BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0013] The following will, with reference to the drawings, make the technical solutions and other beneficial effects of the present utility model obvious through a detailed description of the specific embodiments of the present utility model. In the drawings,
[0014] Figure 1 is a circuit diagram of a preferred embodiment of the anti-shutdown POP sound circuit on the computer motherboard of the present utility model. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
[0015] See Figure 1 , which is a circuit diagram of a preferred embodiment of the anti-shutdown POP sound circuit on the computer motherboard of the present utility model. Figure 1 The upper part in is the newly added circuit based on the original audio drive circuit on the computer motherboard for the technical solution of the present utility model. By adding the circuit of the present utility model, during the motherboard shutdown process, the residual current on the speaker circuit can be first discharged to the ground, preventing the current from flowing to the speaker and avoiding the occurrence of POP sound. Figure 1 The lower part in shows a part of the audio drive circuit on the existing computer motherboard. The audio drive circuit / audio chip emits a speaker signal MONO_OUT, which is electrically connected to the signal output pin of the speaker connector JMONO1 to drive the speaker connected to the speaker connector JMONO1 to emit sound. After the speaker signal MONO_OUT is output, it is filtered by the capacitor C18, and the signal specifically loaded on the signal output pin of the speaker connector JMONO1 is MONO_OUT_CC.
[0016] The anti-shutdown POP sound circuit on the computer motherboard of the present utility model is used for electrically connecting the speaker connector JMONO1 on the computer motherboard. The signal output pin of the speaker connector JMONO1 is electrically connected to the speaker signal output by the audio drive circuit on the computer motherboard, and includes: a first NMOS transistor Q1, a second NMOS transistor Q2, and a third NMOS transistor Q3; the gate of the first NMOS transistor Q1 is electrically connected to the PCIE reset signal PCIE_RST on the computer motherboard, the drain is electrically connected to the standby power supply P5VSB on the motherboard, and the source is grounded; the gates of the second NMOS transistor Q2 and the third NMOS transistor Q3 are electrically connected to the drain of the first NMOS transistor Q1, the sources of the second NMOS transistor Q2 and the third NMOS transistor Q3 are electrically connected, the drain of the second NMOS transistor Q2 is electrically connected to the signal output pin, and the drain of the third NMOS transistor Q3 is grounded.
[0017] In this preferred embodiment, the models of the first NMOS transistor Q1, the second NMOS transistor Q2, and the third NMOS transistor Q3 are LBSS139WT1G; the standby power supply is a 5V standby power supply; the drain of the first NMOS transistor Q1 is electrically connected to the standby power supply on the motherboard via a first resistor R102, and the resistance value of the first resistor R102 is 10K ohms; the model of the speaker connector JMONO1 is SWF-25402P.
[0018] The technical solution of the present utility model adds three NMOS transistors Q1, Q2, and Q3 on the basis of the existing audio drive circuit on the computer motherboard. The conduction / turn-off of Q1 is controlled by the PCIE_RST signal on the computer motherboard. In the prior art, the PCIE_RST signal can be issued by the CPU, and because when the computer motherboard is shut down or enters the S3 state, the timing of the PCIE_RST signal being pulled low is earlier, so that the current can be effectively discharged in advance. When the computer is not in the shutdown or S3 state, the PCIE_RST signal is pulled high. When the PCIE_RST signal is pulled high, Q1 is turned on, and the drain MONO_MOS signal of Q1 is pulled low, and Q2 and Q3 are turned off. At this time, the speaker works normally. When the computer is in the shutdown or S3 state, the PCIE_RST signal is pulled low. When the PCIE_RST signal is pulled low, Q1 is turned off, the MONO_MOS signal is pulled high, and Q2 and Q3 are turned on. At this time, all the current on the speaker circuit will be conducted to the ground, preventing the current from entering the speaker and causing POP sound.
[0019] Moreover, the sources of Q2 and Q3 in this solution are connected. When the computer is normally turned on, the positive and negative of the speaker signal will not be clamped due to the parasitic diode of the MOS transistor itself, so that there is a problem with the speaker sound.
[0020] In summary, for the anti-shutdown POP sound circuit on the computer motherboard of the present utility model, through an additional circuit, during the motherboard shutdown process, the residual current on the speaker circuit is first discharged to the ground, preventing the current from flowing to the speaker and avoiding the occurrence of POP sound.
[0021] As described above, for those of ordinary skill in the art, various corresponding changes and deformations can be made according to the technical solution and technical concept of the present utility model, and all such changes and deformations shall fall within the protection scope of the appended claims of the present utility model.
