Fig. 1 C are an imaginary LDO 25.Compared to Figure 1B, LDO 25 driving stage, which changes to use, belongs to the one of core parts Nmos pass transistor MN1_CORE.Unfortunately, LDO 25 has reliability issues.For example, an electric sequence (power Sequence) in design, the import and export power line AVDD1P5 in Fig. 1 C is used as a primary input power line, main power source electricity thereon Pressure may be reached after 1.5V, and the ability of operational amplifier 12 draws high nmos pass transistor MN1_CORE grid since 0V, and exports electricity Output voltage on the line LDO_OUT of source is just close toward the 1.0V of target voltage values from 0V at leisure.It has been discovered that NMOS is brilliant Body pipe MN1_CORE drain-gate cross-pressure (VDG) and drain-source cross-pressure (VDS), maximum is about 1.5V, more than nmos pass transistor MN1_ CORE withstanding voltage (1V).So, nmos pass transistor MN1_CORE in LDO 25 is because too high cross-pressure, in practice Have reliability issues.
The LDO 30 that Fig. 2 displays are implemented according to the present invention.LDO 30 driving stage has a PMOS transistor MP_CORE (a first active member) and nmos pass transistor MN_CORE (the second active member), is both to belong to core parts.PMOS Transistor AND gate nmos pass transistor is all some embodiments of active member, and the invention is not restricted to this.For example, in other realities Apply in example, active member can be vacuum tube device, field-effect transistor (field effect transistor, FET), bipolar Property junction transistor (Bipolar Junction Transistor, BJT) etc..Import and export power line AVDD1P5 is defeated as a master Enter power line, be connected to PMOS transistor MP_CORE source electrode.In stable state, import and export power line AVDD1P5 supply voltage For 1.5V.Out-put supply line LDO_OUT is connected to nmos pass transistor MN_CORE source electrode.PMOS transistor MP_CORE and NMOS Transistor MN_CORE drain electrode, is all connected to connection end PROT_D.As shown in Figure 2, PMOS transistor MP_CORE and NMOS Transistor MN_CORE is series between import and export power line AVDD1P5 and out-put supply line LDO_OUT.PMOS transistor MP_ There is CORE gate terminal PROT_G, nmos pass transistor MN_CORE to have gate terminal VG.
Operational amplifier 12 is powered by 3.3V power line AVDD3P3, and core electricity is connected respectively to two inputs Source line DVDD and out-put supply line LDO_OUT.The output of operational amplifier 12 is connected to gate terminal VG.In stable state, core Power line DVDD supply voltage is 1.0V, so during stable state, the output voltage on out-put supply line LDO_OUT is also 1.0V (target voltage values).
LDO 30 has additionally comprised a protection circuit 32, its be coupled to out-put supply line LDO_OUT, core power line DVDD, With import and export power line AVDD1P5.The extreme PROT_G of the control gate of protection circuit 32 and connection end PROT_D.In an electric sequence In, protection circuit 32 may insure the cross-pressure at any two ends on PMOS transistor MP_CORE and nmos pass transistor MN_CORE, example Such as VDS、VGD、VGSDeng the no more than withstanding voltage (1V) of core parts.So protection circuit 32 ensures PMOS transistor MP_ CORE and nmos pass transistor MN_CORE are all without there is reliability issues.
Protection circuit 32 has a bleeder circuit 40, be connected to import and export power line AVDD1P5 and a ground power line it Between.Bleeder circuit 40 has three resistance, is connected with partial pressure end S1P0 with S0P5.In one embodiment, the resistance of three resistance Value is about all.In stable state, import and export power line AVDD1P5 main power voltage is about 1.5V, partial pressure end S1P0 with S0P5 voltage is about 1V and 0.5V respectively.
PMOS transistor MP1 (the 3rd active member) is connected between partial pressure end S1P0 and connection end PROT_D, and PMOS is brilliant Body pipe MP2 (the 4th active member) is connected between core power line DVDD and connection end PROT_D.In one embodiment, PMOS Transistor MP1 and MP2 are core parts.In another embodiment, PMOS transistor MP1 and MP2 are import and export elements.
Comparator 34 compares a preset security value VREFWith out-put supply line LDO_OUT output voltage.In this embodiment In, preset security value VREFFor 0.5V, less than target voltage values (1.0V) of the out-put supply line LDO_OUT in stable state.
Multiplexer 38 is respectively connecting to partial pressure end S0P5 with two inputs and import and export power line AVDD1P5 and one are defeated Go out to be connected to PMOS transistor MP_CORE gate terminal PROT_G.As can be known from Fig. 2, when out-put supply line LDO_OUT output When voltage is less than 0.5V, the connection of multiplexer 38 import and export power line AVDD1P5 to gate terminal PROT_G;Conversely, working as out-put supply When line LDO_OUT output voltage is more than 0.5V, the connection of multiplexer 38 partial pressure end S0P5 to gate terminal PROT_G.
PMOS transistor MP1 with or lock 36 receive and have a reverse power good signal PG, its logical value regards core power line Depending on DVDD core power supply voltage.For example, when core power supply voltage is more than 0.9V (a core normal value), it can be considered as Core power supply voltage has reached the 1V of stable state, so power good signal PG becomes in logic " 1 ", voltage potential is one High-voltage value.Conversely, when core power supply voltage is less than 0.9V, power good signal PG is in logic " 0 ", voltage potential is one Low voltage value.For core parts, high-voltage value is 1V, for import and export element, and high-voltage value is 1.5V.
Fig. 3 shows some signal waveforms in Fig. 2, from top to bottom, is import and export power line AVDD1P5 main power source respectively Voltage, core power line DVDD core power supply voltage, power good signal PG logical value, connection end PROT_D voltage, The output voltage of connection end PROT_G voltage, gate terminal VG voltage and out-put supply line LDO_OUT.In Fig. 3, it is assumed that Electric sequence (power sequence) be import and export power line AVDD1P5 at first upper electricity, followed by core power line DVDD, so After be only out-put supply line LDO_OUT.
Referring to Fig. 3 and Fig. 4.Fig. 4 is especially denoted before time point t1, some element shapes of element in Fig. 2 State, includes PMOS transistor MP1 unlatchings, PMOS transistor MP2 closings, PMOS transistor MP_CORE closings, nmos pass transistor MN_CORE is closed and multiplexer 38 is connected to import and export power line AVDD1P5 and gate terminal PROT_G.
When LDO 30 is upper at the beginning electric, import and export power line AVDD1P5 main power voltage climbs since 0V, in the time Point t0 reaches 1.5V during stable state.Partial pressure end S1P0 and S0P5 voltage is the 2/3 and 1/3 of main power voltage respectively, so It can together be climbed with main power voltage, the 1V and 0.5V of stable state are respectively reached in time point t0.Before time point t1, output Power line LDO_OUT output voltage is about 0V, the output of comparator 34 logical value " 0 ", multiplexer 38 is controlled, it is connected Import and export power line AVDD1P5 and gate terminal PROT_G, so PMOS transistor MP_CORE is closed.Before time point t1, because Core power line DVDD core power supply voltage is also relatively low, so power good signal PG is in logic " 0 ", PMOS transistor MP1 is opened, by partial pressure end S1P0 and the short circuit of connection end PROT_D phases.Therefore, before time point t1, connection end PROT_D company The voltage that voltage will follow partial pressure end S1P0 is connect, climbs and rests on 1V, as shown in Figure 3.In addition, logical value is " 0 " electricity The logical value that source normal signal PG and comparator 34 are exported " 0 " is also resulted in or the output of lock 36 logical value " 1 ", so PMOS is brilliant Body pipe MP2 is closed.As shown in Figure 3, before time point t1, gate terminal VG is about 0V, so nmos pass transistor MN_CORE Close.
Referring to Fig. 3 and Fig. 5.Fig. 5 is especially denoted between time point t1 to t2, some members of element in Fig. 2 Part state, includes PMOS transistor MP1 closings, PMOS transistor MP2 unlatchings, PMOS transistor MP_CORE closings, NMOS crystalline substances Body pipe MN_CORE is opened and multiplexer 38 is connected to import and export power line AVDD1P5 and gate terminal PROT_G.
In time point t1, core power line DVDD core power supply voltage is almost stabilized, and power good signal PG turns State is in logic " 1 ".So, PMOS transistor MP1 is closed, PMOS transistor MP2 is opened, and maintains connection end PROT_D company Voltage is connect in core power line DVDD 1V.After time point t1, the electricity for drawing high gate terminal VG of operational amplifier 12 slowly Pressure, subsequently results in nmos pass transistor MN_CORE unlatchings, out-put supply line LDO_OUT output voltage has also been drawn high, such as Fig. 3 It is shown.Out-put supply line LDO_OUT output voltage reaches 0.5V (preset security value V in time point t2REF)。
Referring to Fig. 3 and Fig. 6.Fig. 6 is especially denoted after time point t2, some element shapes of element in Fig. 2 State, includes PMOS transistor MP1 closings, PMOS transistor MP2 closings, PMOS transistor MP_CORE unlatchings, nmos pass transistor MN_CORE is opened and multiplexer 38 is connected to partial pressure end S0P5 and gate terminal PROT_G.
After time point t2, out-put supply line LDO_OUT output voltage has exceeded 0.5V, so or lock 36 close PMOS transistor MP2, and multiplexer 38 is connected to partial pressure end S0P5 and gate terminal PROT_G.Gate terminal PROT_G voltage can be with Partial pressure end S0P5 voltage is the same, is all 0.5V so that PMOS transistor MP_CORE is opened, by connection end PROT_D connection Voltage high is to 1.5V.After time point t2, operational amplifier 12 continues to draw high gate terminal VG voltage, and causes NMOS brilliant Body pipe MN_CORE has drawn high out-put supply line LDO_OUT output voltage, until stablizing at target voltage values (1.0V), as Shown in Fig. 3.From figure 3, it can be seen that whenever, PMOS transistor MP_CORE and nmos pass transistor MN_CORE, each element In any two ends cross-pressure, both less than or equal to 1V, therefore the problem of there is no reliability.
Because in stable state, LDO 30 driving stage is with core parts (a PMOS transistor MP_CORE and a NMOS Transistor MN_CORE), to supply electric current.It was found from design and analog result, whether in silicon area and PSRR PSRR's considers, and LDO 30 performance supplies the LDO 10 and 20 of electric current all than the transmission import and export element in known technology That comes is outstanding.
Fig. 7 displays are according to another embodiment of the present invention.It is by PMOS transistor MP_ in Fig. 2 embodiments in LDO 50 CORE is replaced into nmos pass transistor MN2_CORE.Because nmos pass transistor MN2_CORE needs higher grid voltage to open, There is provided another bleeder circuit 54 in LDO 50, it is coupled between 3.3V electric wire wire AVDD3P3 and ground power line, passes through Partial pressure end S2P2 provides 2.2V voltage.When comparator 34 export logical value " 0 " when, PROT_G is grounded by multiplexer 38, with true Nmos pass transistor MN2_CORE is protected to close;When comparator 34 export logical value " 1 " when, multiplexer 38 is by PROT_G connections 2.2V's Voltage is to open nmos pass transistor MN2_CORE.
Fig. 8 displays are according to another embodiment of the present invention.It is by nmos pass transistor MN_ in Fig. 2 embodiments in LDO 60 CORE is replaced into PMOS transistor MP2_CORE.And two input reversal connections of the operational amplifier 12 in Fig. 2, turn into fig. 8 Operational amplifier 62.But nmos pass transistor MN_CORE is replaced into PMOS transistor MP2_CORE to cause poor power supply Rejection ratio PRSS.It the foregoing is only presently preferred embodiments of the present invention, all impartial changes done according to scope of the present invention patent Change and modify, should all belong to the covering scope of the present invention.
