Last Update Time: 2020-01-03 11:17:51

The timing analysis of GA-H55M-S2H motherboard is as follows.

1. Install the battery BAT, battery positive electrode through the resistance RB changed its name to VBAT, all the way to the IO chip to measure the battery power, the other way to the Schottky diode D5 1 pin, output RTCVDD from 3 pin to power the bridge RTC circuit, As shown in figure 1. RTCVDD through the delay circuit composed of R255and C99, the delay obtains-RTCRST high level, sends to the bridge RTCRST# pin, resets the real-time clock circuit.

  After the internal logic conversion of the IO chip IT8720F, the PWRBTSW signal is sent out from the 103 pin (see figure IO). The 3.3V-0V-3.3V jump signal is the same as the-PWRBTSW signal, and the PWRBTN# pin sent to the bridge is powered on.

          The bridge receives the PWRBTSW power-on request signal, and the output lasts 3.3 V after the well and bridge standby condition and the body are normal. High-S4 _ S5 and-SLP _ S3 signals, as shown in Figure 9.

The operation principle of the circuit shown in FIG.10S4 S5 turns on the Q65 through the resistor R458, and the Q69 is turned off, and the EN signal is controlled to a high level through the inside of the ISL6545 chip, and the operation of the chip is started to control the output memory to supply power.

The path of the -SLP S3 is returned to the IO2 pin of the IO chip IT8720F, indicating that power-on is allowed, as shown in FIG.8, the two paths are converted to the VCC18 EN signal through the circuit as shown in FIG.11, and the three-way control circuit converts the circuit conversion output 5 VDU to be supplied with two-way power supply.

       9.The trigger signal of 3.3V-0V-3.3V jump is obtained by IO chip 106 after the high level of 3.3V is obtained, the continuous low level-PSON signal is outputted from 107 pin to 16 pin of ATX power interface after logic conversion in the internal circuit of the chip. Pull down the green line of the power supply, so that the power output of each main power supply to complete the power, as shown in figure 13. 107

IO. After the power supply outputs each main power supply, the VCC18_EN controls the circuit shown in Fig. 10-37, and the VCC3 is stepped down to get the power supply of the VCC1_8_PCH bridge.

        The 2_5LEVEL voltage of  2.5V is 1.83 V through the resistance R46 and R52 partial voltage, and the VCC18_EN is pulled back to the IO pin of the operational amplifier UIOC. The IO-pin voltage of the operational amplifier is higher than that of the 9-pin voltage, and the 8-pin output high level is sent to the 1-pin of Q21 by R198 current limit. The VCC1_8_PCH bridge power supply voltage of 1.83V is obtained by controlling Q21 to reduce the voltage of VCC3.

          Figure 17 shows how the circuit works: the 2 SLEVEL voltage of 2.5 V is 0.5 V voltage through the resistance R47 and R437 partial voltage, which is sent to the 6 pin of UIOB. When the 1.2V bus power CPU VTT is normal, it is sent to the 5 pin of UIOB through the electric positive R 459. At this time, the 5-pin voltage of UIOB is higher than the 6-pin voltage, the 7-pin output 12V high level, and the 1.532V voltage is obtained by resistance R436 and R477 partial voltage, and the VTT PWRGD signal is pulled up and output.

All the way to the VTT PWRGD pin of the clock chip, turn on the clock chip to work, output each clock signal to provide the working clock to each component of the motherboard. The other way to the bridge's SYS PWROK pin (see figure 19) indicates that the power management chip is working properly.
