Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of the present disclosure relate to the technical field of integrated circuits and related technical fields, and in particular, to a single-chip microcomputer power supply circuit and an electronic chip suitable for an off-chip adjustable power good threshold. Background Art

[0002] LDO (low dropout regulator) has the advantages of low noise and small static current, and is widely used in the front-end power supply of MCU (Microcontroller Unit, micro control unit, called single chip microcomputer or single chip microcomputer). There are 3.3V and 5V MCUs on the market, and the corresponding LDO chip can be selected according to the power supply voltage requirements of MCU. At present, the Power good pin of LDO is used to detect whether the front-end power supply voltage fails, such as Figure 1 As shown, the output VOUT of LDO provides the power supply voltage to MCU. If the MCU works under the power supply voltage of 5V, the output VOUT of LDO should also be equal to 5V. The PG (Powergood) pin of LDO is connected to the power supply voltage of 5V by the pull-up resistor R PG Connected to VOUT, if the front-stage LDO causes VOUT to be lower than a certain value due to some fault, for example, VOUT is lower than 88% of the normal value, the PG pin outputs a low-level signal to the MCU. When the MCU receives the low-level signal, the MCU enters a protection working state to avoid MCU device failure and system data loss due to problems with the front-stage power supply, thereby ensuring the stability and safety of the MCU. If VOUT is higher than 90% of the normal value, the PG pin outputs a high-level signal to the MCU, and the MCU works normally.

[0003] LDO provides a stable output to the MCU through the OUT pin. Figure 2 An exemplary schematic diagram of a partial structure of an LDO is provided, such as Figure 2 As shown, the sampling voltage VFB of the sampling node = VOUT*RL / (RH+RL), and the LDO compares the sampling voltage VFB of the sampling node with the fixed reference voltage VREF_PG through a comparator to determine whether the output voltage VOUT of the LDO output node is higher than 90% of the normal value. If the output voltage VOUT of the output node is higher than 90% of the normal value, the PG node (power good node) of the LDO outputs a high level to the MCU, and the MCU works normally. If the output voltage VOUT of the output node is lower than 88% of the normal value, the PG node of the LDO outputs a low level to the MCU, and the MCU enters a protection working state.

[0004] However, the under-voltage lockout voltages of different MCUs on the market are different. For example, some MCUs require the system to start when the VOUT of the front-stage LDO is higher than 90% or 70% of the rated operating voltage. When the under-voltage lockout voltages of different MCUs are different, it is necessary to adjust the reference voltage output from the reference voltage generation module to the comparison module. Therefore, different MCUs require different front-stage LDO chips, which does not have high flexibility. Summary of the invention

[0037] Based on the problems existing in the prior art, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a single-chip microcomputer power supply circuit with an off-chip adjustable power good threshold. Figure 3 is a structural schematic diagram of a single-chip microcomputer power supply circuit with an off-chip adjustable power good threshold provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, such as Figure 3 As shown, a single-chip microcomputer power supply circuit with an off-chip adjustable power supply good threshold comprises: an enable signal generating module 10, a switch module 20, an off-chip resistance adjusting module 30, a first resistance module 40 and a first comparison module 50; the enable signal generating module 10 is configured to collect a startup threshold voltage of a single-chip microcomputer electrically connected to a low voltage difference linear voltage stabilization circuit, and when the startup threshold voltage is different from a preset startup threshold voltage, generate a first enable signal to the switch module 20 and the off-chip resistance adjusting module 30, and when the startup threshold voltage is the same as the preset startup threshold voltage, generate a second enable signal to the switch module; the switch module 20 is configured to turn off the switch module when receiving the first enable signal, and turn off the switch module when receiving the second enable signal. When an enable signal is received, the switch module is turned on; the off-chip resistance adjustment module 30 is configured to determine the adjustment signal of the first resistance module 40 according to the rated operating voltage, the start-up threshold voltage, the preset start-up threshold voltage and the initial voltage division of the first resistance module 40 when receiving the first enable signal, and adjust the first resistance module 40 according to the adjustment signal; the first resistance module 40 is configured to collect the output voltage of the output node of the low voltage difference linear voltage regulator circuit, and generate an off-chip resistance sampling voltage according to the output voltage; the first comparison module 50 is configured to determine the target level signal output from the power good node to the single-chip microcomputer according to the off-chip resistance sampling voltage and the first reference voltage when in the enabled state.

[0038] Specifically, the low voltage difference linear voltage regulator circuit provides a power supply voltage for the single-chip microcomputer, and the startup threshold voltage of the single-chip microcomputer electrically connected to the low voltage difference linear voltage regulator circuit is not fixed. For example, some single-chip microcomputers start up when the output voltage of the output node of the low voltage difference linear voltage regulator circuit is higher than 90% of the rated working voltage, and some single-chip microcomputers start up when the output voltage of the output node of the low voltage difference linear voltage regulator circuit is higher than 70% of the rated working voltage. Corresponding to different startup threshold voltages, when the first reference voltage received by the first comparison module 50 is a fixed value, it is necessary to adjust the voltage division of the first resistance module 40, so that the off-chip resistance sampling voltage generated by the first resistance module 40 according to the collected output voltage of the output node matches the startup threshold voltage and the first reference voltage.

[0039] Based on the problems existing in the prior art, in the single-chip microcomputer power supply circuit with an off-chip adjustable power good threshold provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure, an enable signal generation module 10 is set, and the enable signal generation module 10 collects the startup threshold voltage of the single-chip microcomputer electrically connected to the low voltage difference linear voltage regulation circuit, and when the startup threshold voltage is different from the preset startup threshold voltage, generates a first enable signal to the switch module 20 and the off-chip resistance adjustment module 30, controls the switch module 20 to be turned off by the first enable signal, and adjusts the voltage division of the first resistance module 40 by the off-chip resistance adjustment module 30, so that the off-chip resistance sampling voltage generated by the first resistance module 40 according to the collected output voltage of the output node matches the startup threshold voltage and the first reference voltage, and finally, the first comparison module 50 determines the target level signal output from the power good node to the single-chip microcomputer by comparing the relationship between the off-chip resistance sampling voltage generated by the first resistance module 40 and the first reference voltage.

[0040] In a specific example, the rated working voltage of the single chip microcomputer electrically connected to the low voltage difference linear voltage regulator circuit is 5V, and the single chip microcomputer starts to work when the output voltage of the output node of the low voltage difference linear voltage regulator circuit is higher than 90% of the rated working voltage of the single chip microcomputer (the preset startup threshold voltage is 90% of the rated working voltage of the single chip microcomputer). If the initial voltage division of the first resistor module 40 is 0.4:0.6, the first reference voltage of the first comparison module 50 satisfies: Vref1=5*0.6*0.9=2.7V, that is, when the output node is in the state of the voltage division of the first resistor module 40 being 0.4:0.6, When the output voltage of the output node is greater than the first reference voltage through the off-chip resistor sampling voltage generated by the first resistor module 40, the first comparison module 50 outputs a high level. At this time, the target level signal output from the power-good node to the single-chip microcomputer is a high level, and the single-chip microcomputer works normally. When the voltage division of the first resistor module 40 is 0.4:0.6, when the output voltage of the output node is less than the first reference voltage through the off-chip resistor sampling voltage generated by the first resistor module 40, the first comparison module 50 outputs a low level. At this time, the target level signal output from the power-good node to the single-chip microcomputer is a low level, and the single-chip microcomputer enters a protection working state.

[0041] When the startup threshold voltage corresponding to the single-chip microcomputer changes, in an exemplary manner, the single-chip microcomputer starts to start working when the output voltage of the output node of the low-voltage difference linear voltage regulator circuit is higher than 70% of the rated operating voltage of the single-chip microcomputer (the startup threshold voltage is 70% of the rated operating voltage of the single-chip microcomputer). At this time, the off-chip resistance adjustment module 30 determines the adjustment signal of the first resistance module 40 through the rated operating voltage of the single-chip microcomputer, the startup threshold voltage, the preset startup threshold voltage and the initial voltage division of the first resistance module 40, and adjusts the resistance value of the first resistance module 40 according to the adjustment signal. Specifically, according to the rated operating voltage of the single-chip microcomputer, the preset startup threshold voltage and the initial voltage division of the first resistance module 40, in the scenario where the first reference voltage is 2.7V, the first resistor module 40 is The off-chip resistance sampling voltage generated by the resistance module after dividing the output voltage of the output node should satisfy: 2.7 / 0.7=3.85V, that is, when the off-chip resistance sampling voltage generated by the first resistance module according to the collected output voltage of the output node of the low-voltage difference linear voltage regulator circuit is greater than 3.85V, the first comparison module 50 outputs a high level. At this time, the target level signal output from the good power node to the single-chip microcomputer is a high level, and the single-chip microcomputer works normally. When the off-chip resistance sampling voltage generated by the first resistance module according to the collected output voltage of the output node of the low-voltage difference linear voltage regulator circuit is less than 3.85V, the first comparison module 50 outputs a low level. At this time, the target level signal output from the good power node to the single-chip microcomputer is a low level, and the single-chip microcomputer enters a protection working state. In combination with the off-chip resistor sampling voltage and the rated operating voltage of the single-chip microcomputer, it can be determined that the target voltage division of the first resistor module is 0.23:0.77. According to the target voltage division of the first resistor module, the adjustment signal of the off-chip resistor adjustment module to the first resistor module can be determined (that is, the first resistor module is adjusted from the initial voltage division to the target voltage division based on the adjustment signal). After determining the adjustment signal of the first resistor module, the resistance value of the first resistor module is adjusted so that the voltage division of the first resistor module satisfies 0.23:0.77, so that when the startup threshold voltage of the single-chip microcomputer is changed from 90% of the rated operating voltage of the single-chip microcomputer to 70% of the rated operating voltage of the single-chip microcomputer, the first comparison module can determine the target level signal output from the good power node to the single-chip microcomputer based on the received off-chip resistor sampling voltage and the first reference voltage, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the target level signal output through the good power node.

[0042] The embodiment of the present disclosure provides a single-chip microcomputer power supply circuit with an off-chip adjustable power good threshold. First, when the startup threshold voltage of the single-chip microcomputer collected is different from the preset startup threshold voltage, the enable signal generation module generates a first enable signal to the switch module and the off-chip resistance adjustment module. The switch module is turned off after receiving the first enable signal. After receiving the first enable signal, the off-chip resistance adjustment module determines the adjustment signal of the first resistance module according to the rated working voltage of the single-chip microcomputer, the startup threshold voltage, the preset startup threshold voltage and the initial voltage division of the first resistance module, and adjusts the first resistance adjustment module so that the off-chip resistance sampling voltage generated by the adjusted first resistance adjustment module according to the collected output voltage of the output node matches the startup threshold voltage and the first reference voltage, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the target level signal output from the power good node to the single-chip microcomputer determined by the first comparison module according to the off-chip resistance sampling voltage and the first reference voltage.

[0043] In a specific implementation, the enable signal generation module, the off-chip resistance adjustment module and the first comparison module are integrated on a chip of the low voltage difference linear voltage regulator circuit, and the switch module and the first resistance module are located outside the chip.

[0044] By arranging the switch module and the first resistor module outside the chip corresponding to the low voltage difference linear voltage regulator circuit, when the startup threshold voltage of the single chip microcomputer electrically connected to the low voltage difference linear voltage regulator circuit changes, the switch module is controlled to be turned off, and the voltage division of the first resistor module is adjusted, so that the off-chip resistor sampling voltage generated by the voltage division of the first resistor module matches the startup threshold voltage and the first reference voltage.

[0045] It should be noted that the enable signal generating module and the off-chip resistance adjusting module can be the modules originally included in the low voltage difference linear voltage regulator circuit. By burning the program code input into the low voltage difference linear voltage regulator circuit, the enable signal generating module can be added to generate the enable signal to the switch module and the off-chip resistance adjusting module, and the off-chip resistance adjusting module can be added to output the adjustment signal to the first resistance module. Therefore, there is no need to change the circuit structure of the original low voltage difference linear voltage regulator circuit.

[0046] In a specific embodiment, in combination with Figure 4 The first resistor module 40 includes a first resistor R1 and a second resistor R2. The first end of the first resistor R1 is electrically connected to the output node OUT of the low voltage difference linear voltage regulator circuit. The second end of the first resistor R1 and the first end of the second resistor R2 are both electrically connected to the off-chip resistor sampling voltage node PGADJ. The second end of the second resistor R2 is electrically connected to the ground node.

[0047] The switch module 20 includes a switch Switch, a first end of the switch Switch is electrically connected to the off-chip resistor sampling voltage node PGADJ, a second end of the switch Switch is electrically connected to the ground node, and a control end of the switch Switch receives an enable signal generated by the enable signal generation module 10 .

[0048] like Figure 4 As shown, when the startup threshold voltage of the single-chip microcomputer electrically connected to the low-voltage difference linear voltage regulator circuit is different from the preset startup threshold voltage, the enable signal generating module 10 generates a first enable signal to the switch Switch, and the switch Switch is turned off under the action of the first enable signal. At this time, the off-chip resistance adjusting module 30, upon receiving the first enable signal, determines the adjustment signal of the first resistance module 40 according to the rated working voltage of the single-chip microcomputer, the startup threshold voltage, the preset startup threshold voltage and the initial voltage division of the first resistance module 40, and adjusts the first resistance module 40 according to the adjustment signal; after the off-chip resistance adjusting module 40 adjusts the resistance values ​​of the first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2 Through the voltage division of the first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2, the first resistor module 40 generates an off-chip resistor sampling voltage to the first comparison module 50. After the first comparison module 50 compares the off-chip resistor sampling voltage VPGADJ with the first reference voltage Vref1, it determines the target level signal output by the power-good node to the single-chip microcomputer. Specifically, when the off-chip resistor sampling voltage VPGADJ is greater than the first reference voltage Vref1, the power-good node PG outputs a high level to the single-chip microcomputer, and the single-chip microcomputer works normally. When the off-chip resistor sampling voltage VPGADJ is less than the first reference voltage Vref1, the power-good node PG outputs a low level to the single-chip microcomputer, and the single-chip microcomputer enters a protection working state.

[0049] In an exemplary embodiment, the rated operating voltage of the single-chip microcomputer is 5V, the preset startup threshold voltage is 90% of the rated operating voltage of the single-chip microcomputer, the initial voltage division of the first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2 of the first resistor module 40 is 0.4:0.6, the first reference voltage Vref1 is 2.7V, the first resistor module 40 collects the output voltage of the output node of the low voltage difference linear voltage regulator circuit, and divides the collected output voltage by the first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2 to obtain the off-chip resistor sampling voltage VPGADJ, that is, the off-chip resistor sampling voltage of the off-chip resistor sampling node satisfies: The first comparison module 50 determines the target level signal output from the power good node to the single chip microcomputer by comparing the first reference voltage Vref1 and the off-chip resistor sampling voltage VPGADJ. When the startup threshold voltage of the single chip microcomputer changes from 90% of the rated working voltage of the single chip microcomputer to 70% of the rated working voltage of the single chip microcomputer, when the first reference voltage remains unchanged and the output voltage of the output node is 5V, it is necessary to ensure that the voltage division of the first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2 meets: 0.23:0.77, and the off-chip resistor sampling voltage of the off-chip resistor sampling node meets: At this time, the first reference voltage (2.7V) matches the relationship between the off-chip resistor sampling voltage and the start-up threshold voltage. Therefore, the target voltage division of the first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2 is 0.23:0.77. As the output voltage of the output node gradually increases, the first resistor module 40 collects the output voltage of the output node of the low voltage difference linear voltage regulator circuit, and divides the collected output voltage by the first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2 to obtain the off-chip resistor sampling voltage, that is, the off-chip resistor sampling voltage of the off-chip resistor sampling node changes with the change of the output node voltage, specifically satisfying: The first comparison module determines a target level signal output from the power good node to the single chip microcomputer by comparing the first reference voltage with the off-chip resistor sampling voltage.

[0050] Based on the above embodiments, Figure 5 As shown, the single-chip microcomputer power supply circuit with an off-chip adjustable power-good threshold provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure also includes a second comparison module 60 and a third comparison module 70. The second comparison module 60 is configured to output a level signal to the first comparison module 50 and the third comparison module 70 according to the off-chip resistor sampling voltage VPGADJ and the second reference voltage Vref2; the first comparison module 50 is also configured to enable the first comparison module 50 when the level signal output by the second comparison module 60 is a first level signal; the third comparison module 70 is also configured to enable the third comparison module 70 when the level signal output by the second comparison module 60 is a second level signal, and in the enabled state, determine the target level signal output from the power-good node to the single-chip microcomputer according to the on-chip resistor sampling voltage VFB and the third reference voltage Vref3.

[0051] And a second resistance module 80; the second resistance module 80 is configured to collect the output voltage of the output node of the low voltage difference linear voltage regulator circuit, and generate an on-chip resistance sampling voltage VFB according to the output voltage.

[0052] Among them, the first comparison module 50 includes a first comparator Comp1, the second comparison module 60 includes a second comparator Comp2, and the third comparison module 70 includes a third comparator Comp2. The positive input terminal of the first comparator Comp1 receives the off-chip resistor sampling voltage VPGADJ, the reverse input terminal of the first comparator Comp1 receives the first reference voltage Vref1, the enable terminal of the first comparator Comp1 is electrically connected to the output terminal of the second comparator Comp2, the positive input terminal of the second comparator Comp2 receives the off-chip resistor sampling voltage VPGADJ, the reverse input terminal of the second comparator Comp2 receives the second reference voltage Vref2, the positive input terminal of the third comparator Comp3 receives the on-chip resistor sampling voltage VFB, the reverse input terminal of the third comparator Comp3 receives the third reference voltage Vref3, and the enable terminal of the third comparator Comp3 is electrically connected to the output terminal of the second comparator Comp2.

[0053] The second resistor module 80 includes a third resistor R3 and a fourth resistor R4, the first end of the third resistor R3 is electrically connected to the output node of the low voltage difference linear voltage regulator circuit, the second end of the third resistor R3 and the first end of the fourth resistor R4 are both electrically connected to the on-chip resistor sampling voltage node, and the second end of the fourth resistor R4 is electrically connected to the ground node.

[0054] In a specific implementation manner, the microcontroller power supply circuit that sets an off-chip adjustable power-good threshold also includes a second comparison module 60, a third comparison module 70 and a second resistance module 80. The second comparison module 60 determines whether the first comparison module 50 or the third comparison module 70 is enabled. The second resistance module 80 generates an on-chip resistance sampling voltage VFB according to the output voltage of the output node of the low-voltage difference linear voltage regulator circuit. When the third comparison module 70 is in the enabled state, it determines the target level signal output from the power-good node to the microcontroller according to the on-chip resistance sampling voltage VFB and the third reference voltage Vref3.

[0055] That is, when the startup threshold voltage of the single-chip microcomputer electrically connected to the low-voltage difference linear voltage regulator circuit is different from the preset startup threshold voltage, the second comparison module 60 enables the first comparison module 50, and compares the off-chip resistor sampling voltage VPGADJ and the first reference voltage Vref1 through the first comparison module 50 to determine the target level signal output from the power good node PG to the single-chip microcomputer; when the startup threshold voltage of the single-chip microcomputer electrically connected to the low-voltage difference linear voltage regulator circuit is the same as the preset startup threshold voltage, the second comparison module 60 enables the third comparison module 70, and compares the on-chip resistor sampling voltage VFB and the third reference voltage Vref3 through the third comparison module 70 to determine the target level signal output from the power good node PG to the single-chip microcomputer.

[0056] Specific, combined Figure 5When the enable signal generation module 10 generates a first enable signal to the switch module 20, the switch module 20 is turned off. At this time, the off-chip resistor sampling voltage node PGADJ is electrically connected to the second end of the first resistor R1. When there is an output voltage at the output node of the low voltage difference linear voltage regulator circuit, the off-chip resistor sampling voltage of the off-chip resistor sampling voltage node is greater than zero. When the enable signal generation module 10 generates a second enable signal to the switch module 20, the switch module 20 is turned on. At this time, the off-chip resistor sampling voltage node PGADJ is electrically connected to the ground node through the switch Switch, and the off-chip resistor sampling voltage VPGADJ of the off-chip resistor sampling voltage node PGADJ is equal to zero. The second comparator Comp2 generates a level signal to the first comparator Comp1 and the third comparator Comp3 by comparing the relationship between the off-chip resistor sampling voltage VPGADJ of the off-chip resistor sampling voltage node and the second reference voltage Vref2, and determines the enable state of the first comparator Comp1 and the third comparator Comp3 based on the output level signal.

[0057] Specifically, when the off-chip resistor sampling voltage VPGADJ is greater than the second reference voltage Vref2, the second comparator Comp2 outputs a first level signal (high level) to the first comparator Comp1 and the third comparator Comp3; when the off-chip resistor sampling voltage VPGADJ is less than the second reference voltage Vref2, the second comparator Comp2 outputs a second level signal (low level) to the first comparator Comp1 and the third comparator Comp3; the first comparator Comp1 is in an enabled state when the second comparator Comp2 outputs a high level, and is in a disabled state when the second comparator Comp2 outputs a low level; the third comparator Comp3 is in an enabled state when the second comparator Comp2 outputs a low level, and is in a disabled state when the second comparator Comp2 outputs a high level.

[0058] When the switch module 20 is turned off, the off-chip resistor sampling voltage VPGADJ is greater than the second reference voltage Vref2. When the switch module 20 is turned on, the off-chip resistor sampling voltage VPGADJ is less than the second reference voltage Vref2. The on and off of the switch module 20 is determined based on the enable signal generated by the enable signal generation module 10. Whether the enable signal generation module 10 generates the first enable signal or the second enable signal is related to the relationship between the startup threshold voltage of the single-chip microcomputer and the preset startup threshold voltage. Therefore, when the startup threshold voltage of the single-chip microcomputer is different from the preset startup threshold voltage, the enable signal The generating module 10 generates a first enabling signal to the switching module 20, the switching module 20 is turned off, the off-chip resistor sampling voltage VPGADJ is greater than the second reference voltage Vref2, the second comparator Comp2 outputs a first level signal to the first comparator Comp1 and the third comparator Comp3, the first comparator Comp1 is in an enabling state, and the third comparator Comp3 is in a non-enabling state, the first comparator Comp1 determines the target level signal outputted from the power good node PG to the microcontroller by comparing the off-chip resistor sampling voltage VPGADJ and the first reference voltage Vref1. When the startup threshold voltage of the single-chip microcomputer is the same as the preset startup threshold voltage, the enable signal generation module 10 generates a second enable signal to the switch module 20, the switch module 20 is turned on, the off-chip resistor sampling voltage VPGADJ is less than the second reference voltage Vref2, and the second comparator Comp2 outputs a second level signal to the first comparator Comp1 and the third comparator Comp3, the third comparator Comp3 is in an enabled state, and the first comparator Comp1 is in a non-enabled state. The third comparator Comp3 determines the target level signal output by the power good node to the single-chip microcomputer by comparing the on-chip resistor sampling voltage VFB and the third reference voltage Vref3.

[0059] Based on the above embodiment, the microcontroller power supply circuit with an off-chip adjustable power good threshold further includes a reference voltage generating module 90; the reference voltage generating module 90 is configured to generate a first reference voltage Vref1, a second reference voltage Vref2 and a third reference voltage Vref3.

[0060] The first reference voltage Vref1 is determined based on the rated operating voltage of the single chip microcomputer, the initial voltage division of the first resistance module and a preset startup threshold voltage.

[0061] The second reference voltage Vref2 is a fixed voltage value, which is generally set to 100 mV.

[0062] The third reference voltage Vref3 is determined based on the rated operating voltage of the single chip microcomputer, the divided voltage of the second resistance module and the preset startup threshold voltage.
