[0075] In this embodiment, the values ​​of the resistor and capacitor can be selected according to actual conditions, and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0076] In the technical solution provided by this embodiment, the arrangement of the resistor and capacitor components ensures that the fan drive circuit can operate normally, the speed of the fan 50 can be adjusted, and the service life of the fan 50 is increased.

[0077] In one embodiment of the present application, Figure 4 As shown, the first and second voltage regulator diodes U1 and U2 are TL431 controllable precision voltage regulators, and the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth switches Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4, Q5, and Q6 are MOS transistors. V0_FAN is the output voltage of the input power supply 30. The speed drive signal FAN_CTRL is used to adjust the fan 50's speed in four gears. If more gears are required, additional designs can be added based on this circuit.

[0078] Specifically, when the speed drive signal FAN_CTRL output by the control module 40 is greater than the first voltage value V1, the second voltage regulator U2 is turned on, driving the fourth switch tube Q4 to be turned on. At the same time, the fifth switch tube Q5 is turned on, driving the sixth switch tube Q6 to be turned on. At this time, the output voltage value of the fan drive signal PWR_FAN is approximately equal to the output voltage V0_FAN of the input power supply 30. The fan 50 runs under the drive of the voltage V0_FAN, that is, when FAN_CTRL>V1, PWR_FAN=V0_FAN, and the speed of the fan 50 is S1.

[0079] When the speed drive signal FAN_CTRL output by the control module 40 is less than the first voltage value V1 and greater than the second voltage value V2, the second voltage regulator U2 is turned off and the first voltage regulator U1 is turned on, driving the first switch Q1 to turn off, the third switch Q3 to turn off, and the second switch Q2 to turn on. At this time, the G-pole voltage of the fourth switch Q4 depends on the conduction voltage drop of the second switch Q2, the tenth resistor R10, the diode D1, and the conduction threshold of the fourth switch Q4. The output voltage V0_FAN of the input power supply 30 reaches the D-pole of the fourth switch Q4 through the twelfth resistor R12, the second switch Q2, the tenth resistor R10, and the diode D1, forming a negative feedback link. The conduction voltage V GS The negative feedback link of the D-pole of the fourth switch tube Q4 will be stabilized at the turn-on threshold, thereby remaining in the amplification region. At the same time, the fifth switch tube Q5 is turned on, driving the sixth switch tube Q6 to turn on. At this time, the fan drive signal PWR_FAN = V0_FAN-V GSQ4 *(R10+R12) / R12-V D1 , the fan 50 is driven by the voltage PWR_FAN, that is, when V1>FAN_CTRL>V2, PWR_FAN=V0_FAN-V GSQ4 *(R10+R12) / R12-V D1 , fan speed S2.

[0080] When the FAN_CTRL signal output by the control module 40 is less than the second voltage value V2 and greater than the third voltage value V3, the second voltage regulator U2 is turned off, the first voltage regulator U1 is turned on, driving the first switch Q1 to turn on, the third switch Q3 to turn on, and the second switch Q2 to turn off. At this time, the G-pole voltage of the fourth switch Q4 depends on the conduction voltage drop of the third switch Q3, the eleventh resistor R11, and the diode D1, as well as the conduction threshold of the fourth switch Q4. The output voltage V0_FAN of the input power supply 30 reaches the D-pole of the fourth switch Q4 through the twelfth resistor R12, the third switch Q3, the eleventh resistor R11, and the diode D1, forming a negative feedback link. The conduction voltage V GS The negative feedback link of the D-pole of the fourth switch tube Q4 will be stabilized at the turn-on threshold, thereby remaining in the amplification region. At the same time, the fifth switch tube Q5 is turned on, driving the sixth switch tube Q6 to turn on. At this time, the fan drive signal PWR_FAN = V0_FAN-V GSQ4 *(R11+R12) / R12-V D1 , the fan 50 is driven by the voltage PWR_FAN, that is, when V2>FAN_CTRL>V3, PWR_FAN=V0_FAN-V GSQ4 *(R11+R12) / R12-V D1 , fan speed S3.

[0081] When the FAN_CTRL signal output by the control module 40 is less than the fourth voltage V4, both the first voltage regulator U1 and the second voltage regulator U2 are turned off, thereby driving the first switch tube Q1, the second switch tube Q2, the third switch tube Q3, and the fourth switch tube Q4 to turn off. At the same time, the fifth switch tube Q5 conducts, driving the sixth switch tube Q6 to conduct. At this time, the voltage of the fan drive signal PWR_FAN is 0V, and the fan 50 operates under the drive of the 0V voltage. That is, when FAN_CTRL < V4, PWR_FAN = 0V, and the fan speed is S4.

[0082] In the technical solution provided by this embodiment, four-speed adjustment of the fan 50 is achieved, and it can be driven by a single signal. The circuit is simple and the cost is low, effectively improving the service life of the fan 50.
