Hardware Functional Overview

4.15 Power Subsystem

The Power Subsystem consists of the following major sections:

4.15.1 AC Power Adapter

The computer is equipped with a 60W universal AC power adapter that converts AC voltage (100 to 240VAC, 50 to 60Hz) into DC voltage used to operate the notebook and charge the batteries.

4.15.2 Internal Battery Pack

The computer utilizes Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) that provides DC power for the notebook and real time clock battery on the motherboard when the AC Adapter is not connected to the computer.

The normal charging time for the battery is around 2.5 hours when computer is turn off while it should take around 8 hours when the computer is running. Running time of battery is around 2 to 2.5 hours.

4.15.3 DC-DC Module of Motherboard

The DC-DC module receives approximately 12VDC from the battery pack and uses this input voltage to generate multiple regulated output voltages to provide power for all internal notebook board assemblies.

4.15.4 LCD Inverter Board Assembly

The LCD Inverter Board Assembly is located in the LCD Panel Assembly. It converts the +12VDC input directly from the Battery Pack into a high voltage AC output used to light the CCFT (Cold-Cathode Fluorescent Tube).

4.16 Micro-P Subsystem (PMU-08)

The micro controller Mitsubishi PMU08 acts as a supplement for the power management control. It supports many functions via the SMBus interface.

The system communicates with the PMU08 via the SMBus interface. The SMBus host (M38869) should be first initialized before starting the transaction. The following is the procedure for system communication with PMU08:

1.Enable SMBus interface by writing 01h to SmbHstCfg register.

2.Get SMBus I/O port base address by reading from SmbBA register.

3.Clear SMBus status by writing 1Eh to SmbHstSts register.

4.Write the PMU07 slave address to SmbHstAdd register.

Send command to PMU08 -- Slave address is 04h.

Read data from PMU08 -- Slave address is 05h.

5.Write the desired command to SmbHstCmd register.

6.Write the desired parameters to SmbHstDat0 (High byte) and SmbHstDat1 (Low byte) registers if the system wants to send command to PMU08.

7.Wait for SMBus interrupt occurred by monitoring SmbHstSts register INTR bit.

8.Get the desired data by reading from SmbHstDat0 (High byte) and SmbHstDat1
