Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of surge protection circuit technology, and in particular to a DC surge protection circuit for use as a front-end surge protection circuit for DC-powered electronic products on aircraft. Background Technology
[0002] A DC surge protector circuit is a protective device used to protect downstream circuits from surge voltage impacts. It protects sensitive components from damage by limiting the surge energy that suddenly appears in the circuit, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the entire system.
[0003] The main DC surge protection solutions currently include: external capacitors, MOSFET soft-start at power-on, and surge protection diodes. While external capacitors can filter out most surges, the charging current at power-on can place an additional burden on the power supply system. MOSFET soft-start effectively limits the surge voltage at startup, and because the soft-start current is small, it has no impact on the preceding or following stages; however, it cannot intercept surges that suddenly occur during normal circuit operation. Surge protection diodes are usually connected in parallel with the power supply equipment. When the surge amplitude exceeds the diode's breakdown voltage, the diode breaks down, and current flows back to ground, thus protecting the equipment. However, diode breakdown is equivalent to a short circuit, resulting in a very large instantaneous current, which can also burden the power supply equipment. Furthermore, none of the above solutions allow for precise adjustment of the surge voltage, so they often cannot provide 100% protection for subsequent circuits.
[0004] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the background section above is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of this utility model, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art known to those skilled in the art.

Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a full understanding of this utility model. However, this utility model can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this utility model. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0025] In this embodiment of the invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected" and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to electrical connection; direct connection; or indirect connection through an intermediate medium; or the internal connection of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this embodiment of the invention according to the specific circumstances.
[0026] This embodiment provides a DC surge protection circuit, which is assembled into modules, and the external interfaces of the modules are as follows: Figure 1 As shown: There are 4 pins in total. Pin 1 is the input terminal ( Figure 3 The left-side VIN terminal, pin 2 is the common terminal ( Figure 3 The left side is the COM terminal, and pin 3 is the output terminal. Figure 3 H2 end on the right side), 4 pins ( Figure 3 The SET terminal in the middle is connected to ground via an external Zener diode to set the surge voltage value, which is approximately 3 times the Zener diode's voltage regulation value.
[0027] like Figure 2 and 3 As shown, a DC surge protection circuit consists of a surge protection setting circuit, a voltage multiplier circuit, and a MOSFET Q1.
[0028] The surge protection circuit mainly consists of resistor R2 and a Zener diode connected to the SET pin.
[0029] The voltage multiplier circuit consists of a timer chip U1, resistors R3 and R4, capacitors C9, C8, C7, C6, C5, C4, C3, C2, and C1, diodes D6, D5, D4, D3, and D2, and a Zener diode D10. The timer chip U1 is model NE555.
[0030] One end of resistor R1 is electrically connected to the drain of MOSFET Q1, and the other end of resistor R1 is electrically connected to the negative terminal of transient voltage suppressor diode D8. The positive terminal of transient voltage suppressor diode D8 is grounded. One end of resistor R2 is connected in the line between resistor R1 and transient voltage suppressor diode D8, and the other end of resistor R2 is electrically connected to the VDD terminal of timer chip U1. The Zener diode connected to the SET pin is connected in the line between resistor R2 and the VDD terminal of timer chip U1. The DISCH terminal of timer chip U1 is electrically connected to resistors R3 and R4. The other end of resistor R3 is connected in the line between resistor R2 and the VDD terminal of timer chip U1. The other end of resistor R4 is electrically connected to one end of capacitor C9, and the other end of capacitor C9 is grounded. The THRES and TRIG terminals of timer chip U1 are both grounded through capacitor C9. The VDD and RESET terminals of timer chip U1 are electrically connected and grounded through capacitor C7. The CONT terminal of timer chip U1 is grounded through capacitor C8. The OUT terminal of the timer chip U1 is connected sequentially to diodes D6, D5, D4, D3, and D2. A capacitor C6 is connected between the input of diode D6 and the output of diode D5; a capacitor C3 is connected between the input of diode D5 and the output of diode D4; a capacitor C5 is connected between the input of diode D4 and the output of diode D3; and a capacitor C2 is connected between the input of diode D3 and the output of diode D2. The output of diode D2 is electrically connected to the gate of MOSFET Q1. The output of diode D6 is grounded through capacitor C4. A Zener diode D10 is connected between the gate and source of MOSFET Q1, and the source of MOSFET Q1 is grounded through capacitor C1.
[0031] The voltage multiplier circuit triples its power supply voltage (VDD terminal) and outputs it to the gate of NMOS transistor Q1. When there is a surge voltage at the input terminal (VIN terminal), since the source voltage of NMOS transistor Q1 cannot be higher than its gate voltage after it is turned on, the power supply voltage of the voltage multiplier circuit, powered by the Zener diode, remains unchanged. Therefore, when the surge voltage is greater than the output voltage of the voltage multiplier circuit, the output voltage of the entire module will not exceed the output voltage of the voltage multiplier circuit, thus achieving surge protection.
[0032] For example, if the power supply voltage is 28V, and the output voltage is required not to exceed 40V when a surge voltage occurs in the power supply system, then simply connect a 13V Zener diode to ground at the SET pin of the circuit module to ensure that the output voltage does not exceed 39V.
[0033] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model in any way. Any person skilled in the art can make many possible variations and modifications to the technical solution of this utility model using the disclosed methods and techniques, or modify it into equivalent embodiments with equivalent changes, without departing from the scope of the technical solution of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made based on the shape, structure, and principle of this utility model without departing from its technical solution should be covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
