Abstract

The invention provides an over-current protective circuit and a digital output circuit. The over-current protective circuit comprises a current limiting circuit, a timing circuit, a voltage regulating circuit and a comparator. When the digital output circuit is at an over-current status, the over-current protective circuit limits the current within a second threshold value by the over-current limiting circuit to determine the current at the over-current status, and outputs a first control signal by the comparator in the voltage regulating unit to control a switch tube to quickly switch off for closing the output, thereby ensuring the high switch-off speed at the over-current status without changing a fuse; when the switch-off time of the switch tube is longer than the first time timed by the timing unit, the voltage regulating unit outputs a second control signal to control the switch tube to switch on; and the switch-on time of the switch tube is the second time timed by the timing unit; and if the output is still at the over-current status, the output is closed again. According to the over-current protective circuit and the digital output circuit, the time for retuning output to normal is determined by repeatedly and periodically trying until the output is not at the over-current status.

Description

Current foldback circuit and digital output circuit
Technical field
The present invention relates to digital output circuit field, particularly relate to a kind of current foldback circuit and digital output circuit.
Background technology
In digital output circuit, in order to prevent overcurrent damage device, generally adopt the method for connect in output circuit fuse wire or resettable fuse.
When electric current flows through fuse, the resistance that fuse exists makes fuse generate heat, along with its caloric value of increase of time also increases.And the size of electric current and its resistance determines the speed producing heat, the situation of the structure of fuse and its installation determines the speed of heat dissipation, if when the speed producing heat is less than the speed of heat dissipation, fuse can not fuse.If the speed producing heat equals the speed of heat dissipation, within considerable time, it also can not fuse.Only have when the speed producing heat is greater than the speed of heat dissipation, the heat of generation gets more and more, and when temperature is elevated to more than the fusing point of fuse, fuse just can fuse, and the fuse that must more renew causes use inconvenient.Therefore series connection fuse wire method is when actual overcurrent, because its fusing speed is comparatively slow, so have the protection shortcoming not fast to load equipment.
Resettable fuse by through special processing polymer resin and be distributed in the inside conducting particles form.When circuit is short-circuited or transship, the heat that the big current flowing through resettable fuse produces makes polymer resin melt, and volume increases rapidly, and form high-impedance state, operating current reduces rapidly, thus limits circuit and protect.When after failture evacuation, resettable fuse is crystallisation by cooling again, volume contraction, and conducting particles forms conductive path again, and resettable fuse reverts to low resistive state, thus completes the protection to circuit, need not manually change.The operating principle of resettable fuse is a kind of dynamic equilibrium of energy, when the electric current flowing through resettable fuse series of elements increases or ambient temperature raises, if but the balance of the heat reaching generation and the heat of distributing time, resettable fuse series is still failure to actuate.Only have when electric current or ambient temperature improve again; the heat produced is greater than the heat distributed; resettable fuse series of elements temperature is increased suddenly; these elements are made to be in high resistant guard mode; the increase of impedance limits electric current; thus protective circuit equipment is from damage, as long as the heat that the enough resettable fuse series of elements of heat that the voltage applied produces give out, the resettable fuse series of elements be under variable condition just can be in operate condition (high resistant) always.When only having the loss of voltage when applying, resettable fuse series just can be recovered automatically.Series connection resettable fuse method, when actual overcurrent, be difficult to size of current when determining overcurrent, and the speed of disconnecting consumers equipment is comparatively slow, quick not to the protection of load equipment.And cannot protect the large overcurrent of moment.Although need not change fuse, the recovery time of self-recoverage insurance is difficult to determine.

The concrete course of work of current foldback circuit is as follows:
When the output current of digital output circuit is under normal circumstances (non-overcurrent), current foldback circuit is inoperative, does not have an impact to the normal function of circuit.When under output circuit generation overcurrent condition, if described source current is greater than first threshold I1, ER effect then through described first resistance R1 is large, its two ends pressure drop UR1 also increases, when described flow-restriction is connected with power vd D, described electric capacity C1 discharges via described first diode VD1 and described 3rd resistance R3, the magnitude of voltage U1N of voltage regulation unit comparator negative-phase input is caused to reduce, until the magnitude of voltage U1N of negative-phase input is less than the magnitude of voltage U1P of normal phase input end, now described comparator U1 exports the first control signal high level VP, input to the grid of described PMOS switch pipe, control the cut-off of described switching tube, then timing unit electric capacity C1 starts to charge via described 4th resistance R4 and described second diode VD2, and the deadline of described switching tube is the first timing time T1 of described timing unit.
When being obtained by Fig. 5 after described switching tube cut-off, described 5th resistance R5 and described 6th resistance R6 is parallel to high supply power voltage VP and normal phase input end, 7th resistance R7 is connected to low suppling voltage VN and normal phase input end, so now U1P=VN+ (VP-VN) * R7/ ((R5//R6)+R7); When comparator overturns, U1N ≈ U1P, ignores the small area analysis in timing unit, first threshold I1 ≈ (VDD-U1P)/R1.
Or when flow-restriction ground connection, if described source current is greater than first threshold I1, first resistance R1 two ends pressure drop UR1 increases, electric current flows through described 4th resistance R4 and described second diode VD2, described electric capacity C1 charges, the magnitude of voltage U1N of voltage regulation unit comparator negative-phase input is caused to raise, until the magnitude of voltage U1N of negative-phase input is higher than the magnitude of voltage U1P of normal phase input end, now described comparator U1 exports the first control signal low level VN, input to the grid of nmos switch pipe, control the cut-off of described switching tube, then timing unit electric capacity C1 starts to discharge via described first diode VD1 and the 3rd resistance R3, and the deadline of described switching tube is the first timing time T1 of described timing unit.
When being obtained by Fig. 5 after described switching tube cut-off, now described 5th resistance R5 is connected to high supply power voltage VP and normal phase input end, described 6th resistance R6 and described 7th resistance R7 is parallel to low suppling voltage VN and normal phase input end, so now U1P=VP-(VP-VN) * R5/ ((R6//R7)+R5); When described comparator upset, U1N ≈ U1P, ignores the small area analysis in timing unit, first threshold I1 ≈ (U1P-GND)/R1.
When flow-restriction and timing unit meet VDD, after experienced by the first timing time TI, described timing unit electric capacity C1 charges and terminates, now the negative-phase input magnitude of voltage U1N of comparator is elevated to and is about to exceed normal phase input end UIP magnitude of voltage, then described comparator U1 exports the second control signal low level VN, input to the grid of PMOS switch pipe, control described switching tube conducting, now electric current flows through described first diode VD1 and described 3rd resistance R3, described timing unit electric capacity C1 starts electric discharge, and the ON time of described switching tube is the second timing time T2 of described timing unit.
Now can be obtained by Fig. 5, described 5th resistance R5 connects high supply power voltage VP and normal phase input end, described 6th resistance R6 and described 7th resistance R7 is parallel in low suppling voltage VN and normal phase input end, so now U1P=VN+ (VP-VN) * (R6//R7)/((R6//R7)+R5).
Or when flow-restriction and timing unit ground connection, after experienced by the first timing time TI, described timing unit electric capacity C1 discharges and terminates, now the negative-phase input magnitude of voltage U1N of comparator is reduced to and is about to lower than normal phase input end UIP magnitude of voltage, then described comparator U1 exports the second control signal high level VP, input to the grid of nmos switch pipe, control described switching tube conducting, now electric current flows through described 4th resistance R4 and described second diode VD2, described timing unit electric capacity C1 starts charging, and the ON time of described switching tube is the second timing time T2 of described timing unit.
Now described 5th resistance R5 and described 6th resistance R6 is parallel to high supply power voltage VP and normal phase input end, described 7th resistance R7 is in connection low suppling voltage VN and normal phase input end, so now U1P=VN+ (VP-VN) * R7/ ((R5//R6)+R7).
Within the second timing time T2, if electric current still overcurrent, then again close output, then after waiting for the first timing time T1, again open output.Periodicity like this makes repeated attempts and opens output, until output current no longer overcurrent.
When electric current becomes large always, if described source current is greater than Second Threshold I2, in described flow-restriction, the pressure drop UR1 at resistance R1 two ends also becomes large thereupon, when UR1 approaches the first switching tube VT1 emitter junction forward voltage drop Veb of PNP type triode, described first switching tube VT1 is in open mode, thus UR1 is limited near Veb, namely output current is limited in the second current threshold I2 of setting, now I2 ≈ Veb/R1, or when flow-restriction ground connection, when UR1 approaches the first switching tube VT1 emitter inverse pressure drop Vbe of NPN type triode, described first switching tube VT1 is in open mode, thus UR1 is limited near Vbe, namely output current is limited in the second current threshold I2 of setting, now I2 ≈ Vbe/R1, it is the same when now the operation principle of unit is only greater than first threshold I1 with output current, repeat no more herein.

Now described 5th resistance R5 and described 6th resistance R6 is parallel to high supply power voltage VP and normal phase input end, described 7th resistance R7 is in connection low suppling voltage VN and normal phase input end, so now U1P=VN+ (VP-VN) * R7/ ((R5//R6)+R7).
Within the second timing time T2, if electric current still overcurrent, then again close output, then after waiting for the first timing time T1, again open output.Periodicity like this makes repeated attempts and opens output, until output current no longer overcurrent.
When electric current becomes large always, if described source current is greater than Second Threshold I2, in described flow-restriction, the pressure drop UR1 at resistance R1 two ends also becomes large thereupon, when UR1 approaches the first switching tube VT1 emitter junction forward voltage drop Veb of PNP type triode, described first switching tube VT1 is in open mode, thus UR1 is limited near Veb, namely output current is limited in the second current threshold I2 of setting, now I2 ≈ Veb/R1, or when flow-restriction ground connection, when UR1 approaches the first switching tube VT1 emitter inverse pressure drop Vbe of NPN type triode, described first switching tube VT1 is in open mode, thus UR1 is limited near Vbe, namely output current is limited in the second current threshold I2 of setting, now I2 ≈ Vbe/R1, it is the same when now the operation principle of unit is only greater than first threshold I1 with output current, repeat no more herein.
