Abstract

PURPOSE:To speed up the rise time of power supply by providing a power supply connection circuit between a power receiving part and an internal electronic circuit, and isolating the internal electronic circuit until voltage rises up to the voltage capable of operating the internal electronic circuit after the start of the supply of power. CONSTITUTION:A section from a power supply circuit 4 to a rectification circuit is considered as a power supply part 1, and a rectified power signal is supplied as the operating power of the internal electronic circuit 2 through the power supply connection circuit 3. The power supply connection circuit 3 consists of a voltage detection circuit and a power transistor, etc., and when an input voltage level is low, it turns off the power transistor so as not to output an input signal. Namely, until the voltage of the power signal reaches the level to make the internal electronic circuit operatable after the start of the supply of the power, it prevents the power from the power supply part 1 from being supplied to the internal electronic circuit 2. Thus, by not consuming wasteful power, the rise time of the power supply can be speeded up.

In a conventional power supply circuit that supplies constant power to a contactless memory card using a coil, when the cart is turned on and turned off, it takes, for example, 10 minutes to charge the contents in the card.
It has been confirmed through experiments that it takes more than milliseconds.

This is because relatively large contents are used in the cart to avoid reducing ripples in the card's internal power supply during normal communication, and the internal electronic circuit connected in parallel to the capacitor has no unnecessary content. This is because current flows, and as a result, it takes time to charge the capacitor.

In particular, immediately after power supply starts, the power supply voltage is low, the operation of the internal electronic circuitry is unstable, and the current consumption may increase.

If such a system is applied to an application where data communication is performed while moving relatively, the ratio of the time required to turn on the card power within the limited communication time becomes extremely large.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail based on the drawings. 1st
The figure is a circuit block diagram of a contactless memory card incorporating the power supply circuit of the present invention. 4 is a power supply circuit, and Ll is a power supply coil, which constitutes a reader/writer and supplies power to the card. L2 is a power receiving coil, and CI is a parallel resonant capacitor for efficiently receiving power supply, which is the power receiving section of the card. D
1 and D2 are diodes, and C2 and C3 are large-capacity electrolytic capacitors, which constitute a rectifier circuit that rectifies the received power signal. The following components from the power supply circuit 4 to the rectifier circuit are considered to be one functional block 7, and are considered to be the power supply section 1. The rectified power signal is supplied as operating power to the internal electronic circuit section 2 through the power supply connection circuit 3 . The internal electronic circuit unit 2 includes a constant voltage circuit 5 and a plurality of electronic circuits AZ, and starts operating when power supply is started and the power supply voltage reaches a predetermined level. Note that the coil for data communication is not necessary for explaining the present invention, so it is omitted from the circuit diagram.

When the power supply circuit 4 starts pulse driving by intermittently passing current through the power supply coil Ll, an alternating current magnetic field is generated, and an electromotive force is induced in the power reception coil L2 according to the change in magnetic flux, which causes the diodes D1, D2, and electrolytic capacitor C2,
The rectifier circuit composed of C3 converts the signal into a DC power signal. Here, since the electrolytic capacitors C2 and C3 have relatively large capacities, they are not sufficiently charged immediately after power supply starts, so the voltage level of the power signal is low, and it is necessary to make the internal electronic circuit section 2 operational.

Next, this situation will be explained in an easy-to-understand manner using the equivalent circuit shown in FIG. The same numbers and names in the figure have the same functions as those in Figure 1. In the power supply unit 1, VO is connected to the coil L1.
A power source supplies power through L2, R1 represents an internal impedance, and C4 represents electrolytic capacitors C2 and C3. Further, R2 of the internal electronic circuit section 2 represents an equivalent impedance including the constant voltage circuit 5 and the electronic circuits AZ. The power supply connection circuit 3 is considered to be a conditional switch. The power supply section l in FIG. 1 receives AC power and rectifies it to produce DC power.
In the figure, it is assumed that a DC power source is applied. First, when the switch S1 is closed and the power supply (2)0 is applied, charging of the capacitor C4 is started through the resistor R1. At this time, it is assumed that the switch S2 of the power supply connection circuit 3 is open. Then, ■the potential at one point increases according to the generally well-known charging type % formula for capacitors. Here, L is the elapsed time, C is the value of capacitor C4, R is the value of resistor R1O, and ■ is the voltage across resistor R4. As time passes, capacitor C4 is charged, and current flows through resistor R4. It can be seen that the potential of ■1 approaches the value of ■0 as it decreases. As the potential of ■1 increases in this way, when the above-mentioned condition, that is, when ■1 reaches the operable voltage of the internal electronic circuit section 3, the switch S2 of the power supply connection circuit 3 closes, and the internal electronic circuit section 3 Power will be added.

Assuming that the switch S2 of the power supply connection circuit 3 has been in the closed state for a long time, the power supply ■0 is applied and charging of the capacitor C4 is started, and at the same time, the resistance of the internal electronic circuit section 2 is passed through the switch S2. Since current also flows through R2, the current required to charge capacitor C4 decreases, and charging takes time. Further, since the power supply voltage has not yet reached a level of 1-min to enable operation, the operation of the internal electronic circuit section 2 is unstable, and a large current may sometimes flow.
