Description

A kind of efficiently inductive current detection circuit
Technical field
The present invention relates to current detection circuit field, more particularly, to the efficient inductive current detection circuit of one.
Background technology
Along with battery powered portable type electronic product constantly to low-voltage, low-power consumption, the development of the big sense of current, low-power consumption and high efficiency to switching power source chip require harsher, and the power consumption of chip and conversion efficiency determine service efficiency and the life-span of battery to a great extent.It is therefore desirable to the power consumption of each functional module in reduction Switching Power Supply, to improve the stand-by time of portable set.
Inductive current detection circuit is one of most important functional module in Switching Power Supply, and it can detect load open circuit, short circuit and over-current state in real time, thus realizes chip protection and power consumption saving.In the dc-dc of Controlled in Current Mode and Based, current detection circuit is important comprising modules.It not only acts as overcurrent protection in whole circuit, and current detecting result is compared with the output of voltage loop plus slope compensation signal, it is achieved pulse width modulation, its precision, speed and power consumption can have, to circuit integrity, having a significant impact.
There is multiple different inductive current detection technique in prior art, the most popular electric current detecting method has series resistance detection, power tube MN detection and parallel-current microscopy survey etc. three kinds.
Series resistance detection is at sheet external inductance or one little sampling resistor of power tube one end series connection, because for certain resistance value, the electric current flow through on corresponding inductance by detecting ohmically pressure drop i.e. to can detect that.This method accuracy of detection is high, but owing to the existence of detection resistance can introduce an extra power consumption, thus reduce power supply conversion efficiency, therefore, this resistance can not be too big, and the method is also only applicable to small area analysis testing circuit, meanwhile, to be affected precision by technique inadequate for small resistor.
Power tube MN detection is to be realized by the voltage on detection power tube, and because power tube is operated in linear zone, therefore it can be equivalent to a resistanceThe method is without extra power consumption, but μ, Cox and VTBeing influenced by temperature etc. parameter and change greatly, the MN of power tube can produce nonlinear change, and maximum error scope is up to-50%~+100%, thus current detection accuracy is poor.
It is a detection pipe with power tube with same type in parallel that parallel-current microscopy is surveyed, and breadth length ratio is N: 1, so, flows through and detects the electric current of pipe just for the 1/N of power tube current.This method needs op-amp, and the current mirror making detection pipe and power tube be constituted has well coupling, and therefore circuit structure is more complicated, and bandwidth is relatively low, and response time is relatively slow, requires higher to the matching of circuit.
In current actual application, conventional is parallel-current mirror detection method, and Fig. 1 show the inductive current detection method of a kind of typical case's application parallel-current mirror.
In Fig. 1, VN is pwm control signal, VP and VN is complementary signal, this circuit operation principle is for when VN is high level, and power tube MN turns on, N4 and N5 turns on, N3 closes, P2 with P3 provides identical electric current as current source to N1 with N2, if the breadth length ratio of two NMOS tube of N1 with N2 sets the same, then two pipe source class current potentials are equal, so N4 and MN has equal drain voltage, so the size of current proportionate relationship flowing through two pipes is:
I N 4 I MN = ( W L ) N 4 ( W L ) MN = 1 N
Arrange P4 with P5, P6 with P7 breadth length ratio equal, then flow through detection resistance electric current:
ISENSE=IN4_Ib
Owing to reference current is much smaller than the electric current of inductance detection, so ISENSE≈IN4, then:
VSENSE=ISENSE*RSENSE≈IN4*RSENSE
Can be seen that I to be madeSENSEMore than 0, then IN4-Ib> 0 i.e. IN4>Ib, this current detection circuit cannot be used for inductance too little current situation thus so that this circuit is restricted on loading range.

Embodiment 1
Fig. 3 is inductive current detection circuit schematic diagram of the present invention, as shown in Figure 3, a kind of efficiently inductive current detection circuit, including the inductive current size judgment mechanism circuit being sequentially connected with, big inductive current detection circuit and current mirroring circuit, also include the small inductor current detection circuit in parallel with big inductive current detection circuit;

Small inductor current detection circuit, for detect inductive current smaller when flow through the current signal of inductance;
Current mirroring circuit, for producing the reference voltage value preset in the constant current equal with reference current and judgment mechanism circuit.
Described inductive current size judges testing mechanism circuit, compare by reference voltage V ref and node voltage Vsw, thus obtain control signal at comparator output terminal, obtain being directly used in control signal vk and the vm of control mode of operation through overdrive circuit and phase inverter again, control two Guan Bis to transmission gate.
For BOOST DC-DC Switching Power Supply, during switching tube turns on, inductance is in the charging stage, power input, inductance and power switch pipe form a loop, the nmos switch pipe that one breadth length ratio is determined, when it is operated in degree of depth linear zone, its conducting resistance is:
R o n = 1 u n C o x W L ( V G S - V T H ) - - - ( 1 )
So in the case of driving signal constant, conducting resistance is a steady state value.So the drain-source current of the electric current and switching tube flowing through switching tube is linearly, it is possible to judge that flowing through inductive current compares bigger than normal or less than normal with the inductive current preset by the node voltage sw of the i.e. Switching Power Supply of drain voltage of detection switching tube.
With reference to Fig. 3, inductive current size of the present invention judges that testing mechanism circuit includes and produces the default circuit of critical current mode value, comparator COM, drive circuit Driver, reverser, the transmission gate circuit that is made up of MS1, MS2, MS3, MS4.
Described produces the circuit presetting critical current mode value, produced reference voltage V ref of the node voltage coupling corresponding with presetting inductive current with NMOS tube Nref being operated in linear zone by current mirror P4, P2, Nref tube grid meets input voltage VCC, is operated in linear zone, whereinAnd ( W L ) P 2 : ( W L ) P 4 = 1 : 1 , So
R N r e f = 1 u n C o x ( W L ) N r e f ( V G S - V T H ) = k u n C o x ( W L ) M N ( V G S - V T H ) = kR M N - - - ( 2 )
IP2=lIbias (3)
Presetting small inductor electric current is IL0, now by:
Vref=RNref*IP2=RMN*IL0 (4)
(2) (3) (4) are had to obtain:
K*l=IL0 (5)
So PMOS P2 and the respective breadth length ratio of NMOS tube Nref can be set according to formula (5).The default inductor current value I of this circuit has been determined that after the breadth length ratio of two metal-oxide-semiconductors determinesL0
When inductive current is more than presetting inductive current IL0Time, i.e. Vref < sw, now comparator output vn is high level 1, again through overdrive circuit and negater circuit, obtain two control signals vk=0 and vm=1, thus MS1 and MS2 transmission gate is opened, MS3 and MS4 transmission gate is closed, so that grid potential vh of N8 approximates 0 equal to grid potential vg of N7, grid potential vi of N9 and N10, so N8 and NB
Open, N9 and N10 closes, and setsThe electric current then flowing through N8 pipe is equal to
I N 8 = 1 2 I b i a s - - - ( 6 )
Further, described big inductive current detection circuit includes that three groups are operated in the NMOS tube of degree of depth linear zone, containing degenerative grid level amplifying circuit, one group of current mirroring circuit N7 and N8, electric current summation circuit altogether.
Described includes the common grid level amplifying circuit being made up of P0, P1, N3 and N4 and the negative feedback loop formed by P7, N5, N3 containing degenerative grid level amplifying circuit altogether.Owing to degenerative effect makes the source class current potential vd of source class current potential vc and N4 of two input N3 of amplifier equal, i.e. vc=vd.
Described three groups are operated in the NMOS tube of degree of depth linear zone, and one group of NMOS tube is N1 and N2, and a drain electrode connects the source class of N5, and grid meets judgment mechanism signal vm, and a drain electrode connects the source class of N6, and grid meets judgment mechanism signal vm.Due to vm=1, so being all operated in degree of depth linear zone and IN1=IN2;Second group of NMOS tube is N5 and N6, and grid all meets the driving signal CLKN of power tube Mn.Set
( W L ) M N : ( W L ) N 1 : ( W L ) N 2 : ( W L ) N 5 : ( W L ) N 6 : ( W L ) N B = 2 N : 2 : 2 : 2 : 2 : 1 - - - ( 7 )
R can be obtainedMN: RN1: RN2: RN5: RN6: RNB=1:2:2:2:2:2:2N (8)
Again by:
IN2*RN2+IN6*RN6=IL*RMN (9)
IN2=IN6+Ibias (10)
The electric current that can be flow through N2 and N6 by (8) (9) (10) is:WithFlow through the electric current of N3 and N4 equal and for Ibias, flow through N1 and N2 electric current equal simultaneously, KCL know so to flow through N5 and N6 electric current equal, it may be assumed that
I N 1 = I N 2 = I L 2 N + I b i a s 2 - - - ( 11 )
I N 5 = I N 6 = I L 2 N - I b i a s 2 - - - ( 12 )
Owing to N5 and N6 is operated in, linear zone, drain-source level electric current be equal and vc=vd, so the drain potential that the drain potential of N5 is equal to N6, i.e. ve=sw.3rd group is power switch pipe Mn and NB, one drain electrode connects the drain electrode of N6, grid meets driving signal CLKN, one drain electrode connects the drain electrode of N5, grid meets the judgment mechanism signal vm of inductive current size judgment mechanism circuit gained, due to ve=sw, so the drain voltage of Mn and MB is equal, the size of current relation then flowing through Mn and MB is:
I N B = I L 2 N - - - ( 13 )
The drain current flowing through MB, N5 and N8 is added up and obtains required inductance detection electric current by described electric current summation circuit, (6) (12) (13) electric current that must flow through P6 pipe is:
I P 6 = I N 5 + I N B + I N 8 = I L 2 N - I b i a s 2 + I L 2 N + 1 2 I b i a s = I L N - - - ( 14 )
The current-mirror structure being made up of P5 and P6 makes, and flows through the drain current of P5, i.e. sample rate current:
I S E N = I N 6 = I L N - - - ( 15 )
When inductive current is less than presetting inductive current IL0Time, i.e. Vref > sw, now comparator output vn is high level 0, again through overdrive circuit and negater circuit, obtain two control signals vk=1 and vm=0, thus MS1 and MS2 transmission gate is closed, MS3 and MS4 transmission gate is opened, so that grid potential vh of N8 approximates 0, grid potential vi of N9 and N10 grid potential vg equal to N7, so N1, N2 and N8 closes, N9 and N10 opens and is operated in saturation region, breadth length ratio further as N9 with N10 is consistent with N7, ignore channel modulation effect, N9 and the N10 drain current by current mirror mirror image N7, that is:
IN9=IN10=Ibias (16)
Further, described small inductor current detection circuit includes that two groups are operated in the NMOS tube of degree of depth linear zone, containing degenerative grid level amplifying circuit, two groups of current mirroring circuits altogether.
The same with big inductive current, described includes the common grid level amplifying circuit being made up of P0, P1, N3 and N4 and the negative feedback loop formed by P7, N5, N3 containing degenerative grid level amplifying circuit altogether.Owing to degenerative effect makes the source class current potential vc of source class current potential vc and N4 of two input N3 of amplifier equal, i.e. vc=vd.
Two groups of NMOS tube being operated in degree of depth linear zone, one group of NMOS tube is N5 and N6, and grid all meets the driving signal CLKN of power tube Mn.Due to IN3=IN4=IN9=IN10=Ibias, know according to KCL: the electric current flowing through N5 and N6 is equal to 0, but it is all operated in degree of depth linear zone, so now the drain potential of N5 and the drain potential of N6 are all equal with respective source class current potential, i.e. ve=sw=vc=vd;Second group of group is power switch pipe Mn and ML, and a drain electrode connects the drain electrode of N6, and grid meets driving signal CLKN, and a drain electrode connects the drain electrode of N5, and grid meets the judgment mechanism signal vk of inductive current size judgment mechanism circuit gained, arrangesOwing to the drain voltage of vk=1 and Mn and ML is equal, so the size of current relation flowing through Mn and ML is:
I N L = 2 I L N - - - ( 17 )
The drain current flowing through NL, N5 and N8 is added up and obtains required inductance detection electric current by described electric current summation circuit, and the electric current that must flow through P6 pipe is:
I P 6 = I N 5 + I N L + I N 8 = 0 + 2 I L N + 0 = 2 I L N - - - ( 18 )
In sum, the present invention utilizes the inductive current in inductive current size judgment mechanism circuit judges transient state moment to be big electric current or small area analysis, and then select detection pattern, when inductive current is more than pre-set current value, circuit is operated in big inductive current detection pattern, and the detection electric current obtained is inductive currentTimes;When inductive current is small area analysis, and circuit is operated in small inductor amperometric detection mode, and the detection electric current obtained is inductive currentDue to work during two inductive current detection pattern differences, efficiently control the power consumption of circuit.The present invention not only solves load too low in traditional inductance current detecting and causes the non-detectable problem of inductive current, also solve the problem in accuracy of detection, have detected inductive current peak exactly, so that this circuit is effectively applied in the BOOST DC-DC Switching Power Supply of Controlled in Current Mode and Based.
