Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a high-voltage power supply high-voltage selection circuit and its control method, particularly a high-voltage power supply high-voltage selection circuit and its control method, belonging to the field of semiconductor integrated circuit technology. Background Technology
[0002] In power management systems, load switches integrating ideal diode functions provide more efficient and reliable power to OR (orific power) systems due to their key advantages such as low forward conduction losses, low leakage, and simplified load distribution. However, when one power source in a dual-power system fails, the function of its internal ideal diode circuit cannot be maintained, causing reverse current from the high-voltage supply to the low-voltage supply, resulting in a decrease in output voltage and potentially leading to system malfunctions or even damage.
[0003] In existing technologies, power selection circuits are often low-voltage designs. They use a low-voltage comparator to determine the magnitude of the input and output voltages, and then use the result as an enable signal to turn on the high-voltage side switch to achieve the function of selecting high voltage. However, in high-voltage scenarios, the two voltages to be compared may differ by tens of volts, making this approach no longer applicable. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a high-voltage selection circuit for both input and output voltages, which powers an ideal diode circuit to ensure that the ideal diode circuit can still operate normally when the input voltage is lost, thereby protecting the input power supply and the load.

[0013] A control method for a high-voltage power supply high-voltage selection circuit includes the following steps:

[0015]
[0016]
[0017] in, It refers to the electron mobility of a transistor. VTH is the gate oxide capacitance per unit area, and VTH is the threshold voltage.
[0018] The high-voltage NMOS transistor NDM1, resistor R3, and high-voltage PMOS transistor PDM7 form an enhancement-mode source follower structure, which enhances the current absorption capability of the floating low-voltage HVSS. When the floating low-voltage HVSS node needs to absorb a large current, the gate voltage of the high-voltage NMOS transistor NDM1 rises, turning on the high-voltage NMOS transistor NDM1 to assist the floating low-voltage HVSS node in absorbing current and prevent the floating low-voltage HVSS voltage from being raised.
[0019] This high-voltage floating comparator circuit consists of NMOS transistors NM1-NM4, PMOS transistors PM1-PM2, and high-voltage PMOS transistors PDM1-PDM4. NMOS transistors NM1-NM4 have the same width-to-length ratio, as do PMOS transistors PM1-PM2 and high-voltage PMOS transistors PDM1-PDM4. Current source I1 provides current bias for high-voltage transistors PDM1 and PDM2. High-voltage PMOS transistors PDM1-PDM4 have the same gate voltage. When the input signal V1 is greater than the input signal V2, the high-voltage PMOS transistor PDM1... As the current of transistor 3 increases, the current of high-voltage PMOS transistor PDM4 decreases, and the current of high-voltage PMOS transistor PDM3 is greater than the current of high-voltage PMOS transistor PDM4. The current of NMOS transistor NM2 is equal to the current of high-voltage PMOS transistor PDM3. NMOS transistor NM3 copies the current of NMOS transistor NM2. Therefore, the current of NMOS transistor NM3 is greater than the current of high-voltage PMOS transistor PDM4. The gate voltage of NMOS transistor NM4 is pulled down, and the drain voltage of NMOS transistor NM4 is pulled up by PMOS transistor PM2, resulting in a logic output of 1. Similarly, when the input signal V1 is less than the input signal V2, the logic output is 0.
[0020] Inverters INV1 to INV4 are inverters that float between the floating high voltage HVDD and the floating low voltage HVSS. After being driven by four inverters, the voltage of signal A is equal to the floating low voltage HVSS, and the voltage of signal B is equal to the floating high voltage HVDD. At this time, the high voltage PMOS transistor PDM5 is turned on, and HVDD = V1, thus realizing the high voltage selection function.
[0021] When input signals V1 and V2 are powered on, assuming V1 > V2, the floating high voltage HVDD will rise with the input signal V1, but the voltage drop of the body diode will decrease. When the floating high voltage HVDD is established to the point where the subsequent basic module can work, the bias current is generated, the high voltage floating comparator circuit can work normally, the high voltage PMOS transistor PDM5 turns on, and the voltage drop of the body diode is reduced to the voltage drop of the power transistor's drive current multiplied by the internal resistance, so that HVDD = V1.
[0022] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages and effects: The present invention provides a high-voltage power supply selection circuit and its control method. A floating voltage domain is generated by a floating power supply generation circuit, a floating comparator is designed in the voltage domain, and then the magnitudes of two input voltages are compared, thereby selecting the corresponding power transistor to realize the high-voltage power supply selection circuit.

[0032] A control method for a high-voltage power supply high-voltage selection circuit includes the following steps:

PMOS transistors PM3-PM10 have the same width-to-length ratio. If the magnitude of the current from current source I2 is I, then
[0034]
[0035]
[0036] in, It refers to the electron mobility of a transistor. VTH is the gate oxide capacitance per unit area, and HVSS is the threshold voltage. HVSS is designed to be only three times lower than the VGS voltage of HVDD, approximately 4-5V. Therefore, HVDD to HVSS is a low-voltage power supply in a floating high-voltage domain. The comparator circuit can be designed using low-voltage transistors in the high-voltage domain, which greatly saves area costs.
[0037] The high-voltage NMOS transistor NDM1, resistor R3, and high-voltage PMOS transistor PDM7 form an enhancement-mode source follower structure, which enhances the current absorption capability of the floating low-voltage HVSS. When the floating low-voltage HVSS node needs to absorb a large current, the gate voltage of the high-voltage NMOS transistor NDM1 rises, turning on the high-voltage NMOS transistor NDM1 to assist the floating low-voltage HVSS node in absorbing current and prevent the floating low-voltage HVSS voltage from being raised.
[0038] A high-voltage floating comparator circuit composed of NMOS transistors NM1-NM4, PMOS transistors PM1-PM2, and high-voltage PMOS transistors PDM1-PDM4 is used to compare the magnitudes of input voltage V1 and input voltage V2, and output a logic 1 or logic 0 signal. NMOS transistors NM1 to NM4 have the same width-to-length ratio, PMOS transistors PM1 to PM2 have the same width-to-length ratio, and high-voltage PMOS transistors PDM1 to PDM4 have the same width-to-length ratio. Current source I1 provides current source bias for high-voltage transistors PDM1 and PDM2. High-voltage PMOS transistors PDM1 to PDM4 have the same gate voltage. When the input signal V1 is greater than the input signal V2, the current of high-voltage PMOS transistor PDM3 increases, and the current of high-voltage PMOS transistor PDM4 decreases. Moreover, the current of high-voltage PMOS transistor PDM3 is greater than the current of high-voltage PMOS transistor PDM4. The current of NMOS transistor NM2 is equal to the current of high-voltage PMOS transistor PDM3. NMOS transistor NM3 copies the current of NMOS transistor NM2. Therefore, the current of NMOS transistor NM3 is greater than the current of high-voltage PMOS transistor PDM4. The gate voltage of NMOS transistor NM4 is pulled down, and the drain voltage of NMOS transistor NM4 is pulled up by PMOS transistor PM2, resulting in output logic 1. NMOS transistor NM1 copies the current of NMOS transistor NM2, the current of PMOS transistor PM1 is equal to the current of NMOS transistor NM1, and PMOS transistor PM2 copies the current of PMOS transistor PM1. Therefore, the current of PMOS transistor PM2 is equal to the current of the high-voltage PMOS transistor PDM3. Similarly, when the input signal V1 is less than the input signal V2, the output logic is 0.
[0039] Inverters INV1 to INV4 are inverters that float between the floating high voltage HVDD and the floating low voltage HVSS. After being driven by four inverters, the voltage of signal A is equal to the floating low voltage HVSS, and the voltage of signal B is equal to the floating high voltage HVDD. At this time, the high voltage PMOS transistor PDM5 is turned on, and HVDD≈V1, thus realizing the high voltage selection function.
[0040] When the input signal V1 is much greater than the input signal V2, the current from the current source I1 flows entirely through the high-voltage PMOS transistor PDM1. Therefore, the drain and source voltages of the high-voltage PMOS transistor PDM1 are close to the high voltage of the input signal V1. The drain voltage of the high-voltage PMOS transistor PDM2 is low, and the gate voltage is high, so the high-voltage PMOS transistor PDM2 will not be damaged.
[0041] Since this circuit generates power for all modules, its operating mode is crucial before current sources I1 and I2 generate bias current. Because there is no bias current at this time, the output of the floating high-voltage comparator circuit cannot be determined, nor can the switching states of high-voltage PMOS transistors PDM5 and PDM6. However, there is a body diode connection between the drain of high-voltage PMOS transistors PDM5 and PDM6 and HVDD. When input signals V1 and V2 are powered on (assuming V1 > V2), the floating high voltage HVDD will rise with the input signal V1, only decreasing by the body diode voltage drop. When the floating high voltage HVDD is established to the point where the subsequent basic module can operate, the bias current is generated, the high-voltage floating comparator circuit can operate normally, and high-voltage PMOS transistor PDM5 turns on, reducing the body diode voltage drop to the voltage drop caused by the power transistor's drive current multiplied by its internal resistance, making HVDD ≈ V1.
[0042] This invention provides a high-voltage power supply selection circuit and its control method. A floating voltage domain is generated by a floating power supply generation circuit, and a floating comparator is designed in this voltage domain to compare the magnitudes of two input voltages and then select the corresponding power transistor, thereby realizing the high-voltage power supply selection circuit.

7. A control method for a high-voltage power supply selection circuit according to any one of claims 1-6, characterized in that... Includes the following steps: PMOS transistors PM3-PM10, high-voltage PMOS transistor PDM7, high-voltage NMOS transistor NDM1, resistor R3, and current source I2 constitute a floating power supply generation circuit. PMOS transistors PM3-PM10 have the same width-to-length ratio. If the magnitude of the current from current source I2 is I, then in, It refers to the electron mobility of a transistor. VTH is the gate oxide capacitance per unit area, and VTH is the threshold voltage. The high-voltage NMOS transistor NDM1, resistor R3, and high-voltage PMOS transistor PDM7 form an enhancement-mode source follower structure, which enhances the current absorption capability of the floating low-voltage HVSS. When the floating low-voltage HVSS node needs to absorb a large current, the gate voltage of the high-voltage NMOS transistor NDM1 rises, turning on the high-voltage NMOS transistor NDM1 to assist the floating low-voltage HVSS node in absorbing current and prevent the floating low-voltage HVSS voltage from being raised. This high-voltage floating comparator circuit consists of NMOS transistors NM1-NM4, PMOS transistors PM1-PM2, and high-voltage PMOS transistors PDM1-PDM4. NMOS transistors NM1-NM4 have the same width-to-length ratio, as do PMOS transistors PM1-PM2 and high-voltage PMOS transistors PDM1-PDM4. Current source I1 provides current bias for high-voltage transistors PDM1 and PDM2. High-voltage PMOS transistors PDM1-PDM4 have the same gate voltage. When the input signal V1 is greater than the input signal V2, the high-voltage PMOS transistor PDM1... As the current of transistor 3 increases, the current of high-voltage PMOS transistor PDM4 decreases, and the current of high-voltage PMOS transistor PDM3 is greater than the current of high-voltage PMOS transistor PDM4. The current of NMOS transistor NM2 is equal to the current of high-voltage PMOS transistor PDM3. NMOS transistor NM3 copies the current of NMOS transistor NM2. Therefore, the current of NMOS transistor NM3 is greater than the current of high-voltage PMOS transistor PDM4. The gate voltage of NMOS transistor NM4 is pulled down, and the drain voltage of NMOS transistor NM4 is pulled up by PMOS transistor PM2, resulting in a logic output of 1. Similarly, when the input signal V1 is less than the input signal V2, the logic output is 0. Inverters INV1 to INV4 are inverters that float between the floating high voltage HVDD and the floating low voltage HVSS. After being driven by four inverters, the voltage of signal A is equal to the floating low voltage HVSS, and the voltage of signal B is equal to the floating high voltage HVDD. At this time, the high voltage PMOS transistor PDM5 is turned on, and HVDD = V1, thus realizing the high voltage selection function. When input signals V1 and V2 are powered on, assuming V1 > V2, the floating high voltage HVDD will rise with the input signal V1, but the voltage drop of the body diode will decrease. When the floating high voltage HVDD is established to the point where the subsequent basic module can work, the bias current is generated, the high voltage floating comparator circuit can work normally, the high voltage PMOS transistor PDM5 turns on, and the voltage drop of the body diode is reduced to the voltage drop of the power transistor's drive current multiplied by the internal resistance, so that HVDD = V1.
