Description

Overcurrent protection control circuit for level shift circuit
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of liquid crystal panels, in particular to an overcurrent protection control circuit for a level shift circuit.
Background
An Active Matrix liquid Crystal Display device (Active Matrix L acquired Crystal Display, AM L CD) is currently the most commonly used Display device, and includes a plurality of pixels, each pixel having a Thin Film Transistor (TFT), a gate of the TFT being connected to a scan line extending in a horizontal direction, a drain of the TFT being connected to a data line extending in a vertical direction, and a source of the TFT being connected to a corresponding pixel electrode.
Compared with the traditional driving method of manufacturing Integrated Circuits (ICs) outside the liquid crystal display panel through a cmos process, the adoption of the GOA architecture can reduce the process steps, reduce the cost, improve the integration of the liquid crystal display panel, and facilitate the realization of ultra-narrow frames and thinness of the panel, but the adoption of the GOA architecture can increase one level Shift chip (L ev Shift IC) on a circuit driving board (PCBA) to boost a low-voltage driving signal to a high-voltage driving signal so as to Drive TFTs in the liquid crystal panel to work.
A Timing Controller (TCON) disposed on a circuit driving board PCBA, the TCON being used for generating and transmitting control signals such as a start signal and a timing signal; and the level shifting chip is arranged on the circuit driving board PCBA and is used for boosting the voltages of the initial signal and the time sequence signal sent by the time sequence controller. And driving the TFT in the GOA framework liquid crystal display panel by the initial signal and the time sequence signal after the voltage is boosted by the level shift chip.
In addition, the level shift circuit is provided with an Over Current Protection (OCP) circuit to prevent a short circuit between clock signals caused by floating dust particles (particles) in the GOA-architecture liquid crystal display panel, and accordingly, the current increases, the corresponding routing lines also heat, the temperature of the pixel units increases, and the polarizer may be melted.
In order to prevent the above situation, it is common to perform an over-current protection using a Power Management integrated circuit (Power Management IC) terminal or a level shift circuit terminal, wherein the Power Management IC terminal mainly performs the over-current protection for the Voltage (VGH) of the gate driver turning on the TFT and the voltage (VG L) of the gate driver turning off the TFT, and the level shift circuit terminal mainly performs a real-time detection of the current level for each channel, and when a large current occurs, directly turns off the output of the level shift circuit to protect the entire liquid crystal display panel.
However, the currently known overcurrent protection circuit of the power management integrated circuit has insufficient accuracy, and may not protect some micro-short-circuited areas. The level shift circuit protects the whole channel in real time. However, due to the design of the liquid crystal display panel, when the liquid crystal display panel is turned on quickly, the output signal CK generates a large current which changes from small to large or from large to small, and although the display of the liquid crystal display panel is not affected, the overcurrent protection circuit is triggered by mistake.
Therefore, it is desirable to provide a new overcurrent protection control circuit for a level shift circuit.

Referring to fig. 1, a circuit connection diagram of an overcurrent protection control circuit for a level shift circuit according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. The over-current protection control circuit 100 for a level shift circuit includes a first logic unit, a second logic unit, a third logic unit, a fourth logic unit, and a fifth logic unit (not shown).

Specifically, a first input terminal of the first subtractor 110 receives a first detection current IDetection 1A second input terminal of the first subtractor 110 receives a first reference current IReference 1An output end of the first subtractor 110 is electrically connected to the first latch 120, and the first subtractor 110 is configured to detect the first detection current IDetection 1And the first reference current IReference 1The difference is output as a first output value TP1 to the first latch 120. In this embodiment, when the first detection current IDetection 1Is greater than the first reference current IReference 1Then, the first detection current I is judgedDetection 1Is a large current. That is, if the first detection current IDetection 1Is less than the first reference current IReference 1The operation of the subsequent electronic devices such as subtractors, adders, comparators, etc. is not triggered. In addition, the first reference current IReference 1Is arranged to indicate when the first detected current I isDetection 1Is greater than the first reference current IReference 1Then the first detection current IDetection 1When the first detection current I is a large current (set to a large current caused by short circuit trigger)Detection 1Is less than the first reference current IReference 1Then the first detection current IDetection 1Normal current or low current.
The first latch 120 is configured to buffer the received first output value TP1 and output the buffered first output value TP1 to the first adder 130 and the second subtractor 150, respectively. For example, if the first output value TP1 is a current of 9 amperes, the first latch 120 outputs a current of 9 amperes. The first latch 120 can maintain a time difference (for example, the time difference is 2 milliseconds) between the first detection current and the second detection current, thereby further ensuring the reliability of the entire detection.
A first input terminal of the first adder is electrically connected to an output terminal of the first latch 120, and a second input terminal of the first adder receives a first error current IError 1An output end of the first adder is electrically connected to the first comparator 140, and the first adder is configured to combine the first output value TP1 and the first error current IError 1The sum is output as a second output value TP2 to the first comparator 140. Wherein the first error current IError 1Is equal to the first reference current IReference 1Multiplied by a first error coefficient. The first error current IError 1A very small error current value. For example, the first reference current IReference 1Is 1 ampere, and the first detection current IDetection 110 amperes, the first error current IError 1Equal to 1 × 0.15 ═ 0.15 ampere, where 0.15 is the first error factor.

Wherein the second error current IError 2Equal to the product of the second reference current and a second error coefficient. The second error current IError 2A very small error current value. For example, if the second reference current is 1 ampere, the second error isDifferential current IError 2Equal to 1 × 0.1 ═ 0.1 ampere, where 0.1 is the second error factor. In this embodiment, the second error current IError 2Is equal to the first error current IError 1. In some other embodiments, the second error current IError 2May not be equal to the first error current IError 1. In addition, the second reference current is set equal to the first reference current IReference 1Of course, in other embodiments, the second reference current may not be equal to the first reference current.
A first input terminal of the third subtractor 170 receives a second detection current IDetection 2A second input terminal of the third subtractor 170 receives a second reference current IReference 2An output end of the third subtractor 170 is electrically connected to the first comparator 140 and the second comparator 160, respectively, and the third subtractor 170 is configured to detect the second detection current IDetection 2And the second reference current IReference 2The difference is output as a fourth output value TP4 to the first comparator 140 and the second comparator 160, respectively; wherein the received second detection current IDetection 2Is at the received first detection current IDetection 1And obtained after a preset time period. The preset time period may be, for example, 1 ms, but is not limited thereto. In addition, the second reference current IReference 2Is arranged to indicate when the second detected current I isDetection 2Is greater than the second reference current IReference 2Then the second detection current IDetection 2For a large current, when the second detection current IDetection 2Is less than the second reference current IReference 2Then the second detection current IDetection 2Normal current or low current.
The first input terminal of the first comparator 140 receives the second output value TP2, the second input terminal of the first comparator 140 receives the fourth output value TP4, the output terminal of the first comparator 140 is electrically connected to the first input terminal of the and circuit 180, and the first comparator 140 is configured to compare the second output value TP2 with the fourth output value TP4, and output the comparison result to the and circuit 180 as the first comparison value a.
The first input of the second comparator 160 receives the fourth output value TP4, the second input of the second comparator 160 receives the third output value TP3, the output of the second comparator 160 is electrically connected to the second input of the and circuit 180, and the second comparator 160 is configured to compare the fourth output value TP4 with the third output value TP3, and output the comparison result as a second comparison value B to the and circuit 180.
The first input end of the and circuit 180 receives the first comparison value a, the second input end of the and circuit 180 receives the second comparison value B, the output end of the and circuit 180 is electrically connected to the overcurrent protection circuit, and the and circuit 180 is configured to compare the first comparison value a with the second comparison value B, and determine whether to trigger the overcurrent protection circuit according to a comparison result.
In this embodiment, when the second output value TP2 is greater than the fourth output value TP4, the output of the first comparator 140 is at a high level. When the second output value TP2 is less than the fourth output value TP4, then the first comparator 140 output is low.
When the third output value TP3 is greater than the fourth output value TP4, the second comparator 160 output is high. When the third output value TP3 is greater than the fourth output value TP4, the second comparator 160 output is low.
When the first input end and the second input end of the and-gate circuit 180 both receive a high level, the output end of the and-gate circuit 180 outputs the high level and triggers the over-current protection circuit. That is, when the first comparison value a received by the first input terminal of the and circuit 180 and the second comparison value B received by the second input terminal of the and circuit 180 are both at a high level, the and circuit 180 outputs a high level, and the overcurrent protection circuit is triggered. That is, when either the first comparison value a or the second comparison value B is at a low level, the output of the and circuit 180 is at a low level, and the over-current protection circuit is not triggered.
In this embodiment, when the second detection current IDetection 2Is equal to the first detection current IDetection 1When the first comparator 140 output is high, the second comparator 160 output is also high. Then, the output terminal of the and circuit 180 outputs a high level and triggers the overcurrent protection circuit. That is, the first detection current I detected for the first timeDetection 1For high current, after a preset time period, detecting a second detection current I for the second timeDetection 2Is still a large current and is in contact with the first detection current I detected for the first timeDetection 1The same indicates that the detected large current is a constant large current. The constant large current is caused by short circuit of the wires inside the display panel. Therefore, it is necessary to trigger an overcurrent protection measure.
Or, when the first detection current IDetection 1And the second detection current IDetection 2When the difference between the first reference current and the second reference current is within a first threshold range, the output of the first comparator 140 is at a high level, and the output of the second comparator 160 is at a high levelReference 1(equivalent to the second reference current IReference 2) 15% of the total. Then, the output terminal of the and circuit 180 outputs a high level and triggers the overcurrent protection circuit. That is, the first detection current I detected for the first timeDetection 1For high current, after a preset time period, detecting a second detection current I for the second timeDetection 2Is still a large current and is in contact with the first detection current I detected for the first timeDetection 1Approximately the same or nearly the same, indicating that the detected high current is an approximately constant high current. The nearly constant large current is caused by short circuit of the wires inside the display panel. Therefore, it is necessary to trigger an overcurrent protection measure.
Of course, when the second detection current IDetection 2Is not equal to the first detection current IDetection 1And is provided withThe first detection current IDetection 1And the second detection current IDetection 2The difference between them exceeds the first threshold range (e.g. the first reference current I)Reference 115%) of the first and second comparators 140 and 160, one of the outputs is at a high level and the other is at a low level. Thus, the output terminal of the and circuit 180 outputs a low level, and does not trigger the overcurrent protection circuit. That is, the first detection current I detected for the first timeDetection 1For high current, after a preset time period, detecting a second detection current I for the second timeDetection 2Possibly a small current, or a second detected current I detected a second timeDetection 2Is a large current and is in contact with a first detection current I of a first detectionDetection 1The detected large current is a changed large current which is possibly caused by fast startup and shutdown, so that overcurrent protection does not need to be triggered.
The operation of the over-current protection control circuit 100 for a level shift circuit is described below with an embodiment.
