Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a surge suppression device, specifically to a surge suppressor chip and a high-side intelligent driver. Background Technology
[0002] When an electronic system is turned on or off, or when it is subjected to external interference (such as lightning strikes or power supply disruptions), transient voltages or currents exceeding the normal operating range of the electronic system may occur. Therefore, surge suppression chips are typically installed in electronic systems to prevent irreversible damage to electronic components caused by such situations and to protect the electronic system from operating within its normal current and voltage range.
[0003] Surge suppression circuit reference for traditional surge suppressor chips Figure 1 This includes MOSFETs M1 and M2, comparator A0, resistors R1 and R2, and a charge pump. The resistor divider network consisting of resistors R1 and R2 is used to detect the voltage V at the OUT terminal. OUT Size. When the electronic system is operating normally, V OUT When the voltage is less than the preset value, comparator A0 outputs a low level, MOSFET M2 is turned off, and the gate voltage of MOSFET M1 is raised by the charge pump, making the OUT terminal voltage equal to the VIN terminal voltage. When the electronic system experiences a surge voltage that causes the VIN terminal voltage to be too high, the OUT terminal voltage will also be higher than the preset value. Comparator AO outputs a high level, MOSFET M2 is turned on, and the gate voltage of MOSFET M1 is pulled to the OUT terminal voltage. When MOSFET M1 is turned off, the OUT terminal voltage is clamped to the level shown in the formula VOUT=(1+R1 / R2)*Vref, where Vref is the reference voltage and VOUT is the OUT terminal voltage.
[0004] The above analysis shows that existing surge suppression chips need to meet the following conditions to operate normally: VOUT = VIN, where VIN is the voltage at the VIN terminal. Since VOUT and VIN fluctuate greatly across the entire range, when detecting the voltage difference between VOUT and VIN, the gate oxide withstand voltage requirement of the internal devices of the surge suppression chip is too high (0~VIN, up to several hundred volts). No process can meet the design requirements. Therefore, how to detect the normal operating conditions of the surge suppression chip has become a design challenge for surge suppression chips. Summary of the Invention

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. In the solution of the present invention, the surge judgment comparison module in the surge suppression unit detects the VBB voltage in real time. When the VBB terminal voltage exceeds the preset value, it is determined that a surge voltage or surge current has been generated. The slope detection module detects the rise slope of the VBB voltage. When the rise slope is higher than the preset slope, the gate voltage of the power MOSFET is pulled down to turn it off, preventing the power MOSFET and load device from being burned out due to transient large current or high voltage. The surge judgment comparison module outputs a signal to make the gate voltage limiting unit work. The gate voltage limiting unit keeps the GATE terminal voltage within the set range to protect the power MOSFET and load device.
[0016] 2. In the prior art, the chip ground and the load ground may often be different. If the voltage across the pull-down resistor is directly detected, the output voltage may exceed the preset range due to the difference in reference ground. Since the chip and the load share the same OUT terminal, the solution of this invention detects the voltage of the OUT terminal by detecting the voltage across the R5 resistor. Therefore, detecting the pull-up resistor voltage (i.e., Vout-VFB) can avoid the output voltage exceeding the preset range due to the difference in reference ground, which could damage the power MOSFET and the load.

[0026] The slope detection module is mainly used to detect the rising slope of the voltage at the VBB terminal. When the rising slope is higher than the preset slope, it pulls down the gate voltage of the power MOSFET to turn it off.

The gate and drain of MOSFET N5 are shorted and then connected to the gate of MOSFET N6. The drain of MOSFET N5 is connected to the other end of resistor R4. One end of capacitor C3 serves as the first input terminal of the slope detection module, connected to the VBB terminal, and the other end is connected to the drain of MOSFET N5. The drain of MOSFET N6 serves as the output terminal of the slope detection module, connected to the GATE terminal.
[0027] The surge detection and comparison module is mainly used to determine whether the VBB terminal voltage exceeds a preset value. Its second input terminal is connected to the FB terminal, its output terminal is connected to the input terminal of the gate voltage limiting unit and the logic control unit, and its fourth input terminal is connected to the OUT terminal. Specifically, in this embodiment, the surge detection and comparison module is implemented using a second comparator U2. The non-inverting input terminal of the second comparator U2 is connected to the output terminal of the high-side reference generation module, the inverting input terminal is connected to the FB terminal, and its output terminal is connected to the input terminal of the gate voltage limiting unit and the logic control unit, respectively.

Of course, in other embodiments of the present invention, those skilled in the art can also implement the above functions using other circuits.
[0028] The output of the gate voltage limiting unit is connected to the GATE terminal, primarily used to maintain the GATE terminal voltage within a set range. For details, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 4(Vref2 in the diagram is the output voltage of the high-side reference generation module). The gate voltage limiting unit includes MOSFETs M2, M3, M4, M5, and M6, and NOT gate U3. The source of MOSFET M2 is connected to the charge pump, and its gate is connected to the input of NOT gate U3. The source of MOSFET M3 is connected to the reference current I1 in the surge suppressor chip, its gate is connected to the output of NOT gate U3, and its drain is connected to the drains of MOSFETs M2 and M4. The drains of MOSFETs M3, M2, and M4 are all connected to the gates of the power MOSFETs. The source of MOSFET M4 is connected to the source of MOSFET M5, and its gate is connected to the gate of MOSFET M5 and the drain of MOSFET M6. The drain of MOSFET M2 serves as the output of the gate voltage limiting unit and is connected to the gate of the power MOSFET. The gate of MOSFET M6 and the input of NOT gate U3 serve as the input of the gate voltage limiting unit and are connected to the output of the surge judgment comparison module.
[0029] The scheme in this application realizes the voltage detection of the OUT terminal through the voltage on resistor R5. The voltage Vout is detected by the voltage divider network of resistors R5 and R6. Under normal operation, comparator U2 outputs a low level, MOSFET M6 is off, MOSFET M2 is on, and MOSFET M3 is off. The gate voltage of the power MOSFET is provided by the charge pump, and Vout=Vbb. When a surge voltage is detected, MOSFET M6 is turned on, MOSFET M2 is off, and MOSFET M3 is on. The gate voltage of the power MOSFET is determined by the current source I1 and MOSFET M6. The gate voltage is limited, and the power MOSFET withstands the surge. When stable, the voltages at the non-inverting input and the inverting input of comparator U2 are equal.
[0030] refer to Figure 5 In the diagram, the horizontal axis represents time, and the vertical axis represents voltage. From top to bottom, VBB, Vin, and V are respectively. GATE V OUT , Gate-source voltage V of power MOSFET GS .
[0031] After VBB is powered on, it supplies power to the chip to enable normal operation. At time T1, the VIN terminal signal is high, and the power MOSFET is normally turned on. At time T2, a surge voltage is generated, and the VBB voltage suddenly rises. The surge detection module detects that VBB is higher than the preset value and determines that a surge voltage or surge current has occurred. It then pulls the voltage at the GATE terminal down to the OUT terminal through the slope detection module, turning off the power MOSFET. At this time, due to the power consumption of the external load, the voltage at the OUT terminal drops. GSWhen the power MOSFET is turned on again, the current source I1 supplies power to the GATE terminal. The system is stabilized through the loop regulation of the OUT terminal, surge suppression unit, gate voltage limiting unit, GATE terminal, and OUT terminal. At this time, the values of the non-inverting input terminal and the inverting input terminal of the surge suppression detection unit are equal, and the output signal makes the gate voltage limiting unit work, thus limiting the gate voltage of the power MOSFET.
[0032] This embodiment provides a high-side intelligent driver, on which the aforementioned surge suppressor chip is disposed.
