Problems solved by technology

[0005] Although the prior art has had the above-mentioned various developments, the monitoring of equipment in the computer is limited to the monitoring circuit on the computer motherboard, and the monitoring of devices on the PCI is not solved, such as important chip operating voltage monitoring on the PCI board, PCI board Monitor the cooling fan of the high-heating chip. There is no speed adjustment of the fans on the PCI board, and there is no way to know their status. The temperature of the device on the PCI has nothing to do with the fan speed. The fan speed cannot be automatically adjusted according to the temperature. there is some noise

Embodiment 1

[0049] Such as image 3 , In this example, the computer uses an Intel desktop motherboard, the model is D865PESO, and the motherboard has 3 PCI slots. There is an SMBus bus expansion interface on the No. 2 PCI slot of the motherboard, from which SMBCLK and SMBDAT are connected to the PCI equipment monitoring device , that is to connect the 7 pins and 8 pins of LM63. The LM63 chip is used as the monitoring chip in the circuit. Here LM63 is a slave device on the SMBus bus. The device address of LM63 is 1001 100. The main functions of LM63 are as follows:

[0050] Use 2N3904 transistor or PN junction temperature measurement, D+, D- terminal input

[0051] Automatic correction of self-heating effects

[0052] ·Support P4 or P4-m processor's built-in diode temperature measurement method

Abstract

The invention discloses an approach and equipment of using SMBus chip monitor device. It relates to bus extension and chip application. The invention is to extend SMBus node. Using SMBus chip on PCI board; device parameters such as pressure, rotate speed and temperature are measured. Temperature signal is served as feedback to input chip and computed and controlled inside chip. Through amplification driver circuit, fan rotate speed is controlled to form closed loop. The equipment is made up with monitor chip on PCI board, temperature sensor, amplification driver circuit, fan, power supply, rotate speed measure matching circuit, voltage division circuit and SMBus. Merits of the invention are: being able to monitor PCI board, such as monitoring and controlling fan's rotate, reducing noise, protecting environment and being helpful to manager computer device by communicating with computer through SMBus.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the expansion and application of the serial bus and its devices in computers, in particular to a method and device for monitoring devices with a system management bus (also known as SMBus bus) integrated circuit chip on a PCI board. Background technique [0002] PCI bus The PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) bus is a computer local bus independent of the CPU. It adopts a unique intermediate buffer design, which can directly hang high-speed peripheral devices such as display cards, sound cards, network cards, and hard disk controllers on the CPU bus. In fact, many of these boards have cooling fans that spin at a constant speed, and 5 PCI expansion slots are usually allowed on the computer. When Intel released the 486 processor in 1992, it also proposed a 32-bit PCI bus. The earliest proposed PCI bus works at a frequency of 33MHz, and the transmission bandwidth reaches 133MB / s. With the requirement for higher performance, a...
