Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to integrated circuit design technology, and in particular to a system for closing power consumption of an auxiliary starting circuit. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of portable devices, higher requirements are placed on the power consumption of circuits. Under the same power conditions, low-power chips can work longer and will have more advantages in the same products.

[0003] Since the bias current reference circuit (BIAS), bandgap reference circuit (BGR) and other circuits have "degenerate" bias points (there are at least two balanced operating points in the circuit, one of which is the zero point, that is, the current in each branch of the core module is zero, the circuit is turned off and can remain in the off state indefinitely; the other is the normal operating point), the circuit may not work after the power is turned on. This problem is called the startup problem of the circuit; this requires an auxiliary startup circuit to assist the above circuit to get rid of the bias point during the power-on process, so that the circuit with the "degenerate" bias point after the power is turned on can work normally. Since the auxiliary startup circuit only works during the power-on process of the circuit to be started, it is hoped that the power consumption of the auxiliary startup circuit is as small as possible or zero.

[0004] There is a resistor type auxiliary starting circuit such as Figure 1 As shown, the bias current reference circuit (BIAS) is composed of the second PMOS transistor PM2, the third PMOS transistor PM3, the fourth PMOS transistor PM4, the zeroth NMOS transistor NM0, the first NMOS transistor NM1 and the first resistor R1, and its function is to provide a reference current IREF to other circuit modules; the zeroth PMOS transistor PM0, the first PMOS transistor PM1 and the second resistor R2 form an auxiliary startup circuit, the zeroth PMOS transistor PM0 is a current mirror transistor, and the mirror current is provided by the bias current reference circuit (BIAS); the first PMOS transistor PM1 is a switch transistor, during the power-on process of the working voltage VDD, the potential of the VN point is low, the first PMOS transistor PM1 is turned on, the voltage of the VM point is pulled up, and the bias current reference circuit (BIAS) is started normally. After startup, the bias current reference circuit (BIAS) current mirrored by the zeroth PMOS transistor PM0 flows through the second resistor R2 to raise the potential of the VN point, at which time the first PMOS transistor PM1 is turned off, and the auxiliary startup circuit is completed.

[0005] After the reference circuit (BIAS) is started, the zeroth PMOS tube PM0 remains turned on, and the current I1 flows through the second resistor R2 to maintain the VN point at a high potential to turn off the first PMOS tube PM1. Since the VN point potential is obtained by resistor voltage division, the VN point voltage is less than the working voltage VDD. Under certain conditions, the VN point voltage is too much less than the working voltage VDD, which may cause the first PMOS tube PM1 to be mistakenly turned on, affecting the bias current reference circuit (BIAS). The existence of the current I1 can be tolerated in non-low-power circuit design, but under the requirements of low-power design, it is hoped that the current I1 is as small as possible or zero power consumption. Usually, the current I1 is reduced by increasing the second resistor R2. In the high-voltage (greater than 3V, such as 5V) process, the resistance value of the second resistor R2 needs to become very large.

[0006] In view of the power consumption problem of the existing resistor-type auxiliary starting circuit and the problem that the voltage at the VN point is too much lower than the working voltage VDD, a capacitor-type auxiliary starting circuit is currently available. Figure 2 As shown, the circuit replaces the second resistor R2 in the existing resistor-type auxiliary starting circuit with the first capacitor C1, and utilizes the first capacitor C1. The voltage of the upper and lower plates during the power-on process cannot suddenly change. During the power-on process, the voltage at the VN point is kept low. After the power-on is completed, the zeroth PMOS tube PM0 is turned on, and the voltage at the VN point is kept at a high level to turn off the first PMOS tube PM1. After the power-on is completed, the current I1 is extremely small and close to zero power consumption. The capacitor-type auxiliary starting circuit performs well when the power is quickly powered on, but in the slow power-on process, the voltage at the VN point cannot be well maintained at a low level, which will cause the starting circuit to fail. Summary of the invention

[0007] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a system for shutting down the power consumption of the auxiliary starting circuit, which can assist the normal power-on of the circuit to be started with a "degenerate" bias point, and at the same time shut down the power consumption of the auxiliary starting circuit after the circuit to be started is powered on, thereby reducing power consumption.
