Detailed Description
The invention will be described in further detail with reference to the following detailed description and accompanying drawings:
In the following embodiments, referring to fig. 1, the overcurrent protection circuit includes:
The foldback circuit reduces the output current along with the reduction of the output voltage when overcurrent occurs, thereby greatly reducing the overcurrent turn-off power consumption of the system; the core protection circuit has no loss voltage drop because the sampling resistor is not connected with the adjusting tube in series, thereby improving the conversion efficiency of the system; and the negative feedback circuit ensures accurate sampling of output current and greatly improves the reliability of overcurrent protection.
The core protection circuit is composed of a PM4 tube, a PM5 tube, a PM6 tube, an NM3 tube, a resistor R3 and a comparator; the PM6 tube is a regulating tube, the PM4 tube is a sampling tube, R3 is a sampling resistor, and the PM4 tube samples the current passing through the PM6 tube, so the drain current of the PM4 tube reflects the change of the output current. Under the normal working condition, the voltage drop of R3 is less than the reference voltage VREF, the comparator outputs high level, the PM5 tube is cut off, and the grid potential of the adjusting tube PM6 is determined by the output of the amplifying circuit of the system; when the output current reaches a certain value, the voltage drop on the R3 is greater than VREF, the comparator outputs low level, the PM5 tube is conducted, the grid potential of the adjusting tube PM6 is pulled high, and the output current is limited to a certain value, so that the purpose of overcurrent protection is achieved.
The negative feedback circuit consists of an NM3 tube, a resistor R4, a resistor R5 and an operational amplifier; by utilizing the virtual short virtual break characteristic of the operational amplifier, when the output end has large power consumption or VOUT is reduced, the grid electrode potential of the NM3 tube is increased, the NM3 tube is conducted, the potential of the point A is reduced, and the point A is reduced along with the reduction of the voltage of the output voltage VOUT, and vice versa. The negative feedback circuit enables the potential of the point A to change along with the change of the output voltage, and ensures accurate sampling of the output current.
The folding circuit is composed of a PM1 pipe, a PM2 pipe, a PM3 pipe, an NM1 pipe, an NM2 pipe, a resistor R1 and a resistor R2; the PM1 line is a sampling line that samples the current flowing through the regulating line PM 6. To ensure sampling accuracy, the size of the PM2 pipe was made as large as possible to reduce the pressure drop across the PM 2. Under the normal working condition, the grid-source voltage of the NM2 tube is less than Vth, the NM2 tube is cut off, the branch current is zero, and therefore the PM3 tube is also cut off; when overcurrent occurs, the core protection circuit works first, when VOUT (voltage output) is reduced to a certain value, the grid-source voltage of the NM2 tube is larger than Vth, the NM2 tube is conducted, at the moment, the voltage drop on R2 enables the PM3 tube to be conducted, the grid potential of the adjusting tube PM6 is further pulled high, and therefore the current flowing through PM6 is further reduced, and the overcurrent turn-off power consumption of a system is reduced.
The invention provides an overcurrent protection circuit, which adopts a smic cmos process to carry out design simulation, and greatly improves the sampling precision of output current by utilizing the virtual short and virtual break principle of an operational amplifier, thereby improving the reliability of the circuit; and through the added retracing circuit, the overcurrent turn-off power consumption of the LDO system is greatly reduced.
Although the present invention has been described with reference to specific examples, the description of the examples does not limit the scope of the present invention. Various modifications and combinations of the embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, by reference to the description of the invention, without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
