100之內部電路來應用。 As shown in FIG. 1, the first processing unit 130 has a first voltage source input terminal 131, a first control terminal 132, a first voltage source output terminal 133, and a voltage conversion circuit (not shown), the first voltage source. The input terminal 131 is coupled to the protection output terminal 112, the first voltage source output end 133 is coupled to the motherboard power supply terminal 160, the first control terminal 132 is coupled to the detection output terminal 122, and the voltage conversion circuit has its input coupled to the a voltage source input terminal 131, the output of which is coupled to the first voltage source output terminal 133. When the first control terminal 132 receives the first control signal, the voltage conversion circuit turns on the voltage of the first voltage source input terminal 131 and converts Output to the first voltage source output 133. For example, the voltage of the supply voltage source is in a first voltage interval between 13.2 volts and 20.9 volts. At this time, the first control signal turns on the voltage conversion circuit, and converts the supply voltage source into a voltage of 12 volts to the power supply terminal 160 of the motherboard. It is applied to the internal circuit of the motherboard 100.

另外,電壓轉換電路可以是線性穩壓器(liner regulator),係利用線性電路將其輸入電壓降壓而成為一具有供電能力之輸出電壓源。電壓轉換電路亦可以是切換式電壓轉換電路(switching voltage converter),係利用時脈寬度調變(pulse-width modulation,PWM)之原理以及低導通阻抗之開關元件,配合控制電路進行降壓,其與線性穩壓器相比,具有較高的轉換效率,可減少操作溫度上升的程度,故可簡化散熱相關的設計,然而其頻繁切換的動作可能造成系統電磁干擾(electro-magnetic interference,EMI)之問題,另外其所需之附加元件較多,因此成本與所需空間皆較線性穩壓 器來得大。以上所舉電壓轉換電路之實現方式,皆為本領域之通常知識,故在此不再加以贅述。再者,本段係作為電壓轉換電路之舉例說明,並不用以限定本發明所揭露之範圍,在本領域具有通常知識者,皆可根據其應用上實際的需求、設計時的成本考量、以及先進技術所引進的改良元件等,並根據本發明所揭露的精神,據以實施本發明。 In addition, the voltage conversion circuit can be a linear regulator, which uses a linear circuit to step down its input voltage to become an output voltage source with power supply capability. The voltage conversion circuit can also be a switching voltage converter, which uses a pulse-width modulation (PWM) principle and a low on-resistance switching element to perform a step-down with the control circuit. Compared with linear regulators, it has higher conversion efficiency and can reduce the increase of operating temperature, so it can simplify the design related to heat dissipation. However, the frequent switching action may cause electromagnetic interference (electro-magnetic interference, EMI). The problem, in addition to the more additional components required, so the cost and space required are more linearly regulated The device is big. The implementation manners of the voltage conversion circuits mentioned above are all common knowledge in the art, and therefore will not be further described herein. Furthermore, this paragraph is illustrative of the voltage conversion circuit and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can, depending on the actual needs of the application, the cost considerations of the design, and The present invention has been implemented in accordance with the spirit of the present invention in terms of improved components and the like introduced by advanced technology.

如第1圖所示,第二處理單元140具有第二電壓源輸入端141、第二控制端142、第二電壓源輸出端143、以及處理開關(圖中未示),第二電壓源輸入端141耦接至保護輸出端112,第二電壓源輸出端143耦接至主機板電源端160,第二控制端142耦接至偵測輸出端122,所述之處理開關其通道耦接於第二電壓源輸入端141與第二電壓源輸出端143之間,其控制端耦接至第二控制端142,當第二控制端142接收前述之第二控制訊號,導通處理開關使第二電壓源輸出端143耦接至第二電壓源輸入端141;而當供應電壓源之電壓界於10.8伏特與13.2伏特之間之第二電壓區間,此時由於電壓值能符合主機板之內部電路所能接受之電壓規格,因此第二控制訊號導通處理開關,將供應電壓源耦接至主機板電源端160,以供主機板100之內部電路來應用。 As shown in FIG. 1, the second processing unit 140 has a second voltage source input terminal 141, a second control terminal 142, a second voltage source output terminal 143, and a processing switch (not shown), and a second voltage source input.

舉例說明,保護參考電壓250為2.5伏特,第一比較器260係用以比較供應電壓源之電壓是否大於額定19伏特之規格上限,而第二比較器270則用以比較供應電壓源之電壓是否小於額定12伏特之規格下限。實際應用上,若以可取得之電阻器實現各分壓電阻,可以選取第一分壓電阻210為1百萬歐姆,第二分壓電阻220為137千歐姆,則第一比較器260之比較臨界值為20.8伏特,接近額定19伏特之規格上限,亦即當供應電壓源之電壓大於20.8伏特,第一比較器260輸出反相訊號0,而當供應電壓源之電壓小於20.8伏特,第一比較器260輸出正相訊號1。另外,選取第三分壓電阻230為1百萬歐姆,第四分壓電阻240為300千歐姆,則第二比較器270之比較臨界值為10.8伏特,即為額定12伏特之規格下限,亦即當供應電壓源之電壓大於10.8伏特,第二比較器270輸出正相訊號1,而當供應電壓源之電壓大於10.8伏特,第二比較器270輸出反相訊號0。 For example, the protection reference voltage 250 is 2.5 volts, the first comparator 260 is used to compare whether the voltage of the supply voltage source is greater than the upper limit of the specification of 19 volts, and the second comparator 270 is used to compare whether the voltage of the supply voltage source is compared.

The threshold value is 20.8 volts, which is close to the upper limit of the specification of 19 volts, that is, when the voltage of the supply voltage source is greater than 20.8 volts, the first comparator 260 outputs the inverted signal 0, and when the voltage of the supply voltage source is less than 20.8 volts, the first Comparator 260 outputs a positive phase signal of one. In addition, the third voltage dividing resistor 230 is selected to be 1 million ohms, and the fourth voltage dividing resistor 240 is 300 kilo ohms. The comparison threshold value of the second comparator 270 is 10.8 volts, which is the lower specification limit of the rated 12 volts.

進一步說明,保護開關控制電路280則根據第一比較器260以及第二比較器270之輸出,來決定所述之保護開關控制訊號。例如,當第一比較器260及第二比較器270之輸出同時為反相訊號0,即表示供應電壓源之電壓界於10.8伏特與20.8伏特之間,故保護開關控制訊號控制導通保護開關290,將供應電壓源耦接至保護輸出端112。否則表示供應電壓源 之電壓並不界於10.8伏特與20.8伏特之間,故保護開關控制訊號控制截止保護開關290,以隔絕電源供應器與主機板電源端160,保護主機板電路免於誤動作甚至損毀之可能。 Further, the protection switch control circuit 280 determines the protection switch control signal based on the outputs of the first comparator 260 and the second comparator 270. For example, when the outputs of the first comparator 260 and the second comparator 270 are both inverted signals 0, that is, the voltage of the supply voltage source is between 10.8 volts and 20.8 volts, the protection switch control signal control is turned on the protection switch 290.

The potential coupling resistor 360 is coupled between the protection input terminal 111 and the control terminal of the control switch 380. The cutoff resistor 370 is coupled between the protection input terminal 111 and the protection switch control output terminal 283. The open-circuit output stage of the first and second comparators 260, 270 and the potential coupling resistor 360 form a wired-AND configuration, that is, as long as the first and second comparators 260, 270 An output is an inverted signal 0, that is, an inverted signal 0 is formed on the control terminal of the control switch 380, and the channel of the control switch 380 is further turned off, and the protection switch control output 283 is coupled to the protection input terminal 111 via the off resistor 370. And further, the protection switch 390 of the P-type metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor is turned off. When the outputs of the first and second comparators 260 and 270 are both positive phase signals 1, a positive phase signal 1 is formed on the control terminal of the control switch 380, and the voltage thereof is the voltage of the protection input terminal 111, and is further turned on. The protection switch output 283 is coupled to the ground, that is, the voltage is 0 volts, thereby turning on the protection switch 390 of the P-type metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor, and coupling the supply voltage source to the protection output.
