Embodiment
Below in conjunction with embodiment and accompanying drawing thereof the present invention is illustrated further.
Now see also Fig. 2, Fig. 2 is the embodiments of the invention schematic diagram.As shown in the figure, described reference signal generator 20 comprises voltage source 22 and pressure drop circuit 26.In voltage source 22, operational amplifier 24 is connected into will the have nothing to do voltage Vref of variations in temperature of voltage follower device and is applied to the end of variable resistor R1, and variable resistor R1 and resistance R 2 branch pressure voltage Vref produce the voltage VIOT of irrelevant variations in temperature.When the change in resistance of variable resistor R1, voltage VIOT also will change.The resistance of variable resistor R1 can the mat fuse or outside fine setting change.Pressure drop circuit 26 comprises bipolarity junction transistor (BJT) 28, it has, and the collection utmost point connects power voltage terminal Vcc, base stage connects voltage source 22 and emitter-base bandgap grading coupling earth terminal GND, provide to the voltage VIOT of the base stage of BJT 28 and after the base stage of BJT 28 and the voltage VBE between the emitter-base bandgap grading subtract each other, on the emitter-base bandgap grading of BJT 28, produce reference signal VTC.Voltage VBE has temperature coefficient TC1, so reference signal VTC also has temperature coefficient TC2.Can be in the hope of temperature coefficient according to reference signal VTC at the value VTC of two different temperatures T1 and T2 (T1) and VTC (T2)
TC2=[VTC(T2)-VTC(T1)]/VTC(T1)
={VIOT-VBE(T2)-[VIOT-VBE(T1)]}/VIOT-VBE(T1)
=[VBE (T2)-VBE (T1)]/VIOT-VBE (T1), formula 2
Wherein VBE (T1) and each representative voltage VBE of VBE (T2) are in the value of temperature T 1 and T2.In formula 2, VBE (T1) and VBE (T2) are definite value, so temperature coefficient TC2 will change with voltage VIOT, in other words, by the resistance that changes variable resistor R1 can regulation voltage VTC temperature coefficient TC2.Voltage amplifies generation signal VOC to electric pressure converter 30 with reference signal VTC.Comparator 36 comparison signal VOC and phase voltage VPH are to produce overcurrent protection signal OCP.Voltage to electric pressure converter 30 in, voltage current adapter 32 is converted to electric current I a with reference signal VTC, current mirror 34 mirror electric current I a produce current Ib=N * Ia and give resistance R b to produce signal VOC.As shown in Figure 2
VOC=Ib×Rb=N×Ia×Rb
=N×(VTC/Ra)×Rb
=N×VTC×Rb/Ra。Formula 3
Set resistance R a and Rb and have identical temperature coefficient TC3, so signal VOC has identical temperature coefficient TC2 with reference signal VTC.
Reference signal generator 20 can produce the reference signal VTC with any temperature coefficient by regulation voltage VIOT; therefore can be used for doing the temperature coefficient of the signal VOC of overcurrent protection at indivedual temperature coefficient adjustment of bridge transistor M2 down; and then the influence of compensation temperature, make that the inductive current value when overcurrent protection takes place is not subjected to Temperature Influence.Reference signal generator 20 is except using overcurrent protection, also can use at other need produce the voltage or the electric current of arbitrary temp coefficient or produce in order to compensation temperature in the application of signal of irrelevant variations in temperature.

TC2=[VTC(T2)-VTC(T1)]/VTC(T1)
={VIOT-VT(T2)-[VIOT-VT(T1)]}/VIOT-VT(T1)
=[VT (T2)-VT (T1)]/VIOT-VT (T1), formula 4
Wherein VT (T1) and VT (T2) respectively represent the value of critical voltage VT at temperature T 1 and T2.In formula 4, VT (T1) and VT (T2) are definite value, so temperature coefficient TC2 will change with voltage VIOT, in other words, by the resistance that changes variable resistor R1 can regulation voltage VTC temperature coefficient TC2.
Fig. 4 shows the 3rd embodiment of reference signal generator 20, and it is to change the BJT in the pressure drop circuit 26 28 into diode 40.In this embodiment, the anode of diode 40 and negative electrode connect voltage source 22 and ground end GND respectively, between the two ends of diode 40, has forward voltage VD, provide voltage VIOT to the anode of diode 40 after the forward voltage VD with diode 40 subtracts each other, on the negative electrode of diode, produce reference signal VTC, because the forward voltage VD of diode 40 has temperature coefficient TC1, so reference signal VTC also has temperature coefficient TC2.As aforementioned, temperature coefficient TC2 changes with voltage VIOT, by the resistance that changes variable resistor R1 can regulation voltage VTC temperature coefficient TC2.
Above embodiment is only for the usefulness that the present invention is described, but not limitation of the present invention, person skilled in the relevant technique under the situation that does not break away from the spirit and scope of the present invention, can also be made various conversion or variation.Therefore, all technical schemes that are equal to also should belong to category of the present invention, should be limited by each claim.
