As shown in fig. 1, the pin C5 pin of PCH is strap pin, and the signal is alert signal of SMLINK0, and ESPI/LPC _ EN from CPLD is control signal for controlling the level state of C5.
If the PCH needs to work in an LPC mode, at the moment of power-on, the PCH needs to acquire the low level of the C5 pin, so that an OE1 signal of a buffer1 chip controlled by the CPLD is at the high level, the buffer1 is switched on, the B is connected to the A end, an OE2 signal is set to be at the low level, a buffer2 chip is switched off, the CPLD sets an ESPI/LPC _ EN signal to be at the low level, and at the moment, the C5 pin of the PCH works in the LPC mode after acquiring the low voltage. After the process is completed, the CPLD pulls the OE1 signal low, the buffer1 chip is turned off, the OE2 signal is pulled high, the buffer2 chip is turned on, and the C5 pin is used for transmitting an alert signal of the SMLINK 0.
If the PCH needs to work in an ESPI mode, the high level of the C5 pin needs to be acquired by the PCH at the power-on moment, so that an OE1 signal of a buffer chip controlled by the CPLD is high level, the buffer1 is conducted, the B end is connected to the A end, an OE2 signal is set to be low level, the buffer2 chip is disconnected, the CPLD sets an ESPI/LPC _ EN signal to be high level, and at the moment, the C5 pin of the PCH works in the ESPI mode after acquiring high voltage. After the process is completed, the CPLD pulls the OE1 signal low, the buffer1 chip is turned off, the OE2 signal is pulled high, the buffer2 chip is turned on, and the C5 pin is used for transmitting an alert signal of the SMLINK 0.
As mentioned above, the LPC and ESPI modes are selected by a strap pin of the PCH chip, when the strap pin is at a high level, the PCH operates in the ESPI mode, and when the strap pin is at a low level, the PCH operates in the LPC mode. Meanwhile, power is also switched, when the ESPI mode is selected, the working voltage is 1.8V, and when the LPC mode is selected, the working voltage is 3.3V. The power supply switching process corresponding to the LPC and ESPI modes of operation is shown in figure 2. If the power supply is operated in the LPC mode, 3.3V power supply is needed, the ESPI/LPC _ EN is low level, the MOS tube L4 is conducted, and the PGPPA is 3.3V. When the MOS transistor works in the ESPI mode, 1.8V PGPPA is needed to supply power, the ESPI/LPC _ EN is in a high level, the MOS transistor L2 is conducted, and PGPPA is 1.8V.

6. The server according to claim 5, wherein the first buffer is connected to a mode switching control terminal and a first buffer control terminal of the complex logic programmable device, and an enable terminal of the platform controller hub;
the first buffer is configured to be turned on in response to receiving the first buffer control signal represented by a high level from the first buffer control terminal to feed the mode switching signal received from the mode switching control terminal to the enable terminal of the platform controller hub to determine an operation mode of the platform controller hub based on the mode switching signal;
the complex logic programmable device is configured to send the first buffer control signal represented by a low level through the first buffer control terminal to turn off the first buffer in response to the operating mode of the platform controller hub having been determined.
7. The server according to claim 5, wherein the second buffer is connected to a second buffer control terminal of the complex logic programmable device, an enable terminal of the platform controller hub, and a signal receiving terminal of the baseboard control manager;
the second buffer is configured to be turned off in response to receiving the second buffer control signal at a low level from the second buffer control terminal to prevent the mode switching signal from being fed as the alarm signal to the signal receiving terminal of the baseboard control manager when the enable terminal of the platform controller hub receives the mode switching signal;
the second buffer is further configured to turn on in response to receiving the second buffer control signal at a high level from the second buffer control terminal to feed the alarm signal received from the enable terminal to the signal receiving terminal of the substrate control manager to control the substrate control manager using the operation mode selected based on the mode switching signal by the alarm signal.
8. The server of claim 5, wherein the power switching circuit comprises a plurality of field effect transistors; the power switching circuit is configured to use the plurality of field effect transistors to output a first output voltage that adapts an operating mode corresponding to a low level in response to receiving the mode switching signal represented as a low level, and to use the plurality of field effect transistors to output a second output voltage, different from the first output voltage, that adapts an operating mode corresponding to a high level in response to receiving the mode switching signal represented as a high level.
