Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application of the invention patent application with application number 202311227254.2 submitted to the China Patent Office, application date September 22, 2023, and invention name “Power supply circuit and electronic equipment”. All the contents of the original application are incorporated into this application by reference. Technical Field

[0002] The present application relates to the field of circuit technology, and in particular to an electronic device. Background Art

[0003] An electronic device such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, or a laptop computer may include two batteries, which may be referred to as a first battery and a second battery. The electronic device also includes a charge-discharge chip. When the electronic device is working, the first battery and the second battery supply power to the electronic devices in the electronic device through the charge-discharge chip.

[0004] In the related art, an impedance module is further connected between the first battery and the second battery. By adjusting the impedance of the impedance module, the first battery and the second battery can output electrical energy to the charge and discharge chip at the same time.

[0005] However, due to the influence of the impedance module and the charge-discharge chip, the impedance between the first battery, the second battery and the electronic device is relatively large. In this case, when the electronic device generates a large peak current, a large voltage drop will occur in the power supply circuit, which is easy to trigger the low-voltage lock mechanism of the electronic device, which is not conducive to the stable operation of the electronic device. Summary of the invention

[0006] The present application provides a power supply circuit and an electronic device, which can avoid a large voltage drop in the power supply circuit when the electronic device generates a large peak current, thereby improving the working stability of the electronic device. The technical solution is as follows:

[0007] In a first aspect, a power supply circuit is provided. The power supply circuit is applied to electronic equipment and includes an impedance module, a first battery, a first electronic device, a charge and discharge chip, a second battery, a second electronic device, and a power module.

[0008] The power module may include one or more electronic devices. The first electronic device and the second electronic device are other electronic devices outside the power module. When the electronic device is working, the first battery and / or the second battery needs to supply power to the first electronic device, the second electronic device and the electronic devices in the power module. In the present application, the peak current generated when the first electronic device is working is greater than or equal to the first threshold value. Here, the peak current refers to the difference between the maximum current value and the average current value generated when the electronic device is working. The first threshold is a current threshold used to determine whether the peak current generated when the electronic device is working is large. The peak current generated when the second electronic device is working is also greater than or equal to the first threshold value. In other words, both the first electronic device and the second electronic device will generate a large peak current when they are working.

[0009] The first electronic device is directly connected to the first battery so that the first battery alone supplies power to the first electronic device. The second electronic device is directly connected to the second battery so that the second battery alone supplies power to the second electronic device. The first end of the impedance module is connected to the first battery, the second end of the impedance module is connected to the second battery and the first end of the charge-discharge chip, and the second end of the charge-discharge chip is connected to the power-consuming module so that the first battery and the second battery supply power to one or more electronic devices in the power-consuming module through the charge-discharge chip.

[0010] In the present application, the power supply circuit includes an impedance module, a first battery, a first electronic device, a charge and discharge chip, a second battery, a second electronic device and a power module. Among them, the first battery and the second battery jointly supply power to the power module through the charge and discharge chip, which can increase the working time of the power module compared to one of the first battery and the second battery supplying power to the power module through the charge and discharge chip, thereby ensuring the endurance of the electronic device used in the power supply circuit. The first electronic device and the second electronic device are electronic devices that generate a large peak current when working. The first electronic device is independent of the power module and is directly connected to the first battery, and is not connected to the first battery through the charge and discharge chip and the impedance module, which can reduce the impedance between the first electronic device and the first battery, so that the voltage drop formed when the first electronic device generates a peak current when working can be reduced. Similarly, the second electronic device is independent of the power module and is directly connected to the second battery, which can also reduce the voltage drop formed when the second electronic device generates a peak current when working. By reducing the voltage drop formed when the electronic device generates a peak current when working, the low voltage locking mechanism of the electronic device can be avoided from being triggered, thereby improving the working stability of the electronic device. At the same time, the first battery and the second battery are both directly connected to the electronic device, which is more conducive to keeping the voltage difference between the two batteries small compared to only one of the first battery and the second battery being connected to the electronic device, thereby improving the working stability of the electronic device.

[0011] In some embodiments, the first electronic device and the second electronic device may both be audio power amplifiers or radio frequency power amplifiers.

[0012] In some embodiments, the first electronic device and the second electronic device are both electronic devices with a large peak current and a small mean current. The mean current refers to the average current value generated when the electronic device is working. For example, the first electronic device and the second electronic device can be electronic devices whose average current value generated when working is less than or equal to the second threshold. The large peak current and small mean current here are relative to other electronic devices in the power module.

[0013] In some embodiments, the power module includes a plurality of electronic devices, and any one of the plurality of electronic devices in the power module is an electronic device with a relatively small peak current and a relatively large average current.

[0014] For example, among the multiple electronic devices of the power module, the peak current of any one of the electronic devices is less than the third threshold value. Here, the third threshold value is less than or equal to the first threshold value. In other words, the peak current of any one of the multiple electronic devices of the power module must be less than the first threshold value.

[0015] For example, among the multiple electronic devices of the power module, the average current of any electronic device is greater than the fourth threshold. Here, the fourth threshold is greater than or equal to the second threshold. In other words, the average current of any electronic device among the multiple electronic devices of the power module must be greater than the second threshold.

[0016] In some embodiments, the rated capacity of the first battery is different from the rated capacity of the second battery. In this case, in order to keep the voltage difference between the two batteries as small as possible, the electronic device that consumes more power among the first and second electronic devices can be connected to the battery with a larger rated capacity among the first and second batteries, and the electronic device that consumes less power among the first and second electronic devices can be connected to the battery with a smaller rated capacity among the first and second batteries.

[0017] For example, in some specific embodiments, the rated capacity of the first battery is greater than the rated capacity of the second battery, and the power consumption of the first electronic device within a preset time period is greater than the power consumption of the second electronic device within the preset time period.

[0018] For another example, in some other specific embodiments, the rated capacity of the first battery is greater than the rated capacity of the second battery. The average current of the first electronic device is greater than the average current of the second electronic device. In other words, when the average currents are not equal, the amount of power consumed by the electronic device when it is working can be determined based on the size of the average current generated by the electronic device when it is working.

[0019] In other embodiments, the rated capacity of the first battery is different from the rated capacity of the second battery, and the first battery and the second battery can be directly connected to multiple electronic devices. In this case, in order to keep the voltage difference between the two batteries as small as possible, the electronic device connected to the battery with a larger rated capacity consumes more power, and the electronic device connected to the battery with a smaller rated capacity consumes less power.

[0020] For example, in some specific embodiments, the power supply circuit further includes a third electronic device. The third electronic device is connected to the first battery. The sum of the power consumption of the first electronic device within a preset time period and the power consumption of the third electronic device within a preset time period is greater than the power consumption of the second electronic device within the preset time period.

[0021] In some embodiments, the impedance module includes a first transistor, a second transistor and a controller. The first end of the first transistor is connected to the first battery and the first electronic device. The second end of the first transistor is connected to the first end of the second transistor. The second end of the second transistor is connected to the first end of the charge-discharge chip, the second battery and the second electronic device. The controller is connected to the control end of the first transistor and the control end of the second transistor. The controller is used to control the voltage of the control end of the first transistor and the control end of the second transistor so that the voltage output by the first battery to the first end of the charge-discharge chip through the impedance module is equal to the voltage output by the second battery to the first end of the charge-discharge chip.

[0022] In some embodiments, the impedance module further includes: a first resistor, a third transistor, a first capacitor, a second resistor, a second capacitor and a third resistor. The first end of the first resistor is connected to the second end of the first transistor and the first end of the second transistor. The second end of the first resistor is connected to the first end of the third transistor, the control end of the first transistor and the control end of the second transistor, and the second end of the third transistor is connected to the ground line. The first plate of the first capacitor is connected to the first end of the third transistor, and the second plate of the first capacitor is connected to the second end of the third transistor. The first end of the second resistor is connected to the controller, and the second end of the second resistor is connected to the control end of the third transistor. The first plate of the second capacitor is connected to the control end of the third transistor, and the second plate of the second capacitor is connected to the second end of the third transistor. The first end of the third resistor is connected to the control end of the third transistor, and the second end of the third resistor is connected to the second end of the third transistor.

[0023] In a second aspect, an electronic device is also provided, comprising a power supply circuit as described in any one of the first aspects.

[0024] In some embodiments, the electronic device includes a first structural member and a second structural member. The first structural member and the second structural member are movably connected. The impedance module, the first battery and the first electronic device are located in the first structural member. The second battery and the second electronic device are located in the second structural member. The charging and discharging chip is located in any one of the first structural member and the second structural member.

[0025] In some embodiments, the charge and discharge chip is located in the first structural member; the second battery is connected to the first end of the charge and discharge chip via a flexible circuit board.

[0026] The technical effect obtained by the above-mentioned second aspect is similar to the technical effect obtained by the corresponding technical means in the above-mentioned first aspect, and will not be repeated here. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0058] Before explaining the power supply circuit provided in the embodiment of the present application in detail, the application scenarios and related technologies of the power supply circuit are first explained.

[0059] With the rapid development of electronic devices, electronic devices such as foldable screen mobile phones, tablet computers, and laptop computers may include two batteries. Taking the electronic device 10 as an example, a foldable screen mobile phone, Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the appearance of an electronic device 10 along a first direction in the related art, Figure 2 1 is a schematic diagram of the appearance of an electronic device 10 along the second direction in the related art, and the first direction and the second direction are two opposite directions. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the electronic device 10 may include a first structure 12 and a second structure 14. The first structure 12 and the second structure 14 are movably connected so that the first structure 12 and the second structure 14 can rotate around the connection. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first structural member 12 and the second structural member 14 are movably connected via a hinge 16 .

[0060] Figure 3 1 is a schematic diagram of the internal structure of an electronic device 10 in the related art. For ease of description, the two batteries in the electronic device 10 are respectively referred to as a first battery 112 and a second battery 114. Figure 3 As shown, the first battery 112 may be located in the first structural member 12, and the second battery 114 may be located in the second structural member 14. The electronic device 10 further includes a charge-discharge chip 130. The charge-discharge chip 130 may be located in the first structural member 12 or the second structural member 14. Figure 3 In the illustrated embodiment, the charging and discharging chip 130 is located in the first structural member 12 .

[0061] Figure 4 is a circuit structure diagram of a power supply circuit 11 of an electronic device 10 in the related art, and Figure 4 The power supply circuit 11 shown is Figure 3 The internal structure of the electronic device 10 shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown, the electronic device 10 also includes a power module 140 ( Figure 3 ). The power module 140 may include N electronic devices, where N is a positive integer. The electronic device here refers to a device that needs to input electrical energy when working in the electronic device 10. For example, the electronic device may be a power management chip (power management integrated circuit, PMIC), a system-level chip (system on chip, SOC), a mobile communication module, a wireless communication module, an audio module, a sensor module, a motor, an indicator, a camera, a display screen, etc. in the electronic device 10. Among them, the mobile communication module and the wireless communication module may include a filter, a switch, a radio frequency power amplifier, a low noise amplifier (low noise amplifier, LNA), etc. The audio module may include an audio power amplifier, and a speaker, a receiver, a microphone, a headphone interface, etc. connected to the audio power amplifier. The sensor module may include a pressure sensor, a gyroscope, an air pressure sensor, a magnetic sensor, an acceleration sensor, a distance sensor, a proximity light sensor, a fingerprint recognition device, a temperature sensor, a touch sensor, an ambient light sensor, a bone conduction sensor, etc.

[0062] The charge-discharge chip 130 has a first end and a second end. The first battery 112 and the second battery 114 need to be connected to the first end of the charge-discharge chip 130, and the second end of the charge-discharge chip 130 is connected to the power module 140, so that when the electronic device 10 is working, the first battery 112 and the second battery 114 can supply power to multiple electronic devices in the power module 140 through the charge-discharge chip 130.

[0063] In related technologies, such as Figure 3and Figure 4 As shown, when the first battery 112 and the charge-discharge chip 130 are located in the first structural member 12, and the second battery 114 is located in the second structural member 14, in order to connect the second battery 114 with the charge-discharge chip 130, the electronic device 10 further includes a flexible printed circuit (FPC). The FPC bypasses the hinge 16 and extends from the first structural member 12 to the second structural member 14, and the charge-discharge chip 130 in the first structural member 12 and the second battery 114 in the second structural member 14 transmit electrical signals through the FPC. In this case, since the FPC is long and has a large impedance, an impedance module 120 is also connected between the first end of the first battery 112 and the charge-discharge chip 130. The impedance of the impedance module 120 is adjustable. By adjusting the impedance of the impedance module 120, the voltage output by the first battery 112 to the first end of the charge and discharge chip 130 through the impedance module 120 can be equal to the voltage output by the second battery 114 to the first end of the charge and discharge chip 130 through the FPC, so that the first battery 112 and the second battery 114 can output electrical energy to the charge and discharge chip 130 at the same time.

[0064] However, due to the influence of the impedance module 120 and the charge-discharge chip 130, the impedance between the first battery 112 and the multiple electronic devices of the power module 140 is relatively large. Similarly, due to the influence of the FPC and the charge-discharge chip 130, the impedance between the second battery 114 and the multiple electronic devices of the power module 140 is also relatively large. In this case, when any electronic device in the power module 140 generates a large peak current, a large voltage drop will be generated in the power supply circuit 11, which is easy to trigger the undervoltage lockout (UVLO) mechanism of the electronic device 10, which is not conducive to the stable operation of the electronic device 10.

[0065] For example, the circuit in which the first battery 112 supplies power to the power module 140 through the impedance module 120 and the charge-discharge chip 130 is called the first power supply circuit 11A; the circuit in which the second battery 114 supplies power to the power module 140 through the FPC and the charge-discharge chip 130 is called the second power supply circuit 11B. Figure 5 As shown, the second power supply subcircuit 11B can be Figure 6 shown.

[0066] exist Figure 5 In the embodiment shown, the electronic devices in the power module 140 include the SOC and the electronic device A. Assume that when the electronic device A is working, a large peak current will be generated. In this case, when the electronic device A is working, the voltage drop generated in the first power supply circuit 11A (i.e., the voltage drop from the first battery 112 to the second end of the charge-discharge chip 130) is:

[0067] U1=I1R, wherein U1 is the voltage drop generated in the first power supply subcircuit 11A when the electronic device A is working; I1 is the current output from the first battery 112 to the electronic device A when the electronic device A is working; and R is the sum of the impedance of the wire in the first power supply subcircuit 11A, the impedance of the impedance module 120, and the impedance of the charge-discharge chip 130.

[0068] The input voltage of the SOC is equal to the voltage of the second terminal of the charge-discharge chip 130. The input voltage of the SOC is:

[0069] VPH=VBAT− U1 , wherein VPH is the input voltage of the SOC, and VBAT is the voltage of the first battery 112 .

[0070] It can be seen that when the electronic device A generates a large peak current during operation, the current I1 output from the first battery 112 to the electronic device A also generates a peak value, and the voltage drop generated in the first power supply subcircuit 11A will also be large.

[0071] For example, when the electronic device 10 is working, the maximum voltage of the first battery 112 is 4.45V (volts) and the minimum is 2.8V. The lower the power of the first battery 112, the smaller the voltage. The rated voltage of SOC is generally 2.7V, and the UVLO voltage of SOC is generally 2.35V. When the current I1 output by the first battery 112 to the electronic device A is 5A (amperes) and 100mΩ (milliohms), then according to the above formula, the voltage drop generated in the first power supply sub-circuit 11A is equal to 500mV (millivolts), that is, 0.5V. If the power of the first battery 112 is low at this time, and the voltage of the first battery 112 is 3V, then due to the voltage drop generated in the first power supply sub-circuit 11A, the input voltage of SOC is only 2.5V, which is lower than the rated voltage of SOC and close to the UVLO voltage of SOC, which easily leads to low voltage lock of SOC. If the current I1 generated by the electronic device A is larger, for example, I1 is 6.5A, the SOC may be directly locked, and the electronic device 10 may become abnormal and shut down.

[0072] The second power supply subcircuit 11B also has the same problem as the first power supply subcircuit 11A, which will not be described in detail. Therefore, in the related art, when the voltage of the first battery 112 and the second battery 114 is low, the input voltage of the SOC may be lower than the rated voltage of the SOC, thereby causing the electronic device 10 to freeze. The input voltage of the SOC may even be lower than the UVLO voltage of the SOC, causing the electronic device 10 to shut down abnormally, which is not conducive to the stable operation of the electronic device 10.

[0073] To this end, an embodiment of the present application provides a power supply circuit and an electronic device, which can avoid a large voltage drop in the power supply circuit when the electronic device generates a large peak current, thereby improving the working stability of the electronic device.

[0074] The power supply circuit provided in the embodiment of the present application is explained in detail below. In each embodiment of the present application, the connection between any electrical modules and electronic devices refers to electrical connection. The electrical connection here refers to connection through a wire so that electrical signals can be transmitted between two electrical modules or / and electronic devices. The connection between two electrical modules and electronic devices can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through other electrical modules and / or electronic devices.

[0075] Figure 7 2 is a circuit structure diagram of a power supply circuit 21 provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 7 As shown, the power supply circuit 21 includes an impedance module 220 , a first battery 212 , a first electronic device 252 , a charge and discharge chip 230 , a second battery 214 , a second electronic device 254 and a power module 240 .

[0076] The impedance module 220 is an electrical module with adjustable impedance. The impedance module 220 has a first end and a second end. The first end of the impedance module 220 is connected to the first battery 212, and the second end of the impedance module 220 is connected to the first end a of the charge and discharge chip 230. In this way, by adjusting the impedance of the impedance module 220, the voltage output by the first battery 212 to the first end a of the charge and discharge chip 230 through the impedance module 220 can be adjusted. In some specific embodiments, the impedance module 220 may include a transistor, and the impedance of the impedance module 220 can be adjusted by adjusting the conduction degree of the transistor. In other specific embodiments, the impedance module 220 may also include an adjustable resistor, and the impedance of the impedance module 220 can be adjusted by adjusting the resistance value of the adjustable resistor.

[0077] The power module 240 may include one or more electronic devices. The first electronic device 252 and the second electronic device 254 are other electronic devices independent of the power module 240. As mentioned above, an electronic device refers to a device in an electronic device that requires input of electrical energy when working. In other words, when the electronic device is working, the first battery 212 and / or the second battery 214 need to supply power to the first electronic device 252, the second electronic device 254 and the electronic devices in the power module 240, which will not be repeated here.

[0078] The first electronic device 252 and the second electronic device 254 are both electronic devices that generate a large peak current when working. Here, a first threshold value can be defined, and the first threshold value is a current threshold value used to determine whether the peak current generated by the electronic device when working is large. When the peak current of the electronic device is greater than or equal to the first threshold value, it is determined that the electronic device will generate a large peak current when working. The first threshold value can be set by those skilled in the art according to needs and experience. For example, in some specific embodiments, the first threshold value can be 2.5A, 3A or 3.5A, for example. That is to say, the peak current generated by the first electronic device 252 when working is greater than or equal to the first threshold value, and the peak current generated by the second electronic device 254 when working is also greater than or equal to the first threshold value. In a preferred embodiment, the first threshold value is 3A.

[0079] Peak current refers to the difference between the maximum current value and the average current value generated by an electronic device when it is working. For example, Figure 8 : is a current curve diagram of an electronic device provided in an embodiment of the present application when it is working, wherein the ordinate I represents the current and the abscissa T represents the time. Figure 8 As shown, straight line ① represents the average current value when the electronic device is working, that is, the average current value when the electronic device is working is I1; curve ② is the current curve when the electronic device is working. It can be seen that the maximum current value generated by the electronic device when it is working is I2. Based on this, the peak current generated by the electronic device when it is working is equal to the difference between I2 and I1, that is, △I. When △I is greater than or equal to the first threshold, it indicates that the electronic device will generate a large peak current when it is working.

[0080] The charge and discharge chip 230 has a first end a and a second end b. As mentioned above, the first end a of the charge and discharge chip 230 is connected to the first battery 212 through the impedance module 220. Here, the first end a of the charge and discharge chip 230 is also connected to the second battery 214. The second end b of the charge and discharge chip 230 is used to connect to the power module 240. Fig. 9 is a schematic diagram of the internal structure of a charge-discharge chip 230 provided in an embodiment of the present application, such as Fig. 9As shown, the charge and discharge chip 230 also has a third terminal c, and the third terminal c of the charge and discharge chip 230 is used to connect to the charger. Generally, a voltage conversion circuit 232 can be connected between the first terminal a and the third terminal c of the charge and discharge chip 230. The voltage conversion circuit 232 is a DC BOOST (boost conversion) circuit or / and a DC BUCK (buck conversion) circuit, which is used to achieve boost or buck of DC power. A transistor M0 can be connected between the first terminal a and the second terminal b of the charge and discharge chip 230. When the transistor M0 is turned on, if the third terminal c of the charge-discharge chip 230 is connected to the charger, a path is formed in the charge-discharge chip 230 starting from the third terminal c of the charge-discharge chip 230, through the voltage conversion circuit 232 and the transistor M0 to the second terminal b of the charge-discharge chip 230, and the path can supply power to the electronic devices in the power-consuming module 240; at the same time, a path is also formed in the charge-discharge chip 230 starting from the third terminal c of the charge-discharge chip 230, through the voltage conversion circuit 232 to the first terminal a of the charge-discharge chip 230, and the path can charge the first battery 212 and the second battery 214. When the transistor M0 is turned on, if the third terminal c of the charge-discharge chip 230 is not connected to the charger, a path is formed in the charge-discharge chip 230 starting from the first terminal a of the charge-discharge chip 230, through the transistor M0 to the second terminal b of the charge-discharge chip 230. In this case, the first battery 212 and the second battery 214 can supply power to the electronic devices in the power-consuming module 240 through the path formed in the charge-discharge chip 230.

[0081] In the embodiment of the present application, the connection mode between the first electronic device 252, the second electronic device 254 and the battery (including the first battery 212 and the second battery 214) is different from the connection mode between the electronic device and the battery in the power module 240. Specifically, Figure 7 As shown, the first electronic device 252 is directly connected to the first battery 212. That is, the first electronic device 252, the first battery 212, and the first end of the impedance module 220 are connected to the same node, so that the first battery 212 alone supplies power to the first electronic device 252. Similarly, the second electronic device 254 is directly connected to the second battery 214, so that the second battery 214 alone supplies power to the second electronic device 254.

[0082] In the power supply circuit 21, the first electronic device 252 and the second electronic device 254 are electronic devices that generate a large peak current when working. The first electronic device 252 is independent of the power module 240 and is directly connected to the first battery 212, and is not connected to the first battery 212 through the charge and discharge chip 230 and the impedance module 220, which can reduce the impedance between the first electronic device 252 and the first battery 212, so that the voltage drop formed when the first electronic device 252 generates a peak current when working can be reduced. Similarly, the second electronic device 254 is independent of the power module 240 and is directly connected to the second battery 214, which can also reduce the voltage drop formed when the second electronic device 254 generates a peak current when working. By reducing the voltage drop formed when the electronic device generates a peak current when working, the UVLO of the electronic device can be avoided from being triggered, thereby improving the working stability of the electronic device.

[0083] For example, Figure 7 The power supply circuit 21 shown can be divided into a first power supply sub-circuit 21A and a second power supply sub-circuit 21B. Fig.10 is a circuit structure diagram of a first power supply sub-circuit 21A provided in an embodiment of the present application, such as Fig.10 As shown, the first power supply subcircuit 21A refers to the part of the power supply circuit 21 where the first battery 212 supplies power to the power module 240 through the impedance module 220 and the charge and discharge chip 230 and the part where the first battery 212 supplies power to the first electronic device 252 . Fig.11 is a circuit structure diagram of a second power supply sub-circuit 21B provided in an embodiment of the present application, such as Fig.11 As shown, the second power supply subcircuit 21B refers to the part of the power supply circuit 21 where the second battery 214 supplies power to the power module 240 through the charge and discharge chip 230 and the part where the second battery 214 supplies power to the second electronic device 254 .

[0084] exist Fig.10 In the embodiment shown, the power module 240 includes a SOC, a display screen and other electronic devices. The node to which the first electronic device 252, the first battery 212 and the first end of the impedance module 220 are connected is called a node F. Fig.10 The equivalent circuit diagram of the first power supply subcircuit 21A shown can be as follows Fig.12 As shown, the resistor R12 is the equivalent resistance of the wire connected from the first battery 212 to the node F; the resistor R11 is the equivalent resistance from the node F to the second end b of the charge-discharge chip 230, and its magnitude is equal to the sum of the impedance of the wire from the node F to the second end b of the charge-discharge chip 230, the impedance of the impedance module 220 and the impedance of the charge-discharge chip 230.

[0085] The input voltage of the SOC is equal to the voltage of the second terminal b of the charge-discharge chip 230. In this case, the input voltage of the SOC is:

[0086] VPH=VBAT-I1×R 12 -I 11 ×R 11

[0087] I1=I 11 +I 12 Wherein, VPH is the input voltage of SOC, VBAT is the voltage of the first battery 212, I1 is the total current output by the first battery 212, R 12 is the impedance of resistor R12, I 11 is the current output from the first battery 212 to the power module 240, R 11 is the impedance of resistor R11, I 12 is the current output from the first battery 212 to the first electronic device 252 .

[0088] It can be seen that when the first electronic device 252 generates a larger peak current, that is, the current I output by the first battery 212 to the first electronic device 252 is 12 When a peak value is generated, the total current I1 output by the first battery 212 generates a peak value, but does not affect the current I output by the first battery 212 to the power module 240. 11 Since the resistor R12 is only the equivalent resistance of the wire, that is, the impedance of the resistor R12 is R 12 Therefore, the peak value of the total current I1 output by the first battery 212 has little effect on the input voltage VPH of the SOC.

[0089] For example, when the electronic device to which the power supply circuit 21 is applied is working, the maximum voltage of the first battery 212 is 4.45V and the minimum voltage is 2.8V. The lower the power of the first battery 212, the lower the voltage. The rated voltage of the SOC is generally 2.7V, and the UVLO voltage of the SOC is generally 2.35V. When the current I output by the first battery 212 to the first electronic device 252 is 12 is 5A, the current I output by the first battery 212 to the power module 240 11 is 2A, the impedance of resistor R12 is R 12 The impedance of resistor R11 is 1mΩ. 11is 100mΩ. If the voltage of the first battery 212 is 3V at this time, then according to the above formula, the input voltage of the SOC is 2.793V, which is higher than the rated voltage of the SOC and much larger than the UVLO voltage of the SOC. In this way, while meeting the power supply demand of the first electronic device 252, the low voltage lock mechanism of the electronic device can be avoided, thereby improving the working stability of the electronic device. In other words, since the current I output by the first battery 212 to the first electronic device 252 12 The current does not need to flow through the impedance module 220 and the charge-discharge chip 230, which can avoid a large voltage drop in the power supply circuit 21, thereby improving the working stability of the electronic device. The second power supply subcircuit 21B can also produce the same effect, which will not be described in detail.

[0090] The power supply circuit 21 provided in the embodiment of the present application also has the following beneficial effects: the first battery 212 and the second battery 214 jointly supply power to the power module 240 through the charge and discharge chip 230, which can increase the working time of the power module 240 compared to one of the first battery 212 and the second battery 214 supplying power to the power module 240, thereby ensuring the endurance of the electronic device used by the power supply circuit 21. The lower the battery power, the lower the voltage, so the first battery 212 and the second battery 214 are both directly connected to the electronic device, which is more conducive to keeping the voltage difference between the two batteries smaller than only one of the first battery 212 and the second battery 214 is connected to the electronic device, thereby improving the working stability of the electronic device.

[0091] In some embodiments, as mentioned above, when the power supply circuit 21 is applied to electronic devices such as foldable screen mobile phones, the electronic device also includes an FPC. In this case, the circuit structure of the power supply circuit 21 can be as follows: Fig.13 Specifically, in the second power supply circuit 21B, the second battery 214, the second electronic device 254 and the first end of the FPC are connected together, and the second end of the FPC is used to connect to the first end a of the charge and discharge chip 230. In this way, the current output from the second battery 214 to the second electronic device 254 does not need to flow through the FPC with a large impedance, thereby avoiding a large voltage drop in the power supply circuit 21 and improving the working stability of the electronic device.

[0092] The differences between the first electronic device 252 and the second electronic device 254 and the electronic device in the power module 240 are explained in detail below.

[0093] The first electronic device 252 and the second electronic device 254 can both be electronic devices with a large peak current and a small average current. The peak current refers to the difference between the maximum current value and the average current value generated when the electronic device is working, and the large peak current means that the peak current of the electronic device is greater than or equal to the first threshold value, which will not be repeated.

[0094] The mean current refers to the average current value generated when the electronic device is working. Here, a second threshold value can also be defined. The second threshold value is a current threshold value used to determine whether the mean current generated when the electronic device is working is small. When the mean current of the electronic device is less than or equal to the second threshold value, it is determined that the electronic device will generate a smaller mean current when it is working. The second threshold value can be set by those skilled in the art according to needs and experience. For example, the second threshold value can be 0.8A, 1A or 1.2A. That is, the average current value generated when the first electronic device 252 is working is less than or equal to the second threshold value, and the average current value generated when the second electronic device 254 is working is also less than or equal to the second threshold value. In a preferred embodiment, the second threshold value is 1A. In some embodiments, the current curve diagram of an electronic device with a large peak current and a small mean current when it is working can be as shown below. Figure 8 In some specific embodiments, the first electronic device 252 and the second electronic device 254 may be a radio frequency power amplifier in a communication module (including a mobile communication module and a wireless communication module), an LNA in a communication module, or an audio power amplifier in an audio module.

[0095] Any one of the multiple electronic devices in the power-consuming module 240 is an electronic device with a smaller peak current and a larger average current.

[0096] Here, a third threshold value can be defined. The third threshold value is a current threshold value used to determine whether the peak current generated by the electronic device when it is working is small. When the peak current of the electronic device is less than the third threshold value, it is determined that the electronic device will generate a smaller peak current when it is working. The third threshold value is less than or equal to the first threshold value, and the third threshold value can be set by those skilled in the art according to needs and experience. For example, in some specific embodiments, when the first threshold value is 3A, the third threshold value may be 0.5A, 1A, 2A or 3A. In a preferred embodiment, the third threshold value is 0.5A. That is to say, among the multiple electronic devices of the power module 240, the peak current of any electronic device is less than the third threshold value. In this case, there are:

[0097] The peak current of any electronic device in the power module 240 is less than the third threshold ≤ the first threshold ≤ the peak current of the first electronic device 252; and the peak current of any electronic device in the power module 240 is less than the third threshold ≤ the first threshold ≤ the peak current of the second electronic device 254.

[0098] It can be seen that the peak current of any electronic device in the power module 240 must be less than the first threshold. The peak currents of the first electronic device 252 and the second electronic device 254 are relatively large relative to any electronic device in the power module 240.

[0099] Here, a fourth threshold value can be defined. The fourth threshold value is a current threshold value used to determine whether the average current generated by the electronic device when it is working is large. When the average current of the electronic device is greater than the fourth threshold value, it is determined that the electronic device will generate a large average current when it is working. The fourth threshold value is greater than or equal to the second threshold value, and the fourth threshold value can be set by a technician in this field according to needs and experience. For example, in some specific embodiments, when the second threshold value is 1A, the fourth threshold value can be 1A, 2A or 3A, for example. In a preferred embodiment, the fourth threshold value is 3A. That is to say, among the multiple electronic devices of the power module 240, the average current of any electronic device is greater than the fourth threshold value. In this case, there are:

[0100] The average current of the first electronic device 252 ≤ the second threshold ≤ the fourth threshold < the average current of any electronic device in the power module 240 ; and the average current of the second electronic device 254 ≤ the second threshold ≤ the fourth threshold < the average current of any electronic device in the power module 240 .

[0101] It can be seen that the average current of any electronic device in the power module 240 must be greater than the second threshold. The smaller average currents of the first electronic device 252 and the second electronic device 254 are relative to any electronic device in the power module 240.

[0102] In some embodiments, the current curve diagram of the electronic device with a small peak current and a large average current when working can be as follows: Fig.14 As shown, the straight line ③ represents the average current value of the electronic device when it is working, that is, the average current value of the electronic device when it is working is I3; the curve ④ is the current curve of the electronic device when it is working. It can be seen that the maximum current value generated by the electronic device when it is working is I4, and the difference between I4 and I3 is less than the third threshold value. In some specific embodiments, the electronic devices in the power module 240 include PMIC, display screen, SOC, etc.

[0103] In this embodiment, when the multiple electronic devices in the power module 240 are all electronic devices with small peak currents and large average currents, the power supply circuit 21 also has the following beneficial effects: on the one hand, based on the fact that the multiple electronic devices in the power module 240 all have small peak currents, it is possible to avoid triggering the low-voltage locking mechanism of the electronic device due to the peak current generated by the electronic devices, thereby improving the working stability of the electronic device; on the other hand, based on the fact that the multiple electronic devices in the power module 240 all have large average currents, the first battery 212 and the second battery 214 jointly supply power to these electronic devices through the charging and discharging chip 230, which can increase the working time of these electronic devices, thereby ensuring the battery life of the electronic device to which the power supply circuit 21 is applied.

[0104] The power supply circuit 21 provided in the embodiment of the present application is further expanded as follows.

[0105] In some embodiments, affected by the form of the folding screen mobile phone, the volume of the first battery 212 and the volume of the second battery 214 may be different. In this case, the rated capacity of the first battery 212 and the rated capacity of the second battery 214 are also different. Based on this, the connection mode of each electronic device with a large peak current and a small mean current can be set according to the rated capacity of the first battery 212 and the rated capacity of the second battery 214. This is explained in detail from two possible situations.

[0106] 1. In a first possible scenario, the first battery 212 and the second battery 214 are each directly connected to an electronic device with a relatively large peak current and a relatively small average current.

[0107] Specifically, when the first battery 212 and the second battery 214 are each connected to an electronic device with a larger peak current and a smaller average current, in order to keep the voltage difference between the two batteries as small as possible, the electronic device that consumes more power in the first electronic device 252 and the second electronic device 254 can be connected to the battery with a larger rated capacity in the first battery 212 and the second battery 214, and the electronic device that consumes less power in the first electronic device 252 and the second electronic device 254 can be connected to the battery with a smaller rated capacity in the first battery 212 and the second battery 214. For example, as usual Figure 7 or Fig.13 As shown, the first battery 212 is directly connected to the first electronic device 252, and the second battery 214 is directly connected to the second electronic device 254. At this time, if the rated capacity of the first battery 212 is greater than the rated capacity of the second battery 214, the first electronic device 252 may be the electronic device that consumes more power of the two electronic devices (i.e., the first electronic device 252 and the second electronic device 254), and the second electronic device 254 is the electronic device that consumes less power of the two electronic devices.

[0108] In some specific embodiments, the amount of power consumed by an electronic device can be determined based on the power consumption of the electronic device within a preset time period when the user normally uses the electronic device. The preset time period here can be set by a person skilled in the art based on experience or needs. For example, the preset time period can be 1 day, 3 days, or 7 days, etc. If the power consumption of the first electronic device 252 within the preset time period is greater than the power consumption of the second electronic device 254 within the preset time period, it is determined that the first electronic device 252 is the electronic device that consumes more power of the two electronic devices, and the second electronic device 254 is the electronic device that consumes less power of the two electronic devices.

[0109] In other specific embodiments, the amount of power consumed by the electronic device can be determined based on the mean current of the electronic device. For example, in one possible embodiment, if the mean current of the first electronic device 252 is greater than the mean current of the second electronic device 254, it is determined that the first electronic device 252 is the electronic device that consumes more power of the two electronic devices, and the second electronic device 254 is the electronic device that consumes less power of the two electronic devices. In other words, when the mean currents are not equal, the amount of power consumed by the electronic device when it is working can be determined based on the size of the mean current generated by the electronic device when it is working.

[0110] Second, in the second possible situation, at least one of the first battery 212 and the second battery 214 may be directly connected to a plurality of electronic devices with large peak current and small average current. The plurality here refers to two or more integers.

[0111] Specifically, when at least one of the first battery 212 and the second battery 214 is directly connected to multiple electronic devices, in order to keep the voltage difference between the two batteries as small as possible, the electronic devices connected to the battery with a larger rated capacity can consume more power, and the electronic devices connected to the battery with a smaller rated capacity can consume less power. Fig.15 As shown, the first battery 212 is directly connected to the first electronic device 252 and the third electronic device 256, and the second battery 214 is directly connected to the second electronic device 254. At this time, if the rated capacity of the first battery 212 is greater than the rated capacity of the second battery 214, the sum of the power consumed by the first electronic device 252 and the power consumed by the third electronic device 256 can be greater than the power consumed by the second electronic device 254.

[0112] In some specific embodiments, the power consumption of the electronic device can be determined based on the power consumption of the electronic device within a preset time period when the user normally uses the electronic device. If the sum of the power consumption of the first electronic device 252 within the preset time period plus the power consumption of the third electronic device 256 within the preset time period is greater than the power consumption of the second electronic device 254 within the preset time period, it is determined that the sum of the power consumption of the first electronic device 252 plus the power consumption of the third electronic device 256 is greater than the power consumption of the second electronic device 254.

[0113] In other specific embodiments, the amount of power consumed by the electronic device can be determined based on the average current of the electronic device. For example, in one possible embodiment, if the sum of the average current of the first electronic device 252 and the average current of the third electronic device 256 is greater than the average current of the second electronic device 254, it is determined that the sum of the power consumed by the first electronic device 252 and the power consumed by the third electronic device 256 is greater than the power consumed by the second electronic device 254.

[0114] Understandably, in Fig.15 In the illustrated embodiment, the power supply circuit 21 provided in the embodiment of the present application is described by taking the first battery 212 directly connected to multiple electronic devices and the second battery 214 directly connected to one electronic device as an example. In some other embodiments, the first battery 212 may be directly connected to one electronic device and the second battery 214 may be directly connected to multiple electronic devices, and the electronic devices connected to the battery with a larger rated capacity consume more power, and the electronic devices connected to the battery with a smaller rated capacity consume less power. In some other embodiments, the first battery 212 and the second battery 214 may be directly connected to multiple electronic devices, which will not be described in detail.

[0115] Two specific implementations of the impedance module 220 are explained in detail below.

[0116] 1. In a first possible implementation manner, the impedance module 220 includes an impedance transformation unit 222 and a controller 224 .

[0117] Fig.16 2 is a circuit diagram of another power supply circuit 21 provided in an embodiment of the present application. Fig.16As shown, the impedance module 220 may include an impedance conversion unit 222 and a controller 224. The impedance conversion unit 222 has a first end and a second end. The first end of the impedance conversion unit 222 is connected to the first battery 212 and the first electronic device 252, and the second end of the impedance conversion unit 222 is connected to the first end a of the charge-discharge chip 230, the second battery 214 and the second electronic device 254. The control end of the impedance conversion unit 222 is connected to the controller 224, so that the controller 224 can adjust the impedance of the impedance conversion unit 222, that is, adjust the impedance between the first battery 212 and the first end a of the charge-discharge chip 230.

[0118] Fig.17 is a circuit diagram of a power supply circuit 21 provided in an embodiment of the present application. Fig.17 As shown, the impedance conversion unit 222 may include a first transistor M1 and a second transistor M2. The first end of the first transistor M1 is connected to the first battery 212 and the first electronic device 252. The second end of the first transistor M1 is connected to the first end of the second transistor M2, and the second end of the second transistor M2 is connected to the first end a of the charge and discharge chip 230, the second battery 214 and the second electronic device 254. Fig.17 In the illustrated embodiment, the first transistor M1 and the second transistor M2 are P-type transistors, such as P-type metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs). In other embodiments not shown, the first transistor M1 and the second transistor M2 may also be N-type transistors.

[0119] In this embodiment, the controller 224 is connected to the control end of the first transistor M1 and the control end of the second transistor M2. The controller 224 can control the voltage of the control end of the first transistor M1 and the control end of the second transistor M2 by outputting an analog signal, thereby controlling the conduction degree of the first transistor M1 and the second transistor M2, that is, controlling the impedance of the impedance conversion unit 222 formed by the first transistor M1 and the second transistor M2. For example, when the first transistor M1 and the second transistor M2 are both P-type transistors, the controller 224 can increase the impedance of the impedance conversion unit 222 by increasing the voltage of the control end of the first transistor M1 and the control end of the second transistor M2; or reduce the impedance of the impedance conversion unit 222 by reducing the voltage of the control end of the first transistor M1 and the control end of the second transistor M2.

[0120] 2. In a second possible implementation manner, the impedance module 220 includes an impedance transformation unit 222 , an impedance control unit 226 , a filtering unit 228 and a controller 224 .

[0121] Fig.18 2 is a circuit diagram of another power supply circuit 21 provided in an embodiment of the present application. Fig.18 As shown, the impedance module 220 may include an impedance transformation unit 222, an impedance control unit 226, a filter unit 228 and a controller 224. The filter unit 228 has an input end and an output end. The input end of the filter unit 228 is connected to the controller 224. The output end of the filter unit 228 is connected to the input end of the impedance control unit 226. The output end of the impedance control unit 226 is connected to the control end of the impedance transformation unit 222. The impedance transformation unit 222 also has a first end and a second end. The first end of the impedance transformation unit 222 is connected to the first battery 212 and the first electronic device 252, and the second end of the impedance transformation unit 222 is connected to the first end a of the charge and discharge chip 230, the second battery 214 and the second electronic device 254. In this way, by adjusting the impedance of the impedance transformation unit 222, the impedance between the first battery 212 and the first end a of the charge and discharge chip 230 can be adjusted.

[0122] Specifically, Fig.19 is a circuit diagram of an impedance module 220 provided in an embodiment of the present application. Fig.19 As shown, the impedance transformation unit 222 includes a first transistor M1 and a second transistor M2; the impedance control unit 226 includes a first resistor R1, a third transistor M3, a first capacitor C1 and a third resistor R3; the filtering unit 228 includes a second resistor R2 and a second capacitor C2.

[0123] The first end of the first transistor M1 is connected to the first battery 212 and the first electronic device 252. The second end of the first transistor M1 is connected to the first end of the second transistor M2, and the second end of the second transistor M2 is connected to the first end a of the charge-discharge chip 230, the second battery 214 and the second electronic device 254.

[0124] The first end of the first resistor R1 is connected to the second end of the first transistor M1 and the first end of the second transistor M2. The second end of the first resistor R1 is connected to the first end of the third transistor M3. The second end of the third transistor M3 is connected to the ground line GND. The first capacitor C1 is a parasitic capacitor of the third transistor M3. The first plate of the first capacitor C1 is connected to the first end of the third transistor M3, and the second plate of the first capacitor C1 is connected to the second end of the third transistor M3. The first end of the third resistor R3 is connected to the control end of the third transistor M3, and the second end of the third resistor R3 is connected to the second end of the third transistor M3. In an embodiment of the present application, the third transistor M3 can be an N-type transistor, such as an N-type MOSFET. The third resistor R3 is a pull-down resistor of the third transistor M3.

[0125] The first end of the second resistor R2 is connected to the controller 224, and the second end of the second resistor R2 is connected to the control end of the third transistor M3. The first plate of the second capacitor C2 is connected to the control end of the third transistor M3, and the second plate of the second capacitor C2 is connected to the second end of the third transistor M3. In other words, the filtering unit 228 is an RC filtering circuit composed of the second resistor R2 and the second capacitor C2.

[0126] When the power supply circuit 21 is working, the controller 224 can output a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal to the filter unit 228. The PWM signal is a square wave signal composed of a high level signal and a low level signal, and its waveform can be as follows: Fig. 20 As shown, the vertical axis U represents voltage and the horizontal axis T represents time. After the filter unit 228 inputs the PWM signal, it can filter the PWM signal and output a signal to the control terminal of the third transistor M3. The waveform of the output signal of the filter unit 228 is as follows: Fig.21 As shown. In this embodiment, the voltage of the output signal of the filter unit 228 can be adjusted by adjusting the duty cycle of the PWM signal. The duty cycle of the PWM signal refers to the percentage of the duration of the high-level signal in a cycle of the PWM signal to the total duration of the cycle. Among them, a cycle of the PWM signal consists of adjacent high-level signals and low-level signals. For example, Fig. 20 In the embodiment shown, the period from time t1 to time t2 is one cycle of the PWM signal. The duty cycle of the PWM signal is the percentage of the duration from time t01 to time t2 relative to the duration from time t1 to time t2. The greater the duty cycle of the PWM signal, the higher the voltage of the output signal of the filter unit 228. Conversely, the smaller the duty cycle of the PWM signal, the lower the voltage of the output signal of the filter unit 228.

[0127] When the controller 224 outputs a PWM signal, the frequency of the PWM signal is the same as the operating frequency of the filter unit 228. Here, the operating frequency of the filter unit 228 is: Wherein, R is the resistance of the second resistor R2, and C is the capacitance of the second capacitor C2. The frequency of the PWM signal refers to the number of cycles of the PWM signal within 1 second.

[0128] The first resistor R1 and the third transistor M3 are connected in series to form a voltage divider circuit. Since the third transistor M3 is an N-type transistor, the higher the voltage of the output signal of the filter unit 228, that is, the higher the voltage of the control terminal of the third transistor M3, the greater the conduction degree of the third transistor M3, that is, the smaller the impedance of the third transistor M3. The smaller the impedance of the third transistor M3, the lower the voltage of the node connected to the first end of the third transistor M3 and the second end of the first resistor R1, that is, the lower the voltage of the control terminal of the first transistor M1 and the second transistor M2. Since the first transistor M1 and the second transistor M2 are P-type transistors, the lower the voltage of the control terminal of the first transistor M1 and the second transistor M2, the greater the conduction degree of the first transistor M1 and the second transistor M2, and the smaller the impedance of the first transistor M1 and the second transistor M2.

[0129] Similarly, the lower the voltage of the output signal of the filtering unit 228, that is, the lower the voltage of the control terminal of the third transistor M3, the smaller the conduction degree of the third transistor M3, that is, the greater the impedance of the third transistor M3. The greater the impedance of the third transistor M3, the higher the voltage of the node connected to the first end of the third transistor M3 and the second end of the first resistor R1, that is, the higher the voltage of the control terminal of the first transistor M1 and the second transistor M2. Since the first transistor M1 and the second transistor M2 are P-type transistors, the higher the voltage of the control terminal of the first transistor M1 and the second transistor M2, the smaller the conduction degree of the first transistor M1 and the second transistor M2, and the greater the impedance of the first transistor M1 and the second transistor M2.

[0130] Therefore, the PWM signal output by the controller 224 can control the impedance of the impedance conversion unit 222 formed by the first transistor M1 and the second transistor M2. The larger the duty cycle of the PWM signal, the smaller the impedance of the impedance conversion unit 222 formed by the first transistor M1 and the second transistor M2, that is, the smaller the impedance between the first battery 212 and the first end a of the charge-discharge chip 230. The smaller the duty cycle of the PWM signal, the larger the impedance of the impedance conversion unit 222 formed by the first transistor M1 and the second transistor M2, that is, the larger the impedance between the first battery 212 and the first end a of the charge-discharge chip 230. In this process, the frequency of the PWM signal remains unchanged.

[0131] It can be understood that when the first battery 212 outputs electric energy to the first terminal a of the charge-discharge chip 230 through the impedance module 220, when the voltage of the first battery 212 remains unchanged, the greater the impedance of the impedance module 220, the smaller the voltage output by the first battery 212 to the first terminal a of the charge-discharge chip 230 through the impedance module 220; the smaller the impedance of the impedance module 220, the greater the voltage output by the first battery 212 to the first terminal a of the charge-discharge chip 230 through the impedance module 220.

[0132] Fig. 22 and Fig.23 2 are two different circuit diagrams of the power supply circuit provided in the embodiments of the present application. Fig. 22 As shown, in some specific embodiments, when the electronic device used by the power supply circuit 21 includes multiple audio power amplifiers, the first electronic device 252 can be an audio power amplifier, and the second electronic device 254 can be another audio power amplifier. In this case, the RF power amplifier and LNA can be placed in the power module 240, and the power module can also include PMIC, SOC, display screen, etc. Fig.23 As shown, in some other specific embodiments, when the electronic device used by the power supply circuit 21 includes only one audio power amplifier, the first electronic device 252 may be an audio power amplifier, and the second electronic device 254 may be a radio frequency power amplifier. In this case, the power module 240 may include a PMIC, a SOC, a display screen, etc. It is understandable that in Fig. 22 and Fig.23 In the illustrated embodiment, the multiple electronic devices in the power module 240 may be connected in series or in parallel. Taking the PMIC and SOC in the power module 240 as an example, the parallel connection of the PMIC and SOC means that the PMIC and SOC are respectively connected to the second end b of the charge-discharge chip 230; the series connection of the PMIC and SOC means that the input end of the PMIC is connected to the second end b of the charge-discharge chip 230, and the output end of the PMIC is connected to the SOC.

[0133] The present application also provides an electronic device 10, including a power supply circuit 21 as in any of the above embodiments. In some embodiments, the electronic device 10 may be a foldable screen mobile phone. The appearance of the electronic device 10 may be as follows: Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown. That is, the electronic device 10 may include a first structural member 12 and a second structural member 14. The first structural member 12 and the second structural member 14 are movably connected, for example, the first structural member 12 and the second structural member 14 may be connected by a hinge 16. The impedance module 220, the first battery 212 and the first electronic device 252 are located in the first structural member 12. The second battery 214 and the second electronic device 254 are located in the second structural member 14. The charge and discharge chip 230 is located in any one of the first structural member 12 and the second structural member 14.

[0134] In some embodiments, the charge-discharge chip 230 is located in the first structural member 12 ; the second battery 214 is connected to the first end a of the charge-discharge chip 230 via an FPC.

[0135] The power supply circuit 21 provided in the embodiment of the present application has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0136] The first battery 212 and the second battery 214 jointly supply power to the power module 240 through the charge and discharge chip 230. Compared with one of the first battery 212 and the second battery 214 supplying power to the power module 240 through the charge and discharge chip 230, the working time of the power module 240 can be increased, thereby ensuring the endurance of the electronic device 10 used by the power supply circuit 21. The first electronic device 252 and the second electronic device 254 are electronic devices that generate a large peak current when working. The first electronic device 252 is independent of the power module 240 and is directly connected to the first battery 212, and is not connected to the first battery 212 through the charge and discharge chip 230 and the impedance module 220. The impedance between the first electronic device 252 and the first battery 212 can be reduced, so that the voltage drop formed when the first electronic device 252 generates a peak current when working can be reduced. Similarly, the second electronic device 254 is independent of the power module 240 and is directly connected to the second battery 214, which can also reduce the voltage drop formed when the second electronic device 254 generates a peak current when working. By reducing the voltage drop formed when the electronic device generates a peak current, the low voltage lock mechanism of the electronic device 10 can be avoided from being triggered, thereby improving the working stability of the electronic device 10. At the same time, the first battery 212 and the second battery 214 are both directly connected to the electronic device, which is more conducive to keeping the voltage difference between the two batteries smaller than when only one of the first battery 212 and the second battery 214 is connected to the electronic device, thereby improving the working stability of the electronic device 10.

[0137] When the rated capacity of the first battery 212 and the rated capacity of the second battery 214 are different, the electronic devices connected to the battery with a larger rated capacity consume more power, while the electronic devices connected to the battery with a smaller rated capacity consume less power. The voltage difference between the two batteries can be kept as small as possible, thereby improving the working stability of the electronic device 10.

Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, a person skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments may still be modified, or some of the technical features may be replaced by equivalents. Such modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, and should all be included in the protection scope of the present application.
