Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention. In addition, it should be understood that the specific implementation methods described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0032] The present invention provides a radio frequency circuit, including a radio frequency switch circuit and a radio frequency switch protection circuit; wherein the radio frequency switch circuit is mainly used to switch signals between different circuit paths, and the radio frequency switch circuit protection circuit can protect the radio frequency switch circuit to ensure the signal switching capability and communication efficiency of the radio frequency switch circuit. The radio frequency circuit provided by the present invention is described in detail below.

[0033] like Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of a radio frequency circuit provided by the present invention. Figure 1In the embodiment, the RF circuit includes a plurality of cascaded RF switch circuits, which can perform signal switching to switch between receiving or transmitting modes, or distribute signals between different antennas and receiver circuits; the RF circuit also includes an RF switch protection circuit, which is usually electrically connected to the RF switch circuit to protect the RF switch circuit. In some embodiments, the plurality of cascaded RF switch circuits include a target RF switch circuit, which in turn includes a first transistor 10; and the RF switch protection circuit may include a protection diode 20 and a protection switch 30, which are both connected to the first transistor 10 in the RF switch circuit to protect the first transistor 10.

[0034] Specifically, the protection diode 20 in the present application may include an anode and a cathode, the cathode of the protection diode 20 is coupled to the control end of the first transistor 10, the anode of the protection diode 20 is coupled to the first end of the protection switch 30, the second end of the protection switch 30 is grounded, and the control end of the protection switch 30 is coupled to the first transistor 10. When the gate-source voltage of the first transistor 10 turns on the first transistor 10, that is, the target RF switch circuit is turned on, and the target RF switch circuit works normally; at this time, the protection switch will also be turned on accordingly, and the cathode of the protection diode 20 is connected to the gate of the first transistor 10, so that the cathode of the protection diode 20 is connected to a high potential, and the protection diode 20 is reversely cut off at this time, thereby protecting the RF circuit, and the protection switch 30 in the turned-on state will not affect the protection of the protection diode 20 on the RF circuit. In other embodiments, when the gate-source voltage of the first transistor 10 turns on the first transistor 10, the protection switch 30 is also turned on accordingly; if the first transistor 10 is overloaded, the gate-source voltage of the first transistor 10 is greater than the reverse breakdown voltage of the protection diode 20, and the protection diode is reversely broken down, which can also play a role in protecting the RF switch circuit. When the gate-source voltage of the first transistor cannot turn on the first transistor, the first transistor and the protection switch are both turned off, and the protection diode is also turned off to protect the target RF switch circuit. The principle of the RF switch protection circuit protecting the RF switch circuit is described in detail in the subsequent embodiments and is not limited here.

[0035] Continue to refer Figure 1 The first transistor 10 may include a source, a drain and a gate, and the gate of the first transistor 10 may serve as a control terminal of the first transistor 10 .

[0036] In this embodiment, the protection switch 30 may be a protection transistor 30 , which may also include a source, a drain and a gate. The gate of the protection transistor 30 may serve as a control terminal of the protection switch 30 .

[0037] In this embodiment, the source and drain of the first transistor 10 are both doped with the first conductivity type, and the source and drain of the protection transistor 30 are also doped with the first conductivity type. The drain of the protection transistor 30 serves as the first end of the protection switch 30, and the source of the protection transistor 30 serves as the second end of the protection switch 30. At this time, the gate of the protection transistor 30 is connected to the gate of the first transistor 10, and the source of the protection transistor 30 is connected to the substrate of the first transistor 10.

[0038] Specifically, when the protection switch 30 is a protection transistor 30, if the gate-source voltage of the first transistor 10 is greater than the forward conduction voltage of the first transistor 10 itself, the first transistor 10 is forward-conducted, and the gate-source voltage of the first transistor 10 is greater than or equal to the forward conduction voltage of the protection transistor 30; when the gate of the protection transistor 30 is connected to the gate of the first transistor 10, so that the gate of the protection transistor 30 is connected to a high potential signal, the protection transistor 30 will also be forward-conducted. The anode of the protection diode 20 is connected to the drain of the protection transistor 30, and the cathode of the protection diode 20 is connected to the gate of the first transistor 10, so that the anode potential of the protection diode 20 is the same as the drain potential of the protection transistor 30, and is a low potential, and the cathode potential of the protection diode 20 is the same as the gate potential of the first transistor 10, and is a high potential. At this time, since the anode potential of the protection diode 20 is lower than the cathode potential of the protection diode, the protection diode is in a reverse working state.

[0039] In this embodiment, if the gate-source voltage of the first transistor 10 is less than the reverse breakdown voltage of the protection diode 20, that is, the voltage across the protection diode 20 is less than its own reverse breakdown voltage, then the protection diode 20 is in a reverse cut-off state. If the first transistor 10 is overloaded, that is, the gate-source voltage of the first transistor 10 is much greater than its own forward conduction voltage and much greater than the forward conduction voltage of the protection transistor 30, the first transistor 10 and the protection transistor 30 are both normally turned on, and at this time, the gate-source voltage of the first transistor 10 is greater than the reverse breakdown voltage of the protection diode 20, and the protection diode 20 is reversely broken down.

[0040] In summary, when the first transistor 10 and the protection transistor 30 are forward-conducted, no matter whether the protection diode 20 is in a reverse cutoff state or a reverse breakdown state, the protection diode 20 is not forward-conducted, so it can play a certain voltage dividing role, thereby protecting the RF circuit.

[0041] In other embodiments, when the gate-source voltage of the first transistor 10 is 0 or negative, the first transistor 10 is turned off, and the gate-source voltage of the protection transistor 30 also becomes 0 or negative, and both cannot be forward-conducted, and are both in the cut-off or off state. At this time, the cathode of the protection diode 20 is connected to the gate of the first transistor 10, and the cathode of the protection diode 20 is 0 or negative; the anode of the protection diode 20 is connected to the drain of the protection transistor, and the first transistor 10 in the present application will generate a substrate ripple voltage, so that the drain of the protection transistor 30 is at a high potential, and then the anode of the protection diode 20 connected to the drain of the protection transistor 30 is at a high potential. At this time, the anode potential of the protection diode 20 is greater than the cathode potential of the protection diode 20, and the two ends of the protection diode are forward voltages, and the protection diode may be forward cut-off or forward-conducting. However, in the embodiment of the present application, the substrate ripple voltage of the first transistor is usually required to be less than the forward conduction voltage of the protection diode 20, so that the protection diode 20 cannot be forward-conducted, thereby isolating the substrate ripple voltage of the first transistor, avoiding the influence of the substrate ripple voltage on the first transistor 10, and protecting the RF switch circuit. That is, when the first transistor 10 and the protection transistor 30 are at 0 or negative voltage, the protection diode 20 can effectively isolate the substrate ripple voltage, thereby protecting the RF switch circuit.

[0042] In actual RF circuits, since the ripple substrate voltage fluctuates, the forward conduction voltage of the protection diode 20 usually needs to be greater than the maximum value of the ripple substrate voltage. In other embodiments, the forward conduction voltage of the protection diode 20 can be an adjustable voltage; that is, the forward conduction voltage of the protection diode 20 can be adjusted.

[0043] In the embodiment of the present application, the forward conduction voltage of the protection diode 20 can be adjusted by adjusting the doping ranges of the first conductive type doping region and the second conductive type doping region in the protection diode 20, that is, adjusting the doping ranges of the anode and the cathode in the protection diode 20, so as to be suitable for RF circuits of different powers.

[0044] In the embodiment of the present application, the first transistor 10 and the protection transistor 30 in the radio frequency circuit are transistors of the same type, for example, the first transistor 10 and the protection transistor 30 are both enhancement transistors.

[0045] In a specific embodiment, both the first transistor 10 and the protection transistor 30 are NMOS transistors. In this solution, by using an NMOS transistor as the protection transistor 30, the protection transistor 30 quickly conducts the overload voltage during reverse cutoff or reverse breakdown to avoid damage to the RF switch circuit, thereby meeting the speed requirements of the RF switch circuit for the transistor.

[0046] In some other embodiments, the first transistor and the protection transistor may both be PMOS transistors.

[0047] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of another embodiment of the structure of the radio frequency circuit provided in the embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 and Figure 2 ,exist Figure 2 In the illustrated embodiment, the RF circuit also includes a plurality of cascaded RF switch circuits, the plurality of cascaded RF switch circuits include a target RF switch circuit, and the target RF switch circuit includes a first transistor 10; the RF switch protection circuit includes a protection diode 20 and a protection switch 30, and the protection diode 20 and the protection switch 30 are both connected to the first transistor in the RF switch circuit to protect the first transistor.

[0048] In this embodiment, Figure 1 The RF circuit shown is different in that Figure 2 In the circuit shown, although the protection diode 20 and the protection switch 30 are both connected to the first transistor 10 in the RF switch circuit, the connection relationship is not the same; when the protection switch 30 is a protection transistor 30, the types of the first transistor 10 and the protection transistor 30 are also the same. Figure 1 The first transistor 10 and the protection transistor 30 are of different types.

[0049] Specifically, the carrier type of the conductive channel of the first transistor 10 of the RF switch circuit is the second conductive type, and the source and drain of the first transistor 10 are both doped with the second conductive type; when the protection switch 30 is a protection transistor 30, the carrier type of the conductive channel of the protection transistor 30 is also the second conductive type, and the source and drain of the protection transistor 30 are both doped with the second conductive type. For example, the second conductive type and the second conductive type doping are both P-type, and both are PMOS transistors. At this time, the source of the protection transistor 30 serves as the first end of the protection switch 30, and the drain of the protection transistor 30 serves as the second end of the protection switch 30. The gate of the protection transistor 30 is connected to the substrate of the first transistor 10, the drain of the protection transistor 30 is also connected to the substrate of the first transistor 10, and the source of the protection transistor 30 is connected to the second conductive type doping region of the protection diode 20 (i.e., the anode of the protection diode); the first conductive type doping region of the protection diode 20 (i.e., the cathode of the protection diode) is connected to the gate of the first transistor 10.

[0050] In this embodiment, when the gate-source voltage of the first transistor 10 is greater than the forward conduction voltage of the first transistor 10, the first transistor 10 is forward-conducted; and the gate and drain of the protection transistor 30 are connected to the substrate of the first transistor 10, and the substrate of the first transistor 10 is usually in a 0 potential state, so that the gate and drain of the protection transistor 30 are also in a 0 potential state (the influence of the ripple substrate voltage is not considered at this time); the source of the protection transistor 30 and the anode of the protection diode 20 are connected to a negative potential, so the gate-source voltage of the protection transistor 30 is negative and less than the threshold voltage of the protection transistor 30, and the protection transistor 30 is in an open state and in a normally open state. The cathode of the protection diode 20 is connected to the gate of the first transistor 10 and is at a high potential, and the anode of the protection diode 20 is connected to the drain of the first transistor 10 and is at a low potential; therefore, the cathode potential of the protection diode 20 is greater than the anode potential of the protection diode 20, and the protection diode 20 is in a reverse state. If the voltage difference across the protection diode 20 is greater than the reverse cut-off voltage of the protection diode 20, the protection diode 20 is reverse cut-off; if the voltage difference across the protection diode 20 is further greater than the reverse breakdown voltage of the protection diode 20, the protection diode 20 is reversely broken down. Whether the protection diode 20 is reverse cut-off or reversely broken down, it does not affect the protection effect of the protection diode 20. Since the protection transistor 30 is in a normally open state and the protection diode 20 is in a reverse state, the protection transistor 30 and the protection diode 20 can both play a voltage dividing role, thereby protecting the RF switch circuit.

[0051] Similarly, if the first transistor 10 is overloaded, the first transistor 10 is forward-conducted; the gate and drain of the protection transistor 30 are connected to the substrate of the first transistor 10 and are in a 0 potential state, and the source of the protection transistor 30 is connected to the anode of the protection diode 20 and is in a negative potential. Therefore, the gate-source voltage of the protection transistor 30 is negative and less than the threshold voltage of the protection transistor 30, and the protection transistor 30 is in a forward-conducting state. The cathode potential of the protection diode 20 is greater than the anode potential of the protection diode 20, and the protection diode 20 is in a reverse state. The forward-conducting protection transistor 30 can quickly conduct the overloaded voltage, and the protection diode 20 can also be reversely cut off or reversely broken down to avoid the flow of the overloaded voltage. At this time, the protection transistor 30 and the protection diode 20 can also play the role of protecting the RF switch circuit.

[0052] In this embodiment, when the gate-source voltage of the first transistor 10 is a positive value less than the threshold voltage of the first transistor 10, the first transistor 10 is forward cutoff and cannot be turned on; at this time, the gate and drain of the protection transistor 30 are connected to the substrate of the first transistor 10, and the substrate of the first transistor 10 generates a ripple voltage so that the gate and drain of the protection transistor 30 are at a high potential, while the source of the protection transistor 30 is at a low potential state. At this time, the gate voltage of the protection transistor 30 is greater than the source voltage of the protection transistor, so that the protection transistor 30 cannot be forward-conducted and is in an off state, and the ripple voltage cannot pass through the protection transistor 30 and cannot reach the protection diode 20. At this time, there is no voltage or voltage difference between the two ends of the protection diode 20; therefore, the protection transistor 30 can effectively isolate the influence of the ripple voltage on the RF switch circuit at this time, and play a role in protecting the RF switch circuit.

[0053] It should be noted that in the above embodiments, the opening or closing of the first transistor 10, the protection transistor 30 and the protection diode 20 include but are not limited to: forward / reverse conduction, forward / reverse breakdown, forward / reverse cutoff caused by a voltage difference between the two ends but the voltage difference is less than the threshold voltage, and cutoff caused by the absence of voltage at both ends, and other different states.

[0054] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the RF circuit provided in the present application, the target RF switch circuit may further include an impedance matching circuit and a capacitive reactance matching circuit. The impedance matching circuit includes a first resistor circuit and a second resistor circuit, the first resistor circuit is coupled to the gate of the first transistor 10, and the second resistor circuit is coupled to the source and drain of the first transistor 10. The capacitive reactance matching circuit includes a capacitor circuit, the capacitor circuit is connected in parallel with the second resistor circuit, and is coupled to the source and drain of the first transistor 10.

[0055] In this embodiment, the first resistance circuit and the second resistance circuit may each include one or more resistors or resistance devices, and the capacitor circuit may include one or more capacitors or capacitor devices, which is not limited in this application.

[0056] In the embodiment of the present application, there is one RF switch protection circuit and it is connected to the target RF switch circuit. In other embodiments, there may be multiple RF switch protection circuits, and the multiple RF switch protection circuits are respectively electrically connected to multiple cascaded RF switch circuits; the connection relationship between the RF switch protection circuit and the RF switch circuit, and the specific structure of the RF switch protection circuit can refer to the contents in the aforementioned embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

The description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand the method of the present invention and its core idea. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, according to the idea of ​​the present invention, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope.
