Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of integrated circuits, and in particular to a power rail structure with wide input voltage and low power consumption in a vehicle-mounted chip. Background Art
[0002] With the development of automobile electrification and intelligence, the design of vehicle power supply becomes more and more important. In the power rail generation circuit of the prior art, the power supply is stabilized by connecting a small resistor in series with a voltage regulator diode, and then a stable voltage rail is generated through the MOS tube source follower structure. When the power supply voltage gradually increases, the voltage drop on the resistor will gradually increase, so that the current in the path becomes larger, causing the power consumption of the entire system to increase. And because the resistor is affected by PVT, it will change at different process feet and temperatures, resulting in unstable current, and the reverse voltage on the voltage regulator diode is also unstable, so the final voltage and power consumption are unstable. Therefore, the structure of the vehicle power supply system of the prior art has defects.
[0003] The invention patent "A Design Method for a Wide Input Auxiliary Voltage Stabilizer Circuit for New Energy Vehicles" Publication No. CN109088540B discloses a wide input auxiliary voltage stabilizer circuit for new energy vehicles. It includes transistors Q1, Q2 and Q3, Zener diodes Z1 and Z2, and resistors R1, R2, R3, R4, R5 and R6; one end of resistor R2 and the anode of Zener diode Z1 are connected to the base of transistor Q1, one end of resistor R3 and the collector of transistor Q1 are connected to the base of transistor Q2, one end of resistor R4 and the collector of transistor Q2 are connected to the base of transistor Q3, and the collector of transistor Q3 is connected to one end of resistor R5 and one end of resistor R6. However, as the input power supply voltage increases, the voltage drop on resistors R1 and R2 gradually increases, resulting in increased power consumption of the entire circuit system.
[0004] The invention patent "Linear voltage regulator circuit and driving unit of power stage circuit based thereon" with publication number CN113271005A discloses a linear voltage regulator circuit, including: a resistor, one end of which is connected to an input voltage; a first MOS tube, whose gate and drain are both connected to the other end of the resistor; a voltage regulator diode, whose negative terminal is connected to the source of the first MOS tube and whose positive terminal is grounded; a second MOS tube, whose gate is simultaneously connected to the resistor and the gate and drain of the first MOS tube, and whose drain is connected to the input voltage; and a capacitor, one end of which is connected to the positive terminal of the voltage regulator diode and then to the ground, and the other end is connected to the source of the second MOS tube, so that a stable power supply voltage can be output from the source of the second MOS tube. However, as the input power supply voltage increases, the voltage drop on the resistor R1 increases, which will cause the power consumption of the entire circuit to increase.
[0005] Therefore, technicians in this field are committed to studying a low-power power rail with a wide input range for an in-vehicle system. Summary of the invention
[0006] In view of the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is how to avoid the change of power consumption under a wide input voltage scenario.
[0007] After analysis, it was found that the reason why the power consumption of the existing structure changes with the input voltage is the instability of the current on the current limiting resistor. If the current of the voltage regulator diode branch can be determined so that the branch current does not change with the input voltage, the power consumption of the vehicle power system will be stable. This application uses a stable current to replace the current limiting resistor to solve the problem of power consumption changing with input voltage.

[0044] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned embodiment of the low-power power rail with wide input range for the vehicle-mounted system, the types of the s parallel-connected NMOS tubes are the same.
[0045] When the power supply voltage gradually rises, the PMOS tube A1 is connected by a diode and is turned on immediately after power is turned on. The gate and source of the depletion-type NMOS tube Q1 are short-circuited, and V GS =0V, due to the threshold voltage V TH is negative, so the depletion-type NMOS tube Q1 is turned on, and the branch current is as follows: in is the electron mobility, represents the gate oxide thickness per unit area, W represents the gate width of the depletion-type NMOS tube Q1, L represents the channel length of the depletion-type NMOS tube Q1, V GS represents the gate-source voltage of the depletion-mode NMOS Q1, V TH Represents the threshold voltage of the depletion-type NMOS tube Q1.
[0046] Due to the depletion type NMOS tube Q1 , Sure, is a process constant. In order to make the branch current as small as possible and the power consumption as low as possible, the channel length L is increased to reduce the current. The purpose of connecting the depletion-type NMOS tubes Q2, ..., and Qk in series is to increase the L of the depletion-type NMOS tube Q1. The connection mode of the j depletion-type NMOS tubes in series is the same as that of the k depletion-type NMOS tubes in series. When the input power supply voltage VDD is greater than or equal to 24V, the j depletion-type NMOS tubes in series play a role of withstanding high voltage. The generated current is determined by the k depletion-type NMOS tubes in series. Therefore, the branch current size I0 can be determined by controlling the channel length, width and number of the k depletion-type NMOS tubes in series. The i parallel PMOS tubes and the m parallel PMOS tubes in the form of diode connection form a current mirror structure. The current I0 of the i parallel PMOS tube branch is copied to the current I1 of the voltage-stabilizing diode D1 branch. The proportion of current copy is achieved by controlling the number of the m parallel PMOS tubes, which is expressed by the following formula: Therefore, the current I1 flowing through the Zener diode D1 is determined. Under the action of the reverse current, the clamping voltage V1 of the Zener diode D1 generates the voltage rail V2 through the source follower structure of the NMOS tube N1. V2=V1-V GS .
[0047] Since the branch current I0 of the i parallel PMOS tubes and the branch current I1 of the voltage stabilizing diode D1 are determined and do not change with the input voltage VDD, the problem of current change caused by input voltage change in the current limiting resistor in the existing structure is solved.
[0048] Based on the above embodiments, in another embodiment of the present invention, a driving chip of an in-vehicle system is provided, which is provided with a wide input range and low power consumption power rail for the in-vehicle system in any of the above embodiments.
[0049] The present invention improves the power rail generation of the prior art by changing the original structure of a resistor plus a voltage-stabilizing diode into a structure of a PMOS tube plus a voltage-stabilizing diode, thereby better controlling the power consumption of the system and keeping it in a stable power consumption state within a wider voltage input range.
[0050] The concept, specific structure and technical effects of the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings to fully understand the purpose, characteristics and effects of the present invention. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0051] Figure 1 is a schematic structural diagram illustrating a power supply generating circuit inside a vehicle system chip of the prior art according to an exemplary embodiment; Figure 2is a schematic diagram illustrating a structure of a wide input range low power consumption power rail for an in-vehicle system according to an exemplary embodiment; Figure 3 is a schematic diagram illustrating the structure of a driving chip of a vehicle-mounted system according to an exemplary embodiment. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0052] The following describes several preferred embodiments of the present invention with reference to the drawings in the specification, so that the technical content is clearer and easier to understand. The present invention can be embodied in many different forms of embodiments, and the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the embodiments mentioned in the text.
[0053] In the drawings, components with the same structure are indicated by the same numerical reference numerals, and components with similar structures or functions are indicated by similar numerical reference numerals. The size and thickness of each component shown in the drawings are arbitrarily shown, and the present invention does not limit the size and thickness of each component. In order to make the illustration clearer, the thickness of the components is schematically exaggerated in some places in the drawings.
[0054] like Figure 1 As shown, in the internal power generation circuit of the vehicle system chip of the prior art, the power supply is stabilized by connecting a small resistor in series with a voltage regulator diode, and then a stable voltage rail is generated through the MOS tube source follower structure. When the power supply voltage gradually increases, the voltage drop on the resistor will gradually increase, so that the current in the path becomes larger, causing the power consumption of the entire system to increase. And because the resistor is affected by PVT, it will change at different process feet and temperatures, resulting in unstable current, and the reverse voltage on the voltage regulator diode is also unstable, so the voltage and power consumption generated in the end are unstable.
[0055] It can be seen that the reason why the power consumption of the existing structure changes with the input voltage is the instability of the current on the current limiting resistor. If the current of the voltage-stabilizing diode branch can be determined so that the branch current does not change with the input voltage, the power consumption of the vehicle power system will be stable. This application uses a stable current to replace the current limiting resistor to solve the problem of power consumption changing with the input voltage.

[0057] When the power supply voltage gradually rises, the PMOS tube A1 is connected by a diode and is turned on immediately after power is turned on. The gate and source of the depletion-type NMOS tube Q1 are short-circuited, and V GS =0V, due to the threshold voltage V TH is negative, so the depletion-type NMOS tube Q1 is turned on, and the branch current is as follows: in is the electron mobility, represents the gate oxide thickness per unit area, W represents the gate width of the depletion-type NMOS tube Q1, L represents the channel length of the depletion-type NMOS tube Q1, V GS represents the gate-source voltage of the depletion-mode NMOS Q1, V TH Represents the threshold voltage of the depletion-type NMOS tube Q1.
[0058] Due to the depletion type NMOS tube Q1 , Sure, is a process constant. In order to make the branch current as small as possible and the power consumption as low as possible, the channel length L is increased to reduce the current. The purpose of connecting the depletion-type NMOS tubes Q2, ..., and Qk in series is to increase the L of the depletion-type NMOS tube Q1. The connection mode of the j depletion-type NMOS tubes in series is the same as that of the k depletion-type NMOS tubes in series. When the input power supply voltage VDD is greater than or equal to 24V, the j depletion-type NMOS tubes in series play a role of withstanding high voltage. The generated current is determined by the k depletion-type NMOS tubes in series. Therefore, the branch current size I0 can be determined by controlling the channel length, width and number of the k depletion-type NMOS tubes in series. The i parallel PMOS tubes and the m parallel PMOS tubes in the form of diode connection form a current mirror structure. The current I0 of the i parallel PMOS tube branch is copied to the current I1 of the voltage-stabilizing diode D1 branch. The proportion of current copy is achieved by controlling the number of the m parallel PMOS tubes, which is expressed by the following formula: Therefore, the current I1 flowing through the Zener diode D1 is determined. Under the action of the reverse current, the clamping voltage V1 of the Zener diode D1 generates the voltage rail V2 through the source follower structure of the NMOS tube N1. V2=V1-V GS .
[0059] Since the branch current I0 of the i parallel PMOS tubes and the branch current I1 of the voltage stabilizing diode D1 are determined and do not change with the input voltage VDD, the problem of current change caused by input voltage change in the current limiting resistor in the existing structure is solved.
