Abstract

The invention discloses a soft start circuit which is used for protecting chips by a multi-mode step-down DC-DC converter in the starting stage. The large overshoot current of the DC-DC converter in the starting stage easily causes damage to a power switch, and the power losses of the chips are increased. According to the soft start circuit, a charging current generator is used for charging a capacitor, a current limiting circuit is used for detecting the voltage on the capacitor in real time to output the current limiting voltage, and therefore the safety soft start of the chips is guaranteed. Through a soft start process finishing judgment circuit, the soft start circuit enables the chips to work under the soft start and normal working states in real time, and a turn-off circuit can be used for turning off partial non-working circuits of the chips according to the modulation modes of the chips. By means of the soft start scheme provided by the soft start circuit, the overshoot current in the starting stage can be effectively restrained, accordingly, power switches of the chips are protected, and the efficiency of the chips is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of power supply management, in particular to an on-chip soft start circuit of a multi-mode step-down DC-DC (direct current-direct current) converter. Background technique [0002] One of the main factors restricting the development of portable communication and entertainment electronic terminals is the working time of the battery. The fast and smooth switching of the power system from the standby state to the working state can reduce the power loss caused by the power supply, thereby prolonging the working time of the battery. Since the output capacitor of the voltage management chip needs to be charged from 0V to the expected voltage value during the startup process, this will cause a large overshoot current during the charging process (Kimio SHIBATA, Cong-Kha PHAM, ADC-DC Converter Using A High Speed ​​Soft-Start Control Circuit, Circuits and Systems (ISCAS) Proceeding of 2010 IEEE International Symposium ...
