Boot control circuit for computer system power management
The granted patent (Publication Number: US11966755B2) discloses a boot control circuit for a computer system. The circuit includes a connection port module with a detection pin and a motherboard with a switch that controls the system power module. The motherboard regulates the power provided by the system power module for booting the computer system based on the connection between the detection pin and the switch. When the detection pin is connected to the control terminal of the switch, the system power module outputs power to boot the computer system. Conversely, when the detection pin is disconnected from the switch, the system power module does not provide power, resulting in the computer system being in a shutdown state.
Furthermore, the boot control circuit includes a printed circuit board and an input/output control board within the connection port module. The detection pin is located on the printed circuit board, and when connected to the switch, it transmits a trigger signal to control the terminal, causing the switch to be in an off state. The circuit also incorporates a voltage converter to decrease the voltage level of the input signal, ensuring proper functionality. Additionally, the switch can be either a metal oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor or an NPN type bipolar junction transistor, with specific terminals serving as gate, drain, source, base, collector, and emitter, depending on the type of switch used in the circuit.
