[0045] Embodiment 1:

[0046] See also Figure 1-Figure 3 , Figure 1 is a circuit structure schematic diagram of a DC-DC circuit with over / under voltage input protection function provided by an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 yes Figure 1 The circuit structure schematic diagram of the undervoltage protection unit in the Figure 3 yes Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the circuit structure of the overvoltage protection unit in the figure; for ease of description, in this embodiment, the upper end or left end in the figure is defined as the first end, and the lower end or right end is defined as the second end.

[0047] The DC-DC circuit includes a constant voltage output circuit, and the voltage input side of the constant voltage output circuit is provided with an over / under voltage input protection circuit; the specific circuit structure is as follows:

[0048] An over / under voltage input protection circuit, including an under voltage protection unit and an over voltage protection unit;

[0049] like Figure 2As shown, the undervoltage protection unit includes a voltage stabilizing diode D2, a switch tube Q1 and a switch tube Q2; the cathode of the voltage stabilizing diode D2 is electrically connected to the positive terminal of the switch tube Q2 and the first end of the resistor R3, respectively; the anode of the voltage stabilizing diode D2 is electrically connected to the control end of the switch tube Q1 and the first end of the resistor R1, respectively; the positive terminal of Q1 is electrically connected to the control end of the switch tube Q2 and the second end of the resistor R3, respectively; the second end of the resistor R1 is electrically connected to the negative terminal of the switch tube Q1;

[0050] like Figure 3 As shown, the overvoltage protection unit includes a voltage stabilizing diode D3, a switch tube Q3 and a switch tube Q4; the positive terminal of the switch tube Q4 is electrically connected to the negative terminal of the switch tube Q2, the positive terminal of the switch tube Q3 and the first end of the resistor R4, the second end of the resistor R4 is electrically connected to the negative electrode of the voltage stabilizing diode D3 and the control end of the switch tube Q3, the negative terminal of the switch tube Q3 is electrically connected to the control end of the switch tube Q4 and the first end of the resistor R6, and the second end of the resistor R6 is electrically connected to the positive electrode of the voltage stabilizing diode D3; wherein the second end of the resistor R1 and the second end of the resistor R6 are both electrically connected to the reference ground;

[0051] When the voltage at the cathode of the voltage stabilizing diode D2 is less than the predetermined low-voltage threshold, the voltage stabilizing diode D2 is not broken down, the switch tube Q1 is not turned on, and the voltage drop between the positive terminal and the control terminal of the switch tube Q2 does not reach the set turn-on voltage drop, and the switch tube Q2 is not turned on;

[0052] When the voltage at the cathode of the Zener diode D3 is greater than the predetermined high voltage threshold, the Zener diode D3 is broken down, the switch tube Q3 is turned on, and the voltage drop between the positive terminal and the control terminal of the switch tube Q4 does not reach the set turn-on voltage drop, and the switch tube Q4 is not turned on.

[0053] The above-mentioned over / under voltage input protection circuit can timely shut down the output of the DC-DC circuit when the voltage on the input side of the DC-DC circuit does not reach the set low voltage threshold or when the input voltage exceeds the set high voltage threshold, so as to avoid excessive use of components caused by under voltage and damage to components caused by high voltage;

[0054] Furthermore, the above-mentioned over / under voltage input protection circuit uses only conventional circuit components such as resistors and switch tubes, and has low cost, simple structure, high feasibility and reliability.

[0055] As an optional implementation, the switch tube Q1 is an NPN transistor, the switch tube Q3 is a PNP transistor, and the switch tube Q2 and the switch tube Q4 are both PMOS switch tubes;

[0056] Since the transistor is a current-type control device, a resistor R2 is electrically connected between the control end of the switch tube Q1 and the anode of the voltage-stabilizing diode D2; a resistor R5 is electrically connected between the control end of the switch tube Q3 and the cathode of the voltage-stabilizing diode D3.

[0057] For the above-mentioned over / under voltage input protection circuit, the operating voltage range of the DC-DC circuit can be set by the Zener diode D2 and the Zener diode D3, wherein the Zener diode D2 is used to adjust the minimum operating voltage, and the Zener diode D3 is used to adjust the maximum operating voltage, which is very convenient.

[0058] For example, the voltage zener diode D2 is a 13V voltage zener tube, the switch tube Q1 is an NPN transistor with a conduction condition of Vbe>0.7V, and the voltage zener diode D2 and the switch tube Q1 constitute a switch circuit for controlling the switch tube Q2;

[0059] like Figure 2 As shown, when the input voltage (i.e. Figure 2 V in+ ) is less than 13.7V, the Zener diode D2 is not broken down, the base voltage of the switch tube Q1 cannot reach the conduction condition, and the gate voltage of the switch tube Q2 is almost the same as the source voltage, so the switch tube Q2 is not turned on. At this time, the undervoltage protection is triggered, so the circuit has no output; when the input voltage is greater than 13.7V, the Zener diode D2 is broken down, and the voltage at the first end of the resistor R2 is V in+ Subtracting 13V, the conduction condition of the switch tube Q1 is met, so the switch tube Q1 is turned on. After the switch tube Q1 is turned on, the gate of the switch tube Q2 is immediately pulled low, so the switch tube Q2 is turned on.

[0060] like Figure 3 As shown, the voltage zener diode D3 is a 36V voltage zener tube, the switch tube Q3 is a PNP triode with a conduction condition of Vbe<-0.7V, and the voltage zener diode D3 and the switch tube Q3 constitute a switch circuit for controlling the switch tube Q4;

[0061] When the input voltage exceeds 36.7V, the Zener diode D3 is broken down, and the voltage at the left end of the resistor R5 is maintained at 36V, meeting the conduction condition of the switch tube Q3. Therefore, the switch tube Q3 is turned on, making the gate voltage and source voltage of the switch tube Q4 almost the same, and the switch tube Q4 is not turned on. At this time, the overvoltage protection is triggered, so the circuit has no output; however, when the input voltage does not exceed 36.7V, the Zener diode D3 is not broken down, and the base and emitter voltages of the switch tube Q3 are almost the same, the switch tube Q3 is not turned on, and the gate of the switch tube Q4 is pulled down by the pull-down resistor R6. At this time, the switch tube Q4 is turned on, and the DC-DC circuit outputs the DC voltage normally.

[0062] It is understandable that the switch tube Q1 may also be replaced by an NMOS switch tube, and the switch tube Q3 may also be replaced by a PMOS switch tube. The MOS switch principle is well known in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0063] Further, such as Figure 4 As shown, the constant voltage output circuit includes a voltage stabilizing diode D5, a switch tube Q5 and a switch tube Q6;

[0064] The negative terminal of the switch tube Q4 is electrically connected to the positive terminal of the switch tube Q5, the positive terminal of the switch tube Q6 and the first end of the resistor R8, the second end of the resistor R8 is electrically connected to the cathode of the voltage zener diode D5 and the control end of the switch tube Q6, and the anode of the voltage zener diode D5 is electrically connected to the reference ground;

[0065] The negative terminal of the switch tube Q5 is the constant voltage output terminal of the DC-DC circuit.

[0066] Specifically, the switch tube Q5 and the switch tube Q6 are both NPN transistors;

[0067] A resistor R7 is also electrically connected between the negative terminal of the switch tube Q4 and the positive terminal of the switch tube Q6.

[0068] Specifically, the negative terminal of the switch tube Q4 is also electrically connected to the positive terminal of the diode D4, and the negative terminal of the diode D4 is electrically connected to the positive terminal of the switch tube Q5;

[0069] The cathode of the voltage stabilizing diode D2 is also electrically connected to the cathode of the diode D1 , and the anode of the diode D1 is electrically connected to the second end of the resistor R1 .

[0070] Specifically, the first end of the resistor R8 is also electrically connected to the positive electrode of the capacitor C1, and the negative electrode of the capacitor C1 is electrically connected to the positive electrode of the voltage stabilizing diode D5;

[0071] The negative terminal of the switch tube Q5 is also electrically connected to the positive electrode of the capacitor C2 and the positive electrode of the capacitor C3 respectively, and the negative electrode of the capacitor C2 and the negative electrode of the capacitor C3 are both electrically connected to the positive electrode of the voltage stabilizing diode D5.

[0072] For example,

[0073] Due to the action of the voltage stabilizing diode D5, the base voltage of the switch tube Q6 is clamped at a fixed value V d , the base current I of the switch tube Q6 o =(V in+ -V d ) / R8, the transistor is a current-type control device, so the transistor Q6 is turned on, and the emitter voltage V qe =V d-The conduction voltage drop of switch tube Q6, so switch tube Q6 is turned on. Similarly, switch tube Q5 is also turned on, and the output voltage is V d -The conduction voltage drop of switch tube Q6 -The conduction voltage drop of switch tube Q5. Since the voltage value of voltage regulator diode D5 is determined, the conduction voltage drop of switch tube Q6 and switch tube Q5 is also determined, so the output voltage is relatively constant (with a small range of variation). According to test verification, when the input voltage (V in+ ) is 18V, the output voltage (V OUT+ ) is 11.3749V, such as Figure 4 As shown; when the input voltage is 35V, the output voltage is 11.3766V.

[0074] It should be noted that the output is a constant voltage and the constant voltage value can be adaptively adjusted according to application requirements, that is, the parameters of the resistors, diodes, transistors and MOS tubes required in the circuit can be calculated according to the voltage and current requirements of the required circuit, and the corresponding components can be selected to achieve the functions of input undervoltage protection and overvoltage protection and output constant voltage, and the over / undervoltage input protection circuit is commonly used for any step-down circuit that requires an input overvoltage protection circuit.

[0075] In addition, in the above circuit structure, the role of the diode D1 is to prevent reverse connection, which utilizes the unidirectional conductivity of the diode. When the power supply is correctly connected, the high impedance characteristic of the diode prevents the current from passing, so that the power supply flows to the subsequent circuit; when the power supply is reversely connected, the diode allows the current to pass, and the power supply does not flow to the subsequent circuit, thereby protecting the circuit from damage by reverse current.

[0076] Embodiment 2:

[0077] Based on the same concept, this embodiment provides an electrical device, including a DC power supply, in which a DC-DC circuit is provided, and the DC-DC circuit adopts the DC-DC circuit as described in Embodiment 1. Since Embodiment 1 has made a relatively detailed description of the DC-DC circuit, it will not be repeated in this embodiment.

[0078] As an optional implementation, a battery is used as a power supply device in the DC power supply;

[0079] Specifically, Figure 1 As shown, the positive terminal of the battery is electrically connected to the cathode of the voltage-stabilizing diode D2, and the negative terminal of the battery is electrically connected to the anode of the diode D1; the negative terminal of the switch tube Q5 and the anode of the voltage-stabilizing diode D5 are electrically connected to the two ends of the load resistor RL respectively.

[0080] The function of the DC-DC circuit is to reduce the output voltage of the battery to the voltage required by the user and maintain a constant voltage output. When the battery is undervoltage / overvoltage, the DC-DC circuit can cut off the voltage output in time, effectively avoiding excessive use of devices caused by undervoltage and damage to components due to high voltage.

[0081] As described above, the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit the same. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments may still be modified, or some of the technical features thereof may be replaced by equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
