     The timing analysis of gigabyte GA-G41M-ES2L motherboard is as follows.

     1.After installing the battery BAT, battery 3V voltage after the resistance RB, it is renamed VBAT, all the way to the 1O chip to measure the battery power, and the other way to the 1 pin of the Schottky diode D2. The output RTCVDD from 3 pin supplies power to the RTC circuit inside the North bridge chip. RTCVDD obtains-RTCRST high level 3V through the delay circuit composed of R183 and C124, sends to the RTCRST# pin of the North bridge chip, and resets the real-time clock circuit inside the North bridge chip. As shown in figure 1.

      9. After the internal logic conversion of the IO chip, the trigger signal sends out the PWRBTSW signal from the PWRBTSW chip (see figure 9). PWRBTSW signal, like-PWRBTSW, is the 3.3V-0V-3.3 jump signal, which is sent to the PWRBTN# pin of the ICH7 South Bridge chip to request power on.

      12. -S4 S5 turns on Q22 through resistance R217, Q29 cuts off, and EN signal pulls up to a high level through the chip. The trigger signal of 3V_0V3.3V jump is obtained by IO chip 106. after the high level of 3.3V is obtained, after logic conversion in the internal circuit of the chip, the continuous low level-PSON signal is outputted from 107pin to 16 pin of ATX power interface . Pull down the power supply green line so that the power output each main power supply to complete the power, as shown in figure 12.

      14.The 2 _ 5LEVEL voltage of 2.5V is sent to the 5 pin of the comparator U4b through the resistance R223 and R209 partial voltage, the 5 pin voltage is higher than the 6 pin voltage, the 7 pin output high level is sent to the 1 pin of Q5 through the R58 current limit, and the Q5 conduction is controlled. The power supply of VTT GMCH bus is 1.207V by depressing DDR18V and getting 1.207V power supply by VTT_GMCH bus. VTT_GMCH bus power supply through the circuit shown in figure 14, generate a high level of VTT_PWRGD signal sent to the EN pin of the power management chip, turn on the power management chip to work, control the output CPU power supply VCORE voltage.

      The 2.5 V 2_5LEVEL voltage is sent to the 2 pin of U4A through the resistance R 222 and R 2 7 7 partial voltage. When the 1.2V bus power supply VTT GMCH is normally sent to the 3 pin of UA, the voltage of 3 pin is higher than 2 pin.

When the VCORE voltage of CPU power supply is stable, the power management chip outputs a good signal of high level VR RDY power supply, which is sent to the B pole of transistor DQ11 through DRI9, so that the DQ11 is turned on, the DQ10 is cut off, and the 3.3V high level VRMGD signal is obtained by pulling up the DR46. The VTTPWRGD pin sent to the clock chip, as shown in figure 15, turns on the clock chip, outputs each clock signal, and provides the working clock for each component of the motherboard.

      The ICH _ VRMGD signal of the South Bridge chip is not controlled by the power management chip, but directly pulls to the VCC3 voltage through the resistance R208 to get a high level to the South Bridge chip, as shown in figure 16.
