[0002] Hall effect sensors are widely used in electric motors, primarily responsible for controlling the commutation process of the coil current and are a key component in motor control circuits. However, Hall effect sensors are also one of the most vulnerable components in motors, especially the MOS switches at the output. Currently, most electric vehicle motor Hall effect circuits use TVS diodes for energy suppression. However, this protection solution often results in higher overall circuit costs. Therefore, we are now designing a low-cost electrostatic surge protection device for Hall effect chips. Utility Model Content

[0013] In order to make the purpose, principle and structure of the present invention more clear, it is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0014] The utility model provides a low-cost Hall chip surge electrostatic protection device, comprising:

[0015] The main purpose of this device is to improve the protection against transient static electricity and surge current. For applications inside a motor, which is subject to various noises, a transient static electricity and surge absorption circuit is required to provide protection for the Hall effect circuit. The premise of transient surge current protection is that the instantaneous high voltage or noise interference exceeds the normal withstand voltage range of the internal NMOS transistor Q1 3. Transient high voltage protection refers to the protection circuit operating when the maximum withstand voltage between the drain and source of the NMOS transistor Q1 3 is exceeded. Figure 1A current-limiting resistor R15 is connected in series between the output terminal and the NMOS transistor Q13, and a TVS diode 10 is connected in parallel. When a large static or surge current enters, the parallel TVS diode 10 first clamps some of the energy. This current then flows through the current-limiting resistor R15, then through the NMOS transistor Q13, and into the current-sensing resistor R26, forming a current loop. Simultaneously, a large voltage is generated across the current-sensing resistor R25, which then flows through the MOS switch gate current-limiting resistor R37 to the gate of the PMOS transistor Q24. At this point, the PMOS transistor Q24 is not turned on. When there is no static or surge current, the chip operates normally, the voltage across the current-sensing resistor R26 is low, and the PMOS transistor Q24 turns on, short-circuiting the current-limiting resistor R15 and saving energy.

[0016] The output of the Hall sensor HALL 1 is connected to the positive input of the operational amplifier U1 2; the output of the operational amplifier U1 2 is connected to the gate of the NMOS transistor Q1 3; the source of the NMOS transistor Q1 3 is connected to ground via the current sensing resistor R2 6; the drain of the NMOS transistor Q1 3 is connected to the source of the PMOS transistor Q2 4 via the current limiting resistor R1 5; the drain of the PMOS transistor Q2 4 is connected to the positive power supply; and the gate of the PMOS transistor Q2 4 is connected to the junction of the source of the NMOS transistor Q1 3 and the current sensing resistor R2 6 via the MOS switch gate current limiting resistor R3 7. The anode of the diode D1 8 is connected to the voltage regulator REG 9, and the cathode is connected to the positive power supply. A bias resistor R4 11 is connected between the positive power supply and the rest of the circuit. A feedback loop is formed between the negative input of the operational amplifier U1 and its output. The connection point between the source of the PMOS transistor Q2 4 and the current limiting resistor R1 5 serves as the output end of the circuit.

[0017] The above description is only a specific implementation method of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with this technical field, within the technical scope disclosed by this utility model, can make equivalent substitutions or changes based on the technical solutions and new concepts of this utility model, which should be covered by the protection scope of this utility model.
