Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of circuit technology, and in particular to an LDO circuit, chip, and electronic device. Background Art
[0002] In integrated circuit applications, circuits with a low-dropout linear regulator (LDO) structure (hereinafter referred to as LDO circuits) are widely used in power management chips to power subsequent circuits due to their low cost, simple structure, and ease of integration. During stable operation, LDO circuits, through components such as op amps and power dissipators, ensure that when the power supply voltage VDD varies within a certain range, a stable output voltage VOUT is maintained, serving as the power supply voltage for subsequent circuits, thus ensuring the stability of these circuits. Therefore, a high-quality LDO circuit should exhibit a high power supply rejection ratio (PSRR) and strong stability.
[0003] During normal operation of an LDO circuit, if the power supply voltage VDD drops to a zero or even negative voltage difference with the output voltage VOUT, a large quiescent current will be generated in the LDO circuit. In this case, if the battery is supplying power to the LDO circuit, the large quiescent current will accelerate the battery discharge rate, causing damage to the battery. Summary of the Invention

[0029] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.
[0030] like Figure 1 FIG2 is a schematic diagram of the structure of an LDO circuit. LDO circuit 10 may include: a third resistor R1, a fourth resistor R2, a first P-type power transistor MP1, a first P-type enhancement transistor MP2, a sixth switching transistor MP3, a fifth switching transistor MP4, an N-type power transistor DN1, a seventh N-type enhancement transistor MN1, and a sixth N-type enhancement transistor MN2.
[0031] In some optional embodiments, the LDO circuit 10 has a power supply terminal that can be connected to a battery, and the battery provides a power supply voltage VDD to the LDO circuit 10. The LDO circuit 10 has an output terminal that is connected to the input terminal of a subsequent circuit, and the output terminal voltage VOUT of the LDO circuit 10 is used as the input voltage of the subsequent circuit to power the subsequent circuit.
[0032] In some optional embodiments, the source of the fifth switch tube MP4 is respectively connected to the power supply end, the source of the first P-type enhancement tube MP2, the source of the sixth switch tube MP3, and the source of the first P-type power tube MP1; the drain of the fifth switch tube MP4 is connected to the drain of the N-type consumption tube DN1; and the gate of the fifth switch tube MP4 is used to receive the third enable signal ENB.
[0033] The drain of the first P-type enhancement transistor MP2 and the gate of the first P-type enhancement transistor MP2 form a diode connection, which can improve the stability of the LDO circuit 10. The drain of the first P-type enhancement transistor MP2 is connected to the drain of the sixth N-type enhancement transistor MN2, and the gate of the first P-type enhancement transistor MP2 is connected to the gate of the first P-type power transistor MP1 and the drain of the sixth switching transistor MP3.
[0034] The gate of the sixth switch tube MP3 is configured to receive a fourth enable signal EN.
[0035] The drain of the first P-type power transistor MP1 is connected to the first end of the third resistor R1 and the output end of the LDO circuit 10 respectively.
[0036] The gate and source of the N-type power transistor DN1 are short-circuited to provide a reference current to the LDO circuit 10. The source of the N-type power transistor DN1 is connected to the drain of the seventh N-type enhancement transistor MN1 and the gate of the sixth N-type enhancement transistor MN2.
[0037] The source of the seventh N-type enhancement transistor MN1 is grounded, and the gate of the seventh N-type enhancement transistor MN1 is connected to the second end of the third resistor R1.
[0038] The source of the sixth N-type boost transistor MN2 is connected to the source of the seventh N-type boost transistor MN1.
[0039] The second end of the third resistor R1 is connected to the first end of the fourth resistor R2 , and the second end of the fourth resistor R2 is connected to the source of the seventh N-type enhancement transistor MN1 .
[0040] In some optional embodiments, the voltage at the second end of the third resistor R1 can be recorded as the feedback voltage VFB. Therefore, in the LDO circuit 10, the output voltage VOUT and the feedback voltage VFB satisfy VOUT=VFB×(R1+R2) / R2.
[0041] In some optional embodiments, when the fourth enable signal EN received by the gate of the sixth switch transistor MP3 is at a high level and the third enable signal ENB received by the gate of the fifth switch transistor MP4 is at a low level, the LDO circuit 10 is turned on. When the fourth enable signal EN received by the gate of the sixth switch transistor MP3 is at a low level and the third enable signal ENB received by the gate of the fifth switch transistor MP4 is at a high level, the LDO circuit 10 is turned off.
[0042] The working principle of the LDO circuit 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0043] In some optional embodiments, the operating principle of the LDO circuit 10 may include: when the fourth enable signal EN received by the gate of the sixth switch MP3 is at a high level, and the third enable signal ENB received by the gate of the fifth switch MP4 is at a low level, the LDO circuit 10 is activated. The gate and source of the N-type power transistor DN1 are short-circuited, providing a reference current to the LDO circuit 10. This reference current can flow from the N-type power transistor DN1 to the seventh N-type power transistor MN1. At this time, the gate voltage of the seventh N-type power transistor MN1 is zero, that is, the feedback voltage VFB is zero, and the current in the seventh N-type power transistor MN1 is zero. Furthermore, the gate voltage V1 of the sixth N-type power transistor MN2 gradually increases, turning on the sixth N-type power transistor MN2, causing the gate voltage V2 of the first P-type power transistor MP1 to decrease. As a result, the first P-type power transistor MP1 is turned on, and the output voltage VOUT gradually increases to a steady-state value, and the LDO circuit 10 is in normal operation. At this time, the feedback voltage VFB is stable, and the current flowing through the seventh N-type enhancement transistor MN1 is equal to the reference current. In the LDO circuit 10, the seventh N-type enhancement transistor MN1, the N-type consumption transistor DN1, the sixth N-type enhancement transistor MN2, the first P-type power transistor MP1, the third resistor R1, and the fourth resistor R2 form a loop. The LDO circuit 10 can provide a stable output voltage VOUT to the subsequent circuit.
[0044] It can be understood that the LDO circuit 10 is a power supply circuit that is used to output a stable output voltage VOUT after the power supply voltage VDD passes through the LDO circuit 10. Furthermore, the power supply voltage VDD is constantly changing. Despite this change, the LDO circuit 10 can still ensure the stability of the output voltage VOUT. Therefore, a voltage difference exists between the output voltage VOUT and the power supply voltage VDD. For example, if the stable value of the output voltage VOUT is 2.8V and the power supply voltage VDD is 3.3V, the voltage difference is 0.5V. This voltage difference is within the set voltage difference threshold range and does not affect the LDO circuit 10's ability to provide a stable output voltage VOUT to the subsequent circuit.
[0045] In some optional embodiments, when the power supply voltage VDD of the LDO circuit 10 decreases, causing the voltage difference between the power supply voltage VDD and the output voltage VOUT to be zero or even negative, the feedback voltage VFB in the LDO circuit 10 decreases along with the power supply voltage VDD. Consequently, the gate voltage V1 of the sixth N-type enhancement transistor MN2 continues to increase until it equals the power supply voltage VDD, causing the sixth N-type enhancement transistor MN2 to be fully turned on, causing the gate voltage V2 of the first P-type power transistor MP1 to gradually decrease until it reaches zero.
[0046] In some optional embodiments, because the drain of the first P-type enhancement transistor MP2 is connected to the gate of the first P-type enhancement transistor MP2 in a diode connection, when the gate voltage V2 of the first P-type power transistor MP1 decreases until it reaches zero, the conduction level of the first P-type enhancement transistor MP2 increases. At this time, the quiescent current in the LDO circuit 10 gradually increases as the conduction level of the first P-type enhancement transistor MP2 increases. In the LDO circuit 10, the increase in quiescent current can lead to an increase in quiescent power consumption. When a battery is used to power the LDO circuit 10, the increase in quiescent power consumption further increases the rate of decrease of the power supply voltage VDD, and thus the output voltage VOUT decreases as the power supply voltage VDD decreases. This not only affects the power supply from the LDO circuit 10 to the subsequent circuit, but also accelerates the discharge of the battery, causing damage to the battery.
[0047] Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, the present application provides an LDO circuit. Figure 2 As shown, the LDO circuit 10 includes a current bias circuit 101, a driving circuit 102, a reference circuit 103 and a power circuit 107; the current bias circuit 101 includes a current unit 1011 and a control unit 1012, the first end of the current unit 1011 is used to connect to the first end of the reference circuit 103, the first end of the power circuit 107, and the power supply end, the second end of the current unit 1011 is connected to the first end of the control unit 1012, the second end of the control unit 1012 is connected to the first end of the driving circuit 102, and the third end of the control unit 1012 is connected to the first end of the driving circuit 102.

[0048] It can be understood that the current unit 1011 is used to provide a fixed bias current to the LDO circuit 10. During operation of the LDO circuit 10, when the power supply voltage VDD of the LDO circuit 10 decreases and the voltage difference between the power supply voltage VDD and the output voltage VOUT drops to a first voltage threshold, the current unit 1011 causes the current in the LDO circuit 10 to be the fixed bias current provided by the current unit 1011, so that the current in the LDO circuit 10 no longer increases. This can effectively reduce the static power consumption of the LDO circuit 10, and is conducive to reducing the battery discharge rate and reducing damage to the battery.

A second end of the third resistor R1 is connected to the first end of the fourth resistor R2.

[0069] The gate of the sixth switch tube MP3 is configured to receive a fourth enable signal EN.
[0070] The present application implements an LDO circuit 10 by adding a current bias circuit 101. During operation, the fifth switch MP4 in the LDO circuit 10 is turned on, and the sixth switch MP3 is turned off. When the power supply voltage VDD of the LDO circuit 10 drops, causing the voltage difference between the power supply voltage VDD and the output voltage VOUT to drop to zero or a negative value, the feedback voltage VFB decreases along with the output voltage VOUT. At this point, the gate voltage V1 of the sixth N-type enhancement transistor MN2 increases, causing the sixth N-type enhancement transistor MN2 to fully turn on. At this point, by limiting the current flowing through the first P-type enhancement transistor MP2 and the sixth N-type enhancement transistor MN2 to the fixed bias current provided by the first transistor MP5 of the current bias circuit 101, the quiescent current of the LDO circuit 10 stops increasing continuously. This effectively reduces the quiescent power consumption of the LDO circuit 10, which helps reduce the battery discharge rate and minimize damage to the battery.
[0071] Furthermore, when the power supply voltage VDD of the LDO circuit 10 no longer changes, the quiescent current of the LDO circuit 10 gradually decreases from the fixed bias current provided by the first transistor MP5 of the current bias circuit 101 to the current of the first P-type enhancement transistor MP2, without affecting the stability of the LDO circuit 10. In this way, the stability of the LDO circuit 10 can be ensured.
[0072] In some optional embodiments, when the fourth enable signal EN received by the gate of the sixth switch transistor MP3 is at a high level and the third enable signal ENB received by the gate of the fifth switch transistor MP4 is at a low level, the LDO circuit 10 starts operating. When the fourth enable signal EN received by the gate of the sixth switch transistor MP3 is at a low level and the third enable signal ENB received by the gate of the fifth switch transistor MP4 is at a high level, the LDO circuit 10 stops operating.
[0073] In some optional embodiments, the gate of the first transistor MP5 receives the first bias voltage signal VBP1 to provide a fixed bias current IBIAS to the LDO circuit 10 .
[0074] In the LDO circuit 10, when the LDO circuit 10 starts operating, the sixth switch MP3 turns off, the first transistor MP5 turns on, and the output voltage VOUT of the LDO circuit 10 gradually rises until it reaches a stable value. When VOUT reaches a stable value, VOUT = VFB × (R1 + R2) / R2, where VFB is the feedback voltage of the LDO circuit 10.
[0075] In this way, when the voltage difference between the power supply voltage VDD and the output voltage VOUT drops to a first voltage threshold, the current flowing through the first P-type enhancement transistor MP2 is fixed to the fixed bias current provided by the first transistor MP5, so that the quiescent current of the LDO circuit 10 is equal to the fixed bias current. When the power supply voltage VDD rises to a second voltage threshold, the quiescent current of the LDO circuit 10 gradually decreases from the fixed bias current provided by the first transistor MP5 to the current flowing through the first P-type enhancement transistor MP2, without affecting the stability of the LDO circuit 10. Furthermore, by controlling the quiescent current in the LDO circuit 10 to the fixed bias current when the power supply voltage VDD changes, the quiescent power consumption of the LDO circuit 10 can be effectively reduced, which helps reduce the battery discharge rate and minimize damage to the battery. Furthermore, the stability of the LDO circuit 10 can be ensured. Furthermore, the circuit architecture of the LDO circuit 10 is simple.

[0088] Among them, the source of the fifth P-type enhancement transistor MP11 is respectively connected to the drain of the seventh P-type enhancement transistor MP13 and the source of the sixth P-type enhancement transistor MP12, the drain of the fifth P-type enhancement transistor MP11 is respectively connected to the drain of the ninth N-type enhancement transistor MN9 and the gate of the tenth N-type enhancement transistor MN10, and the gate of the fifth P-type enhancement transistor MP11 is connected to the power supply terminal; the drain of the sixth P-type enhancement transistor MP12 is respectively connected to the gate of the eighth N-type enhancement transistor MN8, the drain of the eighth N-type enhancement transistor MN8, and the gate of the ninth N-type enhancement transistor MN9, and the gate of the sixth P-type enhancement transistor MP12 is connected to the output terminal of the LDO circuit 10; the source of the seventh P-type enhancement transistor MP13 is respectively connected to the power supply terminal and the source of the eighth P-type enhancement transistor MP14. The gate of the seventh P-type enhancement transistor MP13 is connected to the gate of the eighth P-type enhancement transistor MP14; the drain of the eighth P-type enhancement transistor MP14 and the drain of the tenth N-type enhancement transistor MN10 are respectively connected to the input end of the first inverter SCHMIT; the source of the eighth N-type enhancement transistor MN8 is respectively connected to the source of the ninth N-type enhancement transistor MN9 and the source of the tenth N-type enhancement transistor MN10; the output end of the first inverter SCHMIT is connected to the input end of the second inverter INV1; the output end of the second inverter INV1 is connected to the input end of the third inverter INV2, the output end of the third inverter INV2 is connected to the input end of the inverter circuit 109, and the output end of the third inverter INV2 is used to output the first enable signal EN1.
[0089] When the LDO circuit 10 is operating, when the second enable signal ENB1 received by the gate of the third switch MP7 is at a low level and the first enable signal EN1 received by the gate of the first transistor MP5 is at a high level, the third switch MP7 is turned off and the first transistor MP5 is turned on. When the second enable signal ENB1 received by the gate of the third switch MP7 is at a high level and the first enable signal EN1 received by the gate of the first transistor MP5 is at a low level, the third switch MP7 is turned on and the first transistor MP5 is turned off. Furthermore, the gate of the second switch MP6 is configured to receive the second bias voltage signal VBP2, thereby providing a fixed bias current IBIAS to the LDO circuit 10.
[0090] When the first transistor MP5 is a switch, the present application forms an LDO circuit 10 by adding a second switch MP6, a third switch MP7, a comparator circuit 108, and an inverter circuit 109 to the LDO circuit 10. During operation of the LDO circuit 10, the fifth switch MP4 in the LDO circuit 10 is turned on, the sixth switch MP3 is turned off, the first transistor MP5 is turned on, and the third switch MP7 is turned off. At this time, the output voltage VOUT of the LDO circuit 10 gradually rises until it reaches a stable value. When the output voltage VOUT is at a stable value, VOUT = VFB × (R1 + R2) / R2, where VFB is the feedback voltage in the LDO circuit 10.
[0091] When the power supply voltage VDD of the LDO circuit 10 decreases and the voltage difference between the power supply voltage VDD and the output voltage VOUT drops to a first voltage threshold, the first enable signal EN1 output by the third inverter INV2 to the fourth inverter INV0 is at a low level. This causes the gate of the third switch MP7 to receive the second enable signal ENB1 output by the fourth inverter INV0 to be at a high level, and the gate of the first transistor MP5 to receive the first enable signal EN1 output by the third inverter INV2 to be at a low level. As a result, the first transistor MP5 is turned off, the third switch MP7 is turned on, and the current switches from the current flowing through the first P-type enhancement transistor MP2 to the fixed bias current flowing through the second switch MP6. Because the first P-type enhancement transistor MP2 is diode-connected, when the power supply voltage VDD of the LDO circuit 10 decreases and the voltage difference between the power supply voltage VDD and the output voltage VOUT drops to zero or a negative value, the feedback voltage VFB decreases along with the output voltage VOUT. At this time, the gate voltage V1 of the sixth N-type enhancement transistor MN2 increases, causing the sixth N-type enhancement transistor MN2 to fully conduct. Consequently, a large and constant current flows through the first P-type enhancement transistor MP2 and the sixth N-type enhancement transistor MN2, resulting in high static power consumption in the LDO circuit 10.
[0092] Therefore, in the LDO circuit 10, when the voltage difference between the power supply voltage VDD and the output voltage VOUT drops to a first voltage threshold, the current flowing through the first P-type enhancement transistor MP2 is switched to a fixed bias current flowing through the second switch transistor MP6. This can effectively avoid an increase in quiescent current caused by a decrease in the power supply voltage VDD, effectively reduce the quiescent power consumption of the LDO circuit 10, and help reduce the battery discharge rate, thereby reducing damage to the battery.
[0093] Furthermore, when the voltage difference between the power supply voltage VDD and the output voltage VOUT rises to a second voltage threshold, the first enable signal EN1 output by the third inverter INV2 to the fourth inverter INV0 is high, causing the second enable signal ENB1 output by the fourth inverter INV0 to be low when received by the gate of the third switch MP7, and the first enable signal EN1 output by the third inverter INV2 to be high when received by the gate of the first transistor MP5. Consequently, the first transistor MP5 is turned on, the third switch MP7 is turned off, and the quiescent current of the LDO circuit 10 is switched from the fixed bias current provided by the second switch MP6 to the current flowing through the first transistor MP5, without affecting the stability of the LDO circuit 10. In this way, when the voltage difference between the power supply voltage VDD and the output voltage VOUT rises to the second voltage threshold, the quiescent current is switched back to the current flowing through the first transistor MP5, thereby ensuring the stability of the LDO circuit 10.
[0094] In some optional embodiments, when the fourth enable signal EN received by the gate of the sixth switch transistor MP3 is at a high level and the third enable signal ENB received by the gate of the fifth switch transistor MP4 is at a low level, the LDO circuit 10 starts operating. When the fourth enable signal EN received by the gate of the sixth switch transistor MP3 is at a low level and the third enable signal ENB received by the gate of the fifth switch transistor MP4 is at a high level, the LDO circuit 10 stops operating.
[0095] In this way, when the voltage difference between the power supply voltage VDD and the output voltage VOUT drops to a first voltage threshold, the current flowing through the first P-type enhancement transistor MP2 is switched to a fixed bias current provided by the second switch transistor MP6, so that the quiescent current of the LDO circuit 10 is equal to the fixed bias current. When the power supply voltage VDD rises to a second voltage threshold, the quiescent current of the LDO circuit 10 is switched from the fixed bias current provided by the second switch transistor MP6 to the current flowing through the first P-type enhancement transistor MP2, without affecting the stability of the LDO circuit 10. Furthermore, by switching the quiescent current in the LDO circuit 10 and controlling it to the fixed bias current when the power supply voltage VDD changes, the quiescent power consumption of the LDO circuit 10 can be effectively reduced, which helps to reduce the battery discharge rate and minimize damage to the battery. Furthermore, the stability of the LDO circuit 10 can be ensured.
