Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a voltage stabilizer and a voltage stabilizer chip in the technical field of electronic circuits, and in particular to a dual-mode low voltage difference linear voltage stabilizer and a voltage stabilizer chip. Background Art
[0002] With the development of semiconductor integrated circuits, the chip manufacturing process is becoming more and more advanced, which requires the chip to have lower power consumption and area. In a complete chip, the power module occupies a large part of the area and power consumption. How to optimize and reduce the area and power consumption of the power module is very meaningful.
[0003] In the BMS power management chip used in the BMS system, the products of major chip companies all have a simple voltage regulator (LDO) that is led out of the chip. This LDO supplies power to some MCUs and functional modules in the board-level circuit. Figure 1 As shown, LDO mainly has three pins: DRIVE, VREG, and GND. DRIVE is the driving end, VREG is the feedback end, and DNG is the ground end. When LDO is running, it needs to be combined with an off-chip circuit, such as a transistor, a 100Ω resistor, a 1μF capacitor, and a 0.1μF capacitor. The base of the transistor is connected to the driving end DRIVE, the emitter of the transistor is not only connected to the feedback end VREG but also to the ground (ground end DNG) via a 1μF capacitor, and the collector of the transistor is not only connected to the battery voltage BAT via a 100Ω resistor but also to the ground via a 0.1μF capacitor. The base of the transistor is controlled by controlling the voltage of the driving end DRIVE, and the feedback end VREG is fed back to the chip by controlling the output of the transistor, thereby achieving a stable output voltage. At the same time, it can drive a large current load, generally up to 30mA. In the low current scenario, the driver end DRIVE can provide a pull current of about 1mA, but the voltage of the driver end DRIVE at this time is different from the output when driving the off-chip transistor, that is, the voltage of the feedback end VREG. In addition, because the small current scenario does not require the expansion of the off-chip transistor DRIVE end voltage, the accuracy will become lower due to the lack of feedback. Summary of the invention

The term "or / and" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.
[0057] The dual-mode low-dropout linear regulator of the present invention has two working configurations: a heavy-load configuration and a light-load configuration. The heavy-load configuration uses an external BJT / FET power tube (i.e., Q2) and has a higher load driving capability; the light-load configuration no longer uses the off-chip power tube Q2, and selects to reuse the large-size MOS tube (i.e., Q1) on the chip as the power tube to achieve a certain driving capability, while saving part of the layout area, switching different working modes according to the actual application scenario, and obtaining a stable output voltage. After experimental simulation, the circuit of the present invention can realize the switching of the two configurations without losing performance in terms of function, and can reuse the MOS tube Q1 with the largest area in the voltage follower to achieve area optimization.
[0058] See also Figure 2 , which is a circuit diagram of a dual-mode low-dropout linear regulator provided by Embodiment 1 of the present invention. The dual-mode low-dropout linear regulator includes: an operational amplifier EA, a voltage follower Buffer, a feedback circuit, and an auxiliary circuit.
[0059] The negative input terminal of the operational amplifier is connected to the output voltage V of the previous bandgap reference circuit. REF The voltage follower includes PMOS tubes PM1~PM2, N-type transistor Q1, current source I bias1 ~I bias2 , switches S1~S2. The source of PM1 is connected to the power supply voltage V DD , V DD Also through I bias1 The collector of Q1, the gate of PM1 is not only connected to the collector of Q1 but also to the output of the operational amplifier via S1. The emitter of Q1 is connected via I bias2 Ground GND, the base of Q1 is connected to a fixed bias voltage V bias The drain of PM1 is connected to the source of PM2, and the connection forms a node DRIVE. The gate of PM2 is connected to the output of the operational amplifier via S2, and the drain of PM2 is connected to the emitter of Q1. The auxiliary circuit includes an N-type transistor Q2, a switch JUMP, and an output capacitor C oThe switch JUMP can be a jumper. The two ends of the switch JUMP are connected to the base and emitter of Q2 respectively. The base of Q2 is connected to the drain of PM1, the emitter of Q2 is connected to the ground GND via C0, the collector of Q2 is connected to the battery voltage BAT, and the output terminal V0 is drawn from the emitter of Q2. The feedback circuit includes resistors R1~R2. One end of R1 forms the node VREG and is also connected to the emitter of Q2. The other end of R1 is not only connected to the positive input of the operational amplifier but also to the ground GND via R2.
[0060] Among them, heavy load configuration: control S1, switch JUMP is open, control S2 is closed. Light load configuration: control S1, switch JUMP is closed, control S2 is open.
[0061] Overload configuration: see attached Figure 3 , by controlling the switches S1 and JUMP to be open and S2 to be closed. At this time, the LDO architecture is an op amp + buffer + power tube structure. By introducing the buffer to push up the op amp output pole and the power tube gate pole, the LDO can achieve high precision and stability in a wide load range. When configured with heavy load, the current is large, and the large current can be as high as 30mA.
[0062] Light load configuration: see attached Figure 4 , by controlling the switches S1 and JUMP to close and S2 to open, the LDO architecture is now a classic op amp + power tube structure, which can achieve high precision and stability of LDO under small current load. When configured with light load, the output current is small, and the small current is 1mA±0.5.
[0063] In order to facilitate the switching between heavy-load configuration and light-load configuration, S1, S2, and switch JUMP can all use electronically controlled switches. Mechanical switches are only suitable for manual operation and are not suitable for automatic control. Through the switching control of S1, S2, and switch JUMP, two output configurations of the voltage regulator are realized, so that the LDO of the present invention is designed as a dual-mode low-voltage difference linear regulator: under heavy-load configuration, an external power tube is used to drive a large current load, and under light-load configuration, the on-chip MOS tube is reused as a power tube to realize a low-power circuit while reducing the layout area overhead. Therefore, the voltage regulator of the present invention can be an LDO without external capacitors or an LDO with large external capacitors.
[0064] The current source I in the actual circuit bias1 ,I bias2 It can be biased with a simple single-stage MOS tube current mirror circuit. bias2 It can also be biased with a cascode current mirror. If a cascode current mirror with a higher output impedance is used, the output impedance of the buffer will be reduced by nearly 1 times, further pushing up the pole and improving the LDO phase margin.
[0065] by Figure 2For example, the buffer of the traditional FVF structure needs to adjust the width-to-length ratio of PM1 and PM2 to achieve the optimal output impedance. In the present invention, because the transistor PM1 needs to be reused, more tube area is allocated to PM1. Under the premise of not losing the buffer performance, the area ratio of the reused tube is increased as much as possible to improve the practical value. At the same time, using transistor Q1 to replace the MOS tube in the traditional structure FVF can improve the loop gain, further reduce the output impedance, and improve the phase margin of the LDO. If Q1 is replaced by a CMOS tube, the gate of the CMOS tube replaces the base of Q1, the source of the CMOS tube replaces the emitter of Q1, and the drain of the CMOS tube replaces the collector of Q1. Q2 can also be replaced by a CMOS tube, the gate of the CMOS tube replaces the base of Q2, the source of the CMOS tube replaces the emitter of Q2, and the drain of the CMOS tube replaces the collector of Q2. Therefore, the voltage follower (buffer) connected between the operational amplifier and the power tube (the power tube can be an N-type tube or a P-type tube) of the present invention is a flip voltage follower (FVF) structure, and a transistor Q1 is connected in series in its feedback loop to increase the loop gain, thereby achieving a lower output impedance than the traditional FVF structure voltage follower and improving the performance of the designed LDO. It should be noted that both transistors Q1 and Q2 can be FET tubes, see Figure 5 .
[0066] See also Figure 6 , which is the amplitude-frequency characteristic curve of the dual-mode LDO heavy-load mode of the present invention. As can be seen from the figure, within the load current range of 100uA to 10mA, the bandwidth of the LDO is a minimum of 15.8kHz and a maximum of 251.2kHz, and the phase margin is a minimum of 52°, which can achieve LDO stability within the full load range. Therefore, the technical solution of the present invention is feasible.
[0067] In this embodiment, the operational amplifier EA operates at any V DD Under power supply, the positive input terminal is connected to the signal VFB; the negative input terminal is connected to the output voltage VREF of the previous bandgap reference circuit; the output terminal is connected to the positive terminal of switch S2. The base of N-type transistor Q1 is connected to the fixed bias voltage V bias ; The emitter is connected to the current source I bias2 The positive terminal of the switch S1; the collector is connected to the negative terminal of the switch S1. The base of the N-type transistor Q2 is connected to the DRIVE signal; the emitter is connected to the output terminal Vo; the collector is connected to the battery voltage BAT. The gate of PM1 is connected to the current source I bias1 Negative terminal; source connected to power supply voltage V DD ; The drain is connected to the DRIVE signal. The gate of PM2 is connected to the negative terminal of switch S2; the source is connected to the DRIVE signal; the drain is connected to the current source I bias2 Positive terminal. Current source I bias1 Positive terminal supply voltage V DD; The negative end is connected to the negative end of switch S1. Current source I bias2 The positive terminal is connected to the drain of PM2; the negative terminal is connected to GND. The positive terminal of switch S1 is connected to the output of op amp EA; the negative terminal is connected to the gate of PM1. The positive terminal of switch S2 is connected to the output of op amp EA; the negative terminal is connected to the gate of PM2. The positive terminal of resistor R1 is connected to VFB; the negative terminal is connected to the LDO output Vo.

The positive terminal of output capacitor Co is connected to Vo; the negative terminal is connected to ground. Load resistor R load The positive terminal is connected to Vo, and the negative terminal is grounded. The positive terminal of the jumper cap JUMP is connected to the base of the transistor Q2, and the negative terminal is connected to Vo.
[0068] The present invention can realize that when there is an off-chip power tube, the LDO works in a heavy-load configuration by simply adding a control circuit, and by inserting a voltage follower between the operational amplifier and the power tube, the LDO can stably output a fixed voltage under a large current load. When there is no off-chip external power tube, by simply switching the control circuit to enter the light-load configuration, the MOS tube in the on-chip voltage follower can be reused as a power tube, and an LDO with a small driving capability but high precision and stable output can be realized.
[0069] The dual-mode low-dropout linear regulator of the present invention can be designed as a circuit module when in use, so that the user does not need to use various components to connect the corresponding circuit of the regulator, and can directly use the regulator circuit module. The regulator can be provided with 6 terminals: Terminal 1 is led out from the source of PM1, which is used to connect V DD ; Terminal 2 is connected from the base of Q1 to V bias ; Terminal 3 is connected from the negative input of the operational amplifier to V REF ; Terminal 4 is led out from the grounded end of R2 for connecting to GND; Terminal 5 is led out from the collector of Q2 for connecting to BAT; Output terminal V0 is terminal 6 for connecting to the load of the voltage regulator. In order to facilitate the control of the switch, the voltage regulator can also be provided with three control terminals for controlling S1, S2, and switch JUMP to open or close respectively, and the corresponding switch control instructions are connected through the control terminals.
[0070] The dual-mode low-dropout linear regulator of the present invention can be designed as a chip when in use. There are multiple modes for designing a chip. For example, in the first mode, the operational amplifier, the voltage follower, and the feedback circuit are packaged into a chip, and the auxiliary circuit is an off-chip circuit of the chip. Such a chip can be designed with at least 8 pins: Pin 1 is led out from the source of PM1, and is used to connect V DD ; Pin 2 is connected from the base of Q1 to V bias ; Lead out pin 3 from the negative input of the operational amplifier to connect to V REF; Pin 4 is led out from the grounded end of R2 for connecting to GND; Pin 5 is led out from the drain of PM1 and is defined as the driving end DRIVE of the chip; Pin 6 is led out from the end of R1 away from R2 and is defined as the feedback end VREG of the chip; Pin 7 is led out from S1 and is used to control the opening or closing of S1; Pin 8 is led out from S2 and is used to control the opening or closing of S2.
