[0017] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure clearer, the technical solution of the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the described embodiments of the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work also fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
[0018] In all embodiments of the present disclosure, since the source and drain of a metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) transistor are symmetrical, and the conduction current directions between the source and drain of an N-type transistor and a P-type transistor are opposite, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the controlled middle terminal of the MOS transistor is referred to as a control terminal, and the remaining two terminals of the MOS transistor are referred to as a first terminal and a second terminal, respectively. In addition, terms such as "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish one component (or a portion of a component) from another component (or another portion of a component).
[0019] To avoid Figure 1 In order to prevent the current backflow situation shown in the figure from happening, it is necessary to design a zero-crossing detection circuit. The zero-crossing detection circuit can detect the state of the inductor current. When it is detected that the inductor current is zero, it will output a control signal to quickly turn off the rectifier tube. Due to the existence of the on-resistance of the power tube, when the lower power tube LS is freewheeling, the potential of the switch node SW will decrease linearly with the decrease of the inductor current. Therefore, when the inductor current drops to 0, the potential of the switch node SW also decreases to 0. The existing commonly used zero-crossing detection circuits all detect the potential of the switch node SW to detect the inductor current, such as Figure 3 As shown, it is mainly composed of a comparator and a logic drive part. When the upper power tube HS is turned off, the shutdown signal of the upper power tube is delayed by the inverter INV1 and the buffer BUFFER1 to close the switch S1. The switch node SW voltage and the power ground signal PGND are sampled to the comparator COMP's in-phase input and the reverse input for comparison to monitor the inductor current state. In order to offset the non-ideal delay of the comparator COMP and the logic drive part, an artificial resistor R1 and a current source I are set. B The actual potential of the switch node SW is V when the comparator COMP starts to flip. PGND +I B R1, the inductor current IL is greater than 0. When the comparator offset is set appropriately, even if the zero-crossing detection signal requires a long delay to enable, the lower power tube can be turned off before the inductor current crosses zero. In addition, in order to increase the robustness of the circuit design, Figure 3A correction module is added to adjust the comparator offset parameters. When the inductor test engineer performs zero-crossing detection module performance test on the actual chip, he will first enter the chip test mode, at which time the upper power tube of the control chip is turned off and the lower power tube is turned on. Then the inductor test engineer will use external excitation on the test board to slowly reduce the current flowing through the lower power tube LS to the power ground signal PGND to obtain the actual inductor current value when zero-crossing detection is enabled, and use this to adjust the current source I B Correction is made and finally the lower power tube is turned off just when the inductor current IL is 0.
[0020] However, the above zero-crossing detection circuit can only achieve high zero-crossing detection accuracy under a fixed inductor current slope di / dt. When the chip is corrected, the corresponding comparator offset is also fixed. From the current slope calculation formula di / dt=-V_OUT / L during inductor freewheeling, it can be seen that when the chip is in different applications requiring different inductors L and output voltages VOUT, the inductor current slope di / dt will change, causing the lower power tube LS to close ahead or behind, resulting in non-ideal conditions. Figure 4 The waveform diagram of the lower power tube is turned off in advance, so that the body diode D2 of the lower power tube LS is turned on, which increases the number of unbalanced minority carriers stored in the body diode D2, resulting in an increase in the reverse recovery current, and Figure 5 It is a waveform diagram of the delayed shutdown of the lower power tube, which makes the body diode D1 of the upper power tube HS turned on, increasing the number of unbalanced minority carriers stored in the body diode D1 and causing the reverse recovery current to increase. Figure 4 and Figure 5 Both will cause more residual current in the inductor to generate greater ringing at the switch node SW, thereby greatly reducing the chip efficiency.

The current value of the fifth current source I5 is m times the current value of the fourth current source I4. The width-to-length ratio of the seventeenth transistor M17 and the eighteenth transistor M18 is m times the width-to-length ratio of the fifteenth transistor M15 and the sixteenth transistor M16. Those skilled in the art should understand that based on the above-mentioned inventive concept, Figure 6 , 8 -10 should also fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure. In this variation, the transistor and the voltage terminal may also have the same Figure 6 , 8 -10 examples shown with different settings.
[0036] In addition, in the above embodiment, although the zero-crossing detection circuit 600 is described as a Buck type converter, it can be understood that the embodiments of the present disclosure include but are not limited to Buck type, and can also be Boost type, Buck-boost type, motor type, driver type and other power supply circuits involving accurate zero-crossing detection implementation, and are also applicable.
[0037] Furthermore, the present disclosure provides a method corresponding to Figure 6 The zero-crossing detection method of the zero-crossing detection circuit 600 is combined with Figure 6-10The detection method is described in the structural diagram of FIG. 1 , which includes: when the upper power tube is turned off, sampling the voltage signal VSW of the switch node SW at the first sampling clock S1 and the second sampling clock S2 to obtain the first sampling voltage signal VL1 and the second sampling voltage signal VL2 respectively; obtaining the early shutdown amount VOS of the lower power tube according to the second sampling voltage signal VL2 and the first sampling voltage signal VL1; obtaining the zero-crossing detection signal ZCD according to the voltage signal VSW of the switch node SW, the early shutdown amount VOS and the power ground signal VPGND; and turning off the lower power tube based on the effective zero-crossing detection signal ZCD.
[0038] Specifically, when the inductor is in the freewheeling state, the shutdown signal provided by the logic driving module 610 to the lower power tube in the power output stage module 640 will be inverted by the first inverter INV1 and delayed by the first buffer BUFFER1, so that the first switch k1 is closed to sample the voltage signal of the switch node SW to the adaptive offset comparator 630, so as to prevent the voltage signal of the switch node SW from being interfered by the noise when the switch in the power output stage module 640 is switched. Then, the logic driving module 610 enables the sampling and holding module 620, and successively provides the first sampling clock S1 and the second sampling clock S2. The sampling and holding module 620 will close the second switch k2 at the first sampling clock S1, and use the voltage of the switch node SW of the sampling clock to charge the first capacitor C1, so as to obtain the first sampling voltage signal VL1; and close the third switch k3 at the second sampling clock S2, and use the voltage of the switch node SW of the sampling clock to charge the second capacitor C2, so as to obtain the second sampling voltage signal VL2.
[0039] The first sampling clock S1, the second sampling clock S2 provided by the sampling clock circuit 613 in the logic driving module 610 and the start signal LS ON of the lower power tube have the following relationship: the interval time between the start signal LS ON of the lower power tube and the first sampling clock S1 is 0.5 C3 V1 / I1, the interval between the first sampling clock S1 and the second sampling clock S2 (or the moment when the first sampling voltage signal VL1 is obtained) is 0.5 C4 V1 / I 2, the interval between the second sampling clock S2 and the moment of obtaining the second sampling voltage signal VL2 is 0.5 C5 V1 / I3. It is assumed that the flip threshold of the first AND gate G1 and the second AND gate G2 is 50% V1.
[0040] In addition, the transconductance of the transistor can be expressed by the following formula (1): Formula (1) in, is the oxide layer capacitance, is the electron mobility, is the ratio of transistor channel width to length, is the output current of the transistor.
[0041] Because the current value of the fifth current source I5 is m times the current value of the fourth current source I4, and the width-to-length ratio of the seventeenth transistor M17 to the eighteenth transistor M18 is m times the width-to-length ratio of the fifteenth transistor M15 to the sixteenth transistor M16, the following formula (2) can be obtained: Formula (2) in, is the output current of the seventeenth transistor M17 and the eighteenth transistor M18, is the output current of the fifteenth transistor M15 and the sixteenth transistor M16, is the width-to-length ratio of the seventeenth transistor M17 to the eighteenth transistor M18, is the width-to-length ratio of the fifteenth transistor M15 to the sixteenth transistor M16.
[0042] Therefore, the early shutdown amount VOS of the lower power tube can be obtained by the following formula (3): Formula (3) in, is the transconductance of the fifteenth transistor M15 and the sixteenth transistor M16, is the transconductance of the seventeenth transistor M17 and the eighteenth transistor M18.
[0043] In summary, the adaptive offset comparator 630 can be equivalent to Fig.11 When VSW+VOS=VPGND, the zero-crossing detection signal ZCD is a valid signal. By using the valid zero-crossing detection signal ZCD, the lower power tube is turned off just when the inductor current crosses zero. Fig.12 As shown, accurate zero-crossing detection control is achieved.
[0044] The disclosed embodiments can achieve high-precision zero-crossing detection in different output voltage and inductance application scenarios, thereby improving product flexibility while increasing the conversion efficiency of the chip when working in DCM and reducing the ringing of the switch node.
