DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the embodiments of the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only implementation methods of a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all implementation methods. Based on the embodiments in the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the embodiments of the present application.

[0020] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the embodiments of the present application and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchanged where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the embodiments of the present application described here.

[0021] In addition, the terms "installed", "set", "provided with", "connected", "connected", and "socketed" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral structure; it can be a mechanical connection, or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be an internal connection between two devices, elements, or components. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the embodiments of the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0022] like Figure 1 Combined with Figure 1A As shown, in the related art, the power-on timing of the automotive or industrial PMIC power supply channel is generated by only one time module. This structure is a typical single point failure, that is, if a single timerA module or timerB module generates a random failure, it will cause hardware failure, making the channel power-on abnormal, thereby affecting the normal operation of the entire system. To this end, the embodiment of the present application proposes the following technical solution, which includes an enable signal generation module A, a logic control module B, an output channel module C, and a fault monitoring module D: The enable signal generation module A is configured to generate heterogeneous multi-channel enable signals according to the user-configured on-signal ON_DELAY[x] and the system enable signal SYS_EN. The enable signal generation module A provides a redundant design and can generate heterogeneous multi-channel enable signals, thereby avoiding single point failures existing in related technologies. The user-configured on-signal ON_DELAY[x] can be a delay time pre-set in the system or circuit, so that a certain output or event occurs after a certain delay after the input signal is activated.

[0023] The logic control module B is configured to receive the multi-channel enable signal sent from the enable signal generation module A, perform logic operations on the multi-channel enable signal, and generate corresponding logic enable signals.

[0024] The output channel module C is configured to generate a channel output signal and a soft start signal according to a logic enable signal and a channel reference voltage signal, and record a soft start time Tss when generating the soft start signal.

[0025] The fault monitoring module D is configured to generate a fault logic signal according to the logic enable signal, the soft start signal and the channel output signal.

[0026] Figure 1The content shown is one of the main application scenarios of the embodiment of the present application. In this main application scenario, through the collaborative work of multiple modules, the power-on sequence of each module in the complex system is effectively managed and fault monitored. Heterogeneous multi-channel enable signals are generated through redundant design, avoiding the risk of single point failure, thereby improving the overall reliability of the system, being able to monitor the system status in real time, accurately control the generation of various enable signals, and generate corresponding fault logic signals in real time to determine the stability and safety of the power-on sequence.

[0027] like Figure 2 The circuit schematic diagram of the enable signal generating module A shown in FIG. 1 includes a first timing module timerA and a second timing module timerB. The first timing module timerA and the second timing module timerB are respectively used to receive the user configuration connection signal ON_DELAY[x] and the system enable signal SYS_EN, that is, the first timing module timeA receives the user configuration connection signal ON_DELAY[x] and the system enable signal SYS_EN, and the second timing module timeB receives the user configuration connection signal ON_DELAY[x] and the system enable signal SYS_EN. When the user configuration connection signal ON_DELAY[x] and the system enable signal SYS_EN are respectively input between the first and second timing modules timeA and timeB, the first timing module timeA outputs a first channel enable signal ENA[x], and the second timing module timeB outputs a second channel enable signal ENB[x]. The first channel enable signal ENA[x] and the second channel enable signal ENB[x] will be used as inputs of the logic control module B for the next step of processing.

[0028] like Figure 3 The circuit schematic diagram of the logic control module B shown in the figure, in which the logic enable signal includes a first logic enable signal EN_BUCK[x] and a second logic enable signal EN_SS_VM[x]. The first logic enable signal EN_BUCK[x] is the result of a logic AND operation of the first channel enable signal ENA[x] and the second channel enable signal ENB[x]. The second logic enable signal EN_SS_VM[x] is the result of a logic OR operation of the first channel enable signal ENA[x] and the second channel enable signal ENB[x]. When the first logic enable signal EN_BUCK[x] and the second logic enable signal EN_SS_VM[x] are both 1 (high level), a channel output signal VOUT[x] is generated.

[0029] like Figure 4The output channel module C shown in the figure has input signals of the first logic enable signal EN_BUCK[x] and the second logic enable signal EN_SS_VM[x]. After the second logic enable signal EN_SS_VM[x] is input into the output channel module C, a channel reference voltage signal Vref_SS[x] and a soft start signal SSOK[x] are generated. When the first logic enable signal EN_BUCK[x] and the channel reference voltage signal Vref_SS[x] are both 1 (high level), the channel output signal VOUT[x] is 1, that is, the corresponding output channel is powered on.

[0030] like Figure 4A As shown, in some embodiments, the output channel module C includes a BUCK circuit module BUCK[x] and a timing module SS[x], wherein the BUCK circuit module BUCK[x] includes a control logic module, an upper power tube Q1, a lower power tube Q2, a first inductor L1, and a filter capacitor Cout, the sources of the upper power tube Q1 and the lower power tube Q2 are respectively connected to the control logic module, the drain of the upper power tube Q1 is connected to the PMIC power supply VIN, the source of the upper power tube Q1 is connected to the drain of the lower power tube Q2, the source of the lower power tube Q2 is grounded, one end of the first inductor L1 is connected between the source of the upper power tube Q1 and the drain of the lower power tube Q2, the other end of the first inductor L1 is used for outputting the channel output signal VOUT[x], one end of the filter capacitor Cout is connected to the first inductor L1, and the other end is grounded. The function of the timing module SS[x] is to control the soft start time of VOUT.

[0031] The working principle of the BUCK circuit module BUCK[x] can be briefly described as including two stages: (1) Switch on stage: The upper power tube Q1 is closed, and the lower power tube Q2 is reverse biased and cut off; The input voltage Vin is directly applied to the inductor and the load; The current of the first inductor L1 increases linearly, and the inductor stores energy; When the inductor current is greater than the load current, the capacitor is charged and the output voltage VOUT[x] gradually increases.

[0032] (2) Switch off stage: The upper power tube Q1 is disconnected, and the inductor current needs to form a loop through the lower power tube Q2; The inductor releases the stored energy and maintains the load current; The inductor current decreases linearly. When the inductor current is less than the load current, the capacitor discharges and the output voltage of the channel output signal VOUT[x] decreases.

[0033] Exemplarily, the BUCK circuit module BUCK[X] may adopt a synchronous step-down DC-DC converter, and utilize the synchronous step-down DC-DC converter to generate a channel output signal and a soft start signal based on the Buck circuit principle.

[0034] like Figure 5 The fault monitoring module D shown in the figure includes a third logic enable unit VM[x] and a second logic AND gate A2 in the fault monitoring module D. The third logic enable unit VM[x] is used to input the channel output signal VOUT[x] and the second logic enable signal EN_SS_VM[x]. The third logic enable unit VM[x] outputs a normal start signal UV / OV (when UV / OV=0, it indicates that the signal is started normally). The second logic AND gate A2 is used to input the normal start signal UV / OV=0 and the soft start signal SSOK[x], and output the fault signal ERROR. In some embodiments, a second logic OR gate U2 is included between the second logic AND gate A2 and the third logic enable unit VM[x]. The input end of the second logic OR gate U2 is connected to the third logic enable unit VM[x], and the output end of the second logic OR gate U2 is connected to the second logic AND gate A2. The third logic enable unit VM[x] outputs a first judgment signal UV[x] and a second judgment signal OV[x]. The first and second judgment signals are logically ORed through a second logic OR gate U2, and the operation result OVUV is output. <x>The signal is sent to the second logic AND gate A2, and the output end of the second logic AND gate A2 is used to output a fault signal ERROR.

[0035] Exemplarily, the third logic enable unit VM[x] can be a comparator, in which a reference voltage is set, and the channel output signal VOUT[x] is compared with the reference voltage. If the channel output signal VOUT[x] is greater than the reference voltage, the second judgment signal OV[x] (overvoltage signal) is output; if the channel output signal VOUT[x] is less than the reference voltage, the first judgment signal UV[x] (undervoltage signal) is output; if the channel output signal VOUT[x] is equal to the reference voltage, it is a normal state.

[0036] When the corresponding channel starts normally, that is, the channel output signal VOUT[x] and the second logic enable signal EN_SS_VM[x] are both equal to 1, the fault monitoring module D outputs a normal start signal, that is, the operation result OVUV <x>=0, the operation result is OVUV <x>The soft start signal SSOK[x] is sent to the second logic AND gate A2, and the second logic AND gate A2 outputs the fault signal ERROR as 0, and no fault reporting is performed.

[0037] When the corresponding channel is not started normally, that is, the second logic enable signal EN_SS_VM[x]=1, and the channel output signal VOUT[x]=0, the fault monitoring module D will output the operation result OVUV <x>=1. Operation result OVUV <x>The soft start signal SSOK[x] is sent to the second logic AND gate A2, and the second logic AND gate outputs the fault signal ERROR as 1 to report the fault.

[0038] like Figure 6 Combined with Figure 7 and Figure 1 As shown, the following embodiment will illustrate the implementation process of the PMIC multi-channel timing fault detection circuit. Through the OTP configuration of the user configuration on-signal ON_DELAY[x] of the corresponding channel, the output channel starts the timing of the output channel output signal VOUT2-VOUTX according to the user configuration on-signal ON_DELAY[x]. In this process, when the system enable signal SYS_EN and the user configuration on-signal ON_DELAY[x] are both 1, the channel output signal VOUT[x]=1.

[0039] The user-configured on-signal ON_DELAY[x] generates the corresponding first channel enable signal ENA[x] and second channel enable signal ENB[x] through the first timing module TimerA and the second timing module TimerB, and then performs a logic operation in the logic control module B, generates the first logic enable signal EN_BUCK[x] through the logic AND operation of the first channel enable signal ENA[x] and the second channel enable signal ENB[x], generates the second logic enable signal EN_SS_VM[x] through the logic OR operation of the first channel enable signal ENA[x] and the second channel enable signal ENB[x], and then performs a logic operation in the output channel module C to obtain the channel reference voltage Vref_SS[x] and the soft start signal SSOK[x], and then obtains the first and second judgment signals OV[x] according to various logic operation units in the fault monitoring module D and outputs the corresponding logic operation result OVUV <x>, the fault signal ERROR is output only when the soft start signal SSOK[x]=1, to avoid error reporting when the channel has not been established during the system startup phase.

[0040] The channel output signal VOUT[x] starts at time T0, considering the following working conditions: Normal state: There is no timing error between the first timing module TimerA and the second timing module TimerB, T_ENA[x] and T_ENB[x]=T0, EN_SS[x]= EN_BUCK[x]= EN_VM[x]=1, SSOK[x]=1, UV / OV[x]=0, channel T0 starts normally, and RESET remains high without fault.

[0041] Fault state: A timing module Timer is advanced, assuming T_ENB[x]=T_ENA[x]+ΔT; Fault state: a timing module Timer delay, assuming T_ENB[x]=T_ENA[x]-ΔT; Considering the four abnormal states in the attached figure, all of them can report faults after the soft start time (Tss), realizing precise control of the power-on timing.
