Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of power diodes, and in particular to a high-end ideal diode based on a voltage comparator. Background Art

[0002] Diodes are used more and more due to their unidirectional conduction characteristics and backflow prevention functions. In particular, Schottky diodes have a smaller voltage drop and are becoming more and more popular among designers. Since the conduction voltage drop of Schottky diodes is still greater than that of MOS tubes, for some voltage-sensitive circuits, MOS tubes with low impedance characteristics are more preferred to improve product reliability.

[0003] At present, the Oring circuit is used in many occasions to ensure that each single power supply is independent of each other and does not have backflow. It is most commonly used in current sharing circuits to meet different power requirements. Therefore, a low-loss high-end ideal diode and an ultra-low-loss ideal diode are needed to further reduce the voltage drop and have the function of preventing backflow and protecting the front stage, so as to minimize the loss and extend the battery working time.

[0004] The main technical solutions for high-end ideal diodes implemented by existing technologies are as follows.

[0005] PMOS main tube + PMOS pair tube (auxiliary tube) technical solution: existing technology patent (an ultra-low loss ideal diode, patent number: CN201821304820.X), which uses PMOS main tube to realize high-end ideal diode, including comparison circuit (logic control circuit) and PMOS main tube.

[0006] NMOS main tube + NMOS pair tube (auxiliary tube) technical solution: It adopts NMOS main tube to realize high-end ideal diode. The circuit consists of an NMOS main tube, two NMOS auxiliary tubes, bias power supply VBIAS, etc. The load RL is located between the positive pole of the power supply VCC and the NMOS main tube V1. An additional higher voltage bias power supply VBIAS is required (to meet VCC+V TN <VBIAS,V TN Using two NMOS auxiliary tubes with the same parameters can ensure that the parameters of the two NMOS auxiliary tubes are basically equal, or preferably a pair of NMOS tubes packaged together, so that the parameters of the two are almost equal, thereby ensuring proper switching and anti-backflow functions.

[0007] The comparator implemented by the above technical solution belongs to a single-limit comparator: that is, the circuit has only one threshold voltage V T, any small change in the input voltage near the threshold voltage will cause a jump in the output voltage, regardless of whether the small change comes from the input signal or external interference. T When the output voltage Vo changes from V OH becomes V OL , or V OL becomes V OH The applied circuits include zero-crossing comparator and general single-limit comparator. Single-limit comparator is very sensitive, but has poor anti-interference ability. Summary of the invention

[0040] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention can be implemented in many different ways as defined and covered by the claims.

[0041] Implementation Method 1

[0042] Circuit such as Figure 1 As shown, a high-end ideal diode based on a voltage comparator includes a PMOS main tube, a comparator, a voltage comparator, a bias power supply, etc. The comparator is composed of a front-end (or left-end, left side, located in front of the PMOS main tube) PMOS auxiliary tube V2 and a rear-end (or right-end, right side, located behind the PMOS main tube) PMOS auxiliary tube V3.

[0043] This circuit belongs to the drain of the back-end PMOS auxiliary tube V3 indirectly controlling the PMOS main tube V1: the drain of the back-end PMOS auxiliary tube V3 outputs a VC signal, the VC signal is compared with the reference level VREF of the voltage comparator, and the output VB signal controls the PMOS main tube V1. The working principle of the high-end ideal diode is as follows.

[0044] When the DC power supply VCC=VCC1 is powered on (forward conduction), the current output by VCC first passes through the body diode of PMOS tube V1 (Vout=VCC-V F , V F When the output current gradually increases and the internal power supply VCC is obviously higher than the external voltage Vout (VCC>Vout), the PMOS tube V2 gradually turns on (from cut-off, linear conduction, and finally to saturation conduction, and the conduction current is inversely proportional to R1), VA=VCC+V TP (V TP is the PMOS tube conduction threshold voltage); the drain-source channel impedance of the PMOS tube V3 gradually increases (from saturation conduction, linear conduction, and finally to the cut-off state), and the drain voltage VC of the PMOS tube V3 gradually decreases, and finally VC≈0V, satisfying VREF=Vout×R6 / (R6+R5)>VC, and the voltage comparator U1 outputs a low level, that is, VB≈0V. When V1 GS =VB-Vout≈-Vout≈-VCC<V TP , the drain-source channel of the PMOS tube V1 is turned on, and the VCC current passes through the drain-source low-impedance channel of the PMOS tube V1 to the load RL (no longer passes through the body diode high-impedance channel of the PMOS tube V1). The drain-source channel of the PMOS tube V1 has a small conduction impedance, that is, the conduction loss is less than that of the diode, which reduces power loss and improves power utilization efficiency.

[0045] When the external voltage Vout=VCC2 is greater than or equal to the internal power supply VCC (Vout≥VCC), the drain-source channel impedance of the PMOS tube V2 gradually increases (from saturation conduction, linear conduction, and finally to weak conduction state), and the PMOS tube V3 gradually turns on (from cutoff, linear conduction, and finally to saturation conduction, and the conduction current is inversely proportional to R2), and the voltage VC gradually increases. Finally, VC≈Vout, VC>VREF=Vout×R6 / (R6+R5), the voltage comparator U1 outputs a high level, VB=Vout, when V1 GS =VB-Vout≈0V, the drain-source channel of the PMOS tube V1 is cut off, the power supply VCC1 is isolated from the external voltage Vout, and the current of the external power supply (other power supplies connected in parallel with the voltage Vout) cannot flow back into the power supply VCC, thereby achieving the purpose of protecting the power supply VCC.

[0046] Preferably, the voltage comparator has a voltage comparator with a hysteresis loop transmission characteristic (also known as a Schmitt trigger). The threshold voltage of this comparator changes with the change of the output voltage at an accelerated rate, so the anti-interference ability is improved. The hysteresis comparator has a hysteresis characteristic, that is, inertia, and thus has a certain anti-interference ability. The stronger the anti-interference ability, the worse the sensitivity. The hysteresis comparator circuit has two threshold voltages. The input voltage VCC causes the output voltage Vout to jump in the process of gradual increase. The input voltage VCC causes the output voltage Vout to jump in the process of gradual decrease. The threshold voltage VT2, VT1≠VT2, the circuit has a hysteresis characteristic. The same as the single-limit comparator is that when the input voltage changes in a single direction, the output voltage Vout only jumps once.

[0047] Preferably, the PMOS main tube V1 can use PMOS tubes with different conduction current sizes. For high-power power supply control, the PMOS tube can select a conduction resistance R between the drain and the source. DS(ON) A power tube device with a current of several milliohms and a large flow rate. When a large current flows through it, the conduction voltage drop is small, that is, it has a very low forward voltage and can be approximated as an ideal diode.

[0048] Implementation Method 2

[0049] Circuit such as Figure 2 As shown, the circuit structure is basically the same as that of Implementation Method 1, except that: Implementation Method 1 is that the drain of the back-end PMOS auxiliary tube V3 indirectly controls the PMOS main tube V1, and Implementation Method 2 is that the drain of the front-end PMOS auxiliary tube V2 indirectly controls the PMOS main tube V1: the drain of the front-end PMOS auxiliary tube V2 outputs a VC signal, the VC signal is compared with the reference level VREF of the voltage comparator, and the VB signal is output to control the PMOS main tube V1. The working principle of the constructed high-end ideal diode is as follows.

[0050] When the DC power supply VCC=VCC1 is powered on (forward conduction), the current output by VCC first passes through the body diode of PMOS tube V1 (Vout=VCC-V F ), when the current output by VCC gradually increases, the internal power supply VCC is obviously higher than the external voltage Vout (VCC>Vout), the PMOS tube V2 gradually turns on (from cut-off, linear conduction, and finally to saturation conduction, the conduction current is inversely proportional to R1), VA = VCC + V TP The drain-source channel impedance of the PMOS tube V3 gradually increases (from saturated conduction, linear conduction, and finally to weak conduction state), and the drain voltage VC of the PMOS tube V2 gradually increases, VC≈VCC, satisfying VREF=Vout×R6 / (R6+R5)<VC, and the voltage comparator U1 outputs a low level, that is, VB≈0V. When V1 GS =VB-Vout≈-Vout<V TP , the drain-source channel of the PMOS tube V1 is turned on, and the VCC current passes through the drain-source low-impedance channel of the PMOS tube V1 to the load RL (no longer passes through the body diode high-impedance channel of the PMOS tube V1). The drain-source channel of the PMOS tube V1 has a small conduction impedance, that is, the conduction loss is less than that of the diode, which reduces power loss and improves power utilization efficiency.

[0051] When the external voltage Vout=VCC2 is greater than or equal to the internal power supply VCC (Vout≥VCC), the drain-source channel impedance of the PMOS tube V2 gradually increases (from saturation conduction, linear conduction, and finally to high resistance or cut-off state), the PMOS tube V3 gradually turns on (from cut-off, linear conduction, and finally to saturation conduction, and the conduction current is inversely proportional to R2), the voltage VC gradually decreases, and finally VC≈0V, VC<VREF=Vout×R6 / (R6+R5), the voltage comparator U1 outputs a high level, VB=Vout, when V1 GS =VB-Vout≈0V, the drain-source channel of the PMOS tube V1 is cut off, the power supply VCC1 is isolated from the external voltage Vout, and the current of the external power supply (other power supplies connected in parallel with the voltage Vout) cannot flow back into the power supply VCC, thereby achieving the purpose of protecting the power supply VCC.

[0052] Implementation Method 3

[0053] Circuit such as Figure 3As shown, a high-end ideal diode based on a voltage comparator includes an NMOS main tube, a comparator, a voltage comparator, a bias power supply, etc. The comparator is composed of a front-end NMOS auxiliary tube V2 and a back-end NMOS auxiliary tube V3. This circuit belongs to the drain of the front-end NMOS auxiliary tube V2 indirectly controlling the NMOS main tube V1: the drain of the front-end NMOS auxiliary tube V2 outputs a VC signal, the VC signal is compared with the reference level VREF of the voltage comparator, and the VB signal is output to control the NMOS main tube V1. The working principle of the high-end ideal diode is as follows.

[0054] When the DC power supply VCC=VCC1 is powered on (forward conduction), the current output by VCC first passes through the body diode of the NMOS V1 (Vout=VCC-V F ), when the output current gradually increases, the internal power supply VCC is higher than the external voltage Vout (VCC>Vout), the NMOS tube V3 gradually turns on (from cut-off, linear conduction, and finally to saturation conduction, the conduction current is inversely proportional to R2), VA=Vout+V TN ≈VCC+V TN (V TN is the NMOS tube conduction threshold voltage); the drain-source channel impedance of the NMOS tube V2 gradually increases (from saturated conduction, linear conduction, and finally to weak conduction state), and the drain voltage VC of the NMOS tube V2 gradually increases, satisfying VA<VC<VBIAS, that is, VCC+V TN <VC<VBIAS, the level of VC is relatively high, and it must satisfy VC>VREF=VBIAS×R6 / (R6+R5). When the voltage of VC is greater than VREF, the voltage comparator U1 outputs a high level, that is, VB=VBIAS(VBIAS>VCC+V TN ), the drain-source channel of the NMOS V1 is turned on, and the VCC current flows through the drain-source channel of the NMOS V1 to the load RL (no longer through the body diode of the NMOS V1). The on-resistance of the NMOS V1 is small, that is, the conduction loss is smaller than that of the diode, which reduces the power loss and improves the power utilization efficiency.

[0055] Reverse cutoff: When the external power supply Vout = VCC2 is greater than or equal to the internal power supply VCC (Vout ≥ VCC), the drain-source channel impedance of the NMOS tube V3 gradually increases to cutoff (from saturation conduction, linear conduction, and finally to weak conduction state); when VBIAS> Vout-V F When VA=VCC+V TN ; When VBIAS≤Vout-V F When Vout passes through the body diode of NMOS tube V3, VA = Vout-V F =VCC2-V F , V3GS =VA-Vout=VCC2-V F -VCC2=-V F ≤V TN , the drain-source channel of NMOS tube V3 is cut off, and NMOS tube V2 is gradually turned on (from cutoff, linear turn-on, and finally to saturation turn-on, with very small impedance, about tens of milliohms, and the on-current is inversely proportional to R2), and the voltage VC gradually decreases, and finally VC=VCC. When the voltage of VC is less than VREF, that is, VREF=VBIAS×R6 / (R6+R5)>VCC, the voltage comparator U1 outputs a low level, the drain-source channel of NMOS tube V1 is cut off, the internal power supply VCC is isolated from the external circuit, and the current of the external power supply cannot be backflowed into the internal of this power supply, thereby achieving the purpose of protecting the power supply VCC.

[0056] NMOS tube V1 can use NMOS tubes with different conduction currents. For high-power power control, the NMOS tube can choose the conduction resistance R between the drain and the source. DS(ON) A power tube device with a current of several milliohms and a large flow rate. When a large current flows through it, the conduction voltage drop is small, that is, it has a very low forward voltage and can be approximated as an ideal diode.

[0057] Implementation Method 4

[0058] Circuit such as Figure 4 As shown, the circuit structure is basically the same as that of the third implementation mode, except that: in the third implementation mode, the drain of the front-end NMOS auxiliary tube V2 indirectly controls the NMOS main tube V1, and in the fourth implementation mode, the drain of the back-end NMOS auxiliary tube V3 indirectly controls the NMOS main tube V1: the drain of the back-end NMOS auxiliary tube V3 outputs a VC signal, the VC signal is compared with the reference level VREF of the voltage comparator, and the VB signal is output to control the NMOS main tube V1. The working principle of the constructed high-end ideal diode is as follows.

[0059] When the DC power supply VCC=VCC1 is powered on (forward conduction), the current output by VCC first passes through the body diode of the NMOS V1 (Vout=VCC-V F ), when the current output by VCC gradually increases, the internal power supply VCC is higher than the external voltage Vout (VCC>Vout), the NMOS tube V3 gradually turns on (from cut-off, linear conduction, and finally to saturation conduction, the conduction current is inversely proportional to R2), VA=Vout+V TN ≈VCC+V TN (V TNis the NMOS tube conduction threshold voltage); the drain-source channel impedance of the NMOS tube V2 gradually increases (from saturated conduction, linear conduction, and finally to weak conduction state), and the drain voltage VC of the NMOS tube V2 gradually increases, satisfying VC<VA<VBIAS, that is, VA=VCC+V TN , VC≈Vout≈VCC, must satisfy VC<VREF=VBIAS×R6 / (R6+R5), when the voltage of VC is less than VREF, the voltage comparator U1 outputs a high level, that is, VB=VBIAS(VBIAS>VCC+V TN ), the drain-source channel of the NMOS V1 is turned on, and the VCC current flows through the drain-source channel of the NMOS V1 to the load RL (no longer through the body diode of the NMOS V1). The on-resistance of the NMOS V1 is small, that is, the conduction loss is smaller than that of the diode, which reduces the power loss and improves the power utilization efficiency.

[0060] Reverse cutoff: When the external voltage Vout = VCC2 is greater than or equal to the internal power supply VCC (Vout ≥ VCC), the drain-source channel impedance of the NMOS tube V3 gradually increases to cutoff (from saturation conduction, linear conduction, and finally to cutoff state): When VBIAS> Vout-V F When VA=VCC+V TN ; When VBIAS≤Vout-V F When Vout passes through the body diode of NMOS tube V3, VA = Vout-V F =VCC2-V F , V3 GS =VA-Vout=VCC2-V F -VCC2=-V F ≤V TN , the drain-source channel of NMOS tube V3 is cut off, and NMOS tube V2 is gradually turned on (from cutoff, linear turn-on, and finally to saturation turn-on, with very small impedance, about tens of milliohms, and the on-current is inversely proportional to R2), the voltage VC gradually increases, and finally VC=VBIAS. When the voltage of VC is obviously greater than VREF, that is, VC=VBIAS>VREF=VBIAS×R6 / (R6+R5), the voltage comparator U1 outputs a low level, the drain-source channel of NMOS tube V1 is cut off, the internal power supply VCC is isolated from the external circuit, and the current of the external power supply cannot be backflowed into the internal power supply, thereby achieving the purpose of protecting the power supply VCC.
