[0031] The comparison voltage module includes a constant voltage power supply 1V8_VCC, a resistor R29, a resistor R159, and a capacitor C27; the first end of the resistor R29 is connected to the constant voltage power supply 1V8_VCC, the second end of the resistor R29 is connected to the first end of the resistor R159, and the second end of the resistor R159 is grounded; the second end of the resistor R159 is connected to the first end of the capacitor C27, and the second end of the capacitor C27 is connected to the second end of the resistor R29.

[0032] The second end of the capacitor C27 is respectively connected to the non-inverting input terminal of the comparator U4B and the inverting input terminal of the comparator U4A.

[0033] The switch circuit module includes a first switch circuit and a second switch circuit. The output terminal of the comparator U4B is connected to the first switch circuit, and the output terminal of the comparator U4A is connected to the second switch circuit.

[0036] Specifically, the operations of the foregoing each module circuit are described as follows:

[0037] Setting of the comparison voltage of the comparison voltage module:

[0038] Vref = 1V8_VCC × R159 / (R159 + R29)

[0039] In this embodiment, Vref is set to 0.9V, that is, both the non-inverting input terminal of the comparator U4B and the inverting input terminal of the comparator U4A are 0.9V.

[0040] Assume that the reasonable range of the system power supply input is (Vin-, Vin+), then by configuring R31 and R28, it is made that:

[0041] (Vin-) × R31 / (R28 + R31) = 0.9

[0042] That is, when it is the lowest value of the reasonable range of the power supply input, the voltage at the inverting input terminal of the comparator U4B is 0.9V. According to the formula, it can be obtained that if the actual input low value is greater than Vin-, the voltage at the inverting input terminal of the comparator U4B must be greater than 0.9V. At this time, the voltage at the non-inverting input terminal of the comparator U4B is less than the voltage at the inverting input terminal. The comparator U4B outputs a low level to the MOS transistor Q4A, and the MOS transistor Q4A is not turned on, outputting a high level, and the high level controls the normal operation of the subsequent circuit; conversely, if the actual input is less than the lowest value Vin- of the reasonable range set by the system, the MOS transistor Q4A is turned on, the output is pulled low, and the subsequent system circuit does not work.

[0043] Then, by configuring R32 and R33, it is made that:

[0044] (Vin+) × R33 / (R32 + R33) = 0.9

[0045] That is, when it is the highest value of the reasonable range of the power supply input, the voltage at the non-inverting input terminal of the comparator U4A is 0.9V; according to the formula, it can be obtained that if the actual input high value is less than Vin+, the voltage at the non-inverting input terminal of the comparator U4A is less than 0.9V. At this time, the voltage at the non-inverting input terminal of the comparator U4B is less than the voltage at the inverting input terminal. The comparator U4A outputs a low level to the MOS transistor Q4B, and the MOS transistor Q4B is not turned on, outputting a high level, and the high level controls the normal operation of the subsequent circuit; conversely, if the actual input is greater than the lowest value Vin+ of the reasonable range set by the system, the MOS transistor Q4B is turned on, the output is pulled low, and the subsequent system circuit does not work.

[0046] Therefore, when the actual power supply input range is within the preset reasonable range (Vin-, Vin+), both the comparator U4B and U4A output low levels. As the control pins of the MOS transistors, the power supply outputs normally; conversely, the comparator U4B and U4A output high levels, the MOS transistors are turned on, the output is pulled low, and the subsequent system circuit does not work.

[0047] The above technical features constitute the best embodiment of the present invention, which has strong adaptability and the best implementation effect. Non-essential technical features can be increased or decreased according to actual needs to meet the needs of different situations.

[0048] Finally, it should be noted that the above content is only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, rather than a limitation on the protection scope of the present invention. Any simple modification or equivalent replacement made by those of ordinary skill in the art to the technical solution of the present invention does not depart from the essence and scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
