Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of driving voltage technology, and more specifically to a driving voltage generating circuit. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, DC-DC converters are widely used in various fields that require high energy conversion efficiency. Many existing DC-DC converters use NMOS as the power transistor. However, the gate drive voltage of the power NMOS in existing DC-DC converters is inaccurate, and due to its complex structure, it occupies a large chip area.
[0003] The implementation methods of existing technologies are as follows Figure 1 As shown. Figure 1 The circuit includes a loop control circuit (Loop1), a voltage regulator (LDO) (generating approximately 5V), a high-side driver (DRVH), a low-side driver (DRVL), capacitors Cbs and C1, an inductor (L1), feedback resistors (Rf1 and Rf2), and a diode (D1). Typically, the LDO requires a fast dynamic response and a complex structure, occupying a large chip area. Additionally, diode D1 is prone to latch-up due to its forward conduction, necessitating auxiliary circuitry for risk control. Furthermore, the forward conduction voltage of diode D1 varies significantly with the process corner, leading to inaccurate high-level voltage at the PSH.

[0050] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0051] Example 1
[0052] In the existing technology, due to process deviations, the driving voltage varies greatly between chips during mass production. If the driving voltage is too high, the chip will be damaged due to overvoltage. If the driving voltage is too low, the on-resistance of the driven transistor (MNH or MNL) will be too high. If the on-resistance of MNH or MNL is to be kept low when the driving voltage is low, the area of MNH or MNL needs to be increased significantly, which is costly.
[0053] Based on this, the present invention generates an accurate gate drive voltage, i.e., the DRVPS output voltage, which helps to design with a higher drive voltage value while ensuring that the chip is free from overvoltage risk, and can significantly reduce the area of MNH and MNL.
[0054] like Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention discloses a driving voltage generation circuit DRVPS, including: a first NMOS transistor MNH1, a second NMOS transistor MNH2, a third NMOS transistor MNH3, a fourth NMOS transistor MNH4, a current source, a first PMOS transistor MPH1, a second PMOS transistor MPH2, and a first resistor Ra;
[0055] The drains of the second NMOS transistor MNH2 and the third NMOS transistor MNH3, as well as one end of the current source, are all connected to the input voltage source VIN.
[0056] The gate of the second NMOS transistor MNH2 is connected to the gate of the first PMOS transistor MPH1, one end of the first resistor Ra, and the other end of the current source, respectively.
[0057] The source of the second NMOS transistor MNH2 is connected to the source of the first PMOS transistor MPH1, and the first connection node 1 formed by them is connected to the first output node PSL, outputting the low-side drive voltage.
[0058] The gate of the second NMOS transistor MNH1 is connected to the second connection node 2 at the other end of the current source and the gate of the third NMOS transistor MNH3, forming the third connection node 3;
[0059] The third connection node 3 is connected to the gate of the fourth NMOS transistor MNH4;
[0060] The source of the third NMOS transistor MNH3 is connected to the source of the second PMOS transistor MPH2, and the fourth connection node 4 formed is connected to the drain of the fourth NMOS transistor MNH4.
[0061] The source of the fourth NMOS transistor MNH4 is connected to the second output node PSH, and it outputs the high-side drive voltage.
[0062] The gate of the second NMOS transistor MNH2 is connected to the fifth connection node at one end of the first resistor Ra and the gate of the second PMOS transistor MPH2.
[0063] The other end of the first resistor Ra is connected to the gate and drain of the first NMOS transistor MNH1, respectively.
[0064] The drain of the first PMOS transistor MPH1, the source of the first NMOS transistor MNH1, and the drain of the second PMOS transistor MPH2 are all grounded.
[0065] Furthermore, it also includes: a first capacitor Ca;
[0066] The second connecting node 2 and the third connecting node 3 are connected to form the sixth connecting node 6;
[0067] The first capacitor Ca is connected to the sixth connection node 6 and ground respectively, and is used to stabilize the output voltage of the second connection node 2.
[0068] Furthermore, it also includes: a second capacitor Cb;
[0069] The second capacitor Cb is connected to the first output node and ground respectively, and is used to stabilize the low-side drive voltage PSL of the output.
[0070] Furthermore, the current I1 output by the current source is set as follows:
[0071] I1 = VR1 / Rg;
[0072] Where VR1 represents the reference voltage based on the bandgap reference voltage, and Rg represents a resistance value.
[0073] Furthermore, Rg and the first resistor Ra are the same type of resistor, with equal width and proportional length. In the layout design, the current direction of Rg and the first resistor Ra is the same.
[0074] Furthermore, the current I1 output by the current source passes through the first resistor Ra and the first NMOS transistor MNH1 to generate the voltage V of NG1. NG1 :
[0075] V NG1 =I1·Ra+Vth_MNH1;
[0076] Where Ra represents the first resistor and Vth_MNH1 represents the threshold voltage of the first NMOS transistor MNH1.
[0077] Furthermore, the first NMOS transistor MNH1, the second NMOS transistor MNH2, and the third NMOS transistor MNH3 are all device types capable of withstanding the maximum output voltage of the input voltage source. Their channel lengths are equal, their channel widths are proportional, and they are designed to have overlapping geometric centers and consistent current directions in the layout design.
[0078] Furthermore, the first PMOS transistor MPH1 is used to clamp the low-side drive voltage. It is turned on when the low-side drive voltage is higher than the first threshold to prevent the low-side drive voltage from being coupled too high by switching noise.
[0079] The second PMOS transistor MPH2 is used to clamp the fourth node voltage output of the fourth connection node. When the fourth node voltage exceeds the second threshold, it is turned on to discharge the charge.
[0080] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the first threshold is set to V. NG1 +|Vth_MPH1|, where |Vth_MPH1| represents the absolute value of the threshold voltage of the first PMOS transistor MPH1;
[0081] The second threshold is set to V. NG1 +|Vth_MPH2|, where |Vth_MPH2| represents the absolute value of the threshold voltage of the second PMOS transistor MPH2.
[0082] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the first PMOS transistor MPH1 is a low-voltage PMOS transistor with a withstand voltage of 5V, and the second PMOS transistor MPH2 is a PMOS transistor with a withstand voltage greater than 5V. In this embodiment, a 10V PMOS transistor is used.
[0083] Furthermore, the second NMOS transistor MNH2 functions as a voltage follower (with a common-drain connection), ensuring that its source voltage (i.e., the PSL voltage at the first output node) equals V. NG1 Subtracting the threshold voltage of the second NMOS transistor MNH2, since the second NMOS transistor MNH2 and the first NMOS transistor MNH1 are matched, their threshold voltages are equal and can cancel each other out. Therefore, the low-side drive voltage V output by the first output node PSL is... PSL for:
[0084] V PSL =I1·Ra+Vth_MNH1-Vth_MNH2=I1·Ra;
[0085] Where Vth_MNH1 represents the threshold voltage of MNH1, and Vth_MNH2 represents the threshold voltage of MNH2;
[0086] If I1 = VR1 / Rg, then the low-side drive voltage V PSL It is equal to VR1.Ra / Rg. Since the first resistor Ra and Rg are designed to be matched, their resistance ratio is a constant value. Therefore, VR1.Ra / Rg is less than the preset value due to the process angle deviation, and can be used as an accurate value.
[0087] Furthermore, such as Figure 3As shown, a step-down DC-DC converter using the driving voltage generation circuit DRVPS of the present invention is shown. The operating range of the VIN voltage is 7V~50V, and the output voltage OUTD of the DC-DC converter is 0.5V~5V. The specific value can be set by the feedback resistors Rf1 and Rf2.
[0088] The present invention provides a driving voltage generation circuit DRVPS for generating a high-side driving voltage V. PSH Powering the high-side driver DRVH simultaneously generates the low-side drive voltage V. PSL Power the low-side driver DRVL;
[0089] V PSL For any value between 4.5V and 7V, V PSH The voltage relative to SW can be any value between 4.5V and 7V, meaning the voltage of the PSH-SW can be designed to be any value between 4.5V and 7V.
[0090] Voltage divider resistors Rf1 and Rf2 divide OUTD to generate FB1, which is input to the loop controller Loop1. Loop1 compares the FB1 voltage with the built-in reference voltage (e.g., 1V). When the FB1 voltage is lower than the built-in reference voltage, Loop1 adjusts by increasing the duty cycle of DH1 and decreasing the duty cycle of DL1. This increases the on-time of the upper N-channel MOSFET MNH and decreases the on-time of the lower N-channel MOSFET MNL, resulting in a larger duty cycle at the SWD node and a larger OUTD voltage after filtering by L1 and C1. Conversely, when the FB1 voltage is higher than the built-in reference voltage, Loop1 adjusts by decreasing the duty cycle of DH1 and increasing the duty cycle of DL1. This decreases the on-time of MNH and increases the on-time of MNL, resulting in a smaller duty cycle at the SWD node and a smaller OUTD voltage after filtering by L1 and C1. This forms a negative feedback loop. When the negative feedback loop is stable, the FB1 voltage equals the built-in reference voltage, and OUTD is also a stable output voltage.
[0091] Generally, DHI and DLI are inverted signals; that is, when DHI is high, DLI is low, and when DHI is low, DLI is high.
[0092] Furthermore, when the SWD node is pulled low by MNL (approximately equal to ground voltage), the drive voltage generation circuit DRVPS outputs a high-side drive voltage V. PSH The capacitor Cbs is charged until its voltage reaches a preset voltage (5V in this embodiment, but can be between 4.5V and 7V in actual design). When the SWD node is turned on by MNH and pulled high to VIN, the voltage on capacitor Cbs remains constant, and the high-side drive voltage V... PSHThe voltage increases as the SWD node voltage increases, maintaining PSH-SW at 5V.
[0093] Furthermore, when the SWD node is low, the third NMOS transistor MNH3 and the fourth NMOS transistor MNH4 are turned on, which turns on the fourth node voltage V of the fourth connection node SNH3. SNH3 Charge to equal V NG1 -Vth_MNH3, where Vth_MNH3 represents the threshold voltage of MNH3. Since the fourth NMOS transistor MNH4 is turned on as a switch, the high-side drive voltage V is... PSH equals V SNH3 Because of V NG1 =I1·Ra+Vth_MNH1,V SNH3 = I1·Ra + Vth_MNH1 - Vth_MNH3, where MNH1 and MNH3 are designed with matching, so their threshold voltages are equal. The above equation is simplified to I1·Ra, which is the high-side drive voltage V. PSH =I1·Ra, when I1=VR1 / Rg, then substituting into the formula, we get V. PSH VR1·Ra / Rg: Ra and Rg are designed to be matched, and their resistance ratio is a constant value. Therefore, VR1.Ra / Rg can achieve a more accurate value than existing technologies by adjusting the preset value according to the process angle deviation.
[0094] Furthermore, when the SWD node voltage increases (corresponding to...) Figure 2 When MNH is on, since the voltage across capacitor Cbs will not change abruptly, the high-side drive voltage V PSH When the voltage is pulled up, maintaining PSH-SW at a constant value (e.g., 5V), MNH4 is cut off and does not conduct. Due to the presence of the parasitic capacitance Cds (the parasitic capacitance between the drain and source of MNH4), the fourth node voltage V... SNH3 The voltage at the SNH3 node will be highly coupled, therefore MPH2 is needed to clamp the voltage at the SNH3 node to prevent it from becoming too high and damaging MNH3 and MPH2. When the voltage at the fourth node V... SNH3 When the second threshold is exceeded, MPH2 will conduct to discharge the charge.
[0095] Example 2
[0096] Based on the same inventive concept, such as Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment of the invention discloses another driving voltage generation circuit DRVPS, which, based on the driving voltage generation circuit DRVPS in embodiment 1, adds a second resistor Rb.
[0097] The second connecting node 2 and the fifth connecting node 5 are connected to form the seventh connecting node 7;
[0098] The two ends of the second resistor Rb are connected to the seventh connection node 7 and the fifth connection node 5 respectively. The output voltage GPH2 of the fifth connection node 5 is input to the gate of the second PMOS transistor.
[0099] Furthermore, since the output voltage GPH2 is greater than V NG1 The low voltage I1·Rb allows for a reduction in the clamping voltage of the fourth node, SNH3, thus more reliably preventing overvoltage and making the implementation safer. The operating principle of the other parts of the circuit is the same as in Example 1, and will not be repeated here.
[0100] Example 3
[0101] Based on the same inventive concept, such as Figure 5 As shown, this embodiment of the invention also provides another driving voltage generating circuit DRVPS, which, based on the driving voltage generating circuit DRVPS in embodiment 2, adds a first diode D1, a second diode D2, and a third diode D3;
[0102] The third connecting node 3 and the sixth connecting node 6 are connected to form the eighth connecting node 8;
[0103] The fourth connection node 4 is connected to the source of the second PMOS transistor MPH2, forming the ninth connection node 9;
[0104] The eighth connection node 8 is connected to the positive terminal of the first diode D1;
[0105] The negative terminal of the first diode D1 is connected to the positive terminal of the second diode D2;
[0106] The negative terminal of the second diode D2 is connected to the positive terminal of the third diode D3;
[0107] The negative terminal of the third diode D3 is connected to the ninth connection node 9.
[0108] Furthermore, by adding clamping diodes D1, D2, and D3 to the DRVPS circuit disclosed in Embodiment 2, the gate of MNH3 can be effectively protected, preventing damage to MNH3 due to excessively high gate-source voltage. This is because the voltage of SNH3 fluctuates drastically during the switching process of the power transistor in the DC-DC converter (due to the influence of parasitic capacitance). When the gate-source voltage of MNH3 exceeds three times the forward conduction voltage of the diode, voltage clamping will be performed to achieve the protection effect.
[0109] The working principle of the other parts of the circuit is the same as that of Example 1, and will not be repeated here.
