Hello everyone, today we will learn about the 3.8V main power supply circuit in the Apple A2337 circuit

2

00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:15,066

The name of the 3.8V main power supply is PP3V8_AON_VDDMAIN

3

00:00:18,466 --> 00:00:22,166

This main power supply mainly provides power to the power chip behind

4

00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:31,666

This power supply is generated by three inductors at the same time,

5

00:00:34,166 --> 00:00:37,533

which is controlled by the main chip U5700

6

00:00:40,100 --> 00:00:43,166

In the real circuit, here are the three inductors

7

00:00:46,733 --> 00:00:50,933

There are three black current-sense resistors at the rear end of the inductors

8

00:00:52,033 --> 00:00:55,500

After the power supply is output through the current-sensing resistor,

9

00:00:55,500 --> 00:00:58,333

it provides power to the following two power chips,

10

00:00:58,733 --> 00:01:02,200

one is the main power supply and the other is the auxiliary power supply

11

00:01:04,166 --> 00:01:08,266

Of course, there will be filter capacitors at the back end of the inductors

12

00:01:08,533 --> 00:01:13,466

The capacitors are on the back of the mainboard, which are these two rows of tank capacitors

13

00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,233

The main chip refers to this chip

14

00:01:17,566 --> 00:01:19,866

The main chip drives three MOS tubes

15

00:01:21,866 --> 00:01:25,766

The three MOS tubes at the front end of the inductor are composite tubes,

16

00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:29,966

which integrate the upper and lower tubes

17

00:01:31,033 --> 00:01:33,166

Let's take a look at the circuit diagram

18

00:01:34,466 --> 00:01:38,300

In the circuit diagram, U5700 is the main chip

19

00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:43,733

The condition of this chip is very simple, only need to meet the VIN main power supply

20

00:01:44,500 --> 00:01:49,900

The VIN main power supply is provided by the common point voltage PPBUS_AON

21

00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,133

With the mains supply, it produces a linear

22

00:01:54,566 --> 00:01:57,600

This LDO5 is a 5V linear output

23

00:01:58,866 --> 00:02:03,500

After the linear output, it returns to supply power to the VDRV pin,

24

00:02:03,766 --> 00:02:06,300

and then gets the enable signal EN

25

00:02:12,300 --> 00:02:15,266

It will output the drive of the three upper and lower tubes

26

00:02:17,300 --> 00:02:23,066

UGATE1, LGATE1, BOOT1, this is the driver of the first road,

27

00:02:23,266 --> 00:02:25,900

controlling the first road upper and lower tubes

28

00:02:26,566 --> 00:02:32,366

BOOT2, UGATE2, LGATE2, this is the second road

29

00:02:32,900 --> 00:02:37,300

UGATE3, LGATE3, this is the third road

30

00:02:37,766 --> 00:02:41,833

These three set of upper and lower drivers respectively control the three

31

00:02:41,833 --> 00:02:44,266

groups of upper and lower tubes on this page

32

00:02:47,866 --> 00:02:56,033

Q5800 is a set, Q5820 is another set, and Q5840 is also a set

33

00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,300

There are inductors behind the three MOS tubes

34

00:03:05,633 --> 00:03:09,000

The rear ends of the three inductors are all connected together

35

00:03:10,833 --> 00:03:17,966

The output terminal is PP3V8_AON_VDDMAIN, which is the main power supply output of 3.8V,

36

00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,133

and the maximum current is 30A

37

00:03:24,966 --> 00:03:27,166

As can be seen from the circuit diagram,

38

00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:31,766

there is a milliohm-level current-sensing resistor at the back end of each inductor

39

00:03:32,900 --> 00:03:39,666

After the 3.8V power supply is output, there are voltage detection pins, VSEN and VRTN,

40

00:03:40,233 --> 00:03:44,700

which are used to detect whether the output voltage at the back end of the inductor is normal

41

00:03:50,166 --> 00:03:57,266

There are 3 groups of current detection pins here, CSP1 and CSN1 are the current detection of the first set,

42

00:03:58,466 --> 00:04:02,833

connected to the current detection resistor at the rear end of the first set of inductors

43

00:04:03,533 --> 00:04:07,266

The following is the current detection of the second set and the third set,

44

00:04:07,966 --> 00:04:17,833

both of which are connected to the front and rear ends of the current-sensing resistor at the rear end of the inductor

45

00:04:18,666 --> 00:04:22,833

There is a current detection resistor at the back end of each set of inductors,

46

00:04:23,100 --> 00:04:26,500

and they are connected to the corresponding current detection pin of the main chip

47

00:04:26,500 --> 00:04:29,133

to detect whether the output current is normal

48

00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:35,533

In the maintenance process, if the 3.8V output is abnormal,

49

00:04:36,366 --> 00:04:39,000

we mainly check the working conditions of the main chip,

50

00:04:40,066 --> 00:04:44,400

and check whether its power supply, open signal, and linearity are normal

51

00:04:49,300 --> 00:04:50,800

In the process of maintenance,

52

00:04:51,966 --> 00:04:56,766

we can also directly connect a voltage above 4.5V to the rear end of the inductor

53

00:04:56,833 --> 00:04:58,500

through an adjustable power supply,

54

00:04:59,066 --> 00:05:02,766

and give it a DC power, and it can also display normally

55

00:05:03,233 --> 00:05:06,166

Ok, this is the main power supply of 3.8V

56

00:05:06,866 --> 00:05:11,866

The open signal of the main power supply is P3V8AON_PWR_EN,

57

00:05:12,233 --> 00:05:15,166

which comes from U5340

58

00:05:18,433 --> 00:05:23,566

It is the open signal sent by the charging chip to turn on the main power supply of 3.8V

59

00:05:27,900 --> 00:05:32,366

If there is a problem with the charging chip, it will cause the open signal to be abnormal

60

00:05:35,066 --> 00:05:39,866

Only after the common point voltage is normal, the charging chip will send an open signal

61

00:05:43,733 --> 00:05:47,533

Ok, this is the 3.8V main power supply generation process
