Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of power electronics technology, and in particular to a self-modulated high-voltage linear regulator. Background Technology
[0002] High-voltage linear regulators (LDOs) play a crucial role in power management systems, providing relatively low supply voltages to the internal modules of the chip. Typically, high-voltage LDOs not only need to adapt to a wide input voltage range but also possess excellent power supply rejection capabilities to minimize output voltage variations caused by input voltage fluctuations, ensuring the stability and reliability of the system's power supply.
[0003] Existing high-voltage linear regulator topologies such as Figure 1 As shown, VIN is a high-voltage power rail with a wide range above 5V, and VOUT is the output voltage of the LDO. VBG is a temperature-independent bandgap reference voltage, typically 1.2V. The bias circuit operates between VIN and GND, providing bias voltage or current to the error amplifier. The advantage of this topology is the simplicity of the LDO structure; it only requires replacing some of the low-voltage MOSFETs in the low-voltage LDO with high-voltage MOSFETs, reducing design complexity. However, the disadvantage is that because the error amplifier also operates between the high voltage VIN and GND, many high-voltage MOSFETs are needed to implement the error amplifier. The area occupied by a single high-voltage MOSFET is typically tens or even hundreds of times larger than that of a low-voltage MOSFET with the same width-to-length ratio, significantly increasing the area overhead of the high-voltage LDO. Another topology is shown below. Figure 2 As shown, this structure's error amplifier no longer operates directly between VIN and GND. Instead, a pre-regulator module, operating directly at VIN, generates a pre-regulated voltage of approximately 5V or lower, and the error amplifier then operates at this pre-regulated voltage. In this case, the error amplifier can be implemented using a low-voltage MOSFET, reducing circuit area overhead. However, this approach has the disadvantage of requiring an additional pre-regulator circuit, increasing circuit complexity. Furthermore, implementing the pre-regulator module typically requires a Zener diode, increasing the demands on the manufacturing process. Summary of the Invention

[0035] Existing high-voltage linear regulator topologies such as Figure 1 As shown, VIN is a high-voltage power rail with a wide range and a voltage level higher than 5V. OUT This is the output voltage of the LDO. V BG This is a temperature-independent bandgap reference voltage, typically 1.2V. The bias circuit operates at V... IN Between GND and the voltage source (VIN), a bias voltage or current is provided for the error amplifier. The advantage of this topology is the simplicity of the LDO structure; it only requires replacing some of the low-voltage MOSFETs in the low-voltage LDO with high-voltage MOSFETs, reducing design complexity. However, the disadvantage is that because the error amplifier also operates between the high voltage VIN and GND, many high-voltage MOSFETs are needed to implement the error amplifier. The area occupied by a single high-voltage MOSFET is typically tens or even hundreds of times larger than that of a low-voltage MOSFET with the same width-to-length ratio, significantly increasing the area overhead of the high-voltage LDO. A representative solution is a high-voltage linear regulator proposed in patent CN103955251A. The high-voltage LDO structure proposed in this patent belongs to... Figure 1 The structure shown is such that, because the amplifier operates under a high-voltage power supply, numerous high-voltage transistors are required to implement the circuit, increasing the area overhead.
[0036] Another topology, such as Figure 2 As shown, in this structure, the error amplifier no longer operates directly between VIN and GND. Instead, a pre-regulator module, which operates directly under VIN, generates a pre-regulated voltage of approximately 5V or lower, and the error amplifier then operates under this pre-regulated voltage. In this case, the error amplifier can be implemented using a low-voltage MOSFET, reducing circuit area overhead. However, the disadvantage of this scheme is the need for an additional pre-regulator circuit, increasing circuit complexity. Furthermore, implementing the pre-regulator module typically requires a Zener diode, increasing the demands on the manufacturing process. A representative solution is a high-voltage LDO circuit with clamping and current limiting function proposed in patent CN113434002A. This solution belongs to... Figure 2 The mentioned topology uses three Zener diodes connected in series at the input to reduce the high input voltage to a low voltage range. This design employs lower voltage-rated components, achieving circuit simplicity and cost reduction. Although compared to... Figure 1The structure effectively reduces the number of high-voltage tubes and the problem of excessive circuit area, but it cannot achieve further reduction in area.
