Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of interface circuit technology, specifically to a standard interface communication circuit that can be powered bidirectionally. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with the rapid development of electronic technology and the increasing diversification of social needs, the operational stability and functional expandability of electronic products have become core competitive indicators in the industry. Especially in application scenarios such as mobile terminals and IoT devices, the continuous reliability of system power supply is crucial. Traditional electronic devices typically rely on a single power source, posing a risk of power outages. While existing main / secondary power switching technologies can achieve basic power supply switching, they still have significant shortcomings in terms of switching speed, power supply stability, and functional integration.

[0003] Current mainstream main / slave power switching circuits mostly use relays or ordinary diodes to achieve power path switching. These solutions suffer from high response delays and are prone to voltage drops during switching, potentially leading to brief system power outages or restarts. Furthermore, existing technologies generally lack intelligent power identification capabilities, failing to dynamically adjust power supply strategies based on power status. For example, when the main power supply is connected, the slave power supply cannot be quickly disconnected to reduce energy consumption; after the main power supply is removed, the slave power supply switching delay may cause power interruptions, making it difficult to meet the requirements of high-reliability scenarios.

[0004] On the other hand, with the accelerating trend of modular design in electronic products, users' demand for flexible expansion of hardware functions is becoming increasingly urgent. However, existing power interface circuits typically only support unidirectional power supply switching, unable to provide reverse power to external devices through the interface, nor possessing data communication capabilities with functional peripherals. To achieve multi-scenario applications, manufacturers often need to add dedicated communication interfaces and power supply modules, leading to increased hardware complexity and costs, and contradicting the design philosophy of green, low-carbon, and highly efficient integration.

[0005] More importantly, traditional solutions lack effective protection against electrostatic discharge (ESD) and voltage fluctuations. When frequently plugging and unplugging the main power supply or peripherals, transient voltage spikes may damage internal circuits. Existing filtering and protection designs often use discrete component stacking, making it difficult to achieve both high-efficiency filtering and anti-interference performance within a limited space, further limiting the reliability and lifespan of the equipment.

[0006] Based on the aforementioned technical bottlenecks, there is an urgent need for an interface circuit design scheme that integrates bidirectional power supply, intelligent power management, data communication, and high reliability protection, in order to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies such as functional singleness, high cost, and low energy efficiency, and meet the comprehensive needs of modern electronic products for power supply stability, functional expandability, and hardware integration.

[0048] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0049] like Figure 1-3As shown, when the main power supply is connected through the Type-C female connector J1, its B7 / A7 and B6 / A6 terminals are connected to the voltage stabilization module via the first resistor R1 and the third resistor R3, respectively. The power identification module detects the input voltage (range of 2500±200mV) through the ADC1 terminal of the microcontroller U2 and determines that it is in the main power supply mode. At this time, the auxiliary power battery compartment interface J2 is reverse cut off through the second diode D2 in the fast switching module, and the power supply is stopped. After the main power supply voltage is filtered by the π-type filter network (C2, FB1, C3) to remove high-frequency noise, it is stepped down to the system operating voltage by the low dropout linear regulator U1. At the same time, the B9 / A9 terminal of the Type-C female connector J1 eliminates the transient impact of plugging and unplugging through the electrostatic protection network composed of the first diode D1 and the third and fourth diodes D3 / D4. The microcontroller U2 establishes data communication with external devices through the IO1 / IO2 terminals.

[0050] When the main power supply is disconnected, the power identification module detects that the voltage is below the threshold, and the microcontroller U2 switches to the auxiliary power supply mode. The battery VBAT of the auxiliary power supply battery compartment interface J2 is forward-biased through the second diode D2. The system is powered by the π-type filter network and the low dropout regulator U1. At the same time, the microcontroller U2 sends commands periodically through the IO1 / IO2 terminals. If the peripheral device responds, bidirectional communication is activated. If the Type-C female connector J1 is connected to an external device, the auxiliary power supply can be reverse-biased through the Type-C female connector J1. The path is isolated by the second diode D2 to isolate the reverse interference between the main and auxiliary power supplies. The electrostatic protection module continuously suppresses the voltage spikes generated by the interface plugging and unplugging, ultimately achieving a highly integrated operation of seamless switching between the main and auxiliary power supplies, bidirectional power supply and communication functions.

[0051] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present utility model.
