00:00:00,333 --> 00:00:03,766

In this lesson, we'll talk about the functions of the power chips

2

00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:07,200

The step-down module integrated inside the power chip,

3

00:00:07,433 --> 00:00:10,300

also known as the BUCK switching power supply module,

4

00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:14,133

converts the input voltage step-down into a lower voltage

5

00:00:16,133 --> 00:00:18,500

Let's look at its circuit characteristics

6

00:00:18,733 --> 00:00:20,166

This is a power chip,

7

00:00:20,266 --> 00:00:23,133

input a power supply of about 4V to it

8

00:00:23,833 --> 00:00:25,966

After its internal module works,

9

00:00:26,500 --> 00:00:31,033

it completes the step-down of the circuit together with the external inductor

10

00:00:31,366 --> 00:00:34,500

For example, this output is 0.75V

11

00:00:35,233 --> 00:00:40,000

The power supply output current of the BUCK switching power supply is relatively large,

12

00:00:40,366 --> 00:00:43,766

and the voltage name with S on it represents SWITCH

13

00:00:44,933 --> 00:00:47,066

For example, in the left picture,

14

00:00:47,266 --> 00:00:54,033

the code name is VREG_S1A _S2A_S3A_0P75,

15

00:00:54,200 --> 00:01:00,200

which means that the power supply output by this switching power supply module is 0.75V

16

00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:05,633

We see that the power chip has a large inductor on the line that powers the output

17

00:01:06,033 --> 00:01:11,233

Its output voltage is 0.75V, the input voltage is 4V,

18

00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:16,333

the output is much smaller than the input, its process is step-down

19

00:01:20,300 --> 00:01:23,466

Another integrated circuit inside the power supply is called

20

00:01:23,466 --> 00:01:26,000

LDO low dropout linear regulator,

21

00:01:26,233 --> 00:01:28,033

also called LDO module

22

00:01:29,066 --> 00:01:33,300

The difference between its output voltage and input voltage is not large,

23

00:01:33,433 --> 00:01:36,133

and there is no large inductor on the output line,

24

00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,133

which is its appearance feature

25

00:01:38,433 --> 00:01:39,433

Let's take a look

26

00:01:40,466 --> 00:01:46,600

This is a power chip, VREG_S6A_0P9 is its input power supply,

27

00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,466

the voltage is 0.9V

28

00:01:50,533 --> 00:01:52,600

After its internal module works,

29

00:01:53,100 --> 00:01:55,300

it will output one or more voltages

30

00:01:56,366 --> 00:02:00,000

For example, in the picture, it outputs two channels,

31

00:02:00,500 --> 00:02:04,733

the first is VREG_L4A_0P75,

32

00:02:05,100 --> 00:02:09,133

and the second is VREG_L5A_0P88

33

00:02:09,466 --> 00:02:15,266

means it outputs a voltage of 0.75V and a voltage of 0.88V

34

00:02:16,733 --> 00:02:21,800

The output current of the LDO low dropout linear regulator is relatively small

35

00:02:22,366 --> 00:02:25,033

The voltage name has L or LDO,

36

00:02:25,100 --> 00:02:27,233

and Huawei's chip has VOUT,

37

00:02:27,633 --> 00:02:31,933

indicating that it is a low-current LDO-type power supply voltage

38

00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:38,100

For example, VREG_L4A_0P75 in the left picture

39

00:02:38,100 --> 00:02:41,433

is the power supply of an LDO step-down output

40

00:02:43,366 --> 00:02:48,233

VOUT8_1P8 is also this type of power supply

41

00:02:49,700 --> 00:02:51,566

Okay, that's it for this lesson
