Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of transient reinforcement circuits, and in particular to a negative single-particle transient reinforcement circuit and method based on a comparator and a compensation tube. Background Art
[0002] Particle transient effects are caused by the energy transfer of particles to electrons in the medium. When a particle (such as an electron or photon) passes through a medium, it interacts with atoms or molecules in the medium, causing electrons to be excited or stripped from their atomic orbitals. These excited or ionized states exist only for a moment and decay rapidly. In this process, holes are formed, which move in the surrounding medium until they recombine with other electrons. The time scale of this recombination process is shorter than the time scale of the interaction between the electron and the medium, so it can be considered that all electrons recombine simultaneously in a period of time. Single particle transient effects can be used to develop highly sensitive single particle sensors. By combining sensitive media with electronic detectors, when particles pass through the medium and cause transient effects, this signal can be captured by the electronic detector. This single particle sensor can be used in environmental monitoring, life science research and other fields; single particle transient effects can be used to evaluate the reliability of electronic devices. In electronic devices, single particle transient effects may cause misoperation or device damage, so it is very important for the reliability evaluation of electronic devices. Through simulation or experiment, the response of electronic devices under single particle transient effects can be studied, and the resistance of Apple devices to particle radiation can be studied, thereby guiding the design and manufacture of electronic devices.
[0003] LDO refers to low-dropout linear regulator, which is mainly used to convert unstable DC voltage into stable DC output voltage. Low-dropout linear regulator is a new generation of integrated circuit regulator. The biggest difference between it and the three-terminal regulator is that the low-dropout linear regulator is a micro-chip system with very low self-consumption. It can be used for current main channel control. The chip integrates hardware circuits such as mosfet with extremely low online on-resistance, Schottky diode, sampling resistor and voltage divider resistor, and has overcurrent protection, overtemperature protection, precision reference source, differential amplifier, delay and other functions. Low-dropout linear regulator usually has extremely low self-noise and high power supply rejection ratio. The current LDO does not have a reinforcement circuit. When a negative single-particle transient pulse arrives, it is easy to affect the LDO. Therefore, it is necessary to design a negative single-particle transient reinforcement circuit.

[0050] The bias circuit includes a fifth reset tube P0, a first transistor N1 and an eighth transistor N0. A fourth resistor R0, a first resistor R1, a second resistor R2 and a third resistor R3 connected in series are connected between the drain of the fifth reset tube P0 and the drain of the eighth transistor N0. The source of the eighth transistor N0 is grounded, the drain of the first transistor N1 is connected to the drain of the eighth transistor N0, and the source of the first transistor N1 is grounded.
[0051] When the control terminal voltage Vcmp_en is at a high level, the comparator enters a normal working state. The second transistor N2 copies the current on the bias circuit. At this time, the differential amplifier receives two input voltages Vin_m and Vin_p. The end with a higher voltage gets more current, so the voltage Vom1 or Vop1 on its drain is smaller. These two voltages control the conduction state of the fourth transistor P5 and the fifth transistor P6. The end with a smaller voltage in Vom1 and Vop1 produces a larger current, which pulls up Vop2 or Vom2. At the same time, since the sixth transistor N8 and the seventh transistor N11 form a positive feedback, the voltage difference between Vop2 and Vom2 is amplified as a differential input for differential to single-ended conversion. The fifth load tube P8 and the sixth load tube P10 convert the differential signal into a single-ended signal as an output.
[0052] Working principle: The reinforcement method of the negative single-particle transient reinforcement circuit based on the comparator and the compensation tube includes the following steps:
[0053] A. Before the LDO enters the normal working state, the control signal Ven is at a low level, the comparator does not work, the output of the comparator is at a low level, the connecting tube P11 is turned on, the compensation tube N13 is turned off, the error amplifier discharges the gate of the power tube N12, Vg becomes high, and the LDO output voltage Vout becomes high;
[0054] B. When the LDO enters the normal working state, the control voltage Ven is high, and the comparator starts to work. At this time, the LDO output voltage Vout is greater than the reference voltage Vout_min formed by the resistor network, and the output of the comparator is low. The connecting tube P11 remains turned on, the compensation tube N13 remains turned off, and the LDO works stably.
[0055] C. When a negative single-particle transient pulse occurs, the output Vout of the LDO is less than the reference voltage Vout_min, the comparator output is high, the connecting tube P11 is disconnected, the compensation tube N13 is turned on, the capacitor C1 starts to maintain the gate voltage of the power tube N12, and the compensation tube N13 starts to slowly discharge the gate of the power tube N12 to compensate for the charge flowing out of the negative single-particle transient pulse;
[0056] D. With the charge compensation, the gate voltage Vg of the power tube N12 gradually increases, and the LDO output voltage Vout gradually increases. When the LDO output voltage Vout rises to a value greater than the reference voltage Vout_min formed by the resistor network, the negative single-particle transient pulse of the error amplifier EA has ended.
[0057] E. The output voltage of the comparator returns to a low level, the connecting tube P11 is turned on, the compensation tube N13 is disconnected, the gate of the power tube N12 is connected to the output end of the error amplifier, and the LDO returns to normal working state.
[0058] In summary, the reinforcement circuit of the present invention isolates the power tube and the error amplifier when a negative single-particle transient pulse arrives, and compensates for the charge flowing out of the negative single-particle transient pulse through the connecting tube, thereby reducing the influence of the negative single-particle transient pulse and playing a reinforcement role.
