[0024] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] Reference Figure 1-3 As shown, the present application provides a power off alarm circuit, including: a first power supply B, a second power supply G, a controller F, a diode D1 and an energy storage capacitor C1, wherein the anode of the diode D1 is connected to the first power supply B and the cathode is connected to the second power supply G, the controller F is connected to the first power supply B and the second power supply G respectively, and the first end of the energy storage capacitor C1 is connected to the second power supply G and the second end is grounded.

[0026] In the embodiment of the present application, a diode D1 is added between the first power supply B and the second power supply G, and the front and rear power supplies (the first power supply B and the second power supply G) are separated by utilizing the principle that the diode D1 cannot conduct in the reverse direction. The energy storage capacitor C1 of the rear stage can only supply power to the second power supply G, thereby achieving the purpose of power-off alarm with a smaller capacity capacitor.

[0027] Exemplarily, it also includes: a load, which is connected to the first power supply B.

[0028] In the embodiment of the present application, loads C, D, and E are directly connected to the first power supply B and can receive electrical energy from the first power supply B to work.

[0029] Exemplarily, it also includes: a third power supply A, which is connected to the first power supply B.

[0030] In the embodiment of the present application, the third power source A is used to input electrical energy to the first power source B.

[0031] Exemplarily, it also includes: an optical line terminal, which is connected to the controller F.

[0032] In the embodiment of the present application, the optical line terminal can issue a power failure alarm after receiving a power failure alarm signal sent by the line. For example, the power failure alarm signal is a specific pulse in the circuit, and the optical line terminal can issue a flashing alarm after receiving the pulse.

[0033] Exemplarily, it also includes: a filter circuit, which is connected to the third power supply A and the first power supply B respectively.

[0034] In the embodiment of the present application, the filter circuit is used to receive the voltage of the third power supply A, and filter out the ripple in the voltage transmitted by the third power supply A, so as to provide more stable power to the first power supply B.

[0035] Exemplarily, it also includes: a voltage divider circuit, which is connected to the first power supply B and the controller F respectively.

[0036] In the embodiment of the present application, the voltage divider circuit can distribute the voltage delivered by the first power supply B into different proportions, and then supply the voltage to the controller F for use.

[0037] Exemplarily, the filtering circuit includes: a second capacitor C2, a first end of the second capacitor C2 is connected to the third power supply A and the first power supply respectively, and a second end of the second capacitor C2 is grounded.

[0038] In the embodiment of the present application, the second capacitor C2 filters the input power supply (third power supply A) to remove high-frequency components in the power supply.

[0039] Exemplarily, the filtering circuit further includes: filtering capacitors C3, C4, C5, and the filtering capacitors C3, C4, C5 are connected in parallel with the second capacitor C2.

[0040] In the embodiment of the present application, the filter capacitors C3, C4, and C5 are used to enhance the effect of the second capacitor C2 in filtering out high-frequency components in the power supply.

[0041] Exemplarily, the voltage divider circuit includes: a first resistor R1 and a second resistor R2, wherein the first end of the first resistor R1 is connected to the first power supply, the second end of the first resistor R1 is respectively connected to the controller and the first end of the second resistor R2, and the second end of the second resistor R2 is grounded.

[0042] In the embodiment of the present application, the voltage of the first power source B is coupled through the first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2 to obtain a power-off alarm signal (dying_gasp signal).

[0043] Exemplarily, the voltage-dividing circuit further includes: a voltage-dividing capacitor C6, and the voltage-dividing capacitor C6 is connected in parallel with the second resistor R2.

[0044] In the embodiment of the present application, the voltage-dividing capacitor C6 is used to keep the voltage on the second resistor R2 stable.

[0045] When the device is powered on, the third power supply A continuously charges the energy storage capacitor C1, and the energy storage capacitor C1 is in an energy storage state; when the device is powered off, the third power supply A stops inputting, the first power supply B (Vcc-Dying) loses power, the loads C, D, and E connected to the first power supply B stop working, and a power-off alarm (dying gasp) signal is sent to the controller F (CPU); the energy storage capacitor C1 starts to discharge, and the second power supply G (VDD) supplies power to the controller F (CPU) for a period of time until the energy of the energy storage capacitor C1 is completely discharged.

[0046] During the period when the energy storage capacitor C1 is discharged, the controller F (CPU) receives a power failure alarm (dying gasp) signal and processes it and uploads it to the optical line terminal, and the optical line terminal implements a power failure alarm.

[0047] The present application utilizes the principle that the diode D1 cannot conduct in the reverse direction, so the energy storage capacitor C1 only supplies power to the controller F (CPU). Therefore, the energy storage requirement of the energy storage capacitor C1 in the present application is much less than the energy required for the power supply to supply power to all loads and controllers after a power outage, so as to achieve the effect of reducing the capacitance.

[0048] A power-off alarm circuit provided in the present application can reduce the capacity of the power-off alarm capacitor and reduce material costs; reduce the use area of ​​the circuit board, improve the space utilization rate of the circuit board, and facilitate layout and routing.
