Abstract: An isolation driver circuit for a pulse width modulation signal. The isolation driver circuit includes a rising edge detection circuit, a falling edge detection circuit, and a decoder. The rising edge detection circuit and the falling edge detection circuit respectively detect rising edges and falling edges of the input pulse width modulation signal, and respectively output corresponding rising edge detection signals and falling edge detection signals that are capacitively isolated from the input pulse width modulation signal. The decoder receives the rising edge detection signals and the falling edge detection signals, and outputs respective rising edges and falling edges of an output pulse width modulation signal that temporally align with the respective rising edges and falling edges of the input pulse width modulation signal. Thus, information stored in the pulse widths of the input pulse width modulation signal are preserved with high fidelity in the output pulse width modulation signal.

Abstract: A circuit that is capable of generating a negative voltage on a negative voltage supply node. The circuit includes a negative voltage generation circuit, an oscillator and an oscillator control signal generator. The negative voltage generation circuit generates a negative voltage on the negative voltage supply node in response to receiving a signal from the oscillator. The negative voltage generated by the negative voltage generation circuit depends upon the frequency of the signal from the oscillator. The oscillator control signal generator controls the frequency of the signal from the oscillator by sensing the negative voltage present on the negative voltage supply node, and by increasing or decreasing the frequency of the signal from the oscillator accordingly. Thus, charge is replenished to the negative voltage supply node to more closely match the drawing of charge from that negative voltage supply node, thereby more accurately generating the negative voltage.

Abstract: Techniques for enhancing security for replacement motherboards are disclosed. In response to a replacement motherboard being installed into a host computing system and being powered on, a service raises a replacement motherboard event flag. The service then detects an attempt to log into an out-of-band management platform of the replacement motherboard. This login involves use of a set of default credentials. In response, the service locks user access to the out-of-band management platform. The service triggers the host computing system to power on. The host computing system then initiates a BIOS boot operation. As a part of that operation, the service provides a user selectable option to restore a previously stored configuration that is usable to configure the replacement motherboard.
