Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of integrated circuit technology, and in particular to a voltage regulation circuit, chip, and electronic device. Background Technology

[0002] In the power driver management chip of AMOLED (Active-matrix organic light-emitting diode), there is a TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) test requirement: the input power supply is subjected to interference at regular intervals, fluctuating upwards or downwards by 500mV within 10μs, and this 500mV fluctuation must last for at least 500μs. Figure 2 As shown. If such interference occurs, the output of the DC-DC Boost architecture will definitely have either overshoot or undershoot. This disturbance must be less than 20mV under loads up to 200mA and less than 60mV under loads up to 1A.

[0003] exist Figure 1 In the voltage adjustment circuit 100 shown, the first transistor Q1 is a PMOS freewheeling transistor, and the second transistor Q2 is an NMOS switching transistor. The first transistor Q1 and the second transistor Q2 are turned on alternately to ensure that the current in the inductor L is continuous. Due to the operation amplifier OP and the fourth transistor Q4, the four-terminal voltages of the first transistor Q1 and its mirror image, the third transistor Q3, are completely identical, and the current sampling ratio satisfies the proportional relationship m = W. Q1 / W Q2 Sampling current Isense = I L / m, the current flowing into the sampling resistor Rramp meets the system's requirements for sampling current.

[0004] Furthermore, the feedback voltage signal Vfb = Vout * [R2 / (R1+R2)] is used. The comparator COMP adjusts the duty cycle of the entire system's PWM signal by comparing the relationship between the output voltage Vea of ​​the error amplifier gm and the ramp compensation voltage Vramp. The frequency of the PWM signal is determined by the clock signal CLK output by the oscillator. The reference resistor Rea and the reference capacitor Cea are used to compensate for the stability of the entire boost loop under different current load conditions.

[0005] However, if the input voltage Vin changes and jumps, the output current does not change abruptly. It needs to wait until the output voltage Vout changes and is reflected in the feedback voltage signal Vfb before being amplified to the output voltage Vea by the error amplifier gm. Then, the comparator COMP compares the changes and adjusts the duty cycle of the PWM to adjust the change in the output voltage Vout again. The whole process can be simply described as Vin→Vout→Vfb→Vea→Cmp_out→PWM→Vout.

[0006] However, Figure 1 The voltage adjustment circuit 100 shown cannot respond quickly to changes in the input voltage Vin, especially for input voltages with different average values, such as when the input voltage changes from 2.9V to 3.4V, and it cannot adjust the output voltage Vout in a timely manner.

OUT And a load current detection unit. Specifically, the first path terminal of the first transistor Q1 is connected to the second terminal of the inductor L in the voltage input module 110, and its control terminal is connected to the second output terminal of the PWM control unit in the control module 120; the first path terminal of the second transistor Q2 is connected to the first path terminal of the first transistor Q1, its second path terminal is connected to the ground terminal GND, and its control terminal is connected to the first output terminal of the PWM control unit in the control module 120; the first path terminal of the third transistor Q3 is connected to the first path terminal of the first transistor Q1, and its control terminal is connected to the control terminal of the first transistor Q1; the first path terminal of the fourth transistor Q4 is connected to the second path terminal of the third transistor Q3, and its second path terminal is connected to the control module 120, used to provide a sampling current Isense; the load current detection unit includes three... The first terminal is connected to the second path terminal of the first transistor Q1, the second terminal is connected to the DC voltage output terminal Vout, and the third terminal is connected to the compensation module 240 for outputting the load voltage Vctrl. The operational amplifier OP includes a non-inverting input terminal, an inverting input terminal, and an output terminal.

Among them, the first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2 are connected in series, and the midpoint of the connection between the two resistors is connected to the first input terminal of the error amplifier gm in the control module 120 for providing the feedback voltage signal Vfb.

[0037] In this embodiment, the first transistor Q1 is, for example, a PMOS freewheeling transistor, and the second transistor Q2 is an NMOS switching transistor. The control signals output from the two output terminals of the PWM control unit are the same, but since the first transistor Q1 and the second transistor Q2 are respectively turned on at high level and low level, the first transistor Q1 and the second transistor Q2 are turned on alternately.

[0038] Furthermore, the voltage output module 230 includes a load current detection unit, load sense, located between the second path terminal of the first transistor Q1 and the DC voltage output terminal Vout. This unit detects the load current Iload and generates a load voltage Vctrl based on the load current Iload. The value of the load voltage Vctrl output by the load current detection unit load sense is:

[0039] Vctal = α * Iload,

[0040] Here, α is a preset parameter, and * represents a multiplication operation.

[0041] The compensation module 240 includes a first compensation unit (gm1) 241, a second compensation unit (gm2) 242, a multiplication unit 243, and a correction unit (Vin plus) 244. The first compensation unit 241 includes a non-inverting input terminal, an inverting input terminal, and an output terminal. Its inverting input terminal is connected to the ground terminal GND, and its output terminal is connected to the second terminal of the sampling capacitor Cramp in the control module 120. The second compensation unit 242 includes a non-inverting input terminal, an inverting input terminal, and an output terminal. Its inverting input terminal is connected to the ground terminal GND, and its output terminal is connected to the output terminal of the first compensation unit 241. The multiplication unit 243 includes two input terminals and one output terminal. Its first input terminal is connected to the DC voltage input terminal Vin, and its second input terminal is connected to the third terminal of the load current detection unit load sense in the voltage output module 230 to receive the load voltage Vctrl. Its output terminal is connected to the non-inverting input terminal of the second compensation unit 242. The first terminal of the correction unit (Vin plus) 244 is connected to the DC voltage input terminal Vin, and its second terminal is connected to the non-inverting input terminal of the first compensation unit 241.

[0042] Among them, the multiplication unit 243 is used to generate an intermediate voltage based on the input voltage Vin and the load voltage Vctrl; the correction unit (Vin plus) 244 is used to generate a correction amount based on the input voltage Vin, which is a variable related to the current DC average value of the input voltage Vin; the first compensation unit 241 is used to output a first compensation current Isink1, and the second compensation unit 242 is used to output a second compensation current Isink2.

[0043] In this embodiment, the structural schematic diagram of the correction unit 244 in the compensation module 240 is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the correction unit 244 includes a filter 2441, a subtractor 2442, and an adder 2443. Specifically, the first terminal of the filter 2441 is connected to the DC voltage input terminal Vin, and the filter 2441 receives the input voltage Vin and outputs the average value of the input voltage Vin. The first terminal of subtractor 2442 is connected to the second terminal of filter 2441, and subtractor 2442 is used to average the input voltage Vin. To perform subtraction, for example, the signal output by subtractor 2442 is... Adder 2443 includes three terminals. The first terminal is connected to the second terminal of subtractor 2442, the second terminal is connected to the DC voltage input terminal Vin, and the third terminal serves as the second terminal of the entire correction unit 244, connected to the non-inverting input terminal of the first compensation unit 241. The signal output by adder 2443 is, for example,

[0044] Furthermore, since the correction unit 244 is located between the non-inverting input terminal and the DC voltage input terminal Vin of the first compensation unit 241, it can correct the first compensation current Isink1 output by the first compensation unit 241. The correction unit 244 essentially adds a variable related to the current DC average value of the input voltage Vin to the change in input voltage Vin, ΔVin. For the same output voltage Vout, different input voltages introduce an average value related to the input voltage Vin. The relevant increments can improve the performance of line-transient. Line-transient refers to transient overvoltage or overcurrent caused by sudden changes in current or voltage.

[0045] Further, refer to Figure 3 When the input voltage Vin of the voltage adjustment circuit 200 changes by a jump of ΔVin, the multiplication unit 243 generates an output voltage Vmultipie based on the load voltage Vctrl and the DC voltage Vin. The value of the output voltage Vmultipie is:

[0046] Vmultipie=β*Vctrl*Vin=α*β*Iload*Vin,

[0047] Wherein, β is a preset parameter.

[0048] The change in the compensation current Isink, which is ultimately applied to the reference resistor Rramp, by the compensation module 240 is:

[0049]

[0050] Therefore, according to the above formula, the part before the plus sign can compensate for changes in load current, while the part after the plus sign can compensate for changes in the average value of the input voltage Vin, thereby enabling the present application to... Figure 3In the voltage regulation circuit shown, regardless of changes in the load and input voltage Vin, the peak-to-peak value Vpp of the output voltage Vout can be effectively controlled within 20mV. Here, peak-to-peak value Vpp represents the difference between the maximum and minimum values ​​of the voltage waveform within one cycle.

[0051] Furthermore, Figure 5a for Figure 3 The voltage regulation circuit shown exhibits the peak-to-peak value variation of the output voltage Vout under different load currents Iload when the input voltage Vin is 2.9V, 3.4V, and 3.9V without correction unit 244. Figure 5b for Figure 3 The voltage regulation circuit 200 shown exhibits the peak-to-peak value variation of its output voltage Vout under input voltages Vin of 2.9V, 3.4V, and 3.9V, and under different load currents Iload.

[0052] refer to Figure 5a and Figure 5b It can be understood that without the correction unit 244, the structure of fixed voltage compensation and load current compensation alone is insufficient for different input voltages Vin. When the input voltage Vin is low, the compensation amount is insufficient, and the peak-to-peak value of the output voltage Vout Vpp is somewhat large. However, the voltage adjustment circuit 200 of this embodiment is significantly better than... Figure 1 The voltage adjustment circuit 100 shown not only ensures that the output voltage Vout can quickly respond to changes in the input voltage Vin, but also ensures that the output voltage Vout meets the requirements of the specification (SPEC) for fast-line excitation of the power supply in TDMA testing, regardless of the load or the average value of the input voltage Vin. This meets the TDMA testing requirements of AMOLED in various application environments.

This allows the compensation module to respond quickly whenever the input voltage changes or the average value of the input voltage changes, inputting a compensation current to the control module to generate a control signal. The voltage output module can output a stable target voltage based on the control signal, without excessive overshoot or undershoot.

[0056] Furthermore, the voltage adjustment circuit, chip, and electronic device provided in this application also include a load current detection unit in the voltage output module.
