In the discharge module 1185, the PMOS transistors M15 and M16 constitute a current mirror, which has the same size to reduce the gain, increase the bandwidth, and improve the response speed of the circuit. When the NMOS transistor M14 is turned on, the M14, M15 and R4 branch generate a current, which is copied to the M16 and R5 branch through the current mirror. Since there is a current flowing through the resistor R5, the voltage at point b rises, that is, the voltage at the gate of M1 rises, M1 is turned on, and the VCC voltage is directly discharged to GND.

[0102] In the overvoltage protection circuit 118, when VCC is a normal voltage, the voltage of the sampling module 1181a at this time is low, the output voltage Vd of the reference module 1182 is fixed, and the expression of the comparison voltage Ve shows that the voltage at point e is low at this time, that is, the gate voltage of the NMOS transistor M14 of the discharge module 1185 is low, the voltage at point b Vb is low, and M14 is in the off state. At this time, the OUT terminal outputs a low level.

[0103] When VCC rises, the voltage at point a also rises, the output voltage Vd of the reference module 1182 does not change, and the expression of the comparison voltage Ve shows that the output voltage Ve at point e of the comparison module 1183 also rises. When VCC rises above the threshold VCC1, the voltage Ve at point e rises above the threshold voltage Vth of the NMOS transistor M14 of the discharge module 1185, the discharge module 1185 starts to work, the voltage Vb at point b becomes high, the NMOS transistor M1 is turned on, the VCC voltage is directly discharged to GND, and the overvoltage locking state is entered to prevent damage to other circuits. At this time, the OUT terminal outputs a high level.

[0104] When VCC falls, the voltage at point a also falls, the output voltage Vd of the reference module 1182 does not change, and the expression of the comparison voltage Ve shows that the output voltage Ve at point e of the comparison module 1183 also falls. When VCC falls below the threshold VCC1, the voltage Ve at point e falls below the threshold voltage Vth of the NMOS transistor M14 of the discharge module 1185.

[0105] The discharge module 1185 stops working, the voltage Vb at point b becomes low, the NMOS transistor M1 is turned off, and the overvoltage locking state is released. At this time, the OUT terminal outputs a low level.

[0106] According to the output of the overvoltage protection circuit 118, when the VCC voltage is in the normal working range, the voltage at the output end of the overvoltage protection circuit 118 is low, which has no effect on the fault logic control circuit and does not perform overvoltage protection.

[0107] When the VCC voltage is out of the normal working range, the voltage at the output end of the overvoltage protection circuit 118 is high, thereby controlling the fault logic control circuit to work, and the fault logic control circuit controls the simultaneous turn-off of the outputs of the chips HO and LO through the pulse circuit 107 and the AND gate 117.

[0108] The application has the advantages that the high-voltage integrated drive chip with integrated overvoltage protection circuit is provided, the circuit structure of the chip can directly detect and protect the power supply voltage of the drive chip in the traditional power module, the high-voltage drive chip is prevented from being burnt due to the excessively high power supply voltage, the service life of the high-voltage drive chip is prolonged, the overvoltage protection circuit integrated in the chip does not need a voltage stabilizing tube, the power consumption can be reduced, the anti-noise capability is improved, and the product stability and adaptability are improved.
