[0057] In the description of the present application, specific features, structures, materials or characteristics can be combined in any one or more embodiments or examples in a suitable manner.

[0058] Some embodiments of the present application provide an electronic device. As shown in Figure 1 The electronic device 1 includes a power supply (VCC) 10, a power supply circuit 20 and a load 30. The power supply circuit 20 is connected between the power supply 10 and the load 30.

[0059] Figure 2 A structural schematic diagram of an electronic device in some embodiments is shown. As shown in Figure 2 The power supply circuit 20 includes a switching circuit 100 and a protection circuit 700 connected to the switching circuit 100, and the protection circuit 700 is used to keep the switching circuit 100 working normally in the case of abnormality of the switching circuit 100.

[0060] The switching circuit 100 is used to be connected between the power supply 10 and the load 30. The first end of the switching circuit 100 is used to connect the power supply 10, and the second end of the switching circuit 100 is used to connect the load 30.

[0061] Next, how the protection circuit 700 keeps the switching circuit 100 working normally in the case of abnormality of the switching circuit 100 will be described in combination with Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 A structural schematic diagram of an electronic device in some embodiments is shown. Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 A structural schematic diagram of an electronic device in some embodiments is shown.

[0062] As shown in Figure 3 The power supply circuit 20 further includes an energy storage circuit 200 and a control circuit 300. The first end of the switching circuit 100 is connected to the power supply 10, the second end of the switching circuit 100 is connected to the first end of the energy storage circuit 200, and the third end of the switching circuit 100 is connected to a reference ground G, which can be a zero potential point, such as the grounding point in the electronic device.

[0063] The switch circuit 100 comprises a first switch element K1 and a second switch element K2. The first end of the first switch element K1 is connected to the first end of the switch circuit 100, and the second end of the first switch element K1 is connected to the second end of the switch circuit 100. The first end of the switch circuit 100 is used to connect the power supply 10, and the second end of the switch circuit 100 is used to connect the load 30.

[0064] The first end of the second switch element K2 is connected to the second end of the first switch element K1, and the second end of the second switch element K2 is connected to the third end of the switch circuit 100. The third end of the switch circuit 100 is connected to the reference ground G.

[0065] In an example, the first switch element K1 and the second switch element K2 can be Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistors (MOSFETs).

[0066] In some embodiments, the first output end of the control circuit 300 is connected to the fourth end of the switch circuit 100, and the third end of the first switch element K1 is connected to the fourth end of the switch circuit 100. The second output end of the control circuit 300 is connected to the fifth end of the switch circuit 100, and the third end of the second switch element K2 is connected to the fifth end of the switch circuit 100.

[0067] The control circuit 300 is used to control the on-off of the first switch element K1 and the second switch element K2, and at most one of the first switch element K1 and the second switch element K2 is turned on at the same time, i.e., the first switch element K1 and the second switch element K2 are not turned on at the same time.

[0068] In an example, the control circuit 300 comprises a voltage conversion circuit 310, an enable circuit 320, and a device controller 330.

[0069] Specifically, the first output end of the voltage conversion circuit 310 is used as the first output end of the control circuit 300, and the second output end of the voltage conversion circuit 310 is used as the second output end of the control circuit 300.

[0070] The voltage conversion circuit 310 can be a step-down voltage conversion circuit, a step-up voltage conversion circuit, or a step-up / step-down voltage conversion circuit.

[0071] The enable circuit 320 is connected to the second input end of the voltage conversion circuit 310. The enable circuit 320 comprises an enable end E for receiving an enable signal, and the enable signal is used to control the on-off of the switch circuit 100.

[0072] The device controller 330 is connected to the first input terminal of the voltage conversion circuit 310. The device controller 330 includes a control signal receiving terminal C, which is used to control the operating state of the power supply circuit 20, including a charging state and a discharging state.

[0073] When the power supply circuit 20 is in the charging state, the control circuit 300 controls the opening of the first switching element K1 and the closing of the second switching element K2, so that the second and third terminals of the switching circuit 100 are turned off and the first and second terminals of the switching circuit 100 are turned on, and the power supply 10 charges the energy storage circuit 200.

[0074] When the power supply circuit 20 is in the discharge state, the control circuit 300 controls the first switching element K1 to close and the second switching element K2 to open, so that the first terminal and the second terminal of the switching circuit 100 are turned off and the second terminal and the third terminal of the switching circuit 100 are turned on, and the energy storage circuit 200 discharges to the load 30.

[0075] In some embodiments, the second terminal of the energy storage circuit 200 is connected to the load 30, and after the energy storage circuit 200 is charged, it discharges to the load 30.

[0076] In one example, the energy storage circuit 200 can be an inductive element L1, such as a power inductor.

[0077] In some scenarios, to avoid fluctuations in discharge voltage caused by noise during the discharge process of the energy storage circuit 200, which could affect the working stability of the load 30, at least one filter element 210, such as a filter capacitor, can be connected to the second terminal of the energy storage circuit 200.

[0078] like Figure 3 As shown, the filter element 210 can be two capacitors connected in parallel between the second terminal of the energy storage circuit 200 and the reference ground G.

[0079] Since the switching circuit 100 includes a first switching element K1 and a second switching element K2, the first switching element K1 is turned on when the power supply circuit 20 is in a charging state, connecting the first and second terminals of the switching circuit 100. The second switching element K2 is turned on when the power supply circuit 20 is in a discharging state, connecting the second and third terminals of the switching circuit 100. Therefore, switching of the switching elements is involved. Thus, in some examples, the power supply circuit 20 may also include a switching circuit SW.

[0080] The switching circuit SW is connected between the energy storage circuit 200 and the second terminal of the switching circuit 100, and is used to switch between the first branch and the second branch. The first branch is the path between the first and second terminals of the switching circuit 100, and the second branch is the path between the second and third terminals of the switching circuit 100.

[0081] As shown in the electronic device 1 shown in Figure 3 The protection circuit includes a current protection circuit 500.

[0082] The current protection circuit 500 is used to avoid the risk of simultaneous burnout of the first switching element K1 and the second switching element K2 caused by overcurrent generated on the switching circuit 100 exceeding the limit current (BI) of the switching element in the case of overcurrent in the power supply circuit 20 when the power supply 10 input is unstable, so as to realize protection of the first switching element K1 and the second switching element K2 in the switching circuit 100.

[0083] As shown in Figure 3 The first end of the current protection circuit 500 is connected to the power supply 10, the second end of the current protection circuit 500 is connected to the first end of the first switching element K1, and the third end of the current protection circuit 500 is connected to the reference ground (G).

[0084] The current protection circuit 500 is used to perform overcurrent protection on the switching circuit 100 when the first end and the second end of the switching circuit 100 are turned on.

[0085] Specifically, the current protection circuit 500 is used to discharge current to the reference ground G through the third end of the current protection circuit 500 until the current on the path is less than or equal to the preset current threshold value in the case that the current at the first end of the first switching element K1 is greater than the preset current threshold value.

[0086] When the current at the first end of the switching circuit 100 is greater than the preset current threshold value, the second end and the third end of the current protection circuit 500 are turned on, the current shunt path is immediately opened, the shunt protection is performed, and the current is discharged to the switching circuit 100 through the reference ground G. The current greater than the preset current threshold value is shunted or filtered out by the reference ground G (such as the grounding point), the current size on the path of the switching circuit 100 is reduced, the working current within the normal range is reserved, the burnout of the first switching element K1 and the second switching element K2 caused by overcurrent is avoided, the first switching element K1 and the second switching element K2 are not closed, the stability and reliability of the power supply circuit are ensured, the user experience satisfaction is increased, and the complaint phenomenon is avoided.

[0087] The current protection circuit 500 includes a first resistor R1, a second resistor R2, and a third switching element K3.

[0088] The first end of the first resistor R1 is connected to the power supply 10, the second end of the first resistor R1 is connected to the first end of the first switch element K1, the first end of the third switch element K3 is connected to the second end of the first resistor R1, the first end of the second resistor R2 is connected to the second end of the third switch element K3, and the second end of the second resistor R2 is connected to the third end of the current protection circuit 500 (connected to the reference ground G).

[0089] The first resistor R1 can be a power resistor, and the second resistor R2 can be a surge resistor. When the current at the first end of the first switch element K1 is greater than a preset current threshold, the third switch element K3 is turned on, and the current is discharged to the reference ground G through the second resistor R2.

[0090] Further, as shown in Figure 3 The current protection circuit 500 further includes a third resistor R3, a fourth resistor R4, and a fourth switch element K4.

[0091] The fourth switch element K4 has a first end connected to the first end of the first resistor R1 and a second end connected to the second end of the first resistor R1.

[0092] The third resistor R3 has a first end connected to the third end of the fourth switch element K4 and a second end connected to the third end of the third switch element K3.

[0093] The fourth resistor R4 has a first end connected to the second end of the third resistor R3 and a second end connected to the reference ground G.

[0094] Specifically, in some embodiments, the fourth switch element K4 and the third switch element K3 are metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors.

[0095] In other embodiments, the fourth switch element K4 is a triode, and the third switch element K3 is a metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor.

[0096] Taking the fourth switch element K4 as a PNP triode (P-type triode) and the third switch element K3 as a metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor as an example. When the current of the power supply 10 is too large, the voltage across the first resistor R1 becomes large, thereby turning on the fourth switch element K4. The power supply 10 passes through the fourth switch element K4, the third resistor R3, and the fourth resistor R4, and applies a voltage across the fourth resistor R4 to the third switch element K3, so that the third switch element K3 is turned on. After the third switch element K3 is turned on, the second resistor R2 is used to shunt the current of the power supply 10, thereby reducing the current flowing through the first switch element K1 and the second switch element K2, avoiding the burning of the first switch element K1 and the second switch element K2 caused by overcurrent, and at the same time, the function of the power supply circuit 20 is not closed.

[0097] When overcurrent occurs, the current protection circuit 500 provided by the embodiment of the present application immediately opens the current shunt path, performs shunt protection, reduces the current size on the first switch element K1 and the second switch element K2 path, avoids the case that the first switch element K1 and the second switch element K2 are burned out due to overcurrent, and at the same time does not close the function of the power supply circuit 20, guarantees the user's health examination and safety, and avoids the occurrence of complaints.

[0098] As shown in the electronic device 1 shown in Figure 3 When positive overvoltage occurs at the power supply 10 end, if the voltage exceeds the breakdown voltage (Breakdown Voltage, BV) or the limit voltage of the switch element, the current protection circuit 500 cannot function, and the first switch element K1 and the second switch element K2 may be burned out at the same time.

[0099] In addition, for the electronic device 1 shown in Figure 3 If the negative overvoltage caused by the reverse electromotive force of the energy storage circuit 200 at the rear end occurs when the power supply circuit 20 is switched from the charging state to the discharging state, the reverse breakdown of the second switch element K2 will also occur, and the voltage difference of the first switch element K1 will also increase to cause breakdown. The current protection circuit 500 cannot function for the negative overvoltage caused by the reverse electromotive force of the energy storage circuit 200, and the reverse breakdown of the second switch element K2 will also occur, and the voltage difference of the first switch element K1 will also increase to cause breakdown.

[0100] In order to protect the first switch element K1 and the second switch element K2 from being damaged when the positive overvoltage or the negative overvoltage of the power supply circuit 20 occurs, and at the same time ensure that the power supply circuit 20 can work normally, the present disclosure provides an electronic device, as shown in Figure 4 The protection circuit 700 includes the voltage protection circuit 600.

[0101] As shown in Figure 4 The first end of the voltage protection circuit 600 is connected to the second end of the switch circuit 100 through the switching circuit SW, and the second end of the voltage protection circuit 600 is connected to the reference ground G.

[0102] The voltage protection circuit 600 is configured to, in a case where a voltage value between the first end of the voltage protection circuit 600 and the second end of the voltage protection circuit 600 meets a preset condition, perform voltage discharge to the reference ground G through the second end of the voltage protection circuit 600, so as to maintain the normal work of the switch circuit 100.

[0103] Among them, the voltage protection circuit 600 can also be called the overvoltage peak elimination circuit. Through real-time overvoltage peak elimination, it filters out the relevant signals of overvoltage in a timely manner, while maintaining the working voltage within the normal range. This prevents the switching circuit 100 from burning out due to overvoltage, while not shutting down the function of the switching circuit 100. This ensures the stability and reliability of the power supply circuit, while increasing user experience satisfaction and avoiding customer complaints.

[0104] In some examples, such as Figure 5 As shown, the voltage protection circuit 600 includes a first protection circuit 610.

[0105] like Figure 5 As shown, the first terminal of the first protection circuit 610 is connected to the second terminal of the first switching element K1, and the second terminal of the first protection circuit 610 is connected to the reference ground G.

[0106] The first protection circuit 610 is used to discharge voltage to the reference ground G through the second terminal of the first protection circuit 610 when the voltage value between the first terminal of the first protection circuit 610 and the second terminal of the first protection circuit 610 is greater than the first preset voltage threshold, until the voltage between the first terminal of the first protection circuit 610 and the reference ground G is less than or equal to the first preset voltage threshold.

[0107] When the first protection circuit 610 is discharging voltage, the potential at the first terminal of the first protection circuit 610 is higher than the potential at the second terminal of the first protection circuit 610.

[0108] In one example, the first protection circuit 610 includes a first diode, the anode of which is connected to the second terminal of the first switching element K1, and the cathode of which is connected to reference ground G.

[0109] In another example, such as Figure 5 As shown, the first protection circuit 610 includes a plurality of first diodes connected in series. The anode formed by the plurality of first diodes connected in series is connected to the second terminal of the first switching element K1, and the cathode formed by the plurality of first diodes connected in series is connected to the reference ground G.

[0110] Furthermore, the first diode is a Schottky diode.

[0111] The peak clipping voltage value is configured by using the first diode. The conduction characteristics of the diode are used to filter out the overvoltage portion while retaining the normal signal. This avoids the overvoltage from burning out the switching circuit and does not affect the normal operation of the power supply circuit.

[0112] The first protection circuit 610 provided by the embodiment of the present application filters out the overvoltage related signals in time through the first protection circuit 610, while retaining the working voltage within the normal range, thereby avoiding the situation that the first switch element K1 and the second switch element K2 are burned out due to overvoltage, while not closing the function of the power supply circuit 20, guaranteeing the user's health examination and safety, and avoiding the occurrence of complaints.

[0113] In some other examples, as shown in Figure 6 The voltage protection circuit 600 includes a second protection circuit 620.

[0114] As shown in Figure 6 The first end of the second protection circuit 620 is connected to the second end of the first switch element K1, and the second end of the second protection circuit 620 is connected to the reference ground G.

[0115] The second protection circuit 620 is configured to, in a case that the voltage value between the first end of the second protection circuit 620 and the second end of the second protection circuit 620 is less than a second preset voltage threshold, perform voltage discharge from the second end of the second protection circuit 620 to the reference ground G until the voltage between the first end of the second protection circuit 620 and the second end of the second protection circuit 620 is greater than or equal to the second preset voltage threshold.

[0116] In the case that the second protection circuit 620 performs voltage discharge, the potential at the first end of the second protection circuit 620 is lower than the potential at the second end of the second protection circuit 620.

[0117] In an example, the second protection circuit 620 includes a second diode, the cathode of the second diode is connected to the second end of the first switch element K1, and the anode of the second diode is connected to the reference ground G.

[0118] In another example, as shown in Figure 6 The second protection circuit 620 includes a plurality of second diodes, the plurality of second diodes are connected in series, the cathode formed after the plurality of second diodes are connected in series is connected to the second end of the first switch element K1, and the anode formed after the plurality of second diodes are connected in series is connected to the reference ground G.

[0119] Further, the second diode is a Schottky diode.

[0120] The peak clipping voltage value is configured by the second diode, the overvoltage part is filtered out by using the conduction characteristic of the diode, while the normal signal is retained, thereby avoiding the situation that the switch circuit is burned out due to overvoltage, while not affecting the normal working of the power supply circuit.

[0121] The second protection circuit 620 provided by the embodiment of the present application filters out the overvoltage part related signals in time, while retaining the working voltage within the normal range, avoids the case that the first switching element K1 and the second switching element K2 are burned out due to overvoltage, and meanwhile does not close the function of the power supply circuit 20, guarantees the user's health examination and safety problem, and avoids the complaint phenomenon.

[0122] In yet some examples, as shown in Figure 7 The voltage protection circuit includes the first protection circuit 610 and the second protection circuit 620.

[0123] In yet some examples, as shown in Figure 8 The protection circuit includes the current protection circuit 500, the first protection circuit 610 and the second protection circuit 620.

[0124] The power supply circuit 20 provided by the embodiment of the present application combines the protection circuit with the switching circuit, realizes the instant response and effective protection of the abnormal condition of the switching circuit. When the abnormal condition of the switching circuit occurs, the protection circuit can intervene rapidly, ensures that the switching circuit is not damaged, and maintains the normal operation of the switching circuit. Not only the stability and reliability of the switching circuit are enhanced, the service life of the switching circuit and the overall power supply circuit is effectively prolonged, but also the safety risk caused by the failure of the switching circuit is greatly reduced.

[0125] For the overcurrent condition, when the overcurrent occurs, the current shunt path is immediately opened by the current protection circuit 500, the shunt protection is performed, the current size on the first switching element K1 and the second switching element K2 path is reduced, the case that the first switching element K1 and the second switching element K2 are burned out due to overcurrent is avoided, and meanwhile the function of the power supply circuit 20 is not closed, the user's health examination and safety problem are guaranteed, and the complaint phenomenon is avoided.

[0126] For the positive overvoltage condition, the first protection circuit 610 filters out the overvoltage part related signals in time, while retaining the working voltage within the normal range, avoids the case that the first switching element K1 and the second switching element K2 are burned out due to overvoltage, and meanwhile the function of the power supply circuit 20 is not closed, the user's health examination and safety problem are guaranteed, and the complaint phenomenon is avoided.

[0127] For the negative overvoltage condition, the second protection circuit 620 filters out the overvoltage part related signals in time, while retaining the working voltage within the normal range, avoids the case that the first switching element K1 and the second switching element K2 are burned out due to overvoltage, and meanwhile the function of the power supply circuit 20 is not closed, the user's health examination and safety problem are guaranteed, and the complaint phenomenon is avoided.
