Embodiment
Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing the present invention done and further explain.
As shown in Figure 1, a kind of power consumption adaptive line voltage stabilizer is made up of error amplifier, current automatic adaptation impact damper and driving circuit and feedback resistance.When this linear voltage regulator is in unloaded or low current mode output, buffers bias at lower current, ensure that lower quiescent dissipation while meeting enough phase margins.And when linear voltage regulator drive current is larger, a part of drive current to be copied by current mirror and is injected in the bias current of impact damper by impact damper, reduce the high frequency output impedance of impact damper and the secondary limit of loop is raised, ensure that the unit gain frequency of loop is all the time lower than 1/2nd of secondary limit.Physical circuit topological relation is:
Power consumption adaptive line voltage stabilizer comprises first to the 9th PMOS PM1 ~ PM9, first to the 3rd NMOS tube NM1 ~ NM3, first to fourth resistance R1 ~ R4, the first electric capacity C1, the second electric capacity C2 and reference current source IDC1.Wherein, the grid of the first PMOS PM1 and drain electrode connect the positive pole of reference current source IDC1, the minus earth of reference current source IDC1.The source electrode of the second PMOS PM2 connects external power source, and its grid connects the grid of the first PMOS PM1, and its drain electrode connects the source electrode of the 3rd PMOS PM3 and the 4th PMOS PM4.The grid of the 3rd PMOS PM3 meets external reference voltage VREF, and its drain electrode connects grid and the drain electrode of the first NMOS tube NM1.The drain electrode of the 4th PMOS PM4 connects the drain electrode of the second NMOS tube NM2.The grid of the second NMOS tube NM2 connects the grid of the first NMOS tube NM1, the source ground of the first NMOS tube NM1 and the second NMOS tube NM2.The grid of the 3rd NMOS tube NM3 connects the drain electrode of the second NMOS tube NM2, its source ground, and its drain electrode connects the drain electrode of the 5th PMOS PM5.The source electrode of the 5th PMOS PM5 connects one end of the first resistance R1, another termination external power source of the first resistance R1.The grid of the 7th PMOS PM7 connects the drain electrode of the 3rd NMOS tube NM3 and one end of the second resistance R2, one end of another termination second electric capacity C2 of the second resistance R2, the other end ground connection of the second electric capacity C2.The grounded drain of the 7th PMOS PM7, its source electrode connects the grid of the 5th PMOS PM5 and the drain electrode of the 6th PMOS PM6.The grid of the 6th PMOS PM6 connects the grid of the first PMOS PM1, and its source electrode connects external power source.The source electrode of the 8th PMOS PM8 connects external power source, and its drain and gate connects the source electrode of the 7th PMOS PM7.The source electrode of the 9th PMOS PM9 connects power supply, its grid connects the source electrode of the 7th PMOS PM7, the drain electrode of the 9th PMOS PM9 connects one end of the 3rd resistance R3, one end of another termination the 4th resistance R4 of the 3rd resistance R3 and the grid of the 4th PMOS PM4, the other end ground connection of the 4th resistance R4.The drain electrode of the 9th PMOS PM9 is output voltage node VOUT, a termination VOUT of the first electric capacity C1, the other end ground connection of the first electric capacity C1.Wherein, the input V of external power source and linear voltage regulator in.
Error amplifier is wherein the typical structure of traditional Differential Input, Single-end output; NM3, PM5, PM6, PM7, R1 constitute current automatic adaptation impact damper.Traditional to follow based on source or the impact damper of structure is followed in super source, usually have the side-play amount of a gate source voltage between its input and output voltage, this has the output current that can limit this circuit in limited time at supply voltage.Current automatic adaptation impact damper of the present invention under operating conditions, the drain voltage of NM3 can about a threshold voltage lower than its grid voltage, compensate for the pressure reduction between the source electrode of PM7 and grid to a certain extent, therefore there is side-play amount hardly between this voltage buffer input and output voltage, improve the performance of the linear voltage regulator under low-voltage.This current automatic adaptation buffer output end creates mutual conductance by negative-feedback technology and strengthens effect, namely the change in voltage of PM5 grid is exaggerated at the drain terminal of PM5, extra electric current is injected by PM7, its equivalent is that the input impedance of PM7 source electrode is greatly reduced, and unnecessary follower bandwidth is transformed into output impedance lower in be concerned about bandwidth by this negative feedback structure.PM8 monitors the situation of output current, and is copied by a part of output current and be injected in buffer circuits, and then reduces the output impedance of impact damper, ensure that the phase margin of whole feedback loop under any driving loading condition.
Figure 2 shows that the loop gain amplitude-frequency response Bode diagram of this power consumption adaptive line voltage stabilizer under maximum output current and no-load condition.As can be seen from the figure this power consumption adaptive line voltage stabilizer can adjust time pole location in real time according to the change of unity gain bandwidth: when being in light condition, unit gain frequency is lower, and now its impact damper is in Low-bias Current pattern and is dragged down by secondary pole location; When being in maximum drive current pattern, along with dominant pole position is improved, unit gain frequency also improves thereupon, and now impact damper is in high bias currents pattern, and secondary pole location also synchronously raises, and ensure that enough phase margins.
Figure 3 shows that the variation relation of loop phase nargin with drive current, as can be seen from the figure, when drive current is enough low, dominant pole and unit gain frequency are all in very low position, and now phase margin is close to 90 degree.Along with drive current constantly increases, unit gain frequency progressively improves and constantly near time limit, phase margin also constantly declines thereupon.When unit gain frequency is fallen near time limit 1/2nd frequency, phase margin is close to 60 degree, the extra current effect being now injected into impact damper starts to manifest, subsequently when drive current constantly raises, the speed of secondary limit movement has caught up with the pace of change of unit gain frequency, and phase margin also slightly rises thereupon.
The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention; it should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, under the premise without departing from the principles of the invention; can also make some improvements and modifications, these improvements and modifications also should be considered as protection scope of the present invention.
