Abstract

In this paper, the function of starting the negative voltage used in the IT equipment when it is generated and the method of controlling it using a microcontroller for the function to detect the overload and respond to it are presented. To do this, the limitations of the existing negative voltage generation circuit and the problems that occur during overload were analyzed, and a circuit that detects and controls the overload condition without a separate current sensing circuit was presented. In order to confirm the effect of the proposed method, an experiment was conducted by configuring an experimental circuit. As a result of the experiment, compared to the existing negative voltage generation circuit, which falls into a latch-up state when overloaded and enters a dangerous state, the proposed circuit detects this, stop the operation of the circuit, and informs the user of such an abnormal state to take action. have. In addition, since the starting point of the circuit is determined according to the system state, the experimental result was confirmed that the starting time was significantly shortened by about 23% compared to the time switch method.

본 논문에서는 IT기기에 사용되는 마이너스 전압을 생성할 때 이를 기동하는 기능과 과부하를 감지해 이에 대처하는 기능을 마이크로컨트롤러를 이용해 제어하는 방법을 제시하였다. 이를 위해 기존의 마이너스 전압 생성회로가 가지는 제약점 및 과부하시 발생되는 문제점을 분석하고, 별도의 전류감지 회로 없이 과부하 상태를 검출해 제어하는 방법을 제시하였다. 제시한 방법의 효과를 확인하기 위해 실험회로를 구성하여 실험을 진행한 결과 기존의 마이너스 전압 생성회로에서는 과부하시 래치-업 상태로 돌입해 회로가 위험한 상태로 진입하는 것에 비해 제시한 회로는 이를 감지해 회로의 동작을 차단하고 이러한 이상상태를 사용자에게 알려 조치를 취할 수 있으며, 회로의 기동시점을 시스템 상태에 맞춰 결정하므로 기동시간이 타임스위치 방식에 비해 약 23%정도로 크게 단축되는 실험결과를 확인하였다.
