Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of DAC output stage control, and in particular to a boost converter and method suitable for powering a DAC output stage. Background Art

[0002] Figure 1 It is a commonly used current-type digital-to-analog converter (DAC) output stage circuit. V1 is the power supply of the circuit, usually an external constant voltage source. OUT is the load current, that is, the output current of the circuit, and the value of this signal is controlled by DAC. OUT is the load resistance, i.e. the equivalent resistance at the load end, and the resistance value is usually 0~1kOhm. To stably output 20mA under all load resistance conditions, the voltage value of V1 needs to be greater than 1kOhm*20mA plus the voltage margin to ensure the normal operation of the output PMOS tube M1 (usually the voltage of V1 will be around 24V). At this time, the voltage across the source and drain of the output PMOS tube M1 and the output load resistance R OUT If driving a small resistance load, such as R OUT ~=0Ohm, the voltage drop on the output PMOS tube M1 will be approximately equal to the voltage value of V1, that is, 24V, and the power consumption of the entire output PMOS tube M1 is about 20mA*24V=480mW, which has a large power loss. Therefore, a circuit structure that can reduce the power consumption of the output PMOS tube M1 is expected.

The converter sequentially converts the source-drain voltage of an output PMOS tube into a ground-based voltage signal and converts the ground-based voltage signal into the output voltage of the boost converter through a control loop, thereby dynamically adjusting and reducing the power consumption of the output PMOS tube.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the first aspect of the present invention provides a boost converter suitable for powering a DAC output stage, wherein the DAC output stage comprises an output PMOS tube and a load resistor, wherein the source of the output PMOS tube is electrically connected to the output voltage of the boost converter, the drain is electrically connected to one end of the load resistor, and the other end of the load resistor is electrically connected to the ground, comprising:

[0006] A high-side voltage sampling circuit, the input of which is electrically connected to the drain of the output PMOS tube, and is used to convert the source-drain voltage of the output PMOS tube into a ground-based voltage signal;

[0007] A boost circuit, the input of which is electrically connected to the output of the high-side voltage sampling circuit, is used to convert the ground-based voltage signal into the output voltage of the boost converter.

[0008] A second aspect of the present invention provides a boost conversion method for powering a DAC output stage in the above-mentioned boost converter, comprising:

[0009] Convert the source-drain voltage of the output PMOS tube into a ground-based voltage signal;

[0010] A ground-based voltage signal is converted to the boost converter output voltage.

[0011] The beneficial effects of the present invention include:

[0012] (1) The boost converter for powering the DAC output stage proposed in the present invention converts the source-drain voltage of the output PMOS tube into a ground-based voltage signal and converts the ground-based voltage signal into the output voltage of the boost converter in sequence through a control loop, thereby dynamically adjusting and reducing the power consumption of the output PMOS tube.

[0013] (2) The boost converter suitable for powering the output stage of a DAC proposed in the present invention converts the source-drain voltage of the output PMOS tube into a ground-based voltage signal through a high-side voltage sampling circuit, converts the difference between the ground-based voltage signal and a fixed potential into a voltage control signal, and simultaneously compares the voltage control signal with the output signal of the current detection circuit for ramp compensation through a comparator to control the duty cycle of the NMOS tube. Finally, the voltage value of the output voltage of the boost converter is adjusted by the duty cycle, so that the voltage across the output PMOS tube has nothing to do with the load resistance and the output current, thereby reducing the power consumption of the output stage of the digital-to-analog converter.
