Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of electronic circuits, and in particular to a radio frequency power supply circuit and an electronic device. Background Art

[0002] The RF source module is generally composed of a signal source, a driver stage, and a power amplifier stage. The power tube is the core component of the power amplifier stage. In some applications, the load of the power amplifier stage is usually dynamically changing, resulting in an impedance mismatch between the power amplifier stage and its load. The common solution is to use a matcher to adjust the load adaptation state, but the matcher usually uses a motor-driven adjustable capacitor to find the impedance adaptation point. Due to the motor stroke problem, a relatively large delay is usually generated, causing the power tube to work in a mismatched state. When the power tube works in a mismatched state, the output power will be reflected back to the power tube from the load end, causing the voltage stress of the power tube to exceed the standard, which is easy to cause overstress damage to the power tube.

[0003] Existing RF sources generally use multiple power amplifier modules for power synthesis to achieve a larger power output. The incident power and reflected power are detected at the output end of the RF power supply to ensure that the working state of the matcher is corrected under abnormal reflection conditions to achieve complete load matching. During the matching device adjustment process, the power tube is prone to overvoltage stress; on the other hand, the working conditions of each power amplifier module are not exactly the same, and individual power tubes may be in an overvoltage state.

[0026] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 The RF power circuit 100 includes a power module 10 , a first inductor L1 , a power tube Q, a peak detection module 20 and a control module 30 .

[0027] Among them, the first end of the first inductor L1 is connected to the power module 10; the first end of the power tube Q is connected to the second end of the first inductor L1 and coupled to the load, the second end of the power tube Q is grounded, and the control end of the power tube Q is configured to input a radio frequency signal; the peak detection module 20 is connected to the first end of the power tube Q, and the peak detection module 20 is configured to obtain the peak voltage of the first end of the power tube Q; the control module 30 is connected to the peak detection module 20 and the power module 10, and the control module 30 is configured to control the power module 10 to reduce the output voltage when the peak voltage is greater than the first voltage threshold.

[0028] Specifically, in the RF power supply circuit 100, the power tube Q is used to amplify the input RF signal, so as to output a sufficiently large power signal to effectively drive the load. The voltage at the first end of the power tube Q is one of the important parameters reflecting the working state of the power tube Q. By real-time monitoring of the voltage value, it is possible to understand whether the power tube Q is in a normal working state, including whether there are abnormal conditions such as overvoltage and undervoltage. Among them, the power tube Q can be a MOS transistor, specifically an NMOS transistor, and its working state is controlled by the gate (i.e., control terminal) voltage signal of the NMOS transistor. When the gate voltage signal is at a high level, the NMOS transistor is in an on state, and when the gate voltage signal is at a low level, the NMOS transistor is in an off state. In other embodiments, the power tube Q can also be a semiconductor device such as a PMOS tube, a triode, etc., which are not listed here one by one.

[0029] Among them, in addition to filtering and energy storage, the first inductor L1 can also improve the transient response of the circuit to a certain extent. When the circuit current changes rapidly, the first inductor L1 can slow down the rate of current change, maintain the stability of the current, and reduce the impact on the power module 10, thereby protecting the power module 10 and the power tube Q.

[0030] In one embodiment, the control module 30 may be an MCU (Microcontroller Unit) with an ADC conversion function. The control module 30 is connected to the power module 10 through a communication connection, and the output voltage of the power module 10 is controlled by the communication instruction of the control module 30. The control module 30 collects the peak voltage of the first end of the power tube Q, converts it into a digital signal, and compares it with the first voltage threshold to determine whether the power tube Q is in an overvoltage state. When the power tube Q is in an overvoltage state, the percentage of the peak voltage of the first end of the power tube Q exceeding the first voltage threshold is calculated, and the power module 10 is notified to reduce the output voltage in proportion according to the percentage, thereby reducing the output power, thereby reducing the peak voltage of the first end of the power tube Q, and realizing overvoltage protection of the power tube Q.

[0031] It can be understood that the present application directly monitors the peak voltage of the power tube Q through the peak detection module 20, and adjusts the output voltage of the power module 10 through the control module 30, thereby ensuring that the power tube Q operates within a safe voltage range, achieving overvoltage protection of the power tube Q, and improving the reliability of the system.

[0032] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the second embodiment of the radio frequency power supply circuit provided in the present application. The radio frequency power supply circuit 100 comprises: a power supply module 10 , a first inductor L1 , a power tube Q, a peak detection module 20 and a control module 30 .

[0033] Among them, the first end of the first inductor L1 is connected to the power module 10; the first end of the power tube Q is connected to the second end of the first inductor L1 and coupled to the load, the second end of the power tube Q is grounded, and the control end of the power tube Q is configured to input a radio frequency signal; the peak detection module 20 is connected to the first end of the power tube Q, and the peak detection module 20 is configured to obtain the peak voltage of the first end of the power tube Q; the control module 30 is connected to the peak detection module 20 and the power module 10, and the control module 30 is configured to control the power module 10 to reduce the output voltage when the peak voltage is greater than the first voltage threshold.

[0034] In some embodiments, the peak detection module 20 includes: a voltage divider unit 21 and a peak holding unit 22. The voltage divider unit 21 is connected to the first end of the power tube Q, and the voltage divider unit 21 is configured to divide the voltage of the first end of the power tube Q; the peak holding unit 22 is connected to the voltage division node of the voltage divider unit 21 and the control module 30, and the peak holding unit 22 is configured to hold the peak value of the voltage after the voltage division of the voltage divider unit 21, so that the control module 30 detects the peak value of the voltage after the voltage division, thereby determining the peak voltage of the first end of the power tube Q.

[0035] In some embodiments, the peak holding unit 22 includes: a diode D1, a first capacitor C1 and a first resistor R1. The anode of the diode D1 is connected to the voltage dividing node of the voltage dividing unit 21, and the cathode of the diode D1 is connected to the control module 30; the first end of the first capacitor C1 is connected to the cathode of the diode D1, and the second end of the first capacitor C1 is grounded; the first end of the first resistor R1 is connected to the first end of the first capacitor C1, and the second end of the first resistor R1 is grounded.

[0036] Specifically, the diode D1 is a radio frequency detection diode D1, which is used to detect, measure and convert radio frequency signals; the voltage divider unit 21 is used to reduce the voltage at the first end of the power tube Q to meet the working voltage of the diode D1. According to Ohm's law and the voltage division principle of the series circuit, by adjusting the resistance ratio of the voltage in the voltage divider unit 21, the voltage value after the voltage division can be accurately controlled. The voltage after the voltage division should be lower than the maximum reverse working voltage of the diode D1 to avoid damaging the diode D1. In one embodiment, the voltage divider unit 21 may include multiple resistors, such as the eleventh resistor R11 and the twelfth resistor R12.

[0037] Specifically, when the forward voltage of the diode D1 (ie, the voltage of the anode relative to the cathode) is lower than its conduction voltage, the diode D1 is cut off; when the forward voltage is higher than the conduction voltage, the diode D1 is turned on, allowing current to pass.

[0038] In one embodiment, when the power tube Q works normally, the waveform of the voltage outputted from the first end of the power tube Q is a steamed bun wave of tens to hundreds of volts. When the voltage at the first end of the power tube Q after being divided by the voltage divider unit 21 meets the conduction condition of the diode D1, the diode D1 will be briefly turned on, allowing current to pass through and charge the first capacitor C1; during the conduction period of the diode D1, the first capacitor C1 will be charged to a peak voltage close to the input signal (i.e., the voltage at the first end of the power tube Q after the voltage is divided). Due to the energy storage characteristics of the first capacitor C1, even if the input signal drops, the voltage on the first capacitor C1 will be maintained for a period of time, thereby realizing the peak holding function. After the peak holding, the waveform of the voltage outputted from the first end of the power tube Q is converted from a steamed bun wave voltage to a slowly changing DC voltage.

[0039] Specifically, the first resistor R1 is a discharge resistor, which is used to discharge the voltage of the first capacitor C1. When the peak voltage of the input signal of the first capacitor C1 does not need to be maintained, the first resistor R1 provides a discharge path, allowing the charge on the first capacitor C1 to be slowly released to the ground through the first resistor R1. The resistance value of the first resistor R1 and the capacitance value of the first capacitor C1 jointly determine the discharge time constant, that is, the time required for the voltage on the first capacitor C1 to drop to a certain level. The time constant is determined by the product of the first capacitor C1 and the first resistor R1. The larger the time constant, the slower the voltage on the first capacitor C1 changes and the longer the peak holding time; conversely, the smaller the time constant, the faster the voltage on the first capacitor C1 changes and the shorter the peak holding time.

[0040] It can be understood that the peak voltage in the high voltage sinusoidal wave signal on the first end of the power tube Q is effectively extracted through the peak holding unit 22 and maintained in the form of a DC voltage. By adjusting the peak holding time, it helps to accurately capture the peak voltage, reduce errors, and improve the accuracy of signal processing.

[0041] See also Figure 3 , Figure 3 The third embodiment of the radio frequency power supply circuit provided in the present application is shown in FIG. 1. The radio frequency power supply circuit 100 includes: a power supply module 10 , a first inductor L1 , a power tube Q, a peak detection module 20 and a control module 30 .

[0042] Among them, the first end of the first inductor L1 is connected to the power module 10; the first end of the power tube Q is connected to the second end of the first inductor L1 and coupled to the load, the second end of the power tube Q is grounded, and the control end of the power tube Q is configured to input a radio frequency signal; the peak detection module 20 is connected to the first end of the power tube Q, and the peak detection module 20 is configured to obtain the peak voltage of the first end of the power tube Q; the control module 30 is connected to the peak detection module 20 and the power module 10, and the control module 30 is configured to control the power module 10 to reduce the output voltage when the peak voltage is greater than the first voltage threshold.

[0043] Figure 3 The RF power supply circuit 100 shown in FIG. Figure 2 The main difference of the RF power supply circuit 100 shown in FIG. 1 is that the power detection module 40 and the components added to the RF power supply circuit 100 are added. Therefore, the following mainly describes the power detection module 40 and the components added to the RF power supply circuit 100. For other components in the RF power supply circuit 100, please refer to FIG. Figure 2 The relevant description of the embodiment shown, for example Figure 3 The peak holding unit 22 in FIG. Figure 2 The description of the peak holding unit 22 in FIG. 2 is omitted here.

[0044] In some embodiments, the RF power supply circuit 100 also includes a power detection module 40, which is coupled to the first end of the power tube Q and connected to the control module 30 and the load. The power detection module 40 is configured to obtain the output power of the first end of the power tube Q. The control module 30 is configured to: when the peak voltage is less than the second voltage threshold, control the power supply module 10 to increase the output voltage; or when the output power is less than the power threshold, control the power supply module 10 to increase the output voltage.

[0045] Specifically, after the control module 30 controls the output voltage of the power module 10 to decrease, when the voltage at the first end of the power tube Q is less than the second voltage threshold, the power tube Q enters an undervoltage state, and the control module 30 detects the voltage at the first end of the power tube Q at this time, and calculates the percentage of it being lower than the second voltage threshold; at the same time, the power detection module 40 obtains the voltage V and current I outputted from the first end of the power tube Q, and calculates the power value at this time according to the voltage V and the current I, and the control module 30 obtains the power value as the actual output power of the first end of the power tube Q, and calculates the percentage of it being less than the power threshold; the smaller value of the two percentages is taken, and the power module 10 is controlled to increase the output voltage proportionally according to this percentage, so as to increase the output power until the normal output power is reached. In the adjustment process, the adjustment speed of the overvoltage of the power tube Q is faster than the speed of the undervoltage of the power tube Q.

[0046] In some embodiments, the RF power supply circuit 100 includes: a second capacitor C2, a second inductor L2, a third capacitor C3 and a fourth capacitor C4. The first end of the second capacitor C2 is connected to the first end of the power tube Q, and the second end of the second capacitor C2 is grounded; the first end of the second inductor L2 is connected to the first end of the power end; the first end of the third capacitor C3 is connected to the second end of the second inductor L2, and the second end of the third capacitor C3 is grounded; the first end of the fourth capacitor C4 is connected to the second end of the second inductor L2, and the second end of the fourth capacitor C4 is connected to the load; wherein the power detection module 40 is connected to the second end of the second inductor L2.

[0047] Specifically, the second capacitor C2, the second inductor L2 and the third capacitor C3 constitute a first matching network, which is used to achieve a good match between the output impedance of the power tube Q and the load impedance to ensure that the maximum power is transmitted to the load end. The second capacitor C2 and the third capacitor C3 are used to adjust the capacitive part in the matching network, and the second inductor L2 is used to adjust the inductive part of the matching network; the fourth capacitor C4 mainly functions to isolate the DC component and allow the AC signal (i.e., the RF signal) to pass.

[0048] In one application scenario, the rated maximum operating voltage of the power tube Q is set to 150V, and the first voltage threshold of the power tube Q is set to 130V. If the actual operating voltage of the power tube Q obtained by the control module 30 is 140V, and an overvoltage occurs, the control module 30 calculates the overvoltage percentage to be 7.7%. If the output voltage of the power module 10 is 40V at this time, the control module 30 will control the power module 10 to reduce the output voltage by 7.7%. After the first adjustment is completed, the operating voltage of the power tube Q is measured again. If the actual operating voltage of the power tube Q is 132V at this time, that is, the overvoltage percentage is 1.5%, then the output voltage of the power module 10 will continue to be reduced by 1.5%, and it will be adjusted successively until the operating voltage of the power tube Q is less than or equal to the first voltage threshold.

[0049] When the load state returns to normal, after the above-mentioned voltage reduction adjustment process, the output power of the power tube Q is less than the power threshold at this time, and the output power of the power tube Q needs to be restored to normal at this time. The specific method is: if the actual working voltage of the power tube Q is 100V at this time, the power threshold is set to 1KW, and the actual operating power is 900W, then the undervoltage percentage of the power tube Q is 23%, and the underpower percentage is 10%, then the power threshold takes the smaller percentage of the two, that is, 10%, and the control module 30 controls the power module 10 to increase the output voltage by half of the underpower percentage of 10%, that is, 5%. After this adjustment, the control module 30 obtains the working voltage and output power of the power tube Q again. If the working voltage of the power tube Q is 108V at this time, and the actual operating power is 960W, that is, the undervoltage percentage is 17%, and the underpower percentage is 4%, then take the smaller percentage of the two, that is, 4%, then the control module 30 controls the output voltage of the power module 10 to increase by half of the underpower percentage, that is, 2%, and the output voltage of the power module 10 is increased again. After multiple rounds of adjustment, the power threshold is finally reached.

[0050] It can be understood that, through the second capacitor C2, the second inductor L2, and the third capacitor C3, a good match between the output impedance of the power tube Q and the load impedance is achieved, thereby reducing the risk of load mismatch; the fourth capacitor C4 can protect the load end from the influence of the DC voltage to ensure the safe operation of the load end; the output power of the power tube Q is monitored and adjusted in real time through the power detection module 40 and the control module 30, realizing the undervoltage / underpower protection of the power tube Q, ensuring the normal operating power of the power tube Q, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the entire circuit.

[0051] See also Figure 4 , Figure 4 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the fourth embodiment of the radio frequency power supply circuit provided in the present application. The radio frequency power supply circuit 100 comprises: a power supply module 10 , a first inductor L1 , a power tube Q, a peak detection module 20 and a control module 30 .

[0052] Among them, the first end of the first inductor L1 is connected to the power module 10; the first end of the power tube Q is connected to the second end of the first inductor L1 and coupled to the load, the second end of the power tube Q is grounded, and the control end of the power tube Q is configured to input a radio frequency signal; the peak detection module 20 is connected to the first end of the power tube Q, and the peak detection module 20 is configured to obtain the peak voltage of the first end of the power tube Q; the control module 30 is connected to the peak detection module 20 and the power module 10, and the control module 30 is configured to control the power module 10 to reduce the output voltage when the peak voltage is greater than the first voltage threshold.

Figure 3 The main difference of the RF power supply circuit 100 shown in FIG. 1 is that the description of the components added to the RF power supply circuit 100 is added. Therefore, the following mainly describes the components added to the RF power supply circuit 100. For other components in the RF power supply circuit 100, please refer to FIG. Figure 3 The relevant description of the embodiment shown, for example Figure 4 The second capacitor C2, the second inductor L2 and the third capacitor C3 in FIG. Figure 3 The description of the second capacitor C2, the second inductor L2 and the third capacitor C3 will not be repeated here.

[0054] In some embodiments, the RF power supply circuit 100 further includes: a fifth capacitor C5 and a sixth capacitor C6.
