[0036] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the present application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0037] At this stage, the electronic information industry is constantly developing in the direction of digitalization and intelligence, and server data centers are developing particularly rapidly. The realization of digital and intelligent functions requires relying on various sensors and digital chips inside the server to collect and transmit information, so that back-end personnel can more intuitively obtain the internal operating status and log information of the server, and carry out business deployment and problem handling in a timely manner.

[0038] The realization of digital and intelligent functions still depends on the stable and normal power supply of the system: the sensors and digital chips that collect information need normal power supply, the baseboard management controller used for control and management needs normal power supply, and the network chip used for data transmission needs normal power supply.

[0039] When the system power supply is abnormal, the sensor, digital chip or baseboard management controller cannot obtain the power supply that can support stable operation. At this time, the back-end personnel cannot obtain any information about the server. The server network is completely interrupted and cannot be connected. Even if the digital chip or baseboard management controller inside the server has a black box log function, the cause of the server power supply abnormality cannot be obtained due to the power supply abnormality.

[0040] In the relevant technical solutions, when an abnormality occurs in the power supply of a server, the server can only be removed from the shelf for maintenance and the abnormal board card can be returned for repair. If you want to understand the log information when the server abnormality occurs, you need to power on the server again. However, in most cases, the abnormality in the power supply of the server is caused by damage to internal components, and the server can basically not be powered on normally again.

[0041] As shown in Figure 1, a power supply diagram of a related technology provided by an embodiment of the present application is shown. In the figure, an external power supply 1 is used to power the baseboard management controller on the abnormal board, and an external power supply 2 is used to power the digital chip on the abnormal board. However, this method is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the background personnel cannot obtain the cause of the board abnormality in the first time, and the board may be damaged secondary during the welding process, affecting the collection of board abnormality logs.

[0042] One of the core concepts of the embodiments of the present application is that when an abnormality occurs in the power supply input to the server, the first voltage conversion module inputs a low-level voltage to the gate of the second MOS tube, and the second MOS tube is turned on. At this time, the second voltage input by the external mobile power supply can be input into the second MOS tube through the interface module, and the second MOS tube divides the second voltage to obtain a third voltage and inputs it into the second voltage conversion module. The second voltage conversion module can convert the third voltage into a fourth voltage to power the baseboard management controller, thereby using the external mobile power supply to reversely power the baseboard management controller, so that the baseboard management controller inside the server temporarily has a working power supply, so that the background personnel can continue to obtain the log information inside the baseboard management controller, quickly understand the cause of the power supply abnormality of the server, and quickly locate the abnormal problem, providing convenience for users.

[0043] 2 , a block diagram of a power supply circuit 10 according to an embodiment of the present application is shown. The power supply circuit 10 includes a first voltage conversion module 101 , a first MOS transistor 102 , a second voltage conversion module 103 , a second MOS transistor 104 , a baseboard management controller 105 , and an interface module 106 .

[0044] The output end of the first voltage conversion module 101 is respectively connected to the input end of the first MOS transistor 102 and the gate of the second MOS transistor 104. The input end of the first voltage conversion module 101 is connected to the gate of the first MOS transistor 102. The first voltage conversion module 101 is used to output a first voltage to the gates of the first MOS transistor 102 and the second MOS transistor 104 when the input power supply is abnormal. The first voltage is a low-level voltage.

[0045] In the embodiment of the present application, the first voltage conversion module 101 is connected to the input power supply. When the input power supply is abnormal, the voltage value of the input power supply is zero, and the first voltage output by the first voltage conversion module 101 is also zero, that is, a low-level voltage. At this time, the output end of the first voltage conversion module 101 can output the first voltage to the gate of the first MOS transistor 102 and the second MOS transistor 104.

[0046] The output end of the first MOS transistor 102 is connected to the input end of the second voltage conversion module 103 and the output end of the second MOS transistor 104 respectively. The first MOS transistor 102 is used to disconnect when detecting abnormal power supply of the input power supply.

[0047] In the embodiment of the present application, when the gate of the first MOS transistor 102 detects an abnormal input power supply, that is, when the voltage value of the input power supply is detected to be zero, the gate is disconnected, and at this time 102 is in a disconnected state.

[0048] The interface module 106 is connected to the input end of the second MOS transistor 104 and is used to input the second voltage input by the external mobile power supply into the second MOS transistor 104 , where the second voltage is a high-level voltage.

[0049] In the embodiment of the present application, the interface module is connected to the external mobile power supply, and the external mobile power supply can input the second voltage to the second MOS tube through the interface module.

[0050] The second MOS transistor 104 is configured to be turned on when the first voltage is detected, and input a third voltage obtained by dividing the second voltage into the second voltage conversion module 103 .

[0051] In the embodiment of the present application, since the gate of the second MOS transistor 104 is connected to the output end of the first voltage conversion module 101, and the second MOS transistor 104 is turned on when the voltage level is low, the first voltage conversion module 101 outputs the first voltage, which is a low-level voltage. Therefore, the second MOS transistor is turned on. At this time, the second MOS transistor can divide the second voltage input by the interface module 106 to obtain a third voltage and input it to the second voltage conversion module 103.

[0052] In some embodiments of the present application, the first MOS transistor is an N-type MOS transistor, and the second MOS transistor is a P-type MOS transistor.

[0053] An output end of the second voltage conversion module 103 is connected to the baseboard management controller 105 . The second voltage conversion module 103 is configured to convert the third voltage into a fourth voltage to supply power to the baseboard management controller 105 .

[0054] In an embodiment of the present application, after the second voltage conversion module 103 receives the third voltage input by the second MOS tube 104, it can convert the third voltage into a fourth voltage. The fourth voltage is the voltage required for the baseboard management controller to work. In some examples, the third voltage is 10v, and the voltage required for the baseboard management controller to work is 3.8v. The second voltage conversion module 103 can convert 10v into 3.8v, and then input the 3.8v voltage into the baseboard management controller to power it.

[0055] The present application discloses a power supply circuit. When an abnormality occurs in the power supply input of a server, the first voltage conversion module inputs a low-level voltage to the gate of a second MOS tube, and the second MOS tube is turned on. At this time, a second voltage input from an external mobile power supply can be input to the second MOS tube through an interface module. The second MOS tube divides the second voltage to obtain a third voltage and inputs it to the second voltage conversion module. The second voltage conversion module can convert the third voltage into a fourth voltage to power a baseboard management controller, thereby using the external mobile power supply to reversely power the baseboard management controller, so that the baseboard management controller inside the server temporarily has an operational power supply, so that backstage personnel can continue to obtain log information inside the baseboard management controller, quickly understand the cause of the power supply abnormality of the server, and quickly locate the abnormal problem, providing convenience for users.

[0056] 3 , a structural block diagram of a power supply circuit 10 provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown. The power supply circuit may further include: a power protection module 107 and a complex editable logic device 108. The input end of the power protection module 107 is respectively connected to the output end of the first MOS transistor 102 and the output end of the second MOS transistor 104, the output end of the power protection module 107 is connected to the input end of the interface module 106 and the second MOS transistor 104, the input end of the complex editable logic device 108 is connected to the power indication pin of the first voltage conversion module 101, and the output end of the complex editable logic device 108 is connected to the enable pin of the power protection module 107. The complex editable logic device 108 is configured to output a low-level general input / output signal to the power protection module 107 when a low-level signal is detected. The power protection module 107 is configured to disconnect when receiving the low-level general input / output signal.

[0057] In an embodiment of the present application, when the input power supply is abnormal, the complex editable logic device 108 detects that the power indication pin signal of the first voltage conversion module is a low-level signal, and the complex editable logic device 108 will control the output end to enter a low-resistance mode, so that the complex editable logic device 108 can output a low-level general input and output signal to the power protection module 107. When the power protection module 107 detects the low-level general input and output signal input by the complex editable logic control device, it is disconnected, that is, the power protection module 107 does not work at this time.

[0058] FIG4 shows a schematic diagram of a power supply circuit when an input power supply is abnormal, provided in an embodiment of the present application. An external mobile power supply is introduced through the interface module 106 , the gate voltage of the second MOS transistor 104 is zero, and the second MOS transistor 104 is turned on. At this time, the second voltage conversion module operates normally and converts a fourth voltage to power the baseboard management controller load.

[0060] In the embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG3 , the first voltage conversion module 101 is further configured to convert the fifth voltage of the input power supply into a sixth voltage when the input power supply is normal, and then input the sixth voltage to the input end of the first MOS transistor 102 and the gate of the second MOS transistor 104 , respectively. Since the first voltage conversion module 101 is operating normally at this time, the power indication pin of the first voltage conversion module 101 can input a high-level signal to the complex programmable logic device 108 .

[0061] In some embodiments of the present application, the complex programmable logic device 108 is configured to output a high-level general-purpose input / output signal to the enable pin of the power protection module 107 when a high-level signal is detected.

[0062] In an embodiment of the present application, when the complex editable logic device 108 detects a high level input from the power indication pin of the first voltage conversion module 101, it can output a high-level general input / output signal to the enable pin of the power protection module 107, thereby enabling the enable pin of the power protection module 107 to operate normally when detecting a high-level general input / output signal.

[0063] In some embodiments of the present application, the first MOS transistor is further configured to divide the sixth voltage to obtain a seventh voltage, which is input to the second voltage conversion module 103 and the power protection module 107 respectively.

[0066] In some embodiments of the present application, the power protection module is further configured to be turned on when a high-level universal input / output signal is detected, and to convert the seventh voltage into an eighth voltage and input it into the interface module to charge the external mobile power supply.

[0067] In the embodiment of the present application, since the sixth voltage output by the first voltage conversion module 101 is a high-level voltage, the gate of the second MOS transistor 104 is disconnected after detecting the sixth voltage, that is, 104 does not work, and the power protection module 107 is turned on when a high-level universal input and output signal is detected. At this time, the power protection module 107 can convert the seventh voltage into an eighth voltage and input it to the interface module 106, thereby charging the external mobile power supply connected to the interface module 106.

[0068] As shown in Figure 5, a schematic diagram of a power supply circuit provided by an embodiment of the present application when the input power supply is normal is shown. The fifth voltage output by the input power supply is normal, the first voltage conversion module 101 operates normally, converts the sixth voltage, and feeds back the high-level signal to the complex editable logic device 108. The complex editable logic device 108 can input the high-level universal input and output signal to the enable pin of the power protection module 107. The power protection module 107 operates normally after detecting the high-level universal input and output signal. The gate of the first MOS tube 102 detects the high-level voltage and turns on. The sixth voltage is converted into the seventh voltage via the first MOS tube. The second voltage conversion module operates normally and can convert the eighth voltage to power loads such as the baseboard management controller.

The universal serial bus interface has a hot-swappable function and can connect to a variety of peripherals, such as a mouse and keyboard. Type C is a set of symmetrical connectors. During use, there is no need to identify the interface direction as with USBA (USB Type-A, a USB interface standard), MiniUSB (Mini Universal Serial Bus), and MicroUSB (Micro Universal Serial Bus). It can withstand higher power and can support up to 100W of power. Therefore, the use of this interface can better support fast charging and higher data throughput. The ordinary specification also reaches a data bandwidth of 10Gb / s and can also be used for the transmission of high-definition video. The present application uses USB and Type C to adapt to different external mobile power supplies without the need for customized development, which can provide convenience for users.

[0086] The present application discloses a power supply circuit. When an abnormality occurs in the power supply input of a server, the first voltage conversion module inputs a low-level voltage to the gate of a second MOS tube, and the second MOS tube is turned on. At this time, a second voltage input from an external mobile power supply can be input to the second MOS tube through an interface module. The second MOS tube divides the second voltage to obtain a third voltage and inputs it to the second voltage conversion module. The second voltage conversion module can convert the third voltage into a fourth voltage to power a baseboard management controller, thereby using the external mobile power supply to reversely power the baseboard management controller, so that the baseboard management controller inside the server temporarily has an operational power supply, so that backstage personnel can continue to obtain log information inside the baseboard management controller, quickly understand the cause of the power supply abnormality of the server, and quickly locate the abnormal problem, providing convenience for users.
