[0031] Specific embodiments of the present disclosure are described hereafter with reference to the drawings; however, it should be understood that the disclosed embodiments are merely examples of the present disclosure, which can be implemented in various ways. Well-known and / or repeated functions and structures are not described in detail to avoid unnecessary or redundant details that obscure the present disclosure. Therefore, the specific structural and functional details disclosed herein are not intended to be limiting, but are merely presented as a basis for the claims and representative basis for teaching one of ordinary skill in the art to variously employ the present disclosure in virtually any appropriate detailed structure.
[0032] This specification may use the phrases “in one embodiment,” “in another embodiment,” “in yet another embodiment,” or “in still another embodiment,” all of which may refer to one or more of the same or different embodiments according to this disclosure.
[0033] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a power supply system applied in electronic devices, the power supply system comprising:
[0035] Battery;
[0036] The motherboard is connected to the battery via input / output interfaces for power and signal transmission.
[0037] The battery is equipped with a first switching transistor, and the input / output interface is connected to the first switching transistor. The first switching transistor can be turned on or off by receiving different signals from the input / output interface, thereby powering or de-powering the motherboard.
[0038] Based on the disclosure of the above embodiments, it can be understood that the beneficial effects of this embodiment include switching the power supply between the battery and the main power supply to the motherboard via a switching transistor, that is, switching to supply power to the motherboard or stopping the supply of power to the motherboard. The switching transistor is controlled by an input / output interface (GPIO). Based on the GPIO responding to the user's input instructions, different signals are transmitted to the switching transistor, thereby realizing the switching control of the switching transistor, so that the battery power supply can be disconnected even when the device is powered off, meeting the device usage requirements in some special scenarios, such as scenarios of system crash or system update restart.
[0039] In this embodiment, the electronic device has a power button. When the power button is triggered, it sends an indication signal to the input / output interface to indicate whether the device is turned on or off. Specifically, when the power button is triggered based on a first triggering method, a first signal is sent to the input / output interface. When the first switching transistor receives the first signal, it turns off. When the power button is triggered based on a second triggering method, a second signal is sent to the input / output interface. When the first switching transistor receives the second signal, it turns on. The first signal is a low-level signal indicating power off, and the second signal is a high-level signal indicating power supply. The first triggering method and the second triggering method are different.
[0040] In addition, continue to combine Figure 1As shown, since the battery also needs to supply power to other components, a second switch tube is also connected to the battery in this embodiment, which is connected to the designated component for power supply. With the increase in the number of designated components, the number of second switch tubes can also be increased. In this embodiment, the first switch tube and the second switch tube are connected to each other, so that the first switch tube and the second switch tube can be synchronously turned on or off based on the same signal.
[0041] Specifically, in this embodiment, the gate of the first switch tube is connected to the gate of the second switch tube, and the input and output interface is connected to the gates of the first switch tube and the second switch tube.
[0042] In another embodiment, the input and output interface is connected to the switch tube assembly, which includes a third switch tube and a fourth switch tube with opposite electrodes to block interference terms in the signal, and the gates and drains of the third switch tube and the fourth switch tube are connected.
[0043] In actual application, continue to combine Figure 1 As shown, the default state of BATSW_GPIO is High, which can output a high-level signal. In special cases, such as complete discharge, this GPIO can be converted to LOW by setting, that is, output a low-level signal. Q51 and Q50 are the third switch tube and the fourth switch tube, respectively. Q51 D / S is turned on, and the G pole of Q50 is Low at this time. Q50 is turned off, and the G pole of Q3 / Q13 (the first switch tube and the second switch tube, respectively) is High (high level). At this time, Q3 / Q13 is in the on state, and the battery voltage +BATT_C / +BATT_SW is turned on, and the power is transmitted to the mainboard power supply +BATT and +BATT_1. In the scenario of complete discharge, the user can press the power button 13S (8s+5s), and the EC will trigger the setting of disconnecting the battery and discharging after recognizing it: the default state of BATSW_GPIO is converted from High to Low, Q51 D / S is turned off, the G pole of Q50 is High at this time, Q50 is turned on, the G pole of Q3 / Q13 is Low, at this time Q3 / Q13 is turned off, and the battery voltage +BATT_C / +BATT_SW cannot be transmitted to the mainboard power supply +BATT and +BATT_1 (+BATT_1 is not used when the mainboard is not used, Q13 can be removed).
[0044] For example, as Figure 2 As shown, the following steps are designed when applying the operation:
[0045] Step 1: Confirm that the system power button is not abnormal;
[0046] Step2: long press power key 5s, system automatically shut down, do not release the power key;
[0047] Step3: after Step2, continue to press the power button 5s until the power indicator light flashes, release the power button;
[0048] Step4: after releasing the power button in Step3, press the power button 5s within 2s to trigger the GPIO action to cut off the battery (the CMOS CLR function can also be activated within 5s);
[0049] Step5: the battery and the mainboard main power supply are switched by a MOS, and the MOSfet is controlled by the GPIO, so that the battery power supply can be disconnected in some special demand scenarios in the need of shutdown state.
[0050] When the scene needs to be completely discharged, the user can press the power-off switch through the small hole installed in the hidden place of the notebook computer, pull down BATSW_GPIO in the following figure, Q51 D / S is turned off, at this time the G pole of Q50 is H i gh, Q50 is turned on, the G pole of Q3 / Q13 is l ow, Q3 / Q13 is turned off, the battery voltage +BATT_C / +BATT_SW, at this time it cannot be transmitted to the mainboard power supply +BATT and +BATT_1 (+BATT_1 this road mainboard is not used, Q13 can be not powered on).
[0051] BATSW_GPIO default state is H i gh (special case needs to be completely discharged, this GPIO can be converted to LOW by setting), Q51 D / S is turned on, the G pole of Q50 is Low, Q50 is turned off, the G pole of Q3 / Q13 is H i gh, Q3 / Q13 is turned on, the battery voltage +BATT_C / +BATT_SW is turned on, used to transmit power to the mainboard power supply +BATT and +BATT_1 (+BATT_1 this road mainboard is not used, Q13 can be not powered on).
[0052] Another embodiment of the utility model also provides an electronic equipment which comprises the power supply system as claimed in any one of the preceding embodiments.
[0053] The above embodiments are only exemplary embodiments of the utility model and are not used to limit the utility model, and the protection scope of the utility model is defined by the claims. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications or equivalent replacements to the utility model within the spirit and protection scope of the utility model, and such modifications or equivalent replacements should also be regarded as falling within the protection scope of the utility model.
