00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:08,333

Hello everyone, today we will learn the standby circuit and power-on circuit on the mainboard

2

00:00:10,966 --> 00:00:18,066

After the ATX power supply is connected to the mainboard, plug in the AC 220V AC power supply

3

00:00:19,300 --> 00:00:27,666

At this time, the ATX power supply will output a 5VSB standby voltage and a high-level power-on signal

4

00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:36,066

After the purple 5VSB is supplied to the mainboard,

5

00:00:36,066 --> 00:00:46,966

it is stepped down to 3.3V by the voltage regulator on the mainboard.

6

00:00:49,466 --> 00:00:52,133

Here is the 3.3V output of the regulator

7

00:00:52,433 --> 00:00:59,100

It converts the purple 5VSB into a 3.3V main standby power supply

8

00:01:00,166 --> 00:01:03,433

If we get a mainboard without a circuit diagram,

9

00:01:03,833 --> 00:01:06,866

how to find the 3.3V standby power supply?

10

00:01:07,533 --> 00:01:12,466

In fact, we can measure on the B10 pin of the PCIE slot

11

00:01:13,133 --> 00:01:15,733

The PCIE slot refers to this slot

12

00:01:15,833 --> 00:01:21,633

The side near the CPU is side A, and the other side is side B

13

00:01:22,533 --> 00:01:29,833

The B10 pin refers to the 10th pin on the B side, counting from the 1st pin here

14

00:01:30,766 --> 00:01:36,700

B10 pin can measure the standby voltage of 3.26V

15

00:01:42,333 --> 00:01:47,866

In the absence of a circuit diagram, the 3.3V standby power supply can be measured at this fixed pin

16

00:01:48,133 --> 00:01:50,833

This 3.3V voltage is for the bridge to provide standby

17

00:01:52,266 --> 00:02:00,600

In addition to 3.3V standby, there is a 1V standby voltage on the back of the mainboard

18

00:02:01,533 --> 00:02:04,633

There is a 1V standby power supply here

19

00:02:05,300 --> 00:02:08,500

Then, there is also a 1V standby power supply

20

00:02:09,766 --> 00:02:12,366

These are the two 1V standby voltages of this board

21

00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,466

For this mainboard, we tested its standby conditions according to the standard timing,

22

00:02:16,500 --> 00:02:19,866

and found that in addition to 3.3V main standby power supply and 1.0V main standby power supply,

23

00:02:20,133 --> 00:02:22,333

it also has RTC circuit conditions

24

00:02:22,733 --> 00:02:29,700

The RTC circuit is usually next to the button battery and this bridge chip

25

00:02:30,233 --> 00:02:33,700

Ok, let's take a look at the power supply of the RTC first

26

00:02:35,733 --> 00:02:41,766

Generally, there is a double diode next to the battery to measure the 3.1V RTC power supply.

27

00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:49,033

A diode has two positive poles

28

00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:53,600

Connect the positive side of the battery to the battery voltage of 3.0V,

29

00:02:54,333 --> 00:02:59,200

and the other side is from the 3.3V standby voltage

30

00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:04,200

This 3.3V standby voltage has a voltage drop after passing through the diode and becomes 3.1V

31

00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:05,733

This is the power supply of the RTC

32

00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:07,733

Clock for RTC circuit

33

00:03:08,100 --> 00:03:10,166

Next to this bridge is a crystal oscillator

34

00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,600

The crystal oscillator has two pins, one pin 0.2V,

35

00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,266

one pin 0.3V, and the two pins have a voltage difference

36

00:03:17,100 --> 00:03:21,700

Measured with an oscilloscope, there is a clock frequency of 32.768KHz

37

00:03:22,033 --> 00:03:24,033

Ok, this is the clock for the RTC circuit

38

00:03:24,366 --> 00:03:29,666

The reset signal of the RTC circuit has a jumper called "CLR CMOS" on the mainboard

39

00:03:30,166 --> 00:03:35,200

This jumper cap has three pins, the top pin is ground

40

00:03:35,833 --> 00:03:39,266

The middle pin is the RTC reset signal,

41

00:03:39,266 --> 00:03:43,000

which is powered by the RTC to provide a pull-up to 3V high level, which goes to the bridge

42

00:03:43,666 --> 00:03:45,966

The other pin is an idle pin

43

00:03:46,866 --> 00:03:51,833

In the normal state, the jumper should jump on the reset signal and the empty pin,

44

00:03:53,433 --> 00:03:56,133

and the reset signal cannot be connected to the ground.

45

00:03:56,266 --> 00:04:01,166

If connected to ground, this reset signal will be pulled low, thus clearing the CMOS settings

46

00:04:01,866 --> 00:04:04,866

Ok, this is the reset signal measurement for the RTC circuit

47

00:04:05,900 --> 00:04:10,266

Next, there is an IO, which can also be called EC

48

00:04:10,833 --> 00:04:16,000

The standby condition of IO is power supply, clock, reset and its program

49

00:04:16,533 --> 00:04:19,266

The IO power supply has an inductance next to the IO that can be measured,

50

00:04:19,733 --> 00:04:22,433

also called FB, which is a safety inductance

51

00:04:22,933 --> 00:04:26,300

When there is no circuit diagram and no such obvious power supply insurance,

52

00:04:26,300 --> 00:04:30,400

we can check whether there is a filter capacitor next to the IO

53

00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,833

Measured on the capacitor pin, you can also measure its standby voltage

54

00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:39,433

Its clock is next to the IO, there is a 32.768KHz crystal oscillator

55

00:04:39,733 --> 00:04:43,533

Measure its pin voltage, one side is 0.9V, the other side is 1.3V

56

00:04:44,733 --> 00:04:49,066

As long as there is a voltage difference between the two pins, there is generally a waveform

57

00:04:49,633 --> 00:04:52,533

In the absence of an oscilloscope,

58

00:04:52,533 --> 00:04:55,966

we can use the substitution method to judge whether the crystal oscillator is good or bad

59

00:04:56,100 --> 00:04:59,866

If there is voltage and no waveform, the crystal oscillator is usually damaged.

60

00:05:00,133 --> 00:05:03,333

No voltage and no waveform generally means that there is a problem with the IO,

61

00:05:03,333 --> 00:05:05,600

or the working conditions of the IO are insufficient.

62

00:05:05,733 --> 00:05:10,466

The IO standby reset signal cannot be found without a circuit diagram

63

00:05:10,833 --> 00:05:14,600

OK, this skips the reset signal measurement

64

00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:20,766

The IO program generally has a Flash ROM next to the IO, which stores the IO program

65

00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:27,300

Usually we measure its first chip select signal with an oscilloscope to see if it has a waveform

66

00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:31,500

We need to use an oscilloscope to judge

67

00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,466

Ok, this is the standby condition for the IO

68

00:05:40,833 --> 00:05:43,866

Next, the switch pin should have a voltage

69

00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,733

If we press the switch, the switch signal will be sent to the IO,

70

00:05:48,333 --> 00:05:53,300

and the IO will send the switch signal to the bridge

71

00:05:55,633 --> 00:06:03,000

The bridge chip will send ACPI_S4n, ACPI_S3n, ACPI_S5n and other signals to the IO,

72

00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:07,666

pull down the green line through the IO, and turn on the power supply of each channel

73

00:06:07,900 --> 00:06:10,766

At this time we can test

74

00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:16,466

When in standby mode, the yellow line on the CPU power supply side has no voltage,

75

00:06:16,833 --> 00:06:22,566

the orange line here also has no voltage, and the red line has no voltage.

76

00:06:22,566 --> 00:06:24,866

These are powered only after pressing the switch

77

00:06:24,933 --> 00:06:27,533

The gray one is the PG signal, and there is no voltage.

78

00:06:27,900 --> 00:06:34,100

At this time, we press the switch and the mainboard will be turned on.

79

00:06:35,966 --> 00:06:41,233

We can measure the orange 3.3V, normal

80

00:06:43,133 --> 00:06:46,133

The red one is 5V, normal

81

00:06:47,366 --> 00:06:51,933

The yellow 12V here is also normal

82

00:06:52,366 --> 00:06:57,966

And the power supply outputs a PG signal of 5 volts

83

00:07:00,300 --> 00:07:02,833

This power supply has started normally
