[0049] Based on the above first embodiment, in this embodiment, the signal output controller 200 includes: a signal conversion sub-controller 201 , a peripheral communication sub-controller 202 , and an interface output sub-controller 203 .

The peripheral communication sub-controller 202 controls the signal output of the interface output sub-controller 203 on the one hand, and provides a stable power supply for the interface output sub-controller 203 on the other hand.

[0052] The signal conversion sub-controller 201 is used to output the data transmission signal and the video display signal corresponding to the USB signal to the interface output sub-controller 203 when receiving the USB signal.

[0053] In a specific implementation, the signal conversion sub-controller 201 can parse the USB signal when receiving the USB signal input by the interface conversion controller 100, convert the USB signal into a data transmission signal and a video display signal, and then output the data transmission signal and the video display signal to the interface output sub-controller 203.

[0058] The input end of the second signal conversion sub-controller 2012 is connected to the output end of the interface conversion controller 100, the output end of the second signal conversion sub-controller 2012 is respectively connected to the input end of the first interface output sub-controller 2031 and the input end of the second interface output sub-controller 2032, the control end of the second interface output sub-controller 2032 is connected to the output end of the peripheral communication sub-controller 202, and the output end of the second interface output sub-controller 2032 is connected to the second Type-C interface 302.

[0059] It should be noted that the first signal conversion sub-controller 2011 may be a controller that allows a user to expand multiple USB ports through a single USB interface, such as ASM2074.

[0060] It is understandable that the second signal conversion sub-controller 2012 may be a converter chip for converting USB signals into video display signals, such as a USB to DP DL-7400 host controller.

[0061] It should be noted that both the first interface output sub-controller 2031 and the second interface output sub-controller 2032 can be controllers that combine a multiplexer and a signal retimer, such as the model PS8838. When PS8838 is used, both the first interface output sub-controller 2031 and the second interface output sub-controller 2032 can have a retimer signal enhancement function, which can enhance the signal output through the first Type-C interface 301 and the second Type-C interface 302, reduce signal attenuation and interference, and thus provide a higher quality signal output.

The above-mentioned peripheral communication sub-controller 202 can send a detection signal to the external device through the CC signal line, and the external device can respond to the detection signal. When the external device is a composite device that supports data communication and video display, a response signal representing the type of the composite device is fed back to the peripheral communication sub-controller 202. When the peripheral communication sub-controller 202 receives the response signal representing the type of the composite device, it can control the interface output sub-controller 203 to output the data transmission signal and the video display signal to the external device through the Type-C interface 300.

[0065] In this embodiment, the peripheral communication sub-controller 202 is also used to control the interface output sub-controller 203 to output the data transmission signal to the external device through the Type-C interface 300 when receiving a response signal representing the USB device type output by the external device.

[0066] In a specific implementation, when the above-mentioned peripheral communication sub-controller 202 receives a response signal representing the USB device type output by an external device, it determines that the external device supports data communication but does not support video display.

[0067] The peripheral communication sub-controller 202 is also used to control the interface output sub-controller 203 to output the video display signal to the external device through the Type-C interface 300 when receiving a response signal indicating the DP device type output by the external device.

[0068] In a specific implementation, when the above-mentioned peripheral communication sub-controller 202 receives a response signal representing the display port (DisplayPort, DP) device type output by an external device, it determines that the external device supports video display but does not support data transmission. At this time, it can control the interface output sub-controller 203 to output the video display signal to the external device through the Type-C interface 300.

[0069] Among them, when the first Type-C interface 301 is connected to an external device, the peripheral communication sub-controller 202 controls the first interface output sub-controller 2031 to output a data transmission signal or a video display signal to the external device. When the second Type-C interface 302 is connected to an external device, the peripheral communication sub-controller 202 controls the second interface output sub-controller 2032 to output a data transmission signal or a video display signal to the external device. When both the first Type-C interface 301 and the second Type-C interface 302 are connected to external devices, the peripheral communication sub-controller 202 controls the first interface output sub-controller 2031 and the second interface output sub-controller 2032 to output a data transmission signal or a video display signal.

[0070] Further, refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 The third structural diagram of the second embodiment of the mainboard of the utility model is provided. In this embodiment, the mainboard further includes: a power management module 400.

[0071] Although some of the connection relationships are not shown in the diagram, the output end of the power management module 400 is respectively connected to the power supply end of the interface conversion controller 100, the power supply end of the first signal conversion sub-controller 2011, the power supply end of the second signal conversion sub-controller 2012, the power supply end of the peripheral communication sub-controller 202, the power supply end of the first interface output sub-controller 2031, the power supply end of the second interface output sub-controller 2031, the first Type-C interface 301 and the second Type-C interface 302.

[0072] In a specific implementation, when the mainboard is connected to the PCIE interface 101, after power-on, the power management module 400 can filter the power supply voltage input by the PCIE interface 101, and use the filtered voltage to power the interface conversion controller 100, the first signal conversion sub-controller 2011, the second signal conversion sub-controller 2012, the peripheral communication sub-controller 202, the first interface output sub-controller 2031, the second interface output sub-controller 2031, the first Type-C interface 301 and the second Type-C interface 302.

[0078] The peripheral communication sub-controller 202 is further configured to output a charging enable signal to the power chip 500 upon receiving a charging response signal output by the external device.

[0079] In a specific implementation, the above-mentioned peripheral communication sub-controller 202 can communicate with the external device through the CC signal line, determine the charging voltage required by the external device according to the charging response signal fed back by the external device, and then generate an enable signal corresponding to the charging voltage through internal logic to the power chip 500.

[0080] The power chip 500 is used to output a charging voltage to charge the external device through the Type-C interface 300 when receiving the charging enable signal.

[0081] In a specific implementation, after receiving the charging enable signal, the power chip 500 can output the charging voltage to the external device through the Type-C interface 300 to charge the external device. When the first Type-C interface 301 is connected to the external device, the power chip 500 outputs the charging voltage through the first Type-C interface 301. When the second Type-C interface 302 is connected to the external device, the power chip 500 outputs the charging voltage through the first Type-C interface 301. When both the first Type-C interface 301 and the second Type-C interface 302 are connected to external devices, the power chip 500 outputs the charging voltage through the first Type-C interface 301 and the second Type-C interface 302 respectively.
