Patent ID: 8757985

Claim:
A fan control circuit of a computer, the fan control circuit comprising: a fan interface connected to a connector of a fan of the computer, and comprising a first control pin; an electronic switch chip comprising an enable terminal, a signal input terminal and a signal output terminal, wherein the electronic switch chip is turned on when the enable terminal receives a low-level signal; and a fan controller comprising a general purpose input/output (GPIO) interface and a rotational speed control pin, the rotational speed control pin connected to the first control pin of the fan interface and the signal output terminal of the electronic switch chip, the GPIO interface comprising a second control pin connected to the signal input terminal and the enable terminal of the electronic switch chip for outputting a control signal, wherein the control signal is at a low level at the moment of the computer being started up, the electronic switch chip is turned on and transmits a low-level signal to the first control pin of the fan interface, thereby the fan is not turned on; after a preset delay period of time after the computer is started up, the control signal at the second control pin of the GPIO interface becomes a high-level signal under the control of the fan controller, the electronic switch chip is turned off, and the rotational speed control pin of the fan controller outputs a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal to the first control pin of the fan interface to control the operation of the fan.
