[0052] The present disclosure will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It can be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the relevant content and do not limit the present disclosure. Additionally, it should be noted that for the sake of description, only the parts related to the present disclosure are shown in the drawings.

[0053] It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments in the present disclosure and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. The technical solutions of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and embodiments.

[0054] Unless otherwise specified, the exemplary embodiments / Examples shown will be understood to provide exemplary features of various details of some ways that can implement the technical concept of the present disclosure in practice. Therefore, unless otherwise specified, without departing from the technical concept of the present disclosure, the features of various embodiments / Examples can be additionally combined, separated, interchanged, and / or rearranged.

[0055] In the drawings, cross-hatching and / or shading are generally used to make the boundaries between adjacent components clear. Thus, unless stated, the presence or absence of cross-hatching or shading does not convey or imply any preference or requirement for the specific material, material properties, dimensions, proportions, commonality between the components shown, and / or any other characteristics, attributes, properties, etc. of the components. Additionally, in the drawings, for clarity and / or descriptive purposes, the dimensions and relative dimensions of the components may be exaggerated. When the exemplary embodiments can be implemented differently, the specific process sequences can be performed in a different order than described. For example, two consecutively described processes can be performed substantially simultaneously or in an order opposite to the described order. Moreover, the same reference numerals represent the same components.

[0056] When a component is referred to as being "on" or "above" another component, "connected to" or "coupled to" another component, the component can be directly on the other component, directly connected to or directly coupled to the other component, or there can be intervening components. However, when a component is referred to as being "directly on" another component, "directly connected to" or "directly coupled to" another component, there are no intervening components. For this reason, the term "connected" can refer to physical connection, electrical connection, etc., and can have or not have intervening components.

[0057] For descriptive purposes, the present disclosure may use spatial relative terms such as "under", "below", "beneath", "lower", "above", "on", "over", "upper", and "side (e.g., as in "sidewall")" etc., so as to describe the relationship between one component and another (other) component as shown in the drawings. In addition to the orientation depicted in the drawings, the spatial relative terms are also intended to encompass different orientations of the device during use, operation, and / or manufacturing. For example, if the device in the drawings is flipped, a component described as "under" or "beneath" another component or feature will then be positioned "above" the other component or feature. Thus, the exemplary term "under" can encompass both the "above" and "under" orientations. In addition, the device can be otherwise positioned (e.g., rotated 90 degrees or at other orientations), and accordingly, the spatial relative descriptors used herein are to be interpreted.

[0058] The terms used herein are for the purpose of describing particular embodiments and are not intended to be limiting. As used herein, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular forms "a", "an", and "the" are also intended to include the plural forms. In addition, when the terms "comprise" and / or "include" and their variants are used in this specification, it is stated that there are the stated features, integers, steps, operations, components, assemblies, and / or groups thereof, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, components, assemblies, and / or groups thereof. It should also be noted that, as used herein, the terms "substantially", "about", and other similar terms are used as approximate terms and not as degree terms, so they are used to explain the inherent deviations of measured values, calculated values, and / or provided values that would be recognized by those of ordinary skill in the art.

Those skilled in the art should also understand that connecting the source of the high-voltage withstand NMOS transistor 200 to the low-voltage terminal B- of the battery / battery pack and the source of the first low-voltage withstand NMOS transistor 100 to the low-voltage terminal P- of the external load or charger can also achieve the same function. Similarly, connecting it to the high-voltage side of the battery / battery pack can also achieve the same function.

[0074] The voltage withstand value of the low-voltage withstand NMOS transistor 100 can be 1.8 - 7V, that is, V GS 、V GD 、V DS can be in the range of 1.8 - 7V. The voltage withstand value of the high-voltage withstand NMOS transistor 200 is related to the voltage of the battery. It is usually 1.5 - 2 times the sum of the voltages of each battery. For example, in the case of a battery pack with 16 batteries, the voltage of each battery is usually 4.5V, and its voltage withstand value needs to be 4.5 * 16 * (1.5 - 2)V. For example, its voltage withstand value should be greater than 108V, that is, V GS 、V GD 、V DS greater than 108V. According to the previous description, the on-resistance is related to the voltage withstand value. Therefore, the on-resistance of the low-voltage withstand NMOS transistor 100 will be significantly smaller than that of the high-voltage withstand NMOS transistor 200. And the voltage withstand value of the switching NMOS transistor 300 can be in the range of 10 - 20V.

[0075] The low-voltage NMOS transistor 100 is a transistor of the low-voltage type. If so, when the low-voltage NMOS transistor 100 is turned off, if the high-voltage NMOS transistor 200 cannot be turned off in time during the turn-off process (for example, before or at the same time as the low-voltage NMOS transistor 100 is turned off), the high-voltage NMOS transistor 200 remains in the on state, and thus the voltage at the P- terminal will be applied to the drain of the low-voltage NMOS transistor 100. Since during the turn-off process of the low-voltage NMOS transistor 100 and the high-voltage NMOS transistor 200, the voltage at the P- terminal will rise to the voltage value of the P+ terminal.

[0076] Since the high-voltage NMOS transistor 200 cannot be turned off in time, the rising voltage value at the P- terminal will be applied to the drain of the low-voltage NMOS transistor 100. At the same time, since the low-voltage NMOS transistor 100 is a transistor of the low-voltage type, if a high voltage is applied to its drain, it will inevitably cause damage to the low-voltage NMOS transistor 100.

[0077] By setting a switch (in the form of a switch NMOS transistor 300), the high-voltage NMOS transistor 200 can be turned off in time during the turn-off process (for example, before or at the same time as the low-voltage NMOS transistor 100 is turned off). As a result, the rising voltage value at the P- terminal will not be applied to the drain of the low-voltage NMOS transistor 100, but to the drain of the high-voltage NMOS transistor 200 (because the high-voltage NMOS transistor 200 is a transistor of the high-voltage type, so the high voltage will not cause damage to the high-voltage NMOS transistor 200).

[0078] For the actual high-voltage NMOS transistor 200, there is a parasitic capacitance between its gate G and source S. Due to the existence of this parasitic capacitance, even when V GS is less than the threshold voltage, the high-voltage NMOS transistor 200 cannot be turned off quickly because the charge release of the capacitor requires a certain amount of time. Thus, even when the voltage of the control signal at the gate is less than the threshold voltage, the high-voltage NMOS transistor 200 cannot be turned off quickly. The parasitic capacitance of the high-voltage NMOS transistor 200 needs to be discharged through the circuit of the first resistor R1. In this case, there will inevitably be a situation of turn-off delay of the high-voltage NMOS transistor 200.

[0079] By connecting a switch in series between the gate and source of the high-voltage NMOS transistor 200, so that when the high-voltage NMOS transistor 200 needs to be turned off, it can be turned off quickly (enabling the parasitic capacitance to discharge quickly).

[0080] When the high-voltage withstand NMOS transistor 200 needs to be turned off, the driving voltage provides a current signal OB. The current OB flows through the second resistor R2, and a voltage is formed across the second resistor R2. This voltage is greater than the gate-source voltage V of the switching NMOS transistor 300. GS , the switching NMOS transistor 300 conducts rapidly. In this way, a path is formed between the gate and the source of the high-voltage withstand NMOS transistor 200, enabling the parasitic capacitance between the gate and the source of the high-voltage withstand NMOS transistor 200 to discharge rapidly, thereby quickly turning off the high-voltage withstand NMOS transistor 200. In this way, the rising P-terminal voltage will not be applied to the drain of the first low-voltage withstand NMOS transistor 100, and the low-voltage withstand NMOS transistor 100 will not be damaged.

[0081] In addition, a high-voltage protection diode D3 is connected in series between the source and the drain of the low-voltage withstand NMOS transistor 100. The purpose is that when the low-voltage withstand NMOS transistor 100 is turned off and the high-voltage withstand NMOS transistor 200 is not turned off in time, the high voltage at the P-terminal will be applied to the drain of the low-voltage withstand NMOS transistor 100. The high-voltage protection diode D3 will play a protective role here. The high voltage will cause the high-voltage protection diode D3 to break down reversely, thereby avoiding damage to the low-voltage withstand NMOS transistor 100. This is because the high-voltage protection diode D3 is broken down reversely, so as to prevent the drain voltage of the low-voltage withstand NMOS transistor 100 from being too high.

[0082] The on-resistance value of the series NMOS transistors from the B-terminal to the P-terminal is:

[0083] R on = R DS,on (100) + R DS,on (200), where R on is the sum of the on-resistances of the low-voltage withstand NMOS transistor 100 and the high-voltage withstand NMOS transistor 200, R DS,on (100) is the on-resistance of the low-voltage withstand NMOS transistor 100, and R DS,on (200) is the on-resistance of the high-voltage withstand NMOS transistor 200.

[0084] Also, since the low-voltage withstand NMOS transistor 100 is a low-voltage withstand NMOSFET, the physical structure of the low-voltage withstand NMOSFET does not require a low-doped breakdown drift region. That is to say, for the low-voltage withstand NMOSFET, R DS,on (100) = R s,metal + R source + R channel + R drain + R d,metal .

[0085] Therefore, for NMOSFETs with the same physical size, R DS,on (100) is much smaller than R DS,on (200), so R on ≈R DS,on (200). Therefore, by using series-connected high- and low-voltage NMOSFETs, the on-resistance of the series-connected MOSFETs can be reduced by a factor of 1, and thus the heat loss caused by the on-resistance is reduced by a factor of 2.
