Specifically, the VCC terminal of the chip U1 is connected to the COM terminal of the chip U1 through the capacitor C1, the VCC terminal of the chip U1 is also connected to the first power supply, the COM terminal of the chip U1 is also connected to the positive electrode of the diode D2 and grounded, the IN terminal of the chip U1 is connected to the control device through the resistor R1, the FLT terminal of the chip U1 is connected to the control device through the resistor R2, the FIT terminal of the chip U1 is also grounded through the capacitor C2, the VB terminal of the chip U1 is connected to the VS terminal of the chip U1 through the capacitor C3, the VS terminal of the chip U1 is also connected to the negative electrode of the diode D2 and the first end of the resistor R7, the second end of the resistor R7 is connected to the third end of the switch tube Q1, the HO terminal of the chip U1 is connected to the voltage divider unit 20 and the current limiting unit 40, and the CS terminal of the chip U1 is connected to the acquisition unit 30.

[0034] In some embodiments, the chip U1 may be a chip of model TR21276 or other types of chips. The first power supply and the second power supply may be set according to actual needs and are not specifically limited here.

[0035] In some embodiments, the voltage dividing unit 20 includes a resistor R3, a resistor R4, and a diode D1. Specifically, the first end of the resistor R3 is connected to the driving unit 10, the second end of the resistor R3 is connected to the first end of the resistor R4 and the acquisition unit 30, the second end of the resistor R4 is connected to the positive electrode of the diode D1, and the negative electrode of the diode D1 is connected to the second end of the switch tube Q1.

[0036] In some embodiments, the current limiting unit 40 includes a resistor R6 and a capacitor C5. Specifically, a first end of the resistor R6 is connected to the driving unit 10, a second end of the resistor R6 is connected to a first end of the capacitor C5 and a control end of the switch tube Q1, and a second end of the capacitor C5 is connected to a third end of the switch tube Q1 and is grounded.

[0037] In some embodiments, the acquisition unit 30 includes a resistor R5 and a capacitor C4. Specifically, the first end of the resistor R5 is connected to the voltage divider 20, the second end of the resistor R5 is connected to the first end of the capacitor C4 and the drive unit 10, and the second end of the capacitor C4 is connected to the drive unit 10.

[0038] In order to more clearly illustrate the technical solution in the embodiment of the present invention, the following will be combined with the attached Figure 2 Make an introduction. Figure 2The chip used is TR21276, which is used to drive the switch tube Q1, and can be used for overcurrent protection by means of the tube voltage drop and related circuits when the switch tube Q1 is overcurrent. Among them, the VCC end of the chip U1 is the chip power supply end, the COM end of the chip U1 is the ground end, the IN end of the chip U1 is the PWM input end, the FLT end of the chip U1 is the overcurrent alarm end, the HO end of the chip U1 is the output end, the CS end of the chip U1 is the overcurrent detection end, the VB end of the chip U1 is the input end of the driving floating power supply, and the VS end of the chip U1 is the ground end of the driving floating power supply. Generally, a bootstrap capacitor C3 is connected between the VB end of the chip U1 and the VS end of the chip U1.

[0039] In practical applications, it is assumed that the current protection value of the designed overcurrent protection circuit is Iocp, and then the on-resistance Ron or on-voltage Vds of the drain-source when overcurrent is determined by consulting the data sheet of the switch tube Q1. The essence is to know the on-voltage Vds when overcurrent occurs. If only the on-resistance Ron is known, it can be multiplied by the current protection value Iocp. It is known that the input voltage of the VB terminal of the chip U1 is VB, then the typical output value of the voltage at the HO terminal of the chip U1 is Vho=VB-0.05. It is known that the on-voltage of the diode D1 is Vd, and the sum of the voltages of the resistors R3 and R4 can be determined by Vho-Vd-Vds. Suppose the current flowing through the two resistors at this time is Ir, and then by:

[0040] Vho-Vd-Vds=Ir(R3+R4) Formula 1

[0041] Ir*R4+Vd+Vds=CSV Formula 2

[0042] Wherein, R3 in Formula 1 is Figure 2 The resistance of resistors R3 and R4 is Figure 2 The resistance value of the resistor R4 is Figure 2 The resistance value of the resistor R4 in the middle, the CSV in formula 2 is the trigger voltage of the CS terminal of the chip U1, for example, the CSV of TR21276 is usually 1.8V.

[0043] By using the above formula, the appropriate resistance values ​​of the resistor R3 and the resistor R4 can be determined during the research and development stage.

[0044] In this embodiment, when the switch tube Q1 is overcurrent, the voltage at the CS terminal of the chip U1 will detect a voltage higher than the trigger voltage of the CS terminal, and then immediately cut off the output of the HO terminal of the chip U1 and transmit a fault signal to the control device (such as MCU) through the FIT terminal until the next time the control device has input and the voltage at the CS terminal is lower than the trigger voltage of the CS terminal to return to normal.

[0045] The embodiment of the present application provides an overcurrent protection circuit 100, which includes a driving unit 10, a voltage dividing unit 20, a current limiting unit 40 and a collection unit 30. When the switch tube Q1 is turned on, the voltage dividing unit 20 divides the voltage at the second end of the switch tube Q1 to output the divided current to the collection unit 30; when the collection unit 30 receives the divided current, it converts the divided current into a collection current and outputs the collection current to the driving unit 10; when the collection current is greater than the first preset current, the driving unit 10 outputs a first control signal to the control end of the switch tube Q1 to turn off the switch tube Q1. When the current of the switch tube Q1 is too large, the switch tube Q1 can be controlled to be turned off to protect the circuit structure. The embodiment of the present application can realize overcurrent protection without a current sensor, improve the accuracy of overcurrent protection, shorten the response time, and reduce the area occupied by the protection circuit.
