Description

A kind of efficient inductive current detection circuit
Technical field
The present invention relates to current detection circuit fields, more particularly, to a kind of efficient inductive current detection circuit.
Background technology
As battery powered portable electronic product constantly develops to low-voltage, low-power consumption, high current direction, to switch The low-power consumption of power supply chip and high efficiency requirement are harsher, and the power consumption and transfer efficiency of chip largely determine battery Service efficiency and the service life.It is therefore desirable to reduce the power consumption of each function module in Switching Power Supply, to improve portable device Stand-by time.
Inductive current detection circuit is one of most important function module in Switching Power Supply, it can detect load in real time and open Road, short circuit and over-current state, to realize chip protection and Save power consumption.In the DC-DC converter of Controlled in Current Mode and Based, electricity Current detection circuit is important comprising modules.It not only acts as overcurrent protection in entire circuit, and by current detecting As a result slope compensation signal is added compared with the output of voltage loop, realizes pulse width modulation, precision, speed and power consumption pair Circuit integrity can have and have a significant impact.
A variety of different inductive current detection techniques exist in the prior art, electric current detecting method popular at present has Three kinds of series resistance detection, power tube MN detections and survey of parallel-current microscopy etc..
Series resistance detection is in one small sampling resistor of piece external inductance or the series connection of power tube one end, because for certain Resistance value, by the pressure drop in detection resistance i.e. can detect that the electric current flowed through on corresponding inductance.This method accuracy of detection Height, but since the presence of detection resistance can introduce an additional power consumption, to reduce power supply conversion efficiency, therefore, the electricity Resistance cannot be too big, and this method is also only applicable to low current detection circuit, and at the same time, low resistance is influenced precision not by technique It is enough.
Power tube MN detections are realized by detecting the voltage on power tube, because power tube is operated in linear zone, therefore It can be equivalent to a resistanceThis method is without extra power consumption, but μ, Cox and VTEtc. parameters by The influence of temperature changes greatly, and the MN of power tube will produce nonlinear variation, and worst error range reachable -50%~+ 100%, thus current detection accuracy is poor.
Parallel-current microscopy survey be by one in parallel and detection pipe of the power tube with same type, breadth length ratio N: 1, In this way, the electric current for flowing through detection pipe is just the 1/N of power tube current.This method needs op-amp, makes detection pipe and work( The current mirror that rate pipe is constituted has good matching, therefore circuit structure is more complicated, and bandwidth is relatively low, and the response time is slower, right The matching of circuit is more demanding.
In current practical application, the most commonly used is parallel-current mirror detection method, it is in parallel that Fig. 1 show a kind of typical case The inductive current detection method of current mirror.
VN is pwm control signal in Fig. 1, and VP and VN are complementary signals, this circuit operation principle is when VN is high level When, power tube MN conductings, N4 and N5 conductings, N3 are closed, and P2 and P3 provide identical electric current as current source to N1 and N2, if As the breadth length ratio setting of two NMOS tubes of N1 and N2, then two pipe source level current potentials are equal, and such N4 and MN are with equal Drain voltage, so the size of current proportionate relationship for flowing through two pipes is:
It is arranged that P4 is equal with the breadth length ratio of P7 with P5, P6, then flowing through the electric current of detection resistance:
ISENSE=IN4_Ib
Since reference current is much smaller than the electric current of inductance detection, so ISENSE≈IN4, then:
VSENSE=ISENSE*RSENSE≈IN4*RSENSE
It can be seen that make ISENSEMore than 0, then IN4-Ib>0 i.e. IN4>Ib, thus the current detection circuit cannot be used for electricity Feel too little current situation so that the circuit is restricted on loading range.

First current mirroring circuit, it is preset in the constant current equal with reference current and judgment mechanism circuit for generating Reference voltage value.
The inductive current size judges testing mechanism circuit, with reference voltage V ref and node voltage Vsw into Row compares, and to obtain control signal in comparator output terminal, obtains being directly used in control using driving circuit and phase inverter Control the signal vk and vm of operating mode control the closure of two pairs of transmission gates.
For BOOST DC-DC Switching Power Supplies, during switching tube is connected, inductance is in the charging stage, power input, Inductance and power switch tube form a circuit, for the NMOS switch pipe that a breadth length ratio determines, when it is operated in depth line When property area, conducting resistance is:
So constant in drive signal, conducting resistance is a steady state value.So flow through switching tube electric current and The drain-source current of switching tube is linearly, it is possible to pass through the section of drain voltage, that is, Switching Power Supply of detection switch pipe It is relatively bigger than normal or less than normal that inductive current and preset inductive current are flowed through in the sw judgements of point voltage.
With reference to Fig. 3, inductive current size of the present invention judges that testing mechanism circuit includes to generate to preset inductance electricity The circuit of stream critical value, comparator COM, driving circuit Driver, reverser, the transmission gate being made of MS1, MS2, MS3, MS4 Circuit.

IP2=lIbias (3)
Presetting small inductor electric current is IL0, at this time by:
Vref=RNref*IP2=RMN*IL0 (4)
There are (2) (3) (4) can obtain:
K*l=IL0 (5)
So the respective breadth length ratio of PMOS tube P2 and NMOS tube Nref can be set according to formula (5).In two metal-oxide-semiconductors Breadth length ratio has determined that the default inductor current value I of this circuit after determiningL0
When inductive current is more than default inductive current IL0When, i.e. Vref<Sw, the vn of comparator output at this time is high level 1, then Through overdrive circuit and negater circuit, obtain two controls signal vk=0 and vm=1, thus MS1 and MS2 transmission gates open, MS3 and MS4 transmission gates are closed, so that the grid potential of grid potential vg, N9 and the N10 of the grid potential vh of N8 equal to N7 Vi is approximately equal to 0, so N8 and NB is opened, N9 and N10 are closed, settingThen flow through the electric current etc. of N8 pipes In
Further, the big inductive current detection circuit includes three groups of NMOS tubes for being operated in depth linear zone, containing negative The total grid grade amplifying circuit of feedback, the second current mirroring circuit, the electric current summation circuit formed by NMOS tube N7 and NMOS tube N8.
The total grid grade amplifying circuit containing negative-feedback includes the total grid grade amplifying circuit being made of P0, P1, N3 and N4 With the negative feedback loop formed by P7, N5, N3.Since the effect of negative-feedback makes the source level current potential of two input terminal N3 of amplifier The source level current potential vd of vc and N4 is equal, i.e. vc=vd.
Three groups of NMOS tubes for being operated in depth linear zone, one group of NMOS tube are N1 and N2, and a drain electrode connects N5's Source level, grid meet judgment mechanism signal vm, and a drain electrode connects the source level of N6, and grid meets judgment mechanism signal vm.Due to vm=1, So being all operated in depth linear zone and IN1=IN2;Second group of NMOS tube is N5 and N6, and grid all connects the driving letter of power tube Mn Number drive signal CLKN.Setting
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 N2 and N6 can must be flowed through by (8) (9) (10) is:WithFlow through N3 It is equal with the electric current of N4 and be Ibias, while it is equal to flow through N1 and N2 electric currents, is known by KCL so to flow through N5 and N6 electric currents equal, I.e.:
Since N5 and N6 are operated in, linear zone, drain-source grade electric current be equal and vc=vd, so the drain potential of N5 is equal to N6 Drain potential, i.e. ve=sw.Third group is power switch tube Mn and NB, and a drain electrode connects the drain electrode of N6, and grid connects driving letter Number CLKN, one drains and connects the drain electrode of N5, and grid meets the judgment mechanism signal vm obtained by inductive current size judgment mechanism circuit, Due to ve=sw, so the drain voltage of Mn and MB is equal, the size of current relationship for then flowing through Mn and MB is:
The electric current summation circuit, which adds up the drain current for flowing through MB, N5 and N8, obtains required inductance detection electricity Stream, the electric current that P6 pipes must be flowed through by (6) (12) (13) are:
The current-mirror structure being made of P5 and P6 makes, flows through the drain current of P5, i.e. sample rate current:
When inductive current is less than default inductive current IL0When, i.e. Vref>Sw, the vn of comparator output at this time is high level 0, then Through overdrive circuit and negater circuit, obtain two controls signal vk=1 and vm=0, thus MS1 and MS2 transmission gates close, MS3 and MS4 transmission gates are opened, so that the grid potential vh of N8 is approximately equal to the grid potential vi of 0, N9 and N10 equal to N7's Grid potential vg, so N1, N2 and N8 are closed, N9 and N10 are opened and be operated in saturation region, further as the width of N9 and N10 Length is more consistent than with N7, ignores the drain current of channel modulation effect, N9 and N10 by current mirror mirror image N7, i.e.,:
IN9=IN10=Ibias (16)
Further, the small inductor current detection circuit includes two groups of NMOS tubes for being operated in depth linear zone, containing negative Total grid grade amplifying circuit, the two groups of third current mirroring circuits of feedback.
The same with big inductive current, the total grid grade amplifying circuit containing negative-feedback includes being made of P0, P1, N3 and N4 Total grid grade amplifying circuit and the negative feedback loop that is formed by P7, N5, N3.Since the effect of negative-feedback makes two, amplifier defeated Enter to hold the source level current potential vc of source level the current potential vc and N4 of N3 equal, i.e. vc=vd.
Two groups of NMOS tubes for being operated in depth linear zone, one group of NMOS tube are N5 and N6, and grid all connects the drive of power tube Mn Dynamic signal drive signal CLKN.Due to IN3=IN4=IN9=IN10=Ibias, known according to KCL:Flow through the electric current of N5 and N6 all etc. In 0, but it is all operated in depth linear zone, so the drain potential of N5 and the drain potential of N6 are all electric with respective source level at this time Equal, the i.e. ve=sw=vc=vd in position;Second group of group is power switch tube Mn and ML, and a drain electrode connects the drain electrode of N6, and grid connects Drive signal CLKN, a drain electrode connect the drain electrode of N5, and grid connects the judgment mechanism obtained by inductive current size judgment mechanism circuit Signal vk, settingSince the drain voltage of vk=1 and Mn and ML are equal, so flowing through Mn's and ML Size of current relationship is:
The electric current summation circuit, which adds up the drain current for flowing through NL, N5 and N8, obtains required inductance detection electricity Stream, the electric current that must flow through P6 pipes are:
In conclusion the present invention is big using the inductive current at inductive current size judgment mechanism circuit judges transient state moment Electric current or low current, and then detection pattern is selected, when inductive current is more than pre-set current value, circuit is operated in big inductive current Detection pattern, obtained detection electric current is inductive currentTimes;When inductive current is low current, circuit is operated in small inductor electricity Detection pattern is flowed, obtained detection electric current is inductive currentSince two inductive current detection patterns do not work at the same time, have Control to effect the power consumption of circuit.The present invention not only solves load too low in traditional inductance current detecting and leads to inductive current Non-detectable problem also solves the accuracy of detection the problem of, inductive current peak is accurately had detected, so that the electricity It is effectively applied in the BOOST DC-DC Switching Power Supplies of Controlled in Current Mode and Based on road.
