Description
[technical field]
The present invention relates to electronic circuit field, particularly a kind of power-supply management system that can flexible configuration.
[background technology]
Along with the development of modern electronic technology, it is increasingly sophisticated that electronic system becomes, and power management scheme is correspondingly also increasingly sophisticated.At present increasing company all develops special-purpose Power Management Unit (PMU:PowerManagement Unit) chip.For complicated smart mobile phone, panel computer, net book and various notebook computer, its required PMU chip is integrated to be reached 7 roads or more switching mode DC-to-DC converter and reaches the 20 above linear voltage regulators in road.The integrated function of these senior electronic products is also continuing increase, as GPS, 3-D image, acceleration transducer, gyroscope, projection and advanced video function, Modern wireless communication and intelligent sensing technology etc., every kind of required voltage and current of function all may be different, so all need independently power management module, so just cause the number of required switching mode DC-to-DC converter and linear voltage regulator also can increase.And because modern electronic technology development speed is too fast, at electronic product initial stage of development, being even all difficult to prediction needs how many roads power management module.At present, during many Power Management Unit chip designs, can design the path of some redundancies, cause like this some path in use improper or unnecessary.And this analog chip design complexities of power management is very high; once design successful probability also very low; its construction cycle often can be over 1 year; even reach 2 years also not within minority; required design team scale is also very large, as verified personnel, volume production tester, technologist, encapsulation personnel and administrative staff etc. in the above front end circuit design of 10 people team, rear end layout design team more than 5 people, great many of experiments chamber.So need a kind of power management scheme of flexible configuration more, reduce the significant cost for each application overlapping development.
Another kind of conventional art is on printed circuit board (PCB) (PCB:PrintedCircuit Board), to build power-supply management system by the power supply chip of a plurality of separation, but this scheme is superseded by aforementioned PMU scheme gradually, and reason has two.
The first, traditional separated power supply chip cannot be accomplished multistage dynamic adjustments output voltage, and dynamic adjustments output voltage is the essential function of high-efficiency power system of new generation.The application processor of one of core devices of contemporary electronic systems (Application Processor) chip is the control centre of electronic system, the scene difference that it can be used according to user is carried out the output voltage of dynamic adjustments power module, when needing the scene of high-speed cruising, it heightens the output voltage power module, the operating frequency of chip can improve like this, and power consumption is now larger.But when some scene without high-speed cruising, it turns down the output voltage of power module, and the operating frequency of chip can reduce like this, thereby plays energy-conservation effect.The output voltage of current separate power supplies chip is generally fixing setting.And PMU chip is generally by the I of a standard
2c interface connects application processor and PMU chip, specifically can be shown in Figure 1, and wherein said I
2c interface has two holding wires (SDA and SCK), and all power modules (specifically including 6 DC-to-DC converter, i.e. DCDC1, DCDC2, DCDC3, DCDC4, DCDC5 and DCDC6) are shared an I
2c interface.I
2c interface is followed I
2c agreement is to realize communicating by letter of described application processor and PMU chip chamber.Described application processor can be notified PMU chip to heighten or reduce output voltage, also can realize while enabling to control the power module work of ，Ji Mou road and can notify it to close, so that power saving; While needing its work, notify its unlatching work.Similarly, for described the second conventional art, can be by separate power supplies chip be increased to an I
2c interface, each separate power supplies chip need increase by two I like this
2the pin of C, and application processor needs to increase by two I for each separate power supplies chip
2the pin of C.Pin is more, and chip cost is higher, and this cost all too is large, does not almost have at present producer to adopt this scheme.
The second, resolution element solution lacks electrifying timing sequence management flexibly.PMU scheme can provide sequencing and the relative delay of the electrifying timing sequence ，Ji Ge road power initiation of flexible configuration to set.
In addition, in Fig. 1 because PMU chip-scale constantly increases, even meet certain power path on one side from application processor chip to be powered part closer, as DCDC1 and DCDC2, always but there will be and be powered the far situation of circuit as DCDC4 and DCDC5 distance.Rpar4 and Rpar5 be on printed circuit board (PCB) due to the long larger dead resistance causing of cabling, when supply current is very large, in this dead resistance, also can produce very large energy loss, its loss power is I
2r, wherein I is supply current, R is the dead resistance on printed circuit board (PCB).These energy losses all directly change into heat.
In addition, in conventional P MU solution, pass through I
2c circuit and the communication of PMU chip, be subject to I on the one hand
2c circuit clock frequency limitation, the speed of its transmission data can be limited in lower speed.In order to save chip pin number, PMU chip is generally only by an I in addition
2c interface transmits the control data of controlling all power channel, the further like this speed having reduced the control of power channel.
Therefore being necessary to propose a kind of new technical scheme solves the problems referred to above.

uP, the resistance R between feedback node FB and ground
dNcan dynamic adjustments, thus can realize the effect of dynamic adjustments output voltage.
When described programmable resistance bleeder circuit specifically connects in Fig. 3, described in it, supply voltage VDD connects with the pin LX of corresponding DC-to-DC converter, as the first via programmable resistance bleeder circuit corresponding to the first DC-to-DC converter DCDC1 (including supply voltage VDD1 and feedback signal output node FB1), its corresponding supply voltage VDD1 is connected with the pin LX of DCDC1, and described feedback node FB1 is connected with the pin FB of DCDC1.When described programmable resistance bleeder circuit specifically connects in Fig. 4, described in it, supply voltage VDD connects with the pin VO of corresponding linear regulator, as the first via programmable resistance bleeder circuit corresponding to linear regulator LDO1 (including supply voltage VDD1 and feedback node FB1), its corresponding supply voltage VDD1 is connected with the pin VO of LDO1, and described feedback node FB1 is connected with the pin FB of LDO1.Remaining each power supply chip all carries out, with similarly connecting, just no longer having described in detail here with corresponding programmable resistance bleeder circuit.

So, be powered the DA1-DA6 signal of chip internal by switch controlling resistance R
uPand R
dN, can further realize the voltage control to power supply output node VDD1, and then avoid being powered in prior art the I simultaneously needing in chip and PMU chip
2c circuit, and can realize dynamic electric voltage regulatory function.
Certainly, the resistance in Fig. 5 is not limited to above-mentioned several resistance, can also have more or less resistance to realize dynamic adjustments.Obviously, described several resistance can also adopt parallel connection or mix the mode connecting except the mode that is connected in series shown in figure.By multiple connected mode, can realize better the dynamic adjustments to voltage.

Common I
2the clock frequency of C is generally hundreds of KHz, can work over 1GHz, and to be built in the programming that is powered the divider resistance circuit able to programme in chip 210 is real-time and be powered chip (as application processor), without any communication delay, limits.So the present invention quotes divider resistance circuit design scheme able to programme, than existing PMU solution, have dynamic voltage adjustment speed and enable/closing velocity faster, application processor is faster to the control rate of power path.
Fig. 6 is DCDC chip circuit diagram in one embodiment in the present invention, and described DCDC chip comprises DCDC controller circuitry and comparator C omp1, and VTH is reference voltage, can produce by the reference voltage source circuit in DCDC controller.The DCDC chip is here integrated standardization to form the DC-to-DC chip with above-mentioned four pins by DCDC control circuit and comparator C omp1.When the voltage of feedback signal FB is during higher than VTH, comparator C omp1 output EN signal is low level, controls DCDC control circuit and closes, and forbids the work of DCDC controller.When the voltage of feedback signal FB is during lower than VTH, comparator C omp1 output EN signal is high level, allows the work of DCDC control circuit.Conventionally, described reference voltage VHT is set to the magnitude of voltage between FB normal working voltage and V_IO voltage, the adjusted stable target voltage values of FB when wherein FB normal working voltage refers to the normal operation of DCDC controller, V_IO voltage is the supply voltage that is powered the logical circuit of often opening in chip.In one embodiment, if the normal working voltage of FB is 0.6V, and V_IO voltage is 2.8V, and VTH can be set to 2V.
In actual applications, described DCDC control circuit is the size of comparison FB voltage and an internal reference voltage, and when FB voltage is during lower than internal reference voltage, conversion adjustment increases the duty ratio of LX signal; When FB voltage is during higher than internal reference voltage, conversion adjustment reduces the duty ratio of LX signal.Take voltage-dropping type DCDC as example, LX signal produces VDD1 voltage after inductance and electric capacity (as the L11 in Fig. 3 and C11) filtering, in application processor is powered chip, by programmable resistance bleeder circuit, produce FB signal, feed back to again in DCDC change-over circuit, formed like this degeneration factor.Can be by FB voltage accurate adjustment to internal reference voltage when such degeneration factor works, such as when described internal reference voltage is 0.6V, FB normal working voltage is 0.6V.This voltage can need be worked by pcb board or be integrated in voltage regulator or the DCDC change-over circuit independently often opened in application processor and power always, can not be turned off.
Known by Fig. 5 and Fig. 6, by being powered the control of chip internal control signal to feedback signal FB voltage, and the comparison of the voltage of feedback signal FB and reference voltage VTH can further realize enabling and turn-offing DCDC control circuit.
Fig. 7 is LDO chip circuit diagram in one embodiment in the present invention, and it is substantially identical with the operation principle of the DCDC control circuit shown in Fig. 6, and just application circuit is different with controller architecture, so just no longer describe in detail here.
In addition, the implementation in Fig. 6 and Fig. 7 can also increase the delay of EN signal is avoided to too responsive to system noise in DCDC control circuit and LDO control circuit.When EN signal becomes high level from low level, within certain hour, maintain high level, and while there will not be interim step-down level, DCDC control circuit and LDO control circuit just start and work.Equally, when EN signal becomes low level from high level, maintain low level, and there will not be while uprising level temporarily within certain hour, DCDC control circuit and LDO control circuit are just closed and quit work.
Above-mentioned programmable resistance bleeder circuit is arranged in and is powered chip (as application processor), in embodiment preferably, and can be by described divider resistance sampled point choose reasonable able to programme at the described power supply minimum point place being powered on chip.As shown in Figure 8, it shows middle application processor schematic diagram in one embodiment.Voltage VDD1 is input to and is powered chip from the application processor upper left corner, generally by gold thread, the pressure welding point of described chip and chip pin coupled together, and R
goldbe the impedance of gold thread in equivalent encapsulation, comprise dead resistance and inductance.Take dead resistance as example, and the gold thread resistance of 50mohm when the electricity consumption modules A RM of application processor consumes 1 Ampere currents, will form 50mV voltage drop in dead resistance.Because these electric currents may be also dynamic, so stray inductance can cause on it voltage drop larger.Very large owing to being powered the shared chip area of modules A RM in addition, supply terminals, in the upper left corner, due to the dead resistance of metal line, causes the voltage actual specific upper left corner in the lower right corner much lower, and this phenomenon is called as IR drop effect in chip design.Modern senior simulation software can be modeled to this effect more clearly, but chip operation scene is different, and power consumption electric current is also different, and this voltage drop changes thereupon.After chip manufacturing, chip chamber also there are differences in addition, and this resistance value is also different, and the voltage drop that equals electric current and resistance product is also different.Meanwhile, resistance and electric current also change with environmental factors such as temperature.When voltage is too low, will cause digital circuit to work, as deadlock phenomenon.In order to prevent the phenomenon that crashes, conventionally can suitably improve the voltage at node VDD1 place, can avoid like this brownout of minimum voltage point, owing to there being above-mentioned uncertainty, generally leave larger surplus.A kind of method that the present invention adopts is can be by the upper end of described divider resistance R1 able to programme is connected on minimum voltage point, so the feedback voltage sampling is the dividing potential drop based on minimum voltage point, so can accurately control the voltage of minimum point, make minimum voltage point also have sufficiently high voltage to guarantee that whole circuit can not crash.
In the present invention, because the power supply chip of each standard is very little, can adopt as sot23-5 or less packing forms, can be distributed in and be powered near circuit very easily.Guarantee that like this cabling on printed circuit board (PCB) is shorter, dead resistance is less, makes thermal losses less, thereby contributes to improve the operating efficiency of system, for battery power supply system, can extend and once be full of the operating time after electric weight.In addition, because each power supply chip in the present invention can connect corresponding divider resistance circuit able to programme nearby, can greatly reduce length of arrangement wire, contribute to reduce the wiring area of printed circuit board (PCB), be conducive to the miniaturization of electronic system.
In actual applications, due to each power supply chip has been carried out to standardization setting, without repeating to research and develop power management chip for every a chip that is powered, and only need to when production is powered chip, also carry out relative set, so just can avoid for correspondence is powered the continuous upgrading of chip, constantly researching and developing the huge R&D costs that new power supply management system is brought in prior art.
