[0028] Embodiment 1

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, the power consumption control circuit in the first embodiment of the present invention includes an output tube K1 , a mirror module 10 and a regulating module 20 .

[0030] Among them, the first end of the output tube K1 is connected to the power supply voltage, the second end of the output tube K1 is connected to the external load to provide the output current Iout, the adjustment module 20 is connected to the second end of the output tube K1 and the external load, the adjustment module 20 generates the first voltage V1 based on the change of the current I0 required by the external load, and the mirror module 10 is connected to the adjustment module 20 and the control end of the output tube K1 to adjust the size of the output current Iout based on the first voltage V1, and feedback adjusts the size of the first voltage V1.

[0031] In one embodiment, the external load can be any circuit that needs to achieve effective power consumption control, such as a comparator, an inverter, a trigger, a digital logic circuit, a high-speed flip-flop signal processing circuit, etc. This solution does not limit the specific form of the external load. The external load can also be another power consumption control circuit in this application, that is, through a nested manner, the first power consumption control circuit supplies power to the second power consumption control circuit and realizes power consumption control, and the second power consumption control circuit then supplies power to the external load and realizes power consumption control of the external load circuit, which can play a role in expanding the adjustment range and stabilizing power.

[0032] Specifically, the regulating module 20 includes a fifth transistor M5 and a first current source Ib1. The second end of the fifth transistor M5 is connected to the power supply voltage, the control end of the fifth transistor M5 is connected to the second end of the output tube K1 and the external load, the first end of the fifth transistor M5 is connected to the first end of the first current source Ib1 and the mirror module 10 to generate the first voltage V1, and the second end of the first current source Ib1 is connected to the ground voltage.

[0033] The mirror module 10 includes a first mirror unit and a second mirror unit. The first mirror unit is connected to the first end of the fifth transistor M5 and the control end of the output tube K1 to generate a first current I1 based on the first voltage V1 and adjust the magnitude of the output current Iout, and the second mirror unit is connected to the first mirror unit and the first end of the fifth transistor M5 to adjust the magnitude of the first voltage V1 based on the first current I1.

[0034] The first mirror unit includes a first transistor M1 and a second transistor M2. The first end of the first transistor M1 and the first end of the second transistor M2 are connected to the power supply voltage, the control end of the first transistor M1, the second end of the first transistor M1, and the control end of the second transistor M2 are connected to the first end of the fifth transistor M5 and the control end of the output tube K1 to receive the first voltage V1 and adjust the magnitude of the output current Iout based on the first voltage V1, and the second end of the second transistor M2 is connected to the second mirror unit to generate the first current I1.

[0035] The second mirror unit includes a third transistor M3 and a fourth transistor M4. A first end of the third transistor M3 and a first end of the fourth transistor M4 are connected to a ground voltage, a control end of the third transistor M3, a second end of the third transistor M3, and a control end of the fourth transistor M4 are connected to a second end of the second transistor M2 to receive a first current I1, and a second end of the fourth transistor M4 is connected to a first end of a fifth transistor M5 to adjust the magnitude of the first voltage V1.

[0036] In one embodiment, the output tube K1, the first transistor M1, and the second transistor M2 are all PMOS tubes, and the third transistor M3, the fourth transistor M4, and the fifth transistor M5 are all NMOS tubes. In other embodiments, the output tube K1, the first transistor M1, and the second transistor M2 may also be NMOS tubes or other devices, and the third transistor M3, the fourth transistor M4, and the fifth transistor M5 may also be PMOS tubes or other devices, and their connection methods are adaptively adjusted.

[0037] The first end of each of the above-mentioned tubes refers to the source, the second end of each of the above-mentioned tubes refers to the drain, and the control end of each of the above-mentioned tubes refers to the gate.

[0038] In one embodiment, the above-mentioned tubes all operate in the saturation region.

[0039] In actual operation, the output tube K1 can generate an output current Iout to supply the external load based on its own opening, and the magnitude of the output current Iout can be adjusted by adjusting the voltage of the control terminal of the output tube K1. In a balanced state, the current I0 required by the external load is the output current Iout of the output tube K1. When the power supply demand of the external load suddenly increases, the current I0 required by the external load suddenly increases, and the voltage of the control terminal of the fifth transistor M5 will be pulled down, causing the first voltage V1 on the first terminal of the fifth transistor M5 to also be pulled down.

[0040] As the first voltage V1 is pulled down, the VGS of the first transistor M1 increases, and the current on the first transistor M1 also increases. The second transistor M2 and the output tube K1 form a current mirror with the first transistor M1, and the output current Iout and the first current I1 increase along with the current on the first transistor M1. Among them, the increased output current Iout is directly supplied to the external load, so that the current I0 required by the external load and the output current Iout are restored to balance, and the control terminal voltage of the fifth transistor M5 is also restored to a balanced state. As the first current I1 increases, the voltage of the second end of the third transistor M3 will also increase. Through the current mirror formed by the third transistor M3 and the fourth transistor M4, the voltage of the second end of the fourth transistor M4 increases synchronously, realizing feedback regulation to restore the first voltage V1 to a new stable potential.

[0041] When the power supply demand of the external load suddenly decreases, the above steps are repeated, and the output current Iout can also be autonomously regulated and stabilized.

[0042] In the above process, the power consumption control circuit provides current supply to the external load completely based on its demand, and does not limit the voltage value on the node where the external load is connected to the power consumption control circuit. Compared with the commonly used LDO circuit, the power supply principle is different and more flexible.

[0043] The power consumption control circuit of the present application can convert the change of the power supply demand of the external load into a voltage change in a negative feedback manner, identify the response through the mirror module 10, and adjust the output current Iout by adjusting the gate voltage of the output tube K1 to meet the new power supply demand. At the same time, through the internal loop of the mirror module 10, it is ensured that the first voltage V1 converges to a stable working state corresponding to the new demand until the next power supply demand changes. The power consumption control circuit of the present application provides the external load with the required current, and can achieve power consumption control without changing the load circuit. By actively responding to the load power supply changes, the power consumption waste caused by the uncontrolled through-current between the power supply and the ground in the traditional circuit is limited.

[0044] Embodiment 2

[0045] like Figure 2As shown, the power consumption control circuit in the second embodiment of the present invention includes an output tube K1 , a mirror module 10 and a regulating module 20 .

[0047] In one embodiment, the external load can be any circuit that needs to achieve effective power consumption control, such as a comparator, an inverter, a trigger, a digital logic circuit, a high-speed flip-flop signal processing circuit, etc. This solution does not limit the specific form of the external load. The external load can also be another power consumption control circuit in this application, that is, through a nested manner, the first power consumption control circuit supplies power to the second power consumption control circuit and realizes power consumption control, and the second power consumption control circuit then supplies power to the external load and realizes power consumption control of the external load circuit, which can play a role in expanding the adjustment range and stabilizing power.

[0048] Specifically, the regulating module 20 includes a current unit, a second current source Ib2, and a third mirror unit. The current unit is connected to the second end of the output tube K1 and the external load to generate the second current I2 based on the output current Iout and the current I0 required by the external load, the first end of the second current source Ib2 is connected to the power supply voltage, the second current source Ib2 is used to generate a bias current, the third mirror unit is connected to the second end of the second current source Ib2 and the current unit to receive the bias current and the second current I2, and the third mirror unit is connected to the mirror module 10 to generate the first voltage V1 based on the bias current and the second current I2.

[0049] The current unit includes a first current mirror I1 and a second current mirror I2.

[0051] The second current I2 mirror includes an eighth transistor M8 and a ninth transistor M9, wherein a first end of the eighth transistor M8 and a first end of the ninth transistor M9 are connected to a power supply voltage, a second end of the eighth transistor M8, a control end of the eighth transistor M8, and a control end of the ninth transistor M9 are connected to the first current I1 mirror to receive a reference current Ix, and a second end of the ninth transistor M9 is connected to a third mirror unit to generate a second current I2.

[0052] The third mirror unit includes a tenth transistor M10 and an eleventh transistor M11, a first end of the tenth transistor M10 and a first end of the eleventh transistor M11 are connected to the ground voltage, a second end of the tenth transistor M10, a control end of the tenth transistor M10, and a control end of the eleventh transistor M11 are connected to the second end of the ninth transistor M9 and the second end of the second current source Ib2 to receive the bias current and the second current I2, and a second end of the eleventh transistor M11 is connected to the mirror module 10 to generate the first voltage V1.

[0053] like Figure 2 As shown, the mirror module 10 includes a first mirror unit and a second mirror unit. The first mirror unit is connected to the second end of the eleventh transistor M11 and the control end of the output tube K1 to generate a first current I1 based on the first voltage V1 and adjust the magnitude of the output current Iout, and the second mirror unit is connected to the first mirror unit and the second end of the eleventh transistor M11 to adjust the magnitude of the first voltage V1 based on the first current I1.

[0054] The first mirror unit includes a first transistor M1 and a second transistor M2. The first end of the first transistor M1 and the first end of the second transistor M2 are connected to the power supply voltage, the control end of the first transistor M1, the second end of the first transistor M1, and the control end of the second transistor M2 are connected to the second end of the eleventh transistor M11 and the control end of the output tube K1 to receive the first voltage V1 and adjust the magnitude of the output current Iout based on the first voltage V1, and the second end of the second transistor M2 is connected to the second mirror unit to generate the first current I1.

[0055] The second mirror unit includes a third transistor M3 and a fourth transistor M4. A first end of the third transistor M3 and a first end of the fourth transistor M4 are connected to a ground voltage, a control end of the third transistor M3, a second end of the third transistor M3, and a control end of the fourth transistor M4 are connected to a second end of the second transistor M2 to receive a first current I1, and a second end of the fourth transistor M4 is connected to a second end of the eleventh transistor M11 to adjust the magnitude of the first voltage V1.

[0056] In one embodiment, the output tube K1, the first transistor M1, the second transistor M2, the eighth transistor M8, and the ninth transistor M9 are all PMOS tubes, and the third transistor M3, the fourth transistor M4, the sixth transistor M6, the seventh transistor M7, the tenth transistor M10, and the eleventh transistor M11 are all NMOS tubes. In other embodiments, the output tube K1, the first transistor M1, the second transistor M2, the eighth transistor M8, and the ninth transistor M9 may also be NMOS tubes or other devices, and the third transistor M3, the fourth transistor M4, the sixth transistor M6, the seventh transistor M7, the tenth transistor M10, and the eleventh transistor M11 may also be PMOS tubes or other devices, and their connection methods are adaptively adjusted.

[0057] The first end of each of the above-mentioned tubes refers to the source, the second end of each of the above-mentioned tubes refers to the drain, and the control end of each of the above-mentioned tubes refers to the gate.

[0058] In one embodiment, the above-mentioned tubes all operate in the saturation region.

[0059] In the actual working process, the output tube K1 can generate an output current Iout based on its own opening. The output current Iout is supplied to the external load in one way and to the sixth transistor M6 in another way. The magnitude of the output current Iout can be adjusted by adjusting the voltage of the control terminal of the output tube K1. In a balanced state, the current I0 required by the external load, the current on the sixth transistor M6, and the output current Iout of the output tube K1 remain stable. When the power supply demand of the external load suddenly increases, the current I0 required by the external load suddenly increases, and current is drawn from the sixth transistor M6, causing the reference current Ix to decrease following the current on the sixth transistor M6, and the second current I2 to decrease following the reference current Ix.

[0060] At this time, the current (the sum of the bias current and the second current I2) flowing into the tenth transistor M10 decreases, and through the current mirror formed by the tenth transistor M10 and the eleventh transistor M11, the current in the eleventh transistor M11 decreases, and the first voltage V1 on the second end of the eleventh transistor M11 is pulled down.

[0061] As the first voltage V1 decreases, the VGS of the first transistor M1 increases, and the current on the first transistor M1 also increases. The second transistor M2 and the output tube K1 form a current mirror with the first transistor M1, and the output current Iout and the first current I1 increase along with the current on the first transistor M1. Among them, the increased output current Iout is directly supplied to the external load, so that the current I0 required by the external load, the current on the sixth transistor M6 and the output current Iout are restored to balance. As the first current I1 increases, the voltage at the second end of the third transistor M3 will also increase. Through the current mirror formed by the third transistor M3 and the fourth transistor M4, the voltage at the second end of the fourth transistor M4 increases synchronously, realizing feedback regulation to restore the first voltage V1 to a new stable potential.

[0062] When the power supply demand of the external load suddenly decreases, the above steps are repeated, and the output current Iout can also be autonomously regulated and stabilized.

[0063] In the above process, the power consumption control circuit provides current supply to the external load completely based on its demand, and does not limit the voltage value on the node where the external load is connected to the power consumption control circuit. Compared with the commonly used LDO circuit, the power supply principle is different and more flexible.

[0064] The power consumption control circuit of the present application can convert the change of the power supply demand of the external load into a voltage change in a negative feedback manner, identify the response through the mirror module 10, and adjust the output current Iout by adjusting the gate voltage of the output tube K1 to meet the new power supply demand. At the same time, through the internal loop of the mirror module 10, it is ensured that the first voltage V1 converges to a stable working state corresponding to the new demand until the next power supply demand changes. The power consumption control circuit of the present application provides the external load with the required current, and can achieve power consumption control without changing the load circuit. By actively responding to the load power supply changes, the power consumption waste caused by the uncontrolled through-current between the power supply and the ground in the traditional circuit is limited.
