    摘要: A method and apparatus to automatically select operating voltages for a device. The method comprising the steps of: connecting a variable resistive network in series to a first side of a resistor for varying the current through the resistor; charging an inductor with a modulate pulse train, the inductor being connected to the second side of the resistor; outputting a voltage equal to the voltage across the resistor and a fixed reference voltage located at the first side of the resistor; determining if at least one designated processor pin is connected to ground; and varying the resistance of the resistive network if at least one pin is connected to ground so as to change the current flowing through the resistor, thereby changing the voltage across it.

    摘要: Apparatus for providing electrical power to a processor (CPU) within a computing system includes a fixed-voltage power supply and a programmable power supply. When the computing system is turned on, a switching circuit determines whether the processor is a unified voltage plane type, having a first particular pin electrically floating, or a split voltage plane type, having this pin grounded. In either case, the output of the programmable power supply is applied to the pins associated with the core voltage plane of a split voltage plane type. If the processor is a unified voltage plane type, the switching circuit applies the output of the programmable power supply to the pins associated with the I/O voltage plane of a split voltage plane type. If it is of a split voltage plane type, the switching circuit applies the output of the fixed-voltage power supply to an I/O voltage plane of the processor, with the programmable power supply being first set to generate a voltage determined by whether a second grounded pin is present in the processor. Then, an instruction in an initialization program causes the processor having a split voltage plane to transmit an identification code, which is used to determine a final level of the programmable power supply voltage.

    摘要: Apparatus for monitoring fan speeds within a computing system includes a tachometer turning with the fan, providing a tachometer signal including a number of pulses during each revolution of the fan. This tachometer signal is provided as an input to a signal generator in the form of a flip-flop, which generates a square-wave signal having transitions between high and low levels corresponding to tachometer signal pulses. The square-wave signals are provided as inputs to separate input ports of a microprocessor. These input ports are sequentially sampled at a rate providing at least two samples per period of the fastest square-wave signal, so that transitions of each square wave signal during a predetermined time interval can be detected and counted. For each input port, the number of counted transitions is compared to a stored acceptable value to establish whether the fan is operating in an acceptable speed range.
