[0002] In AMOLED (Active-matrix organic light-emitting diode) power driver management chips, there is a TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) test requirement: the input power supply is subject to interference at regular intervals, fluctuating upwards or downwards by 500mV within 10μs, and this 500mV fluctuation must last for at least 500μs. If such interference occurs, the output of the DC-DC Boost architecture will inevitably experience either overshoot or undershoot.

[0056] Furthermore, to better illustrate this disclosure, numerous specific details are set forth in the following detailed description. Those skilled in the art will understand that this disclosure can be practiced without certain specific details. In some instances, methods, means, components, and circuits well known to those skilled in the art have not been described in detail in order to highlight the main points of this disclosure.

[0057] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a voltage adjustment device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown.

[0058] like Figure 1 As shown, the device includes:

[0059] Voltage input module 10 is used to receive input voltage;

[0060] The current determination module 20 is electrically connected to the voltage input module 10 and is used to determine the adjustment current based on the input voltage and the change of the input voltage with the input voltage at the adjacent previous moment.

[0061] Control module 30 is electrically connected to current determination module 20 and is used to output control signal according to the adjustment current;

[0062] The voltage output module 40 is electrically connected to the voltage input module 10, the current determination module 20 and the control module 30, and is used to output a target voltage according to the control signal and the input voltage.

[0063] Through the above-described device, the embodiments of this disclosure utilize a current determination module to determine the adjustment current based on the input voltage and the change in the input voltage compared to the previous moment. Whenever the input voltage changes, the current determination module can respond quickly, outputting the adjustment current to the control module to generate a control signal. The voltage output module, based on the control signal, can output a stable target voltage without excessive overshoot or undershoot. The voltage adjustment device proposed in this disclosure can output a stable target voltage, respond quickly to changes in input voltage, and is reliable and stable.

[0064] The voltage adjustment device disclosed herein may include a DC-DC conversion circuit, which can output a stable and reliable target voltage based on the input DC voltage.

[0065] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 2 A schematic diagram of a voltage adjustment device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown.

[0066] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 2 As shown, the adjustment current may include a first adjustment current Isink1, and the current determination module 20 may include a first determination unit 210, which is used to determine the first adjustment current.

[0067] Please refer to the following: Figure 3 , Figure 3 A schematic diagram of a first determining unit according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown.

[0068] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 3 As shown, the first determining unit may include a first operational amplifier OP1, a first transistor Q1, a second transistor Q2, a third transistor Q3, a fourth transistor Q4, a fifth transistor Q5, and a first resistor R1, wherein,

[0069] The positive input terminal of the first operational amplifier OP1 is used to receive the input voltage Vin. The negative input terminal of the first operational amplifier OP1 is electrically connected to the source of the first transistor Q1 and the first end of the first resistor. The output terminal of the first operational amplifier OP1 is electrically connected to the gate of the first transistor Q1. The second end of the first resistor R1 is grounded.

[0070] The drain of the first transistor Q1 is electrically connected to the source of the second transistor Q2, the gate of the second transistor Q2, and the gate of the third transistor Q3.

[0071] The drain of the second transistor Q2 and the drain of the third transistor Q3 are used to receive the power supply voltage Vdd.

[0072] The source of the third transistor Q3 is electrically connected to the source of the fourth transistor Q4, the gate of the fourth transistor Q4, and the gate of the fifth transistor Q5.

[0073] The source of the fourth transistor Q4 and the source of the fifth transistor Q5 are grounded.

[0074] The drain of the fifth transistor Q5 is used to output the first adjustment current Isink1.

[0075] With the above-described device, the embodiments of this disclosure determine a first adjustment current Isink1 in response to changes in the input voltage by a first determining unit, so as to compensate for changes in the input voltage and generate a control signal, thereby stabilizing the output voltage and reducing the fluctuation of the output voltage when the input voltage changes.

[0076] In one example, when Vin changes by a variable ΔVin, when Vin is input to the first determining unit, the change in the first adjusting current Isink1 can be determined by the first determining unit as ΔIsink1 = gm1 * ΔVin, where gm1 represents the adjustment parameter determined in advance, Vin represents the input voltage, and "*" represents the multiplication operation.

[0077] In this way, when the first adjustment current is input to the control module, the control module can use the first adjustment current to compensate for the change in the input voltage and generate a control signal to adaptively adjust the magnitude of the output voltage, thereby making the fluctuation of the output voltage small.

[0078] It should be noted that the specific size of gm1 is not limited in the embodiments disclosed herein, and those skilled in the art can determine it through simulation as needed.

[0079] Please continue reading. Figure 2 In one possible implementation, such as Figure 2As shown, the adjustment current may further include a second adjustment current Isink2, and the current determination module 2 may further include a second determination unit. The second determination unit is used to determine the second adjustment current. The second determination unit may include a current detection subunit 220, a multiplication subunit 230, and a current determination subunit 240, wherein...

[0080] The current detection subunit 220 is electrically connected to the voltage output module and is used to detect the load current and obtain the detection voltage Vctrl based on the load current.

[0081] The multiplication subunit 230 is electrically connected to the voltage output module and the voltage input module, and is used to perform a multiplication operation on the input voltage Vin and the detection voltage Vctrl to obtain an intermediate voltage.

[0082] The current determination subunit 240 is electrically connected to the multiplication subunit 230 and is used to determine the second adjustment current Isink2 based on the intermediate voltage.

[0083] With the above-described device, the embodiments of this disclosure can control the control signal in response to changes in the input voltage, so as to stabilize the output voltage. Furthermore, by combining the detected voltage obtained from the load current detected by the current detection subunit with the input voltage to control the control signal, stable voltage output can be achieved under different load conditions.

[0084] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 2 As shown, the current detection subunit 220 may include a sixth transistor Q6, a seventh transistor Q7, a second operational amplifier OP2, a second resistor R2, and a first capacitor C1, wherein,

[0085] The gate of the sixth transistor Q6 is used to receive the control signal, the drain of the sixth transistor Q6 is electrically connected to the voltage input module, and the source of the sixth transistor Q6 is electrically connected to the positive input terminal of the second operational amplifier OP2 and the drain of the seventh transistor Q7.

[0086] The negative input terminal of the second operational amplifier OP2 is electrically connected to the voltage output module, and the output terminal of the second operational amplifier OP2 is electrically connected to the gate of the seventh transistor Q7. The source of the seventh transistor Q7 is electrically connected to the first terminal of the second resistor R2 and the first terminal of the first capacitor C1.

[0087] The second terminal of the second resistor R2 and the second terminal of the first capacitor C1 are grounded.

[0088] The first terminal of the second resistor R2 is used to output the detection voltage Vctrl.

[0089] With the above device, the embodiments of this disclosure can detect the load current through the current detection subunit, determine the detection voltage based on the detected load current, and determine the second adjustment current based on the detection voltage. This can compensate for changes at the load end, thereby enabling control of the control signal based on different load conditions.

[0090] In one example, during detection, the current detection subunit can average the current of the eighth transistor at (1-D)T*IL to obtain the detection voltage Vtrcl=(1-D)T*IL*R, where D represents the duty cycle, T represents the clock period, IL represents the inductance of the input inductor L, and R represents the resistance of the second resistor R2.

[0091] The current detection subunit can convert the load current value into a detection voltage Vctrl = α * Id, where α represents a preset parameter and Id represents the load current.

[0092] In one example, the multiplication subunit may include an analog multiplier. The embodiments of this disclosure do not limit the implementation of the multiplier. Those skilled in the art can implement it using dedicated hardware circuits as needed, or by using existing analog multipliers.

[0093] The intermediate voltage output by the multiplication subunit is Vmul = β * Vctrl * Vin = α * β * Id * Vin, where β represents the preset multiplication parameter.

[0094] In one example, the current determination subunit 240 outputs a second adjustment current Isink2 = gm2 * Vmul = gm2 * α * β * Id * Vin, where gm2 is a preset parameter of the current determination subunit.

[0095] In one example, the change in the adjustment current output by the current determination module 20 can be expressed as △Isink=△Isink1+△Isink2=gm1*△Vin+gm2*α*β*Id*Vin=(gm1+gm2*α*β*Id)*Vin.

[0096] The implementation of the current determination subunit 240 can be referred to the implementation of the first determination unit 210, and will not be repeated here.

[0097] Through the above-described device, the embodiments of this disclosure can achieve a rapid response to the input voltage and provide compensation for different loads. Therefore, the device can adapt to a variety of loads and increases environmental adaptability.

[0098] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 2As shown, the voltage output module 40 may include an eighth transistor Q8, a ninth transistor Q9, a tenth transistor Q10, an eleventh transistor Q11, a third operational amplifier OP3, a third resistor R3, a fourth resistor R4, and a second capacitor C2, wherein...

[0099] The gate of the eighth transistor Q8 is electrically connected to the gate of the sixth transistor Q6, the gate of the tenth transistor Q10, and the control module, and is used to receive the control signal.

[0100] The drain of the eighth transistor Q8 is electrically connected to the drain of the ninth transistor Q9, the drain of the sixth transistor Q6, the drain of the tenth transistor Q10, and the voltage input module.

[0101] The source of the eighth transistor Q8 is electrically connected to the negative input terminal of the third operational amplifier OP3, the negative input terminal of the second operational amplifier OP2, the first terminal of the third resistor R3, and the first terminal of the second capacitor C2. The second terminal of the third resistor R3 is electrically connected to the control module and the first terminal of the fourth resistor R4. The second terminal of the fourth resistor R4 is grounded, and the second terminal of the second capacitor C2 is grounded.

[0102] The gate of the ninth transistor Q9 is electrically connected to the control module for receiving the control signal, and the source of the ninth transistor Q9 is grounded.

[0103] The positive input terminal of the third operational amplifier OP3 is electrically connected to the source of the tenth transistor Q10 and the drain of the eleventh transistor Q11, and the output terminal of the third operational amplifier OP3 is electrically connected to the gate of the eleventh transistor Q11.

[0104] The source of the eleventh transistor Q11 is electrically connected to both the current determination module and the control module.

[0105] The first terminal of the third resistor R3 is used to output the target voltage.

[0106] With the above device, the voltage output module of this embodiment can realize voltage output according to the control signal and the input voltage passed from the input module, so as to output a stable target voltage.

[0107] In one possible implementation, the target voltage can be obtained according to the following formula:

[0108] Vout = Vin / (1-D), where D can represent the duty cycle of the control signal.

[0109] Therefore, by adjusting the duty cycle of the control signal, this disclosure can quickly respond to changes in the input voltage and output the desired target output voltage.

[0110] The following describes possible implementations of the voltage input module 10. It should be understood that the following description is exemplary and should not be regarded as a limitation of this disclosure.

[0111] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 2 As shown, the voltage input module 10 may include an input capacitor Cin and an input inductor L, wherein,

[0112] The first terminal of the input capacitor Cin is electrically connected to the first terminal of the input inductor L to receive the input voltage, and the second terminal of the input capacitor Cin is grounded.

[0113] The second terminal of the input inductor L is electrically connected to the drain of the ninth transistor Q9, the drain of the eighth transistor Q8, the drain of the sixth transistor Q6, and the drain of the tenth transistor Q10.

[0114] It should be noted that although this disclosure uses an input capacitor as an example, it should be understood that this disclosure is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the input capacitor can be replaced by an input capacitor network composed of multiple capacitors. The input capacitor network may include multiple capacitors, and this disclosure does not limit their connection relationship and number.

[0115] In one possible implementation, the input inductor L can be set or replaced by multiple inductors, and the multiple inductors can be connected in series, in parallel or in combination thereof. This disclosure does not limit the number of inductors or their connection relationship included in the input inductor L.

[0116] The following describes possible implementations of the control module 30. It should be understood that the following description is exemplary and should not be regarded as a limitation of this disclosure.

[0117] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 2 As shown, the control module 30 may include an error amplifier gm, a reference resistor Rea, a reference capacitor Cea, a comparator CMP, an oscillator, a trigger, a pulse width modulation (PWM) controller, a current source Iramp, a reset switch Vreset, a capacitor Cramp, and a sampling resistor Rramp, wherein:

[0118] The positive terminal of the error amplifier gm is electrically connected between the third resistor and the fourth resistor, and is used to input the feedback voltage signal Vfb of the voltage output module 40. The negative terminal is used to input the reference voltage Vref. The output terminal is electrically connected to the first terminal of the reference resistor Rea and the negative terminal of the comparator CMP.

[0119] The second terminal of the reference resistor Rea is electrically connected to the first terminal of the reference capacitor Cea, and the second terminal of the reference capacitor Cea is grounded.

[0120] The positive terminal of the comparator CMP is electrically connected to the current source Iramp, the first terminal of the capacitor Cramp, and the first terminal of the reset switch, and is used to input the comparison voltage Vramp. The output terminal of the comparator CMP is electrically connected to the first terminal R of the flip-flop.

[0121] The output terminal of the current determination module is electrically connected to the second terminal of the reset switch, the second terminal of the capacitor Cramp, and the first terminal of the sampling resistor Rramp, and outputs the first adjustment current Isink1 and / or the second adjustment current Isink2. The second terminal of the sampling resistor Rramp is grounded.

[0122] The second terminal S of the flip-flop is electrically connected to the output terminal of the oscillator and is used to receive the clock signal CLK output by the oscillator. The output terminal Q of the flip-flop is electrically connected to the input terminal of the PWM controller.

[0123] The first output terminal of the PWM controller is electrically connected to the gate of the ninth transistor, and the second output terminal is electrically connected to the gates of the eighth transistor, the tenth transistor, and the sixth transistor.

[0124] In one possible implementation, the trigger can be configured as follows:

[0125] When the input at the first terminal R is high (1), the output at the output terminal Q is 1;

[0126] When the second input S is high, the output Q is 0.

[0127] In one possible implementation, the PWM controller can be configured to:

[0128] When the input is 1, the output is 1;

[0129] When the input is 0, the output is 0.

[0130] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the voltage determination module may include a first determination unit and / or a second determination unit.

[0131] For the voltage determination module including the first determination unit, in one possible implementation, when the input voltage increases, for example, when Vin changes by a variable of ΔVin, when Vin is input to the first determination unit, the first determination unit can determine the change of the first adjustment current Isink1 as ΔIsink1=gm1*ΔVin. In this way, the initial level of Vramp changes by a component of gm1*ΔVin*Rramp. This change is used to ensure that the output of Vea remains as unchanged as possible. With Vref remaining unchanged, this means that the change in Vfb is small, that is, the change in ΔVout is small, thereby reducing the fluctuation of the output voltage. In this way, the voltage output module 40 can output a stable target voltage.

[0132] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 4 A schematic diagram of voltage variation in the DC-DC architecture of the relevant technology is shown.

[0133] Please see Figure 5 , Figure 5 A schematic diagram of voltage change in a voltage adjustment device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown.

[0134] like Figure 4 As shown in the related technology, when the input voltage Vin changes, the change in the voltage output Vout acts on the error amplifier gm and affects Vea. When Vea changes more, the new duty cycle D is adjusted more slowly through the loop. Therefore, the output voltage that jumps up or down with the input voltage will be very large. In this case, the peak-to-peak value of the output voltage Vout can reach 130mV.

[0135] like Figure 5 As shown, by determining the first adjustment current through the first determining unit in this embodiment of the present disclosure to control the control module, the fluctuation of the output voltage can be greatly reduced, and the peak-to-peak value of the output voltage is only 30mV.

[0136] As can be seen, this scheme can respond well to changes in input voltage, and the peak-to-peak value of the output voltage change, Vpp, has been reduced from 130mV to 30mV.

[0137] To adapt to load changes, the current determination module in this embodiment may further include a second determination unit. The first adjustment current determined by the first determination unit and the second adjustment current determined by the second determination unit can work together on the control module, so that the control module can respond quickly to changes in input voltage and adapt to different load conditions.

[0138] Please see Figure 6 , Figure 6 A schematic diagram of voltage changes in a voltage adjustment device without the second determining unit is shown.

[0139] Please see Figure 7 , Figure 7 A schematic diagram of voltage changes in a voltage adjustment device employing a second determining unit is shown.

[0140] like Figure 6 As shown, since gm1 needs to be determined in advance based on the set load size in the first determining unit, the balance point is selected between light and heavy loads. For loads that are too light or too heavy, the compensation is often insufficient or overflows. Therefore, when Figure 6 Without a second determining unit to detect the load current, the voltage regulation device cannot adapt to changes in the load, and the load changes ( Figure 6 When the load current Id is in the load current, the peak-to-peak value of the output voltage change ΔVout has large fluctuations.

[0141] like Figure 7 As shown, by setting a first determining unit to quickly respond to changes in input voltage to determine the first adjustment current, and setting a second determining unit to detect and compensate for the load current, the voltage adjustment device can not only achieve a rapid response to changes in input voltage, but also provide compensation for different loads. Under different loads, the peak-to-peak value of the output voltage Vout fluctuation range Vpp is within 20mV, thereby improving the environmental adaptability of the device and enabling the performance of the power supply fastline excitation in TDMA testing to meet the requirements of SPEC and meet the TDMA testing requirements of AMOLED in various application environments.

[0142] It should be understood that this disclosure does not limit the selection of the various components of the control module 30 or the selection of the reference voltage, which can be determined by those skilled in the art as needed.
