Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of control technology and related technical fields, and in particular to a surge suppression circuit and a network device. Background Art

[0002] Network equipment usually includes multiple subsystem devices, each of which includes a control mainboard. Since the control mainboard consumes a lot of power, each control mainboard is equipped with an energy storage capacitor. When the control mainboard is just powered on, the capacitor is equivalent to a short circuit, which will generate a huge surge impact on the power chip of the control mainboard, causing the power chip of the control mainboard to be protected or even damaged. In order to prevent the huge surge current during the startup process of the network equipment from causing the whole machine to be powered off, when the control mainboard corresponding to each subsystem device is powered on, the startup surge current of the control mainboard of each subsystem is different, exceeding 2 to 2.5 times the normal working current of the network equipment.

[0003] In the prior art, a resistor and capacitor slow-start circuit is designed between the gate and source of the input transistor. When the network device starts, the gate voltage change curve of the transistor is adjusted by adjusting the values ​​of the resistor and capacitor, thereby increasing the time it takes for the input transistor to be fully turned on, thereby achieving surge suppression.

[0039] Based on the problems existing in the prior art, the present disclosure provides a surge suppression circuit. Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a surge suppression circuit provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the circuit structure of the surge suppression circuit provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2 The surge suppression circuit includes: an input transistor M, a capacitor C, a first voltage signal generating module 10, a second voltage signal generating module 20, a first control signal generating module 30 and a second control signal generating module 40, wherein the input transistor M and the capacitor C are connected in series between the input voltage node Vin and the chip power supply U; the first voltage signal generating module 10 is configured to generate a first voltage at the control end of the input transistor M according to the input voltage of the input voltage node Vin when receiving the first control signal output by the first control signal generating module 30, so that the input transistor M charges the capacitor C with a first charging current, and the first charging current is less than the surge current; the second voltage signal generating module 20, It is configured to generate a second voltage at the control end of the input transistor M when receiving the first control signal output by the first control signal generating module 30 and the second control signal output by the second control signal generating module 40, so that the input transistor M charges the capacitor C with a second charging current, and the second charging current is greater than the first charging current; the first control signal generating module 30 is configured to output the first control signal to the first voltage signal generating module 10 and the second voltage signal generating module 20 when receiving the power-on indication signal; the second control signal generating module 40 is configured to output the second control signal to the second voltage signal generating module 20 when the voltage at the first end of the capacitor C meets the preset threshold voltage.

[0040] Specifically, the input transistor is a PMOS tube, the first end of the input transistor M is electrically connected to the input voltage node Vin, the second end of the input transistor M is electrically connected to the first end of the capacitor C, and the second end of the capacitor is electrically connected to the chip power supply U.

[0041] According to the characteristics of the PMOS tube, the larger the gate-source voltage of the input transistor, the larger the on-current of the input transistor, and the smaller the gate-source voltage of the input transistor, the smaller the on-current of the input transistor. Therefore, in the surge suppression circuit provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the surge suppression circuit includes a first voltage signal generating module 10, a second voltage signal generating module 20, a first control signal generating module 30, and a second control signal generating module 40. After receiving the power-on indication signal, the first control signal generating module 30 outputs the first control signal to the first voltage signal generating module 10 and the second voltage signal generating module 20 respectively. After receiving the first control signal output by the first control signal generating module, the first voltage signal generating module 10 is turned on. Since the second control signal generating module does not receive the enable signal, the second control signal generating module 40 is turned on. The generating module 40 does not output the second control signal, and the second voltage signal generating module 20 is in the off state, that is, the control end of the input transistor M receives the first voltage output by the first voltage signal generating module 10, and the input transistor M is in the on state. Since the on-current of the input transistor M is related to the gate-source voltage of the input transistor M, by setting the voltage division of the first voltage signal generating module, when the first voltage signal generating module 10 outputs the first voltage, the on-current of the input transistor M is less than the surge current. At this time, the on-current of the input transistor M is the first charging current, which avoids the network device from being powered on due to a huge surge current and causing the network device to be powered off for protection. As the capacitor C is charged, the voltage at the first end of the capacitor C gradually increases. When the voltage at the first end of the capacitor C meets the preset threshold voltage, the second control signal generating module 40 outputs a second control signal to the second voltage signal generating module 20. At this time, the second voltage signal generating module 20 is turned on under the action of the first control signal and the second control signal, and the control end of the input transistor M is directly electrically connected to the ground node, that is, the second voltage applied by the second voltage signal generating module 20 to the control end of the input transistor M is 0. Since the second voltage output by the second voltage signal generating module 20 is less than the first voltage output by the first voltage signal generating module, the on-current of the input transistor M increases. At this time, the on-current of the input transistor M is the second charging current, which improves the charging rate of the capacitor.

[0042] The surge suppression circuit provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure includes a first voltage signal generating module, a second voltage signal generating module, a first control signal generating module and a second control signal generating module. In the power-on stage of the network device, the first voltage signal generating module is turned on, the second voltage signal generating module is in an off state, the control end of the input transistor receives the first voltage output by the first voltage signal generating module, and the input transistor is in an on state. Since the on-current of the input transistor is related to the gate-source voltage of the input transistor, therefore, through the voltage division of the first voltage signal generating module, when the first voltage signal generating module outputs the first voltage, the on-current of the input transistor is less than the surge current, that is, the first charging current is less than the surge current, thereby avoiding the huge surge current causing the network device to be powered off for protection when the network device is in the power-on state. Due to the charging of the capacitor during the power-on process, the voltage at the first end of the capacitor gradually increases. When the power-on is completed, the surge current between the input transistor and the capacitor gradually disappears. At this time, the second control signal generating module outputs a second control signal to the second voltage generating module based on the relationship between the voltage at the first end of the capacitor and the preset threshold voltage. The second voltage signal generating module outputs a second voltage to the control end of the input transistor, that is, the control end of the input transistor is directly electrically connected to the ground node. Since the second voltage output by the second voltage signal generating module is less than the first voltage output by the first voltage signal generating module, the on-current (second charging current) of the input transistor increases, thereby improving the charging rate of the capacitor.

[0043] In a specific embodiment, in combination with Figure 2 The first voltage signal generating module 10 includes a first switch unit 11 and a first resistor unit 12; the first switch unit 11 is configured to be turned on when receiving a first control signal; the first resistor unit 12 is configured to generate a first voltage at the control end of the input transistor M according to the input voltage.

[0044] Among them, the first switch unit 11 includes a first transistor M1, the first resistor unit 12 includes a first resistor R1 and a second resistor R2, the control end of the first transistor R1 is electrically connected to the first control signal generating module 30, the first end of the first transistor M1 is electrically connected to the first end of the second resistor R2, the second end of the first transistor M1 is electrically connected to the ground node, the second end of the second resistor R2 is electrically connected to the control end of the input transistor M and the first end of the first resistor R1 respectively, and the second end of the first resistor R1 is electrically connected to the input voltage node Vin.

[0045] Specifically, the first control signal generating module 30 includes a single chip microcomputer. When the single chip microcomputer receives a power-on indication signal (i.e., a start signal) of the network device triggered by a user, the single chip microcomputer outputs a first control signal to the first voltage signal generating module 10 and the second voltage signal generating module 20. Since the second control signal generating module 40 is electrically connected to the first end of the capacitor C, the voltage at the first end of the capacitor C is zero in the initial stage of powering on the network device. Therefore, the second control signal generating module 40 does not output the second control signal. When the second control signal generating module 40 does not output the second control signal, the second voltage signal generating module 20 is in an off state, the second voltage signal generating module 20 does not output the second voltage, and the control end of the input transistor M receives the first voltage output by the first voltage signal generating module 10.

[0046] At this time, the first switch unit 11 in the first voltage signal generating module 10 receives the first control signal, and the first switch unit 11 is turned on, so that the first resistance unit 12 is connected in series between the input voltage node Vin and the ground node, and the first voltage acting on the control terminal of the input transistor is determined according to the resistance value of the resistor included in the first resistance unit 12.

[0047] Exemplarily, the first switch unit 11 includes a first transistor M1, which is an NMOS tube. The first resistor unit 12 includes a first resistor R1 and a second resistor E2. When the first control signal generating module 30 receives a power-on indication signal of a network device triggered by a user, the first control signal output by the first control signal generating module 30 is at a high level, and the first transistor M1 is turned on. At this time, the first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2 are connected in series between the input voltage node Vin and the ground node. Since the control end of the input transistor M is electrically connected to the second end of the second resistor R2, the first voltage applied by the first voltage signal generating module 10 to the control end of the input transistor M satisfies: When the input voltage of the input node Vin is a fixed value, in the initial stage of power-on, the drain voltage of the input transistor is zero, and the absolute value of the source-drain voltage of the input transistor M is the input voltage of the input voltage node (which is a fixed value). Combined with the characteristics of the transistor, the on-current of the input transistor is related to the gate-source voltage of the input transistor, and corresponding to different source-drain voltage values, the on-current of the input transistor working in the non-saturation region is variable, and the on-current of the input transistor working in the saturation region is fixed. Therefore, by adjusting the resistance value of the first resistor R1 and the resistance value of the second resistor R2, the first voltage acting on the control terminal of the input transistor M can be changed, and then the gate-source voltage of the input transistor M can be changed, so that the input transistor M is in the startup stage, the input transistor works in the saturation region, and the on-current of the input transistor is less than the surge current, that is, the first charging current is less than the surge current.

[0048] It should be noted that the surge current is determined based on the operating current of the network device. Generally, the surge current is 2-2.5 times the operating current of the network device.

[0049] In a specific embodiment, in combination with Figure 2 The second voltage signal generating module 20 includes a control unit 21 and a second switch unit 22; the control unit 21 is configured to output a target control signal to the second switch unit 22 according to the first control signal and the second control signal; the second switch unit 22 is configured to be turned on when the target control signal is at a high level, and generate a second voltage at the control end of the input transistor M.

[0050] Among them, the control unit 21 includes an AND gate, the second switch unit 22 includes a second transistor M2, the first input end of the AND gate is electrically connected to the first control signal generating module 30, the second input end of the AND gate is electrically connected to the second control signal generating module 40, the output end of the AND gate is electrically connected to the control end of the second transistor M2, the first end of the second transistor M2 is electrically connected to the ground node, and the second end of the second transistor M2 is electrically connected to the control end of the input transistor M.

[0051] Specifically, the first control signal generating module 30 includes a single chip microcomputer. When the single chip microcomputer receives a power-on indication signal (i.e., a start signal) of a network device triggered by a user, the single chip microcomputer outputs a first control signal to the first voltage signal generating module 10 and the second voltage signal generating module 20. The second control signal generating module 40 is electrically connected to the first end of the capacitor C. In the initial stage of power-on, the voltage at the first end of the capacitor C is zero, and the input transistor M charges the capacitor C with a first input current. As the power-on time increases, the surge impact generated by power-on will decrease, and the voltage at the first end of the capacitor C will increase. When the voltage at the first end of the capacitor C increases to a voltage greater than a preset threshold voltage, the second control signal generating module 40 outputs a second control signal. At this time, the control unit 21 of the second voltage signal generating module 20 receives the first control signal and the second control signal, and the control unit 21 outputs a target control signal, and the second switch unit 22 is turned on, that is, the second switch unit 22 electrically connects the control end of the input transistor M to the ground node through the second switch unit 21, that is, the second voltage is zero.

[0052] Exemplarily, the control unit includes an AND gate, the second switch unit includes a second transistor, the second transistor is an NMOS tube, when the first control signal generating module 30 receives the power-on indication signal of the network device triggered by the user, the first control signal generating module 30 outputs a high level of the first control signal, when the voltage at the first terminal of the capacitor C increases to be greater than the preset threshold voltage, the second control signal output by the second control signal generating module 40 is a high level, the AND gate outputs a high level, the second transistor M2 is turned on, at this time, the control terminal of the input transistor M is connected to the ground node through the second transistor M2, therefore, the second voltage applied by the second voltage signal generating module 20 to the control terminal of the input transistor M is zero. Therefore, when the voltage at the first terminal of the capacitor C is greater than the preset threshold voltage, by adjusting the control terminal of the input transistor M from the first voltage to the second voltage, the second voltage is less than the first voltage, the gate-source voltage of the input transistor is increased, and then the on-current of the input transistor is increased, that is, the on-current of the input transistor is the second charging current, the second charging current is greater than the first charging current, so as to improve the charging efficiency of the circuit to the capacitor after the power-on surge impact is reduced.

[0053] In a specific embodiment, in combination with Figure 2 The second control signal generating module 40 includes a second resistance unit 41 and a trigger unit 42; the second resistance unit 41 is configured to output a third voltage to the trigger unit 42 according to the first terminal voltage of the capacitor; the trigger unit 42 is configured to output a second control signal to the second voltage signal generating module 20 when the third voltage meets a preset threshold voltage.

[0054] Among them, the second resistance unit 41 includes a third resistor R3 and a fourth resistor R4, the trigger unit 42 includes a Schmitt trigger, the first end of the third resistor R1 is electrically connected to the first end of the capacitor C, the second end of the third resistor R3 is electrically connected to the input end of the Schmitt trigger and the first end of the fourth resistor R4 respectively, the second end of the fourth resistor R4 is electrically connected to the ground node, and the output end of the Schmitt trigger is electrically connected to the second control signal generating module 20.

[0055] Specifically, the second control signal generating module 40 includes a second resistor unit 41 and a trigger unit 42. In the initial stage of power-on, the voltage at the first end of the capacitor is zero, and the divided voltage of the third resistor R3 and the fourth resistor R4 included in the second resistor unit 41 is zero. As the power-on time increases, the surge impact generated by power-on will decrease, and the voltage at the first end of the capacitor C will increase. When the voltage at the first end of the capacitor C increases to be greater than the preset threshold voltage, the divided voltage of the third resistor R3 and the fourth resistor R4 included in the second resistor unit 41 is related to the voltage at the first end of the capacitor C. Therefore, by setting the resistance values ​​of the third resistor R3 and the fourth resistor R4, when the voltage at the first end of the capacitor C meets the preset threshold voltage, the third voltage output by the second resistor unit 41 to the trigger unit 42 can trigger the trigger unit 42 to output the second control signal.

[0056] It should be noted that the value of the preset threshold voltage is related to the resistance values ​​of the third resistor and the fourth resistor included in the second resistor unit, and is also related to the curve of the surge current.

[0057] Exemplarily, when the third resistor R3 is set to 5.1KΩ and the fourth resistor R4 is set to 1.1KΩ, when the voltage at the first end of the capacitor is about 9V, the surge current tends to be flat, the Schmidt NOT gate is just at the trigger threshold of about 1.6V, the second transistor is turned on, the absolute value of the gate-source voltage of the input transistor is the maximum value, the input transistor is fully turned on, and the on-current of the input transistor is the maximum, that is, the second charging current is the maximum.

[0058] In the surge suppression circuit provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, since the index parameters of the input transistor are known, the resistance values ​​of the first resistor and the second resistor can be adjusted according to the index parameters of the input transistor and the input voltage of the input voltage node, and then the voltage division value of the first resistor and the second resistor can be adjusted to ensure that the absolute value of the on-current of the input transistor during power-on is less than the surge current value required by the design index. And according to the index parameters of the input transistor, the resistance values ​​of the third resistor and the fourth resistor are adjusted, and then the voltage division value of the third resistor and the fourth resistor is adjusted. When the absolute value of the source-drain voltage of the input transistor is less than a certain value, the Schmidt NOT gate is triggered to maximize the absolute value of the gate-source voltage of the input transistor, and the input transistor is fully turned on, thereby increasing the charging rate of the capacitor.

[0059] On the basis of the above embodiments, the embodiments of the present disclosure further provide a network device, including the surge suppression circuit described in any one of the above embodiments, and having the beneficial effects described in any one of the above embodiments, which will not be specifically described in the embodiments of the present disclosure.
