[0039] Example 1

[0040] Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 7 , a schematic diagram of a multi-stage power chip power supply sequence control system provided in this embodiment, comprising: a plurality of power supply circuits, the input ends of the plurality of power supply circuits are all connected to an external power supply, and the output ends of the plurality of power supply circuits are used to output different power supply voltages to the chip in sequence;

[0041] A switching element is provided on the subsequent power supply circuit, and the output end of the previous power supply circuit is also connected to the switching element of the subsequent power supply circuit. The previous power supply circuit outputs a voltage to the subsequent power supply circuit to control the conduction of the switching element; when the switching element is in the on state, the subsequent power supply circuit outputs a supply voltage to the chip.

[0042] Working principle: The present application includes several power supply circuits, the input ends of multiple power supply circuits are all connected to an external power supply, and the output ends of multiple power supply circuits are used to output different power supply voltages to the chip in sequence; at the same time, the output end of the previous power supply circuit is also connected to the switching element on the next power supply circuit. When the previous power supply circuit outputs the corresponding power supply voltage to the chip, the previous power supply circuit also outputs the power supply voltage to the switching element of the next power supply circuit. At this time, the switching element is in a conducting state, thereby enabling the next power supply circuit to output the corresponding power supply voltage to the chip until the last power supply circuit outputs the corresponding power supply voltage to the chip; through the above structure, the present application adopts a step-by-step driving method when the external power supply is powered on with one button, strictly ensuring the power supply sequence of each circuit, ensuring the stability and reliability of the chip's working performance, and at the same time, there is no need to control the external power supply to supply power to the chip one by one, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0043] In some embodiments, a boost circuit is further provided between the previous power supply circuit and the next power supply circuit, and the boost circuit is used to boost the supply voltage of the previous power supply circuit to a control voltage, and the control voltage is used to drive the switch element to conduct.

[0044] Specifically, since the voltage applied to the switching element needs to exceed the threshold voltage in order to turn on the switching element, when the supply voltage of the previous power supply circuit reaches the voltage of the switching element on the next power supply circuit after resistor division, and is lower than the threshold voltage of the switching element on the next power supply circuit, the switching element cannot be controlled to turn on. Therefore, in the present application, when the supply voltage of the previous power supply circuit reaches the voltage of the switching element on the next power supply circuit after resistor division and is lower than the threshold voltage of the switching element on the next power supply circuit, a boost circuit is provided between the previous power supply circuit and the next power supply circuit, and the boost circuit boosts the supply voltage of the previous power supply circuit to a control voltage. At this time, the voltage of the control voltage reaching the switching element on the next power supply circuit after resistor division is higher than the threshold voltage of the switching element on the next power supply circuit, and the switching element can be controlled to turn on, thereby causing the next power supply circuit to output the supply voltage to the chip.

[0045] In some embodiments, the power supply circuit is a four-stage power supply, which includes: a first power supply circuit 1, a second power supply circuit 2, a third power supply circuit 3, and a fourth power supply circuit 4; the boost circuit includes: a first boost circuit and a second boost circuit, the input ends of the first power supply circuit 1, the second power supply circuit 2, the third power supply circuit 3, and the fourth power supply circuit 4 are all connected to an external power supply, the output end of the first power supply circuit 1 outputs a first power supply voltage, the output end of the second power supply circuit 2 outputs a second power supply voltage, the output end of the third power supply circuit 3 outputs a third power supply voltage, and the output end of the fourth power supply circuit 4 outputs a fourth power supply voltage;

[0046] The output end of the first power supply circuit 1 is connected to the first boost circuit, and the output end of the first boost circuit is connected to the second power supply circuit 2; the output end of the second power supply circuit 2 is connected to the third power supply circuit 3, the output end of the third power supply circuit 3 is connected to the second boost circuit, and the output end of the boost circuit is connected to the fourth power supply circuit 4;

[0047] When the external power supply is powered on, the first power supply circuit 1, the second power supply circuit 2, the third power supply circuit 3 and the fourth power supply circuit 4 are connected in sequence, and the first power supply voltage, the second power supply voltage, the third power supply voltage and the fourth power supply voltage are sequentially output to the chip.

[0048] Specifically, in this SOC chip, there are four different voltages, namely, core power, analog power, IO power, and DDR controller power, and their voltages are 0.9V, 1.8V, 3.3V, and 1.5V respectively; the power supply sequence is 0.9V, 1.8V, 3.3V, and 1.5V; therefore, in this embodiment, the power supply circuit is a four-level power supply, namely, a first power supply circuit 1, a second power supply circuit 2, a third power supply circuit 3, and a fourth power supply circuit 4; wherein, the first power supply voltage is 0.9V, the second power supply voltage is 1.8V, the third power supply voltage is 3.3V, and the fourth power supply voltage is 1.5V;

[0049] like Figure 1-Figure 6 As shown, this embodiment adopts a step-by-step driving method for power supply, that is, when the external power supply is powered on, there is no control switch on the first power supply circuit 1, so that the first power supply voltage is directly output to the chip; when the first power supply voltage is normally supplied, the switch chip on the second power supply circuit 2 is driven to be turned on, so that the second power supply voltage is output to the chip; when the second power supply voltage is normally supplied, the switch chip on the third power supply circuit 3 is driven to be turned on, so that the third power supply voltage is output to the chip; when the third power supply voltage is normally supplied, the switch chip on the fourth power supply circuit 4 is driven to be turned on, so that the fourth power supply voltage is output to the chip;

[0050] In this embodiment, if Figure 2 As shown, the first power supply circuit 1 includes a first wiring terminal XP1, a second wiring terminal XP2, a first transient voltage suppressor D1, a first fuse F1, a first magnetic bead FB1, a second magnetic bead FB2 and five first capacitors C1, the input end of the first wiring terminal XP1 is connected to the positive electrode of the external power supply, the input end of the second wiring terminal XP2 is connected to the negative electrode of the external power supply, and the first transient voltage suppressor D1 is connected between the output end of the first wiring terminal XP1 and the output end of the second wiring terminal XP2; the output end of the first wiring terminal XP1 is connected in series with the first fuse F1 and the first magnetic bead FB1, and outputs the first supply voltage; the output end of the second wiring terminal XP2 is connected to the second magnetic bead FB2, and the other end of the second magnetic bead FB2 is grounded; the other end of the first magnetic bead FB1 and the other end of the second magnetic bead FB2 are connected in parallel with five first capacitors C1;

[0054] Specifically, in this embodiment, since the threshold voltage of the selected first switch element Q1 is 1.6V, the voltage of the first power supply voltage reaching the first switch element Q1 after resistor voltage division cannot drive the first switch element Q1 to turn on, so a first boost circuit is provided between the first power supply circuit 1 and the second power supply circuit 2 to boost the first power supply voltage to a control voltage. In this embodiment, the control voltage is 3.9V, and the voltage of the control voltage reaching the first switch element Q1 after resistor voltage division is 1.6V, which can control the first switch element Q1 to turn on, thereby causing the second power supply circuit 2 to output a second power supply voltage of 1.8V to the chip;

[0059] Specifically, the second switch element Q2 is a P-channel enhancement type field effect transistor; when the voltage applied to the gate exceeds the threshold voltage, the current can flow from the external power supply through the source to the drain, and then flow to the chip to power the chip;

[0060] Specifically, in this embodiment, since the voltage of the second power supply voltage of 1.8V reaching the second switch element Q2 after resistor voltage division can drive the second switch element Q2 to turn on, the output end of the second power supply circuit 2 is directly connected to the input end of the second switch element Q2;
