[0032] OVP rise =VREF×(R2+R7) / R7;

[0037] When NMOS transistor Q1 is turned off

[0038] UVLO rise =VREF×(R5+R6+R1) / R1.

[0039] Comparators U2A and U2B compare the magnitudes of the non-inverting input voltage (IN+ terminal) and the inverting input voltage (IN- terminal), outputting either a high or low level at their output terminals (OUT terminals). When the non-inverting input voltage is higher than the inverting input voltage, the OUT terminal of the comparator outputs a high level; when the non-inverting input voltage is lower than the inverting input voltage, the OUT terminal outputs a low level.

[0040] Overvoltage protection methods are as follows:

[0041] When the voltage V at the power input terminal POWER_IN In UVLO fall With OVP rise During this period, PMOS transistor Q2 is on, and the load operates normally. When the input voltage changes higher than OVP... rise When the overvoltage protection is activated, PMOS transistor Q2 (power switch transistor) is turned off, the power output is shut off, and the load stops working.

[0042] If the voltage V at the power input terminal POWER_IN Pullback to lower, below OVP fall When the power switch is activated, PMOS transistor Q2 (power switch transistor) turns on, opening the power output and restoring the load to normal operation.

[0043] Overvoltage hysteresis = OVP rise -OVP fall .

[0044] The operating principle of the overvoltage protection circuit is analyzed as follows:

[0045] When the voltage V at the power input terminal POWER_IN In UVLO fall With OVP rise When the voltage is between these two values, the voltage detected at the inverting input of comparator U2A is V. POWER_IN *{R7 / (R7+R2)}, the voltage monitored at the non-inverting input of comparator U2A is VREF. Since the voltage at the non-inverting input is greater than the detection voltage at the inverting input, the output of comparator U2A is high. The gates of NMOS transistors Q1, Q3, and Q4 are turned on due to the high-level load. The drain and source of NMOS transistor Q4 are grounded, and the gate of PMOS transistor Q2 is turned on due to the low-level load. The load is powered on and operates.

[0046] When the voltage at the power input terminal changes upward and exceeds OVP rise When the voltage at the inverting input of comparator U2A is higher than the reference power supply VREF at the non-inverting input, the output of comparator U2A is low. The gates of NMOS transistors Q1, Q3, and Q4 are cut off due to the low voltage applied. The drain and source of NMOS transistor Q4 are cut off, and the gate of PMOS transistor Q2 is cut off due to the high voltage applied. The load is de-energized and does not work.

[0047] When the voltage at the power input terminal drops, the overvoltage / overvoltage hysteresis adjustment phase begins. At this time, the voltage detected at the inverting input terminal of comparator U2A is V. POWER_INWhen the voltage at the inverting input of comparator U2A is lower than the reference power supply VREF at the non-inverting input, the output of comparator U2A is high. The gates of NMOS transistors Q1, Q3, and Q4 are turned on due to the high level applied. The drain and source of NMOS transistor Q4 are grounded. The gate of PMOS transistor Q2 is turned on due to the low level applied. The load is powered on and works.

[0048] The undervoltage protection method is as follows:

[0049] When the voltage V at the power input terminal POWER_IN It changes downwards and is below UVLO. fall When the undervoltage protection trips, PMOS transistor Q2 is cut off, shutting down the power output and stopping the load from operating. If the input voltage is high and the trip is higher than UVLO, the protection will trip. rise When this occurs, PMOS transistor Q2 turns on, opening the power output and restoring the load to normal operation. Undervoltage hysteresis = UVLO rise -UVLO fall .

[0050] The operating principle of the undervoltage protection circuit is analyzed as follows:

[0051] When the voltage V at the power input terminal POWER_IN In UVLO fall With OVP rise When the voltage is between these two points, the non-inverting input of comparator U2B detects a voltage of V. POWER_IN *{R1 / (R1+R5)}, the voltage at the inverting input is VREF. Since the voltage at the non-inverting input is greater than the voltage at the inverting input, the output of comparator U2B is high. The gates of NMOS transistors Q1, Q3, and Q4 are turned on due to the high level applied. The drain and source of NMOS transistor Q4 are grounded, and the gate of PMOS transistor Q2 is turned on with a low level applied, thus powering on the load.

[0052] When the voltage at the power input terminal changes downward and falls below UVLO fall When the voltage detected at the non-inverting input of comparator U2B is lower than the reference power supply VREF at the inverting input, the output of comparator U2B outputs a low level. The gates of NMOS transistors Q1, Q3, and Q4 are cut off due to the low-level load. The drain and source of NMOS transistor Q4 are cut off, and the gate of PMOS transistor Q2 is cut off due to the high voltage load. The load is de-energized and does not work.

[0053] When the input voltage rises and then falls back, the undervoltage hysteresis adjustment phase begins. At this time, the detection voltage at the non-inverting input of comparator U2B is V. POWER_INWhen the voltage at the non-inverting input terminal is greater than the reference power supply VREF at the inverting input terminal, the output terminal of comparator U2B outputs a high level. The gates of NMOS transistors Q1, Q3, and Q4 are turned on due to the high level applied. The drain and source of NMOS transistor Q4 are grounded. The gate of PMOS transistor Q2 is turned on due to the low level applied. The load is powered on and works.

[0054] In this application, the DC voltage range at the power input terminal is 10-15V, and the undervoltage turn-on voltage is UVLO. rise Set to 10.13V, undervoltage cutoff voltage UVLO fa11 Set to 10.03V, overvoltage cutoff voltage OVP rise Set to 14.95V, overvoltage turn-on voltage (OVP) fa11 The voltage is set to 14.47V. Capacitors C1 and C2 have a capacitance of 10uF / 25V. Resistors R1 and R7 are 2.49KΩ, R2 is 28KΩ, R3 is 5.1KΩ, R4, R10, and R12 are 10KΩ, R5 is 7.5KΩ, R6 and R8 are 100Ω, R9 is 0Ω, and R11 is 1KΩ. PMOS transistor Q2 is a CJAE10P06, NMOS transistors Q1, Q3, and Q4 are CJ2310, the reference voltage source U1 is a CJ431D-N3A-ARG, and comparators U2A and U2B are LM393.
