[0026] In order to facilitate understanding of the present invention, the present application will be described more fully below with reference to the relevant drawings. Embodiments of the present application are provided in the drawings. However, the present application can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, the purpose of providing these embodiments is to make the disclosure of the present application more thorough and comprehensive.

[0027] Combination Figure 1 The principle of the present invention is to generate a positive temperature coefficient current I generated by a bandgap reference circuit inside a boost DC-DC circuit. PTAT Monitor to achieve over-temperature protection, and then detect the internal output voltage of the boost DC-DC circuit to achieve over-voltage protection.

[0028] The design process is as follows: First, a positive temperature coefficient current I is generated by the internal bandgap reference circuit of the boost DC-DC circuit. PTAT , through the positive temperature coefficient voltage VPTAT Generating circuit, generating positive temperature coefficient voltage V PTAT , the positive temperature coefficient voltage will gradually increase as the temperature rises; then, the bandgap reference circuit outputs the voltage V out2 , and then the reference voltage V is generated by the resistor voltage divider circuit ref1 and V ref2 ; Finally, the positive temperature coefficient voltage V PTAT With V ref1 Through the comparator, when V PTAT Exceed V ref1 When the power is turned off, the over-temperature protection is realized, and the output voltage V out With V ref2 Through the comparator, when V out Exceed V ref2 When the voltage is too high, the power supply is turned off to achieve overvoltage protection.

[0029] Combination Figure 2 Analyze the principle of the bandgap reference circuit unit:

[0030] After the circuit is powered on, the circuit is prone to degeneracy point problems, and the base voltages of Q2 and Q3 are zero, so a startup circuit must be added. This bandgap reference circuit uses a dual-loop startup circuit to speed up the reference voltage response speed and enable the circuit to start quickly.

[0031] The first bandgap reference startup circuit is composed of MP6, MP7, MP8, MN6, MN7, Q3, C1, and C2. After the circuit is powered on, V BP1 Control MP6 and MP7 to conduct, V BP2 Control MP8 to turn on. After MP6, MP7, and MP8 are turned on, the diode-connected MN6 and Q3 are turned on. The current is copied to the MN7 path through the current mirror. The current charges C2, which will increase the voltage of the upper plate of C2 and the base voltage of Q4, which is higher than the turn-on voltage V of Q4. BE4 When the bandgap reference circuit starts, the voltage on the upper plate of C2 increases, which will cause V GS Lower, when V GS When the voltage is lower than the threshold voltage, MN7 is turned off and the first bandgap reference startup circuit stops working.

[0032] The second bandgap reference startup circuit is composed of MP9, MP10, MP11, MP12, MN8, MN9, MN10, MN11, MN12, MN13, MN14, MN15, R6, R7, and C4. After the circuit is powered on, the current flows into the second loop through the five-tube amplifier on the right to charge the upper plate of C4, V BN2 Provide bias voltage for MN10 and MN11 to turn them on, and the base voltage of Q4 increases. When the voltage is higher than the turn-on voltage V of Q4,BE4 When the bandgap reference circuit starts to work, the source voltage of MN8 and MN9 increases, V GS Decrease, when V GS When it is less than the threshold voltage, MN10 and MN11 are turned off, and the second bandgap reference startup circuit of the startup circuit stops working. At the same time, the voltage of C4 can also turn on MP9 and MP10, so that the branch currents of MP9 and MP10 are consistent. The five-tube amplifier composed of MP11, MP12, MN12, MN13, MN14, and MN15 can also ensure that the drain voltages of MP9 and MP10 are the same, because the ideal amplifier has the characteristic of virtual short. Since the tail current of the op amp is nA level and works in the subthreshold region, the current accuracy is poor. MN14 and MN15 adopt a common source and common gate structure to enhance current matching. Adding resistors R6 and R7 can reduce noise interference and improve power supply suppression.

[0033] Transistors Q4, Q5 and resistors R8, R9 form the main structure of the reference voltage generation circuit. The base-emitter voltage V BE4 , the output voltage of the bandgap reference is V out3 :

[0034] V BE4 =I R8 R 8 +V BE5

[0035] Right now:

[0036]

[0037] According to the above formula, I R8 is the PTAT current, I SQ4 is the current flowing through the Q4 branch.

[0038] again:

[0039] V out3 =V BE4 +(I SQ4 +I R8 )R 9

[0040] Since the bases of Q4 and Q5 are connected to the amplifier 0PA, there is no base current loss, ensuring that the currents of Q4 and Q5 are equal, V out3 It can be expressed as:

[0041]

[0042] V BE4 is the negative temperature coefficient reference voltage, ΔV BE1 For a positive temperature coefficient reference voltage, by adjusting A zero temperature coefficient reference voltage can be obtained.

[0043] Then two reference voltages V are obtained through the resistor voltage divider circuit. ref1 、V ref2 .

[0044] By circuit Figure 4 It can be seen that:

[0045]

[0046] Combination Figure 3 Analysis of the principle of over-temperature protection circuit unit:

[0047] V out1 It is the output signal of over-temperature protection. It is low level in normal operation and high level in over-temperature protection. The leftmost module is the positive temperature coefficient current I generated by the bandgap reference source inside the boost DC-DC circuit. PTAT , MP1, MP2, MN1, MN2 are mutually biased current sources, the purpose is to ensure that the currents of the left and right paths are equal. The ratio of the emitter area of ​​Q2 tube to the emitter area of ​​Q1 tube is N:1. The current of the two circuits is determined by the voltage difference between the emitters of Q1 and Q2 tubes, and the voltage difference between the emitters of Q1 and Q2 tubes is proportional to the temperature.

[0048] Assume the emitter voltage of Q1 is V BE1 , assuming the emitter voltage of Q2 is V BE2 , the voltage difference between the emitters of Q1 and Q2 is ΔV BE2 , we can get:

[0049]

[0050] From the above formula, we can know that ΔV BE2 Directly proportional to temperature.

[0051] From the circuit diagram, we can see that ΔV BE2 is the voltage across resistor R1, so the positive temperature coefficient current I PTAT for:

[0052]

[0053] After being copied by the current mirror, the positive temperature coefficient current I PTAT is copied to the R2 and R3 resistor branches. When the over-temperature protection is not activated, the positive temperature coefficient current I PTAT It only flows through R2, and R3 is short-circuited by MN3, so the positive temperature coefficient voltage V PTAT for:

[0054] V PTAT =R2*I PTAT

[0055] That is:

[0056]

[0057] When the over-temperature protection is activated, MN3 is closed and the current flows through R2 and R3, so the positive temperature coefficient voltage V PTAT becomes:

[0058] V PTAT =(R2+R3)*I PTAT

[0059] That is:

[0060]

[0061] Thus, the positive temperature coefficient voltage V PTAT It is established, and then compared with the reference voltage V at the negative electrode of comparator 1 ref1 When the positive temperature coefficient voltage V PTAT The voltage is higher than the reference voltage V ref1 When the temperature of the boost DC-DC circuit reaches the overheating point, the output jumps, causing the MN3 tube to shut down, and the positive temperature coefficient voltage V PTAT The boost DC-DC circuit will not resume normal operation just because the temperature has just dropped. When the temperature drops to a certain level, the boost DC-DC circuit will start to work normally again. This achieves the hysteresis effect of overheat protection and avoids repeated switching of the chip at a certain temperature point. The size of the hysteresis window is mainly determined by MN3, which can be determined by setting the width-to-length ratio of the MN3 tube. The overheat shutdown point is mainly determined by the resistance values ​​of R2 and R3.

[0062] Combination Figure 4 Analysis of the principle of overvoltage protection circuit unit:

[0063] The circuit on the left is a voltage comparison circuit, V out2 The output signal of the overvoltage protection circuit is low level when it is working normally and high level when it is overvoltage protection. out It is the output of the boost DC-DC circuit. The series resistor on the right forms a feedback voltage, which is V FB , from the circuit we can know:

[0064]

[0065] The feedback voltage V FB With reference voltage V ref2 For comparison, when V FB Exceeds the set reference voltage Vref2 When the overvoltage protection circuit is turned off, the output jumps and the step-up DC-DC circuit is turned off. When the circuit fault is resolved, it restarts and the overvoltage protection circuit also restarts.
