[0027] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.
[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Some terms used in the embodiments of this application will be explained below to facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art.
[0029] The NMOS transistor G1 is a field-effect transistor made of N-type semiconductor material. It has three main terminals: drain (D), source (S), and gate (G). In the NMOS transistor G1, the current between the drain and source is controlled by the gate voltage.
[0030] A battery management IC (BMS IC) is an integrated circuit specifically designed to monitor, manage, and protect battery packs. Its main functions include measuring key battery parameters such as voltage, current, and temperature to ensure the battery operates within safe operating ranges. In certain scenarios, it is typically used when a high voltage is required to start the device and then switch to a lower voltage supply during normal operation.
[0031] Example 1:
[0032] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 ;
[0033] Existing high-voltage resistor starting circuits typically use multiple resistors with large resistance values connected in series to achieve high-voltage starting. However, after high-voltage starting, the resistors in the circuit will consume power, causing heat generation and resulting in high static losses.
[0034] This embodiment provides a low-power standby circuit operating under high-voltage direct current, including a control module, a power management module, a power supply module, and an output module. The control module contains multiple resistors with large resistance values connected in series to generate a high voltage. The control module and the power management module are bidirectionally electrically connected. In this embodiment, the control module should have a switch that operates according to the signal output by the power management module. The power management module and the power supply module are electrically connected. During operation, the control module first provides a high voltage to the power management module to start it up. After the power management module starts up with high voltage, the electrical energy in the power supply module can be transferred to the power management module and converted by the power management module to be output from the output module. At the same time, the power management module sends a signal to the control module to stop the control module from outputting high voltage to the power management module. Since the power management module is now supplied with electrical energy by the power supply module, a self-feedback power supply method is used to cyclically provide electrical energy to maintain its normal startup state, thereby maintaining normal power conversion operation. The control module stops providing high voltage to the power management module, thus ultimately achieving the goal of reducing energy consumption. The power management module in this embodiment should have a power management IC chip, a power conversion circuit, and a power supply circuit that enables self-feeding power to the power management IC chip. The power supply circuit can refer to the relevant technology in the publicly available technical document "CN106055011B - A self-starting power supply circuit".
[0035] Specifically, the control module can start the power management module under high voltage. However, since the control module has multiple resistors with large resistance values connected in series, the control module will generate excessive heat when it is in operation for a long time. In this embodiment, the power management module after high voltage start can form a self-destructive power supply with the power supply module to maintain the normal operation of the power management module. At the same time, the power management module feeds back a signal to the control module to shut down the control module, thereby reducing the power consumption of the resistors.
[0036] In one embodiment based on the above examples, the control module includes a high-voltage input module, a first resistor module, a second resistor module, and a transistor G2. The output terminal of the high-voltage input module is electrically connected to the first resistor module and the second resistor module, respectively. The output terminal of the first resistor module is electrically connected to the base of the transistor G2, and the output terminal of the second resistor module is electrically connected to the collector of the transistor G2. Therefore, the resistance value of the second resistor module should be less than the resistance value of the first resistor module, so that the base of the transistor G2 is at a high voltage, thereby enabling the transistor G2 to conduct. The first input terminal of the power management module is electrically connected to the emitter of the transistor G2, so that the high voltage can be applied to the power management module, enabling the power management module to complete high-voltage startup.
[0037] In this embodiment, the power management module can also be used to control the switching module to turn on. Turning on the switching module can make the base voltage of transistor G2 low, thereby turning off transistor G2, reducing the resistance in the standby circuit, and thus reducing standby power consumption.
[0038] By making the resistance of the first resistor module less than that of the second resistor module, the DC power output from the high-voltage DC power supply is divided by the first and second resistor modules, resulting in a base voltage greater than the collector voltage of transistor G2. This causes transistor G2 to conduct. The reduced voltage then acts on the power management module to complete its high-voltage startup. The power management module can then control the switching module to conduct. The conduction of the switching module lowers the voltage of transistor G2, resulting in a low base voltage and ultimately turning transistor G2 off. This reduces the resistance of the parallel-connected first and second resistor modules when the high-voltage input module outputs high-voltage DC power, thereby reducing the high static losses generated by the first and second resistor modules and achieving a low-power standby circuit under high-voltage DC operation.
[0039] Specifically: Taking the power management module including the IC chip as an example, in this embodiment, the first resistor module includes resistors R4, R5, R6, R8, R11, and R13 connected in series. One end of resistor R4 is electrically connected to the high-voltage input module, and resistor R13 is electrically connected to the base of transistor G2. In this embodiment, the resistance values of resistors R4, R5, R6, R8, R11, and R13 are all 750 ohms. The second resistor module includes resistors R1, R2, R3, R7, R9, and R12 connected in series. Resistor R1 is electrically connected to the high-voltage input module, and resistor R12 is electrically connected to the collector of transistor G2.
[0040] The power management module also includes diode D2, Zener diode ZD1, and capacitor C2. The anode of diode D2 is electrically connected to the emitter of transistor G2, one end of the cathode of diode D2 is electrically connected to the cathode of Zener diode ZD1, and the other end of the cathode of diode D2 is electrically connected to the IC-VCC input pin of the IC chip. The anode of Zener diode ZD1 is grounded. One end of capacitor C2 is electrically connected to the IC-VCC pin of the IC chip, and the other end of capacitor C2 is electrically connected to the anode of Zener diode ZD1. The power supply module includes an external power supply and diode D1. The anode of diode D1 is electrically connected to the external power supply. The cathode of the IC chip is electrically connected to the input pin, allowing an external power supply to power the IC chip. More specifically, the switching module includes an NMOS transistor G1, a capacitor C1, and a resistor R10. The gate of the NMOS transistor G1, capacitor C1, and resistor R10 form an intermediate node. The drain of the NMOS transistor G1 is electrically connected to the node between resistors R5 and R8. The source of the NMOS transistor G1 is grounded, the other end of capacitor C1 is grounded, and the other end of resistor R10 is electrically connected to the output terminal of the IC chip. Simultaneously, the power management module is electrically connected to the output module, enabling the power supply module to power the output module after conversion by the power management module.
[0041] In this embodiment, the high-voltage input module can generate high voltage. The resistance values of resistors R4, R5, R6, R8, R11, and R13 in the first resistor module are greater than the total resistance value of resistors R1, R2, R3, R7, R9, and R12 in the second resistor module connected in series. This allows transistor G2 to conduct, and the high voltage can then be transmitted to the IC chip through diode D2, thus completing the high-voltage startup of the IC chip. After the IC chip is started at high voltage, it can output a signal to the external power supply, enabling the external power supply to power the output module through the power management system. On the other hand, the external power supply can provide self-powered power to the IC chip, maintaining its normal operation. After the IC chip is started at high voltage, it outputs a high-level signal, which, through resistor R10, makes the gate of NMOS transistor G1 high, thereby turning on NMOS transistor G1. This allows the DC power output from the high-voltage input module to form a path through NMOS transistor G1, thereby reducing the resistance value on the high-voltage DC power and reducing the static consumption of the high-voltage DC power.

The MCU microprocessor can control the conduction and cutoff of the NMOS transistor Q1, thereby controlling the conduction and cutoff of the switching module.
