Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of power control circuits, and more particularly to a self-locking isolated DC-DC activation circuit based on optocoupler feedback. Background Technology
[0002] Existing power control circuits for low-power devices have the following drawbacks:
[0003] 1. Frequent wake-up consumes a lot of energy: Traditional solutions require the complete execution of the "activation → initialization → operation" process every time a button is pressed, with a single power consumption of up to 85-120mJ and an annual energy consumption of over 300kJ;
[0004] 2. Optocoupler aging risk: Traditional solutions rely on the continuous conduction of the optocoupler, which leads to a decrease in system reliability;
[0005] 3. Sleep / wake-up delay: Traditional RC delay circuits have slow response speed;
[0006] Based on the above reasons, a self-locking isolated DC-DC activation circuit based on optocoupler feedback was designed. Summary of the Invention
[0007] To overcome at least one of the defects described in the prior art, this invention provides a self-locking isolated DC-DC activation circuit based on optocoupler feedback. This solves the problems of high power consumption, short optocoupler lifespan, and slow response speed.
[0008] The technical solution adopted by this invention to solve its problem is:
[0009] A self-locking isolated DC-DC activation circuit based on optocoupler feedback includes: a trigger; a MOS chip electrically connected to the trigger; an isolated DC-DC circuit electrically connected to the MOS chip; an MCU module, the isolated DC-DC circuit being used to power the MCU module; and an optocoupler isolation module electrically connected to the MCU module. When the trigger is pressed, the MOS chip is turned on, energizing the isolated DC-DC circuit and powering the MCU module. The MCU module drives the optocoupler isolation module to achieve electrical isolation.
[0010] Furthermore, the MOS chip is a P-MOS chip.
[0011] Furthermore, the trigger is an external button, and one end of the external button is electrically connected to the gate of the P-MOS chip.
[0012] Furthermore, the source of the P-MOS chip is electrically connected to the input voltage, and the drain of the P-MOS chip is electrically connected to the input terminal of the isolated DC-DC circuit.
[0013] Furthermore, the output terminal of the isolated DC-DC circuit is electrically connected to the MCU module to supply power to the MCU module.
[0014] In summary, the self-locking isolated DC-DC activation circuit based on optocoupler feedback provided by this invention has the following technical effects:
[0015] 1. Low power consumption: This application uses a self-locking isolated DC-DC activation circuit based on optocoupler feedback, abandoning the traditional method of executing a complete "activation → initialization → operation" process with each button trigger. Through a unique self-locking mechanism, unnecessary energy consumption is reduced. After triggering, power is maintained on demand, avoiding high energy consumption caused by frequent wake-ups. This effectively reduces single-use power consumption, significantly reduces annual energy consumption, and improves device battery life and energy utilization.
[0016] 2. Improve optocoupler lifespan and system reliability: Employ an optocoupler feedback mechanism with non-continuous optocoupler operation. After the system stabilizes, the optocoupler's operating state is rationally controlled to avoid aging issues caused by prolonged continuous conduction, extending the optocoupler's lifespan and thus improving the overall system reliability and stability, reducing the probability of failures due to optocoupler aging.
[0017] 3. Fast response, reduced sleep / wake latency: Unlike traditional RC delay circuits, this circuit utilizes advanced control logic and circuit architecture to achieve fast response. During sleep / wake-up, it can quickly complete state switching, greatly shortening response time, meeting the device's need for fast response, and improving user experience and device efficiency.

[0024] See Figure 1 This invention discloses a self-locking isolated DC-DC activation circuit based on optocoupler feedback, including a trigger, a MOS chip, an isolated DC-DC circuit 3, an MCU module 4, and an optocoupler isolation module 5. The trigger is electrically connected to the MOS chip, the isolated DC-DC circuit 3 is electrically connected to the MOS chip, the isolated DC-DC circuit 3 is used to supply power to the MCU module 4, and the optocoupler isolation module 5 is electrically connected to the MCU module 4. When the trigger is pressed, the MOS chip is turned on, which energizes the isolated DC-DC circuit 3 and supplies power to the MCU module 4. The MCU module 4 drives the optocoupler isolation module 5 to achieve electrical isolation.
[0025] In this embodiment, the MOS chip is a P-MOS chip 2; the trigger is an external button, one end of which is electrically connected to the gate of the P-MOS chip 2. The source of the P-MOS chip 2 is electrically connected to the input voltage, and the drain of the P-MOS chip 2 is electrically connected to the input terminal of the isolated DC-DC circuit 3; the output terminal of the isolated DC-DC circuit 3 is electrically connected to the MCU module 4 to supply power to the MCU module 4.
[0026] It should also be noted that the other end of the external button is electrically connected to the optocoupler isolation module 5.
[0027] The working principle of this invention is as follows: It adopts a three-level trigger control architecture of mechanical triggering, opto-isolation, and power drive.
[0028] 1. Input stage: Pressing the external button turns on the P-MOS chip 2, connecting the isolated DC-DC circuit 3 and supplying power to the MCU module 4;
[0029] 2. Isolation level: The MCU module 4 drives the optocoupler isolation module 5 to achieve electrical isolation;
[0030] 3. Driver stage: The optocoupler isolation module 5 keeps the P-MOS chip 2 of the isolated DC-DC circuit 3 on. When sleep mode is required, the MCU module 4 turns off the optocoupler isolation module 5, the isolated DC-DC circuit 3 stops working, and the system goes into sleep mode until the external button is activated again.
[0031] Self-locking maintenance mechanism: Zero-power self-locking is achieved through a positive feedback loop. When an external button is pressed, the optocoupler isolation module 5 is turned on, charging the P-MOS chip 2, starting the isolated DC-DC circuit 3, turning on the MCU module 4, and pulling the control terminal of the optocoupler isolation module 5 high, keeping the P-MOS chip 2 on.
[0032] In summary, the self-locking isolated DC-DC activation circuit based on optocoupler feedback provided by this invention has the following technical effects:
[0033] 1. Low power consumption: This application uses a self-locking isolated DC-DC activation circuit based on optocoupler feedback, abandoning the traditional method of executing a complete "activation → initialization → operation" process with each button trigger. Through a unique self-locking mechanism, unnecessary energy consumption is reduced. After triggering, power is maintained on demand, avoiding high energy consumption caused by frequent wake-ups. This effectively reduces single-use power consumption, significantly reduces annual energy consumption, and improves device battery life and energy utilization.
