Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a charge pump circuit, and more particularly to a fast-start and adaptive load-carrying charge pump circuit, belonging to the field of semiconductor integrated circuit technology. Background Technology

[0002] A charge pump, also known as a switched capacitor voltage converter, is a DC-DC converter that uses a pumping capacitor as an energy storage device and controls the charging and discharging of the capacitor through a clock to achieve the required output voltage. Due to its inductance-free nature, ease of integration, and low electromagnetic interference, it is widely used in the power management systems of various driver chips.

[0003] Traditional charge pump circuits are extensions of the Dickson structure. Their basic principle is to use diodes or diode-connected MOSFETs to restrict the unidirectional flow of charge, utilizing the energy storage of the charge to raise or lower the reference voltage, thereby outputting the desired voltage. However, this type of charge pump has weak driving capability, a large pumping capacitor area, high implementation cost, and the charge pumping process suffers from voltage loss due to the threshold voltage of diodes.

[0004] For example, Chinese Patent Publication No. CN111371313A discloses a high-voltage charge pump circuit that designs a novel boost unit. It utilizes the voltage isolation characteristics of the isolated low-voltage PMOS device to reduce charge loss during the voltage boosting process, thereby indirectly reducing the number of stages required for series connection and effectively reducing the circuit area. However, this type of boost charge pump still belongs to the Dickson structure topology and cannot avoid the transmission voltage loss due to the threshold voltage of the diode-connected MOS transistor.

[0005] The high-voltage charge pump and its soft-start method disclosed in Chinese Patent Publication No. CN114977786A adopts a dual-channel cross-coupled charge pump structure, which completely eliminates the voltage loss caused by the threshold of the MOS transistor, and its flexible and configurable start-up time is sufficient to meet the application fields such as EEPROM. However, its fastest start-up speed is at the 100μs level, which cannot meet the needs of some application scenarios that require high voltage and rapid establishment.

[0006] The PMOS positive high voltage charge pump disclosed in Chinese Patent Publication No. CN102751867A uses a gate control auxiliary branch to reduce backflow current, improve the charge conduction capability of the MOS tube, thereby increasing the overall voltage rise slope and reducing the output voltage settling time. However, the charge pump with this structure has a relatively weak load-carrying capacity.

[0007] Therefore, it can be seen that the existing technology has not been able to achieve the advantages of fast start-up speed, strong driving capability and low implementation cost in charge pump circuit. Summary of the Invention

[0028] NMOS transistors M2 and M3 provide bias as current sources. LDNMOS high-voltage transistors D0 and D1 withstand high voltage to prevent damage to the low-voltage transistors. The diode-connected PMOS transistor M1 generates a voltage bias VBP_H, which is output to the charge pump to establish an indicator circuit. Capacitors C0 and C1 act as voltage regulators, coupling the charge pump output CP_OUT and the high-voltage power supply VCC, respectively. LDPMOS high-voltage transistors D2 and D3, along with Zener diode Z0, constitute a current comparator. If the comparator input satisfies the following conditions:

[0029] Among them, V ZIf the voltage is the breakdown voltage of the Zener diode, then the gate-source voltage of the LDPMOS high-voltage diode D3 is greater than that of the LDPMOS high-voltage diode D2. Considering that the NMOS diodes M3 and M5 have the same dimensions, the pull-up capability of the LDPMOS high-voltage diode D3 is stronger than that of the NMOS diode M5. According to Kirchhoff's laws, the current equation at node A is:

[0030] Among them, I D3 I represents the current flowing through the LDNMOS high-voltage transistor D3. D4 I represents the current flowing through the LDNMOS high-voltage transistor D3. M3 I represents the current flowing through NMOS transistor M3. M4 This represents the current flowing through NMOS transistor M4. NMOS transistor M3 is an inverting ratio transistor, only turning on when the pull-up capability of the high-voltage LDPMOS transistor D3 is much stronger than the pull-down capability of NMOS transistor M5. This clamps the voltage at node A, preventing the low-voltage transistor M5 from being damaged by the high voltage, and also enhancing the system's transient response. Therefore, I... M4 This can be ignored; in this case, the current equation at node A can be rewritten as:

[0031] For a fixed current source I M5 I D4 The pull-up capability of LDNMOS high-voltage transistor D3 will decrease as its current pull-up capability increases. LDNMOS high-voltage transistors D4 and D5 also serve to withstand high voltage. Capacitor C2 feeds forward the disturbance of charge pump CP_OUT to the first PMOS current mirror, which plays a role in loop compensation and ensures stable system operation. The first PMOS current mirror and the second PMOS current mirror jointly output current bias IB_OSC to the clock generation module.

[0035] Assuming that after the initial transient, the cross-coupled charge pump reaches a steady state: in the first half of the cycle, , Because the voltage difference across a capacitor cannot change abruptly, the voltage across the lower plate of capacitors C3, C5, and C7 is raised. At this time, NMOS transistors M39, M42, M43, M46, M47, and M50 are turned off, while NMOS transistors M41, M40, M45, M44, M49, and M48 are turned on.

[0037] PMOS transistors M1, M51, and M52 form the third PMOS current mirror. NMOS transistors M55 and M56 form the second NMOS current mirror.

[0038] PMOS transistor M51, along with PMOS transistors M52, M53, M54, and NMOS transistors M55 and M56, form a voltage comparator. PMOS transistor M51 is twice the size of PMOS transistor M52, while NMOS transistors M55 and M56 are the same size. When the charge pump enable signal goes high, the charge pump begins to build up, and the charge pump output CP_OUT continuously increases. When the charge pump output CP_OUT is raised to:

[0039] in, It is the drain-source voltage of PMOS transistor M51. It is the gate-source voltage of the PMOS transistor M53. It is the gate-source voltage of the PMOS transistor M54. This is the gate-source voltage of NMOS transistor M55. At this time, NMOS transistors M55 and M56 are turned on. Since the pull-down capability of NMOS transistor M56 is stronger than the pull-up capability of PMOS transistor M52, node B is pulled low to VCC. Resistor R0 and capacitor C9 form a first-order filter to avoid glitches. The low level VCC is output to the gate of LDPMOS high-voltage transistor D6 through Schmitt trigger Y8 and inverter Y9. Its inverted signal is output to the high level CP_OUT of LDPMOS high-voltage transistor D7 through inverter Y10. Since the sources of LDPMOS high-voltage transistors D6 and D7 are both connected to the high-voltage power supply CP_OUT, LDPMOS high-voltage transistor D6 is turned on, while LDPMOS high-voltage transistor D7 is turned off. Node C is pulled high, NMOS transistor M58 is turned on, node D is pulled low, NMOS transistor M61 is turned on, NMOS transistor M62 is turned off, node E is pulled low to GND, PMOS transistor M60 is turned on, and node F... Pulled up to VDD, the cross-coupled pairs consisting of NMOS transistors M57 and M58 and PMOS transistors M59 and M60 are used to accelerate node establishment through their positive feedback. The high level VDD of node F is passed through Schmitt trigger Y11 and inverter Y12, which makes the charge pump establishment indicator signal CP_OK go high, indicating that the charge pump establishment is complete.

[0040] The overall working principle of the fast-start and adaptive load-carrying charge pump circuit of the present invention is as follows: When the enable EN is low, the charge pump circuit is off; when the enable EN is high, the charge pump operates normally. The pumping capacitor of the cross-coupled charge pump circuit, in conjunction with the clock signal, raises the charge pump output voltage CP_OUT. Ignoring charge loss, based on the above analysis, CP_OUT should eventually stabilize at 4VCC-3HGND. However, the system uses a Zener transistor Z0 to clamp the maximum value of CP_OUT, causing it to be raised to a maximum of VCC+V. Z The target voltage is achieved by connecting multiple charge pumps in series, which lowers the voltage required at the nodes between each stage and increases the setup speed, thereby improving the start-up speed of the charge pump and enabling rapid output of the desired high voltage.

[0041] Furthermore, its adaptive load function is achieved by dynamically changing the current flowing through the LDPMOS high-voltage transistor D3 according to the load: Since the current provided by the NMOS transistor M5 is fixed, when the load increases, CP_OUT is pulled low, and the source of the LDPMOS high-voltage transistor D3 also decreases, reducing the current flowing through D3. This increases the bias current IB_OSC flowing into the oscillator, speeding up the output clock signal frequency and replenishing the charge lost due to the increased load. CP_OUT then rises back to the target value. Conversely, when the load decreases, CP_OUT is charged high, and the source of the LDPMOS high-voltage transistor D3 also rises, increasing the current flowing through D3. This reduces the bias current IB_OSC flowing into the oscillator, slowing down the output clock signal frequency. Its charging capacity is insufficient to replenish the charge lost due to the load. CP_OUT decreases back to the target value. When the load is zero, since NMOS transistors M3 and M5 are the same size, the current flowing through LDPMOS high-voltage transistor D3 is the same as the current flowing through NMOS transistor M5. Therefore, the oscillator bias current IB_OSC only contains a small current source composed of PMOS transistors M14, M15, M16, M17, and M18. This current is the minimum bias current required by the clock generation circuit to maintain the normal operation of the charge pump establishment indicator circuit and to reduce power consumption during pumping. In this way, no matter how the load changes, the system can adaptively output a stable target high voltage. Moreover, due to its adaptive load characteristics, for the same area of ​​pumping capacitor, the load-carrying capacity of the charge pump proposed in this invention is much stronger than that of the traditional charge pump.

[0042] As the output voltage CP_OUT of the charge pump is gradually raised to the target voltage, the charge pump setup is complete when the setup indicator signal CP_OK goes high.

[0043] This invention provides a fast-start and adaptive charge pump circuit. It employs a cross-coupled charge pump structure, completely eliminating the transmission voltage loss caused by the threshold voltage of the diode-connected MOSFET. The invention utilizes a multi-stage series cross-coupled charge pump structure, outputting a voltage with a series stage number far exceeding the target voltage. The target high voltage is obtained through Zener diode clamping, significantly improving the charge pump's startup speed and enabling extremely fast high voltage output. The entire process takes less than 10µs, which is tens of times faster than the setup time of traditional charge pumps. Furthermore, the invention uses a clock whose frequency adapts to load feedback. Increasing the clock frequency enhances the driving capability, meeting the needs of heavy-load scenarios. Compared to traditional charge pumps, it can increase the load-carrying capacity several times over for the same pumping capacitor area.
