Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to a driver circuit TR with a switching transistor MPO for controlling a data bus connected to an output Out of the driver circuit TR.
Background
The DSI3 data bus is used in many automotive sensor systems to transfer data between sensors and control devices. To prevent a short circuit, the driver for the data bus must be current limited. Here, the problem is that the operating voltage is relatively high and the level is dependent on the operating voltage and independent of the reference potential.
Disclosure of Invention
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a solution which does not have the above-mentioned drawbacks of the prior art and which has other advantages.
The object of the invention is to limit the current of a switching transistor MPO, preferably a P-channel field effect transistor. Although the first terminal of the switching transistor MPO is at a relatively high potential (e.g., 30V) of the first voltage supply line VbatH, a simple digital transistor having no insulation strength in this region should be able to be used. Importantly, the current limitation of the transistor current of the switching transistor MPO must start very quickly and without oscillation due to the low impedance of the line. This is the object of the present invention.
This object is solved by a device according to the description herein.
Solution scheme
During the receive phase, the switching transistor MPO clamps the DSI3 bus at the output Out of the driver circuit TR to the potential of the first voltage supply line VbatH. This receiving phase of the DSI3 bus is characterized by an input current signal at the output Out of the driver circuit TR. This means that, based on the reference potential of the reference potential line GND, current is drawn from the switching transistor MPO via the output terminal Out in the circuit of the drive circuit TR. In the DSI3 bus, the signal current may have three values of 0A, 12mA, and 24 mA. Furthermore, a positive current value always corresponds to the current flowing Out of the circuit at the output Out. In addition to this signal current, there is also a DC current of 0 to 40 mA.
Normal mode of operation
The switching transistor MPO is typically a P-channel MOS field effect transistor serving as a switch. The switching transistor MPO is operated such that its gate voltage is switched between 0V and a defined potential.
The definition potential VR is set as a voltage drop across the first resistor R7V. The voltage drop across the first resistor R7V corresponds to the voltage value VRWert=IrefWertImage factor R7VWert. The mirror factor of the current mirror is preferably 1: 10. The reference current Iref is preferably about 10 μ a. Since the switching transistor MPO preferably has a gate of 5V on its gate-source path, the first resistor R7V is preferably dimensioned in the following manner: based on the potential of the first voltage supply line VbatH, for example, about 4.8V is preferably set as the definition potential VR. Therefore, the potential at the sixth node K6 is subsequently determined. This is the normal mode of operation.
Implementation of current limiting
Since the switching transistor MPO is large in order to meet the requirements, no element can be connected in series with the switching transistor MPO. Therefore, current limitation cannot be achieved by inserting a current limiting function into the current path of the switching transistor MPO that meets the requirements. In addition, a particularly important requirement is that the on-resistance of the switching transistor MPO is, for example, only about 1.5 Ohm. This cannot generally be achieved by connecting other functional elements in series with the switching transistor MPO.
In contrast, the mechanism for limiting current interferes with the current flowing through the first resistor R7V via the first source follower transistor M128 and the second source follower transistor M33. Therefore, the definition potential VR is changed by current limitation. Therefore, the gate-source voltage of the switching transistor MPO is also changed, and thus the current flowing through the switching transistor MPO is also changed.
The first source follower transistor M128 has no effect on the current limitation. However, it intervenes in the same way to switch the switching transistor MPO to the power-off state. Therefore, the first source follower transistor M128 has a switching function for switching operation of the switching transistor MPO. The first source follower transistor M128 is used for switching operations, and the second source follower transistor M33 ensures intervention in one of the two current limiting means for the current flowing through the first resistor R7V.
The second current limiting means is composed of a third transistor M66, a bridge resistor R, a fourth transistor M73, and a fifth transistor MPHclmpAnd (4) forming.
The mode of operation of the current limiting means for the current flowing through the switching transistor MPO will be discussed below.
Current limiting device 1
A part of the first current limiting means (hereinafter referred to as current limiting means 1) monitors the current flowing through the switching transistor MPO. This is done by copying the drain voltage of the switching transistor MPO to a parallel model transistor MPO having the same gate voltage and the same source voltagerefAnd (4) completing. The sixth transistor M27, The seventh transistor M28, and The first Current source M218 and The second Current source M36 form a so-called Current conveyor circuit, see Current conveyor-a novel circuit building block (The Current conveyor building block) published in kennes smith (Kenneth c. smith), alder sedela (Adel Sedra) at proc.ieee 56 volume 1368-1369, or "Current conveyor-a variant, application and Hardware implementation (Current-a harware) published in Springer publication ISBN 978-3-319-35049-3, 2015.
The first current source M218 generates a defined potential at the gate of the seventh transistor M28 as a P-channel transistor together with the sixth transistor M27 as a MOS diode. The current flowing through the seventh transistor M28 is determined by the second current source M36. This therefore generates a gate-source voltage on the seventh transistor M28, and copies the drain potential of the switching transistor MPO to the model transistor MPOrefOf the substrate.
The current from above satisfies the current source current of the second current source M36 located below the eighth transistor M37. The potential of the common fourth node K4 of the eighth transistor M37 and the second current source M36 drives the second source follower transistor M33, which draws more or less current from the first resistor R7V. The parasitic input capacitance of the common fourth node K4 of the eighth transistor M37 and the second current source M36 is charged or discharged by a transistor current of the eighth transistor M37 and a current difference of the second current source M36.
The mirror ratio is selected so that the current limit value of the P-channel switching transistor MPO may preferably be, for example, 10 μ a to 84 mA.
Current limiting device 2
Only the above-described current limiting device 1 is insufficient. That is, if the output terminal Out of the drive circuit TR is shorted to the reference potential of the reference potential line GND due to an operation error or a process error of a workshop, for example, the voltage drop across the sixth transistor M27 and the first current source M218 approaches 0V. In case such a short circuit cannot be ruled out, therefore, the control loop of the current limiting device 1 described above will no longer function.
In the case of such a short circuit with a very low voltage drop, the cross-over resistor R will, due to the short circuit, draw current from the fifth transistor MPH via the output Out of the driver circuit TRclmpAnd the current mirror formed by the third transistor M66 is pulled toward the reference potential of the reference potential line GND.
Through a fifth transistor MPHclmpAnd a third transistor M66, which is another current mirror transistor, feeds a resistance current across the resistor R to the gate node of the switching transistor MPO. This resistance current across the resistor R therefore reduces the gate-source voltage of the switching transistor MPO, thereby reducing the conductivity of the switching transistor MPO. Thereby controlling the switching transistor MPO. In the current limiting device 2, the current limit value of the current flowing through the switching transistor MPO is set by the resistance value across the resistor R.
Improvements in current limiting devices 2
According to the invention, a modification of the current limiting device 2 can be considered:
the foldback characteristic (foldback charakterstrik) may be set by the fourth transistor M73. This means that in the case of a short circuit, a reduced short-circuit current is defined, so that the power loss of the P-channel switching transistor MPO is minimized. The advantage is that on the one hand no damaging current flows through the switching transistor MPO, and on the other hand the control loop can continue to function.
Characteristic of the invention
There is still a problem in turning on the circuit. At the beginning, the output Out of the drive circuit TR is at the reference potential of the reference potential line GND. Because the bus capacitance is large, the transient of the opening process at the output Out of the driver circuit TR is shortened. Thus, at start-up, the current limiting device 2 is active and prevents the circuit from starting. In order to avoid this, a fourth transistor M73 is additionally inserted, and the fourth transistor M73 can ensure the start-up of the entire circuit even if there is an operating current limiting device 2.
For this reason, in the case where the output terminal Out of the driving circuit TR is short-circuited to the reference potential of the reference potential line GND, the fourth transistor M73 can ensure a minimum current, so that the control loop still receives a valid control signal when a condition similar to the opening of the short-circuit occurs.
The circuit also differs from the prior art in that the potential within the circuit is defined by a first resistor R7V. A resistor like the first resistor R7V is a well-defined, highly scalable process element in CMOS semiconductor processes that can provide any voltage within a certain range and has a stable current.
Although the switching transistor MPO is large, the circuit speed is very fast since only current is used.
For example, the current flowing through the first resistor R7V may be corrected relatively quickly, preferably at 100 μ Α and 48kOhm, without stability problems.
The proposed circuit is characterized in that the gate potential of the switching transistor MPO is generated by means of a first resistor R7V and a bandgap circuit, not shown here, which generates a reference current Iref via a conversion resistor RS for converting a bandgap voltage into the reference current Iref. The first resistor R7V and the transfer resistor RS should be of the same type (e.g., polysilicon resistors) on the crystal of the common integrated circuit, and preferably similar (matched). Thereby, the band gap voltage based on the reference potential of the reference potential line GND can be converted into the defined potential VR based on the potential of the first voltage power supply line VbatH, wherein the voltage difference between the defined potential VR (the gate potential of the switching transistor MPO) and the potential of the first voltage power supply line VbatH is determined by the ratio between the resistance value of the conversion resistor RS and the resistance value of the first resistor R7V.
The eighth transistor M37 is generally not required for the claimed function of the disclosed invention. As a cascode transistor, the eighth transistor only protects the second current source M36 from overvoltage. In the case of a pure 5V embodiment, the eighth transistor M37 is redundant and is preferably not used. Accordingly, the thirteenth node K13 is not required, and may be replaced by the fourth node K4 after the eighth transistor M37 is removed. The second terminal of the seventh transistor M28 is a fourth node K4.
The thirteenth transistor M38 is generally not required for the claimed function of the disclosed invention. As a cascode transistor, the thirteenth transistor only protects the first current source M218 from overvoltage. In the case of a pure 5V embodiment, the thirteenth transistor M38 is redundant and is preferably not used. Accordingly, the twelfth node K12 is not required, and may be replaced by the seventh node K7 after the thirteenth transistor M38 is removed. The first current source M218 is directly connected to the second terminal of the sixth transistor M27 via the seventh node K7.
Advantages of the invention
In the proposed circuit, no amplifier and feedback control are used to limit the current. Furthermore, this means that there is no control loop with oscillation capability. Thus, this is an accurate control, not a regulation.
The advantages of the present invention are not limited thereto.
