In the on-stage of the hot-swap protection circuit, when it is detected that the input current of the input interface VIN is greater than or equal to the threshold current, the third end of the controller drives the first switch 1 to be turned on through the driving module 21. In the off-stage of the hot-swap protection circuit, the fourth port TGDN of the controller U1 provides a first voltage to the first end of the first switch 1. At this time, the voltage value of the first end of the first switch 1 is the same as that of the third end, that is, there is no potential difference between the gate and the source of the MOS tube Q1, and the MOS tube Q1 is disconnected, that is, the first switch 1 is disconnected.

[0070] In one embodiment, the controller may be a high-voltage switch chip, the model of which may be LTC7000EMSE-1#TRPBF. The high-voltage switch chip may withstand a voltage of 3.5V-135V. The above-mentioned embodiment of the present application may realize a high-voltage hot-swap protection function.

[0071] In one embodiment, if Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, Figure 4 A fourth structural diagram of a hot-swap protection circuit provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. Figure 5 The fifth structural diagram of a hot-swap protection circuit provided in an embodiment of the present application, the hot-swap protection circuit may further include a reset module 4, the input end of the reset module 4 is connected to the seventh port FAULT of the controller U1, and the output end of the reset module 4 is connected to the eighth port INP of the controller U1.

[0072] In the disconnection stage of the hot-swap protection circuit, the control module 2 controls the first switch 1 to be temporarily disconnected, and when the eighth port INP of the controller U1 suddenly changes from a low level to a high level, the controller U1 restarts.

[0073] Specifically, the ninth port VCC of the controller U1 is connected to the first power supply VCC1, and the first power supply VCC1 provides a regulated power supply for the controller U1. The eighth port INP of the controller U1 is connected to the first power supply VCC1. In the conduction phase of the hot-swap protection circuit, when it is detected that the input current of the input interface VIN is greater than or equal to the threshold current, the seventh port FAULT of the controller U1 is configured as an open drain output (OpenDrain) mode, and at this time, a high level is provided for the seventh port FAULT of the controller through the first power supply VCC1.

Among them, the seventh port FAULT of the controller U1 is also connected to the seventh resistor R7, one end of the seventh resistor R7 is connected to the seventh port FAULT of the controller U1, and the other end of the seventh resistor R7 is connected to the first power supply VCC1. The seventh resistor R7 is a pull-up resistor. In the open drain output mode, the seventh port FAULT of the controller U1 is raised to a high level through the pull-up resistor. Among them, the resistance value of the seventh resistor R7 can be 510kΩ.

[0074] In one embodiment, the reset module 4 includes a first delay module 41, a second switch 42, and a second delay module 43. The first delay module 41 is connected to the seventh port FAULT of the controller U1, the second switch 42 is connected to the first delay module 41, and the second delay module 43 is connected to the second switch 42 to form a third connection point C. The output end of the second delay module 43 is connected to the eighth port INP of the controller U1.

[0075] Among them, in the disconnection stage of the hot plug protection circuit, the control module 2 controls the first switch 1 to be temporarily disconnected, and the seventh port FAULT of the controller U1 outputs a high level signal, controls the second switch 42 to be turned on, so that the third connection point C outputs a low level, and at the same time the output end of the second delay module 43 is a low level. Under the action of the first power supply VCC1, the eighth port INP of the controller U1 returns to a high level after the second time to restart the controller U1.

[0076] Specifically, the first delay module 41 includes an eighth resistor R8 and a fourth capacitor C4, a first end of the eighth resistor R8 is connected to the seventh port FAULT of the controller U1, a second end of the eighth resistor R8 is connected to the first end of the fourth capacitor C4, and the other end of the fourth capacitor C4 is grounded. The resistance value of the eighth resistor R8 can be 200 kΩ, and the capacitance value of the fourth capacitor C4 can be 1 uF.

[0077] The second switch 42 includes a MOS transistor Q2 and a ninth resistor R9, wherein the gate of the MOS transistor Q2 is connected to the common end of the eighth resistor R8 and the fourth capacitor C4, the source of the MOS transistor Q2 is grounded, the drain of the MOS transistor Q2 is connected to the third connection point C, and a ninth resistor R9 is further connected between the gate and the source of the MOS transistor Q2. When the MOS transistor Q2 is turned on, the ninth resistor R9 is used to stabilize the voltage between the gate and the source of the MOS transistor Q2. The resistance value of the ninth resistor R9 may be 510 kΩ.

[0078] The second delay module 43 includes a tenth resistor R10, an eleventh resistor R11, a twelfth resistor R12, a thirteenth resistor R13 and an eighth capacitor C8.

Among them, the resistance values ​​of the tenth resistor R10 and the twelfth resistor R12 can be 510kΩ, and the resistance values ​​of the eleventh resistor R11 and the thirteenth resistor R13 can be 200kΩ.

[0079] In the disconnection stage of the hot-swap protection circuit, when the seventh port FAULT of the controller U1 outputs a high-level signal, the MOS tube Q2 is turned on under the delay effect of the first delay module 41. Since the source of the MOS tube Q2 is grounded, after the MOS tube Q2 is turned on, the gate voltage of the MOS tube Q2 is also 0, that is, the voltage VRST of the third connection point is 0. Since the voltage across the capacitor cannot change suddenly, the voltage VINP of the second end of the fifth capacitor C5 is also 0 at this time, that is, the eighth port INP of the controller U1 outputs a low level for a period of time after the MOS tube Q2 is turned on. The first power supply VCC1 will charge the fifth capacitor C5 later. Under the action of the first power supply VCC1, after the second time, the second end of the fifth capacitor C5 will become a high level, that is, the eighth port INP of the controller U1 will become a high level. When the eighth port INP of the controller U1 changes suddenly from a low level to a high level, the controller U1 restarts. Among them, the restart time of the controller U1 can be adjusted by controlling the capacitance value of the fifth capacitor C5, that is, adjusting the second time to reduce the stress of the MOS tube Q1.

[0080] In one embodiment, the hot-swap protection circuit may further include an energy storage module 5 , one end of the energy storage module 5 is connected to the output interface VOUT, and the other end of the energy storage module 5 is grounded.

[0081] In one embodiment, the energy storage module 5 may include a plurality of energy storage capacitors connected in parallel, for example, a sixth capacitor C6, a seventh capacitor C7 and an eighth capacitor C8 connected in parallel between the output interface VOUT and the ground terminal. The energy storage module 5 may provide electrical energy to a load connected to the output interface VOUT temporarily when the first switch 1 is disconnected during the restart phase of the controller U1. The capacitance values ​​of the sixth capacitor C6, the seventh capacitor C7 and the eighth capacitor C8 may be 100uF.

[0082] The embodiment of the present application sets a reset module 4 to restart the controller, and does not require an external control chip to provide a reset signal to the controller, and can achieve automatic restart. In addition, the controller automatically restarts after the first hot plug protection is implemented, and can achieve subsequent short circuit protection functions.

[0083] The following is a brief introduction to the working process of the hot swap protection circuit provided by this application:

[0084] During the hot-swap protection phase:

[0085] When the input interface VIN is connected to the power supply, a surge current (for example, 100V, 10A) will be generated. At this time, the controller U1 collects the current I1 input by the input interface VIN through the sampling module 3, and compares it through the comparator inside the controller U1 to determine that the input current I1 is greater than the threshold current. At this time, the controller U1 controls the first switch 1 to be turned on after the first time, that is, after the surge current disappears, the first switch 1 is turned on when the input current is stable.

[0086] When it is determined that the input current I1 is greater than the threshold current, the controller U1 is restarted through the seventh port FAULT of the controller U1, the reset module 4, and the eighth port INP of the controller U1. During the process of restarting the controller U1, the first switch 1 is disconnected, and the energy storage module 5 briefly provides power to the load connected to the output interface VOUT.

[0087] In the short circuit protection stage, Figure 6 One of the timing diagrams of the hot-swap protection circuit provided in the embodiment of the present application, Figure 7 The second timing diagram of the hot-swap protection circuit provided in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: Figure 6 Shown with Figure 7As shown, the voltage input to the input port VIN between 0S and 0.6S is a normal value (normal value means that the load can work normally under this voltage and will not be damaged). Correspondingly, the voltage output by the output interface VOUT between 0S and 0.6S is also a normal value (V[OUT]=VIN). A short circuit occurs at 0.6S, and the short-circuit voltage V[short] at this time is very large. The controller U1 collects the current I2 input to the input interface VIN through the sampling module 3, and compares it through the comparator inside the controller U1 to determine that the input current I2 is greater than the threshold current. At this time, the voltage V[fault] of the seventh port FAULT of the controller U1 changes from a low level to a high level. After the second switch 42 is turned on, the voltage V[inp] of the eighth port INP of the controller U1 changes from a high level to a low level, and the first power supply VCC1 charges the eighth capacitor C8. After the second time, V[inp] changes from a low level to a high level, and the controller U1 is restarted, and the first switch 1 is turned on again.
