[0040] As Figures 1 to 4 shown, the present invention provides an embodiment of a dual-port USB charging circuit. The dual-port USB charging circuit in this embodiment includes: a charging chip U1, a power supply circuit for filtering and regulating the voltage input by VCC and outputting a stable voltage to supply power to the charging chip U1, a protection circuit electrically connected to the input end of the power supply circuit, a voltage adjustment circuit electrically connected between the LX pin and the VOUT pin of the charging chip U1 to step down and filter the voltage passing through the charging chip, a first voltage output circuit for filtering and suppressing the voltage output by the charging chip U1 and then outputting it to the USB-A terminal, and a second voltage output circuit for filtering and suppressing the voltage output by the charging chip and then outputting it to the USB-C terminal; wherein, the USB-A terminal and the USB-C terminal are respectively electrically connected to the charging chip and communicate with the charging chip through a communication protocol.

[0041] As Figure 2 shown, the power supply circuit includes an electrolytic capacitor C11, a first capacitor C1, a second capacitor C2, and a first transient suppression diode DR1;

[0042] The electrolytic capacitor C11, the first capacitor C1, the second capacitor C2, and the first transient suppression diode DR1 are connected in parallel with each other in sequence to form a filtering and voltage stabilizing circuit. The electrical signal input end of the filtering and voltage stabilizing circuit inputs VCC, and the electrical signal output end of the filtering and voltage stabilizing circuit is connected to the power supply end of the charging chip U1. The negative electrode of the electrolytic capacitor C11, one end of the first capacitor C1, one end of the second capacitor C2, and the positive electrode of the first transient suppression diode DR1 are connected to PGND.

[0043] As Figure 3 shown, the protection circuit includes an insurance module F1, a second resistor R2, a first zener diode D1, a third resistor R3, a second zener diode D2, a fourth resistor R4, a third zener diode D3, a first MOS transistor Q1, a second MOS transistor Q2, and a triode Q3. Among them, the reverse breakdown voltages of the first zener diode D1 and the third zener diode D3 are the same and less than the input voltage of VCC, and the reverse breakdown voltage of the second zener diode D2 is higher than the input voltage of VCC.

[0044] The insurance module inputs the VCC voltage at its input end, and its output end is connected to one end of the second resistor R2 and one end of the third resistor R3. The other end of the second resistor R2 is connected to the negative electrode of the first zener diode D1, and the positive electrode of the first zener diode D1 is connected to one end of the fourth resistor R4, the negative electrode of the third zener diode D3, the collector of the triode Q3, the gate of the first MOS transistor Q1, and the gate of the second MOS transistor Q2. The source of the first MOS transistor Q1, the source of the second MOS transistor Q2, the other end of the fourth resistor R1, and the positive electrode of the third zener diode D1 are connected; the drain of the first MOS transistor Q1 is connected to SGND, and the drain of the second MOS transistor Q2 is connected to PGND; the other end of the third resistor R3 is connected to the negative electrode of the second zener diode D2, and the positive electrode of the second zener diode D2 is connected to the base of the triode Q3 and one end of the fifth resistor R5.

[0045] In this embodiment, the VCC inputs a 12V DC voltage. The reverse breakdown voltages of the first voltage-regulating diode D1 and the third voltage-regulating diode D3 are 6.8V, and the reverse breakdown voltage of the second voltage-regulating diode D2 is 22V. When the VCC inputs a normal voltage of 12V, after passing through the fuse module F1, one path of the 12V voltage leads to the electrical signal input end of the filter voltage-regulating circuit of the power supply circuit. After being filtered by the electrolytic capacitor C11, the first capacitor C1, the second capacitor C2, and the first transient suppression diode DR1 and preventing surges, it reaches the chip power supply end; the other path of the 12V voltage passes through the second resistor R2 of the protection circuit. The 12V voltage passing through the second resistor R2 then reaches the first voltage-regulating diode D1. At this time, the second voltage-regulating diode D2 conducts, and after passing through the fourth resistor R4 and the third voltage-regulating diode D3, it reaches the gates of the first MOS transistor Q1 and the second MOS transistor Q2, enabling the two first MOS transistors Q1 and the second MOS transistor Q2 to work. The first MOS transistor Q1 and the second MOS transistor Q2 conduct at this time, connecting SGND and PGND; at the same time, the 12V voltage passes through the third resistor R3 and then reaches the second voltage-regulating diode D2. At this time, the second voltage-regulating diode D2 does not work, and the voltage cannot reach the subsequent circuit. The voltage and current do not reach the triode Q3, the fifth resistor R5, and the fifth diode D5. This protection circuit can effectively prevent overvoltage, undervoltage, and reverse connection.

[0046] The voltage passing through the charging chip U1 needs to be output through its LX pin and stepped down and filtered by the voltage adjustment circuit. As Figure 4 shown, the voltage adjustment circuit includes a first inductor L1; a series-connected first resistor R1 and fifth capacitor C5; and a sixth capacitor C6, a seventh capacitor C7, and an eighth capacitor C8 connected in parallel with each other. The voltage passing through the charging chip U1 reaches the first inductor L1 through the LX pin of the charging chip U1. At the same time, the voltage flows through the first resistor R1 and the fifth capacitor C5. Here, the first resistor R1 and the fifth capacitor C5 together form an absorption of the voltage spike at the LX pin of the charging chip U1. The voltage flowing through the first inductor L1 is filtered by the sixth capacitor C6, the seventh capacitor C7, and the eighth capacitor C8 and then reaches the VOUT pin of the charging chip U1. Then, as Figure 1 shown, the voltage output through the first voltage output terminal VOUT1 (pins 24 and 25) of the charging chip is output to the first voltage output circuit, and at the same time, it is also output to the second voltage output circuit through the second voltage output terminal VOUT2 (pins 26 and 27) of the charging chip.

One end of the ninth capacitor C9, one end of the tenth capacitor C10, and the positive electrode of the third transient suppression diode DR3 are grounded. The voltage output by the charging chip U1 is filtered by the ninth capacitor C9 and the tenth capacitor C10, and then input to pin 1 (VOUT1 pin) of the USB-A terminal through the third transient suppression diode DR3. Among them, pin 2 of the USB-A terminal is connected to the DM1 pin of the charging chip U1, pin 3 of the USB-A terminal is connected to the DP1 pin of the charging chip U1, and pin 4 of the USB-A terminal is connected to PGND. Except for the power supply pin and the ground, the other pins of the USB-A terminal are signal pins, which communicate with the charging chip for relevant fast charging protocols.

[0048] As Figure 1 shown in the figure, the second voltage output circuit includes the third capacitor C3, the fourth capacitor C4, and the second transient suppression diode DR2. The second voltage output terminal VOUT2 of the charging chip U1 is connected to one end of the third capacitor C3, one end of the fourth capacitor C4, and the negative electrode of the second transient suppression diode DR2. The other end of the third capacitor C3, the other end of the fourth capacitor C4, and the positive electrode of the second transient suppression diode DR2 are connected to PGND; the voltage output by the charging chip U1 is filtered by the third capacitor C3 and the fourth capacitor C4, and then input to the VBUS pin of the USB-C terminal through the second transient suppression diode DR2. The CC1 pin of the USB-C terminal is connected to the CCB1 pin of the charging chip U1, the DP1 pin and DP2 pin of the USB-C terminal are connected to the DP2 pin of the charging chip U1, the DN1 pin and DN2 pin of the USB-C terminal are connected to the DM2 pin of the charging chip U1, and the CC2 pin of the USB-C terminal is connected to the CCB2 pin of the charging chip U1. Except for the power supply pin and the ground, the other pins of the USB-C terminal are signal pins, which communicate with the charging chip for relevant fast charging protocols.
