Description

稳压器
技术领域
本发明涉及稳压器,更具体涉及稳压器的测试电路。
背景技术
图2示出现有的稳压器的框图。
现有的稳压器具备基准电压电路2、分压电路3、输出晶体管4、差动放大电路10、和恒流电路11,从输入电压Vin输出既定的输出电压Vout。
稳压器具备用于过电流保护或过热保护的保护电路13。保护电路13是保护稳压器的电路的重要的电路,因此要求精度。因而,在制造工序中,测定其特性,进行精度的调整。为此,具备测试用的电路或测试端子。
此外,稳压器要求为低消耗电流,因此例如需要精度良好地调整差动放大电路10的尾电流I10。一般,尾电流I10是通过修整(trimming)恒流电路11的晶体管等来调整的(例如,参照专利文献1)。

专利文献1:日本特开平4-195613号公报。
发明内容
然而,因为仅在集成电路内部使用的恒流,而为了精度良好地调整尾电流I10,需要测定用的端子,因此存在面积变大的课题。
于是,本发明的稳压器,通过将测定差动放大电路10的尾电流I10的端子与保护电路13的测试端子共用,不增加测试端子而能够精度良好地进行测定。
本发明的稳压器,将测定尾电流I10的端子和保护电路13的测试端子共用,因此不会增加测试端子而能够精度良好地进行测定。
附图说明
图1是示出第一实施方式的稳压器的电路图;
图2是现有的稳压器的框图;
图3是示出第二实施方式的稳压器的电路图;
图4是示出第三实施方式的稳压器的电路图。
具体实施方式
以下,参照附图,对本发明的稳压器进行说明。
<第一实施方式>
图1是示出第一实施方式的稳压器的电路图。
第一实施方式的稳压器具备:基准电压电路2、分压电路3、输出晶体管4、差动放大电路10、恒流电路11、保护电路13、电流输出电路14、控制电路15、开关电路16、和熔丝17及18。第一实施方式中,以过热保护电路为例说明保护电路13,但是也可为过电流保护电路或其它的保护电路。
输出晶体管4连接在电源端子1与输出端子5之间。分压电路3连接在输出端子5与接地端子6之间。差动放大电路10的输入端子与基准电压电路2的输出端子和分压电路3的输出端子连接,输出端子与输出晶体管4的控制端子连接。恒流电路11与差动放大电路10连接。保护电路13的输出端子与输出晶体管4的控制端子连接。
在此关于保护电路13,这里以作为过热保护电路进行说明。保护电路13中感温元件101的输出端子经由熔丝18与测试端子Tio连接。此外,被供给工作电流的电流路径上连接有开关电路16。开关电路16是通过控制电路15来控制导通断开。控制电路15也可为例如在检测到输出端子5的过电流时使开关电路16导通的电路。此外,控制电路15也可为例如在检测到输出端子5上输入了表示测试开始的电压时使开关电路16断开的电压检测电路。恒流电路11是使差动放大电路10的工作电流流过的电路,具备恒流源和构成电流镜的晶体管和修整用熔丝。电流输出电路14经由熔丝17连接在测试端子Tio与恒流电路11之间。电流输出电路14具备将恒流电路11的电流镜像的NMOS晶体管21和PMOS晶体管22、23。
如上所述的稳压器如下工作,从而能够测定电路的特性。
首先,说明测定恒流电路11的电流的方法。
控制电路15以使开关电路16断开的方式进行控制。因而,测试端子Tio成为在与接地端子6之间连接二极管的状态。在该状态下,对电源端子1输入电源电压Vin,使稳压器工作。
NMOS晶体管21将恒流电路11的电流镜像。而且,PMOS晶体管22和23构成电流镜电路,将NMOS晶体管21的电流镜像。
因而,若在测试端子Tio与接地间连接电流计,则电流计的阻抗比二极管的阻抗低,因此能够测定恒流电路11的电流。
然后,基于该测定值,修整恒流电路11的电流值、即差动放大电路10的尾电流I10,可精度良好地进行调合。
接着,说明测定保护电路13的特性的方法。
由于结束了恒流电路11的测定,所以熔丝17被切断。控制电路15使开关电路16导通。在该状态下,对电源端子1输入电源电压Vin,使稳压器工作。稳压器从输出端子5输出既定的输出电压Vout。
在此,作为保护电路13的特性,例如在测定开始过热保护的温度的情况下,从测试端子Tio输入代替电压。通过监视输出端子5的输出电压Vout,能够从保护电路13的保护动作和其代替电压值,测定开始过热保护的温度。
并且,基于该测定值,能够通过修整等来精度良好地调合保护电路13的特性。
最后,通过切断熔丝18,测试端子Tio与内部电路被隔离。
如以上说明的那样,第一实施方式的稳压器具备:向测试端子Tio输出恒流电路11的电流的电流输出电路14;使保护电路13的功能停止的开关电路16;以及用于测定保护电路13的特性的测试端子Tio与电流输出电路14之间的熔丝17,因此无需追加用于测定差动放大电路10的尾电流I10的测试端子,因而,无需增加芯片尺寸,而能够精度良好地调合差动放大电路10的尾电流I10。
<第二实施方式>
图3是示出第二实施方式的稳压器的电路图。与图1的不同点在于将开关电路16中有两个的开关设为一个。
保护电路13由检测电路301和传感电路303构成。传感电路303由恒流电路302和感温元件101构成。检测电路301的输出与输出晶体管4的栅极连接,输入经由熔丝18与测试端子Tio连接,电源与电源端子1连接。感温元件101的输出端子经由熔丝18与测试端子Tio连接。恒流电路302连接在感温元件101的输出端子与开关电路16之间。其它与图1相同。
控制电路15以使开关电路16断开的方式进行控制。因而,测试端子Tio成为在与接地端子6之间连接二极管的状态。在该状态下,对电源端子1输入电源电压Vin,使稳压器工作。
NMOS晶体管21将恒流电路11的电流镜像。而且,PMOS晶体管22和23构成电流镜电路,将NMOS晶体管21的电流镜像。
因而,若在测试端子Tio与接地间连接电流计,则电流计的阻抗比二极管的阻抗低,因此能够测定恒流电路11的电流。
然后,基于该测定值修整恒流电路11的电流值、即差动放大电路10的尾电流I10,能够精度良好地进行调合。此外,当测定恒流电路11的电流时,检测电路301工作,但是,由于在检测电路301的输入连接有晶体管的栅极等(未图示),所以电流不会从检测电路301流到测试端子Tio。因此,即便检测电路301工作,电流也不会从检测电路301或传感电路303流入,能够用测试端子Tio来测定恒流电路11的电流。其它与第一实施方式的动作相同。
如以上说明的那样,第二实施方式的稳压器无需追加用于测定差动放大电路10的尾电流I10的测试端子,可以使检测电路301动作的状态下精度良好地调合差动放大电路10的尾电流I10。
<第三实施方式>
图4是示出第三实施方式的稳压器的电路图。与图3的不同点在于将开关电路16移动到检测电路301的电源与电源端子1之间,对电源端子1连接恒流电路302。其它与图3相同。
控制电路15以使开关电路16断开的方式进行控制。因而,测试端子Tio成为在与接地端子6之间连接二极管的状态,使保护电路13的动作停止。在该状态下,对电源端子1输入电源电压Vin,使稳压器工作。
NMOS晶体管21将恒流电路11的电流镜像。而且,PMOS晶体管22和23构成电流镜电路,将NMOS晶体管21的电流镜像。
因而,若在测试端子Tio与接地间连接电流计,则电流计的阻抗比二极管的阻抗低,因此能够测定恒流电路11的电流。如果将流入感温元件101的电流设定为对差动放大电路10的尾电流I10成正比的电流,并且比流过PMOS晶体管23的电流非常小,则在恒流电路11的电流的测定中不受很大影响,能够精度良好地测定恒流电路11的电流。
基于该电流值,修整恒流电路11的电流值、即差动放大电路10的尾电流I10,能够精度良好地进行调合。其它与第二实施方式的动作相同。
如以上说明的那样,第三实施方式的稳压器能够使保护电路13的动作停止并使流入感温元件101的电流与差动放大电路10的尾电流I10成正比,从而能够精度良好地测定恒流电路11的电流并能精度良好地调合差动放大电路10的尾电流I10。
