[0014] The signal module includes a voltage sampling unit, a current sampling unit, a temperature sampling unit and an I2C isolation unit. The voltage sampling unit samples the output voltage values ​​of the power output unit 1 and the power output unit 2, the current sampling unit samples the output current values ​​of the power output unit 1 and the power output unit 2, the temperature sampling unit samples the working environment temperature value of the power supply, and the I2C isolation unit isolates and transmits the I2C signals of the main control module and the interface module to improve the stability of communication.

[0015] The core device of the main control module is a single-chip microcomputer, and the specific peripheral implementation includes an ADC unit, an I2C communication unit, and a GPIO unit. The ADC unit receives continuously changing analog signals such as voltage values, current values, and temperature values ​​obtained by the sampling unit in the signal module, and converts them into discrete digital values. The I2C communication unit receives instructions from the host computer and can send various digital values ​​processed by the ADC unit and power supply working status information to the host computer. The GPIO unit detects the communication address code and switch remote control instructions of the interface module, and enables power output unit 1 and power output unit 2.

[0017] The main control module detects the level signal of the switch remote control in the interface module, and then enables the corresponding power output unit to output the corresponding channel voltage.

[0018] The sampling unit of the signal module detects the analog quantity of the power supply and sends it to the ADC unit of the main control module. After being processed by the software filtering algorithm, it is compared with the preset parameter values ​​in the microcontroller to further determine whether the working status of the power supply is normal, and realize real-time monitoring of the working status.
