Three, principle and structure

 

 

●Principle Overview

 

 
1. S9 is composed of 21 voltage domains connected in series. There are 3 BM1387 chips in each voltage domain, and there are 63 BM1387 chips in the whole 

board. 

 
2. The BM1387 has a built-in buck diode with a step-down diode function that is determined by the chip's designated pin 
 
3. S9 is 21 voltage domains (S5+ is 16 voltage domains, S7 54 chip is 18 voltage domains, S7 45 is 15 voltage domains); S9 clock is 25M single crystal 

oscillator, connected in series by The first chip is passed to the last chip. 

 
4. S9 There are independent small heat sinks on the front and back of each chip. The small heat sink on the front side is the SMT patch. The small heat sink on 

the back side is fixed on the back of the IC by the thermal adhesive after the initial measurement. Repair and replacement chip test  
After the test, you need to evenly apply black thermal adhesive on the IC surface and heat it. 

 
It is important to note that

 

 
In the maintenance process, in order to reduce the damage of the high temperature of the air gun to the PCB and the chip when replacing the 
components of the electric board or the chip, it is necessary to first place the small heat sink near the faulty component and the PCB board. 
After the small heat sink on the back is removed, replace it. 
The PCB board has test points anyway, during the maintenance of the production, the front test points can be used when the heat sink is not 
attached to the front of the PCB; the finished product repair (after-sales maintenance), due to the front and back of the PCB 
Covered with heat sinks, it is necessary to locate the fault through the test points of the PCB. The special slender pen can be used to probe the 
gap of the heat sink for measurement, but since the SMT small heat sink is connected to the ground of each voltage domain, 
When measuring, pay attention to the insulation of the test leads to avoid short circuit caused by the test leads. .
