Above-mentioned switch controlling device receives a signal specific, and when disposing central processing unit on above-mentioned two cpu sockets, above-mentioned signal specific is positioned at one first level, and above-mentioned switch controlling device is opened circuit; When not disposing central processing unit on above-mentioned any cpu socket, above-mentioned signal specific is positioned at second level, and makes above-mentioned switch controlling device conducting.
Above-mentioned motherboard is from the optional one of above-mentioned two cpu sockets, with its corresponding to the signal of the SLOTOCC# output terminal of central processing unit as above-mentioned signal specific, when disposing central processing unit on the above-mentioned cpu socket, above-mentioned signal specific is a low level, and above-mentioned switch controlling device is opened circuit, when not disposing central processing unit on the above-mentioned cpu socket, above-mentioned signal specific is a high level, and makes above-mentioned switch controlling device conducting.
Above-mentioned motherboard also comprises a logic control device, its input end couples first signal end and the secondary signal end that corresponds respectively to the SLOTOCC# output terminal of two central processing units on above-mentioned two cpu sockets respectively, and output terminal then is coupled to above-mentioned switch controlling device; When above-mentioned two cpu sockets disposed central processing unit, above-mentioned first, second signal was low level, makes the above-mentioned signal specific of above-mentioned logic control device output be positioned at above-mentioned first level, and above-mentioned switch controlling device is opened circuit; When above-mentioned arbitrary cpu socket did not dispose central processing unit, the above-mentioned signal specific of above-mentioned logic control device output was positioned at above-mentioned second level, and makes above-mentioned switch controlling device conducting.
Above-mentioned end device is a resistor chain.
Above-mentioned end device comprises a plurality of resistance, and an end of each above-mentioned resistance all is coupled to above-mentioned switch controlling device, and an other end then is coupled to each signal end on the above-mentioned control bus respectively.
The control bus signal end of above-mentioned two cpu sockets partly is a state in parallel.
For above-mentioned purpose of the present invention, feature and advantage can be become apparent, below especially exemplified by two preferred embodiments, and be described with reference to the accompanying drawings as follows:
Fig. 1 represents the circuit block diagram of the first embodiment of the present invention;
Fig. 2 represents the circuit block diagram of the second embodiment of the present invention.
First embodiment:
Fig. 1 represents the circuit block-diagram of the first embodiment of the present invention.As shown in Figure 1, of the present invention pair of central processing unit motherboard comprises: two cpu sockets 1,2 that are used for disposing central processing unit, and relevant peripheral unit (not shown).
This central processing unit motherboard also comprises: an end device 3, one end are coupled on the control bus of above-mentioned two cpu sockets corresponding to central processing unit; With a switch controlling device 4, be disposed between the other end of a terminal voltage source 5 and above-mentioned end device 3.Again, the control bus of above-mentioned two cpu sockets part is in parallel.
Wherein, in the present embodiment, above-mentioned end device can be made of a plurality of resistor R, and an end of each above-mentioned resistance R all is coupled to above-mentioned switch controlling device 4, and an other end then is coupled to each signal end on the above-mentioned control bus respectively.In addition, above-mentioned end device also can be a resistor chain.Above-mentioned switch controlling device 4 is a nmos pass transistor in this embodiment.Above-mentioned terminal voltage source is 1.5V.
(for example only dispose central processing unit #1 on cpu socket 1) when above-mentioned cpu socket only disposes a central processing unit, the conducting by the driving of a signal specific of above-mentioned switch controlling device 4 makes above-mentioned end device 3 its effectiveness of performance.
Wherein, with the SLOTOCC# output end signal of cpu socket 2, as above-mentioned signal specific corresponding to central processing unit #2.When disposing central processing unit #2 on the above-mentioned cpu socket 2, above-mentioned signal specific (being SLOTOCC#) is a low level, and above-mentioned switch controlling device 4 (nmos pass transistor) is opened circuit, and does not so promptly influence the work of normal two central processing units.When not disposing central processing unit #2 on the above-mentioned cpu socket 2, above-mentioned signal specific is a high level, and makes above-mentioned switch controlling device conducting, and above-mentioned end device 3 can play a role, and guarantees that single central processing unit normally moves.
Embodiment two:
Fig. 2 represents the circuit block diagram of the second embodiment of the present invention.Second embodiment has increased a logic control device 6 than first embodiment; Other device identical with first embodiment is with identical symbolic representation.
Above-mentioned logic control device 6, be one or (OR) gate circuit in this embodiment, its input end couples first signal end (SLOTOCC#1) and the secondary signal end (SLOTOCC#2) of the SLOTOCC# signal output part that corresponds respectively to two central processing unit #1 and central processing unit #2 on above-mentioned two cpu sockets 1,2 respectively; Give above-mentioned switch controlling device 4 (also being a nmos pass transistor in this embodiment) and export a signal specific.
When above-mentioned two cpu sockets 1,2 dispose central processing unit, above-mentioned first, second signal (SLOTOCC#1, SLOTOCC#2) is low level " 0 ", so the above-mentioned signal specific that above-mentioned OR circuit is exported is positioned at low level " 0 ", make nmos pass transistor open circuit, like this then do not influence the action of normal two central processing units.
When above-mentioned cpu socket 2 did not dispose central processing unit #2, the SLOTOCC#2 signal was positioned at high level " 1 ", and the SLOTOCC#1 signal then is positioned at low level " 0 "; Therefore, the above-mentioned signal specific that above-mentioned OR circuit is exported is positioned at high level " 1 ", makes above-mentioned nmos pass transistor conducting, and above-mentioned end device 3 can play a role, and guarantees that single central processing unit normally moves.
In like manner, when above-mentioned cpu socket 1 did not dispose central processing unit #1, the SLOTOCC#1 signal was positioned at high level " 1 ", and the SLOTOCC#2 signal then is positioned at low level " 0 "; Therefore, the above-mentioned signal specific that above-mentioned OR circuit is exported is positioned at high level " 1 ", makes above-mentioned nmos pass transistor conducting, and above-mentioned end device 3 can play a role, and guarantees that single central processing unit normally moves.
