 Foreword
Foreword :
As we know, notebook power is provided by adaptors
(19V) or batteries (14.8V ). However, the various()
power voltages do not fit() all devices in a notebook unit.
So a series of voltage transfer actions are needed to provide
power to all devices. (Problems may arise() during the
voltage transfer.)
As notebook is a portable computer, saving power is also
very important when the system is in battery mode.
In this lesson, we will use the Yuhina power circuit to
introduce the notebook power system.

 1.2 Power sequence and control

Why do we need to differentiate power type among(...) AUX,S5,

S3,S0 ?How do we control them ?

Here is the answer:

AUX Power : For power button use , it is turned on with battery only
before you press the power button .

S5 Power : For power button & wake on LAN use , it is turned on

with adapter before you press the power button .

S3 Power : For stand_by mode use , it is turned on with South bridge

PM_SLP_S3# after you press the power button .

S0 Power : For normal mode use , it is turned on with South bridge -

PM_SLP_S4# after you press the power button .

 d. S3 power Purpose :
Why Notebook needs S3 power Stand-by mode function ?

The stand-by mode function is for power saving when the system is not
operated just as the below setting. So, the S3 power is for this usage.
The system will enter the stand-by mode
if NB remains not operated during 30 mins.
During stand-by mode if power button is
pushed, the system will return to previous
state in 5 sec .
Because the state is resumed from
memory, we need S3 power to keep North
Bridge & DDR working while standing by.
At this state, the battery leakage current is
under 30 mA.

 2. Power plan introduction :
By now we have learned how NB power is generated and
why it must be done in a specific sequence. You might start
to wonder, What is other Power application? In the
following section, I will show you the power consumption of
all devices in a NB. You will learn:

2.1 Power budget block diagram

2.2 NB power application
2.3 Multipower device

26 Notebook Power System Introduction & Troubleshooting

 2. Power plan introduction :(contd)
Create a NB power system with fixed procedure, so
we can know the power budget of all devices from the
power plan procedure .
Design procedure :
a. Power budget :
We must first know the power category and
consumption of all devices, and then we can start to
define the SPEC of power.

b. Power application :
After power SPEC was defined, we need to confirm the
timing & sequence when power is turned on. And
separate them with S5,S3,S0, etc. for the purpose
of power saving.

No power define :
No power means when the power button is pressed, the power
LED is not turned on, and the system is not booted. We can
separate no power in four kinds of states :

3.1 No power debug notice & sequence

3.2 No DCBATOUT or short to GND
3.3 S5 Power No Good
3.4 Power on logic No Good
If power system is good & power LED turned on, but the system
still N.G., it means the system is No work.
You must follow the No work debugging process to troubleshoot
the problems.

There are 6 kinds of power sources in the Yuhina system, so we must check all
of the power output to see if there is any short to GND.

Solution: Check the 5V_S3,3D3V_S5,2D5V_S3,1D5V_S0,VCC_CORE and

charger power one by one .

Following is an example of the 2D5V power source.
1 Use multi-meter 200 scale to check TC32. The impedance must bigger
than 200. If not, it means something short to GND, and we need to find out why.
2 Usually we would remove hi & low side MOS (U65 & U69) and MAX1715. If its still
short to GND, it means some output devices are damaged, and we must try to
remove them one by one .

It will trigger south bridge to send PM_SLP_S4 & S3 signal to turn

follow the circuit to find out the problems, and replace them.
