Abstract

The invention relates to an integrated circuit technology, in particular to the application of a load adaptive sectional driving circuit in a buck voltage stabilizing circuit (also called BUCK circuit). The invention discloses an adaptive sectional driving direct current to direct current (DC-DC) converter. According to the adaptive sectional driving DC-DC converter, m p-channel metal oxide semiconductor (PMOS) power tubes and N-channel metal oxide semiconductor (NMOS) power tubes which are connected in parallel, form a switching circuit to drive different amount of power tubes to switch according to different load current magnitudes; less power tubes are driven under a light load condition, equivalently, the power of the power tubes is lowered, so that the driving loss and switching loss are reduced under the light load condition. Furthermore, the driving way of the power tubes is changed; and the switch-on amount of the power tubes is changed by detecting the change of load current, so that the sum of the conduction loss and driving loss of the power tubes is minimized; and therefore, the efficiency of the DC-DC converter is increased, in particular the efficiency under light load. The adaptive sectional driving DC-DC converter is particularly suitable for the buck voltage stabilizing circuit.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to integrated circuit technology, in particular to a load self-adaptive segmented driving circuit, and its application in a step-down voltage stabilizing circuit (also called a BUCK circuit). Background technique [0002] The integrated step-down voltage converter (BUCK) circuit structure is as figure 1 As shown, it includes an energy conversion unit 1 , a drive unit 2 and a feedback control unit 3 . The energy conversion unit 1 usually includes a switch conversion circuit composed of two power transistors, a PMOS (P-channel metal oxide semiconductor) power transistor and an NMOS (N-channel metal oxide semiconductor) power transistor, figure 1 are marked as PMOS and NMOS respectively. Under the control of the output signal of the drive unit 2, the PMOS power transistor and the NMOS power transistor work in the switching state, and convert the input high-voltage direct current Vdd into a square wave signal output, and fin...
