[0022] In this application, the reference to "embodiment" means that a specific feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0023] In this application, the term "and / or" is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent three cases: A alone, A and B simultaneously, and B alone. Additionally, the character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects are in an "or" relationship. Furthermore, "many" in this application means two or more. Moreover, the term "at least one" in this application means any combination of at least two of any one or more of a plurality of objects.

Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" in this application are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features.

[0024] During the rise and fall of voltage on the power rails of a chip, the voltage difference between them needs to be controlled within a specific threshold range. Exceeding this range can lead to internal circuit logic corruption, abnormal signal transmission, and even permanent chip damage. For example, in high-speed data processing chips, if the voltage difference between the core power rail and the I / O interface power rail exceeds design standards, it will severely affect the accuracy and reliability of data transmission. Currently, existing chip power management technologies still have limitations in meeting the timing requirements of complex multi-power rail systems.

[0025] To address these issues, this application proposes a power rail circuit, a power supply, and a chip.

[0026] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this application, the technical solution of this application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0027] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1This is a schematic diagram of the power rail circuit according to an embodiment of this application. The power rail circuit 100 includes a power input terminal 101, a voltage follower control circuit 20, a constant current source circuit 30, and a power output terminal 401.

[0028] The input terminal 201 of the voltage follower control circuit 20 is connected to the power input terminal 101, and the constant current source circuit 30 is connected to the output terminal 202 and the control terminal 203 of the voltage follower control circuit 20. For example... Figure 1 As shown, power input terminal 101 provides input voltage V_IN to input terminal 201 of voltage follower control circuit 20. Output terminal 202 of voltage follower control circuit 20 is connected to constant current source circuit 30. Constant current source circuit 30 is also connected to control terminal 203 of voltage follower control circuit 20 and power output terminal 401, from which voltage V_OUT is output. In some examples, output voltage V_OUT can be core voltage 1.2V, I / O voltage 3.3V, analog circuit voltage 5V, etc.

[0029] The output voltage from the power output terminal 401 is output by following the input voltage from the power input terminal 101 through the voltage follower control circuit 20 and the constant current source circuit 30. In some examples, the output voltage V_OUT output by the power output terminal 401 follows the input voltage V_IN input by the power input terminal 101 through the voltage follower control circuit 20 and the constant current source circuit 30. The input terminal 201 of the voltage follower control circuit 20 obtains the input voltage V_IN, and the control terminal 203 of the voltage follower control circuit 20 obtains feedback on the output voltage V_OUT. Based on the input voltage V_IN and the output voltage V_OUT, the voltage follower control circuit 20 controls the output signal of the output terminal 202 of the voltage follower control circuit 20. The constant current source circuit 30 adjusts its own output based on the output signal so that the output voltage V_OUT can follow the input voltage V_IN. For example, the output voltage V_OUT increases as the input voltage V_IN increases, or the output voltage V_OUT decreases as the input voltage V_IN decreases. That is, the voltage difference between the output voltage V_OUT and the input voltage V_IN is within a preset range so that they can meet a specific start-up sequence or voltage difference limit.

[0030] In this embodiment, the power rail circuit 100 includes a power input terminal 101, a voltage follower control circuit 20, a constant current source circuit 30, and a power output terminal 401. The input terminal 201 of the voltage follower control circuit 20 is connected to the power input terminal 101, and the constant current source circuit 30 is connected to the output terminal 202 and the control terminal 203 of the voltage follower control circuit 20. The output voltage output by the power output terminal 401 follows the input voltage input by the power input terminal 101 through the voltage follower control circuit 20 and the constant current source circuit 30. That is, the voltage follower control circuit 20 can control the output signal of the output terminal 202 of the voltage follower control circuit 20 based on the input voltage and the output voltage, and actively adjust the output of the constant current source circuit 30 so that the output voltage changes with the change of the input voltage. Thus, the power rail circuit 100 meets the timing requirements of complex multi-power rails.

[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 This is a circuit diagram of a power rail circuit according to an embodiment of this application. The voltage follower control circuit 20 includes a first voltage divider circuit 210, an operational amplifier circuit 220, and a feedback circuit 230. The operational amplifier circuit 220 is connected to the first voltage divider circuit 210 and the feedback circuit 230.

[0032] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the first voltage divider circuit 210 includes a first resistor R1 and a second resistor R2 connected in series. The first end of the first resistor R1 is connected to the power input terminal 101, the second end of the first resistor R1 is connected to the first end of the second resistor R2, and the second end of the second resistor R2 is grounded. The resistance values ​​of the first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2 can be set according to the magnitude of the output voltage V_OUT.

[0033] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the constant current source circuit 30 includes a first transistor Q1, a second transistor Q2, and a third resistor R3. In some examples, the first transistor Q1 and the second transistor Q2 can be NPN (Negative-Positive-Negative Transistor) type transistors.

[0034] In this configuration, the first terminal of the first transistor Q1 is connected to the power input terminal 101, the second terminal of the first transistor Q1 is connected to the second transistor Q2, and the third terminal of the first transistor Q1 is connected to the first terminal of the third resistor R3. For example, the collector (c) of the first transistor Q1 is connected to the power input terminal 101, the base (b) of the first transistor Q1 is connected to the second transistor Q2, and the emitter (e) of the first transistor Q1 is connected to the first terminal of the third resistor R3. The first terminal of the second transistor Q2 is connected to the second terminal of the first transistor Q1, the second terminal of the second transistor Q2 is connected to the third terminal of the first transistor Q1 and the first terminal of the third resistor R3, and the third terminal of the second transistor Q2 is connected to the second terminal of the third resistor R3. For example, the collector (c) of the second transistor Q2 is connected to the base of the first transistor Q1, the base (b) of the second transistor Q2 is connected to the emitter of the first transistor Q1 and the first terminal of the third resistor R3, and the emitter (e) of the second transistor Q2 is connected to the second terminal of the third resistor R3. The second terminal of the third resistor R3 is connected to the power output terminal 401.

[0035] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the constant current source circuit 30 also includes a second voltage divider circuit 310, which includes a fourth resistor R4, a fifth resistor R5, and a sixth resistor R6. The first terminal of the fourth resistor R4 is connected to the third terminal of the second transistor Q2, and the second terminal of the fourth resistor R4 is connected to the second terminal of the third resistor R3. The first terminal of the fifth resistor R5 is connected to the second terminal of the third resistor R3 and the power output terminal 401, and the second terminal of the fifth resistor R5 is connected to the first terminal of the sixth resistor R6. The second terminal of the sixth resistor R6 is grounded. The resistance values ​​of the fourth resistor R4, the fifth resistor R5, and the sixth resistor R6 can be set according to the magnitude of the output voltage V_OUT.

[0036] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, a first preset node 2101 is provided between the first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2, and a second preset node 3101 is provided between the fifth resistor R5 and the sixth resistor R6.

[0037] The first terminal of the operational amplifier circuit 220 is connected to the first preset node 2101 of the first voltage divider circuit, the second terminal of the operational amplifier circuit 220 is connected to the feedback circuit 230, the third terminal of the operational amplifier circuit 220 is connected to the constant current source circuit 30, and the feedback circuit 230 is also connected to the second preset node 3101 of the constant current source circuit 30.

[0038] The operational amplifier circuit 220 may include an operational amplifier U1. For example, the positive input terminal of the operational amplifier U1 is connected to the first preset node 2101 of the first voltage divider circuit 210, the negative input terminal of the operational amplifier U1 is connected to the second preset node 3101 of the feedback circuit 230 and the constant current source circuit 30, and the output terminal of the operational amplifier U1 is connected to the constant current source circuit 30.

[0039] In some examples, the voltage V_S_IN of the first preset node 2101 increases as the input voltage V_IN input to the power input terminal 101 increases, and the voltage V_FB of the second preset node 3101 increases as the output voltage V_OUT output to the power output terminal 401 increases. The operational amplifier circuit 220 is used to regulate the output voltage output to the power output terminal 401 based on the difference between the voltage of the first preset node 2101 and the voltage of the second preset node 3101.

[0040] For example, the initial voltage at the negative input terminal of operational amplifier U1 is 0V. The voltage V_S_IN at the positive input terminal of operational amplifier U1 increases as the input voltage V_IN rises, and the voltage V_OP_OUT at the output terminal of operational amplifier U1 also rises accordingly, outputting to the input terminal of constant current source circuit 30, which outputs to V_OUT. The voltage V_FB at the second preset node 3101 at the negative input terminal of operational amplifier U1, i.e., the feedback voltage, increases as the output voltage V_OUT output from power supply output terminal 401 rises. When V_FB rises to V_S_IN, the entire loop reaches stability.

[0041] In some embodiments, when the output current output by the power output terminal 401 is greater than the current limiting of the constant current source circuit 30, the voltage difference between the second terminal (b) and the third terminal (e) of the second transistor Q2 increases, the voltage difference between the first terminal (c) and the third terminal (e) of the second transistor Q2 increases, the voltage difference between the second terminal (b) and the third terminal (e) of the first transistor Q1 decreases, the voltage difference between the first terminal (c) and the third terminal (e) of the first transistor Q1 decreases, and consequently the output current output by the power output terminal 401 decreases.

[0042] In some examples, the current limit of the constant current source circuit 30 is I_R3, with a value of Vbe / R3. For example... Figure 2 As shown, when the output current I_OUT from the power supply output terminal 401 is greater than the current limiting current I_R3 of the constant current source circuit 30, Vbe(Q2)=V(R3)=I_OUT*R3 increases accordingly, the transistor operates in the amplification region, and Ice(Q2)=βIbe(Q2) also increases accordingly. At this time, Ibe(Q1)=Is_out-Ice(Q2), that is, Ibe(Q1) decreases in the reverse direction, and further I_OUT=Ice(Q1)=βIbe(Q1) also decreases. Wherein, β is the current amplification factor.

[0043] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3This is a circuit diagram of a power rail circuit according to another embodiment of this application. The power rail circuit 100 also includes a power input circuit 10 and a power output circuit 40.

[0044] The power input circuit 10 includes a second capacitor C2 and a third capacitor C3. The first terminal of the second capacitor C2 is connected to the power input terminal 101, and the second terminal of the second capacitor C2 is grounded. The first terminal of the third capacitor C3 is connected to the first terminal of the second capacitor C2 and the input terminal of the voltage follower control circuit 20, and the second terminal of the third capacitor C3 is grounded. In some examples, the second capacitor C2 is a low-frequency filter capacitor, and the third capacitor C3 is a high-frequency filter capacitor, used for filtering, energy storage, and input stabilization to improve power quality and reduce system failure risks.

[0045] The power output circuit 40 includes a fourth capacitor C4 and a fifth capacitor C5. The first terminal of the fourth capacitor C4 is connected to the power output terminal 401, and the second terminal of the fourth capacitor C4 is grounded. The first terminal of the fifth capacitor C5 is connected to the first terminal of the fourth capacitor C4 and the constant current source circuit 30, and the second terminal of the fifth capacitor C5 is grounded. In some examples, the fourth capacitor C4 is a low-frequency filter capacitor, and the fifth capacitor C5 is a high-frequency filter capacitor, used to achieve filtering, energy storage, and stable output to improve power quality and reduce the risk of system failure.

[0046] In some examples, power input terminal 101 provides an input voltage V_IN of 3.3V, and power output terminal 401 outputs an output voltage V_OUT of 1.8V. The 1.8V output voltage from power output terminal 401 can be output by following the 3.3V input voltage from power input terminal 101 through voltage follower control circuit 20 and constant current source circuit 30. Accordingly, Figure 3 The parameters of some electrical components in the power rail circuit 100 shown are as follows: C1-0.01μ; C2-10μ; C3-0.01μ; C4-0.01μ; C5-10μ; R11-10kΩ; R12-16.5kΩ; R2-10kΩ; R31-1.5Ω; R32-1.5Ω; R4-10kΩ; R5-10kΩ; R6-10kΩ; R7-240Ω; R8-22kΩ; R9-33Ω; R10 can be a load.

[0047] Among them, V_IN starts at 3.3V. As the input voltage rises, V_S_IN rises with the input voltage V_IN after being divided by resistors. When V_IN = 3.3V, V_S_IN finally reaches:

[0048]

[0049] The initial voltage at the negative input terminal of operational amplifier U1 is 0V. The voltage V_S_IN at the positive input terminal of operational amplifier U1 increases as the input voltage V_IN rises, and the voltage V_OP_OUT at the output terminal of operational amplifier U1 also rises accordingly, outputting to the input terminal of constant current source circuit 30, which outputs to V_OUT. Specifically, the voltage V_FB at the second preset node 3101 at the negative input terminal of operational amplifier U1 rises as the output voltage V_OUT output from power supply output terminal 401 rises. When V_FB rises to V_S_IN, the entire loop reaches stability. At this point:

[0050]

[0051] The current limit of the constant current source circuit 30 is I_(R31+R32), and its magnitude is Vbe / (R31+R32). For example... Figure 2 As shown, when the output current I_OUT output by the power supply output terminal 401 is greater than the current limiting current I_R3 of the constant current source circuit 30, Vbe(Q2)=V(R31+R32)=I_OUT*(R31+R32) increases accordingly, the transistor operates in the amplification region, Ice(Q2)=βIbe(Q2) also increases accordingly, at this time Ibe(Q1)=Is_out-Ice(Q2), that is, Ibe(Q1) decreases in the reverse direction. At this time, I_OUT=Ice(Q1)=βIbe(Q1) can also decrease accordingly.

[0052] Furthermore, the output voltage (V_OUT) of 1.8V output from power output terminal 401 follows the input voltage (V_IN) of 3.3V input from power input terminal 101. Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the effect of voltage following changes in an embodiment of this application. It can be seen that the output voltage V_OUT changes in the same trend as the input voltage V_IN. The output voltage V_OUT increases as the input voltage V_IN increases, and the output voltage V_OUT decreases as the input voltage V_IN decreases.

[0053] Please see Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the power supply structure according to an embodiment of this application. The power supply 500 includes at least one of the above-described power rail circuits 100, wherein the power rail circuits 100 enable the output voltage to change in accordance with the changes in the input voltage, thereby enabling the power supply 500 to meet the timing requirements of complex multi-power rails.

Alternatively, chip 600 includes the aforementioned power supply 500, as shown in [example]. Figure 6 As shown in (b) of the diagram. The output voltage changes in accordance with the input voltage through the power rail circuit 100 or the power supply 500, thereby enabling the chip 600 to meet the timing requirements of complex multi-power rails and improving its operating performance.
