A kind of current-limiting protection circuit of open-drain output
Technical field
The present invention relates to analog power technical field, specially a kind of current-limiting protection circuit of open-drain output.
Background technology
For common open-drain output circuit as shown in figure 1, driving tube N1 is operated in linear zone, electric current is linear with output end OUT
Increase, open-drain output need outside to connect puller circuit, load the driving force, it is necessary to larger for adaptation is various, but protect in output
Problem is there is in shield, the output end OUT of the open-drain output circuit and the VDD of power supply have short-circuit possibility, cause chip can
Decline by property, there is certain potential safety hazard during use.
The content of the invention
In order to solve the above problems, the present invention is provided and sees a kind of current-limiting protection circuit of open-drain output, and it can be prevented
The short circuit of output end and power supply causes the risk that chip reliability declines, and eliminates potential safety hazard when using.
Its technical scheme is such:A kind of current-limiting protection circuit of open-drain output, it includes phase inverter I1 and first
NMOS tube N1, the phase inverter I1 input connect described first for driving input IN, the phase inverter I1 output end
NMOS tube N1 grid end, the source ground connection of the first NMOS tube N1, it is characterised in that it also includes the second NMOS tube N2, the
Three NMOS tube N3, the 4th NMOS tube N4, bias current Ibiasp, the drain terminal of the first NMOS tube N1 connect the 2nd NMOS
The grid end of pipe N2 source, the 3rd NMOS tube N3, the N2 of second NMOS tube drain terminal are drive output OUT, described the
Two NMOS tube N2 grid end connects grid end and drain terminal, bias current Ibiasp one end of the 4th NMOS tube N4, the biasing
The electric current Ibiasp other ends connection power vd D, the 4th NMOS tube N4 source connect the drain terminal of the 3rd NMOS tube N3,
The source ground connection of the 3rd NMOS tube N3.
It is further characterized by, and sets PMOS P1, the PMOS P1 grid end to connect at the driving input IN
The input of the phase inverter I1 is connect, the source of the PMOS P1 connects the drain terminal of the 4th NMOS tube N4, the PMOS
Pipe P1 drain terminal connects described bias current Ibiasp one end.
After structure using the present invention, meeting clamper is lived after output current increases to certain value, prevents output end and power supply
Short circuit cause chip reliability decline risk, eliminate use when potential safety hazard.

Embodiment
As shown in Figure 2, a kind of current-limiting protection circuit of open-drain output, it includes phase inverter I1 and the first NMOS tube N1, instead
Phase device I1 input connects the first NMOS tube N1 grid end, the first NMOS for driving input IN, phase inverter I1 output end
Pipe N1 source ground connection, it is characterised in that it also includes the second NMOS tube N2, the 3rd NMOS tube N3, the 4th NMOS tube N4, biasing
Electric current Ibiasp, the first NMOS tube N1 the second NMOS tube N2 of drain terminal connection source, the 3rd NMOS tube N3 grid end, second
The N2 of NMOS tube drain terminal is that drive output OUT, the second NMOS tube N2 grid end connect the 4th NMOS tube N4 grid end and leakage
End, bias current Ibiasp one end, the bias current Ibiasp other ends connection power vd D, the 4th NMOS tube N4 source connection
3rd NMOS tube N3 drain terminal, the 3rd NMOS tube N3 source ground connection.
Circuit operation principle is as described below:When it is low level to drive input IN, by phase inverter I1 to the first NMOS
Pipe N1 grid end voltage is high level, and the first NMOS tube N1 is opened, and now drive output OUT such as outside pull-up abilities are stronger,
First NMOS tube N1 just has larger electric current, when threshold value electricity of the first NMOS tube N1 output voltage higher than the 3rd NMOS tube N3
The 3rd NMOS tube N3 will be opened during pressure, so that the 4th NMOS tube N4 pipes are also opened, the grid end of the 4th NMOS tube N4 pipes and leakage
The connected node voltage in end declines, and causes the second NMOS tube N2 pipes to enter saturation region from linear zone, the second NMOS tube N2 pipes
Source voltage terminal, which rises, will be limited to output current ability, so as to reach the stable operating point of a balance;As driving input IN
For high level when, the first NMOS tube N1 grid ends voltage is low level, the first NMOS tube normal turn-off.
It is that high level closes when being the first NMOS tube N1 shut-offs driving input IN as shown in figure 3, adding PMOS P1
Branch road where falling bias current Ibiasp, saves power consumption.
As shown in figure 4, electric current and source between the first NMOS tube N1 source and drain of in general open-drain output circuit in the prior art
Between leakage the output characteristics of voltage and the present invention the first NMOS tube N1 source and drain between the output characteristics of electric current and source-drain voltage pass
System's figure, it can be seen that after the circuit using the present invention, with the rise of source-drain voltage, source-drain voltage inconvenience, reach one
The stable operating point of balance.
