[0023] A step-down circuit based on a voltage regulator chip, according to some embodiments of the present invention, will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] like Figure 1As shown, this invention proposes a step-down circuit based on a voltage regulator chip, including a voltage regulator chip, a first operational amplifier OP1, a capacitor C, a first resistor R1, a second resistor R2, a third resistor R3, a first switch S1, and a second switch S2. The input terminal of the voltage regulator chip, the first power input terminal of the first operational amplifier OP1, and the first terminal of the capacitor C are connected to the positive terminal of the power input terminal of the step-down circuit. The ground terminal of the voltage regulator chip is connected to the first signal input terminal, the second signal input terminal, and the signal output terminal of the first operational amplifier OP1. The output terminal of the voltage regulator chip is connected to the first terminal of the first resistor R1. The first signal input terminal of the first operational amplifier OP1... The first terminal of the first resistor R1, the second terminal of the second resistor R2, and the first terminal of the first switch S1 are connected to the positive terminal of the power output terminal of the buck circuit. The first terminal of the second switch S2 is connected to the second terminal of the first switch S1. The second terminal of the second resistor R2 and the first terminal of the third resistor R3 are connected to the second terminal of the second switch S2. The second power input terminal of the first operational amplifier OP1, the second terminal of the capacitor C, the second terminal of the third resistor R3, and the third terminal of the second switch S2 are connected to the negative terminals of the power input and power output terminals of the buck circuit. The negative terminals of the power input and power output terminals of the buck circuit are grounded. In the above embodiment, by using a voltage regulator chip in the buck circuit, the output voltage of the buck circuit is more stable and has better reliability.

[0025] Preferably, the resistance values ​​R1 of the first resistor R1, R2 of the second resistor R2, and R3 of the third resistor R3 satisfy R1 <R2<R3。

[0026] Preferably, the output voltage value of the step-down circuit is controlled by controlling the switching states of the first switch S1 and the second switch S2 to configure the second resistor R2 and the third resistor R3 to be connected to the step-down circuit.

[0027] Preferably, when both the first switch S1 and the second switch S2 are closed, and the second switch S2 is connected by connecting its first and third terminals, the output voltage V of the step-down circuit is... out =V Pout V Pout The voltage is the output voltage of the voltage regulator chip.

[0028] Preferably, when both the first switch S1 and the second switch S2 are closed, and the second switch S2 is connected by connecting its first and second terminals, the output voltage value of the step-down circuit is... Where V Pout The voltage is the output voltage of the voltage regulator chip.

[0029] Preferably, when both the first switch S1 and the second switch S2 are in the open state, the output voltage value of the step-down circuit is... Where V Pout The voltage is the output voltage of the voltage regulator chip.

[0030] In the above-described embodiment, by reasonably setting the resistance values ​​R1 of the first resistor R1, R2 of the second resistor R2, and R3 of the third resistor R3, the states of the second resistor R2 and the third resistor R3 connected to the step-down circuit can be controlled as needed during the use of the step-down circuit, thereby obtaining multiple different output voltage values ​​of the step-down circuit and making the application scenarios of the step-down circuit more extensive.

[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, the step-down circuit based on the voltage regulator chip further includes a fourth resistor R4, a fifth resistor R5, and a second operational amplifier OP2. The first terminal of the fourth resistor R4 and the first power input terminal, second signal input terminal, and signal output terminal of the second operational amplifier OP2 are connected to the positive terminal of the power input terminal of the step-down circuit. The first signal input terminal of the second operational amplifier OP2 and the first terminal of the fifth resistor R5 are connected to the second terminal of the fourth resistor R4. The second terminal of the fifth resistor R5 and the second power input terminal of the second operational amplifier OP2 are connected to the negative terminal of the power input terminal and power output terminal of the step-down circuit. The resistance values ​​R4 and R5 of the fourth resistor R4 and the fifth resistor R5 satisfy the following:

[0032]

[0033] Among them, V Pin This refers to the input voltage value of the voltage regulator chip. Since the voltage regulator chip has a maximum input voltage limit, once the input voltage exceeds the rated voltage, the output voltage cannot be stabilized within the required range, and may even damage the device. By setting the fourth resistor R4, the fifth resistor R5, and the second operational amplifier OP2, the input voltage is reduced to the input voltage range that the voltage regulator chip can adapt to, allowing the buck circuit to adapt to a higher input voltage range.

[0034] Preferably, the resistance values ​​R4 of the fourth resistor R4 and R5 of the fifth resistor R5 satisfy the following:

[0035]

[0036] Among them, Min(V)Pin ) represents the minimum input voltage value within the operating range of the voltage regulator chip, Max(V) Pin ) represents the maximum input voltage value within the adaptability range of the voltage regulator chip, ΔV Pin This represents the maximum voltage fluctuation value at the input terminal of the voltage regulator chip in the buck circuit. In the above embodiment, by reasonably setting the resistance values ​​R4 of the fourth resistor and R5 of the fifth resistor, the input voltage of the voltage regulator chip in the buck circuit can always be within its suitable range, thereby ensuring the stability of the output voltage and preventing the input voltage of the voltage regulator chip from exceeding its maximum suitable voltage value due to voltage fluctuations, which would result in the inability to output the expected stable voltage value.

[0037] This invention proposes a step-down circuit based on a voltage regulator chip. The input terminal of the voltage regulator chip, the first power input terminal of the first operational amplifier, and the first terminal of the capacitor are connected to the positive terminal of the power input terminal. The ground terminal of the voltage regulator chip is connected to the first signal input terminal, the second signal input terminal, and the signal output terminal of the first operational amplifier. The output terminal of the voltage regulator chip is connected to the first terminal of the first resistor. The first signal input terminal of the first operational amplifier, the second terminal of the first resistor, the first terminal of the second resistor, and the first terminal of the first switch are connected to the positive terminal of the power output terminal. The first terminal of the second switch is connected to the second terminal of the first switch. The second terminal of the second resistor and the first terminal of the third resistor are connected to the second terminal of the second switch. The second power input terminal of the first operational amplifier, the second terminal of the capacitor, the second terminal of the third resistor, and the third terminal of the second switch are connected to the negative terminal of the power supply. This circuit can achieve multi-stage voltage output and has a wider range of applications.
