Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of mobile communications, and more particularly to an interface power supply circuit and terminal. Background Technology

[0002] Smart terminals generally adopt the classic computer architecture—the von Neumann architecture, which consists of five major components: the arithmetic logic unit (ALU), the controller, the memory, the input device, and the output device. The ALU and the controller constitute the core component of the computer—the central processing unit (CPU).

[0003] However, in the existing technology, the CPU of the smart terminal needs to download via USB. In order to ensure that the download is normal, the VBUS power network of the USB connector is required to power the entire system of the smart terminal. However, the power output capability of USB is limited. If USB power is used, the operation stability of the smart terminal is not good. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical deficiencies in the prior art, this invention proposes an interface power supply circuit. The circuit includes: a VBUS power network for a USB connector, a PMOS transistor VT2, an NMOS transistor Q3, an NMOS transistor Q1, and an NMOS transistor Q2. The VBUS power network is connected to the source of the PMOS transistor VT2. The control terminal of the PMOS transistor VT2 is connected to the drain of both the NMOS transistor Q3 and the NMOS transistor Q1. A resistor R1 is connected in parallel between the source and drain of the PMOS transistor VT2. The drain of the PMOS transistor VT2 is connected to the system power supply VDD_5V of the terminal, thus supplying power to the terminal's VCC_IN power supply. The drain of the NMOS transistor Q1 is connected to the VBUS power network via a pull-up resistor R1. The control terminal of transistor Q1 is connected to the drain of NMOS transistor Q2, and the source of NMOS transistor Q1 is connected to GND.

[0007] Optionally, when the CPU's Uboot is low, the control electrode of NMOS transistor Q2 is low. When the control electrode of NMOS transistor Q2 is low, NMOS transistor Q2 is in the off state, and its drain is connected to the VBUS power network by pull-up resistor R2, becoming high. The control electrode of NMOS transistor Q1 is high. When the control electrode of NMOS transistor Q1 is high, NMOS transistor Q1 is in the on state, and its drain is low. The control electrode of PMOS transistor VT2 becomes low, and PMOS transistor VT2 is in the on state. The VBUS power network outputs 5V power through PMOS transistor VT2 to VCC_CPU power supply to power the CPU's VCC_IN power supply. The CPU enters download mode and downloads software to the CPU through the USB D- and D+ ports.

[0008] Optionally, when the terminal's CPU enters download mode, the MCU_BOOT of the terminal's CPU is disconnected from the low level, and a 5V power supply is provided on the main power supply VCC_CPU power network.

[0009] Optionally, the control electrode of the NMOS transistor Q3 is connected to the main power supply VCC_CPU via a pull-up resistor R3 to present a high level.

[0010] Optionally, when the control electrode of the NMOS transistor Q3 is at a high level, the NMOS transistor Q3 is in the on state, and the drain electrode of the NMOS transistor Q3 is at a low level.
