Abstract

A power supply circuit for a motherboard includes a VRM, a first NMOS transistor, a second NMOS transistor, a first capacitor, a first induction coil, and a delay circuit. A gate of the first NMOS transistor is connected to a UGATE pin of the VRM. A source of the first NMOS transistor is connected to a BOOT pin of the VRM via the first capacitor and a PHASE pin of the VRM, and connected to an MCH on the motherboard via the first induction coil. A drain of the first NMOS transistor is connected to a system power. A gate of the second NMOS transistor is connected to an LGATE pin of the VRM. A source of the second NMOS transistor is grounded. A drain of the second NMOS transistor is connected to the source of the first NMOS transistor and the delay circuit.
