Hello everyone, today we will learn the pin definition of the CPU power supply chip during the laptop startup process

2

00:00:07,366 --> 00:00:12,133

We take the power supply of VCCGT, VCCcore, VCCSA, etc.

3

00:00:12,133 --> 00:00:17,466

of Intel's 6th to 10th generation CPUs as an example to introduce their chip pins

4

00:00:24,933 --> 00:00:29,366

These power supplies are all controlled by the same chip, which is the main chip

5

00:00:31,266 --> 00:00:33,133

Here is an architecture diagram

6

00:00:34,533 --> 00:00:38,566

The model of this chip is ISL95829

7

00:00:40,666 --> 00:00:43,533

Then this is the CPU power supply main chip

8

00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:52,966

The small chip next to it is a DRMOS chip

9

00:00:56,633 --> 00:01:02,900

First of all, the above two DRMOS chips, here control the output power supply of the integrated display

10

00:01:04,133 --> 00:01:08,500

The two DRMOS chips in the middle control the generation of core power supply

11

00:01:11,033 --> 00:01:15,600

The bottom DRMOS chip controls the generation of VCCSA power supply

12

00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:22,133

These 5 DRMOS chips are all controlled by the same main chip

13

00:01:23,933 --> 00:01:28,000

Next, let's learn the pin definition of the main chip and DRMOS chip

14

00:01:29,866 --> 00:01:35,633

We take the ISL95829 chip as an example to introduce the chip pin definition

15

00:01:40,266 --> 00:01:43,066

We must first have a general understanding of this chip

16

00:01:44,066 --> 00:01:48,366

Just now we can see the three-way power supply controlled by the main chip in the diagram

17

00:01:52,866 --> 00:01:58,600

Therefore, these pin definitions are divided into Group A, Group B, and Group C

18

00:02:04,666 --> 00:02:09,466

The names of these pins end with A, which means they belong to group A,

19

00:02:10,233 --> 00:02:12,266

and they control the core power supply

20

00:02:18,933 --> 00:02:21,966

The ones ending with B are group B power supplies,

21

00:02:22,433 --> 00:02:25,666

which control the generation of integrated display power supplies

22

00:02:29,733 --> 00:02:34,200

Group C is used to control VCCSA, we can also call it VRC

23

00:02:39,633 --> 00:02:44,200

Group A can also be called VRA, group B can also be called VRB

24

00:02:46,133 --> 00:02:48,133

Let's first introduce the above pins

25

00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:55,533

Pin PROG5 is grounded through a resistor and is used to set the maximum current

26

00:02:55,533 --> 00:02:58,700

and operating frequency of the power supply of Group C

27

00:03:05,533 --> 00:03:10,733

It can also be said that this is the limit current setting and frequency setting of Group C

28

00:03:12,700 --> 00:03:16,566

Pin PROG4 is the frequency setting of Group A and Group B

29

00:03:21,466 --> 00:03:26,933

Pin PROG3 is the limit current setting of group B, set the current up to 50A,

30

00:03:30,066 --> 00:03:35,400

and set group B to 2-phase PWM

31

00:03:41,333 --> 00:03:48,666

Pin PROG2 is the limit current setting of group A power supply, here it is set to 70A current

32

00:03:52,466 --> 00:03:55,500

Pin PROG1 is the VBOOT voltage setting,

33

00:03:55,933 --> 00:03:58,966

the current VBOOT voltage is set to 0V

34

00:03:59,300 --> 00:04:02,533

VBOOT voltage is also called startup voltage

35

00:04:02,966 --> 00:04:05,500

Ok, this is the definition of these pins

36

00:04:06,366 --> 00:04:11,266

VIN is the main power supply of the chip, usually provided by the common point voltage

37

00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:16,666

VCC is also a power supply, usually provided by 5V standby voltage

38

00:04:17,433 --> 00:04:21,266

SCL, SDA refers to the SVID pin from the CPU

39

00:04:27,133 --> 00:04:30,600

VR_HOT# is the overheating indication signal output

40

00:04:31,233 --> 00:04:36,100

Group A and Group B of this chip have a pin connected to a thermistor, NTC,

41

00:04:36,333 --> 00:04:39,800

to detect the power supply temperature of Group A and Group B

42

00:04:46,066 --> 00:04:48,733

If the temperature of any power supply is too high,

43

00:04:49,233 --> 00:04:56,266

the main chip will output a low-level overheating indication signal to the CPU to notify the CPU to reduce frequency

44

00:05:01,433 --> 00:05:07,000

At this time, the performance of the system will be affected, and the fan speed will increase

45

00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,000

VR_READY is the signal output of the power supply,

46

00:05:14,333 --> 00:05:16,833

which means that the power supply chip is ready

47

00:05:26,466 --> 00:05:32,400

VR_ENABLE pin refers to the PWM enable pin, which is the enable pin of this chip

48

00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:39,833

This PSYS is the power monitoring of the system, generally not used,

49

00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,200

grounded through resistors and capacitors

50

00:05:47,300 --> 00:05:50,066

IMON is also the current monitoring output,

51

00:05:50,266 --> 00:05:54,966

which is also grounded through resistors and capacitors, which are not used pins

52

00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:57,566

COMP is the compensation pin,

53

00:05:57,666 --> 00:06:01,633

usually an external resistor and capacitor are connected in series to ground

54

00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:09,133

FB is the feedback pin, also called the voltage detection pin

55

00:06:11,133 --> 00:06:17,133

The FB and RTN pins are respectively connected to the CPU internal power supply pin and the ground pin,

56

00:06:19,966 --> 00:06:23,033

which are equivalent to two multimeter pens to directly measure

57

00:06:23,033 --> 00:06:26,566

whether the corresponding power supply inside the CPU is normal

58

00:06:30,100 --> 00:06:36,333

The FB and RTN pins of group B mainly detect whether the integrated display power supply of group B is normal

59

00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,933

This is used to detect the voltage, the voltage detection pin

60

00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,333

The pins start with IS are the current detection pins,

61

00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:50,800

which are connected to the front end and back end of the inductor of the integrated display power supply

62

00:06:51,166 --> 00:06:54,700

They are used to detect the energy in the inductors in real time,

63

00:07:01,433 --> 00:07:06,800

and adjust the current output of the two inductors to achieve the same output current of the two inductors

64

00:07:09,300 --> 00:07:13,500

FCCM and PWM1 are used to control the DMOS chip

65

00:07:16,833 --> 00:07:18,900

There is a DMOS chip next to it

66

00:07:19,233 --> 00:07:22,733

The FCCM and PWM are the pins from the main chip

67

00:07:25,566 --> 00:07:29,933

FCCM is the open of this DMOS chip, active at high level

68

00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:38,133

PWM is a pulse used to control its output current and output frequency

69

00:07:42,733 --> 00:07:44,166

GND is the grounding

70

00:07:47,233 --> 00:07:52,166

There is a PWM2 below, which is used to control another DRMOS chip

71

00:07:56,266 --> 00:07:59,833

FCCM is an open signal shared by multiple DMOS

72

00:08:03,666 --> 00:08:08,600

And PWM1 and PWM2 respectively control two DMOS chips

73

00:08:15,700 --> 00:08:19,866

The pins of group A are exactly the same as those of group B

74

00:08:29,766 --> 00:08:35,000

It also has a current monitoring output, a thermistor connection pin, compensation pin,

75

00:08:35,366 --> 00:08:40,000

feedback pin, voltage detection pin, current detection pin, etc.

76

00:08:40,500 --> 00:08:44,133

It also has FCCM pins and PWM pins,

77

00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:48,366

which are used to control the DMOS chip to generate core power supply output

78

00:08:48,666 --> 00:08:53,466

The pin definition of group C is also exactly the same as that of group B

79

00:08:54,966 --> 00:08:57,033

Let's take a look at this DMOS chip

80

00:08:57,833 --> 00:08:59,866

DMOS chip integrates MOS tube

81

00:09:04,700 --> 00:09:08,400

This VIN is the power supply of the internal upper tube D pole,

82

00:09:11,100 --> 00:09:13,533

and the S pole of the lower tube is grounded

83

00:09:14,966 --> 00:09:17,966

The middle phase pin is connected to the SW pin

84

00:09:18,366 --> 00:09:22,466

All SW pins are connected together, including this PHASE

85

00:09:23,433 --> 00:09:26,033

GND and PGND are the grounding

86

00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:32,766

VIN is the power supply for the D pole of the upper tube, usually from the common point voltage

87

00:09:33,300 --> 00:09:37,700

PVCC and VCC are generally provided by 5V power supply,

88

00:09:38,866 --> 00:09:42,033

which is the working voltage of the internal PWM module,

89

00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:46,033

and is used to control the work of the internal upper and lower tubes

90

00:09:53,633 --> 00:09:58,833

This PWM is also for the internal control module, including the open signal

91

00:09:59,433 --> 00:10:01,500

These NCs are idle pins

92

00:10:04,133 --> 00:10:08,200

BOOT is the boost pin, connected to the bootstrap capacitor

93

00:10:09,533 --> 00:10:13,533

A capacitor is connected between this phase pin and BOOT pin

94

00:10:18,833 --> 00:10:23,566

Ok, this is a brief introduction to the pin definition of the CPU power supply chip
