Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of power supply chips, and in particular to a clock generating circuit suitable for a step-down direct current voltage regulator. Background Art

[0002] There are many types of DC-DC power management chips, which can usually be divided into two categories: linear regulated power supplies and switching power supplies. Linear regulated power supplies are also called series regulators. Linear regulated power supplies can be regarded as a transistor connected in series between its input and output terminals. When the transistor is working normally, it can be regarded as a variable resistor, which adjusts the voltage difference between the input and output to achieve a stable voltage output. Linear regulated power supplies are cheap, simple in structure, "clean" in output, and produce little or no electronic noise. The advantages of linear regulated power supplies also include fast response speed, small output ripple and low noise level, which makes them very suitable for analog circuits and sensitive electronic equipment. The disadvantage of linear regulated power supplies is that they can only be used to step down and have low efficiency, especially when the voltage difference between the input voltage and the output voltage is relatively large. The efficiency is generally only 30%~60%, and the excess energy will fall on the conduction transistor, causing heating problems and causing disturbing problems to the system.

[0003] The switching power supply outputs a stable voltage by controlling the periodic conduction of the power switch tube. It converts direct current into high-frequency pulse current, and then stores and releases energy through components such as inductors and capacitors to generate the required output voltage. The switching power supply can achieve functions such as boost, buck, and voltage reversal. Compared with linear regulated power supplies, switching power supplies have the following advantages:

[0004] 1. High conversion efficiency: Switching power supplies are known for their high efficiency. Conventional products generally achieve an energy efficiency conversion of more than 80%, while high-performance switching power supplies built with cutting-edge technology have broken through the 90% efficiency mark, significantly reducing energy consumption and promoting the development of energy-saving technologies.

[0005] 2. Strong load capacity: The reason why the switching power supply can efficiently handle high current loads is mainly due to the extremely low on-resistance of its internal power tube, which makes the power loss in the on state negligible. This design advantage enables the switching power supply to maintain low heat loss and high-efficiency energy conversion when facing high current output requirements of several amperes. It is very suitable for electronic equipment and industrial applications that require high power output, while ensuring the stability and reliability of the system.

[0006] 3. Wide voltage regulation range and flexible use; the voltage regulation mechanism of the switching power supply relies on the precise control of the conduction and cutoff of the power tube, and dynamically responds to voltage changes by adjusting the conduction duty cycle. Even when the input voltage fluctuates, the switching power supply can ensure that the output voltage remains constant by adjusting the duty cycle, thereby achieving a high-precision voltage regulation effect. This flexible control strategy not only improves the adaptability of the power supply, but also enhances the reliability and performance stability of electronic equipment.

[0007] Compared with linear regulated power supplies, switching power supplies have disadvantages such as complex structure, large output ripple, and large inductance and capacitance that cannot be integrated. However, due to the advantages of high efficiency and high output power density, switching power supplies have been widely used in consumer electronics, industry, medical and military fields. Therefore, based on the background of my country's determination to vigorously develop the integrated circuit industry, it is of great significance to study high-performance switching power management chips.

[0008] With the increasing application of switching power supplies in many fields, chips with a single voltage output can no longer meet the market's expectations for higher power density. The power management chip required by users must not only provide stable voltage, but also be able to adapt to changing power requirements, achieve multi-channel voltage output and flexible adjustment to meet the increasingly compact and efficient electronic equipment design standards. For a single chip, as the output power continues to increase, its load is getting bigger and bigger. However, simply cascading multiple single-channel chips together not only wastes space and money, but also brings more losses. Therefore, through a chip with multiple outputs, the load power is evenly distributed to each branch, thereby reducing the load on a single branch and greatly improving the system reliability.

[0009] However, there are two challenges for multi-output switching power supplies: high switching frequency and high stability.

[0010] In terms of high switching frequency, power management chips are working towards improving power density and response time. In addition, high power density is conducive to reducing chip area and reducing costs, and fast response helps to realize high-dynamic application scenarios of chips. Since power inductors often occupy the largest area, especially dual-output chips, the best choice to increase power density is usually a higher switching frequency. In addition, a higher switching frequency can also increase the bandwidth upper limit of the control loop and improve the dynamic response speed.

[0011] In general, the current development trend of power management chips is high frequency, high precision, low power consumption, low voltage, etc. Among them, high frequency is an important technical approach to improve power density and improve dynamic response, which requires a high-performance and high-precision oscillator. A high-performance oscillator can generate a clock signal that basically does not change with changes in power supply voltage and temperature.

[0012] Based on these requirements, it is necessary to provide a clock generation circuit suitable for a step-down DC regulator.

[0013] The clock generation circuit is required to have little change with power supply voltage and temperature, good stability, and can generate a stable clock to provide to the on-time generation module of the adaptive constant conduction DC regulator for capacitor charging and discharging, thereby generating a fixed on-time cycle.

[0014] Therefore, a clock generating circuit suitable for a step-down DC regulator is proposed to solve or alleviate the above problems. Summary of the invention

[0015] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the shortcomings of the prior art and to propose a clock generation circuit suitable for a step-down DC regulator. The clock generation circuit is exquisitely designed and can maintain extremely high stability under the condition of power supply voltage fluctuations and ambient temperature changes. It can generate an accurate and constant clock signal to provide the necessary synchronization signal for the adaptive constant conduction DC regulator. This stable clock signal is used in the on-time generation module, which is responsible for controlling the charging and discharging process of the capacitor to ensure that the on-time of the DC regulator remains consistent, thereby achieving a fixed on-cycle.

[0016] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0017] A clock generation circuit suitable for a step-down DC regulator comprises six oscillator sub-unit circuits, each of which has two input terminals and two output terminals, each of which is coupled to the oscillator sub-unit circuits of the previous stage and the next stage, and the six oscillator sub-unit circuits are cascaded to form a ring oscillator system, and the last oscillator sub-unit circuit outputs The square wave shaped by multi-stage inverters is used as the output of the overall oscillator. , is the output voltage of the oscillator subunit circuit, It is the output voltage after shaping by the multi-stage inverter.

[0018] Preferably, the oscillator sub-unit circuit comprises a plurality of capacitors and MOS switch tubes, and the oscillator sub-unit circuit controls the charging and discharging delay of the capacitors by turning off the MOS switch tubes to generate an oscillation period.

[0024] Preferably, the differential operational amplifier circuit is composed of two NMOS input pairs.

[0025] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0026] The clock generation circuit in the present invention can maintain excellent stability even in the fluctuation of power supply voltage and ambient temperature. It generates a constant clock signal, which provides a key synchronization signal for the adaptive constant conduction mechanism of the DC regulator. This stable clock signal further drives the on-time generation module, which regulates the charge and discharge cycle of the capacitor to ensure that the on-time of the DC regulator is accurate and consistent, and achieves periodic stable conduction. This precise clock control is crucial to maintaining the continuity and reliability of power supply output, especially in precision electronic equipment and systems that have extremely high requirements for power supply stability.

For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0042] The working principle is to generate an oscillation cycle by delaying the charge and discharge of the capacitor. Capacitor charging process: After the last oscillator sub-unit circuit of the previous cycle is discharged, the MOS switch tube in parallel with C of the current oscillator sub-unit circuit of the current cycle is turned off, and the capacitor C begins to be charged. Capacitor discharge process: Two parts jointly determine the discharge of the capacitor, one is the effect of the latter stage on the previous stage, and the other is the charging delay of the two capacitors of this stage.

[0043] To put it simply, the output signal of the next stage makes point B a high level, and after the charging delay of the two capacitors in this stage, point A becomes a low level, and thus point C becomes a low level. This charging time directly affects the oscillation period.
