Abstract

A host electronic device may be coupled to an accessory electronic device. During normal operation, the host device may supply the accessory device with power over a power supply line. Back-powering events in which the accessory device delivers power to the host device may be prevented by interposing a protection transistor in the power supply line. A current mirror may be formed using the protection transistor and an additional transistor that produces a sense current proportional to the amount of current that is flowing through the power supply line. A current -to- voltage amplifier may produce a sense voltage that is proportional to the sense current. A bias circuit may be used to bias the sense current through the current mirror. A control circuit may compare the sense voltage to one or more reference voltages and turn off the protection transistor when appropriate to prevent back- powering of the host device.

Equipment 10 can have the input-output port with input-output power supply terminal T1 and T2.Equipment 14 can have the input-output port with input-output power supply terminal T3 and T4.Terminal T1 and T3 can be positive power terminal.Terminal T2 and T4 can be ground power terminals.Time together with equipment 10 is coupled in equipment 14, terminal T1 can be electrically connected to terminal T3 via circuit 16, and terminal T2 can be connected to terminal T4 via circuit 17.Conductive path 16 and 17 can form a part for cable, or is formed by the directly contact between terminal T1 and T2 and between terminal T3 and T4.Terminal T1 and T2 can be associated with the contact in the connector (the input-output connector in the input-output port such as, on equipment 10) in equipment 10.Terminal T3 and T4 can be associated with the contact in the connector (in the input-output port such as, on equipment 14 input-output connector) in equipment 14.
Electronic equipment (equipment 10 and 14 of such as Fig. 1) can be: cell phone; Media player; Other handheld portable devices; Portable set less a little, such as watch equipment, hanging equipment or other wearable or micromodule equipment; Game station; Panel computer; Notebook computer; Desktop computer; Television set; Computer monitor; Be incorporated into the computer in computer monitor; Embedded device, the equipment in such as automobile; Comprise for presenting the loud speaker of sound and/or video and/or the equipment of monitor to user; Or other electronic equipment.Such as, host electronic appliance 10 can be cell phone, media player or computer, and accessory electronic device 14 can be comprise loud speaker for presenting from audio frequency to user and/or the equipment for display from video to user that present.Data path by being associated with path 12 provides the audio frequency and/or video content that will be shown from equipment 10 to equipment 14.
Main frame 10 can comprise Storage and Processing circuit 30 and input-output circuit 28.Electronic equipment 14 can comprise Storage and Processing circuit 48 and input-output circuit 50.Storage and Processing circuit 30 and 48 can comprise one or more integrated circuit, such as memory circuitry, processor and application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC).Input-output circuit 28 and input-output circuit 50 can comprise user's interface unit, such as button, loud speaker, microphone, display, touch sensor and for collecting input or presenting the miscellaneous equipment of output to user.Input-output circuit 28 also can comprise wire communication circuit, radio communication circuit, transducer and other electronic equipment assembly.
The AC line power from wall socket or other alternating current (AC) electric power source (such as, AC source 20 and 52) can be used to come for equipment 10 and 14 supplies electric power.Also battery (such as battery 22 and 46) can be used to obtain electric power.
Power regulator circuitry 18 and 44 can be used for convert direct current (DC) electric power source after for the adjustment of the electric component of equipment 10 and 14 (no-voltage on the positive voltage on such as ,+terminal and – terminal or earthed voltage) to from the AC electric power in AC source or battery electric power.
In the normal operation period, the power regulator circuitry 18 of equipment 10 can provide positive voltage to node 38.Protective transistor SW (as protection switch) connects (that is, the switch formed by transistor can be closed), makes the voltage on node 38 be transported to node 36.Positive voltage node 36 in equipment 10 can be connected to the positive voltage node 54 in equipment 14 by positive signal line 16.Power ground line 17 can be used for the ground connection 58 ground connection 56 in equipment 14 be connected in equipment 10.
When transistor SW connects in the normal operation period, main process equipment 10 can supply electric power via path 12 to annex 14.Therefore, positive current I can flow along circuit 16.Do not have in the annex of electric power source, there is not the risk of inverse power supply situation.But if equipment 14 breaks down or designs improper, so power regulator circuitry 44 may attempt to transmit electric power via path 12 to equipment 10.In this type of situation, circuit 16 may generate negative value electric current I.
In order to prevent causing damage to equipment 10, equipment 10 is once detecting that inverse power supply situation can turn off transistor SW (that is, can cut-off switch SW).Such as, I value lower than-5mA or other suitable threshold value time (that is, electric current I value higher than during given threshold value and in the polarity of electric current I for time negative), breakable transistor SW to form open circuit between drain D 1 and source S 1.
Control circuit 24 can be used for the state controlling transistor SW in the following manner: apply control signal, such as control voltage Vcnt via control line 42 to the grid G 1 of transistor SW.When (assert) control signal Vcnt asserted by control circuit 24, transistor SW can be connected and flow to path 12 to allow electric power from power regulator circuitry 18.When (deassert) control Vcnt is asserted in control circuit 24 releasing, breakable transistor SW flows to equipment 10 to block current flow from apparatus 14, thus proterctive equipment 10 avoids damaging during inverse power supply event.
Control circuit 24 can use current sensing circuit, such as have the current mirroring circuit of biasing circuit and current-voltage amplifier circuit (that is, circuit 26) monitors the magnitude of current flowing through transistor SW.Circuit 26 can utilize path 32 to be coupled to terminal 36, and can be coupled to terminal 38 via path 34.Circuit 26 can be coupled to the grid of transistor SW via path 66.During operation, the assembly of circuit 26 can form current mirror with transistor SW.The current mirror of circuit 26 and associated circuits can be conducive to monitoring current I.
When electric current I flows through transistor SW, between terminal 36 and 38, be formed into the voltage drop V of ratio fall.Because transistor SW connects, so V fallvalue may be relatively very little, thus to make based on V fallchallenging and the noise effect be subject to potentially on circuit 16 of the measurement that I is carried out.Therefore, equipment 10 preferably includes the current mirror using transistor SW and circuit 26 to be formed.Current mirroring circuit and the current-voltage amplifier circuit be associated of equipment 10 can be used for the electric current I that will be sensed sensingconvert to and voltage V sensing, the electric current I be sensed sensingthe small area analysis proportional with electric current I, voltage V sensingproportional with electric current I.Control circuit 24 can via path 40 from circuit 26 reception voltage signal V sensing.
As shown in by the curve 60 of Fig. 2, V fallvalue on possible current margin (such as, being from-200mA to 500mA in the example of figure 2) may be relatively very little, and may can not change significantly with electric current I.As shown in by the lines 62 of Fig. 2, V sensingvalue can significantly larger (such as, greatly such as 10 times to 100 times).Voltage V sensingalso can change significantly with electric current I.Because V sensingbe greater than V fall, and more specifically, because V sensingfor given electric current I change change (that is, the gradient of lines 62) be significantly greater than V fallthe change (that is, the gradient of lines 62) for the change of identical given electric current I, so control circuit 24 uses V when carrying out the judgement about the state of transistor SW sensingaccuracy can be improved.
Fig. 3 is the circuit diagram that the exemplary components that can be used for realizing circuit 26 and circuit 24 is shown.As shown in Figure 3, circuit 26 can comprise the transistor being configured to form current mirror with transistor SW, such as transistor M2.Circuit 26 also can comprise biasing circuit and current-voltage amplifier circuit 68.Biased can comprising with current-voltage amplifier circuit 68 is configured to drive current sensor I sensingthrough resistor R to produce voltage V on circuit 40 sensingtransistor, such as transistor M1 and M6.
Transistor SW can have source terminal S1, drain terminal D1 and gate terminal G1.Transistor M2 can have source terminal S2, drain terminal D2 and gate terminal G2.In order to the best accuracy of the current mirror that transistor SW and M2 is formed, wish that the source S 1 of transistor SW has identical voltage with the source S 2 of transistor M2 and the grid G 1 of transistor SW has identical voltage with the grid G 2 of transistor M2.This is electrically connected source S 1 and source S 2 by use circuit 32 and use circuit 66 is electrically connected grid G1 and grid G 2 realizes.
Also drain D 1 and D2 should be maintained and be in identical voltage to guarantee the exact operations of current mirror.The drain D 1 of transistor SW and M2 and D2 are not shorted together.But the biasing circuit of circuit 68 can be used for making node 72 (and the therefore drain D 2) voltage at place and the voltage matches at drain D 1 place.By using circuit 68 to force voltage levvl in drain D 2 close to the voltage levvl in drain D 1, the current mirror formed by transistor SW and M2 can produce current sensor I on circuit 32 sensing, this current sensor I sensingfollow the value of the electric current I on circuit 14 exactly.In typically arranging one, transistor M2 and SW can be configured such that I sensingthat the little mark of I (such as, makes I sensingto 10 be equaled -6* other suitable mark of I or I).Therefore, by electric current I that path 32 is drawn sensingvalue be negligible and can be left in the basket, make the electric current (I) flowing through circuit 14 to be substantially equal to the value of the electric current flowing through transistor SW.
Transistor M1 and M6 can be formed for by electric current I sensingconvert the voltage V on circuit 40 to sensingcommon grid amplifier.As shown in Figure 3, transistor M6 is the diode (that is, drain D 6 is connected by path 76 with grid G 6) be connected.Current source 78 produces the bias current I of the upper DC voltage of setting drain D 6 (node 74) biased.Node 74 is that (that is, transistor M6 is in electric current I lower than a Vgs of the voltage at node 38 place biasedunder a grid to source voltage).Voltage on node 74 is provided to the grid G of transistor M1 and sets the operating point of transistor M1.Because the voltage at node 72 place is a Vgs (M1's) higher than the voltage of node 74 and because the voltage on node 74 is a Vgs (M6's) lower than the voltage on node 38, so the source terminal S of transistor M1 (namely, the drain D 2 of node 72 and transistor M2) voltage follow the voltage at node 38 (that is, the drain D 1 of transistor SW) place haply.Because this bias current operates, the voltage in drain D 2 mates the voltage in drain D 1 substantially, thus contributes to guaranteeing current mirror operation accurately.
Because M2 and SW forms current mirror, so the electric current I in transistor M2 sensingwith the current in proportion of transistor SW.Electric current I sensingflow through sense resistor R and produce voltage drop V on circuit 40 sensing.Control circuit 24 can have comparator, such as comparator 80.Comparator 80 can by the voltage V on input 82 sensingcompare with the reference voltage Vref on input 84, and reflection V can be produced on circuit 86 sensingbe higher than or lower than the corresponding binary output signal of Vref.Use the state of the signal on circuit 86, control circuit 24 can be asserted or be removed the control signal Vcnt asserted on circuit 42.
The value of the reverse current threshold value corresponded to desired by path 14 can be set as with reference to the value of voltage Vref.Such as, Vref can be set as the level of the electric current I value corresponding to-5mA.Higher than-5mA and lower than under the I value of 0, the magnitude of current flow in equipment 10 is minimum, equipment 10 is made to absorb reverse current I satisfactorily and damage can not be caused to its intraware.Higher than under the I value of 0, there is not inverse power supply situation and equipment 10 and annex 14 normally work.In both cases, control circuit 24 can assert Vcnt signal on circuit 42, to guarantee that transistor SW connects.When transistor SW connects, node 38 and 36 will be shorted together, and equipment 10 and equipment 14 can equipment 10 be that the pattern that equipment 14 is powered operates by path 12.
In order to contribute to guaranteeing performance accurately, adjustable reference voltage Vref.Such as, the value of Vref can be set as following value, this value is removed the internal blas of comparator and is guaranteed that control circuit is triggered in desired electric current I value (such as ,-5mA or other suitable level).
Output on circuit 86 will switch (reversion) back and forth when the threshold current value (in this example) of I value lower than-5mA.By removing, control circuit 24 will assert that control signal Vcnt correspondingly responds to turn off transistor SW.When turning off transistor SW, the inverse supply current flowing to equipment 12 from equipment 14 will be blocked, thus prevent from causing damage to the circuit of equipment 10.
By the accuracy using the transistor matched each other to improve the common grid amplifier formed by transistor M1 and M6.It is about 10 that transistor M2 and SW can have ratio (K value) -2to 10 -4or the intensity of other suitable ratio (W/L value).Such as, transistor M2 can have the intensity of the about one thousandth intensity of transistor SW.
Biasing circuit for helping to detect inverse power supply situation can have the cascode amplifier for improving circuit bias.Fig. 4 illustrates how biasing circuit and electric current can form an exemplary circuit diagram of cascade layout to potential circuit 68.As shown in Figure 4, bias current I biasedcircuit branch 102 and 104 (such as, transistor M8 and M9 can form the current mirror for circuit branch 102, and transistor M8 and M12 can form the current mirror for circuit branch 104) is mirrored to by transistor M8, M9 and M12.
Transistor M11 and M13 can be used as cascode transistors, its contribute to making current mirror transistor M9 and M12 from and the change that is associated of different drain voltage isolate.Such as, transistor M11 can contribute to transistor M9 is mated with the dram-source voltage of transistor M8, and this often makes operation and the electric current I of transistor M9 sensingchange isolation (such as, because make the dram-source voltage of the dram-source voltage of transistor M9 and grid-source voltage and transistor M8 and grid-source voltage mate).Transistor M3, M5, M4 and M7 can be used as cascade and arrange, it contributes to the voltage matches at the voltage at drain D 2 place making transistor M2 and drain D 1 place of transistor SW.
By the electric current I of transistor M2 from transistor SW mirror image sensingtransistor M1 and M3 can be provided to.Electric current I sensingelectric current I s2 and Is1 can be divided into.Electric current I s2 can be determined that by the magnitude of current being derived from current mirror transistor M12 (such as, electric current I s2 can equal I biasedadd electric current I1).Electric current I s1 can reflect from I sensingany residual current.Such as, (such as, I is greater than for being greater than electric current I s2 biased) I sensingelectric current, electric current I s1 can reflect I sensingand the current differential between Is2.And for example, (such as, I is less than for deficiency biased) electric current I sensing, indivisible electric current can flow through resistor R.Electric current I s1 can be routed by circuit branch 106 and be amplified to produce voltage V by resistor R sensing.
Fig. 5 illustrates the voltage V produced by the circuit of Fig. 4 sensingthe exemplary diagram how to change with output current I (such as, being provided to the output current of accessory device).As shown in Figure 5, under output current Ia, V sensingit can be zero volt.The value of Ia can reflect the difference between the bias current I1 of the circuit branch 102 and Is2 of circuit branch 104.Such as, make I1 equal Is2 if transistor M9 and M12 is matched to, so Ia can be minimum (such as, Ia can be the value between-2mA and 0mA, such as-1.5mA).In other words, electric current I is worked as sensingequal electric current I s2 and there is no electric current through resistor R, V sensingit can be zero volt.When equipment output current is greater than Ia, voltage V sensingzero volt can be remained on.
Control circuit 24 can be configured in response to determining voltage V sensingexceed threshold voltage Vb (such as, when the value of inverse supply current exceedes the value of current Ib) and disable transistor SW.Threshold voltage Vb can stand based on power regulator circuitry 18 ability that value is up to the inverse supply current of Ib value and select.
The biasing circuit 68 of Fig. 4 contributes to the voltage at drain D 1 place guaranteeing transistor SW and mates during inverse threshold condition of powering with the voltage at drain D 2 place of transistor M2.Under output current Ia (such as, minimum output current level), electric current I sensingsubstantially the same with current IS 2, and the cascade mirror structure formed by transistor M1, M3, M4, M5, M6, M7, M11, M9, M13 and M12 contributes to guaranteeing that the voltage of the drain D 1 of transistor SW approximates the voltage at drain D 2 place of transistor M2.
By making the voltage matches at D1 and D2 place, biasing circuit 68 can contribute to the impact being protected from variations in temperature.Fig. 6 illustrates how to alleviate by biasing circuit 68 V be associated with variations in temperature sensingthe exemplary diagram of change.As shown in Figure 6, lines 112 may correspond to the V in producing at the first temperature T1 sensing, lines 114 may correspond to the V in producing at the second temperature T2 sensing, lines 116 may correspond to the V in producing at the 3rd temperature T3 sensing.Under output current in window 118 around electric current I a, lines 112,114 and 116 can have minimum difference (such as, V sensingmay be insensitive to the variations in temperature in window 118).
