[0028] The utility model provides a graphics card overtemperature alarm circuit. The signal of the graphics card is given to a detection device. The detection device uses a thermocouple, that is, a thermal sensor, which is integrated in the wafer inside the GPU chip to detect the temperature at different positions. The temperatures at different positions are transmitted to the GPU. The temperature detection circuit reads the temperature inside the graphics card GPU through SMBUS communication. The read temperature data is transmitted to the main control MCU through an I2CS signal. After receiving the instruction, the main control MCU sends a PWM signal to the temperature alarm circuit.

[0029] The circuit works as follows:

[0030] When the graphics card detection signal identifies that the temperature is too high, it communicates with the main control MCU through the I2CS_SCL interface and the I2CS_SDA interface. The field effect transistor Q10856A and the field effect transistor Q10856B are interface protection ICs. The gate of the field effect transistor Q10856A or the gate of the field effect transistor Q10856B is at a high level. At this time, the field effect transistor Q10856A and the field effect transistor Q10856B will be turned on and send a signal to pin 6 or pin 7 of the main control MCU to realize data transmission and notify the main control MCU.

[0031] Upon receiving the high-temperature signal, the master MCU outputs a PWM signal through pin 17 of the master MCU, port PA5. When the graphics card's temperature is normal, port PA5 outputs a low level, and the signal from resistor R91243 is low, disabling transistor Q10857. When the graphics card's temperature is abnormal, port PA5 outputs a high level, and the signal from resistor R91243 is high, turning transistor Q10857 on.

[0032] When the transistor Q10857 is turned on, the pin 2 of the buzzer BS1 is pulled low, and the buzzer BS1 starts to work and emits a sound.

[0033] The temperature alarm circuit controls the passive buzzer design drive circuit through an NPN transistor. Resistor R91243 is a current limiting resistor to prevent excessive base current flowing through the transistor Q10857 from damaging the transistor. Resistor R91242 plays an important role. First, it acts as a pull-down resistor for the base of transistor Q10857. If the input terminal is left floating, resistor R91242 keeps transistor Q10857 in a reliably off state. Without resistor R91242, the PA5 input terminal is susceptible to interference, which could cause the transistor to unexpectedly flip state or enter an undesired amplification state, causing the buzzer BS1 to sound unexpectedly. Second, resistor R91242 increases the high-level threshold voltage. Without resistor R91242, the transistor's high-level threshold voltage is only 0.7V, meaning the transistor will turn on as long as the input voltage at PA5 exceeds 0.7V. Adding resistor R91243 changes the situation. The transistor will saturate and turn on only when the input voltage at PA5 reaches approximately 2.2V.

[0034] Capacitor C92048 eliminates EMI radiation from buzzer BS1. Capacitor C92049 acts as a power filter capacitor, filtering out high-frequency noise from the power supply. Capacitor C92047 effectively filters out interference signals in high-interference environments, preventing the buzzer from changing tone or unexpected sounding. Diode D1 provides freewheeling current, otherwise a reverse induced electromotive force (EMF) would be generated across buzzer BS1, generating a spike voltage of tens of volts, potentially damaging transistor Q10857 and interfering with other components of the entire circuit system.

[0035] The above content is a further detailed description of the present invention in conjunction with specific preferred embodiments, and the specific implementation of the present invention cannot be considered to be limited to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art of the present invention, without departing from the concept of the present invention, several simple deductions or substitutions can be made, which should be considered to fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
