The current mirror being formed according to transistor MN3 ' and MN4, under stable state, output current IO UT (passes through crystal The electric current of pipe MN3 ') size can be substantially equal to the size of the rated current by transistor MN4 and control node N_CTRL2. When the demand current instantaneous reduction of load, superfluous electric current can pour in electric capacity CMP2 and CMN2 via outfan N_OUT, makes Become the voltage rapid increase of node NDP4 and NDN4, the voltage rising of node NDN4 can cause transistor MN5 to close rapidly, and saves The voltage rising of point NDP4 can cause to be significantly increased by the electric current of transistor MP5, and this electric current can cause control node N_CTRL2 Voltage quick and significantly rise, make transistor MN3 ' sink to a large amount of electric currents.By above-mentioned running, transistor MN3 ' can wink Between formed and can sink to the path of a large amount of electric currents.It should be noted that between the grid of transistor MN4 and control node N_CTRL2 There is resistance RDCN, it is intended that when the voltage rapid increase of control node N_CTRL2, resistance RDCN can avoid crystal The grid voltage of pipe MN4 rapid increase therewith, and cause transistor MN4 to make control node N_ quickly through a large amount of electric currents The voltage of CTRL2 quickly returns fall (offsetting the change in voltage of control node N_CTRL2).In other words, resistance RDCN can reduce The response speed of transistor MN4 is so that the voltage of control node N_CTRL2 has sunk to crystalline substance in the excess current of outfan N_OUT Body pipe MN3 ' returns fall later again.
It should be noted that current source 10 also can be provided simultaneously with quickly providing a large amount of electric currents and quickly sink to a large amount of electric currents Function.Refer to Fig. 4, Fig. 4 is the schematic diagram of the another embodiment of current source 10.The circuit structure of Fig. 4 can be considered Fig. 2 And the combination of the circuit structure of Fig. 3, therefore function identical assembly and signal all represent with same-sign.Wherein, the crystal of Fig. 4 The function of pipe MP3 and MN3 and function mode are identical with transistor MP3 and MN3 of Fig. 2 respectively, are also same as the transistor of Fig. 3 MP3 ' and MN3 '.Detailed Operation mode with regard to the circuit structure of Fig. 4 refers to the above-mentioned explanation being relevant to Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, here Do not repeat.
The current source 10 of the present invention can be applicable to various types of manostat, for system requirements, stably to export one To load end, in the case, the outfan of current source 10 may also be coupled to amplifier, divider resistance and other phase to rated voltage Close assembly, to form the framework of manostat.Refer to Fig. 5, Fig. 5 is the schematic diagram of the embodiment of the present invention one manostat 50.As Fig. 5 Shown, manostat 50 includes current source 10 and a voltage stabilizing amplifier 500.Voltage stabilizing amplifier 500 can be used to lock manostat 50 defeated Go out output voltage VO UT at end, it includes an amplifier 502 and divider resistance 504,506.The outfan of amplifier 502 couples To the outfan of current source 10, using the outfan as manostat 50, for providing output voltage VO UT to load.Divider resistance 504th, 506 a feedback circuit can be formed, with according to a reference voltage Vref, by the steady state output voltage of manostat 50 outfan VOUT is locked in a predetermined value.When the demand current of load end is fixing (under stable state), the value of output voltage VO UT be by Voltage stabilizing amplifier 500 controls, and current source 10 does not affect the value of output voltage VO UT;When the demand current generation of load end is rapid During change, then it is quickly to provide a large amount of electric currents by current source 10 or sink to a large amount of electric currents.
Refer to Fig. 6, Fig. 6 is a kind of schematic diagram of embodiment of manostat 50.As shown in fig. 6, current source 10 adopts Circuit structure depicted in Fig. 4, and arrange in pairs or groups amplifier 502 in voltage stabilizing amplifier 500 and divider resistance 504,506 steady to realize The circuit structure of depressor 50.Detailed Operation mode with regard to the circuit structure of Fig. 6 refers to above-mentioned be relevant to Fig. 2, Fig. 3 and Fig. 5 Explanation, will not be described here.
In one embodiment, current source 10 can not direct output current, but the electric current outputting it is turned by an impedance It is changed to fast-changing output voltage, and then controls a buffer output current, and lifted by the thrust of buffer to negative Carry the speed for induced current.Refer to Fig. 7, Fig. 7 is the schematic diagram of another manostat of the embodiment of the present invention 70.As shown in fig. 7, it is steady Depressor 70 includes current source 10, a voltage stabilizing amplifier 700, a buffer 708 and a transfer resistance 710.Voltage stabilizing amplifier 700 can It is used for locking output voltage VO UT of manostat 70 outfan, it includes an amplifier 702 and divider resistance 704,706.Put The outfan of big device 702 is coupled to the outfan of buffer 708, using the outfan as manostat 70, for providing output electricity Pressure VOUT is to load.Divider resistance 704,706 can form a feedback circuit, with according to a reference voltage Vref, by manostat 70 The steady state output voltage VOUT of outfan is locked in a predetermined value.Current source 10 can be carried out fast reaction institute by transfer resistance 710 The immediate current of output is converted to voltage, and produces quick change in voltage in fast reaction control end N_FAST.Quickly anti- Answer control end N_FAST and then control buffer 708 to output current to load.(the stable state when the demand current of load end is fixing Under), the value of output voltage VO UT is to be controlled by voltage stabilizing amplifier 700, and current source 10 and buffer 708 do not affect output electricity The value of pressure VOUT;When the demand current of load end occurs rapid change, then it is by current source 10 and fast reaction control end N_FAST controls buffer 708 quickly to provide a large amount of electric currents.
Refer to Fig. 8, Fig. 8 is a kind of schematic diagram of embodiment of manostat 70.As shown in figure 8, current source 10 adopts Circuit structure depicted in Fig. 4 but connected mode are slightly different, and buffer 708 can be a N-type metal-oxide half field effect transistor MN0, And arrange in pairs or groups amplifier 702 in voltage stabilizing amplifier 700 and divider resistance 704,706 and transfer resistance 710 are realizing manostat 70 circuit structure.One end of electric capacity CMP1, CMP2, CMN1 and CMN2 in current source 10 is coupled to the output of manostat 70 End, the other end is respectively coupled to node NDP1, NDP4, NDN1 and NDN4.The drain electrode of transistor MP3 and MN3 is then coupled to quickly Reaction controlling end N_FAST.The grid of N-type metal-oxide half field effect transistor MN0 is coupled to fast reaction control end N_FAST, drain electrode It is coupled to power source supply end, and source electrode is coupled to the outfan of manostat 70.In fig. 8, transfer resistance 710 is schematically shown as an electricity Resistance, but in other embodiments, transfer resistance 710 also can be by connecting into the transistor (diode- of diode-connected Connected transistor) realize, quickly anti-to be converted to, by its equivalent resistance, the electric current that current source 10 is exported Answer control voltage V_FAST of control end N_FAST, and not limited to this.
Specifically, when the load transients of manostat 70 extract a large amount of electric current, by the fast reaction of current source 10, brilliant Body pipe MP3 can export a large amount of electric currents moment.This electric current can flow to transfer resistance 710 via fast reaction control end N_FAST, makes Obtain the control voltage V_FAST rapid increase of fast reaction control end N_FAST, and then control N-type metal-oxide half field effect transistor MN0 Moment exports a large amount of electric currents to loading, with the required electric current of quick offer load.Compared to by the direct output current of current source 10 To the mode of load, manostat 70 can lift, by the stronger buffer of thrust 708, the ability promoting load, can carry further Rise the speed of output current.On the other hand, when declining the demand current moment of load, by the fast reaction of current source 10, Transistor MN3 can sink to a large amount of electric currents moment.This electric current can be electric via fast reaction control end N_FAST from transfer resistance 710 Stream source 10 absorbs the control voltage V_FAST rapid decrease so that fast reaction control end N_FAST, and then controlling transistor MN0 Moment closes, and is reduced the size of output current or is stopped supply output current with rapid.
It should be noted that the running of fast reaction control end N_FAST controlling transistor MN0 to be made reaches optimization, quickly Control voltage V_FAST of reaction controlling end N_FAST should be locked in a particular level under stable state.It is preferred that control voltage V_FAST may be set to add a critical voltage (threshold of transistor MN0 equal or close to output voltage VO UT Voltage size).In other words, control voltage V_FAST is about roughly equal to make transistor MN0 between unlatching and closing Marginal value.Therefore, in a steady-state condition, control voltage V_FAST is located exactly at and can open N-type metal-oxide half field effect transistor MN0's Level is so that transistor MN0 exports a small amount of electric current.When load transients extract a large amount of electric current, control voltage V_FAST only needs to Somewhat lifting can export a large amount of electric currents controlling transistor MN0 moment.When output current is excessive, control voltage V_FAST is also only Need somewhat to decline and can controlling transistor MN0 close.In the case, manostat 70 and current source 10 are to load transients electric current The reaction of change can reach the fastest.If the level that control voltage V_FAST sets is too low, when load transients extract a large amount of electric current, Control voltage V_FAST begin to ramp up to transistor MN0 open before have a bit of time transistor MN0 cannot output current; On the other hand, if the level of control voltage V_FAST setting is too high, in addition to steady-state current possibility is excessive, when current source 10 is detectd Measure output current excessive when, control voltage V_FAST drop to closing transistor MN0 before have a bit of time transistor MN0 still may proceed to output current.
In manostat 70 circuit structure of Fig. 8, the steady state voltage of control voltage V_FAST is in stable state by current source 10 The resistance of the rated current under state and transfer resistance 710 determines.Due to technologic skew, no matter transfer resistance 710 passes through Any type of resistance or connecting into the transistor of diode-connected to realize, all can there is a certain degree of mistake in its resistance Difference, rated current there is also error simultaneously, causes the accuracy of the steady state voltage of control voltage V_FAST relatively low.Therefore, exist In one embodiment, also voltage stabilizing amplifier can be coupled to fast reaction control end N_FAST, be existed with locking control voltage V_FAST Bias under steady-state conditions.
Refer to Fig. 9, Fig. 9 is the schematic diagram of another manostat of the embodiment of the present invention 90.As shown in figure 9, manostat 90 wraps Include current source 10, a voltage stabilizing amplifier 900 and a buffer 908.Voltage stabilizing amplifier 900 can be used to lock manostat 90 outfan Output voltage VO UT, it includes an amplifier 902 and divider resistance 904,906.The outfan of amplifier 902 is coupled to one Fast reaction control end N_FAST, 904,906 outfans being coupled to buffer 908 of divider resistance, using as manostat 90 Outfan, for provide output voltage VO UT to load.Divider resistance 904,906 can form a feedback circuit, with according to one Reference voltage Vref, the steady state output voltage VOUT of manostat 90 outfan is locked in a predetermined value.Demand when load end When electric current is fixing (under stable state), the value of output voltage VO UT is to be controlled by voltage stabilizing amplifier 900, and current source 10 does not affect The value of output voltage VO UT;When the demand current of load end occurs rapid change, then it is by current source 10 and fast reaction Control end N_FAST controls buffer 908 quickly to provide a large amount of electric currents.
Manostat 90 is with the Main Differences of manostat 70, and in manostat 70, the outfan of amplifier 702 is coupled to The outfan of manostat 70, and in manostat 90, the outfan of amplifier 902 is then coupled to fast reaction control end N_ FAST, for controlling the bias (i.e. control voltage V_FAST under stable state) of fast reaction control end N_FAST.In this situation Under, voltage stabilizing amplifier 900 can by the bias voltage control of fast reaction control end N_FAST in preferably level so that control voltage V_ FAST is equal or close to the size that output voltage VO UT adds the critical voltage of transistor MN0.Additionally, amplifier 902 etc. Effect output impedance provides fast reaction control end N_FAST to the equivalent resistance of earth terminal, and therefore manostat 90 is not required to include again Transfer resistance.
Refer to Figure 10, Figure 10 is a kind of schematic diagram of embodiment of manostat 90.As shown in Figure 10, current source 10 is adopted With the circuit structure depicted in Fig. 4, its connected mode is same as the current source 10 of Fig. 8, and buffer 908 can be a N-type gold oxygen half Field-effect transistor MN0, and arrange in pairs or groups amplifier 902 in voltage stabilizing amplifier 900 and divider resistance 904,906 are realizing manostat 90 Circuit structure.In Fig. 10, the function mode of N-type metal-oxide half field effect transistor MN0 and effect are same as the N-type gold oxygen of Fig. 8 Half field effect transistor MN0, is therefore represented with same-sign.Because manostat 90 does not include transfer resistance, amplifier 902 equivalent Output impedance provides the function of being same as transfer resistance.Specifically, when the load transients of manostat 90 extract a large amount of electric currents When, by the fast reaction of current source 10, transistor MP3 can export a large amount of electric currents moment.This electric current can be via fast reaction control End N_FAST processed flow to the equivalent output impedance of amplifier 902 so that control voltage V_ of fast reaction control end N_FAST FAST rapid increase, and then control N-type metal-oxide half field effect transistor MN0 moment to export a large amount of electric currents to loading, provided with quick The required electric current of load.On the other hand, when declining the demand current moment of load, by the fast reaction of current source 10, brilliant Body pipe MN3 can sink to a large amount of electric currents moment.This electric current can be from the equivalent output impedance of amplifier 902 via fast reaction control end N_FAST is absorbed the control voltage V_FAST rapid decrease so that fast reaction control end N_FAST by current source 10, and then controls Transistor MN0 moment processed closes, and is reduced the size of output current or is stopped supply output current with rapid.
Existing current source and manostat are (as U.S. Patent Publication No. US 2009/0212753A1 and United States Patent (USP) certificate number US 7,105,033) all output voltage must be detected, to produce wilderness demand electric current in load transients and to detect defeated When going out voltage and dropping to a certain degree, open instantaneous electric current source to supply the current needs of load end.Compared to existing electric current Source is to adjust output current according to change in voltage, and the present invention is to adjust output current according to load current, therefore reacts speed Degree is very fast.Specifically, due to the change of output voltage be loading demand electric current change caused by result, therefore, compared to The change of detecting output voltage, directly adjusts output current according to load current and can reach response speed faster.Ideal state Under, when circuit response speed is enough fast, change without waiting for output voltage, you can cause to export in the change of output current Voltage provides load required electric current before producing fluctuation.Consequently, it is possible to the ripple that output voltage produces because load current changes Move and will reduce to minimum so that manostat reaches optimal voltage regulation result.
It should be noted that the current source of the present invention can rapidly produce output when wilderness demand electric current in load Electric current provides and gives load so that the fluctuation that output voltage produces because load current changes reduces to minimum, and then makes manostat Voltage regulation result reaches optimization.Those skilled in the art can ought be modified according to this or be changed, and not limited to this.For example, The realization of current source 10 according to system requirements, using the circuit structure shown in Fig. 2, Fig. 3 or Fig. 4, or can be tied using other circuit Structure is exporting rapid-action electric current.Additionally, the implementation of manostat is also not necessarily limited to above-mentioned manostat 50,70 and 90.This Bright current source can arrange in pairs or groups various different structures mu balanced circuit to realize different types of manostat, and not limited to this.
For example, for reaching more preferable stability, also can be anti-phase in the outfan of manostat 90 and amplifier 902 A miller compensation (Miller compensation) electric capacity is configured between output stage.Miller compensation electric capacity can be used to improve voltage stabilizing The stability in the loop that amplifier 900 and buffer 908 are formed, reduces the bandwidth in described loop simultaneously, and then reduces voltage stabilizing The response speed of amplifier 900.As described above, when the demand current of load occurs rapid change, being to be produced by current source 10 Fast reaction, and control voltage V_FAST of fast reaction control end N_FAST is adjusted by the output current of current source 10, with Buffer 908 is controlled quickly to provide a large amount of electric currents.Therefore, the response speed reducing voltage stabilizing amplifier 900 can avoid voltage stabilizing to amplify Device 900 is in short-term interior impact control voltage V_FAST so as to control buffer 908 quickly to provide the effect of electric current to be subject to shadow Ring.
In sum, the current source of the present invention can quickly produce output current when increasing the demand current moment of load Load is given in offer, also can be in the demand current instantaneous reduction of load, and the quick size reducing output current or offer are sunk to greatly The path of amount electric current.Current source can directly export immediate current to load end, and also can control buffer provides the output electricity of moment Stream, to lift the speed that load is supplied with induced current.Manostat using above-mentioned current source can be fast according to the demand current of load Speed produces output current to avoid output voltage to produce big ups and downs, reaches optimal voltage regulation result whereby, avoids exporting simultaneously Voltage is supported electric current and drags down and causes circuit malfunction.
The foregoing is only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, be not limited to the present invention, for the skill of this area For art personnel, the present invention can have various modifications and variations.All within the spirit and principles in the present invention, made any repair Change, equivalent, improvement etc., should be included within the scope of the present invention.
