Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of bus technology, in particular to a reverse voltage protection circuit applied to a field bus and a bus transceiver. BACKGROUND
[0002] When field buses such as CAN bus, RS485 and RS422 are applied, the bus interface may appear common-mode voltage. The protocol stipulates that the common-mode voltage range of CAN bus is -2V to +7V, the common-mode voltage range of RS485 bus is -7V to +12V, and the common-mode voltage range of RS422 bus is ±7V. However, the common-mode voltage range of these products in actual application may reach ±15V or ±30V or even higher. Therefore, the bus transceiver needs a reverse voltage protection circuit to meet the requirement of bus terminal pin to withstand the bus common-mode voltage.
[0003] The driving circuit of a common RS-485 / 422 bus transceiver and CAN bus transceiver, when OUT or CANH appears positive high voltage, high-voltage diode D1 prevents the "backflow" path formed by the bus pin OUT to the power supply pin VCC; when OUT or CANL appears negative high voltage, high-voltage diode D2 prevents the "backflow" path formed by the ground pin GND to the bus pin OUT.
[0004] In the current technology, high-voltage diodes D1 and D2 need to have the characteristics of high reverse voltage resistance, but the process implementation is difficult. Therefore, a circuit is needed to replace the high-voltage diode to achieve high reverse voltage resistance and prevent abnormal voltage from flowing back to VCC or GND. SUMMARY

[0109] The technical solutions in the embodiments described below will be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments described herein, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments described herein, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this document.
[0110] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., used in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings herein are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, apparatus, product, or device that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or devices.
[0111] like Figure 1 The schematic diagram shown is of a reverse voltage protection circuit, including:
[0112] Comparator 101, the input port and output port of the circuit are connected to the input terminal of the comparator, the comparator is used to compare the voltage of the input port and the output port and output a comparison signal.
[0113] Trigger circuit 102 receives the comparison signal and turns on / off MOS transistor 103 connected between the input port and the output port according to the comparison signal.
[0114] The MOSFET 103 is used to prevent abnormal voltage from the output port from flowing back to the input port.
[0115] In this paper, the output port can be either a zeroth PMOS or a zeroth NMOS, depending on the type of the input port.
[0116] In the embodiment, the comparator 101 is used to compare the voltage of the input port and the output port, when the abnormal voltage appears in the output port, that is, the voltage of the output port is greater than or equal to the voltage of the input port, the comparison signal can be sent, the mutual coupling of the electronic devices is realized through the triggering circuit 102, and the MOS tube 103 is cut off. When the MOS tube 103 is cut off, the abnormal voltage can be prevented from flowing back to the input port through the output port.
[0117] It should be noted that generally, the one-way conduction of the high-voltage diode is used to prevent the abnormal voltage from flowing back to the input port. However, when the high-voltage diode is used to realize this function, because the on-resistance of the high-voltage diode is large, in the normal case, that is, when the voltage is transmitted from the input port to the output port, the high-voltage diode is inevitably needed to pass through, and then a part of the voltage is taken away by the high-voltage diode. According to experimental data, when the voltage of the input port is 5V, the high-voltage diode takes away about 0.7V of the voltage, and finally, the output port outputs 4.3V of the voltage. Obviously, the energy transmission efficiency is too low to meet the requirements of the precise microelectronic process.
[0118] And when the reverse voltage protection circuit in the present application is used, that is, when the MOS tube 103 is in the cut-off state, the abnormal voltage can be prevented from flowing back, and when the MOS tube 103 is in the on state, the MOS tube 103 works in the linear region, which can greatly reduce the on-voltage drop. According to the research, when 5V of the voltage is input to the input port, the MOS tube takes away at most 0.3V of the voltage, that is, the output port outputs at least 4.7V of the voltage, which can meet the requirements of the precise microelectronic process.
[0119] It should be noted that the type of the comparator is not limited in the present application. As a preferred mode, the forward comparator is used in the embodiment of the present application, but the forward comparator can be replaced by the reverse comparator, the proportional operation amplifier, the voltage follower, and the like according to the needs of the person skilled in the art, which will not be described herein.
[0120] It should be noted that in the circuit, there are the power supply VCC input and the GND input, and the voltage output by the output port also has two kinds, one is the forward voltage, and the other is the reverse voltage. When the power supply VCC is input, the output port outputs the forward voltage, and when the GND is input, the output port outputs the reverse voltage. Therefore, in the present application, the reverse circuit needs to be discussed in different cases, which will be discussed in detail below.
[0121] It should be noted that when the circuit on one side is discussed, the person skilled in the art can use the conventional means to prevent the abnormal voltage of the circuit on the other side from flowing back, for example, when the input port is the power supply VCC, the circuit on the other side can use, for example, the high-voltage diode to prevent the reverse voltage from flowing back. The present application does not limit this, which can reduce the chip flow difficulty by half.
[0122] As Figure 2 shown in the power supply VCC input port circuit schematic diagram, as an embodiment herein, when the input port is the power supply VCC, the trigger circuit 102 comprises: a fifth NMOS tube 15, a fourth PMOS tube 14, a first inverter 11, a sixth NMOS tube 16 and a second PMOS tube 12, and the output port is the zeroth PMOS tube 10.
[0123] The gate of the fifth NMOS tube 15 is connected with the output end of the first comparator 1011, and the source of the fifth NMOS tube 15 is connected with GND.
[0124] The gate of the fourth PMOS tube 14 is connected with the gate of the fifth NMOS tube 15, the drain of the fourth PMOS tube 14 is connected with the drain of the fifth NMOS tube 15, and the source of the fourth PMOS tube 14 is connected with the power supply VCC.
[0125] The input end of the first inverter 11 is connected with the output end of the first comparator 1011.
[0126] The gate of the sixth NMOS tube 16 is connected with the output end of the first inverter 11, and the source of the sixth NMOS tube 16 is connected with the GND.
[0127] The gate of the second PMOS tube 12 is connected with the connection point of the drain of the fifth NMOS tube 15 and the drain of the fourth PMOS tube 14, the drain of the second PMOS tube 12 is connected with the drain of the sixth NMOS tube 16, and the source of the second PMOS tube 12 is connected with the source of the zeroth PMOS tube 10.
[0128] It should be noted that the NMOS high level is turned on, and the PMOS low level is turned on.
[0129] It should be noted that in the case of the input port being connected with the power supply VCC, the MOS tube is the first PMOS tube 103, and the output port is the zeroth PMOS tube 10.
[0130] When the abnormal voltage appears at the drain of the zeroth PMOS transistor 10, the voltage at the drain of the zeroth PMOS transistor 10 is greater than the voltage at the input port, at this time, since the drain of the zeroth PMOS transistor 10 is connected to the positive output terminal of the first comparator 1011 and the input port is connected to the negative output terminal of the first comparator 1011, the first comparator 1011 outputs a high level, at this time, the fifth NMOS transistor 15 is turned on, the fourth PMOS transistor 14 is turned off, the first inverter 11 inverts the high level to a low level, and then the sixth NMOS transistor 16 is turned off, since the fifth NMOS transistor 15 is turned on, the fifth NMOS transistor 15 connects the gate of the second PMOS transistor 12 to GND, GND is equivalent to a low level, so the second PMOS transistor 12 is turned on, at this time, after the second PMOS transistor 12 is turned on, the MOS transistor 103 is connected between the gate and the source of the MOS transistor 103, and the MOS transistor 103 is turned off, preventing the abnormal voltage at the drain of the zeroth PMOS transistor 10 from flowing back to the input port.
[0131] When the abnormal voltage does not appear at the drain of the zeroth PMOS transistor 10, the voltage at the drain of the zeroth PMOS transistor 10 is less than the voltage at the input port, at this time, since the drain of the zeroth PMOS transistor 10 is connected to the positive output terminal of the first inverter 11 and the input port is connected to the negative output terminal of the first inverter 11, the first inverter 11 outputs a low level, at this time, the fifth NMOS transistor 15 is turned off, the fourth PMOS transistor 14 is turned on, at this time, the power supply VCC of the input port is equivalent to a high level, then the gate of the second PMOS transistor 12 is connected to the high level, the second PMOS transistor 12 is turned off, the first inverter 11 inverts the low level to a high level, and then the sixth NMOS transistor 16 is turned on, since the sixth NMOS transistor 16 is turned on, the gate of the MOS transistor 103 is connected to GND, GND is equivalent to a low level, so the MOS transistor 103 is turned on, at this time, after the MOS transistor 103 is turned on, the power supply VCC of the drain of the zeroth PMOS transistor 10 can be transmitted to the output port.
[0132] Therefore, through the above circuit, when the voltage at the output port is greater than the voltage at the input port, the abnormal voltage can be prevented from flowing back to the input port, and the power supply of the input port can be prevented from being broken down, thereby avoiding irreparable loss.
[0133] The first gate oxide protection circuit is arranged at the power supply VCC side. When the drain of the zeroth PMOS transistor 10 has an abnormal voltage greater than the input port, only the MOS transistor 103 is used to cut off the abnormal voltage, and the high-voltage PN junction of the drain and the substrate of the MOS transistor 103 is used to prevent the abnormal voltage from flowing back. Therefore, in order to prevent the second PMOS transistor 12 from being broken down by the abnormal voltage, a protection measure needs to be arranged at the gate of the second PMOS transistor 12. The third PMOS transistor 13, the first diode 19, and the first resistor 1 jointly protect the second PMOS transistor 12. The eighth PMOS transistor 18 protects the drain of the fourth PMOS transistor 14 from being broken down by the abnormal voltage flowing back. In this way, the abnormal voltage flowing back can be more safely prevented, and the components can be prevented from being damaged.
[0134] As shown in the first gate oxide protection circuit schematic diagram, Figure 3 As an embodiment, a first gate oxide protection circuit is further coupled between the output port and the trigger circuit. The first gate oxide protection circuit comprises a first resistor 1, an eighth PMOS transistor 18, a third PMOS transistor 13, and a first diode 19.
[0135] One end of the first resistor 1 is connected to the drain of the fifth NMOS transistor 15, and the other end is connected to the source of the eighth PMOS transistor 18.
[0136] The gate and the source of the eighth PMOS transistor 18 are connected, and the drain of the eighth PMOS transistor 18 is connected to the drain of the fourth PMOS transistor 14.
[0137] The gate and the source of the third PMOS transistor 13 are connected, the source of the third PMOS transistor 13 is connected to the source of the eighth PMOS transistor 18, and the drain of the third PMOS transistor 13 is connected to the anode of the first diode 19.
[0138] The cathode of the first diode 19 is connected to the source of the second PMOS transistor 12.
[0139] It should be understood that the source, gate, and substrate of the eighth PMOS transistor 18 and the third PMOS transistor 13 in the circuit are short-circuited to form an equivalent high-voltage diode. Therefore, the eighth PMOS transistor 18 and the third PMOS transistor 13 can also be replaced by a suitable high-voltage diode.
[0140] As shown in the GND input port circuit schematic diagram, Figure 4 As an embodiment, when the input port is GND, the trigger circuit comprises a fifth PMOS transistor 25, a fourth NMOS transistor 24, a second inverter 21, a sixth PMOS transistor 26, and a second NMOS transistor 22. The output port is a zeroth NMOS transistor 20.

[0142] The gate of the fourth NMOS tube 24 is connected with the gate of the fifth PMOS tube 25, the drain of the fourth NMOS tube 24 is connected with the drain of the fifth PMOS tube 25, and the source of the fourth NMOS tube 24 is connected with the GND;
[0143] The input end of the second inverter 21 is connected with the output end of the second comparator 1012;
[0144] The gate of the sixth PMOS tube 26 is connected with the output end of the second inverter 21, and the source of the sixth PMOS tube 26 is connected with the power supply VCC;
[0145] The gate of the second NMOS tube 22 is connected with the connection point of the drain of the fifth PMOS tube 25 and the drain of the fourth NMOS tube 24, the drain of the second NMOS tube 22 is connected with the drain of the sixth PMOS tube 26, and the source of the second NMOS tube 22 is connected with the source of the zeroth NMOS tube 20.
[0146] It should be noted that the NMOS high level is turned on, and the PMOS low level is turned on.
[0147] It should be noted that the MOS tube on the side of the input port GND is an NMOS tube.
[0148] When the abnormal voltage appears at the drain of the zeroth NMOS tube 20, the voltage at the drain of the zeroth NMOS tube 20 is lower than the voltage of the input port, at this time, since the drain of the zeroth NMOS tube 20 is connected with the positive output end of the second comparator 1012, and the input port is connected with the negative output end of the second comparator 1012, the output of the second comparator 1012 is low level, at this time, the fifth PMOS tube 25 is turned on, the fourth NMOS tube 24 is cut off, the second inverter 21 inverses the low level to high level, and then the sixth PMOS tube 26 is cut off, since the fifth PMOS tube 25 is turned on, the fifth PMOS tube 25 connects the gate of the second NMOS tube 22 with VCC, and VCC is equivalent to high level, so the second NMOS tube 22 is turned on, at this time, after the second NMOS tube 22 is turned on, it is equivalent to connecting the gate and the source of the MOS tube 103 through a wire, and the MOS tube 103 is cut off, thereby preventing the abnormal voltage of the output port from "absorbing" current from the input port.
[0149] When there is no abnormal voltage at the drain of the zeroth NMOS transistor 20, the voltage at the drain of the zeroth NMOS transistor 20 is greater than the voltage at the output port, at this time, since the drain of the zeroth NMOS transistor 20 is connected to the positive output end of the second comparator 1012, and the input port is connected to the negative output end of the second comparator 1012, the second comparator 1012 outputs a high level, at this time, the fifth PMOS transistor 25 is cut off, the fourth NMOS transistor 24 is turned on, the sixth PMOS transistor 26 is turned on after the high level is inverted to a low level by the second inverter 21, since the fourth NMOS transistor 24 is turned on, the fourth NMOS transistor 24 connects the gate of the second NMOS transistor 22 to GND, GND is equivalent to a low level, so the second NMOS transistor 22 is cut off, at the same time, the gate of the MOS transistor 103 is pulled to VCC through the turned-on sixth PMOS transistor, the MOS transistor 103 is turned on, at this time, the MOS transistor 103 works in a linear region, and the conduction voltage drop is very low.
[0150] Therefore, through the above circuit, it can be realized that when the voltage at the output port is less than the voltage at the input port, the output port is prevented from "absorbing" current from GND.
[0151] The second gate oxide protection circuit is arranged on the GND side, when the output port has an abnormal voltage less than the input port, at this time, only the MOS transistor can cut off the abnormal voltage, and the high-voltage PN junction of the drain and the buffer of the MOS transistor 103 prevents the output port from absorbing current from the input port GND, therefore, in order to prevent the second NMOS transistor 22 from being broken down by the abnormal voltage, a protection measure needs to be arranged at the gate of the second NMOS transistor 22, wherein the third NMOS transistor 23, the second diode 29 and the second resistor 2 jointly protect the second NMOS transistor 22, the seventh PMOS transistor 27 protects the drain of the fourth NMOS transistor 24 from being broken down by the abnormal voltage, in this way, the abnormal voltage can be more safely prevented from absorbing current from the input port, and the components can be prevented from being damaged.
[0152] Specifically, as shown in the second gate oxide protection circuit diagram, Figure 5 as an embodiment of the present application, the second gate oxide protection circuit comprises: a second resistor 2, a seventh PMOS transistor 27, a third NMOS transistor 23 and a second diode 29;
[0153] One end of the second resistor 2 is connected to the drain of the fifth PMOS transistor 25, and the other end is connected to the drain of the seventh PMOS transistor 27;
[0154] The gate of the seventh PMOS transistor 27 is connected to the source, and the source of the seventh PMOS transistor 27 is connected to the drain of the fourth NMOS transistor 24;
[0155] The gate of the third NMOS tube 23 is connected with the source, the source of the third NMOS tube 23 is connected with the drain of the seventh PMOS tube 27, and the drain of the third NMOS tube 23 is connected with the cathode of the second diode 29.
[0156] The anode of the second diode 29 is connected with the source of the second NMOS tube 22.
[0157] As Figure 6 A preferred reverse voltage protection circuit is shown in the figure, on both sides of the output port power supply VCC and GND, all using the reverse voltage protection circuit in this paper, including two comparators, two trigger circuits, a first MOS tube 603, a second MOS tube 606, a zeroth PMOS tube 10 and a zeroth NMOS tube 20, wherein:
[0158] A first comparator 1011, the power supply VCC and the drain of the zeroth PMOS tube 10 are connected to the input of the first comparator 1011, and the first comparator 1011 is used to compare the voltage of the power supply VCC and the drain of the zeroth PMOS tube 10, and output a first comparison signal;

[0163] The second MOS tube 606 is used to prevent abnormal voltage at the drain of the zeroth NMOS tube 20 from flowing back to the GND.
[0164] It should be noted that, Figure 6The circuit can be applied to the field bus application scenario, for example, the first trigger circuit 602 side can output a high and low level, the second trigger circuit 605 can also output a high and low level, and through the two high and low levels, the signal control of the field bus can be realized.
[0165] In Figure 6 , the power supply VCC is used as an input port side, and the first trigger circuit is used to turn on or turn off the MOS tube to prevent the reverse flow of abnormal voltage of the output port. In GND as an input port side, the second trigger circuit is used to turn on or turn off the MOS tube to prevent the reverse flow of abnormal voltage of the output port.
[0166] Through the circuit on both sides, the use of high-voltage diodes can be avoided, thereby widening the process selection range. And compared with high-voltage diodes, the circuit has lower conduction voltage drop, thereby ensuring better output voltage characteristics.
[0167] As Figure 7 shown is a preferred trigger circuit schematic diagram of a reverse voltage protection circuit, which is an embodiment of the present application, the first trigger circuit comprises: a fifth NMOS tube 15, a fourth PMOS tube 14, a first inverter 11, a sixth NMOS tube 16 and a second PMOS tube 12.

[0170] The input of the first inverter 11 is connected with the output of the first comparator 1011.
[0171] The gate of the sixth NMOS tube 16 is connected with the output of the first inverter 11, and the source of the sixth NMOS tube 16 is connected with the GND.
[0172] The gate of the second PMOS tube 12 is connected with the connection point of the drain of the fifth NMOS tube 15 and the drain of the fourth PMOS tube 14, the drain of the second PMOS tube 12 is connected with the drain of the sixth NMOS tube 16, and the source of the second PMOS tube 12 is connected with the zeroth PMOS tube 10.
[0173] The second trigger circuit comprises a fifth PMOS tube 25, a fourth NMOS tube 24, a second inverter 21, a sixth PMOS tube 26 and a second NMOS tube 22.
[0174] The gate of the fifth PMOS tube 25 is connected with the output terminal of the first comparator 1011, and the source of the fifth PMOS tube 25 is connected with the power supply VCC.
[0175] The gate of the fourth NMOS tube 24 is connected with the gate of the fifth PMOS tube 25, the drain of the fourth NMOS tube 24 is connected with the drain of the fifth PMOS tube 25, and the source of the fourth NMOS tube 24 is connected with the GND.
[0176] The input terminal of the second inverter 21 is connected with the output terminal of the second comparator 1012.
[0177] The gate of the sixth PMOS tube 26 is connected with the output terminal of the second inverter 21, and the source of the sixth PMOS tube 26 is connected with the power supply VCC.
[0178] The gate of the second NMOS tube 22 is connected with the connection point of the drain of the fifth PMOS tube 25 and the drain of the fourth NMOS tube 24, the drain of the second NMOS tube 22 is connected with the drain of the sixth PMOS tube 26, and the source of the second NMOS tube 22 is connected with the zeroth NMOS tube 20.
[0179] It should be noted that the NMOS high level is turned on, and the PMOS low level is turned on.
[0180] It should be noted that the MOS tube for conducting or cutting off the reverse voltage protection circuit on the side of the input port of the power supply VCC is the first MOS tube 603, and the device for conducting or cutting off the reverse voltage protection circuit on the side of the input port of the GND is the second MOS tube 606.
[0181] The first gate oxide protection circuit is arranged on the side of the power supply VCC, when the output port appears an abnormal voltage greater than the input port, at this time, only the MOS tube is cut off to the abnormal voltage, the high-voltage PN junction of the drain of the first MOS tube 603 prevents the reverse flow of the abnormal voltage, therefore, in order to prevent the second PMOS tube 12 from being broken down by the abnormal voltage, a protection measure needs to be arranged at the gate of the second PMOS tube 12, wherein the third PMOS tube 13, the first diode 19 and the first resistor 1 jointly protect the second PMOS tube 12, and the eighth PMOS tube 18 protects the drain of the fourth PMOS tube 14 from being broken down by the reverse flow of the abnormal voltage, in this way, the reverse flow of the abnormal voltage can be more safely prevented, and the damage to the components can be avoided.
[0182] The second gate oxide protection circuit is arranged on the GND side. When the output port has an abnormal voltage less than the input port, only the second MOS tube 606 can cut off the abnormal voltage. The high-voltage PN junction of the drain and the substrate of the second MOS tube 606 prevents the negative high voltage of the output port from absorbing current from the input port GND. Therefore, in order to prevent the second NMOS tube 22 from being broken down by the abnormal voltage, a protection measure needs to be arranged on the gate of the second NMOS tube 22. The third NMOS tube 23, the second diode 29, and the second resistor 2 jointly protect the second NMOS tube 22. The seventh PMOS tube 27 protects the drain of the fourth NMOS tube 24 from being broken down by the abnormal voltage. In this way, the abnormal voltage can be more safely prevented from absorbing current from the input port, and the components can be prevented from being damaged.
[0183] It should be noted that the first gate oxide protection circuit is arranged on the power supply VCC side, and the second gate oxide protection circuit is arranged on the GND side.

Those skilled in the art can adjust the parameters of the MOS tube, the trigger circuit and the gate oxide protection circuit according to actual needs to realize power supply protection in different scenarios.
