By setting the voltage regulation signal, the buffer unit 101 can output a high-precision preset voltage V REF_PRE , V REF_PRE =[1+(R2) / (R1)]×V REF .
[0023] like Figure 3The abnormal state detection unit 102 includes: a first PMOS tube MP1, a second PMOS tube MP2, a third PMOS tube MP3, a fourth PMOS tube MP4, a fifth PMOS tube MP5, a first NMOS tube MN1, a second NMOS tube MN2, a third NMOS tube MN3, a fourth NMOS tube MN4, a current source I1, a first capacitor C2, a second capacitor C3, a first Schmidt inverter SMIT1, a first inverter INV1 and an OR gate NOR1.

[0024] The abnormal state detection unit 102 can perform three abnormal state detections: The first is that the enable signal EN flips from low to high: when the enable signal EN is low, the fourth NMOS tube MN4 is turned off, the current mirror composed of the first PMOS tube MP1 to the fifth PMOS tube MP5 is turned off, and no current charges the second capacitor C3; at the same time, the third NMOS tube MN3 is turned on, and the second capacitor C3 is discharged through the third NMOS tube MN3, so that the input terminal signal of the first Schmidt inverter SMIT1 is 0; when the enable signal EN flips from low to high, the third NMOS tube MN3 is turned off, the fourth NMOS tube MN4 is turned on, and the current mirror charges the second capacitor C3, but a certain delay is required for the first Schmidt inverter SMIT1 to reach the flip threshold, so during this period of time, the input terminal signal of the first Schmidt inverter SMIT1 is still 0, so that the output signal SH of the OR gate NOR is high level, that is, the abnormal state is detected by the abnormal state detection unit 102.
[0025] The second is that the power supply voltage VIN is lower than the preset voltage V output by the adjustable buffer unit 101. REF_PRE : In this state, the output voltage of the operational amplifier A1 is 0, the second NMOS tube MN2 is turned off, and the current mirror charges the first capacitor C2, and quickly pulls the end connected to the first capacitor C2, the drain of the second NMOS tube MN2, and the drain of the second PMOS tube MP2 to a high level, so that the output signal SH of the OR gate NOR is a high level, that is, the abnormal state is detected by the abnormal state detection unit 102.
[0026] The third is any change in the voltage regulation signal: when any change occurs in the y-channel voltage regulation signal, a high-level pulse signal is output, so that the output signal SH of the OR gate NOR is high, that is, the abnormal state is detected by the abnormal state detection unit 102.
[0027] like Figure 3The fast charging control unit 103 includes: a fifth NMOS tube MN5, a third capacitor C4, a second Schmidt inverter SMIT2 and a second inverter INV2. The gate of the fifth NMOS tube MN5 is connected to the output end of the OR gate NOR1, the drain of the fifth NMOS tube MN5 is respectively connected to the drain of the fourth PMOS tube MP4, one end of the third capacitor C4, and the input end of the second Schmidt inverter SMIT2. The other end of the third capacitor C4 and the source of the fifth NMOS tube MN5 are both grounded. The output end of the second Schmidt inverter SMIT2 is connected to the input end of the second inverter INV2, and the output end of the second inverter INV2 is connected to the fast charging path 104. When an abnormal state is detected, the output signal SH of the abnormal state detection unit 102 is high, the fifth NMOS tube MN5 is turned on, and the charge on the third capacitor C4 is quickly discharged to the ground through the fifth NMOS tube MN5, and then the output signal ON is low after passing through the second Schmitt inverter SMIT2 and the second inverter INV2, thereby opening the fast charging path 104; when the abnormal state ends, the output signal SH of the abnormal state detection unit 102 is low, the fifth NMOS tube MN5 is turned off, and the third capacitor C4 is charged through the fourth PMOS tube MP4. When the level on the third capacitor C4 reaches the flip threshold of the second Schmitt inverter SMIT2, the second Schmitt inverter SMIT2 outputs a low level, and the output terminal signal ON of the second inverter INV2 is high, so that the fast charging path 104 is turned off. The present invention controls the size of the charging current through the third capacitor C4 and the fourth PMOS tube MP4, and can control the opening time of the fast charging path 104, thereby ensuring the reference voltage V REF_RC Fully stabilized to the preset voltage V REF_PRE .
[0028] like Figure 4 , the low enable discharge module 107 includes: a sixth NMOS tube MN6 and a seventh NMOS tube MN7, the drain of the sixth NMOS tube MN6 and the drain of the seventh NMOS tube NM7 are both connected to the output end of the adjustable buffer unit 101; the source of the sixth NMOS tube MN6 is grounded, and the source of the seventh NMOS tube MN7 is respectively connected to the output end of the fast charge path 104, the output end of the slow charge path 105, and one end of the filter capacitor C1 106; the gate of the sixth NMOS tube MN6 and the gate of the seventh NMOS tube NM7 are both connected to the output signal ENL of the output end of the first inverter INV1. When the enable signal EN is at a low level, the signal ON output by the fast charge control unit 103 is also at a low level, controlling the fast charge path 104 to be opened, although at this time the preset voltage V REF_PRE and reference voltage V REF_RCThe first and second NMOS transistors MN6 and MN7 are connected through a fast charging path 104. However, since the capacitance of the filter capacitor C1 106 is very large, after the enable signal EN changes from high to low, the filter capacitor C1 106 needs a long time to completely discharge the charge through the low resistance path, and the residual voltage on the filter capacitor C1 106 will deteriorate the performance of the subsequent circuit. The present invention adds a low enable discharge module 107. When the enable signal EN is at a low level, the signal output after the first inverter INV1 is at a high level, the sixth NMOS transistor MN6 and the seventh NMOS transistor MN7 are turned on, and the preset voltage V REF_PRE The sixth NMOS tube MN6 discharges to the ground; along with the preset voltage V REF_PRE The charge on the filter capacitor C1106 will flow to the preset voltage V through the seventh NMOS transistor MN7. REF_PRE , and finally discharged to the ground. Since the sixth NMOS tube MN6 and the seventh NMOS tube MN7 are both switch tubes, the impedance is close to zero, so the charge on the filter capacitor C1 106 will be quickly discharged. When the enable signal EN becomes a high level, the sixth NMOS tube MN6 and the seventh NMOS tube MN7 are turned off, which will not affect the normal operation of the trimming circuit.
[0029] like Figure 5 The fast charge path 104 includes: m+1 tenth PMOS tubes AP, m eleventh PMOS tubes BP, and m+1 second resistors RA.

When the abnormal state detection unit 102 detects an abnormal state, the output signal SH of the abnormal state detection unit 102 is high, the fifth NMOS tube MN5 is turned on, and then the output signal ON of the fast charge control unit is set low, so that the preset voltage V REF_PRE and reference voltage V REF_RC The low resistance fast charge path 104 between is opened, and the reference voltage V REF_RC Can quickly follow the preset voltage V REF_PRESpecifically, the equivalent impedance of the fast charge path 104 is determined by the m+1 second resistors RA, and the m eleventh PMOS tubes BP are controlled by the m-path following speed adjustment signal. By setting the following speed adjustment signal, the reference voltage V REF_RC With the preset voltage V REF_PRE The more PMOS tubes that are turned on in the eleventh PMOS tube BP are controlled by the following speed adjustment signal, the more second resistors RA are connected in parallel to the circuit, and the smaller the equivalent impedance of the fast charging path 104 is, so that the reference voltage V REF_RC With the preset voltage V REF_PRE The faster the change speed. For different application scenarios, the reference voltage V can be adjusted by adjusting the speed adjustment signal. REF_RC After all abnormal states are over, the output signal SH of the abnormal state detection unit 102 is set to 0, the fifth NMOS tube MN5 is turned off, and the fourth PMOS tube MP4 charges the fourth capacitor C4. By setting a reasonable delay, it is ensured that the output signal ON of the fast charging control unit is high level, that is, when the fast charging path 104 is turned off, the reference voltage V REF_RC has been fully stabilized to the preset voltage V REF_PRE .
