Problems solved by technology

Because such a solution needs an amplifier, a hysteresis comparator, and a reference voltage VREF, the circuit is generally complicated, and the power consumption is generally too large to greatly reduce the current efficiency; and when the circuit (such as LDO, Charger, etc.) is working normally, the current limit The / short circuit protection circuit is always in the working state of continuous detection and comparison, which greatly wastes power consumption, especially when the load current of the circuit (such as LDO) is 0 or the load current is small, this excessive power consumption will greatly reduce the system. efficiency
The A solution requires an externally integrated precision resistor, which increases the system cost and reduces the system efficiency.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention mainly relates to the field of power management integrated circuits, in particular to a current-limiting short-circuit protection circuit suitable for power management integrated circuits. Background technique [0002] At present, portable electronic devices (such as mobile phones, PDAs, MP3s, etc.) are mainly powered by lithium batteries through a low-dropout linear voltage regulator (LDO) and a switching DC regulator (DCDC). Power tubes are used in these power converters. The quality index of the power converter should be based on safety and reliability as the first principle. However, when DC-DC, LDO and other power management chips are used, the output terminals may be short-circuited due to application errors or other accidents, which will generate a large current, which is enough to burn the chip. Therefore, under the condition that the electrical technical indicators meet the normal use requirements, in order to make the power su...
