00:00:00,300 --> 00:00:06,333

Hello everyone, today we will learn about the protective isolation circuit during the startup process of the laptop

2

00:00:08,133 --> 00:00:10,333

This lesson consists of two parts

3

00:00:10,833 --> 00:00:14,600

The first one is the introduction of protective isolation circuit

4

00:00:15,133 --> 00:00:18,800

The second is the three common ways of generating common points

5

00:00:21,233 --> 00:00:27,700

First of all, the protective isolation circuit is used to isolate the power supply of the battery and the adapter

6

00:00:27,700 --> 00:00:32,566

to prevent two different voltages from being connected together to cause a short circuit

7

00:00:34,833 --> 00:00:39,166

The point where the battery and adapter voltages meet is called the common point

8

00:00:40,100 --> 00:00:41,766

When the adapter is plugged in,

9

00:00:41,966 --> 00:00:46,700

the adapter power supply will flow to the common point through the adapter isolation tube

10

00:00:48,066 --> 00:00:51,666

At the same time, the battery isolation tube will be cut off,

11

00:00:51,833 --> 00:00:55,433

and the adapter will supply power to the public point at this time

12

00:00:55,866 --> 00:01:00,366

The common point voltage goes to the D poles of all power supply upper tubes

13

00:01:01,466 --> 00:01:05,433

The D poles of all PWM circuits are powered by the common point

14

00:01:09,066 --> 00:01:14,133

If any PWM circuit is abnormal, it may cause a short circuit at the common point

15

00:01:16,566 --> 00:01:21,100

The resistance to ground of the common point of ordinary machines is above 400

16

00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:27,266

Like some common points generated by PWM, its resistance to ground is above 100

17

00:01:28,533 --> 00:01:32,066

This is the common point-to-ground resistance we actually measured

18

00:01:32,433 --> 00:01:36,166

It is more than 500 here, which is a normal phenomenon

19

00:01:38,033 --> 00:01:42,233

Next, let's take a look at the three common common point generation methods

20

00:01:42,833 --> 00:01:44,766

The first, which is the most common

21

00:01:45,266 --> 00:01:47,866

These two are adapter isolation tubes

22

00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,066

This VIN is the adapter power supply

23

00:01:51,533 --> 00:01:57,433

The first isolation tube uses a P-channel, which uses resistors in series to divide the voltage,

24

00:01:57,966 --> 00:02:01,666

divides the low level, and controls its self-conduction

25

00:02:02,233 --> 00:02:07,100

The second isolation tube uses N-channel, which is controlled by the charging chip

26

00:02:07,700 --> 00:02:10,566

After the charging chip meets the working conditions,

27

00:02:11,133 --> 00:02:16,033

it outputs a high level to control the conduction of the N-channel to generate a common point

28

00:02:16,666 --> 00:02:19,266

If the second isolation tube is not turned on,

29

00:02:19,833 --> 00:02:22,533

the common point also has a small current voltage,

30

00:02:24,033 --> 00:02:27,500

which flows from the body diode of PQ102

31

00:02:29,833 --> 00:02:35,700

The small current common point is also a false common point, which cannot make the machine work normally

32

00:02:39,500 --> 00:02:42,000

The first isolation tube and the second isolation tube

33

00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,566

are controlled by the charging chip at the same time

34

00:02:47,466 --> 00:02:51,900

The battery isolation tubes of some models are also controlled by the charging chip

35

00:02:52,500 --> 00:02:57,200

Some are when inserting the adapter, after the first isolation tube is turned on,

36

00:02:58,266 --> 00:03:02,833

the P1 voltage provides a high level to the G pole of the battery isolation tube

37

00:03:02,866 --> 00:03:05,766

to control the cut-off of the battery isolation tube

38

00:03:08,900 --> 00:03:11,933

Well, this is the first, most common common point

39

00:03:14,500 --> 00:03:18,533

When the adapter is plugged in, it can only be powered by the adapter

40

00:03:18,900 --> 00:03:22,400

When the adapter is not plugged in or the adapter is damaged,

41

00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,100

it will control the adapter isolation tube to cut off,

42

00:03:26,700 --> 00:03:29,700

and use the battery to provide power to the common point

43

00:03:34,366 --> 00:03:39,133

The second type, the common point is generated by PWM step-down

44

00:03:39,466 --> 00:03:44,566

In this case, after the adapter power supply is turned on through the adapter isolation tube,

45

00:03:45,366 --> 00:03:48,100

it needs to be stepped down by PWM

46

00:03:50,766 --> 00:03:53,366

The power supply after PW step-down,

47

00:03:53,700 --> 00:03:57,333

it is the charging voltage and the power supply voltage to the common point

48

00:04:00,133 --> 00:04:04,266

That is to say, the common point voltage is equal to the charging voltage

49

00:04:06,133 --> 00:04:08,533

With the common point generated in this way,

50

00:04:08,700 --> 00:04:12,566

it supports battery and adapter to power the common point at the same time

51

00:04:15,466 --> 00:04:21,266

The third type, the common point is generated by 4-switch BUCK or BOOT mode

52

00:04:25,233 --> 00:04:27,800

if the voltage of the adapter is 20V,

53

00:04:28,333 --> 00:04:31,366

it will be stepped down by PWM to the common point,

54

00:04:31,766 --> 00:04:34,100

and the battery will be charged at the same time

55

00:04:35,866 --> 00:04:40,000

The common point voltage at this time is not equal to the adapter voltage

56

00:04:41,266 --> 00:04:43,600

After the Type-C adapter is inserted,

57

00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,533

it will communicate with the mainboard through the CC bus,

58

00:04:51,466 --> 00:04:55,400

the CC bus is pulled low by the U4701 here

59

00:04:58,866 --> 00:05:05,100

Then the adapter will output a pre-boosted 5V to supply power to the PD protocol controller here

60

00:05:08,266 --> 00:05:11,000

After the PD protocol controller is powered,

61

00:05:11,166 --> 00:05:15,033

it will generate linearity and provide power to its FLASH chip

62

00:05:18,266 --> 00:05:23,233

Then the PD protocol controller reads the information in the flash through the SPI bus,

63

00:05:27,966 --> 00:05:31,033

and then communicates with the adapter through the CC bus,

64

00:05:33,766 --> 00:05:39,033

requesting the adapter to provide a voltage that can satisfy the normal operation of the mainboard

65

00:05:40,900 --> 00:05:46,166

The adapter will perform voltage conversion internally according to the request of the mainboard,

66

00:05:46,500 --> 00:05:49,100

and output a boosted 20V power supply

67

00:05:52,966 --> 00:05:57,833

When the PD controller detects that the adapter voltage has risen to 20V,

68

00:05:58,700 --> 00:06:02,533

it will send a turn-on signal to convert the adapter power supply 20V

69

00:06:02,566 --> 00:06:05,733

to provide power for the subsequent common point circuit

70

00:06:11,466 --> 00:06:13,966

Next, after the charging chip is powered by 20V,

71

00:06:14,300 --> 00:06:18,566

it will generate linearity, supply power to its own VDDA,

72

00:06:20,266 --> 00:06:23,033

and then output a CHRG_OK signal

73

00:06:27,533 --> 00:06:31,700

Then, the charging chip will control the four MOS tubes here to turn on in turn

74

00:06:31,700 --> 00:06:34,300

according to the voltage set by its CELL pin,

75

00:06:36,533 --> 00:06:42,233

and step down the 20V power supply of the adapter to the charging voltage to supply power to the common point

76

00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,300

and charge the battery at the same time

77

00:06:47,566 --> 00:06:50,200

When no adapter is plugged in, for example,

78

00:06:50,866 --> 00:06:54,400

I plug in an extended peripheral in the Type-C interface

79

00:06:55,266 --> 00:06:59,100

The power supply of this interface will be powered by the battery voltage,

80

00:07:02,766 --> 00:07:06,066

and the charging chip will control it to boost the battery voltage

81

00:07:06,300 --> 00:07:09,733

and reverse it to supply power to the Type-C peripherals

82

00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:18,366

Well, this is the third common point generation method, 4-switch buck, boost to generate a common point
