[0058] Figure 1 A voltage generating unit according to one embodiment of the present disclosure is shown.
[0059] like Figure 1 As shown, the voltage generating unit may include a first voltage generating module 110 , a first voltage adjusting module 111 , a first analog-to-digital conversion module 112 , a second voltage generating module 120 , a second voltage adjusting module 121 , a second analog-to-digital conversion module 122 and an adding module 130 .
[0060] The first voltage generating module 110 may be configured to generate a first voltage V1 , and the first voltage V1 is provided to the first voltage adjusting module 111 .
[0061] The first voltage adjustment module 111 is used to adjust the first voltage V1 to generate an adjustment voltage. For example, the first voltage adjustment module 111 can multiply the first voltage V1 by a coefficient M to generate an adjustment voltage M*V1. The first voltage adjustment module 111 obtains the voltage value of the adjustment voltage by adjusting the coefficient M. The adjustment coefficient M can change in a step-like manner.
[0062] The first analog-to-digital conversion module 112 is used to receive the first adjustment voltage and perform analog-to-digital conversion on the first adjustment voltage, thereby providing the converted first digital signal D1 to the first voltage adjustment module 111, and the first voltage adjustment module 111 can adjust the first voltage V1 according to the digital signal D1. For example, when the adjustment is performed using a coefficient M, the coefficient can be adjusted to achieve the purpose of adjusting the first voltage V1.
[0063] The second voltage generating module 120 may be configured to generate a second voltage V2 , and the second voltage V1 is provided to the second voltage adjusting module 121 .
[0064] The second voltage adjustment module 121 is used to adjust the second voltage V2 to generate a second adjustment voltage. For example, the second voltage adjustment module 121 can multiply the second voltage V2 by a coefficient N to generate an adjustment voltage N*V2. The second voltage adjustment module 121 obtains a voltage value of the adjustment voltage by adjusting the coefficient N. The adjustment coefficient N can change in a step-like manner.
[0065] The second analog-to-digital conversion module 122 is used to receive the adjustment voltage and perform analog-to-digital conversion on the adjustment voltage, thereby providing the converted second digital signal D2 to the second voltage adjustment module 121, and the second voltage adjustment module 121 can adjust the second voltage V2 according to the digital signal D2. For example, when the adjustment is performed using a coefficient N, the coefficient can be adjusted to achieve the purpose of adjusting the second voltage V2.
[0066] The adding module 130 can be used to add the first adjustment voltage and the second adjustment voltage to obtain the added voltage V BG The voltage V BG Can be used as a reference voltage.
[0067] In addition, the voltage V BG It is also provided to the first analog-to-digital conversion module 112 and the second analog-to-digital conversion module 122, which can convert the voltage V BG As the benchmark voltage of the first analog-to-digital conversion module 112 and the second analog-to-digital conversion module 122. The first analog-to-digital conversion module 112 generates a first digital signal D1 by comparing the first adjustment voltage with the benchmark voltage, and the second analog-to-digital conversion module 122 generates a second digital signal D2 by comparing the second adjustment voltage with the benchmark voltage.
[0068] The following will take the adjustment coefficients M and N as an example for detailed description. In actual use, as time changes, the first voltage and the second voltage generated by the first voltage generating module 110 and the second voltage generating module 120 will change with the change of external conditions. If the first voltage and / or the second voltage are not adjusted, then the reference voltage V BG Changes will be made.
[0069] The following description will be made by taking the first moment T0 and the second moment T1 as an example, wherein in the present disclosure, the time difference between the first moment T0 and the second moment T1 is preferably in the millisecond level.
[0070] From the first time T0 to the second time T1, the voltage value of the first adjustment voltage at the second time T1 will be M*V 1(T1) =M*(V1(T0) +△V1), where V 1(T1) is the first voltage value at the second moment T1, V 1(T0) is the first voltage value at the first moment T0.
[0071] From the first time T0 to the second time T1, the voltage value of the second adjustment voltage at the second time T1 will be N*V 2(T1) =N*(V 2(T0) +△V2), where V 2(T1) is the second voltage value at the second moment T1, V 2(T0) is the second voltage value at the first moment T0.
[0072] Then the output D1 of the first analog-to-digital conversion module 112 = M*V 1(T1) / V BG(T1) =M*V 1(T0) / V BG(T1) +M*△V1 / V BG(T1) . Where V BG(T1) It can be the output of the adding module 130 at the second time T1. BG(T1) It can also be replaced by other reference voltages, for example, a constant voltage can be used as the reference voltage. In addition, the output of the adding module at other moments such as the first moment can also be used as the reference voltage. Then the output D2 of the second analog-to-digital conversion module 122 = N*V 2(T1) / V BG(T1) =N*V 2(T0) / V BG(T1) +N*△V2 / V BG(T1) . Where V BG(T1) It can be the output of the adding module 130 at the second time T1. BG(T1) It can also be replaced by other reference voltages, for example, a constant voltage can be used as the reference voltage. In addition, the output of the adding module at other moments such as the first moment can also be used as the reference voltage.
[0073] according to Figure 1 In the embodiment, the first voltage can be adjusted by the detection value of the first adjustment voltage. After the voltage generating unit works, for example, after it works stably, it is expected that the voltage value outputted by it is a stable reference voltage value. Continuing to take two moments as an example, at the first moment T0 and the second moment T1, the first adjustment voltage at the first moment is V 1(T0) , the first adjustment voltage at the second moment is V 1(T1) When the second moment is reached, the digital signal D1 of the first analog-to-digital conversion module 112 indicates that the first adjustment voltage at the second moment is V 1(T1)When the third moment T2 is reached, the first voltage adjustment module 111 generates the first adjustment voltage at the third moment as V 1(T2) , compare the first adjustment voltage V 1(T2) and the first adjustment voltage is V 1(T1) If there is a difference between the two, the first voltage adjustment module is used to avoid changes in the first adjustment voltage.
[0074] The second voltage can also be adjusted by the detection value of the second adjustment voltage. After the voltage generating unit works, for example, after it works stably, it is expected that the voltage value outputted by it is a stable reference voltage value. Continuing to take two moments as an example, at the first moment T0 and the second moment T1, the second adjustment voltage at the first moment is V 2(T0) , the second adjustment voltage at the second moment is V 2(T1) When the second moment is reached, the digital signal D1 of the second analog-to-digital conversion module 122 indicates that the second adjustment voltage at the second moment is V 2(T1) When the third moment T2 is reached, the second voltage adjustment module 121 generates the second adjustment voltage V 2(T2) , compare the first adjustment voltage V 2(T2) and the second adjustment voltage is V 2(T1) If there is a difference between the two, the first voltage adjustment module is used to avoid changes in the second adjustment voltage.

[0104] From the first time T0 to the second time T1, the voltage value of the first adjustment voltage at the second time T1 will be M*V 1(T1) =M*(V 1(T0) +△V1), where V 1(T1) is the first voltage value at the second moment T1, V 1(T0) is the first voltage value at the first moment T0.
[0105] From the first time T0 to the second time T1, the voltage value of the second adjustment voltage at the second time T1 will be N*V 2(T1) =N*(V 2(T0) +△V2), where V 2(T1) is the second voltage value at the second moment T1, V 2(T0) is the second voltage value at the first moment T0.
[0106] Then the output D1 of the first analog-to-digital conversion module 412 = M*V 1(T1) / V BG(T1) =M*V 1(T0) / V BG(T1) +M*△V1 / V BG(T1) . Where V BG(T1) It can be the output of the adding module 430 at the second time T1. BG(T1) It can also be replaced by other reference voltages, for example, a constant voltage can be used as the reference voltage. In addition, the output of the adding module at other moments such as the first moment can also be used as the reference voltage. Then the output D2 of the second analog-to-digital conversion module 422 = N*V 2(T1) / V BG(T1) =N*V 2(T0) / V BG(T1) +N*△V2 / V BG(T1) . Where V BG(T1) It can be the output of the adding module 430 at the second time T1. BG(T1) It can also be replaced by other reference voltages, for example, a constant voltage can be used as the reference voltage. In addition, the output of the adding module at other moments such as the first moment can also be used as the reference voltage.
[0107] So △D1≈M*△V1 / V BG(T1) ≈M*V 1(T0) / V BG(T1) +M*△V1 / V BG(T1) —M*V 1(T0) / VBG(T0) ; △D2≈N*△V2 / V BG(T1) ≈N*V 2(T0) / V BG(T1) +N*△V2 / V BG(T1) —N*V 2(T0) / V BG(T0) .
[0108] Assuming that there is little change after compensation, since V BG(T1) ≈V BG(T0) , so M*V 1(T0) / V BG(T1) —M*V 1(T0) / V BG(T0) =0, N*V 2(T0) / V BG(T1) —N*V 2(T0) / V BG(T0) =0.
[0109] So △D1≈M*△V1 / V BG(T1) , △D2≈N*△V2 / V BG(T1) .
[0110] In order to make V BG(T1) =V BG(T0) , then set |△D1|=|△D2|, that is: |M*△V1 / V BG(T1) |=|N*△V2 / V BG(T1) |.
[0111] If |M*△V1 / V BG(T1) |>|N*△V2 / V BG(T1) |, then reduce the first coefficient M and / or increase the second coefficient N until |M*△V1 / V BG(T1) |=|N*△V2 / V BG(T1) |.
[0112] If |M*△V1 / V BG(T1) |<|N*△V2 / V BG(T1) |, then increase the first coefficient M and / or decrease the second coefficient N until |M*△V1 / V BG(T1) |=|N*△V2 / V BG(T1) |.
[0113] In the above embodiment, the reference voltage is generated by comparing two adjustment voltages. The comparison can be performed by the control module 440 or by a comparison module.
[0114] Although described in the above description in the form of a voltage adjustment module, the first voltage adjustment module and the second voltage adjustment module can be two modules respectively. For example, in the case of a parameter adjustment method, the two modules are a coefficient adjustment module and a multiplication module. The coefficient is adjusted in the coefficient adjustment module, and the adjusted coefficient is multiplied with the first / second voltage in the multiplication module to obtain a corresponding adjusted voltage.
[0115] In the present disclosure, the external condition may be temperature, voltage, and / or current, etc. For example, when the external condition changes to temperature, the first voltage generating module may be a negative temperature coefficient voltage generating module, and the first voltage V1 may be a negative temperature coefficient voltage V be The negative temperature coefficient voltage can be the base-emitter voltage of an NPN transistor, the base-emitter voltage of a PNP transistor, or the PN junction voltage of a diode. It can also be the gate-source voltage of a MOSFET. GS voltage or the threshold voltage V of the MOSFET TH .
[0116] The second voltage generating module may be a positive temperature coefficient voltage generating module, and the second voltage V2 may be a positive temperature coefficient voltage V PTAT The positive temperature coefficient voltage is a PTAT voltage (Proportional To Absolute Temperature voltage) that increases with increasing temperature. The PTAT voltage can be realized by a PTAT voltage generation circuit. In other words, the negative temperature coefficient voltage refers to a voltage that decreases with increasing temperature, and the positive temperature coefficient voltage refers to a voltage that increases with increasing temperature.
[0117] In addition, when the first voltage generating module and the second voltage generating module generate voltage, they are bound to be connected to an external voltage source or current source. The different values provided by the external voltage source or current source will also cause fluctuations in the voltages generated by the first voltage generating module and the second voltage generating module. Therefore, the above-mentioned method according to the present disclosure can also eliminate such fluctuations.
[0118] Compared with the method of generating voltage by hardware, the embodiment according to the present disclosure is more effective and more accurate. At the same time, it can not only eliminate the influence of the first-order change of the first voltage and the second voltage, but also eliminate the influence of the higher-order change.
