4 Notebook Power System Introduction & Troubleshooting
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.

9 Notebook Power System Introduction & Troubleshooting

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 .

MAX1999_LDO5 = 5V_S5
30mA MAX.
MAX1999_LDO3
DCBATOUT


a. When the battery or adaptor is
plugged-in(), DCBATOUT will
input the power into MAX1999 pin
20_V+ , and pin 18 LDO5 will
provide the 5V_AUX_S5 power .

c. The 5V_AUX_S5 is never off when
MAX1999 is working, unless
something goes wrong with
MAX1999 .

b. The AUX power is used on
power on logic & South Bridge.
As it is battery only, the leakage
current must be as little as possible.
In general, it is about 5~6 mA.
1.2.1 AUX_Power
12 Notebook Power System Introduction & Troubleshooting
The AC_IN signal was pulled hi when Adaptor was inserted .
Power on logic will output MAX1999_SD hi to trigger 3D3V_S5.
As a result, when Adaptor is inserted but power button has yet been
pressed,the S5_power will be turned on first .

14 Notebook Power System Introduction & Troubleshooting
When AC_IN is HI,
The MOS-U13 will be turned on, and 3D3V_LAN_S5 will be generated.
This power is for wake on LAN function.
The 1D5V_S5 LDO power will be turned on by 3D3V_S5 .
This power is for south bridge for wake on LAN usage .
Because adaptor power was inserted already, the Battery leakage current is not
a concern now

c. Circuit operation 2D5V_S3 :
18 Notebook Power System Introduction & Troubleshooting

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

19 Notebook Power System Introduction & Troubleshooting
After PM_SLP_S4# signal was generated for a few sec , the
South Bridge will output PM_SLP_S3# on hi level, and 1D5V_S0 will

CM2843 provides 1D2V_VID to CPU.
CPU provides VID code
PWRGD_VID, which is provided by CM2843, will delay 1ms
while 1D2V_VID is on. So it will be turned on after the CPU VID code.

The power system can separate two kinds of architecture for CPU.
But the only difference between P4 and Banias CPU power
architecture is VCC_COER_S0. Such as below :

26 Notebook Power System Introduction & Troubleshooting
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
2. Power plan introduction :

27 Notebook Power System Introduction & Troubleshooting
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 :
b. Power application :
We must first know the power category and
consumption of all devices, and then we can start to
define the SPEC of power.
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 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
No power define :
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 is no any response when the power button was pressed and

Adaptor power LED flashes or shuts down .

Solution: Open the system case and use the multi-meter 200V scale to
check AD+ or DCBATOUT between GND as below . If the voltage is
less than 5V,we can make sure it is short to GND .

Following is an example of the 2D5V power source.
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.
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 .

MAX1999_LDO5 = 5V_S5
30mA MAX.
MAX1999_LDO3
There is no any response when the power button
was pressed and adaptor has already plugged-in.
Adaptor power LED is normal .
3.3.2 Debugging :
Open the case, use multi-meter to check if MAX1999
pin18 5V_S5 power is good.
If not, it means MAX1999 or some 5V_S5 devices are
damaged. Remove all powers, use multi-meter to check
MAX1999 pin18 Impedance .
If the impedance is smaller than 200, it means some
5V_S5 devices are damaged, and we must try to
remove the component one by one.
If the impedance is more than 200, it means the
MAX1999 have some problem, and it must be changed.
3.3 S5 Power No Good :

39 Notebook Power System Introduction & Troubleshooting
Next we must check 3D3V_S5. If 3D3V_DC_S5 is N.G, we could use multi-
meter to check MAX1999 pin20 (19V), pin17, 28, 3 (5V) if powers are all
good. If N.G, please check the source component.

3.3.2 Debugging : (contd)

40 Notebook Power System Introduction & Troubleshooting
3.4.1 Symptom :
If the previous two symptoms are checked ok, but the system still
has no power on, then we should check the power on logic circuit as
below .
When power button was pressed, PWRBTN# will be pulled low.
After a series of logic actions, the SHUTDOWN_S5 will also be
pulled low.

3.4 Power on logic N.G :

41 Notebook Power System Introduction & Troubleshooting
If the power on logic circuit is correct, we can track the south
bridge trigger logic .
When the power button is pressed, PWRBTN# will be pulled low ,
After the logic action, the PWRBTN#_ICH will also be pulled low.
It will trigger south bridge to send PM_SLP_S4 & S3 signal to turn
on S3 & S0 power .

42 Notebook Power System Introduction & Troubleshooting
3.4.2 Debugging :
If SHUTDOWN_S5 is not pulled low, it means some logic ICs or
components during this path are N.G.. If it is the case, then just
follow the circuit to find out the problems, and replace them.

If the PWRBTN#_ICH is not pulled low, it means some logic ICs
or components during this path are N.G. If it is the case, then just
follow the circuit to find out the problems, and replace them.

If the PM_SLP_S4 & S3 is not pulled hi, maybe the south bridge
is damaged .
3. No Power Debug
