Problems solved by technology

If the back-end load is too large, it will cause a very large current required by 12V, that is to say, the current from the PSU to the load terminal will be very large
On the one hand, the high current makes the conversion efficiency low. On the other hand, the copper foil size of the motherboard PCB is limited, which leads to the limited 12V current that the PCB can pass through, which eventually leads to the bottleneck of server power increase.

Embodiment 3

[0064] This embodiment provides a server power supply method, the method comprising:

[0065] S1. Collect the load power of the step-down branch and calculate the total load power.

[0066] The DSP collects the voltage value and current value of each step-down branch to obtain the load power of the branch, and calculates the sum of all load powers to be the total load power.

[0067] S2. Calculate the input voltage according to the total load power and the current limit of the main board.

[0068] Obtain the applicable current (determined by the main board) of the server PCB main board, for example, 50A. The input voltage value is the total load power divided by the applicable current. Since the load of the server may change, the input voltage will also change accordingly, so it is necessary to collect the current input voltage of the server in real time.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of servers, and in particular relates to a server power supply and a power supply method. Background technique [0002] With the development of cloud computing applications, informatization has gradually covered all fields of society. People's daily work and life are more and more communicated through the network, and the amount of network data is also increasing. At the same time, the configurations that need to be matched with the server system are also increasing, resulting in a continuous increase in the total power of the system itself. [0003] With the continuous increase of system power, including the increasing power consumption of CPU, memory, GPU, etc., the load of server power supply becomes larger and larger, so the load capacity of server power supply becomes more and more important, and Since the overall size of the server cannot be increased with the increase of power consumption, the power...
