Abstract
A discharge circuit for a power supply unit includes a pulse width modulator (PWM) chip, a first and second electronic switch, and a resistor. The first electronic switch receives a power good signal from the power supply unit. When a system power terminal outputs a voltage later than a stand-by power terminal, a voltage creep outputted by the PWM chip is discharged through the resistor and the second electronic switch.
Claims9
A discharge circuit, comprising:
- a power supply unit outputting a power good signal;
- a pulse width modulator chip comprising a control pin and a phase output pin, wherein the control pin is coupled to the power supply unit, to receive the power good signal;
- and
- first and second electronic switches each comprising first to third terminals, wherein the first terminal of the first electronic switch is coupled to the control pin, and is coupled to a first system power terminal through a first resistor, the second terminal of the first electronic switch is connected to ground, the third terminal of the first electronic switch is coupled to a stand-by power terminal through a second resistor;
- the third terminal of the first electronic switch is coupled to the first terminal of the second electronic switch;
- the second terminal of the second electronic switch is connected to ground, the third terminal of the third electronic switch is coupled to the phase output pin through a third resistor;
- wherein when the first terminals of the first and second electronic switches are at low-voltage level, the first and second electronic switches are turned on;
- when the first terminals of the first and second electronic switches, the first and second electronic switch are turned off
