Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of this specification relate to the field of circuit technologies, and particularly to a dynamic voltage adjustment method and circuit. Background Art

[0002] With the increasing requirements for larger screen sizes of electronic products and the increasing applications of always-on displays, new challenges are posed to the battery life of electronic products. Currently, there are two commonly used power-saving modes. One is envelope tracking (ET), and the other is average power tracking (APT). The basic function of both is to make the power supply of the power amplifier change with the input signal.

[0003] Currently, the Buck DC / DC buck topology is mostly used in the power supply for the power amplifier (PA). The input signal of the PA is collected by the MIPI interface, and the output signal of the MIPI interface finally controls and adjusts the output voltage of the Buck circuit to ensure that the voltage output by the Buck can change with the change of the PA input signal. To improve the efficiency and stability of the circuit, the Buck circuit needs to have an adaptive dynamic voltage adjustment function to make the output voltage of the Buck closely follow the change of the PA input.

[0004] The principle of the existing common Buck voltage control mode is to collect the input signal of the PA by the MIPI and control and adjust the output voltage Vout of the Buck circuit. Specifically, for the output voltage Vout of the Buck circuit, the voltage of FB is obtained through the voltage-dividing resistors R1 and R2. This voltage is error-amplified with the reference voltage Vref1 to obtain the output V of the error amplifier EA . Output V EA is connected to the positive input terminal of the comparator COMP. The negative input terminal of the comparator COMP is the inductor current collected. Through the comparison and inversion of the comparator COMP, a pulsed signal of the output VC is obtained. The high and low levels of this pulsed signal control the conduction of the upper transistor MP and the lower transistor MN of the Buck circuit through the drive logic. This feedback network belongs to a negative feedback network. When the output voltage Vout decreases, the collected FB voltage value increases, so that the V EA voltage becomes smaller. Through the comparison and inversion of the comparator COMP, the duty cycle of the output VC becomes larger. Through the drive logic circuit, the conduction time of the lower transistor MN becomes longer, and the conduction time of the upper transistor MP becomes shorter, resulting in an increase in the Vout voltage; when the output voltage Vout increases, the collected FB voltage value decreases, so that the V EAWhen the voltage increases, after comparison by the comparator COMP and inversion, the duty cycle of the output VC becomes smaller. Through the driving logic circuit, the conduction time of the upper transistor MP becomes longer and the conduction time of the lower transistor MN becomes shorter, resulting in a decrease in the Vout voltage. The stability of the output voltage is achieved through this negative feedback network. When the Vout voltage suddenly increases a lot, due to the sudden large increase in the Vout voltage, under the action of the load capacitor CL, a positive (in the same direction as the inductor current) pulsed charging current will be generated. This current flows from the left side to the right side of the inductor and, through the driving logic circuit, causes the upper transistor MP to conduct at this time, and the upper transistor MP is in the charging mode. Without the control of the charging circuit, the charging current of the upper transistor can reach a very high level, often exceeding the normal operating current, thus causing damage to the upper transistor. For example, when the normal power supply voltage VDD = 5V and the output voltage V OUT rises from 0.7V to 4.5V and the load RL = 3Ω, without the control of the charging circuit, the charging current of the upper transistor can reach about 9A, completely exceeding the maximum output current capacity of 1.2A.

[0005] Similarly, when the Vout voltage suddenly decreases a lot, due to the sudden large decrease in the Vout voltage, under the action of the load capacitor CL, a negative (opposite to the inductor current) pulsed discharging current will be generated. This current flows from the right side to the left side of the inductor and, through the driving logic circuit, causes the lower transistor MN to conduct at this time, and the lower transistor MN is in the discharging mode. Without the control of the discharging circuit, the discharging current of the lower transistor can reach a very high level, often exceeding the normal operating current, thus causing damage to the lower transistor.

[0006] In the existing technology, when the output voltage changes transiently a lot, due to the generation of large pulsed charging / discharging currents, it will cause the upper / lower transistors to burn out, resulting in the system being unable to work properly. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a better solution. Summary of the Invention

[0074] Hereinafter, the embodiments of this specification will combine the dynamic voltage adjustment method with the dynamic voltage adjustment circuit for description. For details, refer to the following embodiments.

[0075] See Figure 1b , Figure 1b shows a circuit diagram of a dynamic voltage adjustment circuit 100 provided according to an embodiment of this specification. The dynamic voltage adjustment circuit 100 includes a Buck module 101, a charge / discharge enabling signal generation module 102, a charge / discharge control signal generation module 103, and a charge / discharge signal generation module 104; the input end of the Buck module 101 is electrically connected to the output end of the charge / discharge signal generation module 104, and the output end of the Buck module 101 is electrically connected to the input end of the charge / discharge enabling signal generation module 102; the output end of the charge / discharge enabling signal generation module 102 is electrically connected to the input end of the charge / discharge signal generation module 104; the input / output end of the charge / discharge signal generation module 104 is electrically connected to the input / output end of the charge / discharge control signal generation module 103; the Buck module 101 is configured to step down the input voltage to an output voltage and generate a sampling voltage based on the output voltage; the charge / discharge enabling signal generation module 102 is configured to compare the sampling voltage with a first threshold voltage and a second threshold voltage. When the sampling voltage is greater than the first threshold voltage, a high-level discharge enabling signal is generated to allow the lower transistor to discharge. When the sampling voltage is less than the second threshold voltage, a low-level charge enabling signal is generated to allow the upper transistor to charge; the charge / discharge control signal generation module 103 is configured to generate a charge control signal and a discharge control signal to control the maximum current of charging and discharging; the charge / discharge signal generation module 104 is configured to correspondingly generate a charge start signal or a discharge start signal under the combined action of the charge / discharge enabling signal and the charge / discharge control signal.

[0076] Among them, the Buck module 101 can be a Buck circuit. The sampling voltage can be an FB signal. The output voltage can be Vout. The threshold voltages can be Vref_A and Vref_B, the enabling signals can be EN_A and EN_B signals, the electrical signals can be ontime_A and ontime_B signals. The control signals can be X70_YA and X70_YB signals. The upper transistor can be understood as the circuit where MP is located, and the lower transistor can be understood as the circuit where MN is located.

[0077] In practical applications, see Figure 1b, the charge / discharge enable signal generation module 102 is used to compare the sampled voltage value of FB with the threshold voltages (Vref_A and Vref_B), and generate the enable signals for the upper transistor charging and the lower transistor discharging; the comparator compares the magnitude of the FB voltage with the voltages Vref_A and Vref_B, and after delaying a preset time, generates the enable signal EN_A for controlling charging and the discharge EN_B signal. The input of the charge / discharge enable signal generation module 102 is the FB signal, Vref_A and Vref_B signals, and the output is the EN_A and EN_B signals. The EN_A signal is used to control the charging of the upper transistor, and the EN_B signal is used to control the discharging of the lower transistor. The output terminal serves as the input terminal of the charge / discharge enable signal generation module 102.

[0078] Further, refer to Figure 1b , the charge / discharge control signal generation module 103 is used to generate the upper transistor charging control signal X70_YB and the lower transistor discharging control signal X70_YA. Its input is the ontime_A and ontime_B signals, and the output is the X70_YA and X70_YB signals.

[0079] Further, refer to Figure 1b , the charge / discharge signal generation module 104 is used to generate the start signals for controlling the upper transistor charging and the lower transistor discharging. When the upper transistor charging enable signal EN_B is at a high level, under the control of the upper transistor charging control signal X70_YB signal, it generates the upper transistor charging signal ontime_B. When the lower transistor discharging enable signal EN_A is at a high level, under the control of the lower transistor discharging control signal X70_YA signal, it generates the lower transistor discharging signal ontime_A. Its input terminal is connected to the output terminals of the charge / discharge enable signal generation module 102 and the charge / discharge control signal generation module 103, and the output terminals are respectively connected to the upper transistor and the lower transistor.

[0080] In a possible implementation manner, the charge / discharge enable signal generation module 102 includes a first enable unit 1021 and a second enable unit 1022; the threshold voltages include a first threshold voltage and a second threshold voltage; the enable signals include a discharge enable signal and a charge enable signal; the first input terminal of the first enable unit 1021 is electrically connected to the output terminal of the Buck module 101, and the second input terminal of the first enable unit 1021 is the preset first threshold voltage; the first input terminal of the second enable unit 1022 is electrically connected to the output terminal of the Buck module 101, and the second input terminal of the second enable unit 1022 is the preset second threshold voltage; the first enable unit 1021 is used to compare the sampled voltage with the first threshold voltage to determine the discharge enable signal; the second enable unit 1022 is used to compare the sampled voltage with the second threshold voltage to determine the charge enable signal.

[0081] Among them, the first threshold voltage can be Vref_A, and the second threshold voltage can be Vref_B. The discharge enable signal can be the EN_A signal, and the discharge enable signal can be the EN_B signal.

[0082] Furthermore, the first enabling unit 1021 includes a first comparator COMP_A1, a first delay element, and a first inverter; the second enabling unit 1022 includes a second comparator COMP_B1, a second delay element, and a second inverter; a first input terminal of the first comparator COMP_A1 is electrically connected to an output terminal of the Buck module 101, and a second input terminal of the first comparator COMP_A1 is adapted to be connected to the first threshold voltage; an input terminal of the first delay element is electrically connected to an output terminal of the first comparator COMP_A1; an input terminal of the first inverter is electrically connected to an output terminal of the first delay element; a first input terminal of the second comparator COMP_B1 is electrically connected to an output terminal of the Buck module 101, and a second input terminal of the second comparator COMP_B1 is adapted to be connected to the second threshold voltage; an input terminal of the second delay element is electrically connected to an output terminal of the second comparator COMP_B1; an input terminal of the second inverter is electrically connected to an output terminal of the second delay element. When the sampled voltage is greater than the first threshold voltage, the discharge enable signal is controlled to be set to a high level; when the sampled voltage is less than the second threshold voltage, the charge enable signal is controlled to be set to a high level.

[0083] Specifically, refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 which shows a circuit diagram of the charge / discharge enable signal generation module 102. Among them, the charging is the charging of the upper transistor MP, and the discharging is the discharging of the lower transistor MN.

[0084] During normal operation, in Figure 1b , Vref1 = 0.6V. When the Vout voltage changes suddenly by a large amount, the enable signals for triggering the charging of the upper transistor and the discharging of the lower transistor are generated. In Figure 2 , Vref_A = 0.7V, Vref_B = 0.5V. That is, when the FB voltage is between 0.5V and 0.7V, it operates according to the normal Buck circuit voltage control mode; when the FB voltage is greater than 0.7V, the discharge enable signal EN_A of the lower transistor is triggered, and at this time EN_A is at a high level, enabling the lower transistor to discharge; when the FB voltage is less than 0.5V, the charge enable signal EN_B of the upper transistor is triggered, and at this time EN_B is at a high level, enabling the upper transistor to charge. The FB voltage is a partial voltage of the output voltage of the Buck circuit, and the transient trend of the output voltage is opposite to that of the FB voltage. When the output voltage increases, the FB voltage decreases instantaneously, and when the output voltage decreases instantaneously, the FB voltage increases instantaneously.

[0085] When the Vout voltage suddenly decreases by a large amount, the FB voltage after the resistor voltage division of the sampling will have a very high overshoot voltage, and the FB voltage far exceedsFigure 1b Vref1 in it. When judging the enabling signal for the lower transistor to discharge, Vref_A is used as the comparison point. When the voltage value of FB exceeds Vref_A, after being compared by the comparator COMP_A1, a low level of VA is output. After a delay of the first preset time (1.4 us) and being inverted, the enabling signal EN_A for the lower transistor to discharge is obtained. At this time, EN_A is at a high level. The 1.4 us delay ensures the enabling signal EN_A for the lower transistor to discharge caused by the mis-triggering of FB.

[0086] When the Vout voltage suddenly increases a lot, there will be a very low overshoot voltage for the FB voltage after the sampling resistor voltage division. The FB voltage is much lower than Figure 1b Vref1 in it. When judging the enabling signal for the upper transistor to charge, Vref_B is used as the comparison point. When the voltage value of FB is lower than Vref_B, after being compared by the comparator COMP_B1, a low level of VB is output. After a delay of the second preset time (1 us) and being inverted, the enabling signal EN_B for the upper transistor to charge is obtained. At this time, EN_B is at a high level. The 1 us delay ensures the enabling signal EN_B for the upper transistor to charge caused by the mis-triggering of FB.

[0087] The charge / discharge enabling signal generation module 102 includes: comparators COMP_A1 and COMP_B1. The non-inverting input terminal of the comparator COMP_A1 is connected to Vref_A, the inverting input terminal is connected to FB. The non-inverting input terminal of the comparator COMP_B1 is connected to FB, and the inverting input terminal is connected to Vref_B. The output terminal of the comparator COMP_A1 passes through a delay element and a NOT gate to obtain the enabling signal EN_A for triggering the lower transistor. The output terminal of the comparator COMP_B1 passes through a delay element and a NOT gate to obtain the enabling signal EN_B for the upper transistor.

[0097] In Figure 3When the lower transistor discharge enable signal EN_A is at a high level, the NMOS transistor M4 conducts, generating a mirror current source I = VDD / R. Through the mirroring of current mirrors M1 and M2, the current in M2 is I = VDD / R. Under the control of the lower transistor discharge control signal X70_YA signal, the lower transistor discharge signal ontime_A is controlled. When ontime_A is at a high level, the lower transistor starts to discharge; when X70_YA is at a high level, Vtime_A is cleared, and at this time ontime_A is at a low level, turning off the lower transistor discharge. The falling edge of X70_YA triggers Vtime_A to start timing and charging. When the voltage of vtime_A exceeds k*Vout, it triggers the rising edge of ontime_A, and the charging time T_A2 = C_A*k*Vout / I. The high-level time of ontime_A is the lower transistor discharge time. The rising edge of ontime_A, after delaying the lower transistor discharge time, triggers the rising edge of X70_YA. The timing diagram of the lower transistor discharge is as Figure 4 shown. The low-level time of X70_YA is T_A1, and the lower transistor discharge time is T_A3 = T_A1 - T_A2.

Through the mirroring of current mirrors M1 and M3, the current in M3 is I = VDD / R. Under the control of the upper transistor charge control signal X70_YB signal, the upper transistor charge signal ontime_B is controlled. When ontime_B is at a low level, the upper transistor starts to charge; when X70_YB is at a high level, Vtime_B is cleared, and at this time ontime_B is at a high level, turning off the upper transistor charge. The falling edge of X70_YB triggers Vtime_B to start timing and charging. When the voltage of Vtime_B exceeds k*Vout, it triggers the falling edge of ontime_B, and the charging time T_B2 = C_B*k*Vout / I. The low-level time of ontime_B is the upper transistor charge time. The falling edge of ontime_B, after delaying the upper transistor charge time, triggers the rising edge of X70_YB. The timing diagram of the upper transistor charge is as Figure 5 shown. The low-level time of X70_YB is T_B1, and the upper transistor charge time is T_B3 = T_B1 - T_B2. The value of k is a parameter used to dynamically collect the output voltage change. The maximum charging and discharging currents can be controlled by adjusting the value of k. When the charging and discharging currents are too large, the value of k is reduced. k is a value greater than 0.2 and less than 0.8, preferably 0.6.

[0105] The embodiments of this specification provide a dynamic voltage adjustment method and circuit. The Buck module is used to step down the input voltage to the output voltage and generate a sampling voltage based on the output voltage. The charge and discharge enable signal generation module is used to compare the sampling voltage with a first threshold voltage to generate a discharge enable signal, and compare the sampling voltage with a second threshold voltage to generate a charge enable signal. The charge and discharge signal generation module is used to generate start signals for charging the upper transistor and discharging the lower transistor under the action of the charge and discharge control signal generation module. When the output voltage decreases by a first target value within a first period of time, a high-level lower transistor discharge signal is generated. When the output voltage increases by a second target value within a second period of time, a low-level upper transistor charge signal is generated. The charge and discharge control signal generation module is used to generate control signals for controlling the upper transistor charge control signal and the lower transistor discharge control signal to control the target current of charging and discharging. It is realized that when the output voltage of the Buck module changes instantaneously, a fast dynamic response can be ensured and a stable output can be finally achieved.

[0106] Furthermore, the embodiments of this specification set two threshold voltages. When the output voltage changes greatly, the sampled voltage value of FB is compared with the threshold voltages respectively, and finally the corresponding upper transistor charge enable signal and lower transistor discharge enable signal are generated. When the output voltage decreases greatly, the lower transistor discharge enable signal EN_A is generated. When the output voltage increases greatly, the upper transistor charge enable signal EN_B is generated. The charging of the upper transistor and the discharging of the lower transistor are controlled by the enable signals.

[0107] The embodiments of this specification generate start signals for controlling the charging of the upper transistor and the discharging of the lower transistor through the charge / discharge signal generation module 104. When the output voltage instantaneously decreases greatly, a high-level lower transistor discharge signal ontime_A is generated to discharge the lower transistor to increase the output voltage. When the output voltage instantaneously increases greatly, a low-level upper transistor charge signal ontime_B is generated to turn on the upper transistor to lower the output voltage. Through the start signals for charging the upper transistor and discharging the lower transistor generated by the charge / discharge signal generation module 104, the on-time of the upper transistor and the lower transistor can be adjusted in a timely manner when the output voltage changes instantaneously, so that the output voltage is stable.

[0108] The embodiments of this specification generate a lower transistor discharge control signal X70_YA through the charge / discharge control signal generation module 103 when the output voltage instantaneously decreases greatly, and generate an upper transistor charge control signal X70_YB when the output voltage instantaneously increases greatly. The charge / discharge control signal limits the maximum current of charging the upper transistor and discharging the lower transistor to ensure the safe operation of the upper / lower transistors.

[0109] In the embodiments of this specification, the charging time of the upper transistor and the discharging time of the lower transistor can be adjusted arbitrarily according to system requirements. By changing the delay time through a delay device, on the basis of ensuring system stability, the output voltage can be quickly stabilized.

[0110] It should be noted that for a dynamic voltage adjustment circuit 100 of the present disclosure, the output waveform of the dynamic voltage adjustment that can be achieved is as follows Figure 7 shown. In the figure, the horizontal axis represents time, and the vertical axis from top to bottom represents the voltage waveforms of the MIPI interface, FB, EN_A, X70_YA, ontime_A, EN_B, X70_YB, and ontime_B respectively. When the output voltage controlled by MIPI drops significantly instantaneously, the voltage value of FB will exceed Vref_A, thereby triggering the lower transistor discharge enable signal EN_A to be at a high level. When the lower transistor discharge enable signal is at a high level, the final output lower transistor discharge signal ontime_A is controlled by the lower transistor discharge control signal X70_YA. When ontime_A is at a high level, the lower transistor MN is triggered to discharge; when the output voltage controlled by MIPI rises significantly instantaneously, the voltage value of FB will be lower than Vref_B, thereby triggering the upper transistor charge enable signal EN_B to be at a high level. When the upper transistor charge enable signal EN_B is at a high level, the final output upper transistor charge signal ontime_B is controlled by the upper transistor charge control signal X70_YB. When ontime_B is at a low level, the upper transistor MP is triggered to charge. The time of the lower transistor discharge and the time of the upper transistor charge can be adjusted arbitrarily according to requirements, so as to quickly and stably stabilize the final output voltage on the basis of meeting the system stability and improve the efficiency of the system.
