Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of integrated circuit design, in particular to a kind of ultra-low power consumption low differential linear voltage stabilizing circuit. BACKGROUND

[0002] As power management chip, low dropout linear regulator (LDO) has the characteristics of low noise, small ripple and small area, and is widely used in the market, and lower power consumption and smaller area are one of the trends of LDO development. The traditional LDO uses resistance feedback, and the required low power consumption leads to a large resistance, so it is difficult to balance between power consumption and area.

[0003] The traditional LDO circuit is composed of an input reference voltage, an operational amplifier, a switching power tube and a feedback series voltage dividing resistor. The reference voltage VREF generated by the bandgap reference source is fed back to the reverse input terminal of the LDO operational amplifier, and the output voltage VOUT of the LDO is fed back to the same input terminal of the operational amplifier after being divided by the voltage dividing resistor. The operational amplifier amplifies the difference between VREF and the feedback voltage VF and outputs it to the gate of the power tube to drive the power tube to adjust the output voltage and obtain a stable output voltage.

[0004] The traditional LDO uses voltage dividing resistors at the output end, which generates current on this branch. When we need low power consumption, we need a large resistance on this branch to achieve the output voltage value. For example, a 20nA resistance consumes 50MΩ resistance to output 1V voltage, which occupies a large area and has a relatively high cost.

[0005] The existing patent technology CN114706441A provides a low-power low-dropout linear regulator, which simultaneously considers the influence of the transient response and output ripple of the low-dropout linear regulator, and improves the transient response and output ripple of the output while reducing the power consumption through the current limiting circuit and the buffer circuit coupled with the output.

[0028] In the embodiment, the bandgap reference circuit comprises a PNP type BJT tube Q1, a first PMOS tube MP1, a second PMOS tube MP2, a third PMOS tube MP3, a fourth PMOS tube MP4, a first NMOS tube MN1, a second NMOS tube MN2, a third NMOS tube MN3, a fourth NMOS tube MN4, a fifth NMOS tube MN5, a sixth NMOS tube MN6 and a seventh NMOS tube MN7.

[0029] The sources of the first PMOS tube, the second PMOS tube, the third PMOS tube and the fourth PMOS tube are connected to a power supply VDD, the drain of the first PMOS tube is connected to the emitter of the PNP type BJT tube, the gate of the first NMOS tube and the gate of the second NMOS tube, the gate of the first PMOS tube and the gate of the second PMOS tube, the drain of the second PMOS tube, the gate of the third PMOS tube, the gate of the fourth PMOS tube and the drain of the first NMOS tube are connected, the source of the first NMOS tube is connected to the drain of the second NMOS tube and the source of the fifth NMOS tube, the source and the drain of the second NMOS tube are connected, the base and the collector of the PNP type BJT tube are grounded, and the source of the third NMOS tube is grounded.

[0031] In the bandgap reference circuit, the positive temperature coefficient voltage formed by the negative temperature coefficient voltage and the two self-bias structures is added in proportion to obtain a temperature-independent voltage VREF, and the circuit principle analysis is as follows: the BJT tube Q1 generates a temperature-negative current, the size of the current is the same as the current flowing through MN1, the gate of MN1 is connected to the gate of MN2 to make MN1 and MN2 in a mirror relationship, MN2 can copy the current size of MN1, MN4 and MN5 form a self-bias structure to generate a temperature-positive voltage at the drain of MN5.

[0032] The emitter voltage of the BJT tube Q1 is the sum of the gate-source voltage of MN3 and the gate-source voltage of MN2, if the width-length ratios of MN2 and MN3 are the same, then The current flowing through MN3 is the sum of the currents flowing through MP4, MP3 and MP2.

MN4 and MN5 form a self-bias structure, MN6 and MN7 form a self-bias structure, the drain of MN5 generates a positive temperature coefficient voltage, and the drain of MN7 generates a positive temperature coefficient voltage. Therefore, the drain of MN2 is the sum of the negative temperature coefficient voltage and the positive temperature coefficient voltage generated by the self-bias structure in proportion. A temperature-independent voltage VREF is obtained at the drain of MN7.

[0037] The reference voltage VREF generated by the bandgap reference circuit is provided to the operational amplifier OPA in the subsequent circuit, and the reference voltage VREF generated by the operational amplifier OPA is provided to MP10. The source of MP6 is connected with VDD, the drain of MN8 is connected with the drain of MP6, and the gate and the drain of MP8 are connected, thereby providing bias voltage for MN10 and MN11; the source of MN8 is connected with the drain of MN9, and the gate and the drain of MN9 are connected, thereby providing bias voltage for MN12 and MN13 and providing bias current for MN14.

[0038] In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 3 The feedback circuit further comprises a plurality of PMOS tubes connected in parallel across the thirteenth PMOS tube in diode connection, for changing the output voltage by changing the number of the parallel PMOS tubes and the voltage division value of each PMOS tube.

[0039] The voltage feedback circuit is composed of MP13, MP14 and MPn. The source of MP13 is connected with the drain of MP12, and the gate and the drain of MP13 are connected in diode connection, and the feedback is provided to the negative input terminal FB of the operational amplifier. The source of MP14 is connected with the drain of MP13, and the gate and the drain of MP14 are connected, and the gate of MP14 is connected with the gate of MP11. MPn is a plurality of MOS tubes in diode connection, and the gate and the source of the last MOS tube are grounded.

[0040] The aforementioned reference voltage VREF is provided to MP10. MP7 to MP11 and MN10 to MN13 form the first stage of the op-amp. MP6, MN8, and MN9 provide bias voltage and current to the op-amp. MP6 and MP7 mirror the current of MP2. MN8 provides bias voltage to the gate voltages of MN10 and MN11. MP10 is connected to VREF. MP11 serves as the feedback input terminal FB. MP10 and MP11 form the input pair of the op-amp. MP12 and MN14 form the second stage of the op-amp. The gate of MP12 serves as the input terminal of the second stage. The gate of MN14 is connected to the gate of MN9. The current is proportional to MP6. The drain of MP12 serves as the output terminal of the op-amp, with an output voltage VOUT. The output terminal of the op-amp is connected to a diode-connected PMOS transistor. The gate of the PMOS transistor is connected from the feedback terminal FB to the input terminal MP11 of the op-amp. The diode connection is equivalent to a resistor, with a value approximately equal to... Therefore, to change the value of this resistor, it is necessary to change the transconductance of the MOSFET. Due to the voltage clamping relationship between the op-amp inputs, the voltage of MP11 is equal to the voltage of MP10. Since MP11 serves as the FB feedback terminal, then... The voltage at the output terminal FB It equals VREF because the MOSFETs connected to each diode have the same width and length, so the output voltage VOUT can be obtained proportionally. According to... Figure 3 Assuming a PMOS transistor with n diodes connected in series below the FB terminal, the voltage can be obtained. As long as the number of MOSFETs below the FB terminal remains constant, the output voltage will not change.

[0041] If you want to change the voltage without changing the number of MOSFETs connected in series below the FB terminal, you need to change the number of MOSFETs on the FB terminal. Since the MOSFETs connected to diodes are used as resistors, PMOS circuits with different numbers of diodes connected in parallel can change their equivalent resistance, and different output voltages VOUT can be obtained in this way.

[0042] This invention replaces the resistive feedback used in traditional LDOs with voltage divider feedback via diode-connected MOSFETs. This structure features ultra-low power consumption and a small area. Furthermore, the output voltage VOUT can be adjusted by changing the number of feedback MOSFETs.

[0043] The foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the application. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the application to the exact construction and operation described. Accordingly, all such variations are intended to be included within the scope of the present application as defined in the claims below and their equivalents.
