[0030] In some embodiments, the LDO circuit may have different names, such as LDO, low voltage dropout voltage regulator circuit, low voltage dropout regulator, low voltage dropout linear voltage regulator circuit, etc., and the names are not limited here.

[0031] Figure 1 A schematic block diagram of a power supply system consistent with at least one embodiment of the present application is shown. As shown in the figure, the power supply system includes a reference voltage generator (voltage reference) and a functional module. The stable voltage vout_ref output by the reference voltage generator is used to supply power to one or more functional modules.

[0032] In an exemplary embodiment, the reference voltage generator may include a low dropout linear regulator (LDO). The LDO has the characteristics of high stability, fast dynamic response, and stable output, and can power the negative voltage generation module, etc., so as to ensure the stability of the negative voltage generated by the negative voltage generation module.

[0033] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 2 A schematic block diagram of a specific example of a negative voltage generating circuit is shown. As shown in the figure, the negative voltage generating module 200 may include an oscillator, a clock buffer, and a charge pump. In order to ensure that the negative voltage generated by the negative voltage generating module 200 is always maintained at a suitable potential, a reference voltage generator (such as LDO) is first required to provide a relatively stable voltage reference source for the oscillator, the clock buffer, and the charge pump. Then, under the power supply of the stable voltage vout_ref output by the LDO, the clock buffer can generate two opposite clock signals (clk and clkb) according to the oscillation signal output by the oscillator to provide to the charge pump, and finally the charge pump outputs a stable negative voltage vneg.

[0034] However, if the power supply voltage is reduced, and the more advanced the process, the lower the power supply voltage can be used, and LDO is a step-down model, when the power supply voltage is low to a certain level, due to the voltage margin problem, LDO can no longer work normally, that is, LDO turns off the output, and there is no stable voltage vout_ref output, which affects the power supply to functional modules such as oscillators, clock buffers and charge pumps, causing them to fail to work normally.

[0035] To this end, an embodiment of the present application provides a low voltage dropout linear regulator with a bypass mode. Figure 3 A schematic diagram of a principle block diagram of a specific example of a low-voltage dropout linear regulator with a bypass mode in an embodiment of the present application is shown. As shown in the figure, the low-voltage dropout linear regulator with a bypass mode includes: A bypass mode switching circuit 100 is configured to switch the working mode of the low voltage dropout linear regulator according to a power supply voltage vdda; and The power tube MP is configured as an output transistor of the low voltage drop linear regulator to output a stable voltage vout_ref; Wherein, the working mode includes a normal working mode and a bypass mode; When the power supply voltage vdda is lower than the power supply voltage threshold, the bypass mode switching circuit 100 switches the working mode of the low voltage dropout linear regulator to the bypass mode, so that the loop of the low voltage dropout linear regulator is invalid, and the output terminal OUT of the low voltage dropout linear regulator outputs the power supply voltage vdda; When the power supply voltage vdda is higher than the power supply voltage threshold, the bypass mode switching circuit 100 switches the working mode of the low voltage dropout linear regulator to the normal working mode, so that the low voltage dropout linear regulator works normally, and the output terminal OUT of the low voltage dropout linear regulator outputs the stable voltage vout_ref output by the power tube MP.

[0036] In this way, the embodiment of the present application can switch the working mode of the low-dropout linear regulator (LDO) according to the power supply voltage through the bypass mode switching circuit, so that when the power supply voltage drops to a certain level, that is, below the power supply voltage threshold, the defect that the LDO can no longer work normally is overcome, and it can switch from the normal working mode of the LDO to the bypass mode, and at this time, the output end of the LDO is controlled to directly output the power supply voltage. Then, the output end of the LDO can output a stable voltage when the LDO is working normally, and can output the power supply voltage when the LDO cannot work normally, so the output will not be turned off due to the failure of the LDO to work normally, that is, the power supply capacity will not be lost, and the power supply voltage can be used to continue to supply power to subsequent functional modules such as the negative pressure generation module, ensuring that the LDO is a relatively stable voltage reference source, so that the LDO output is continuous and uninterrupted.

[0037] In the embodiment of the present application, the power tube MP may include at least one of the following: MOSFET; BJT (bipolar junction transistor, abbreviated as triode); IGBT (insulated gate bipolar transistor); GTO (gate turn-off thyristor); SCR (silicon controlled thyristor); MCT (MOS controlled thyristor); IGCT (integrated gate commutated thyristor); IEGT (electron injection enhanced gate transistor). The power tube MP may include a control terminal, a first signal terminal, and a second signal terminal. Its working principle is that under the control of the control signal input to the control terminal, the path between the first signal terminal and the second signal terminal is turned on or off to connect or block the signal transmission between the first signal terminal and the second signal terminal. For example, the first signal terminal may be a source terminal, and correspondingly, the second signal terminal may be a drain terminal; or conversely, the first signal terminal may be a drain terminal, and correspondingly, the second signal terminal may be a source terminal. Exemplarily, the power tube MP may be a PMOS tube.

[0038] The method of implementing the switching of the LDO working mode according to the power supply voltage vdda in the bypass mode switching circuit 100 can be set according to actual needs, for example, it can include at least one of the following: using a switch module to implement switching; using a circuit with signal processing capability to control switching, including a circuit with instruction reading and running capability such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a GPU (graphics processing unit), etc., a circuit that implements a certain function through a fixed or reconfigurable logical relationship of a hardware circuit such as an FPGA, or other circuits, to control the switching of the LDO loop to work normally or fail according to the power supply voltage obtained by the circuit; and so on.

[0039] The power supply voltage threshold may be set according to actual requirements, for example, may be determined according to a voltage margin.

[0040] The overall architecture of the low-dropout linear regulator with bypass mode provided in the embodiment of the present application mainly includes two parts: an LDO main loop structure mainly composed of an error amplifier EA, a power tube MP and a feedback circuit 300; and an output switching structure mainly composed of a bypass mode switching circuit 100.

[0041] Figure 4 A circuit diagram of a specific example of a bypass mode switching circuit in an embodiment of the present application is shown. As shown in the figure, in an optional implementation, the bypass mode switching circuit includes: A switching control module 101 is configured to generate a corresponding start / stop signal b and a bypass signal a according to the power supply voltage vdda; A first switch module 102 is configured to be turned on or off under the control of the bypass signal a, so that the output terminal OUT of the low voltage difference linear regulator switches to output the power supply voltage vdda or the regulated voltage vout_ref; and The second switch module 103 is configured to be turned on or off under the control of the start / stop signal b, so that the power tube MP is turned off to make the loop of the low-voltage difference linear regulator invalid, or the power tube MP is turned on to make the low-voltage difference linear regulator work normally.

[0042] In an exemplary embodiment, a comparator may be used to determine whether the power supply voltage vdda decreases. For example, the power supply voltage vdda may be directly compared with a power supply voltage threshold, or the power supply voltage vdda may be divided and then compared with a reference voltage, and so on.

[0043] The corresponding relationship between the bypass signal a and the start-stop signal b can be an in-phase relationship or an anti-phase relationship, which can be determined according to the effective levels of the control signals required by the first switch module 102 and the second switch module 103 respectively controlled by them. For example, if the effective levels of the control signals required by the first switch module 102 (such as an NMOS tube) and the second switch module 103 (such as a PMOS tube) are in opposite phases, that is, one is a high level and the other is a low level, then the bypass signal a and the start-stop signal b can be in an anti-phase relationship.

[0044] In an exemplary embodiment, when the first switch module 102 is turned on under the control of the bypass signal a, the output terminal OUT of the low voltage difference linear regulator can output the power supply voltage vdda. At this time, the second switch module 103 can be turned on under the control of the start-stop signal b, and the power tube MP can be controlled to be disconnected, and the loop of the low voltage difference linear regulator fails.

[0045] On the contrary, when the second switch module 103 is disconnected under the control of the start-stop signal b, the power tube MP can be controlled to be turned on, and the low-voltage difference linear regulator works normally. At this time, the first switch module 102 can be disconnected under the control of the bypass signal a, and the output terminal OUT of the low-voltage difference linear regulator can output a stable voltage vout_ref.

[0046] In this way, the embodiment of the present application switches the voltage value output by the LDO output end according to the power supply voltage control by switching the control module, the first switch module and the second switch module, respectively, under the control of the corresponding start-stop signal and the bypass signal on the first switch module and the second switch module, that is, controls the switching of the LDO working mode, and ensures that no matter whether the LDO can work normally due to the power supply voltage, the LDO output end can have a voltage output, so that the LDO output is continuous and uninterrupted.

[0047] In an optional implementation, the switching control module 101 includes: A voltage dividing module 1011 is configured to divide the power supply voltage vdda to obtain a divided voltage V1; The comparator COM is configured to generate a comparison output signal of a first level when the divided voltage V1 is lower than the second reference voltage Vref2; and to generate a comparison output signal of a second level when the divided voltage V1 is higher than the second reference voltage Vref2; A first inverter U1 is configured to invert the comparison output signal to obtain the bypass signal a; and The second inverter U2 is configured to invert the bypass signal a to obtain the start-stop signal b.

[0048] In the embodiment of the present application, the first level may be a high level or a low level, and correspondingly, the second level may be a low level or a high level.

[0049] In this way, in the embodiment of the present application, the voltage divider module is used to compare the divided voltage obtained after the power supply voltage is divided by the voltage divider module with the second reference voltage, and a bypass signal and a start-stop signal that are mutually inverted are obtained through two cascaded inverters, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the on-off control of the first switch module and the second switch module.
