Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of charge pumps, and particularly relates to a method and device for preventing current leakage in a dynamic substrate bias of a charge pump switching transistor. Background Art

[0002] In an actual circuit, a charge pump uses MOS transistors as switches. When the charge pump drives a heavy load, due to the limited over-current capacity of the MOS transistors acting as charge pump switches, the drain-bulk or source-bulk of the MOS transistors may conduct forward, causing the parasitic triodes in the MOS transistors to conduct. As a result, a large current flows from the emitter to the collector of the parasitic triode, which also means that a large leakage current occurs from the source / drain terminal of the MOS switch of the charge pump to the DNW or PSUB. Eventually, the driving ability of the charge pump decreases, and the current consumption of the charge pump itself increases, thereby reducing the efficiency of the charge pump. The present invention proposes a dynamic substrate biasing method for MOS switches in a charge pump, which can avoid the situation where the drain-bulk or source-bulk of the MOS switch of the charge pump conducts forward when the charge pump drives a heavy load and causes a large current to flow through the MOS switch, thereby avoiding the large current flowing from the internal nodes of the charge pump to the DNW or PSUB caused by the conduction of the parasitic triode of the MOS transistor. Eventually, the driving ability of the charge pump is improved, the current consumption of the charge pump itself is reduced, and the efficiency of the charge pump is increased. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention is realized through the following technical solutions:

[0004] The present invention provides a method for preventing current leakage in a dynamic substrate bias of a charge pump switching transistor, including a 2X positive voltage charge pump circuit with MOS switches SW1, SW2, SW3, SW4, a storage capacitor Cs1, and non-overlapping clock signals CLKP / CLKN, whose source or drain terminals are periodically turned on or off according to the clock signals.

[0005] According to the type of switching transistor, PMOS, NMOS, or hybrid type, the substrate terminals of each switching transistor are dynamically connected to specific potential nodes Vin, Vout, VA, VB, or GND to ensure that the substrate and the source / drain terminals are reverse-biased in the initial state;

[0006] During the charging phase, CLKP is high and CLKN is low. Switches SW1 and SW4 are turned on, and switches SW2 and SW3 are turned off. The substrate potential of SW1 and SW4 is dynamically adjusted to ensure that the substrate potential is always higher than or equal to the source / drain potential;

[0007] During the pump charge phase, CLKP is low and CLKN is high. Switches SW2 and SW3 are turned on, and switches SW1 and SW4 are turned off. The substrate potential of SW2 and SW3 is dynamically adjusted to ensure that the substrate potential is always higher than or equal to the source / drain potential.

[0008] The substrate connection is switched according to the clock signal, the node voltage is monitored in real time, and the substrate is dynamically connected to the highest potential node corresponding to the current working phase to ensure that the reverse bias condition is always satisfied between the source / drain and the substrate.

[0009] An independent dynamic substrate bias circuit is configured for each of the PMOS switch transistors. This circuit consists of a voltage monitoring module and a potential switching module:

[0010] The voltage monitoring module is used to detect the voltage values of the source end, drain end, and intermediate node of the switch transistor in real time.

[0011] The potential switching module is used to dynamically select the substrate to be connected to the input voltage Vin, the output voltage Vout, or the intermediate node potential VA / VB according to the monitoring results and the current working phase, determined by the CLKP / CLKN state.

[0012] The working phase of the charge pump adjusts the substrate potential:

[0013] During the charging phase, CLKP is high and CLKN is low:

[0014] SW1 and SW4 are turned on, and SW2 and SW3 are turned off;

[0015] The substrate of SW1 is connected to Vin, the source end is connected to VA. If the load increases and causes VA < Vin, the substrate potential Vin is still higher than the source end voltage, maintaining the reverse bias;

[0016] The substrate of SW4 is connected to the VB intermediate node, the source end is grounded. If the load increases and causes VB > 0, the dynamic bias circuit transfers the VB potential to the SW4 substrate to satisfy VB ≥ 0;

[0017] The substrates of the turned-off SW2 and SW3 are respectively connected to Vin and Vout, and the drain end voltages VB and VA are always lower than the substrate potential;

[0018] During the pump power stage, CLKP is low and CLKN is high:

[0019] SW2 and SW3 are turned on, and SW1 and SW4 are turned off;

[0020] The substrate of SW2 is connected to Vin, the drain end is connected to VB. If the load increases and causes VB < Vin, the substrate potential Vin is still higher than the drain end voltage, maintaining the reverse bias;

[0021] The substrate of SW3 is connected to VA, and the source terminal is connected to Vout. If the load increases and causes VA > Vout, the dynamic bias circuit will transfer the VA potential to the substrate of SW3 to make VA ≥ Vout;

[0022] The substrates of the turned-off SW1 and SW4 are respectively connected to VA and V.

[0023] For NMOS switches, hybrid switches, and multi - voltage charge pumps with different charge - pump topologies, the dynamic substrate bias circuit can be adjusted:

[0024] The NMOS switch tube is used to connect the substrate to the lowest potential node monitored dynamically, so that the source / drain voltage ≤ the substrate potential;

[0025] For the hybrid switch, independent dynamic bias circuits are designed for PMOS and NMOS respectively;

[0026] Multi - voltage charge pump: According to the number of intermediate nodes, a potential switching module is added to ensure that the substrate potential of all switch tubes is adapted in real time.

[0027] Extended to other charge - pump architectures, including NMOS switch tubes, hybrid switch tubes, and multi - voltage charge pumps, the substrate connections are dynamically adjusted according to the rules respectively to ensure that the base - emitter of the parasitic triode of all switch tubes is reverse - biased. Through simulation and actual tests, it is verified that under dynamic substrate bias, the base - emitter of the parasitic PNP triode of the PMOS tube is always in the reverse - biased state.

[0028] Verify the working state of the charge pump under light load and heavy load through simulation and actual measurement, and optimize the dynamic bias logic to cover extreme load conditions.

[0029] The power - electronic device of the present invention for a method of preventing current leakage by dynamic substrate bias of charge - pump switch tubes includes: one or more processors, a memory, and one or more programs, where the one or more programs are stored in the memory and are configured to be executed by the one or more processors. The programs include instructions for executing the method of preventing current leakage by dynamic substrate bias as described in any one of claims 1 to 7. The power - electronic device dynamically adjusts the substrate connection of the charge - pump switch tube to a specific potential node, monitors the voltage values of the source terminal, drain terminal, and intermediate nodes in real time, and switches the substrate connection according to the clock signals CLKP / CLKN to ensure that the reverse - bias condition is always satisfied between the source / drain and the substrate, thereby avoiding current leakage caused by the conduction of parasitic PNP / NPN triodes and improving the driving ability and efficiency of the charge pump.

[0030] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0031] 1. By proposing the dynamic biasing technology for the substrate of the MOS switch, the present invention ensures that whether the charge pump is under heavy load or light load, the parasitic PNP / NPN transistors in the MOS switch will not conduct forward, thus avoiding large current leakage from the internal nodes of the charge pump to the Psub / DNW. This not only enhances the driving ability of the charge pump, but also reduces the current consumption of the charge pump itself and improves the efficiency of the charge pump.

[0032] 2. The solution of the present invention is simple, easy to implement, and has a small power consumption / area cost.

[0033] Of course, it is not necessary for any product implementing the present invention to achieve all the above-mentioned advantages simultaneously. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0056] The substrate of SW1 is connected to Vin, and the source terminal is connected to VA. If the load increases and causes VA < Vin, the substrate potential Vin is still higher than the source terminal voltage, maintaining reverse bias;

[0057] The substrate of SW4 is connected to the VB intermediate node, and the source terminal is grounded. If the load increases and causes VB > 0, the dynamic biasing circuit transmits the VB potential to the SW4 substrate to satisfy VB ≥ 0;

[0065] The NMOS switching tube is used to connect the substrate to the lowest potential node monitored dynamically, so that the source / drain terminal voltage ≤ the substrate potential;

[0066] The hybrid switch designs independent dynamic biasing circuits for PMOS and NMOS respectively;

[0067] Multi - voltage charge pump: Add a potential switching module according to the number of intermediate nodes to ensure that the substrate potential of all switching transistors is adapted in real time.

[0068] Extend to other charge pump architectures, including NMOS switching transistors, hybrid switching transistors, and multi - voltage charge pumps. Dynamically adjust the substrate connection according to the rules respectively to ensure that the base - emitter of the parasitic triode of all switching transistors is reverse - biased.

[0072] Figure One Taking a 2 - times positive - voltage charge pump with PMOS switching transistors as an example to illustrate the core idea of the patent, that is, the substrate end of the PMOS switching transistor adopts dynamic biasing technology to ensure that the substrate of the PMOS switching transistor is in the reverse - biased state whether the charge pump is under heavy load or light load, thereby avoiding the internal nodes of the charge pump from leaking current to the PSUB through the parasitic PNP triode in the PMOS switching transistor, reducing the self - current consumption of the charge pump, improving the efficiency of the charge pump, and enhancing the driving ability of the charge pump. In fact, the switching of the 2 - times charge pump can be implemented using PMOS, NMOS, or a combination of PMOS / NMOS switching transistors.
