Abstract:
A computer system includes a triggering device; and a motherboard, connected to the triggering device, further comprising: a memory stored with a setting parameter of a basic-input-output-system; and a counter connected between the triggering device and the memory; wherein an erasing signal, for erasing the memory, is outputted to the memory from the counter according to a triggering signal outputted from the triggering device while a boosting procedure cannot be successfully executed by the computer system.
Abstract:
A modularized motherboard is provided. The modularized motherboard includes a first circuit board, a second circuit board and a connecting device. The first circuit board includes a north bridge chip, a central processing unit (CPU) slot and a first connecting port. The CPU slot is coupled to the north bridge chip and is used for installing a CPU. The second circuit board is independent of the first circuit board. The second circuit board includes a second connecting port and a south bridge chip. The south bridge chip is coupled to the north bridge chip via the second connecting port the first connecting port. The connecting device is coupled between the first connecting port and the second connecting port.
Abstract:
A detecting device is used to detect the connection of an electronic device. The detecting device includes a circuit board and a connector module. The circuit board includes a power terminal and a signal processing unit. The connector module includes a body and a detecting member. The body has a connecting port and a connecting sidewall. The detecting member is disposed on the connecting sidewall and electrically connected to the power terminal and the signal processing unit, and it has a potential. When a plug of the electronic device is connected to the connecting port, the plug contacts the detecting member to change the potential. The change of the potential is detected by the signal processing unit such that the connection between the electronic device and the connector module is confirmed.
Abstract:
A power saving system is provided, comprising a system chip, at least one controller and at least one corresponding switch. The system chip is coupled to the controller. The controller is coupled between the system chip and a connector. The switch is coupled between the controller and a power and is turned on or off according to a GPIO signal. When the switch is turned on, the controller is active. When there is no device through the connector and the controller coupled to the system chip, the controller is turned off for power saving.
Abstract:
A computer has a first BIOS unit, a second BIOS unit, a bus, a detecting unit, and a first delay unit. The detecting unit is connected to the bus, the first BIOS unit, and the second BIOS unit operationally. In addition, the first delay unit is electrically connected to the detecting unit for controlling the detecting unit to check a status of a bus signal on the bus after a predetermined delay time. Accordingly, the detecting unit may enable the first BIOS unit or the second BIOS unit to boot the computer system according to the state of the bus signal.
Abstract:
A switch device for switching different signal types includes a signal input unit for receiving a signal; a detection unit, coupled to the signal input unit, for generating a first control signal and a second control signal according to a signal type of the signal received by the signal input unit; and a switch unit, coupled to the signal input unit and the detection unit, for switching the signal input unit to either couple to a first signal processing unit or a second signal processing unit according to the first control signal and the second control signal outputted by the detection unit.
Abstract:
A connector having a number of SMT pads and a number of in-line package pins is provided. The connector can be applied to both a peripheral component interconnection (PCI) card and a peripheral component interconnection express (PCIE) card. The number of the connectors can be reduced when the connectors are applied to the circuit board, and more space on the circuit board are then available for other electrical elements to be disposed.

Abstract:
A socket with a detection function includes a housing; a plurality of metal spring pins installed side by side in the housing; a first detection pin formed on a side of the plurality of metal spring pins and coupled to a system ground; and a second detection pin formed on another side of the plurality of metal spring pins and coupled to a pull up resistor for providing a high voltage level for the second detection pin. The second detection pin includes an elastic metal arm extending toward the first detection pin and formed on the top of the first detection pin. A first metal spring pin is deflected to press down the elastic metal arm of the second detection pin for contacting the first detection pin when a phone cable plug is inserted into the socket.
