Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of wake -up circuit, especially in kind of vehicle RTC wake -up circuit, power management system and electric automobile. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the wide application of battery management system (BMS) in various battery driven devices, BMS as a key control and management unit plays a vital role. The control board of BMS generally has two working states, namely sleep state and normal state. In the sleep state, in order to prolong the service life of the battery, BMS will reduce the power consumption and stop most functions, only some key modules (such as real-time clock (RTC)) continue to work. When BMS transits from sleep state to normal working state, an external wake-up signal is usually needed to activate the system to enter normal mode.

[0003] In the BMS system, RTC (Real-Time Clock) chip as a very important time reference element, its main role is to provide stable clock signal, ensure that the system can accurately record time, control sleep wake-up cycle and other functions. RTC chip usually works in low power consumption mode, so it often needs separate power supply, and the always-on power supply (i.e. the power supply that can continue to provide power when BMS enters sleep mode) is the main power supply for RTC work.

[0004] At present, the always-on power supply widely used in the market is mostly designed through low power consumption circuit, so as to provide power for RTC chip with extremely low power consumption when BMS system is in sleep state. These power supply schemes adopt battery direct current output or low voltage linear regulator to supply power for RTC chip. However, the traditional voltage stabilizing power supply design cannot maintain stable output under low load, resulting in voltage fluctuation, which cannot provide sufficient and stable working voltage for RTC chip. More seriously, such voltage instability may cause RTC chip to fail to operate correctly, or even fail to provide accurate clock signal, thereby affecting the sleep wake-up function of BMS, and finally may cause the system to fail to respond in time when it needs to wake up, or even malfunction.

[0005] Therefore, how to provide stable power supply for RTC chip and ensure the reliability of RTC wake-up function has become a technical problem to be solved. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

[0027] Figure 1 The first embodiment of the present application is a structural schematic diagram. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present application more clear, the present application will be described in detail below with drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the following specific embodiments are only used to explain the present application, and do not limit the present application.

[0029] As Figure 1 shown, in order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present application proposes a vehicle-mounted RTC wake-up circuit, comprising:

[0030] The wake-up circuit has an RTC chip and can send a wake-up instruction to the BMS.

[0031] The power supply circuit is used for converting the voltage of the normal power supply into the working voltage of the wake-up circuit.

[0032] Specifically, the wake-up circuit comprises an RTC chip, which functions to control the wake-up circuit through time and send a wake-up instruction to the BMS.

[0033] The power supply circuit is used for converting the voltage of the normal power supply into the working voltage of the wake-up circuit.

[0034] The power supply KL30 is a normal power supply, which serves as the input end of the power supply circuit. The power supply KL30 is connected with the voltage reduction circuit. The voltage reduction circuit converts the normal power supply voltage provided by the power supply KL30 into a low voltage suitable for the working of the wake-up circuit. The function of the voltage stabilizing tube Z1 in the circuit is one-way conduction, which prevents the reverse flow of current and protects other elements in the circuit from damage. The anode of the voltage stabilizing tube Z1 is grounded, and the cathode is connected with the output end of the voltage reduction circuit.

[0035] The function of the switch element T2 in the circuit is to serve as a switch element, which determines the current path between the source and the drain through the control of the gate. The gate of the switch element T2 is connected with the cathode of the voltage stabilizing tube Z1, the drain is connected with the power supply KL30, and the source is connected with the interrupt pin of the RTC chip, thereby controlling the working state of the RTC chip at a specific time.

[0036] By using the above technical scheme, the vehicle-mounted RTC wake-up circuit can be woken up at an appropriate time and work cooperatively with the BMS system through accurate voltage regulation and control, and has a stable working principle and efficient power management capability.

[0038] The voltage reduction circuit is arranged between the normal power supply and the gate of the switch element T2, and is used for reducing the working voltage of the gate of the switch element T2.

[0039] By adopting the technical scheme, the voltage reducing circuit reduces the high voltage of the normal power supply KL30 to a low voltage suitable for the gate of the switching element T2 through resistance voltage division. If the gate voltage of the switching element T2 is too high, the MOS tube will be damaged or fail, and if the gate voltage is too low, the switching element T2 cannot be triggered to normally conduct. The voltage reducing circuit ensures that the switching element T2 always works in a suitable voltage range, thereby ensuring the reliability of the circuit.

[0040] In an embodiment of the present application, the voltage reducing circuit comprises a resistor R1 and a resistor R2, a first end of the resistor R1 is connected to the power supply KL30, a second end of the resistor R1 is connected to a first end of the resistor R2, and a second end of the resistor R2 is connected to a cathode of a voltage stabilizing tube Z1.

[0041] Specifically, the voltage reducing circuit comprises the resistor R1 and the resistor R2, which are responsible for reducing the power supply voltage through resistance voltage division. The resistor R1 and the resistor R2 together constitute a resistor voltage divider, which reduces the power supply voltage to a voltage suitable for use in the subsequent circuit.

The resistor R1 and the resistor R2 are connected in series to form a voltage division circuit. A second end of the resistor R2 is connected to a cathode of the voltage stabilizing tube Z1, which finally provides a suitable voltage for the diode to work normally. The voltage stabilizing tube Z1 prevents reverse current flow and thus protects other elements in the circuit.

[0043] By adopting the technical scheme, the voltage is precisely adjusted through resistance voltage division, which ensures that the circuit can work normally at an appropriate voltage, effectively protects key elements in the system, and improves the stability and reliability of the circuit.

[0048] The switching element T3 cooperates with the triode T1.
