[0068] The exchange sub-card includes a CPU, and a control bus of the CPU includes I2C, SPI, SGMII, SMI and general GPIO pins;

[0069] A CPU_I2C pin of the CPU is used for connecting various I2C devices inside the board card, and a PPU_I2C of the CPU is used for connecting an optical module;

[0070] The SPI pin is used for connecting an SPI flash for boot starting of the board card.

The GPIO pin is used as a general input and output, and can be used for realizing various control functions such as LED state indication, hardware reset, alarm signal output and the like.

[0073] The CORE clock of the exchange sub-card chip CTC7132 is generated by a local differential 50M crystal oscillator, and the 3-way 25M clock provided by the exchange sub-card is provided to the exchange board PHY, and a 25M crystal is used alone to provide the clock for the management port PHY.

[0074] Figure 6 A clock implementation schematic diagram of the exchange board proposed in the embodiment of the application is shown, the CORE clock of the CTC7132 chip of the exchange sub-card chip is derived from a local differential 50MHz crystal oscillator. The differential crystal oscillator generates two signals with a phase difference of 180 degrees, and through the Silicon Labs clock scheme, three 25MHz clock signals are further derived from the 50MHz CORE clock, and the three clock signals are used as the key timing control source of the exchange board PHY module.

[0075] In addition, the system also contains a separate 25MHz crystal, dedicated to the management of the PHY (SK21101) to generate clock signals. To ensure that the management interface in any case can maintain independent operation, even if the main clock system fails, but also to continue network management and monitoring, improve system reliability and maintainability.

It is used as a global reset signal, affecting multiple key components, including CPU, PHY (physical layer interface chip) and state indicator shift register chip, ensuring that all related components are initialized at the same time, avoiding timing problems and potential conflicts during startup.

[0083] Figure 9 A DC / DC converter circuit design diagram proposed in the embodiment of the application is shown. Before the power supply is input to the converter, it will first pass through a filter to filter out noise and ensure power quality. Then, the fuse prevents excessive current from damaging the downstream circuit. The electronic switch is used to control the opening and closing of the power supply to realize the on-off control of the circuit.

[0084] The DC / DC conversion core (SMS28S12) then serves as a high-efficiency DC / DC converter, responsible for reducing the 28V voltage to 12V. During this conversion process, the high-frequency switching operation inside the converter is combined with passive elements such as inductors, capacitors, and precision control circuits to achieve voltage conversion and stable output. The converter has multiple built-in protection functions, including output overvoltage protection, output overcurrent protection, short circuit protection, and overtemperature protection. These protection mechanisms can quickly respond in abnormal conditions to avoid hardware damage. The circuit has stable voltage output and good dynamic response characteristics. When the load changes, the converter can quickly adjust to maintain stable output voltage.
