Problems solved by technology

[0006] Although the prior art has had the above-mentioned various developments, the monitoring of the equipment in the computer is limited to the monitoring circuit on the computer motherboard, and the monitoring of the device on the AGP is not solved, such as the monitoring of the important chip GPU operating voltage on the AGP board, the AGP On-board high-heating GPU chip cooling fan monitoring, AGP board fans have no speed adjustment, and there is no way to know their status. The temperature of the GPU on the AGP has nothing to do with the fan speed. The fan speed cannot be automatically adjusted according to the temperature. The fan is always running at full speed. state, there is some noise

[0059] 10-digit counting, the minimum temperature resolution is 0.125 degrees ...

Embodiment 2

[0066] Invented circuit principles such as image 3 , In this example, lead SMBDAT and SMBCLK from the computer SMBus to the monitoring circuit on the computer AGP board, connect the SMBus of the chip to the SDA and SCL of the circuit W83L785. The W83L785 used in the AGP device monitoring circuit is often used in the hardware monitoring circuit of the notebook computer. The device address of the W83L785 is 0101101. It can monitor parameters including: voltage, temperature, fan speed, etc. It has a built-in 8-bit ADC and provides 2 sets of PWM output control. Fan speed, providing SMI#, OUT# signal and GPIO, with I2C / compatible SMBus interface, through the application software and BIOS, the user can monitor all parameters at any time, and send a warning message when the parameter exceeds the limit, and the user can set the parameter high, lower limit.

[0067] The main functions of W83L785 are as follows:

[0068] 2 temperature measurement channels, TDX1, TDX2, support semicon...

Abstract

A method using SMBus chip to monitor component on AGP plate and its device, which relates to bus in computer and application of its chip. The method is extending SMBus node and using SMBus chip on AGP plate, to measure the parameters of figure processor such as voltage, speed of fan, temperature, using temperature as feedback signal input the monitoring chip and calculation and control of output, forming closed ring by controlling fan speed through magnifying driving circuit. The device comprises of monitoring chip on AGP plate, temperature sensor, magnifying driving circuit, fan, power source, circuit for measuring rotating speed, voltage dividing circuit. SMBus, fastener and radiating plate. It has the useful effect that the combinated monitoring AGP plate can measurement and control rotation of GPU cooling fan on the control plate, decrease noise, environmental protection and energy saving.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the expansion and application of the bus and its components in a computer, in particular to a method and device for monitoring the components on an AGP board with a system management bus (SMBus) integrated circuit chip. Background technique [0002] AGP AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port) graphics acceleration interface is a widely used display card interface technology, which can greatly improve the display capability of 3D graphics. Major display card manufacturers have launched a large number of AGP display card products, and there are many motherboards with AGP interface. According to There are AGPX1, AGPX2, AGPX4, AGPX8 specifications proposed successively. Although the graphics processing capability of PCs is getting stronger and stronger, the performance of the PC platform is still limited to complete detailed large-scale 3D graphics rendering. In order to make the 3D application capabilities of PCs comparable to graphics wo...
