[0046] In the description of the present application, the description with reference to terms such as "one embodiment", "some embodiments", "schematic embodiments", "examples", "specific examples", or "some examples", etc. means that the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described in connection with the embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of the present application. In this specification, the schematic expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described can be combined in a suitable manner in any one or more embodiments or examples.
[0047] As Figure 1As shown in the figure, the power supply system of the present application includes a main power stage module 100, a secondary power stage module 110, a multiphase controller 120, and a fault analysis system 130. The main power stage module 100 and the secondary power stage module 110 are connected through their respective ISHARE pins. The main power stage module 100 and the multiphase controller 120 are connected through their respective IMON pins, TMON pins, and PWM pins. The secondary power stage module 110 and the multiphase controller 120 are connected through their respective TMON pins and PWM pins. The fault analysis system 130 is electrically connected to the IMON pins of the main power stage module 100 and the secondary power stage module 110 respectively.
[0048] It should be noted that, as Figure 2 shown, the fault analysis system 130 can be set separately and is not integrated inside the power supply system, as long as it can establish communication with the main power stage module 100 and the secondary power stage module 110. Specifically, the fault analysis system 130 is electrically connected to the respective IMON pins of the main power stage module 100 and the secondary power stage module 110, and then obtains the output signals of the IMON pins.
[0049] It should be noted that in a power supply system provided with a CPU and a GPU, a multiphase controller 120 is required, and a corresponding number of smart power stage (intelligent power stage module) is equipped according to the number of phases of the multiphase controller 120. However, with the increasing demand for the power supply of various chips, the power requirements for the corresponding intelligent power stage modules are getting higher and higher, which requires more and more intelligent power stage modules to be configured, while it is difficult for the controller to infinitely increase the number of phases.
[0050] In practical applications, as Figure 3 shown, when the number of phases of the multiphase controller is less than the number of intelligent power stage modules, the multiphase controller needs a PWM output pin to drive multiple intelligent power stage modules. That is, when a waveform is output from the PWM output pin, multiple intelligent power stage modules will be driven simultaneously. At this time, each of the multiple intelligent power stage modules still needs to report current (the corresponding pin of the intelligent power stage module is IMON), temperature (the corresponding pin of the intelligent power stage module is TMON), and other alarm types, such as over-temperature, over-current, and short circuit.
[0051] At present, the IMON pins of the intelligent power stage modules in most similar applications are divided by voltage through a series resistor, and the average IMON signal is output to the multiphase controller 120. However, when a fault occurs in the power supply system, it is difficult to know which intelligent power stage module has a problem and what exactly the problem is. The fault determination method of the embodiment of the present application solves this problem and can achieve rapid determination of the fault, providing a guarantee for the rapid solution of the fault.

[0073] It should be noted that when the main power stage module 100 and the secondary power stage module 110 are in the normal working state, both the first AC pin and the second AC pin are used to transmit the difference of the IMON signals of each intelligent power stage module for current balance.

[0076] Receiving a first AC signal through the first AC pin, where the first AC signal is output by the secondary power stage module 110 through the second AC pin;
[0077] Outputting a second fault signal from the second fault pin according to the first AC signal.

[0080] Next, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 to describe the fault determination method according to the embodiment of the present application.
[0081] It can be understood that, as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 shown, a fault determination method is provided, which is applied to the fault analysis system 130. The fault analysis system 130 is electrically connected to the secondary power stage module 110 and the main power stage module 100 respectively. The fault determination method includes:
[0082] Obtaining a first fault signal output by the secondary power stage module 110 and a second fault signal output by the main power stage module 100;
[0083] Analyzing the first fault signal and the second fault signal to obtain an analysis result, and determining the fault module and the fault type according to the analysis result.
[0084] It can be understood that analyzing the first fault signal and the second fault signal to obtain an analysis result, and determining the fault module and the fault type according to the analysis result includes:
[0085] When the first fault signal is a first voltage value and the second fault signal is a second voltage value, the secondary power stage module 110 corresponding to the first fault signal is determined as the fault module, and the fault type is determined as overcurrent;
[0086] When the first fault signal is the third voltage value and the second fault signal is the second voltage value, the sub - power - stage module 110 corresponding to the first fault signal is determined as the faulty module, and the fault type is determined to be a short - circuit;
[0087] When the first fault signal is the fourth voltage value and the second fault signal is the second voltage value, the sub - power - stage module 110 corresponding to the first fault signal is determined as the faulty module, and the fault type is determined to be over - temperature.
[0088] It should be noted that the first voltage value can be 3.1V and the second voltage value can be 3.3V.
[0089] It should be noted that the third voltage value can be 2.9V.
[0090] It should be noted that the fourth voltage value can be 2.7V.
[0091] It should be noted that the fault analysis system 130 is electrically connected to the first fault pin of the sub - power - stage module 110 and the second fault pin of the main - power - stage module 100 respectively.
[0092] It should be noted that the fault analysis system 130 can be set as a multimeter. By connecting the probes of the multimeter to the first fault pin and the second fault pin, the corresponding voltage values can be measured.
[0093] It should be noted that the fault analysis system 130 can also be set as a test platform. By building the test platform to obtain the first fault signal and the second fault signal, the first fault signal and the second fault signal can be analyzed to obtain the analysis result.
[0094] First, when a fault event occurs in the secondary power stage module 110 itself, the first fault pin of the secondary power stage module 110 outputs a first fault signal. At the same time, the second AC pin of the secondary power stage module 110 outputs a first AC signal. Secondly, the first AC pin of the primary power stage module 100 obtains the first AC signal and, based on the first AC signal, outputs a second fault signal through the second fault pin. Finally, the fault analysis system 130 analyzes the first fault signal and the second fault signal to obtain an analysis result, and determines the fault module and the fault type according to the analysis result. In the fault determination method of the present application, by separately obtaining and analyzing the first fault signal and the second fault signal, and quickly determining the fault module and the fault type based on the first fault signal and the second fault signal, even if the secondary power stage module 110 and the primary power stage module 100 are connected in parallel and controlled by the same drive signal, when a fault occurs, it is possible to quickly determine whether the fault module is the secondary power stage module 110 or the primary power stage module 100, and the corresponding fault type, thereby enabling the problem caused by the fault module to be solved more quickly. Therefore, the fault determination method of the present application can achieve quick determination of faults and provide guarantee for quick solution of faults.
[0095] The following further describes the fault determination method of the embodiments of the present application in conjunction with Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 the following.
[0096] First, the fault types are set to three categories, namely overcurrent, short circuit, and overtemperature. When the secondary power stage module 110 self-checks and finds that it has a fault, the IMON pin of the secondary power stage module 110 will emit a first fault signal. At the same time, the ISHARE pin of the secondary power stage module 110 will emit a first AC signal. When the ISHARE pin of the primary power stage module 100 receives the first AC signal, the IMON pin of the primary power stage module 100 will output a second fault signal. By measuring the first fault signal and the second fault signal and analyzing the magnitudes of the first fault signal and the second fault signal, the operator can quickly know that the fault occurs in the secondary power stage module 110.
[0097] Similarly, as Figure 3As shown, when there are multiple secondary power stage modules 110, for example, a first secondary module and a second secondary module respectively, when the first secondary module self-checks and finds a fault in itself, the IMON pin of the first secondary module will send out a first fault signal. At the same time, the ISHARE pin of the first secondary module will send out a first AC signal. The ISHARE pins of the main power stage module 100 and the second secondary module receive the first AC signal respectively. The IMON pin of the main power stage module 100 outputs a second fault signal, and the IMON pin of the second secondary module outputs a third fault signal. Moreover, the third fault signal and the second fault signal are of the same magnitude. By measuring the first fault signal of the first secondary module, the second fault signal of the main power stage module 100, and the third fault signal of the second secondary module and analyzing them, the operator can quickly know that it is the first secondary module that has a fault.
