[0036] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present application, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0037] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of a switching power supply chip provided by the prior art, such as Figure 1 As shown, the chip includes a power port VCC and an internal circuit, the negative power terminal of the internal circuit and the first plate of the capacitor C are connected to the chip ground GND_CHIP, the second plate of the capacitor C is connected to the positive power terminal AVDD of the internal circuit, and the positive power terminal AVDD of the internal circuit is connected to the power port VCC through the first switch tube K1 and the second switch tube K2 in sequence, the power port VCC is also connected to the first plate of the off-chip capacitor Co, and the second plate of the off-chip capacitor Co is connected to the PCB ground GND_PCB.

[0038] The internal circuit includes a high-side driver circuit High-Side Driver, a low-side driver circuit Low-Side Driver, an upper tube Hs and a lower tube LS. The high-side driver circuit High-Side Driver receives the upper tube control signal PWM, and the low-side driver circuit Low-Side Driver receives the lower tube control signal Lower tube control signal It is the inverted signal of the upper tube control signal PWM.

[0039] There is parasitic inductance Lpar between PCB routing and package. The chip ground GND_CHIP is connected to the PCB ground GND_PCB through parasitic inductance Lpar, so the chip ground GND_CHIP will be affected by ground bounce noise. Since the power supply of the internal circuit of the chip is composed of the power port VCC and the chip ground GND_CHIP, the ground bounce voltage will be equivalently superimposed on the power supply voltage of the internal circuit, causing the internal circuit of the chip to be subjected to a lot of noise, and the key performance of the chip will be deteriorated, for example, the reference voltage will be offset, the feedback loop will lose control, etc. The low-voltage circuit of the chip is also at risk of being damaged due to contact with excessively high voltage, resulting in reduced chip stability.

[0040] In order to solve the above problems, it is usually necessary to monitor the power stage upper tube control signal PWM. When the upper tube control signal PWM is pulled high, that is, when the upper tube HS is turned on, the shielding signal BLANK is pulled high and delayed for the shielding time Tblank before being pulled low. When the upper tube control signal PWM is pulled low, that is, when the lower tube LS is turned on, the shielding signal BLANK is pulled high and delayed for the shielding time Tblank before being pulled low. Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 A control timing diagram of a switching power supply chip provided by the prior art.

[0041] The control end of the first switch tube K1 and the control end of the second switch tube K2 receive the shielding signal BLANK, and connect the power port VCC and the power terminal AVDD of the internal circuit when the shielding signal BLANK is a low level signal, and disconnect the connection between the power port VCC and the power terminal AVDD of the internal circuit when the shielding signal BLANK is a high level signal to shield the energy transmission during the ground bounce noise.

[0042] The speed of ground bounce noise is fast, usually up to the order of 10V / ns. If the power stage output signal is used to control the conduction and disconnection of the power path, the control signal needs to be collected from the power stage and transmitted to the vicinity of the power port very quickly. However, the control signal is not easy to collect in many cases.

[0043] For example, in the Peak Current Mode (PCM), the upper tube disconnection control signal is generated by the high-voltage circuit of the chip, and the control signal needs to be transferred to the low voltage through the level shifter, and then transmitted to the power port control circuit. The level transfer process and the delay in the transmission process of the control signal cannot be ignored, so it is difficult to ensure the shielding effect of the ground bounce noise.

[0044] For another example, in a multiphase or distributed power stage circuit, there are multiple output control signals that can generate ground bounce noise. These signals need to be logically integrated to control the conduction and disconnection states of the power ports. However, there is overlap between the multiple control signals, which makes the power supply disconnection logic more complicated. In addition, the simultaneous acquisition and transmission of the output signals of multiple power stages requires more acquisition circuits and routing space, which takes up additional chip area.

[0045] In addition, the waveform amplitude and duration of ground bounce noise are not fixed, which are related to multiple factors such as load current, power stage switching rate and parasitic inductance. The triggering time of ground bounce noise is also different. For example, when the load current is positive, the ground bounce noise is triggered when the upper tube Hs switches, and when the load current is negative, the ground bounce noise is triggered when the lower tube Ls switches.

[0046] If the shielding time is too short and / or the shielding timing is delayed, it will not be enough to shield the ground bounce noise. If the shielding time is too long and / or the shielding timing is advanced, it will shorten the charging time of the power supply within the cycle, thereby reducing the power supply voltage of the chip's internal circuits and weakening key chip performance such as power stage on-resistance. When dealing with ground bounce noise of different durations and / or different triggering timings, additional circuits are required to monitor the positive and negative load current and the speed of the power stage switching, and complex logic is also required to adjust the shielding timing for various situations.

[0047] In summary, in the existing ground bounce noise shielding solution, additional circuits need to be set up to monitor the power stage output signal, collect the power stage output signal and transmit the power stage output signal. Additional circuits need to be set up to monitor the positive and negative of the load current and the speed of the power stage switching rate. Complex logic circuits need to be set up to adjust the shielding timing according to different situations, resulting in a larger chip area.

[0048] In view of this, the present disclosure provides a power control circuit of a chip, including a node voltage generation module, a comparison module and a control module, wherein the node voltage generation module establishes a stable first internal node voltage according to the power port voltage, and establishes a stable second internal node voltage according to the internal circuit voltage, wherein the power port voltage is the voltage of the external power signal received by the power port, and the internal circuit voltage is the power supply voltage of the internal circuit, and the comparison module compares the first internal node voltage and the power port voltage to obtain a first comparison signal, and compares the second internal node voltage and the power port voltage to obtain a second comparison signal, and the control module controls the on-off between the power port and the power supply end of the internal circuit according to the first comparison signal and the second comparison signal, so as to avoid the ground bounce noise in the external power signal from entering the internal circuit, and the stability of the chip can be improved. In this way, the power control circuit can adaptively determine whether the external power signal contains ground bounce noise based on the amplitude and duration of the ground bounce noise, and there is no need to collect the power level output signal, so there is no need to set an additional circuit to monitor the chip power level working state, and there is no need to set an additional circuit to monitor, collect and transmit the power level output signal, which can reduce the circuit complexity, thereby reducing the chip area.

[0049] The technical solution of the present disclosure is described in detail below with reference to several specific embodiments.

[0050] Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the structure of a chip provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, the chip may be a switching power supply chip, which includes a power control circuit 100 , a power port VCC and an internal circuit 200 , wherein the power port VCC is connected to a positive power terminal AVDD of the internal circuit 200 through the power control circuit 100 .

[0051] Among them, the first plate of the off-chip capacitor Co is connected to the power port VCC, and the second plate of the off-chip capacitor Co is connected to the PCB ground GND_PCB to stabilize the power port voltage Vcc. The chip also includes an internal capacitor Ci, the first plate of the internal capacitor Ci is connected to the positive power terminal AVDD of the internal circuit 200, and the second plate of the internal capacitor Ci and the negative power terminal of the internal circuit 200 are connected to the chip ground GND_CHIP to stabilize the power supply voltage Vdd of the internal circuit 200.

[0052] Figure 4A schematic diagram of a power control circuit provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown, the power control circuit 100 includes a node voltage generating module 110 , a comparing module 120 and a controlling module 130 .

[0053] Among them, the first input end of the node voltage generating module 110 is connected to the power port VCC, the second input end of the node voltage generating module 110 is connected to the positive power end AVDD of the internal circuit, the first output end of the node voltage generating module 110 is connected to the first input end of the comparison module 120, and the second output end of the node voltage generating module 110 is connected to the second input end of the comparison module 120.

[0054] The third input terminal of the comparison module 120 is connected to the power port VCC, the first output terminal of the comparison module 120 is connected to the first control terminal of the control module 130, the second output terminal of the comparison module 120 is connected to the second control terminal of the control module 130, the input terminal of the control module 130 is connected to the power port VCC, and the output terminal of the control module 130 is connected to the positive power terminal AVDD of the internal circuit.

[0055] The node voltage generating module 110 is configured to establish a stable first internal node voltage Vnode1 according to the power port voltage Vcc, and to establish a stable second internal node voltage Vnode2 according to the internal circuit voltage Vdd, wherein the power port voltage Vcc is the voltage of the external power signal received by the power port VCC, and the internal circuit voltage Vdd is the power voltage of the internal circuit.

[0056] The comparison module 120 is configured to compare the first internal node voltage Vnode1 with the power port voltage Vcc to obtain a first comparison signal CMP1 , and compare the second internal node voltage Vnode2 with the power port voltage Vcc to obtain a second comparison signal CMP2 .

[0057] The control module 130 is configured to control the connection between the power port VCC and the positive power terminal AVDD of the internal circuit according to the first comparison signal CMP1 and the second comparison signal CMP2 to prevent the ground bounce noise in the external power signal from entering the internal circuit.

[0058] For example, see Figure 4 The node voltage generating module 110 includes a first node voltage generating unit 111 and a second node voltage generating unit 112. The input of the first node voltage generating unit 111 is connected to the power port VCC, and the output of the first node voltage generating unit 111 is connected to the first input of the comparison module 120. The first node voltage generating unit 111 can stabilize the power port voltage Vcc to obtain a first internal node voltage Vnode1.

[0059] The input of the second node voltage generating unit 112 is connected to the positive power port AVDD of the internal circuit, and the output of the second node voltage generating unit 112 is connected to the second input terminal of the comparison module 120. The second node voltage generating unit 112 can stabilize the internal circuit voltage Vdd to obtain a second internal node voltage Vnode2.

[0060] Continue to see Figure 4 The comparison module 120 includes a positive comparison unit 121 and a negative comparison unit 122, a first input terminal of the positive comparison unit 121 is connected to a first output terminal of the node voltage generation module 111, a second input terminal of the positive comparison unit 121 is connected to a power supply port VCC, and an output terminal of the positive comparison unit 121 is connected to a first input terminal of the control module 130.

[0061] A first input terminal of the negative comparison unit 122 is connected to the power port VCC, a second input terminal of the negative comparison unit 122 is connected to the second output terminal of the node voltage generation module 110 , and an output terminal of the negative comparison unit 122 is connected to a second input terminal of the control module 130 .

[0062] Exemplarily, the first input terminal of the forward comparison unit 121 is connected to the output terminal of the first node voltage generating unit 111, and the forward comparison unit 121 compares the power port voltage Vcc and the first internal node voltage Vnode1 to determine whether the power port voltage Vcc is less than the sum of the first internal node voltage Vnode1 and the first preset voltage Vth1, thereby obtaining the first comparison signal CMP1.

[0063] When the external power signal received by the power port VCC contains positive ground bounce noise, the positive ground bounce noise voltage is superimposed on the power port voltage Vcc. At this time, the power port voltage Vcc is greater than or equal to the sum of the first internal node voltage Vnode1 and the first preset voltage Vth1, and the obtained first comparison signal CMP1 is a first level signal.

[0064] When the external power signal received by the power port VCC does not contain the positive ground bounce noise, the power port voltage Vcc is not superimposed with the positive ground bounce noise voltage, and at this time, the power port voltage Vcc is less than the sum of the first internal node voltage Vnode1 and the first preset voltage Vth1, and the obtained first comparison signal CMP1 is a second level signal. For example, the first level signal is a high level signal, and the second level signal is a low level signal, or the first level signal is a low level signal, and the second level signal is a high level signal.

[0065] In this way, the forward comparison unit 111 outputs a first level signal when the power port voltage Vcc is greater than or equal to the sum of the first internal node voltage Vnode1 and the first preset voltage Vth1, and outputs a second level signal when the power port voltage Vcc is less than the sum of the first internal node voltage Vnode1 and the first preset voltage Vth1.

[0066] The first input terminal of the negative comparison unit 122 is connected to the output terminal of the second node voltage generating unit 112. The negative comparison unit 122 compares the power port voltage Vcc and the second internal node voltage Vnode2 to determine whether the sum of the power port voltage Vcc and the second preset voltage Vth2 is greater than the second internal node voltage Vnode2, thereby obtaining a second comparison signal CMP2.

[0067] When the external power signal received by the power port VCC contains reverse ground bounce noise, the reverse ground bounce noise voltage is superimposed on the power port voltage Vcc. At this time, the sum of the power port voltage Vcc and the second preset voltage Vth2 is less than or equal to the second internal node voltage Vnode2, and the obtained second comparison signal CMP2 is a first level signal.

[0068] When the external power signal received by the power port VCC does not contain reverse ground bounce noise, the power port voltage Vcc is not superimposed with the reverse ground bounce noise voltage. At this time, the sum of the power port voltage Vcc and the second preset voltage Vth2 is greater than the second internal node voltage Vnode2, and the obtained second comparison signal CMP2 is a second level signal.

[0069] In this way, the negative comparison unit 122 outputs a first level signal when the sum of the power port voltage Vcc and the second preset voltage Vth2 is less than or equal to the second internal node voltage Vnode2, and outputs a second level signal when the sum of the power port voltage Vcc and the second preset voltage Vth2 is greater than the second internal node voltage Vnode2.

[0070] Continue to see Figure 4 The control module 130 includes a positive signal generating unit 131, a negative signal generating unit 132 and a control unit 133. The input end of the positive signal generating unit 131 is connected to the first output end of the comparison module 120, the output end of the positive signal generating unit 131 is connected to the first control end of the control unit 133, the input end of the negative signal generating unit 132 is connected to the second output end of the comparison module 120, the output end of the negative signal generating unit 132 is connected to the second control end of the control unit 133, the input end of the control unit 133 is connected to the power port VCC, and the output end of the control unit 133 is connected to the positive power end AVDD of the internal circuit.

[0071] Exemplarily, the input end of the forward signal generating unit 131 is connected to the output end of the forward comparison unit 121. When the external power signal received by the power port VCC contains positive ground bounce noise, the first comparison signal CMP1 output by the forward comparison unit 121 is a first level signal. At this time, the forward signal generating unit 131 can generate a forward disconnection control signal according to the first comparison signal CMP1.

[0072] When the external power signal received by the power port VCC does not contain forward ground bounce noise, the first comparison signal CMP1 output by the forward comparison unit 121 is a second level signal. At this time, the forward signal generation unit 131 can generate a forward conduction control signal according to the first comparison signal CMP1.

[0073] In this way, the forward signal generating unit 131 can generate a forward control signal according to the first comparison signal CMP1 , wherein the forward control signal includes a forward on control signal and a forward off control signal.

[0074] The input end of the negative signal generating unit 132 is connected to the output end of the negative comparing unit 122. When the external power signal received by the power port VCC contains negative ground bounce noise, the second comparison signal CMP2 output by the negative comparing unit 122 is a first level signal. At this time, the negative signal generating unit 132 can generate a negative disconnection control signal according to the second comparison signal CMP2.

[0075] When the external power signal received by the power port VCC does not contain negative ground bounce noise, the second comparison signal CMP2 output by the negative comparison unit 122 is a second level signal. At this time, the negative signal generation unit 132 can generate a negative conduction control signal according to the second comparison signal CMP2.

[0076] In this way, the negative signal generating unit 132 can generate a negative control signal according to the second comparison signal CMP2 , wherein the negative control signal includes a negative turn-on control signal and a negative turn-off control signal.

[0077] When the external power signal received by the power port VCC contains positive ground bounce noise, the positive control signal generated by the positive signal generating unit 131 is a positive disconnection control signal. At this time, the negative control signal generated by the negative signal generating unit 132 is a negative conduction control signal. The control unit 133 can disconnect the connection between the power port VCC and the positive power terminal AVDD of the internal circuit to prevent the positive ground bounce noise from entering the internal circuit.

[0078] When the external power signal received by the power port VCC contains negative ground bounce noise, the negative control signal generated by the negative signal generating unit 132 is a negative disconnection control signal. At this time, the positive control signal generated by the positive signal generating unit 131 is a forward conduction control signal. The control unit 133 can disconnect the connection between the power port VCC and the positive power terminal AVDD of the internal circuit to prevent the reverse ground bounce noise from entering the internal circuit.

[0079] When the external power signal received by the power port VCC does not contain ground bounce noise, that is, does not contain negative ground bounce noise and positive ground bounce noise, the positive control signal generated by the positive signal generating unit 131 is a positive conduction control signal, and the negative control signal generated by the negative signal generating unit 132 is a negative conduction control signal, and the control unit 133 can conduct the power port VCC and the positive power terminal AVDD of the internal circuit.

[0080] In this way, the control unit 133 turns on the power port VCC and the positive power terminal AVDD of the internal circuit when the positive control signal is a positive conduction control signal and the negative control signal is a negative conduction control signal, and disconnects the connection between the power port VCC and the positive power terminal AVDD of the internal circuit when the positive control signal is a positive disconnection control signal or the negative control signal is a negative disconnection control signal, so as to prevent ground bounce noise from entering the internal circuit.

[0081] In summary, the power control circuit provided by the present disclosure determines whether the external power signal received by the power port contains ground bounce noise based on the voltage difference between the internal node voltage and the power port voltage, and when the external power signal received by the power port contains ground bounce noise, the connection between the power port and the power end of the internal circuit is disconnected to prevent the ground bounce noise from entering the internal circuit, which can improve the stability of the chip. In addition, the power control circuit can adaptively determine whether the external power signal contains ground bounce noise based on the amplitude and duration of the ground bounce noise, without collecting the power level output signal, so there is no need to set up additional circuits to monitor the chip power level working state, and there is no need to set up additional circuits to monitor, collect and transmit the power level output signal, which can reduce the circuit complexity, thereby reducing the chip area.

[0082] In some embodiments, Figure 5 A circuit diagram of a power control circuit provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown in FIG. Figure 5As shown, the forward comparison unit 121 includes a first transistor M1 and a first resistor R1. Among them, the control terminal of the first transistor M1 is connected to the first output terminal of the node voltage generation module 110, the first terminal of the first transistor M1 is connected to the power supply port VCC, the second terminal of the first transistor M1 is connected to the first input terminal of the control module 130 and the first terminal of the first resistor R1, and the second terminal of the first resistor R1 is connected to the chip ground GND_CHIP.

[0083] Exemplarily, the first transistor M1 may be a P-type metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (P-Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor, PMOS). The gate of the first transistor M1 is connected to the output terminal of the first node voltage generation unit 111. Then, the gate voltage of the first transistor M1 is the first internal node voltage Vnode1, the source of the first transistor M1 is connected to the power supply port VCC, so the source voltage of the first transistor M1 is the power supply port voltage Vcc, and the drain of the first transistor M1 is connected to the input terminal of the forward signal generation unit 131 and the first terminal of the first resistor R1. Then, the drain voltage of the first transistor M1 is the first comparison signal.

[0084] The first preset voltage Vth1 is the threshold voltage of the first transistor M1. When the external power supply signal received by the power supply port VCC contains positive ground bounce noise, Vcc - Vnode1 ≥ Vth1, that is, Vcc ≥ Vnode1 + Vth1. The first transistor M1 is in the conducting state, and the drain voltage of the first transistor M1 is pulled up to the power supply port voltage Vcc. Then, the first comparison signal provided by the forward comparison unit 121 to the forward signal generation unit 131 is the first level signal to disconnect the connection between the power supply port VCC and the positive power supply terminal AVDD of the internal circuit.

[0085] When the external power supply signal received by the power supply port VCC does not contain positive ground bounce noise, Vcc - Vnode1 < Vth1, that is, Vcc < Vnode1 + Vth1. The first transistor M1 is in the off state, and the drain voltage of the first transistor M1 is pulled down to the chip ground GND_CHIP. Then, the first comparison signal provided by the forward comparison unit 121 to the forward signal generation unit 131 is the second level signal to support the conduction of the connection between the power supply port VCC and the positive power supply terminal AVDD of the internal circuit.

[0087] Exemplarily, the second transistor M2 may be a PMOS, and the gate of the second transistor M2 is connected to the first plate of the first capacitor C1 and the first end of the third resistor R3. When the power port voltage Vcc changes, the presence of the first capacitor C1 causes the gate voltage of the second transistor M2 to follow the power port voltage Vcc. It can be considered that the gate voltage of the second transistor M2 is equal to the power port voltage Vcc in a transient state. When the power port voltage Vcc does not change, the gate voltage of the second transistor M2 is the internal circuit voltage Vdd, and Vdd=Vcc. The gate voltage of the second transistor M2 is equal to the internal circuit voltage Vdd or the power port voltage Vcc in a static state.

[0088] The source of the second transistor M2 is connected to the output end of the second node voltage generating unit 112, and the source voltage of the second transistor M1 is the second internal node voltage Vnode2. The drain of the second transistor M2 is connected to the input end of the negative signal generating unit 132 and the first end of the second resistor R2, and the drain voltage of the second transistor M2 is the second comparison signal.

[0089] The second preset voltage Vth2 is the threshold voltage of the second transistor M2. When the external power signal received by the power port VCC contains negative ground bounce noise, the power port voltage Vcc changes. At this time, the gate voltage of the second transistor M2 is the power port voltage Vcc, Vnode2-Vcc≥Vth2, that is, Vcc+Vth2≤Vnode2, the second transistor M2 is in the on state, and the drain voltage of the second transistor M2 is pulled up to the power port voltage Vcc. The second comparison signal provided by the negative comparison unit 122 to the negative signal generation unit 132 is a first level signal to disconnect the power port VCC from the positive power supply terminal AVDD of the internal circuit.

[0090] When the external power supply signal received by the power supply port VCC does not contain negative ground bounce noise, if the power supply port VCC is used as an input and the positive power supply terminal AVDD of the internal circuit is used as an output, the gate voltage of the second transistor M2 is the power supply port voltage Vcc, and Vnode2 - Vcc < Vth2, that is, Vcc + Vth2 > Vnode2. The second transistor M2 is in an off state, and the drain voltage of the second transistor M2 is pulled down to the chip ground GND_CHIP. Then, the second comparison signal provided by the negative comparison unit 122 to the negative signal generation unit 132 is a second-level signal to support conducting the power supply port VCC and the positive power supply terminal AVDD of the internal circuit.

[0091] When the external power supply signal received by the power supply port VCC does not contain negative ground bounce noise, if the power supply port VCC is used as an output and the positive power supply terminal AVDD of the internal circuit is used as an input, the gate voltage of the second transistor M2 is the internal circuit voltage Vdd, and Vnode2 - Vdd < Vth2, that is, Vdd + Vth2 > Vnode2. The second transistor M2 is in an off state, and the drain voltage of the second transistor M2 is pulled down to the chip ground GND_CHIP. Then, the second comparison signal provided by the negative comparison unit 122 to the negative signal generation unit 132 is a second-level signal to support conducting the power supply port VCC and the positive power supply terminal AVDD of the internal circuit.
