[0058] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the embodiments in the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0059] It is obvious to those skilled in the art that various modifications and changes can be made in the present application without departing from the spirit or scope of the present application. Therefore, the present application is intended to cover modifications and changes of the present application that fall within the scope of the corresponding claims (technical solutions for protection) and their equivalents. It should be noted that the implementation methods provided in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other without contradiction.
[0060] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0061] As described in the background technology section, how to provide stability of the output voltage at the load end has become a research hotspot for those skilled in the art.
[0062] The current solution to this problem focuses on optimizing the power loop control method, which reduces the voltage overshoot and undershoot (i.e., output voltage drop) caused by the sudden change of load transient current by improving the power transient response speed. However, most traditional single control architectures have gradually failed to meet the growing demand for transient current, and new architectures need to be continuously improved to continue to improve the transient response capability of the power supply.
[0063] In view of this, an embodiment of the present application provides a power conversion chip, such as Figure 2 As shown, the power conversion chip 100 includes:
[0064] A driving module 101, used for outputting a driving current controlled by a control signal, wherein a driving current output terminal LX of the driving module 101 is used for connecting to an external first energy storage component 200, and the first energy storage component 200 provides an output voltage to a load terminal Vout, and optionally, the first energy storage component 200 is an inductor;
[0065] The power supply control module 102 is connected to the voltage feedback input terminal FB, and outputs a first control signal to the driving module 101 based on the voltage input to the voltage feedback input terminal FB, so as to adjust the output state of the driving current. The voltage feedback input terminal FB is connected to the load terminal Vout to collect the output voltage of the load terminal Vout.
[0066] The transient adjustment module 103 is connected to the power control module 102 and is used to adjust the voltage of the driving current output terminal LX of the driving module 101 based on the voltage input by the voltage feedback input terminal FB and the first control signal.
[0067] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, taking the power conversion chip as a BUCK chip as an example, the first control signal is a pulse width modulation signal, i.e., a PWM signal, i.e., the signal output by the output terminal P3 of the power control module 102 connected to the driving module 101 is a PWM signal, but the present application does not limit this, and it depends on the specific situation. The power conversion chip provided in the embodiment of the present application is described below by taking the first control signal as a PWM signal as an example.
[0068] It should be noted that, as an energy storage element, the inductor has its own inductive characteristics, and the change of the inductor's own current lags behind the change of the load current, that is, the energy provided by the driving module 101 to the load end Vout lags behind the current demand of the load end Vout, which causes the change of the output voltage of the load end Vout, resulting in overshoot or undershoot. The charge amount △Q1 and △Q2 of the lag part are as follows: Figure 3 shown.
[0069] The power conversion chip provided in the embodiment of the present application includes, in addition to the driving module 101 and the power control module 102, a transient adjustment module 103. The transient adjustment module 103 is connected to the power control module 102, and adjusts the voltage of the driving current output terminal LX of the driving module 101 based on the voltage input by the voltage feedback input terminal FB and the first control signal. When the load current changes transiently, the transient adjustment module 103 is used to adjust the voltage of the driving current output terminal LX, so as to alleviate the undershoot or overshoot phenomenon of the output voltage of the load terminal Vout, thereby improving the stability of the output voltage of the load terminal Vout.
[0070] In addition, the power conversion chip provided in the embodiment of the present application sets the transient adjustment module 103 inside the power conversion chip (such as a BUCK chip), so that the transient adjustment module 103 can share the same voltage feedback input terminal FB with the power control module 102, and at the same time, the transient adjustment module 103 and the driving module 101 can share the same first control signal, thereby simplifying the structure of the power conversion chip 100 while utilizing the transient adjustment module 103 to alleviate the undershoot or overshoot phenomenon of the output voltage of the load end Vout and improve the stability of the output voltage of the load end Vout, which is beneficial to reducing the area and cost of the power conversion chip 100.
[0071] In addition, the power conversion chip provided in the embodiment of the present application sets the transient adjustment module 103 inside the power conversion chip (such as a BUCK chip), and enables the transient adjustment module 103 to share the same voltage feedback input terminal FB with the power control module 102, and enables the transient adjustment module 103 and the driving module 101 to share the same first control signal, so that the input signal of the transient adjustment module 103 can better represent the working state of the power conversion chip, so that the regulation effect of the transient adjustment module 103 is better.
[0072] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present application, Figure 4 As shown, the power control module 102 includes an error amplifier unit 1021 and a modulation unit 1022. In this embodiment, the input end of the error amplifier unit 1021 is connected to the voltage feedback input end FB, and is used to amplify the error between the voltage input to the voltage feedback input end FB and the target voltage Vref1 and then output a first voltage signal EA; the modulation unit 1022 is connected to the output end of the error amplifier unit 1021 and the input end of the driving module 101, and is used to output a first control signal according to the first voltage signal EA, and the first control signal is used to control the driving module 101 to adjust the driving current outputted by the driving module 101, so that the driving current outputted by the driving module 101 gradually matches the current demand of the load 400. Specifically, in one embodiment of the present application, the error amplifier unit may be an error amplifier. It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the input end of the error amplifier unit may be directly connected to the voltage feedback input end FB, or may be indirectly connected to the voltage feedback input end FB, and the present application does not limit this, as long as the signal inputted to the input end of the error amplifier unit can represent the voltage of the voltage feedback input end FB.
[0073] Based on the above embodiments, in one embodiment of the present application, the transient adjustment module 103 can be directly electrically connected to the voltage feedback input terminal FB, such as Figure 2 As shown, to obtain the voltage of the load end Vout, it can also be electrically connected to the output end of the error amplification unit 1021, such as Figure 4 As shown, the voltage of the load end Vout is obtained by acquiring the first voltage signal EA outputted from the output end of the error amplifying unit 1021 , and the present application does not limit this, and it depends on the specific situation.
[0074] It should be noted that, in the above embodiment, the power control module 102 first uses the error amplification unit 1021 to amplify the difference between the voltage of the load end Vout and the target voltage Vref1, and then outputs it to the modulation unit 1022 and the transient adjustment module 103. This can improve the adjustment accuracy of the modulation unit 1022 and the transient adjustment module 103, and further improve the stability of the output voltage of the load end Vout.

In this embodiment, the second end of the first resistor R1 and one end of the second resistor R2 are connected to the input end of the error amplification unit 1021 to avoid burning the error amplification unit 1021 and other devices when the output voltage of the load end Vout is too high, but this application does not limit this, and it depends on the specific situation.

In this embodiment, the comparison unit 1031 outputs the first sub-signal to the control unit 1032 when the first voltage signal EA is greater than the overshoot threshold voltage Overshot Vref, so that the control unit 1032 controls the working state of the switching unit 1033, so that the second energy storage component 300 connected to the switching unit 1033 is charged, the output voltage of the load end Vout is reduced, and the stability of the output voltage of the load end Vout is improved; the comparison unit 1031 outputs the first sub-signal to the control unit 1032 when the first voltage signal EA is less than the undershoot threshold voltage Undershot Vref. Vref, a second sub-signal is output to the control unit 1032, so that the control unit 1032 controls the working state of the switching unit 1033 based on the second sub-signal and the first control signal output by the modulation unit 1022, thereby controlling the discharge state of the second energy storage component 300 connected to the switching unit 1033, increasing the output voltage of the load end Vout, and improving the stability of the output voltage of the load end Vout.
[0078] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the transient control conditions include an overshoot threshold voltage OvershotVref and an undershoot threshold voltage Undershot Vref, so that the power conversion chip can not only adjust the phenomenon of a sudden increase in the output voltage of the load end Vout, but also adjust the phenomenon of a sudden drop in the output voltage of the load end Vout, and control the output voltage of the load end Vout within a certain range of change, thereby further improving the stability of the output voltage of the load end Vout.

[0086] For example, when the second sub-control signal Ctrl2 outputted from the second output terminal of the control unit 1032 controls the fourth sub-switch to be turned on, the fifth sub-switch is turned off, and the second end of the second energy storage component 300 is grounded; when the second sub-control signal Ctrl2 outputted from the second output terminal of the control unit 1032 controls the fifth sub-switch to be turned on, the fourth sub-switch is turned off, and the second end of the second energy storage component 300 is electrically connected to the voltage feedback input terminal FB.
[0087] It should be noted that, in the above embodiment, if the current required by the load 400 suddenly decreases, the output voltage of the load terminal Vout increases instantaneously, the first sub-control signal Ctrl1 output by the control unit 1032 controls the first sub-switch to be turned on, the second sub-control signal Ctrl2 controls the fourth sub-switch to be turned on, the first end of the second energy storage component 300 is electrically connected to the voltage feedback input terminal FB (that is, connected to the load terminal Vout), and the second end is grounded, such as Figure 4 As shown, the voltage inputted by the voltage feedback input terminal FB charges the second energy storage component 300 to reduce the output voltage of the load terminal Vout.

Figure 5 As shown, the second energy storage component 300 discharges to increase the voltage of the drive current output terminal Vout, thereby increasing the output voltage of the load terminal Vout.
[0088] If the first sub-control signal output by the control unit 1032 controls the third sub-switch to be turned on, and the second sub-control signal controls the fifth sub-switch to be turned on, the first end of the second energy storage component 300 is suspended, and the second end is electrically connected to the voltage feedback input terminal FB (that is, connected to the load terminal Vout), as Figure 6 As shown, at this time, the second energy storage component 300 is neither charged nor discharged.

Optionally, in one embodiment of the present application, the second end of the sixth sub-switch is grounded through the third resistor R3, so that when there is unused electricity in the second energy storage component 300, the sixth sub-control switch is turned on, so that the electricity in the second energy storage component 300 is leaked through the third resistor R3, but the present application does not limit this, and it depends on the specific situation.

The functions of the first sub-switch, the second sub-switch, the third sub-switch and the sixth sub-switch may also be realized through a single-pole multi-throw switch.
[0091] Specifically, in one embodiment of the present application, when the first control switch component 10331 is a single-pole multi-throw switch, the control end of the single-pole multi-throw switch is electrically connected to the first output end of the control unit 1032, the first end is connected to the first end of the second energy storage component 300, the first second end of the plurality of second ends is connected to the voltage feedback input end FB, the second second end is connected to the drive current output end LX, the third second end is suspended, and the fourth second end is grounded. Figure 7 As shown, when the first control switch component 10331 includes a first sub-switch, a second sub-switch, a third sub-switch and a sixth sub-switch, the path between the first end of the single-pole multi-throw switch and port 1 corresponds to the first sub-switch, the path between the first end of the single-pole multi-throw switch and port 2 corresponds to the second sub-switch, the path between the first end of the single-pole multi-throw switch and port 3 corresponds to the third sub-switch, and the path between the first end of the single-pole multi-throw switch and port 4 corresponds to the sixth sub-switch.
[0092] Similarly, the second control switch component 10332 may include multiple control switches, and the functions of the fourth sub-switch and the fifth sub-switch may be respectively realized through different control switches, or the functions of the fourth sub-switch and the fifth sub-switch may be realized through a single-pole double-throw switch.
[0093] Specifically, in one embodiment of the present application, when the second control switch component 10332 is a single-pole double-throw switch, the control end of the single-pole double-throw switch is electrically connected to the second output end of the control unit 1032, the first end is connected to the second end of the second energy storage component 300, the first second end of the plurality of second ends is connected to the voltage feedback input end FB, and the second second end is grounded. Figure 7 As shown, when the second control switch component 10332 includes a fourth sub-switch and a fifth sub-switch, the path between the first end of the single-pole double-throw switch and port 1 corresponds to the fourth sub-switch, and the path between the first end of the single-pole double-throw switch and port 2 corresponds to the fifth sub-switch.
[0094] The power conversion chip provided in the embodiment of the present application is described below by taking the first control switch component 10331 as a single-pole multi-throw switch and the second control switch component 10332 as a single-pole multi-throw switch as an example.
[0095] Based on any of the above embodiments, in one embodiment of the present application, continue as follows Figure 7 As shown, the comparison unit 1031 includes:
[0096] A first comparator, wherein one input terminal of the first comparator is connected to the output terminal of the error amplifying unit 1021 in the power control module 102, and the other input terminal is used to input the overshoot threshold voltage Overshot Vref, and outputs a first sub-signal based on the first voltage signal EA output by the error amplifying unit 1021 and the overshoot threshold voltage Overshot Vref;

[0098] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present application, the first comparator is a transient comparator, and the second comparator is a transient comparator, but the present application does not limit this and it depends on the specific circumstances.
[0099] In this embodiment, the control unit 1032 is connected to the output ends of the first comparator and the second comparator, and is used to output a second control signal based on the first sub-signal, the second sub-signal and the first control signal to control the working state of the switching unit 1033 to achieve the regulation of the voltage of the driving current output terminal LX of the driving module 101.
[0100] Specifically, in one embodiment of the present application, the first voltage signal EA input to one input terminal of the first comparator is greater than the overshoot threshold voltage Overshot Vref set at the other input terminal thereof, indicating that the output voltage of the load terminal Vout has an overshoot phenomenon, and the overshoot amplitude is large. The control unit 1032 controls the second energy storage component 300 to charge based on the signals output by the first comparator and the second comparator, absorbs the energy of the load terminal Vout, and reduces the output voltage of the load terminal Vout;
[0101] The first voltage signal EA input to one input terminal of the second comparator is greater than the undershoot threshold voltage Undershot Vref set at the other output terminal thereof, indicating that the voltage of the load terminal Vout has a drop phenomenon (i.e., an undershoot phenomenon), and the drop amplitude is large. The control unit 1032 controls the second energy storage component 300 to discharge based on the signals output by the first comparator and the second comparator, provides energy to the load terminal Vout, and increases the output voltage of the load terminal Vout.
[0102] Optionally, based on any of the above embodiments, in an embodiment of the present application, the control unit 1032 includes: a state machine 10321 and a logic subunit 10322, wherein the logic subunit 10322 performs calculations based on the second sub-signal and the first control signal, and outputs a third sub-signal; the state machine 10321 outputs a second control signal based on the first sub-signal and the third sub-signal to control the working state of the switching unit 1033, so as to output a second control signal based on the first signal and the first control signal to control the working state of the switching unit 1033.
[0103] On the basis of any of the above embodiments, in one embodiment of the present application, the driving module 101 includes: a driving unit 1011, which is used to receive the first control signal and output a third control signal; a first MOS tube M1 and a second MOS tube M2 connected in series between a first power supply terminal VIN and a second power supply terminal GND, wherein the voltage of the first power supply terminal VIN is greater than the voltage of the second power supply terminal GND. Specifically, in this embodiment, the control end of the first MOS tube M1 is connected to the output end of the driving unit 1011, receives the third control signal, and the first end is connected to the first power supply terminal VIN; the control end of the second MOS tube M2 is connected to the output end of the driving unit 1011, receives the third control signal, and the second end is connected to the second power supply terminal GND; the second end of the first MOS tube M1 is connected to the first end of the second MOS tube M2, as the driving current output terminal LX of the driving module 101; the first control signal is used to control the on and off states of the first MOS tube M1 and the second MOS tube M2.
[0104] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present application, the first control signal is a PWM signal, the first MOS tube is a P-type MOS tube, and the second MOS tube is an N-type MOS tube; in this embodiment, when the first control signal is at a high level, the first MOS tube is turned off, the second MOS tube is turned on, and the path between the current output end and the second power supply end is turned on; when the first control signal is at a low level, the first MOS tube is turned on, the second MOS tube is turned off, and the path between the current output end and the first power supply end is turned on, so as to adjust the driving current outputted by the driving current output end LX by alternatingly turning on the first MOS tube and the second MOS tube.
[0105] The power conversion chip provided in the embodiments of the present application is described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0106] like Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, optionally, in this embodiment, if the load terminal Vout operates normally without transient load changes, or if there is a transient load change but the difference between the voltage of the load terminal Vout and the target voltage Vref1 is less than the overshoot threshold voltage Overshot Vref1 and less than the undershoot threshold voltage Undershot Vref1, the first comparator and the second comparator are not triggered, the first comparator outputs a low level 0, and the second comparator outputs a low level 0. Regardless of whether the signal output by the driving current output terminal LX is a high level or a low level, the first sub-control signal Ctrl1 output by the first output terminal of the state machine 10321 controls the second end of the first control switch component to be electrically connected to port 3, and the second sub-control signal Ctrl2 output by the second output terminal of the state machine 10321 controls the second end of the second control switch component to be electrically connected to port 2, so that the first end of the second energy storage component 300 is suspended, as shown in FIG. Fig. 9 As shown, the second energy storage component 300 does not store charge;
[0107] When the transient current of the load terminal Vout decreases, the output voltage of the load terminal Vout increases, until the first voltage signal is greater than the overshoot threshold voltage, the first comparator is triggered, the first comparator outputs a high level 1, and the second comparator outputs a low level 0. At this time, regardless of whether the signal output by the driving current output terminal LX is a high level or a low level, the first sub-control signal Ctrl1 output by the first output terminal of the state machine 10321 controls the second end of the first control switch component to be electrically connected to port 1, and the second sub-control signal Ctrl2 output by the second output terminal of the state machine 10321 controls the second end of the second control switch component to be electrically connected to port 1, so that the first end of the second energy storage component 300 is electrically connected to the load terminal Vout (or the voltage feedback input terminal FB), and the second end is grounded, such as Fig.10 As shown, the second energy storage component 300 is used to absorb the charge of the load end Vout, increase the instantaneous charge storage capacity, and reduce the output voltage of the load end Vout, thereby effectively alleviating the voltage overshoot phenomenon (ie, voltage overshoot phenomenon);
[0108] When the transient current reduction event of the load terminal Vout ends, the output voltage of the load terminal Vout is restored to the default value through the internal loop control adjustment of the power conversion chip, and the first comparator and the second comparator are restored to the default value. At this time, the first comparator outputs a low level 0, and the second comparator outputs a low level 0. Regardless of whether the signal output by the driving current output terminal LX is a high level or a low level, the first sub-control signal Ctrl1 output by the first output terminal of the state machine 10321 controls the second end of the first control switch component to be electrically connected to port 3, and the second sub-control signal Ctrl2 output by the second output terminal of the state machine 10321 controls the second end of the second control switch component to be electrically connected to port 2, so that the first end of the second energy storage component 300 is suspended, and the second end remains unchanged and is still electrically connected to the load terminal Vou, as shown in FIG. Fig. 9 As shown, the charging path of the second energy storage assembly 300 is cut off;
[0109] When the transient current of the load terminal Vout decreases, the output voltage of the load terminal Vout decreases until the first voltage signal is greater than the undershoot threshold voltage, and the second comparator is triggered. At this time, the first comparator outputs a low level 0, the second comparator outputs a high level 1, and the driving current output terminal LX outputs a low level 0 (at this time, the first control signal PMW is a low level, indicating that the first MOS tube is in the off state), the first sub-control signal Ctrl1 output by the first output terminal of the state machine 10321 controls the second end of the first control switch component to be electrically connected to port 2, and the second sub-control signal Ctrl2 output by the second output terminal controls the second end of the second control switch component to be electrically connected to port 2, so that the first end of the second energy storage component is electrically connected to the driving current output terminal LX, and the second end is electrically connected to the load terminal Vout, as shown in FIG. Fig.11 As shown, the second energy storage component 300 releases charge to the driving current output terminal LX, and the charge stored in the second energy storage component 300 is supplemented to the load terminal Vout through the first energy storage component 200, reducing the voltage drop amplitude of the load terminal Vout, thereby increasing the output voltage of the load terminal Vout.
[0110] It should be noted that, in order to avoid the conduction of the path between the second energy storage component 300 and the first power supply terminal VIN, the time when the second energy storage component 300 is in the third state needs to be staggered with the conduction time of the first MOS tube M1 in the driving module 101. Therefore, in this embodiment, the control unit 1032 also includes a logic subunit 10322 located between the second comparator and the state machine 10321. Optionally, the logic subunit 10322 is an AND gate, so that the first control signal output by the power control module 102 and the second sub-signal output by the second comparator are connected to the state machine 10321 through the AND gate. When the constant conduction time of the first MOS tube M1 is reached, the second energy storage component 300 is switched to the third state, so that the second energy storage component 300 continues to supplement the charge to the load terminal Vout, meets the current demand when the transient current increases, and reduces the voltage drop. However, the present application does not limit this. In other embodiments of the present application, the control unit may further add control logic in the state machine 10321 so that the time when the second energy storage component 300 is in the third state is staggered with the turn-on time of the first MOS tube M1 in the driving module 101, or add a third control switch component in the second energy storage component 300 so that the time when the second energy storage component 300 is in the third state is staggered with the turn-on time of the first MOS tube M1 in the driving module 101, depending on the specific circumstances.
[0111] like Fig.12 As shown, Fig.12 The voltage variation curve of the load end during the operation of the power conversion chip is shown, wherein the red line represents the voltage variation curve of the load end during the operation of the power conversion chip provided by the embodiment of the present application, and the green line represents the voltage variation curve of the load end of the traditional power conversion chip. Fig.12 It can be seen from the figure that in the power conversion chip provided in the embodiment of the present application, the voltage variation at the load end is small, and the voltage overshoot phenomenon can be optimized. Fig.12 Compared with the voltage change at the load end in a traditional electronic device, the voltage overshoot amplitude at the load end of the power conversion chip provided in the embodiment of the present application can be reduced by 15.6mV.

[0116] On the basis of the above embodiments, in one embodiment of the present application, the second energy storage component 300 further includes a fourth resistor Res connected in series with the capacitor, so as to utilize the fourth resistor Res to control the charge and discharge rate of the second energy storage component 300, thereby preventing the capacitor Ces from being burned due to the charge and discharge rate of the second energy storage component 300 being too high, and at the same time reducing the electromagnetic interference generated during the charge and discharge process of the second energy storage component 300, thereby improving the performance of the electronic device.
[0117] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present application, continue as Figure 7 As shown, the charge and discharge control loop includes a switching unit 1033, and the switching unit 1033 includes a first control switch component 10331 and a second control switch component 10332.

It should be noted that in this embodiment, the first control signal represents the output state of the driving current.
[0123] On the basis of the above embodiments, in one embodiment of the present application, the power conversion chip includes a first MOS tube and a second MOS tube connected in series between a first power supply terminal and a second power supply terminal, the voltage of the first power supply terminal is greater than the voltage of the second power supply terminal, and the second end of the first MOS tube is connected to the first end of the second MOS tube as the driving current output end of the driving module. In this embodiment, the method further includes:

[0125] If the voltage at the load end is lower than the voltage at the drive current output end, the difference between the voltage at the load end and the target voltage is greater than the undershoot threshold voltage, and the first MOS tube is in a disconnected state, the second energy storage component is controlled to discharge to increase the voltage at the drive current output end.
[0126] It should be noted that, in the above embodiment, if the voltage at the load end is higher than the voltage at the drive current output end, and the difference between the voltage at the load end and the target voltage is greater than the overshoot threshold voltage, regardless of whether the first MOS tube is in the on state or the off state, the second energy storage component is controlled to charge to reduce the voltage at the load end.
[0127] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present application, the method further includes: if the voltage at the load end is lower than the voltage at the drive current output end, the difference between the voltage at the load end and the target voltage is greater than the undershoot threshold voltage, but the first MOS tube is in an on state, one end of the second energy storage component is controlled to be suspended, and the second energy storage component is neither charged nor discharged.
[0128] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present application, the method further includes: if the load end operates stably, that is, the difference between the voltage at the load end and the target voltage is not greater than the overshoot threshold voltage, nor is it greater than the undershoot threshold voltage, controlling one end of the second energy storage component to be suspended, and the second energy storage component is neither charged nor discharged.
[0129] The transient control method provided in the embodiment of the present application is described below in conjunction with a specific embodiment.
[0130] like Figure 7 and Fig.13 As shown, the transient control method includes:
[0131] Monitor the output voltage of the load end Vout;
[0132] If the current required by the load terminal Vout decays, the output voltage of the load terminal Vout overshoots. When the voltage of the load terminal Vout is higher than the voltage of the drive current output terminal LX and the difference between the voltage of the load terminal Vout and the target voltage Vref1 is greater than the overshoot threshold voltage Overshot Vref, the power conversion chip 100 controls the second energy storage component 300 to charge to reduce the voltage of the load terminal Vout. Specifically, the power conversion chip 100 controls the second end of the first control switch component 10331 in its switching unit 1033 to be electrically connected to port 1, and the second end of the second control switch component 10332 is electrically connected to port 1. The electrical connection relationship of the second energy storage component 300 is as follows: Fig.10 As shown,
[0133] When the transient current reduction event of the load end Vout ends, the output voltage of the load end Vout returns to the default value, and the power conversion chip 100 cuts off the charging path of the second energy storage component 300.

Specifically, the control unit 1032 of the power conversion chip 100 controls the second end of the first control switch component 10331 in its switching unit 1033 to be electrically connected to port 2, and the second end of the second control switch component 10332 is electrically connected to port 2. The electrical connection relationship of the second energy storage component 300 is as follows: Fig.11 As shown, the second energy storage component 300 releases the charge to the driving current output terminal LX, which is transmitted to the load terminal Vout through the first energy storage component 200, thereby increasing the voltage of the load terminal Vout and reducing the voltage drop amplitude of the load terminal Vout.
[0135] It should be noted that, in the above embodiment, if the second energy storage component 300 is discharged so that the load terminal Vout is restored to the default value, there is still some unreleased charge in the second energy storage component, and the power conversion chip 100 controls the first end of the second energy storage component 300 to be grounded, and the second end is connected to the load terminal Vout, and the residual charge in the second energy storage component 300 is released by grounding the first end of the second energy storage component 300.
