Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of analog integrated circuit design, and in particular to a valley voltage detection and holding circuit and a constant on-time control system. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of Internet of Things applications, the supply of high-performance power chips has increased dramatically. The DC / DC converter based on ripple constant on-time (COT) has the advantages of simple structure and fast load transient response, which is very suitable for today's high-power electronic products. Therefore, it plays an increasingly important role in the electronics industry. When the COT control technology is adopted, subharmonic oscillations will occur due to the small equivalent series resistance ESR on the output capacitor, making the system unstable. In order to solve the above problems, ripple compensation technology can be used to solve them. The Chinese patent application with publication number CN106253671A discloses an internal ripple compensation circuit suitable for COT control. Through the internal ripple compensation circuit, the problem of phase lag caused by output voltage changes in the traditional COT control buck converter when the capacitor ESR is small will be solved. Subharmonic oscillations will be generated. However, when the ripple compensation technology is introduced, the bias voltage is also introduced, resulting in reduced voltage output accuracy. Summary of the invention
[0003] The technical solution of the present invention is used to solve the problem that in a COT control mode output circuit, a ripple compensation technology is introduced to eliminate subharmonic oscillations, but a bias voltage is also introduced at the same time, resulting in reduced voltage output accuracy.
[0004] The present invention solves the above technical problems through the following technical means: The present invention discloses a valley voltage detection and holding circuit, the circuit comprising: Sampling circuit, control circuit, filtering circuit.
[0005] The sampling circuit samples the input power supply and sends the sampling signal to the control circuit.
[0006] The control circuit detects the valley voltage of the sampling signal and controls to maintain the valley voltage.
[0007] The filter circuit filters the high frequency part of the output voltage.
[0008] Furthermore, the sampling circuit includes: reference current sources IBIAS1 and IBIAS2; NMOS tubes MN1, MN2, MN3, and MN4; capacitor C1; resistors R1 and R2; and the connection method is: The power supply voltage VIN is connected to one end of the reference current source IBIAS1 and one end of IBIAS2 respectively; the reference voltage VBIAS1 is connected to the gate of the NMOS tube MN1 and the gate of the NMOS tube MN3; the sampling voltage Vsm is connected to the other end of the reference current source IBIAS1, one end of the resistor R1, the drain of the NMOS tube MN1 and the gate of the PMOS tube MP1 respectively; the input voltage VX is connected to the other end of the resistor R1; the other end of the reference current source IBIAS1 is connected to the drain of the NMOS tube NM1, and the other end of the reference current source IBIAS2 is connected to the drain of the NMOS tube NM3; the source of the NMOS tube MN1 is connected to the drain of the NMOS tube MN2; the source of the NMOS tube MN3 is connected to the drain of the NMOS tube MN4; the other end of R2, the source of the NMOS tube MN2, and the source of the NMOS tube MN4 are all grounded; The common connection point of the capacitor C1 and the resistors R1 and R2 is used as the output end of the sampling circuit to send the sampling signal Vsm to the control circuit.
[0009] Furthermore, the sampling circuit operates in the following manner: Assume K is the width-to-length ratio of NMOS tubes MN4 and MN2, then:

[0018] Furthermore, the control circuit operates in the following manner: When the Vvy voltage is higher than Vsm, the NMOS tube MN12 is turned on, the capacitor C2 is discharged, and the Vvy voltage decreases. When Vvy is lower than Vsm, the PMOS tube MP11 slowly charges the capacitor until it is higher than Vsm.

After passing through the valley voltage detection and holding circuit, a DC signal Vvy_out which is independent of the inductor current is obtained, and Vsm minus Vvy_out obtains a ripple signal with only the inductor current model.
[0029] After the logic operation module, the voltage Vcom is equal to the voltage VFB plus the sampling voltage Vsm, minus the valley voltage Vvy_out; the voltage Vcom is compared with the reference voltage Vref through the comparator module; when the voltage Vcom is smaller than the reference voltage Vref, the power tube M1 is turned on, and the on-time is controlled by the constant on-time controller. When it is turned on, VOUT increases, and VFB increases accordingly. After the constant on-time, the power tube M1 is turned off, the rectifier tube M2 is turned on, and VOUT decreases; after multiple cycles of reciprocating, VOUT finally stabilizes near Vref.
[0030] Since the minimum value of Vcom is equal to the minimum value of VFB, the final value of VOUT is only related to VFB and has no DC error, thereby improving the accuracy of the output voltage.
[0031] The advantages of the present invention are: The present invention optimizes the ripple compensation technology, can eliminate the influence of bias voltage, and improve the accuracy of output voltage. The present invention effectively increases the sampling frequency range by changing the equivalent capacitance, can achieve a wider range of applications, and save integrated circuit area.

[0046] Furthermore, the control circuit operates in the following manner: When the Vvy voltage is higher than Vsm, the NMOS tube MN12 is turned on, the capacitor C2 is discharged, and the Vvy voltage decreases. When Vvy is lower than Vsm, the PMOS tube MP11 slowly charges the capacitor until it is higher than Vsm. In particular, the above process is repeated.
[0047] Furthermore, the filtering circuit filters the high-frequency part of the output voltage.

[0049] Embodiment 2 It should be further explained that, based on the embodiment and an inventive concept, the present invention also provides a constant on-time control system using a valley voltage detection and holding circuit, which is used in a COT control mode output circuit to eliminate output voltage deviation and improve output accuracy. Figure 2 As shown, the system includes the following modules: The COT control module is used to control the constant conduction time of the power switch.
[0050] Buck rectifier module, used for DC / DC step-down conversion.
[0051] The ripple compensation module is used to generate a ripple signal.
[0052] The valley voltage detection and holding circuit module is used to sample the valley voltage of the ripple signal and hold it before filtering and outputting it.
[0053] The feedback voltage module is used for outputting feedback voltage.

The Vsm signal is accompanied by a DC signal which is independent of the inductor current. After passing through the valley voltage detection and holding module, a DC signal Vvy_out which is independent of the inductor current is obtained. In particular, Vsm minus Vvy_out can obtain a ripple signal with only the inductor current model. The valley voltage detection and holding module adopts the circuit structure and operation mode of the above-mentioned embodiment 1. The signal waveform diagram of the above-mentioned VX is shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, the signal waveforms of Vsm and Vvy_out are as follows Figure 4 shown.
[0057] Furthermore, after the logic operation module, the voltage Vcom is equal to the voltage VFB plus the sampling voltage Vsm, minus the valley voltage Vvy_out. The voltage Vcom is compared with the reference voltage Vref through the comparator module. When the voltage Vcom is smaller than the reference voltage Vref, the power tube M1 is turned on, and the on-time is controlled by the constant on-time controller. When it is turned on, VOUT increases, and VFB increases accordingly. After the constant on-time, the power tube M1 is turned off, the rectifier tube M2 is turned on, and VOUT decreases. After multiple cycles of reciprocating, VOUT finally stabilizes near Vref.
[0058] Since the minimum value of Vcom is equal to the minimum value of VFB, the final value of VOUT is only related to VFB and has no DC error, thereby improving the accuracy of the output voltage.
