[0064] Hereinafter, various embodiments according to the present application will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that in the accompanying drawings, the same reference numerals are given to components having substantially the same or similar structures and functions, and repeated descriptions thereof will be omitted.

[0065] To address the problem of false triggering of the electrostatic protection circuit, this application provides the following technical solutions:

[0066] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 As shown, a power supply circuit includes: an anti-backflow module 100, a hot-swap control module 200, and a voltage conversion module 300.

[0067] The backflow prevention module 100 has: a first backflow prevention port 101, a second backflow prevention port 102, and a third backflow prevention port 103; the hot plug control module 200 has: a first hot plug control port 201, a second hot plug control port 202; the voltage conversion module 300 has: a first voltage conversion port 301, a second voltage conversion port 302, and a third voltage conversion port 303.

[0068] The first anti-backflow port 101 is electrically connected to the third voltage conversion port 303, the second anti-backflow port 102 is electrically connected to the first hot plug control port 201, the third anti-backflow port 103 is used to output voltage, the second hot plug control port 202 is electrically connected to the second voltage conversion port 302, and the first voltage conversion port 301 is connected to the input voltage V IN .

[0069] The above power supply circuit is suitable for electronic equipment with redundant design, such as storage servers, redundant power supply equipment, etc. Input voltage V IN The power supply circuit is input by the voltage conversion first port 301, converted into the working voltage of the corresponding electronic device (such as a hard disk) by the voltage conversion module 300, and then output by the voltage conversion third port 303. The anti-backflow third port 103 is connected to the power bus, or the power plane in the board or backplane, to supply power to the corresponding electronic device. The anti-backflow module 100 has the function of preventing current backflow. That is, when the voltage output by the voltage conversion third port 303 is not less than the power bus, or the voltage of the power plane in the board or backplane, the voltage is output to the power bus, or the board or backplane through the anti-backflow third port 103; when the voltage output by the voltage conversion third port 303 is less than the voltage of the power bus, or the voltage of the power plane in the board or backplane, the power bus, or the board or backplane is blocked from outputting voltage to the power supply circuit.

[0070] The power supply circuit is configured to provide redundant power to electrical appliances when the power supply circuit is operating normally. During normal operation, the power supply circuit also has a backflow prevention function. When a power supply circuit requires hot-swap maintenance, after removal preparation, the voltage of the corresponding power supply circuit to be maintained slowly decreases over a preset time, allowing the remaining redundant power supply circuit to take over powering the electrical appliance, ensuring a stable power supply to the appliance.

[0071] The anti-backflow module 100 allows the current to flow in the forward direction, and the forward direction of the current is the direction of the current flowing from the anti-backflow first port 101 to the anti-backflow third port 103. Figure 3 As shown, it includes: an anti-backflow controller 110, an operational amplifier 120, a comparator 130, a first transistor T1, a first resistor R1, a second resistor R2, a third resistor R3, and a fourth resistor R4.

[0072] The backflow prevention controller 110 includes: a first port 111, a second port 112, and a third port 113. The backflow prevention controller 110 is configured such that when the voltage received by the first port 111 is not less than the voltage received by the second port 112, the third port 113 controls the first transistor T1 to turn on, and the third port 103 outputs the voltage received by the first port 101; when the voltage received by the first port 111 is less than the voltage received by the second port 112, the third port 113 controls the first transistor T1 to turn off, thereby preventing the voltage of the third port 103 from flowing back into the voltage conversion module 300.

[0073] Preferably, the backflow prevention controller 110 uses the LM5050 chip of Texas Instruments. The LM5050 has a "VS" pin, a "GND" pin, an "OFF" pin, an "OUT" pin, a "GATE" pin, and an "IN" pin. Accordingly, the "IN" pin of the chip serves as the first port 111 of the backflow prevention controller, the "OUT" pin of the chip serves as the second port 112 of the backflow prevention controller, and the "GATE" pin of the chip serves as the third port 113 of the backflow prevention controller. The top view of the pins of the LM5050 is shown in FIG. Figure 4 shown.

[0074] Schematically, the first transistor T1 may be a P-channel enhancement type MOSFET. Accordingly, the first electrode T 11 is the gate, the second electrode T of the first transistor 12 is the source, the third electrode T 13 Controls the conduction or shutoff of the first transistor T1, that is, controls the first electrode T of the first transistor 11The voltage of the first transistor T 11 , the third electrode T of the first transistor 13 The voltage difference between the two is related to the threshold voltage of the first transistor T1, thereby realizing the turning on or off of the first transistor T1. The turning on or off principle of the transistor is not described in detail here.

[0075] The operational amplifier 120 has: an operational amplifier non-inverting input terminal 121, an operational amplifier inverting input terminal 122, and an operational amplifier output terminal 123; the comparator 130 has: a comparator non-inverting input terminal 131, a comparator inverting input terminal 132, and a comparator output terminal 133; the first transistor T1 has: a first transistor first electrode T 11 , the second electrode T of the first transistor 12 , the third electrode T of the first transistor 13 .

[0076] The third electrode T of the first transistor 13 As the first port 101 for preventing backflow, the second electrode T of the first transistor 12 As the third anti-backflow port 103, the first transistor first electrode T 11 The first port 111 of the anti-backflow controller is electrically connected to the third terminal 113 of the anti-backflow controller, and the third terminal 111 of the first transistor is electrically connected to the third terminal 113 of the anti-backflow controller. 13 The second port 112 of the anti-backflow controller is electrically connected to the second electrode T of the first transistor. 12 Electrically connected, the first transistor third electrode T 13 The first resistor R1 is connected in series with the inverting input terminal 122 of the operational amplifier, and the inverting input terminal 122 of the operational amplifier is also electrically connected to one end of the second resistor R2. The other end of the second resistor R2 is electrically connected to the output terminal 123 of the operational amplifier. 11 The third resistor R3 is connected in series with the op amp non-inverting input terminal 121, which is also electrically connected to one end of the fourth resistor R4. The other end of the fourth resistor R4 is grounded. The op amp output terminal 123 is also electrically connected to the comparator non-inverting input terminal 131. The comparator inverting input terminal 132 is connected to the reference voltage V REF The comparator output terminal 133 serves as the second anti-backflow port 102 .

[0077] The operational amplifier 120 converts the gate-source voltage V GS After conversion, it is sent to the comparator non-inverting input terminal 131 and the reference voltage V connected to the comparator inverting input terminal 132. REF Compare. It is used to indicate whether the first transistor T1 is turned on. The gate-source voltage after conversion is:

[0078]

[0079] Among them, V′GS is the gate-source voltage of the first transistor after conversion by the operational amplifier 120, R1 is the resistance of the first resistor, R2 is the resistance of the second resistor, R3 is the resistance of the third resistor, and R4 is the resistance of the fourth resistor (the resistance values ​​of the resistors are indicated in italics to distinguish them from the reference numerals indicated in regular font, for example, R1 is the resistance of the first resistor R1), V G is the first-electrode voltage of the first transistor, V S The resistance values ​​of the first resistor, the second resistor, the third resistor, and the fourth resistor can be set by those skilled in the art according to actual conditions and are not limited in this application.

[0080] Preferably, the reference voltage V REF The value of can be set to the threshold voltage of the first transistor, such as 1.5V. When the voltage value received by the comparator non-inverting input terminal 131 is greater than 1.5V, it indicates that the first transistor T1 is turned on; otherwise, it indicates that the first transistor T1 is turned off. REF The polarity is set according to the type of the first transistor T1; the reference voltage V REF The specific value of can be set in combination with the resistance values ​​of the first resistor, the second resistor, the third resistor, and the fourth resistor, and the threshold voltage of the first transistor, and is not limited in this application.

[0081] The comparator output terminal 133 outputs a logic level for indicating the on or off state of the first transistor T1. Schematically, a low level indicates that the first transistor T1 is off, and a high level indicates that the first transistor T1 is on.

[0082] Taking the redundant power supply circuit for the hard disk of the storage server as an example, when the hard disk controller is hot-swapped for maintenance, it takes some time for other redundant power supply circuits to take over the power supply of the removed hard disk controller. This will cause a voltage drop at the moment when a hard disk controller is removed, resulting in unstable power supply to the hard disk. The unstable power supply to the hard disk is mainly caused by the following two reasons: (1) It is restricted by the driving speed of the anti-backflow controller 110; (2) The anti-backflow module 100 needs to avoid the impact current generated by turning on too quickly. The use of a hot-swappable control module can effectively improve the problem of unstable power supply to the hard disk.

[0083] like Figure 5 As shown, the hot-swap control module 200 a includes: a complex programmable logic device 210 , a button 220 , and a fifth resistor R5 .

[0084] The complex programmable logic device 210 includes a CPLD first port 211, a CPLD second port 212, and a CPLD third port 213. The button 220 includes a button first port 221, a button second port 222, and a pressing end 223. The pressing end 223 is configured to form an electrical connection between the button first port 221 and the button second port 222 when pressed with a force greater than a predetermined value.

[0085] The CPLD first port 211 serves as the hot-swap control first port 201, the CPLD second port 212 serves as the hot-swap control second port 202, the CPLD third port 213 is electrically connected to the key first port 221, the key second port 222 is grounded, and the CPLD third port 213 is also electrically connected to one end of the fifth resistor R5, and the other end of the fifth resistor R5 is connected to the first power supply V DD .

[0086] Preferably, the hot-swap control second port 202 and the voltage conversion second port 302 are connected via a bidirectional transmission channel.

[0087] Preferably, the bidirectional transmission channel is a power management bus (PMBus), which can transmit signals such as pulse width modulation instructions, input voltage and output voltage of the voltage conversion module.

[0088] When the pressing end 223 is not pressed by a force greater than a preset external force, the CPLD third port 213 is pulled up to the first power source V by the fifth resistor R5. DD Preferably, the first power supply V DD The voltage is 3.3V. The third port 213 of the CPLD is valid at a low level. When the pressing end 223 is pressed by an external force greater than a preset force, an electrical connection is formed between the first port 221 of the key and the second port 222 of the key, and the level received by the third port 213 of the CPLD is pulled low. At this time, the CPLD is notified to prepare for the removal action. The complex programmable logic device 210 sends a modulation signal to the voltage conversion module 300 through the second port 212 of the CPLD, so that the output voltage of the voltage conversion module 300 decreases linearly. When the output voltage of the voltage conversion module 300 drops below the output voltage of the power bus, or the board or backplane, the first transistor T1 is turned off to prevent current backflow. At this time, the power bus, or the board or backplane is powered by other redundant power supply circuits. The voltage converter 300 sends a signal to the complex programmable logic device 210 through the second voltage conversion port 302 to inform the CPLD to reduce the output voltage.

[0089] Preferably, the complex programmable logic device 210 further has a CPLD fourth port 214; the hot-swap control module 200b further includes: a light-emitting diode D LE, the sixth resistor R6, such as Figure 6 The hot swap control module 200b is shown.

[0090] The fourth port 214 of the CPLD is connected to the light emitting diode D LE The anode of the light emitting diode D is electrically connected to LE The cathode is connected in series with a sixth resistor R6 and then grounded.

[0091] When the output voltage of the voltage conversion module 300 drops to the preset voltage, it starts to detect the level state of the hot plug control first port 201. When the level state of the hot plug control first port 201 is low, it means that the first transistor has been turned off. At this time, the complex programmable logic device 210 outputs a signal from the CPLD fourth port 214 to turn on the light emitting diode D LE Lights up to indicate the current status of the power supply circuit.

[0092] Specifically, when the power supply circuit is working normally, power is supplied to the hard disk. The pressing end 223 is not pressed by an external force, and no electrical connection is formed between the first key port 221 and the second key port 222. The third CPLD port 213 and the first CPLD port 211 both receive a high level, the complex programmable logic device 210 sends a low level to the fourth CPLD port 214, and the light emitting diode D LE Not luminous.

The complex programmable logic device 210 sends a modulation signal to the voltage conversion module 300 through the second CPLD port 212, causing the output voltage of the voltage conversion module 300 to decrease linearly within a preset time. In principle, the preset time is 100ms. At the same time, a high level is periodically sent to the fourth CPLD port 214, causing the light-emitting diode D LE Flashing, indicating that the current power supply circuit is being prepared for removal.

[0094] When the output voltage of the voltage conversion module 300 continues to drop, causing the first transistor to be completely turned off, the complex programmable logic device 210 continuously sends a high level to the fourth port 214 of the CPLD, so that the light emitting diode D LE If it is always on, it indicates that the current power supply circuit can be removed. Through the coordinated work of the CPLD's fourth port and the LED, maintenance personnel can understand the working status of the power supply circuit and remove it for maintenance.
