[0028] like Figure 1The basic application scenario of the embodiment of the present application shown is a Buck circuit application scenario, including: an equivalent capacitance unit A, a comparison signal generating unit B, a PWM control unit C, and a feedforward path unit D, wherein:
[0029] The equivalent capacitance unit A is connected between the comparison signal generating unit B and the PWM control unit C, the feedforward path unit D is connected to the PWM control unit C, the equivalent capacitance unit A mainly includes a second operational transconductance amplifier gm2, and the comparison signal generating unit B is provided with a first operational transconductance amplifier gm1, the first operational transconductance amplifier is used to convert the voltage into current in the Buck circuit and control the PWM comparator. The combination of the comparison signal generating unit B and the PWM control unit C can control the state of the switching device, thereby adjusting the energy of the inductance in the Buck circuit, achieving the regulation and stabilization of the output voltage, and controlling the relationship between the input voltage and the output voltage by changing the duty cycle of the signal to achieve the purpose of voltage reduction or voltage increase. The PWM control unit C generates a PWM signal according to the comparison result of the feedback voltage and the reference voltage provided by the comparison signal generating unit B. When the feedback voltage is higher than the reference voltage, the PWM control unit C outputs a high level to turn on the MOS tube, and when the feedback voltage is lower than the reference voltage, the PWM control unit C outputs a low level to turn off the MOS tube. The feedforward path unit D includes a feedback resistor and a feedforward capacitor. New zeros and poles are formed by the feedforward capacitor and the feedback resistor, which have a significant impact on the gain and phase characteristics of the system loop. Specifically, the feedforward path unit D adjusts the phase margin and gain of the loop by introducing zeros and poles, thereby optimizing the overall performance of the Buck circuit. The feedforward capacitor introduces gain improvement by reducing the phase lag of the capacitor after the zero frequency, and the phase improvement reaches the maximum value between the zero frequency and the pole frequency, which has a significant impact on the phase characteristics through the change of the capacitor impedance.
[0030] The working principle of the operational transconductance amplifier (OTA) in the embodiment of the present application can be briefly described as follows: the operational transconductance amplifier converts the input differential voltage into an output current, and the output current is proportional to the input voltage difference. The input end of the operational transconductance amplifier (OTA) has a high impedance and can work in conjunction with a negative feedback loop to reduce the load effect on the previous circuit. The input end of the operational transconductance amplifier includes a non-inverting input end and an inverting input end, forming a differential input structure, so that the operational transconductance amplifier can amplify the voltage difference between the two input ends. For example, the output current of the feedforward path can be fed back to the input end, and the gain and stability of the OTA can be controlled by adjusting the value of the feedback resistor.
[0031] like Figure 1AAs shown, in the related art, when the chip circuit requires a larger capacitor, especially when designing loop stability, a larger capacitor is required as the main pole. However, if a larger capacitor is simply placed, the chip area will increase. For example, the Miller compensation method commonly used in the related art is used to increase the equivalent capacitance. This is unacceptable in chip design work. Therefore, the basic application scenario of the embodiment of the present application is not adopted. Figure 1A The miller compensation method shown increases the equivalent capacitance.
[0032] like Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides an equivalent capacitance circuit, the equivalent capacitance circuit is arranged in an equivalent capacitance unit A, the equivalent capacitance circuit and the device thereof can be applied to a Buck circuit, the equivalent capacitance circuit is connected between a first operational transconductance amplifier gm1 of the equivalent capacitance unit A in the Buck circuit and a PWM comparator CP1 of a PWM control unit C, and the equivalent capacitance unit A at least includes:
[0033] A second operational transconductance amplifier gm2, wherein the second operational transconductance amplifier gm2 is configured such that an output terminal is connected to an inverting input terminal;
[0034] A first resistor R1 is configured to be connected between a non-inverting input terminal and an inverting input terminal of a second operational amplifier gm2;
[0035] The first capacitor C1 is configured such that one end is connected to the non-inverting input terminal of the second operational transconductance amplifier gm2 and the other end is grounded.
[0036] A second resistor R2, one end of the second resistor R2 is connected to the first resistor R1, and the other end of the second resistor R2 is connected between the first operational transconductance amplifier gm1 of the comparison signal generating unit B and the PWM comparator of the PWM control unit C.
[0037] like Figure 3 As shown, combined Figure 2 and Figure 1 From the description of the equivalent capacitance unit A, it can be seen that the capacitance of the first capacitor C1 is relatively small and is connected in series with the first resistor R1. The second operational transconductance amplifier gm2 is connected in the form of a unit increase buffer. The in-phase terminal VP of the second operational transconductance amplifier gm2 is connected to the upper plate of the first capacitor C1, and the inverting terminal VN is connected to the upper end of the first resistor R1. Through mathematical calculations, it can be known that Figure 3 The equivalent impedance of point Y to ground can be regarded as resistance With capacitor series resistance It is equivalent to the inverse of the gain of the operational transconductance amplifier, and the capacitance is equivalent to C times, that is:
[0038] …… (1)
[0039] …… (2)
[0040] Therefore, if Larger, It is small and can be ignored when connected in series with other larger resistors, so the equivalent capacitance unit A can be regarded as a capacitor with a larger capacitance.
[0041] The equivalent impedance of point Y to ground is calculated as follows:
[0042] List the node voltage equation:
[0043] …… (3)
[0044] …… (4)
[0045] Therefore, the equivalent impedance seen by the AC source is:
[0046] …… (5)
[0047] In formula (5), the equivalent impedance Z has capacitive reactance on the left and resistance on the right. At low frequencies, , the capacitor is regarded as an open circuit, and the impedance is infinite; at high frequencies, the capacitor is regarded as a short circuit, ,if ,but Therefore, the circuit in the figure can be equivalent to a series connection of a resistor and a capacitor. The derivation of the equivalent capacitance expression is obtained by analyzing the expression of the impedance Z using the limiting assumptions of extremely low frequency and extremely high frequency.
[0048] Figure 3 The equivalent capacitance formula can also be seen intuitively that when the AC source has a signal, there will be an AC current. , and the amplifier will Most of the current is drawn away, resulting in a smaller current flowing to capacitor C. The voltage fluctuation is small, just like the capacitor C is large, indirectly increasing a smaller capacitor C to .
[0049] Combine the following Figure 2 , Figure 3 The equivalent capacitor circuit and Buck circuit of the embodiment of the present application are further described in detail:
[0050] An embodiment of the present application provides a Buck circuit, including an equivalent capacitor circuit, wherein an output end of a first operational transconductance amplifier gm1 is connected to an inverting input end of a PWM comparator, a non-inverting input end of the first operational transconductance amplifier gm1 is used to input a reference voltage Vref, an inverting end of the first operational transconductance amplifier gm1 is connected to a feedforward path unit D of the Buck circuit, an output end of a PWM comparator CP1 is connected to a gate of a first MOS tube Q1 through a latch LATCH, a drain of the first MOS tube Q1 is connected to a power supply VS, a non-inverting input end of the PWM comparator CP1 is connected between the drain of the first MOS tube Q1 and the power supply VS, and a source of the first MOS tube Q1 is connected to an L1 feedforward path through a first inductor.
[0051] In the Buck circuit of the embodiment of the present application, there is a latch LATCH, which has an R input terminal and an S input terminal, and a Q output terminal, wherein the R input terminal is connected to the output terminal of the PWM comparator CP1, the S input terminal is used to input the clock signal CLK, and the Q output terminal of the latch LATCH is connected to the gate of the first MOS tube Q1. The latch LATCH is a logic element with a memory function, which can maintain the input state at its output terminal until the next valid control signal arrives. The PWM signal generated by the PWM comparator CP1 is transmitted to the gate of the first MOS tube after passing through the latch LATCH, so that the switching state of the first MOS tube can be ensured to remain stable within the cycle of the PWM comparator C1, and is not affected by external interference. The switching action of the first MOS tube can be synchronously controlled, and the switching state of the MOS tube can be synchronously updated within the specified clock signal CLK cycle, ensuring the accuracy and synchronization of the synchronous action of the switching device, and reducing the false triggering of the MOS tube due to circuit noise or jitter.
[0052] The feedforward path unit D is provided with a feedforward path, in which the feedback network of the feedforward circuit is included, the feedforward path includes a third resistor R3, a fourth resistor R4, a feedforward capacitor CL and a load resistor RL, one end of the third resistor R3 is connected to the first inductor L1, the other end is connected to the fourth resistor R4, the other end of the fourth resistor R4 is grounded, one end of the feedforward capacitor CL is connected to the first inductor L1, the other end is grounded, one end of the load resistor RL is connected to the first inductor L1, and the other end is grounded. The inverting output end of the first operational transconductance amplifier gm1 is connected between the third resistor R3 and the fourth resistor R4. The Buck circuit also includes a first diode D1, the cathode of the first diode D1 is connected between the source of the first MOS tube Q1 and the first inductor L1, and the anode of the first diode D1 is grounded. The non-inverting input end of the PWM comparator CP1 is connected between the drain of the first MOS tube Q1 and the power supply VS.
[0053] The feedforward path unit D adjusts the phase margin and gain of the loop by introducing new zeros and poles, thereby optimizing the dynamic response and stability of the Buck circuit. The feedforward capacitor CL reduces the phase lag within a specific frequency range and introduces gain boost, so that the phase boost reaches its maximum value between the zero frequency and the pole frequency. The configuration of the feedforward path unit D has a significant impact on the phase characteristics of the loop. By adjusting the parameters of the capacitor and resistor, the desired phase and gain characteristics can be achieved at different frequencies, achieving precise regulation and stabilization of the Buck circuit output voltage, while optimizing the circuit's dynamic response and stability, and improving the overall performance and efficiency of the circuit.
[0054] like Figure 4 The equivalent capacitance calculation method shown is applied to any implementation of the embodiment of the present application, including:
[0055] Step S1, input an alternating current to the input terminal of the second operational transconductance amplifier, and obtain the voltage of the non-inverting input terminal and the voltage of the inverting input terminal according to the node voltage equation; in the embodiment of the present application, the input terminal of the second operational transconductance amplifier includes a non-inverting input terminal and an inverting input terminal.
[0056] Step S2, obtaining an alternating voltage at the input of the second operational transconductance amplifier according to the voltage at the non-inverting input terminal and the voltage at the inverting input terminal.
[0057] Step S3, dividing the alternating voltage by the alternating current to obtain an equivalent impedance of the input end of the second operational transconductance amplifier.
[0058] Step S4: the equivalent impedance includes a capacitive reactance part and a resistive part. According to the frequency of the alternating current, the corresponding equivalent capacitance in the Buck circuit is obtained.
[0059] The technical solution provided by steps S1 to S4 measures and calculates the equivalent impedance in the Buck circuit through an operational transconductance amplifier (OTA), measures the voltage of the OTA in-phase input terminal and the inverting input terminal according to the node voltage equation, calculates the alternating voltage of the OTA input terminal based on the measured voltage of the in-phase and inverting input terminals, and divides the alternating voltage by the alternating current to obtain the equivalent impedance of the OTA input terminal. The equivalent impedance obtained here includes a resistance part and a capacitive reactance part. Since the impedance includes a capacitive reactance part, the equivalent impedance will change with the frequency of the alternating current and voltage, and finally obtain the corresponding equivalent impedance in the Buck circuit. At low frequencies, the equivalent impedance tends to infinity, while at high frequencies, the capacitor is regarded as a short circuit, and the equivalent impedance approaches the resistance part, so the equivalent impedance obtained from steps S1 to S4 can be regarded as a series connection of a resistor and a capacitor. In the equivalent impedance, only a small part of the AC current provided by the AC source will flow to the equivalent capacitor unit A, and the voltage VP at the in-phase input terminal of the second operational transconductance amplifier fluctuates very little, just like a large capacitor, which indirectly amplifies a smaller capacitor. The equivalent capacitance expression is derived by analyzing the expression of impedance Z using the limiting assumptions of extremely low frequency and extremely high frequency.
