Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application relates to the technical field of circuits, in particular to a topology circuit combining an operational amplifier and a comparator. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the field of ideal diode and load switch related controller chips, in order to obtain low voltage drop and fast turn-off characteristics, an operational amplifier and a comparator are often involved. The operational amplifier obtains a low on-voltage drop through negative feedback to reduce power loss on the path. The comparator compares the voltage drop between the two ends of the path, and rapidly turns off some external devices when a certain voltage difference is met, to avoid reverse current flow. For example, in the field of ideal diode controllers, as shown in FIG. 1, an operational amplifier forms a closed loop with an external power NMOS, and obtains a low on-voltage drop Vos_ea, for example, 30 mV, under the action of negative feedback. Since the voltage drop from the input source end to the output out end is very low, the power loss on the path is effectively reduced when a large current flows through the external power NMOS. The comparator compares the voltage drop from the input source end to the output out end, and rapidly turns off the external power NMOS when a certain voltage difference Vos_com, for example, 30 mV, is met, to avoid reverse current flow. Figure 1
[0003] At present, the forward on-voltage drop Vos_ea is obtained by negative feedback of the operational amplifier, and the monitoring turn-off voltage Vos_com is realized by the comparator. In order to realize as low on-voltage drop as possible, Vos_ea is often reduced, but the reduction of Vos_ea is limited by the mismatch factor of manufacturing process. Reducing the central expected value of Vos_ea will lead to a too low voltage drop under negative feedback (combined with the mismatch introduced by manufacturing), and the negative feedback will fail. The monitoring voltage Vos_com of the comparator is also affected by the mismatch caused by manufacturing. From the distribution, there is a possibility that the forward on-voltage drop distribution function Vos_ea(X) and the reverse turn-off distribution function Vos_com(Y) have an overlapping region. Once the overlap occurs, it means that the forward on-voltage drop of some chips is not higher than the reverse turn-off point, which will cause the technical problem of oscillation. Therefore, how to avoid oscillation in the use process of the operational amplifier and the comparator has become a technical problem that cannot be ignored. SUMMARY

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0041] In order to make the purposes, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. It should be understood that the drawings in the present application only serve the purpose of description and illustration, and are not used to limit the scope of protection of the present application.

In addition, one or more other operations can be added to the flowcharts or one or more operations can be removed from the flowcharts by those skilled in the art under the guidance of the content of the present application.
[0042] In addition, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present application described and shown in the drawings herein can be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present application provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed present application, but only represents selected embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0043] In order to enable those skilled in the art to use the content of the present application, the following implementation is given in combination with a specific application scenario "circuit for fusing operational amplifier and comparator", and those skilled in the art can apply the general principles defined herein to other embodiments and application scenarios without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application.
[0044] The circuit described in the embodiments of the present application can be applied to any scenario that needs to fuse an operational amplifier and a comparator, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit the specific application scenario. Any solution using the topology circuit provided by the embodiments of the present application for combining an operational amplifier and a comparator is within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0045] First, the application scenarios applicable to the present application are introduced. The present application can be applied to the field of circuit.
[0046] It is found through research that, at the present stage, the positive conduction voltage drop Vos_ea is obtained by negative feedback of the operational amplifier, and the monitoring off voltage Vos_com is realized by the comparator. In order to realize as low a conduction voltage drop as possible, Vos_ea is often reduced, but the reduction of Vos_ea is limited by the mismatch factor of the manufacturing process. Blindly reducing the central expected value of Vos_ea will cause the voltage drop value to be too low under negative feedback (combined with the mismatch introduced by manufacturing), and the negative feedback will fail. The monitoring voltage Vos_com of the comparator is also affected by the mismatch caused by manufacturing. From the distribution, there is a possibility that the positive conduction voltage drop distribution function Vos_ea(X) and the reverse off distribution function Vos_com(Y) have an overlapping region. Once the overlap occurs, it means that the positive conduction voltage drop of some chips is not higher than the reverse off point, which will cause the technical problem of oscillation. Therefore, how to avoid oscillation during the use of the operational amplifier and the comparator has become a technical problem that cannot be underestimated.
[0047] There are two contradictions in the prior art. One is that there is a contradiction between reducing the positive voltage drop Vos_ea(X) and the mismatch of the manufacturing process, so that the designer cannot blindly reduce the positive voltage drop. The second is that the reverse off voltage Vos_com(Y) must be far away from the distribution of the positive voltage drop Vos_ea(X) to avoid oscillation, so that the designer cannot blindly arrange the reverse off voltage close to the positive voltage drop. Therefore, in order to reduce the positive voltage drop Vos_ea(X) while maintaining the stability of the controller, the common technology in the industry is to symmetrically arrange the above two distributions around the center 0 axis. However, although this design strategy is safe enough, it has a defect that the reverse off point Vos_com(Y) is arranged on the left side of the 0 axis, which means that the controller must be turned off when out is significantly greater than source by a certain value, which inevitably brings the problem of reverse current. Therefore, in the design, a differential circuit structure is used to assist in reducing the reverse current problem at the moment of turning off. As can be seen from the above analysis, the fundamental reason for the occurrence of reverse current is that, in order to maintain a low voltage drop and the stability of the controller, the off detection voltage must be far away from the region of the positive voltage drop, and it is very easy to enter the left side of the 0 axis. Combined with the mismatch of the comparator, the distribution center μos_com of Vos_com(Y) is arranged on the left side of the 0 axis by a lot. Considering the transmission delay of the comparator, the occurrence of reverse current is almost inevitable.
[0048] Based on this, the embodiment of the present application provides a topology circuit combined with an operational amplifier and a comparator. The operational amplifier and the comparator circuit structure are shared on the circuit topology, the positive voltage drop and the reverse off voltage mechanism become related mechanisms, the positive voltage drop is kept as low as possible, and the reverse off point is not far away from the origin. Therefore, the purpose of reducing the reverse current and avoiding oscillation during the reverse off period is achieved.
[0049] Referring to Figure 2 , Figure 2 Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a topology circuit provided by an embodiment of the present application, which combines an operational amplifier and a comparator. Figure 2 As shown in Figure 1, the topology circuit 200 provided by the embodiment of the present application includes an active load 210 including four MOS transistors, two single-ended conversion circuits each including two MOS transistors, a differential current conversion circuit 240, a differential input circuit 250, and a driving circuit 260.
[0050] Specifically, a first end of the first single-ended conversion circuit 220 is electrically connected to a first end of the active load 210, a second end of the first single-ended conversion circuit 220 is electrically connected to a second end of the active load 210, a third end of the first single-ended conversion circuit 220 is electrically connected to a third end of the second single-ended conversion circuit 230, and a fourth end of the first single-ended conversion circuit 220 is electrically connected to a fourth end of the second single-ended conversion circuit 230 and a second end of the driving circuit 260.
[0051] For example, the first single-ended conversion circuit 220 is configured to convert a differential signal into a single-ended signal.
[0052] For example, the first single-ended conversion circuit 220 includes two MOS transistors.
[0053] For example, the active load 210 includes four MOS transistors. Due to the existence of the forward voltage drop of the operational amplifier and the reverse blocking voltage drop of the comparator, the active load 210 needs to be specially designed, and the width-length ratio of the four MOS transistors needs to be designed.
[0054] Specifically, a first end of the first single-ended conversion circuit 220 is electrically connected to a first end of the active load 210, a second end of the first single-ended conversion circuit 220 is electrically connected to a second end of the active load 210, a third end of the first single-ended conversion circuit 220 is electrically connected to a third end of the second single-ended conversion circuit 230, and a fourth end of the first single-ended conversion circuit 220 is electrically connected to a fourth end of the second single-ended conversion circuit 230 and a second end of the driving circuit 260.
[0055] Specifically, a first end of the first single-ended conversion circuit 220 is electrically connected to a first end of the active load 210, a second end of the first single-ended conversion circuit 220 is electrically connected to a second end of the active load 210, a third end of the first single-ended conversion circuit 220 is electrically connected to a third end of the second single-ended conversion circuit 230, and a fourth end of the first single-ended conversion circuit 220 is electrically connected to a fourth end of the second single-ended conversion circuit 230 and a second end of the driving circuit 260.
[0056] For example, the second single-ended conversion circuit 230 is configured to convert a differential signal into a single-ended signal.
[0057] For example, the second single-ended conversion circuit 230 includes two MOS transistors.
[0058] For example, the first end of the second single-ended conversion circuit 230 is electrically connected with the third end of the active load 210, the second end of the second single-ended conversion circuit 230 is electrically connected with the fourth end of the active load 210, and the fifth end of the second single-ended conversion circuit 230 is electrically connected with the first end of the driving circuit 260.
[0059] Specifically, the fifth end of the active load 210 is electrically connected with the first end of the differential current conversion circuit 240, the sixth end of the active load 210 is electrically connected with the second end of the differential current conversion circuit 240, the third end of the differential current conversion circuit 240 is electrically connected with the first end of the differential input circuit 250, the fourth end of the differential current conversion circuit 240 is electrically connected with the second end of the differential input circuit 250, the third end of the differential input circuit 250 is electrically connected with the second end of the driving circuit 260, and the power supply is electrically connected with the seventh end of the active load 210.
[0060] Here, the power supply can be 3V, 5V, etc., and the type of the power supply is not limited here.
[0061] For example, the differential current conversion circuit 240 is used to convert the tail current input by the differential input circuit 250 into differential current.
[0062] For example, the differential input circuit 250 is used for differential input, and the differential input using PMOS allows the common-mode level to be 0. The symmetric differential input caused by the differential input has very low mismatch under the premise that the width-length ratio is sufficient.
[0063] For example, the fifth end of the active load 210 is electrically connected with the first end of the differential current conversion circuit 240, the sixth end of the active load 210 is electrically connected with the second end of the differential current conversion circuit 240, the third end of the differential current conversion circuit 240 is electrically connected with the first end of the differential input circuit 250, the fourth end of the differential current conversion circuit 240 is electrically connected with the second end of the differential input circuit 250, the third end of the differential input circuit 250 is electrically connected with the second end of the driving circuit 260, and the power supply is electrically connected with the seventh end of the active load 210.
[0064] Specifically, when the first differential input voltage of the differential input circuit 250 is less than the second differential input voltage, the four MOS tubes of the active load 210 are in a first connection mode to realize the function of an operational amplifier; when the first differential input voltage of the differential input circuit 250 is greater than the second differential input voltage, the four MOS tubes of the active load 210 are in a second connection mode to realize the function of a comparator.
[0065] The working principle of the circuit is as follows:
[0066] In the topology circuit combining an operational amplifier and a comparator, when the first differential input voltage of the differential input circuit 250 is lower than the second differential input voltage, the current flowing from the first end of the differential current conversion circuit 240 through the fifth end of the active load 210 is higher than the current flowing from the second end of the differential current conversion circuit 240 through the sixth end of the active load 210, the four MOS transistors inside the active load 210 are in the first connection mode so that the topology circuit is equivalent to an operational amplifier; when the first differential input voltage of the differential input circuit 250 is higher than the second differential input voltage, the current flowing from the first end of the differential current conversion circuit 240 through the sixth end of the active load 210 is higher. When the current flowing through the fifth terminal of the active load 210 is lower than the current flowing through the sixth terminal of the active load 210 from the second terminal of the differential current conversion circuit 240, the four MOS transistors within the active load 210 are in the second connection mode, so that the topological circuit is equivalent to a comparator. This allows the forward voltage drop generated by the operational amplifier and the reverse shutdown voltage generated by the comparator to become a correlation mechanism. Even if there is an overlapping area between the two, there is no oscillation. This not only maintains the advantage of keeping the forward voltage drop as low as possible, but also prevents the reverse shutdown point from moving too far away from the zero axis, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing reverse current and avoiding oscillation during the reverse shutdown period.
[0067] For further information, see Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a second structural diagram of a topological circuit combining an operational amplifier and a comparator provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 3 As shown, the active load 210 includes a first MOS transistor 211, a second MOS transistor 212, a third MOS transistor 213, and a fourth MOS transistor 214; the first single-ended conversion circuit 220 includes a fifth MOS transistor 221 and a sixth MOS transistor 222; the second single-ended conversion circuit 230 includes a seventh MOS transistor 231 and an eighth MOS transistor 232; the differential current conversion circuit 240 includes a ninth MOS transistor 241, a tenth MOS transistor 242, an eleventh MOS transistor 243, a twelfth MOS transistor 244, and a first bias current source 245; the differential input circuit 250 includes a thirteenth MOS transistor 251 and a fourteenth MOS transistor 252; and the drive circuit 260 includes a fifteenth MOS transistor 261, a sixteenth MOS transistor 262, and a second bias current source 263.
[0068] Specifically, the source of the first MOS transistor 211 is electrically connected with the source of the second MOS transistor 212, the gate of the first MOS transistor 211 is electrically connected with the drain of the second MOS transistor 212 and the drain of the first MOS transistor 211, wherein the source of the first MOS transistor 211 is the first end of the active load 210, the gate of the first MOS transistor 211 is the second end of the active load 210, and the drain of the first MOS transistor 211 is the fifth end of the active load 210; the source of the third MOS transistor 213 is electrically connected with the source of the fourth MOS transistor 214, the drain of the third MOS transistor 213 is electrically connected with the drain of the fourth MOS transistor 214 and the gate of the fourth MOS transistor 214, wherein the source of the fourth MOS transistor 214 is the third end of the active load 210, the gate of the fourth MOS transistor 214 is the fourth end of the active load 210, and the drain of the third MOS transistor 213 is the sixth end of the active load 210; the gate of the second MOS transistor 212 is electrically connected with the drain of the third MOS transistor 213, and the source of the second MOS transistor 212 is electrically connected with the gate of the third MOS transistor 213.
[0069] For example, the gate of the second MOS transistor 212 is electrically connected with the drain of the third MOS transistor 213, so that the current of the gate of the second MOS transistor 212 is consistent with the current of the drain of the third MOS transistor 213, and the gate of the third MOS transistor 213 is electrically connected with the drain of the second MOS transistor 212, so that the current of the gate of the third MOS transistor 213 is consistent with the current of the drain of the second MOS transistor 212.

[0099] Further, please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 6 The comparison chart of the operation amplifier provided by the embodiment of the present application and the independent design of the operation amplifier and the comparator. As shown in Figure 6As shown, in the present scheme, a circuit topology is used, combining the feedback of the operational amplifier and the comparison function of the comparator together. During the forward conduction period, the circuit topology exhibits the negative feedback characteristics of the operational amplifier, and the voltage drop across the feedback depends on the ratio of the number of transistors in the internal active load, and the forward conduction voltage drop value corresponds to Vos_ea. When external factors cause the power NMOS (the sixteenth MOS tube) to be closed, the circuit topology behaves as a comparator, and the comparison trigger level of the comparator also depends on the ratio of the number of transistors in the internal active load, and the reverse off voltage corresponds to Vos_com. Since both are determined by the same active load, the forward voltage drop distribution function Vos_ea(X) and the reverse off distribution function Vos_com(Y) satisfy the function correlation. The forward voltage drop distribution function Vos_ea(X) and the reverse off distribution function Vos_com(Y) satisfy the function correlation, which can be described using the protection gap function G(X-Y). The meaning of this function is to statistically analyze the sample function of the specific Vos_ea-Vos_com of each chip. By comparing the independent design of the operational amplifier and the comparator with the scheme of combining the two in the present scheme, G1(X-Y) and G2(X-Y) under the two designs perform as follows: In order to reduce the forward voltage drop, the left figure will reduce the distribution center μos_ea of the forward conduction voltage drop, and at the same time, considering that the protection gap between the reverse off cannot be too low in distribution (μ-3σ>0) otherwise it will cause oscillation, so the distribution center μos_com of the reverse off voltage must be reduced (even into negative value), so that the center expectation μ of G1(X-Y) is high enough, and the distribution is guaranteed to be mostly positive, but it will cause the distribution of the reverse off voltage to be too low (even mostly negative), and significant reverse current will appear. In the present scheme, as shown in the right figure, the center expectation μ of the protection gap function G2(X-Y) is the same as that of the left figure. Since the amplification and comparison links are related in the circuit topology, the gap difference also depends on the number ratio of the MOS tubes, so theoretically the dispersion is very small, so the forward voltage drop μos_ea is also reduced. Since the distribution of G2(X-Y) is very concentrated, the designer can make the distribution center μos_com of the reverse off voltage close to the forward voltage drop μos_ea, so that the center expectation μ of G2(X-Y) is relatively low, and there is no need to worry about the distribution of G2(X-Y) being less than 0. Because the distribution of the reverse off voltage can be relatively high (even mostly positive), the reverse current is not significant.
