Anti-tie-in driving circuit
[0001] Cross Reference to Related Applications
[0002] The present disclosure claims priority to the Chinese Patent Application No. 202410834500.9, filed on June 26, 2024, and entitled “Anti-tie-in driving circuit”, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. TECHNICAL FIELD
[0003] Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to the technical field of integrated circuits, and in particular, to an anti-tie-in driving circuit. BACKGROUND
[0004] At present, in a Buck circuit of a step-down converter, when the upper power transistor is turned on, the lower power transistor needs to be detected to be turned off before the upper power transistor is turned on; when the lower power transistor is turned on, the upper power transistor needs to be detected to be turned off before the lower power transistor is turned on; in this way, a dead zone is formed to avoid the upper and lower power transistors being turned on at the same time.
[0005] As shown in FIG. 1, in the application of a driving chip DRIVIER, some applications will add a resistor R0 between the gate (control electrode) GATE of the power transistor and the DRIVIER in order to reduce the driving speed of the power transistor. At this time, the voltage feedback signal of the upper / lower power transistor detected inside the DRIVIER chip has a certain delay from the voltage at the GATE of the power transistor, and cannot correctly reflect whether the power transistor is turned on, which may cause the upper and lower power transistors to be tied in. The following will be specifically described in combination with a waveform diagram.
[0006] FIG. 2 is a working waveform when the two ends of R0 in FIG. 1 are short-circuited, and FIG. 3 is a working waveform when the two ends of R0 in FIG. 1 are not short-circuited. hson is an internal control signal of the DRIVIER chip, when hson = H, the upper power transistor is required to be turned on and the lower power transistor is required to be turned off; when hson = L, the lower power transistor is required to be turned on and the upper power transistor is required to be turned off; when the gate-source voltage of the power transistor (HS, LS) is greater than the threshold voltage, i.e., VGS < VTH, the power transistor is turned off, and vice versa.
[0007] In FIG. 2, the voltage of DRVLA and DRVLB is the same, and the voltage of DRVHA and DRVHB is the same. At this time, the working principle corresponding to FIG. 1 is as follows: when the upper tube HS is turned on, the internal control signal hson changes from L to H, the lower tube driving signal DRVLA quickly changes to low, after the voltage of DRVLA is less than VTH, the lower tube LS is turned off, and after time t0, the upper tube driving signal DRVHA quickly changes to high, and the upper tube HS is turned on; similarly, when the lower tube LS is turned on, the internal control signal hson changes from H to L, the upper tube driving signal DRVHA quickly changes to low, after the voltage difference between DRVHA and SW is less than VTH, the upper tube HS is turned off, and after time t1, the lower tube driving signal DRVLA quickly changes to high, and the lower tube LS is turned on; thus, in time t0 and t1, a dead zone is generated, and the simultaneous turning on of the upper and lower tubes is avoided.
[0008] In FIG. 3, due to the resistance R0, DRVLB has a certain delay compared with DRVLA, and similarly, DRVHB has a certain delay compared with DRVHA. At this time, the working principle corresponding to FIG. 1 is as follows: when the upper tube HS is turned on, the internal control signal hson changes from L to H, the lower tube driving signal DRVLA quickly changes to low, and due to the resistance R0, DRVLB slowly changes to low, after the voltage of DRVLA is less than VTH, the lower tube LS is turned off, after time t0, the upper tube driving signal DRVHA quickly changes to high, and at this time, due to the resistance R0, DRVHB slowly rises, which will cause the voltage of DRVHB and the voltage of DRVLB to be both greater than VTH in time tove rlap1, and the simultaneous turning on of the upper and lower tubes occurs. Similarly, when the lower tube LS is turned on, it will cause the voltage of DRVHB and the voltage of DRVLB to be both greater than VTH in time tove rlap2, and the simultaneous turning on of the upper and lower tubes also occurs.
[0009] For the simultaneous turning on of the upper and lower tubes in FIG. 3, the existing technical solution is to increase a fixed dead zone time t0 / t1 long enough to avoid the simultaneous turning on of the upper and lower tubes. The specific circuit diagram is shown in FIG. 4, wherein the working principle of the rising delay circuit is that when the input signal changes from L to H, it will be delayed for a period of time to change to H, and when the input signal changes from H to L, it will immediately change to low; the delay of the two rising delay circuits in FIG. 4 is t0 and t1 respectively. FIG. 5 is a working waveform diagram corresponding to FIG. 4, wherein when hson changes from L to H, DRVLA immediately changes from H to L, and DRVHA needs to change to high after DRVLA changes to low with a delay of t0; similarly, when hson changes from H to L, DRVLA needs to change to high after DRVHA changes to low with a delay of t1.
[0010] For the solution of FIG. 4, the inventor finds that, due to the uncertainty of the size of the resistance R0, simply increasing the dead time t0 / t1, in combination with FIG. 3, it can be seen that, when the resistance R0 is small, the dead time during normal operation will be increased as a whole, affecting the system efficiency; when the resistance R0 is large, t0>trc1 and t1>trc2 need to be ensured to ensure the existence of the dead zone and avoid the upper and lower tubes from being in series; when the resistance R0 is particularly large, due to the insufficiency of t0 and t1, the upper and lower tubes will be in series.
[0011] In summary, how to better solve the problem of causing the upper and lower tubes to be in series in order to reduce the driving speed of the power tube in the application of the driving chip DRIVIER is urgently needed to be solved. SUMMARY

[0039] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of, but not all of the embodiments of the present disclosure. Based on the described embodiments of the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort belong to the scope of the present disclosure.
[0040] Unless otherwise defined, all terms (including technical and scientific terms) used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this present subject matter belongs. It will be further understood that terms, such as those defined in commonly used dictionaries, should be interpreted as having a meaning that is consistent with their meaning in the context of the specification and relevant art and will not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense unless expressly so defined herein. As used herein, the statement that two or more parts are "connected" or "coupled" together refer to an indirect or direct connection or coupling.
[0041] In all embodiments of the present disclosure, since the source and drain of a metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) transistor are symmetrical, and the conduction current directions between the source and drain of an N-type transistor and a P-type transistor are opposite, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the controlled middle terminal of the MOS transistor is referred to as a control terminal, and the remaining two terminals of the MOS transistor are referred to as a first terminal and a second terminal, respectively. In addition, terms such as "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish one component (or part of a component) from another component (or another part of a component).
[0042] In order to better solve the problem of the upper and lower power tubes being turned on at the same time caused by the low driving speed of the power tube in the application of the driving chip DRIVIER, a new anti-serial driving circuit structure is proposed. The anti-serial driving circuit of the embodiment of the disclosure is through sampling the information of the switch node SW to make the upper tube or the lower tube conductive at the moment, and adaptively generates the smallest dead zone to avoid the upper and lower tubes being turned on at the same time. The anti-serial driving circuit 100 of the disclosure will be described in detail below.
[0043] First of all, it needs to be pointed out that, as shown in FIG. 6, the driving circuit in the embodiment of the disclosure is used to drive the upper power tube HS and the lower power tube LS of the switching power supply, and the driving circuit is coupled with the control poles of the upper power tube HS and the lower power tube LS through resistors R, respectively. The driving circuit is used to generate the upper power tube driving signal DRVHA and the lower power driving signal DRVLA. In addition, FIG. 6 also shows other devices in the switching power supply, such as inductors L, capacitors C, and loads load.
[0044] FIG. 6 shows a schematic block diagram of the anti-serial driving circuit 100 of the embodiment of the disclosure. As shown in FIG. 6, the anti-serial driving circuit 100 includes a node detection circuit 110 and a first logic control circuit 120.
[0045] Among them, the node detection circuit 110 is configured to detect the voltage of the switch node SW, and generate a level indication signal SWout according to the voltage of the switch node SW. The level indication signal SWout includes a high level indication signal (H) and a low level indication signal (L).

The upper-tube-on signal hson is an indication signal for turning on the upper power tube HS generated by the switching power supply and received by the driving circuit. The first logic control circuit 120 includes a first logic control module and a second logic control module. The first logic control module is configured to generate the upper tube driving signal DRVHA according to the upper-tube-on signal hson and the level indication signal SWout, so that the upper tube driving signal DRVHA is high when the upper-tube-on signal hson changes from low to high and the level indication signal SWout is high. The second logic control module is configured to generate the lower tube driving signal DRVLA according to the upper-tube-on signal hson and the level indication signal SWout, so that the lower tube driving signal DRVLA is high when the upper-tube-on signal hson changes from high to low and the level indication signal SWout is high.
[0047] Further, as shown in FIG. 7, the first logic control module 121 includes a first to third NOT gate (NOT1-NOT3), a first NAND gate NAND1, and a first to third NOR gate (NOR1-NOR3). The input end of the first NOT gate NOT1 is coupled to the upper-tube-on signal hson and the first input end of the first NAND gate NAND1, and the output end of the first NOT gate NOT1 is coupled to the first input end of the first NOR gate NOR1. The second input end of the first NAND gate NAND1 is coupled to the level indication signal SWout, the output end of the first NAND gate NAND1 is coupled to the input end of the second NOT gate NOT2, and the output end of the second NOT gate NOT2 is coupled to the first input end of the second NOR gate NOR2. The second input end of the first NOR gate NOR1 is coupled to the output end of the second NOR gate NOR2, the output end of the first NOR gate NOR1 is coupled to the second input end of the second NOR gate NOR2 and the input end of the third NOT gate NOT3, and the output end of the third NOT gate NOT3 is coupled to the first input end of the third NOR gate NOR3. The second input end of the third NOR gate NOR3 is coupled to the lower tube driving signal DRVLA output by the second logic control module 122, and the output end of the third NOR gate NOR3 outputs the upper tube driving signal DRVHA.
[0048] As shown in FIG. 7, the second logic control module 122 comprises: fourth to fifth NOT gates (NOT4, NOT5), fourth to seventh NOR gates (NOR4-NOR7), wherein the input end of the fourth NOT gate NOT4 is coupled with the level indication signal SWout, the output end of the fourth NOT gate NOT4 is coupled with the first input end of the fourth NOR gate NOR4; the second input end of the fourth NOR gate NOR4 is coupled with the on-off tube signal hson and the first input end of the fifth NOR gate NOR5 respectively, the output end of the fourth NOR gate NOR4 is coupled with the first input end of the sixth NOR gate NOR6; the second input end of the fifth NOR gate NOR5 is coupled with the output end of the sixth NOR gate NOR6, the output end of the fifth NOR gate NOR5 is coupled with the second input end of the sixth NOR gate NOR6 and the input end of the fifth NOT gate NOT5 respectively, the output end of the fifth NOT gate NOT5 is coupled with the first input end of the seventh NOR gate NOR7; the second input end of the seventh NOR gate NOR7 is coupled with the on-off tube driving signal DRVHA output by the first logic control module 121, and the output end of the seventh NOR gate NOR7 outputs the off-tube driving signal DRVLA.
[0049] Further, as shown in FIG. 8, the node detection circuit 110 comprises: a first negative detection circuit 111, wherein the first negative detection circuit 111 is configured to detect the voltage of the switching node SW, and output the level indication signal SWout according to the positive and negative of the voltage of the switching node SW, and when the voltage of the switching node SW is negative, the level indication signal SWout is a high level indication signal, otherwise the level indication signal SWout is a low level indication signal. The design theory of the first negative detection circuit 111 in the embodiment of the present disclosure is explained in combination with FIG. 6: when the upper power tube HS is turned on, the current flows from HS, passes through Lout to Vout, when the upper power tube HS is turned off, HS is not conductive, LS is not conductive, when the two power tubes are not conductive at the same time, because the inductance current will not change suddenly, the voltage of the SW point can only be negative, therefore, when VSW (the voltage of the switching node SW) is detected to be negative, it can be determined that the upper and lower tubes are not conductive, at this time, the upper tube or the lower tube can be turned on, to prevent the upper and lower tubes from being turned on, therefore, detecting that the voltage of the switching node SW is negative can be used as a judgment condition for turning on the upper tube or the lower tube. In addition, it should be noted that in theory, the first negative detection circuit 111 compares VSW with zero voltage when judging the positive and negative of the voltage of the switching node SW, but in actual application, because VSW is negative, the corresponding voltage is -VD, wherein D is the voltage drop of the body diode of the lower power tube LS, in order to detect conveniently and accurately, the first negative detection circuit 111 can be set to compare VSW with a voltage value between 0 and -VD, such as -VD / 2, -VD / 3, etc.
[0050] The principle of the anti-crossing drive circuit in the embodiment of the present disclosure is described below in combination with FIGS. 6-8: 1) when hson changes from L to H, DRVLA is set to L, at this time, due to the resistor R, DRVLB slowly decreases, when DRVLB is less than VTH (the threshold voltage of LS), LS is off, at this time, HS is also in the off state, due to the need for the body diode of LS to continue to flow, VSW≈-VD<0, according to the detection principle of the first negative detection circuit 111, when VSW<0, SWout is a high-level indication signal, that is, SWout=H, then DRVLA=H, and then DRVLB slowly rises, and LS is turned on; 2) when hson changes from H to L, DRVHA is set to L, at this time, due to the resistor R, DRVHB slowly decreases, when DRVHB is less than VTH, HS is off, at this time, LS is also in the off state, due to the need for the body diode of LS to continue to flow, VSW≈-VD<0, according to the detection principle of the first negative detection circuit 111, when VSW<0, SWout is a high-level indication signal, that is, SWout=H, then DRVLA=H, and then DRVLB slowly rises, and LS is turned on.
[0051] In summary, it can be obtained that: when hson changes from L to H, the following conditions need to be met: ① DRVLA is detected to be low; ② the body diode of the lower tube continues to flow; and the upper tube can be turned on; when hson changes from H to L, the following conditions need to be met: ① DRVHA is detected to be low; ② the body diode of the lower tube continues to flow; and the lower tube can be turned on.
[0052] Further, the working waveform diagram corresponding to the anti-crossing drive circuit 100 in the above embodiment is shown in FIG. 9, from top to bottom, it is the waveform diagram of hson, DRVHA, DRVHB, DRVLA, DRVLB, VSW, and the inductance current IL, respectively, t2 and t3 are dead time, from FIG. 9, it can be seen that the anti-crossing drive circuit 100 in the embodiment of the present disclosure reduces the dead time under the premise of avoiding the crossing of the upper and lower tubes.
[0053] For the above embodiment, when the load is small or the inductance current is negative, there is a possibility that HS and LS are closed at the same time, that is, IL can be less than or equal to 0, which will not trigger VSW≈-VD<0, that is, the above embodiment is suitable for heavy load and works in the continuous conduction mode (CCM mode), but is not suitable for small load or negative inductance current.
[0054] In order to solve the problem that the above embodiment is not suitable for small load or negative inductance current, first, all situations of VSW changing with the inductance current (as shown in FIG. 10) are analyzed, and another structure of the node detection circuit 110 is proposed based on the analysis.
[0055] As shown in Fig. 10, there are six cases:
[0056] Among them, when LS is off to HS is on, there are three cases:
[0057] I. IL > 0. Because of the early trigger of zero-crossing detection, DRVLB is low to turn off LS, at this time IL > 0A, the body diode of LS needs to continue to flow, SW can detect a negative pulse, SW ≈ -VD < 0; therefore, after detecting the body diode of LS continues to flow (VSW < 0), as long as hson changes from L to H, HS can be turned on immediately;
[0058] II. IL = 0. Because of the trigger of zero-crossing detection, DRVLB is low to turn off LS, at this time IL = 0A, the body diode of LS does not need to continue to flow, and VSW will be lifted to Vout by Vout through inductor L; therefore, after detecting VSW > 0, as long as hson changes from L to H, HS can be turned on immediately.
[0059] III. IL < 0. Because of the late trigger of zero-crossing detection, DRVLB is low to turn off LS, at this time IL < 0A, IL will lift VSW to Vin+VD until the energy in the inductor is exhausted, so that SW slowly decreases to Vout; therefore, after detecting VSW > 0, as long as hson changes from L to H, HS can be turned on immediately.
[0060] When HS is off to LS is on, there are three other cases:
[0061] IV. IL > 0. When HS is off, because IL > 0A at this time, if LS is not turned on at this time, SW can detect a negative pulse, VSW ≈ -VD < 0, and the body diode of LS continues to flow; therefore, after detecting the body diode of LS continues to flow (VSW < 0), as long as hson changes from H to L, LS can be turned on immediately.
[0062] V. IL = 0. When HS is off, because IL = 0A at this time, if LS is not turned on at this time, VSW is still equal to Vin, and then VSW will be slowly pulled down by Vout; therefore, after detecting SW < Vin, as long as hson changes from H to L, LS can be turned on immediately.
[0063] VI. IL < 0. When HS is off, because IL < 0A at this time, if LS is not turned on at this time, SW ≈ Vin+VD > Vin, and the body diode of HS continues to flow; therefore, after detecting the body diode of HS continues to flow (SW > Vin), as long as hson changes from H to L, LS can be turned on immediately.

[0074] The anti-connection driving circuit corresponding to FIGS. 6, 7 and 11 is different from the anti-connection driving circuit corresponding to FIGS. 6-8 in that the node detection circuit 110, that is, the condition for making the SWout a high level indication signal is different, but the other logics are the same.
[0075] In summary, the working principle of the anti-connection driving circuit corresponding to FIGS. 6, 7 and 11 can be obtained as follows: after the hson changes from L to H, the following conditions need to be met to turn on the lower power tube:
[0076] ① detect DRVLA goes low;

[0082] ② a. detect SW < 0, the lower power tube is in body diode freewheeling;
[0083] b. detect SW < Vin, Vout discharges SW;
[0084] c. detect SW > Vin, Vout charges SW;
[0085] One of a / b / c is met, condition ② is true.
[0086] In summary, the anti-parallel circuit corresponding to FIGS. 6, 7, and 11 can also reduce the dead time under the premise of avoiding the parallel of the upper and lower tubes, and is suitable for not only heavy load conditions but also light load conditions, and is suitable for both CCM and DCM modes.
[0087] In addition, in the foregoing embodiments, the voltage of the switch node SW needs to be detected, but in actual application, the parasitic capacitance of the SW node may be too large, causing VSW to change slowly and the VSW change information to be undetectable. To address this situation, the embodiment of the present disclosure adds a dead time limiting circuit 130 and a fourth OR gate OR4 on the basis of the foregoing embodiments, as shown in FIG. 12. Specifically, the dead time limiting circuit 130 is coupled to the first logic control circuit 120 and is configured to generate a first pulse signal dly1 after a first time delay after the upper tube opening signal hson changes from low to high, and generate a second pulse signal dly2 after a second time delay after the upper tube opening signal hson changes from high to low. The dead time limiting circuit 130 in the embodiment of the present disclosure is used to limit the maximum dead time.
[0088] The fourth OR gate OR4 is coupled to the first logic control circuit 120 and is configured to provide a high-level indication signal to the first logic control circuit 120 from the first pulse signal dly1 or the second pulse signal dly2 when the level indication signal SWout is low.
[0089] Further, as shown in FIG. 13, the dead time limiting circuit 130 includes a twelfth NOT gate NOT12, a thirteenth NOT gate NOT13, a first delay circuit 131, a second delay circuit 132, a sixth one-shot circuit oneshot6, and a seventh one-shot circuit oneshot7. The input terminal of the twelfth NOT gate NOT12 is coupled to the upper tube driving signal DRVHA, the output terminal of the twelfth NOT gate NOT12 is coupled to the input terminal of the first delay circuit 131, the output terminal of the first delay circuit 131 is coupled to the input terminal of the sixth one-shot circuit oneshot6, and the output terminal of the sixth one-shot circuit oneshot6 outputs a first pulse signal dly1. The input terminal of the thirteenth NOT gate NOT13 is coupled to the lower tube driving signal DRVLA, the output terminal of the thirteenth NOT gate NOT13 is coupled to the input terminal of the second delay circuit 132, the output terminal of the second delay circuit 132 is coupled to the input terminal of the seventh one-shot circuit oneshot7, and the output terminal of the seventh one-shot circuit oneshot7 outputs a second pulse signal dly2. The sixth one-shot circuit oneshot6 and the seventh one-shot circuit oneshot7 are configured to generate a pulse signal, for example, a 5 ns pulse signal, when detecting a rising edge of an input signal.
[0090] The working principle of the anti-crossing driving circuit 100 in the embodiment of the present disclosure is described in combination with the circuit diagrams in FIGS. 12 and 13. It is assumed that the delay of the first delay circuit 131 is T1 and the delay of the second delay circuit 132 is T2. After hson changes from L to H, DRVLA becomes low, and after passing through the second delay circuit 132, it is delayed by T2 to generate the second pulse signal dly2. If SWout = H (the parasitic capacitance of the SW node is not large, and the change speed of VSW is fast, so that the VSW change information can be detected, and the condition for making SWout high in the foregoing embodiment is met), it is indicated that DRVHA has become high. If SWout = L (the parasitic capacitance of the SW node is too large, so that the change of VSW is very slow, and the SW change information cannot be detected, and SWout is always L), DRVHA is set to H by the pulse signal of dly2. Similarly, after hson changes from H to L, DRVHA becomes low, and after passing through the first delay circuit 131, it is delayed by T1 to generate the first pulse signal dly1. If SWout = H (the parasitic capacitance of the SW node is not large, and the change speed of VSW is fast, so that the VSW change information can be detected, and the condition for making SWout high in the foregoing embodiment is met), it is indicated that DRVLA has become high. If SWout = L (the parasitic capacitance of the SW node is too large, so that the change of VSW is very slow, and the SW change information cannot be detected, and SWout is always L), DRVLA is set to high by the pulse signal of dly1.
[0091] Further, FIG. 14 and 15 respectively show the corresponding waveform diagrams in the case of too large SW node parasitic capacitance and the case of not too large SW node parasitic capacitance. Wherein, T1 and T2 are the corresponding delays of the first delay circuit 131 and the second delay circuit 132 respectively, in FIG. 14, it can be seen that SWout is always low, after hson changes from L to H, T2 time is passed, making DRVHA flip high; after hson changes from H to L, T1 time is passed, making DRVLA flip high. The actual dead time in FIG. 14 is t4, t5. It should be noted that in actual application, in order to minimize the dead time t4, t5, the capacitance of the SW node needs to be known, and T1, T2 needs to be reasonably configured.
[0092] In FIG. 15, after hson changes from L to H, SWout will change high when the condition of making SWout high in the foregoing embodiment is met, and when SWout is high, DRVHA is flipped high; after hson changes from H to L, SWout will change high when the condition of making SWout high in the foregoing embodiment is met, and when SWout is high, DRVLA is flipped high. The actual dead time in FIG. 15 is t6, t7.
[0093] In summary, the anti-creep driving circuit 100 in the embodiment of the present disclosure reduces the dead time under the premise of avoiding the creep of the upper and lower tubes.
