At this time, the reverse-biased PN junction D1 in the overvoltage protection module REG conducts, the gate of the NMOS transistor M4 is at a low level, the NMOS transistor M4 is turned off, so the bias voltage BIAS is 0, and the power supply selection module CMP1 does not work.

Moreover, without creative efforts, the technical means or technical features in the embodiments of the present invention can be replaced. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0024] As Figure 1 shown, a linear charging circuit with an integrated communication interface according to the present invention includes a linear charging module, a communication link module, an overvoltage protection module REG, a power supply selection module CMP1, and a general circuit module. The input end of the linear charging module, the input end of the communication link module, and the input end of the overvoltage protection module REG are connected to the input signal VIN. The output end of the linear charging module is connected to the battery terminal BAT and the first input end of the power supply selection module CMP1. The output end of the overvoltage protection module REG is connected to the second input end of the power supply selection module CMP1 and generates the signal VIN_REG. The output end of the power supply selection module CMP1 is connected to the general circuit module to provide the power supply AVCC for the general circuit module.

[0025] The linear charging module includes a high-voltage-resistant NMOS transistor M1 and a high-voltage-resistant NMOS transistor M2. The drain of the high-voltage-resistant NMOS transistor M1 serves as the input end of the linear charging module. The source of the high-voltage-resistant NMOS transistor M1 is connected to the drain of the high-voltage-resistant NMOS transistor M2. The source of the high-voltage-resistant NMOS transistor M2 serves as the output end of the linear charging module. The gates of the high-voltage-resistant NMOS transistor M1 and the high-voltage-resistant NMOS transistor M2 are connected to the control signal ctl1.

[0026] The communication link module includes a high-voltage-resistant NMOS transistor M3.

The gate of the high-voltage-resistant NMOS transistor M3 is connected to the control signal ctl2, and the control signal ctl1 and the control signal ctl2 are reverse signals.

[0027] As Figure 4 shown, the control signal ctl1 and the control signal ctl2 are generated by a first control signal circuit.

The other end of resistor R1 is connected to the cathode of reverse-biased PN junction D1 and the gate of NMOS transistor M4. The other end of resistor R2 is connected to the drain of NMOS transistor M4. The source of NMOS transistor M4 is connected to one end of resistor R4 and the drain of PMOS transistor M5 and serves as the output terminal of the overvoltage protection module REG to generate the signal VIN_REG. The other end of resistor R4 is connected to the drain and gate of NMOS transistor M6 to generate the bias voltage BIAS. The other end of resistor R3 is connected to the gate of PMOS transistor M5 and one end of resistor R5. The other end of resistor R5 is connected to one end of NMOS transistor M7. The gate of NMOS transistor M7 is connected to the control signal OVP. The anode of reverse-biased PN junction D1, the source of NMOS transistor M6, and the source of NMOS transistor M7 are grounded. The resistance values of resistors R2 and R4 are relatively large. When NMOS transistor M4 is in the on state, the maximum current passing through NMOS transistor M6 is (VIN - GND) / (R2 + R4), which is ensured to be less than 1 μA during design. This current always remains in the on state and provides the bias voltage BIAS. The maximum bias current of the comparator is set to a 1 μA constant current source to ensure that even when a suitable power supply is not selected, the comparator can maintain the basic working state and avoid logic dead zones and oscillation problems.

[0029] As Figure 5 shown in the figure, the control signal OVP is generated by the second control signal circuit. The second control signal circuit includes comparator CMP3 and inverter INV4. The first input terminal of comparator CMP3 is connected to the input signal VIN. The second input terminal of comparator CMP3 is connected to the reference voltage REF2. The output terminal of comparator CMP3 is connected to the input terminal of inverter INV4. The output terminal of inverter INV4 generates the control signal OVP.

[0030] As Figure 3As shown in the figure, the power supply selection module CMP1 includes PMOS transistor M8, PMOS transistor M9, NMOS transistor M10, NMOS transistor M11, NMOS transistor M12, NMOS transistor M13, NMOS transistor M14, PMOS transistor M5, Schmitt trigger SMIT1, inverter INV2 and inverter INV3. The source of PMOS transistor M8 is connected to signal VIN_REG, the source of MOS transistor M9 is connected to battery terminal BAT. The gate of PMOS transistor M8 is connected to the drain of PMOS transistor M8, the drain of NMOS transistor M10 and the gate of PMOS transistor M9. The gates of NMOS transistor M10, NMOS transistor M11 and NMOS transistor M13 are connected to bias voltage BIAS. The sources of NMOS transistor M10, NMOS transistor M11 and NMOS transistor M13 are grounded. The source of PMOS transistor M9 is connected to power supply terminal BAT. The drain of PMOS transistor M9 is connected to the drain of NMOS transistor M11, the drain of NMOS transistor M12 and the input terminal of Schmitt trigger SMIT1. The output terminal of Schmitt trigger SMIT1 is connected to the input terminal of inverter INV2 and the gate of NMOS transistor M12. The source of NMOS transistor M12 is connected to the drain of NMOS transistor M13. The output terminal of inverter INV2 is connected to the input terminal of inverter INV3 and the gate of PMOS transistor M15. The output terminal of inverter INV3 is connected to the gate of NMOS transistor M14. The drain of NMOS transistor M14 is connected to battery terminal BAT. The source of NMOS transistor M14 is connected to the source of PMOS transistor M15 and serves as the output terminal of power supply selection module CMP1 to generate power supply AVCC. The drain of PMOS transistor M15 is connected to signal VIN_REG. The present invention adopts power supply selection module CMP1 to avoid the leakage problem caused by the high impedance state of the power supply when the system is not enabled. NMOS transistor M12, NMOS transistor M13 and Schmitt trigger SMIT1 jointly form a voltage hysteresis function to prevent the comparator from generating oscillating output when the input voltage is close. The logic signal after Schmitt trigger SMIT1 is cascaded with inverters to enhance the driving ability to turn on NMOS transistor M14 or PMOS transistor M15, thus realizing the function of selecting a higher voltage. This design ensures the stability and reliability of the power supply selection and avoids unnecessary repeated switching caused by input voltage fluctuations.

[0031] A linear charging circuit with an integrated communication interface reduces the required number of ports, improves the overall integration and efficiency of the chip, and solves the common leakage problem in traditional dual-power circuit systems through the design of multiplexing the VIN port. In traditional dual-power circuits, a comparator is usually required to select a suitable power supply. However, the comparator itself also needs current to provide bias. When the appropriate power supply is not selected, the comparator may not work properly, easily forming a logic dead zone or generating an oscillating output. In contrast, the power supply comparison and selection module in the present invention can ensure that the power supply does not enter the high-impedance state when the system is not enabled, thus avoiding the leakage problem caused thereby. A current-mode comparator is used to distinguish the voltage levels of the VIN_REG and BAT terminals, and a Schmitt trigger is used to form a voltage hysteresis function to prevent oscillating output when the input voltages are close. The driving ability of the logic signal is enhanced by cascading inverters to turn on M14 or M15, ensuring that the higher voltage can be correctly selected as the power supply.

[0032] A control method for a linear charging circuit with an integrated communication interface includes the following steps:

[0033] The reference voltage REF1 is equal to the voltage of the battery terminal BAT.

[0034] When the voltage of the input signal VIN is less than the reference voltage REF1, the output of the comparator CMP2 in the first control signal circuit is at a low level. At this time, the control signal ctl1 is at a low level and the control signal ctl2 is at a high level. Then the linear charging module is turned off and the communication link module is turned on. At this time, the linear charging circuit can exchange data with external devices or the main control unit through the communication link module. At the same time, the control signal OVP in the second control signal circuit is at a high level, then the NMOS transistor M7 in the overvoltage protection module REG is turned on, the gate of the PMOS transistor M5 is at a low level, the PMOS transistor M5 is turned on, and the voltage of the signal VIN_REG is equal to the input signal VIN. At this time, the voltage of the signal VIN_REG is lower than the voltage of the battery terminal BAT, and the power supply AVCC at the output end of the power supply selection module CMP1 is equal to the voltage of the battery terminal BAT.

[0035] When the voltage of the input signal VIN is greater than the reference voltage REF1 and less than the reference voltage REF2, the comparator CMP2 in the first control signal circuit outputs a high level. At this time, the control signal ctl1 is at a high level and the control signal ctl2 is at a low level. Then the linear charging module is turned on and the communication link module is turned off. At the same time, the control signal OVP in the second control signal circuit is at a high level, so the NMOS transistor M7 in the overvoltage protection module REG is turned on, the gate of the PMOS transistor M5 is at a low level, the PMOS transistor M5 is turned on, and the voltage of the signal VIN_REG is equal to the input signal VIN. At this time, the voltage of the signal VIN_REG is higher than or equal to the voltage of the battery terminal BAT, and the power supply AVCC at the output terminal of the power supply selection module CMP1 is equal to the voltage of the input signal VIN.

[0036] When the voltage of the input signal VIN is greater than the reference voltage REF2, the control signal OVP in the second control signal circuit is at a low level, so the NMOS transistor M7 in the overvoltage protection module REG is turned off, the gate of the PMOS transistor M5 is at a high level, the PMOS transistor M5 is turned off, and the voltage of the signal VIN_REG is equal to 0. At this time, the reverse-biased PN junction D1 in the overvoltage protection module REG conducts, the gate of the NMOS transistor M4 is at a low level, and the NMOS transistor M4 is turned off, so the bias voltage BIAS is 0, the power supply selection module CMP1 does not work, and the bias voltage BIAS also provides a bias voltage for the comparators in the first control signal circuit and the second control signal circuit. In this state, the two control signal circuits do not work either, and the two loops of the corresponding linear charging module and communication link module do not work.

[0037] The present invention provides an integrated communication interface linear charging circuit and its control method, which effectively solves the problems of leakage, logic dead zone and oscillation existing in the traditional dual-power circuit system, and improves the stability and reliability of the system; at the same time, the design of multiplexing the VIN port further simplifies the circuit structure and improves the overall integration and efficiency.

Although the present invention has been disclosed above with the preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can make some changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to make equivalent embodiments with equivalent changes within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
