Description

A kind of current sample comparator circuit
Technical field
The invention belongs to switch power supply current sampling technique field more particularly to a kind of current sample comparator circuits.
Background technique
Since the double -loop control of voltage loop and current loop is to the loop stability of Switching Power Supply and to input ripple Inhibit that there is special advantage, so the control of Switching Power Supply has been transitioned into present stream from the control of the monocycle of original voltage loop Capable double -loop control.Due to each period need detect, judgement, control switch electric current size, so how efficient and accurate Ground detection becomes the project that people constantly study by the size of current of power switch.
Be as shown in Figure 1 commonly by below power tube series resistance pass through function come faradic sample mode The electric current of rate switching tube generates pressure drop on sampling resistor, which is compared with threshold voltage by comparator and can be determined The size of constant current, adjusting threshold voltage can control open alive size.The maximum advantage of the mode of this sampling is just Be it is simple, direct, in the application for being relatively suitble to electric current little, so the field class reference in the ACDC of middle low power is the widest General, because ACDC input voltage itself is high, corresponding exciting current is with regard to less than normal.But in the biggish ACDC of power and medium function In the application of the lower DCDC of the input voltage of rate, since exciting current is larger, sampling resistor fever does not only result in Switching Power Supply Inefficiency, and be easily damaged.The area of sampling resistor is larger, and needing together could be by big by multiple resistor coupled in parallel Electric current.In the biggish application of electric current, current sample is usually carried out using following three kinds of modes:
The first, by the way of current transformer.As shown in Fig. 2, concatenated below power switch tube is not sampling Resistance instead a current transformer.Electric current is flowed into from main transformer, is flowed out from secondary side, and the electric current of this outflow is declined N times is subtracted, the multiple decayed is the ratio between the turn ratio number of mutual inductor main transformer and secondary side.Electric current after proportional decaying recycles electricity Resistance is just easy to sample.The advantages of this mode is exactly sampling efficiency height, because the internal resistance of mutual inductor coil is small.Disadvantage It is that such mutual inductor needs magnetic core, volume is not small, it is not easy to it manufactures, it is at high cost.And based on practical experience, in the application The phenomenon that failing because of open circuit can often occur.
Second, the mode of differential amplification sampling resistor voltage.Such as there is the chip of model INA180 in TI company, can incite somebody to action It tens times of sampling resistor voltage amplification, is then compared again with the threshold voltage of control size of current, in this case samples electricity Resistance can exponentially reduce.Why need first then to compare sampled voltage differential amplification with threshold voltage again, rather than handle Compare threshold value reduces at double, is because the latter greatly drops still with the voltage on sampling resistor directly compared with threshold voltage The signal-to-noise ratio of low sampling.For example, the original minimum value of threshold voltage in Fig. 3 is 200mV, maximum value is 1V, if threshold value electricity Pressure is reduced to 1/50, although sampling resistor can also correspondingly reduce 1/50, comparative threshold voltage minimum value becomes 4mV, Maximum value becomes 20mV, this is very small comparison voltage, the switching noise or resistance generated on sampling resistor to chip Interference signal on internal path is all likely to be more than this voltage, the shutdown of false triggering power switch tube.First use differential amplification Device amplifies sampled voltage, since two input ports are connected directly between the both ends of resistance, and in close proximity, interference signal It is considered as common-mode signal and is suppressed, generates the resistance of amplification factor and portion and matched in the chip, also error is prevented to put Big device itself generates additional noise, so noise can greatly be inhibited by first carrying out pre-amplification in this way, improves signal-to-noise ratio. The advantages of this kind of sample mode is exactly to reduce sampling resistor to a certain extent, reduces loss and resistance accounts for plate suqare, the disadvantage is that The multiple of pre-amplification is limited, and otherwise still has the problem of noise acoustic ratio difference, while the offset voltage pair of difference amplifier The precision of current sample has direct influence, and the voltage before offset voltage and amplification is in the same order of magnitude.
The third, using dead resistance existing for power MOS pipe source electrode itself or the internal resistance of its own as sampling electricity It hinders and carrys out faradic size, do not cause unnecessary loss in this way for the additional series resistance of sample rate current, therefore often Referred to as no loss current samples.As shown in figure 4, being the original that common chip interior integrates LDNMOS one kind chip current sampling section Block diagram is managed, the sampling resistor RSENSE below power tube is the dead resistance of power tube source metal routing, is inherently present. The internal resistance of metal routing is very little, so needing pre-amplification sampling to be compared, so that there are second of sample mode is the same Signal-to-noise ratio the problems such as, simultaneously because the resistance low precision and positive temperature coefficient of metal routing are big, so this electric current is adopted The low precision of sample, generally except ± 20%.
Be compared to the above various current sample modes and be easy to obtain: each mode has respective advantage and disadvantage, simultaneously With a same feature, being exactly all is electric current to be converted into voltage, then passes through comparator and current limit size again Threshold voltage is compared, and such comparator will accomplish high speed and high-precision, requires biggish area and power consumption.

Working principle is that, when the control port 102 of current ratio inductor 201 is high level, power MOS pipe NM0 is led It is logical, power current IinConduction voltage drop is formed by power MOS pipe NM0, while operational amplifier OPA also starts to detect, it is with three Pole pipe PM1 forms voltage follower, according to the principle of operation amplifier it is found that operational amplifier OPA can control the grid of triode PM1 Pole tension generates certain follow current, which can also flow into detection metal-oxide-semiconductor NM1, finally makes the drain electrode electricity of NM0 and NM1 It presses equal.NM0 and NM1 is same type of various sizes of N-channel transistor, and driving voltage having the same, it is assumed that The size of NM0 is n times of NM1, and the conducting resistance of NM0 is r0, is readily apparent that the conducting resistance of NM1 is n*r0, by NM0 and NM1 Drain voltage it is equal available:
Iin*r0=IPM1*n*r0
It is so n/mono- of power current Iin by the follow current of triode PM1.
In order to guarantee the matching precision of NM0 and NM1, i.e., when the size of NM0 is n times of NM1, the conducting resistance of NM1 It is approximately n times of NM0, the size of NM1 cannot be designed too small, otherwise due to device parameters boundary effect caused by undersized Matching precision is caused to be deteriorated, so multiple n cannot be too big.It is also so no small by the electric current of PM1, for example, passing through power Electric current 2A, the n=5000 of metal-oxide-semiconductor NM0, the electric current by triode PM1 are 400uA.On the one hand the current value is directly as electricity The input for flowing comparator is still too big, on the other hand can only flow into detection metal-oxide-semiconductor NM1 by the electric current of triode PM1 so as to it Drain voltage is equal with power MOS pipe NM0's, and cannot function as the output electric current of current ratio inductor.So needing to utilize The follow current for passing through triode PM1 with the triode PM2 mirror image of triode PM1 same type again decays current ratio m Times, and the output electric current as current ratio inductor.It is assumed that m=8, then the multiple decayed in total is mn=400000 times, as The precision that proportionally decaying twice is greatly improved electric current induction in this way can be made simultaneously because output electric current is reduced to 50uA For the input current of current comparator.
First illustrate that current source and electric current leak the two technical terms in integrated circuit before illustrating current comparator, as three The electric current that pole pipe PM2 is generated is flowed into from the positive port of power input, is flowed out from the drain electrode of triode PM2, which can be used as other The input source signal of circuit, so frequently referred to current source.The metal-oxide-semiconductor NM3 in specific implementation circuit such as Fig. 7 that electric current leaks in Fig. 6, Electric current is flowed into from the drain electrode of metal-oxide-semiconductor NM3, from source electrode outflow and directly to input voltage negative terminal mouth 108, so it is only to absorb electricity Stream, seems that the funnel of an electric current is the same, and frequently referred to electric current leaks.
For triode PM2 as input current source, the electric current that metal-oxide-semiconductor NM3 is formed leaks the load end compared as electric current, due to The small signal impedance of triode PM2 and metal-oxide-semiconductor NM3 are larger, and the one-stage amplifier that they are formed may be implemented tens of or even hundreds of Gain again, then when the electric current of triode PM2 output is greater than electric current and leaks the electric current that can be absorbed, with the increasing of current differential Add drain voltage to gradually increase, is finally reached the maximum voltage of power supply.As one-stage amplifier has certain amplification factor, but Be due to not big enough and to make drain voltage increase not fast enough, so in the application not high for required precision, with Schmidt's handle Drain voltage waveform is shaped to logic level, can be as the judging result of size of current.As commonly used in integrated circuit in Fig. 7 Schmidt's structure, the electric current of triode PM2 be more than electric current leakage allow by the certain amplitude of current value, Schmidt's output is low Level indicates that power current is bigger than normal.
Two-stage amplification can also be used in current comparator 202, as shown in Figure 8.Current comparator 202 includes: electric current leakage, MOS Pipe NM8 and load resistance R1;The input port of electric current leakage is connect with the grid of metal-oxide-semiconductor NM8, and the electric current as current comparator Input port 106;The output port of electric current leakage is connect with the source electrode of metal-oxide-semiconductor NM8;The drain electrode of metal-oxide-semiconductor NM8 and load resistance R1 mono- End connection and the comparison result output port 109 as current comparator;The load resistance R1 other end is as input voltage anode Mouth 110.
Input current and metal-oxide-semiconductor NM3 form first order trans-impedance amplifier, the drain electrode electricity that its amplification output voltage is NM3 Pressure.Second level voltage amplification is made of metal-oxide-semiconductor NM8 and load resistance R1, it is a common-source amplifier, if with tri- pole npn Pipe replacing metal-oxide-semiconductor NM8 is exactly grounded emitter amplifier, also through replacing load resistance as load frequently with current source in integrated road R1。
This current sample comparator is used in Switching Power Supply, as long as the output voltage of pressure stabilizing error amplifier controls The size of threshold current Ith can control its size of current by power MOS pipe switch, and constantly regulate duty ratio makes to switch The output voltage stabilization of power supply is in setting value.

Current comparator 302 includes: metal-oxide-semiconductor PM3, metal-oxide-semiconductor PM4, metal-oxide-semiconductor NM9 and load resistance R2.The leakage of metal-oxide-semiconductor PM4 Pole is connect with the grid of metal-oxide-semiconductor NM9, and the current input terminal mouth 106 as current comparator;The drain electrode and load of metal-oxide-semiconductor NM9 The second port of resistance R2 connects, and the comparison result output port 109 as current comparator;The grid of metal-oxide-semiconductor PM3 with The drain electrode of metal-oxide-semiconductor PM3 connects, and as threshold current input port 107;The source electrode of metal-oxide-semiconductor PM3 and the source electrode of metal-oxide-semiconductor PM4 and The first port of load resistance R2 connects, and as the positive port 110 of input voltage;The source electrode of metal-oxide-semiconductor NM9 is negative as input voltage Port 108.
The voltage high-side current sampling comparator of embodiment 2 samples ratio with the voltage low-side current of embodiment 1 in principle It is the same, and port having the same compared with device, only because the difference of current direction, according to common technical term, device The title of part is different.For example, operational amplifier controls three in order to enable power MOS pipe is equal with the detection conduction voltage drop of metal-oxide-semiconductor Pole pipe NM6 extracts follow current, the negative injection before being equivalent to.So electric current of triode NM7 scaled mirror triode NM6, What is formed is that an electric current from triode NM7 drain electrode to power ground leaks, and the electric current of electric current leakage is as the defeated of current comparator Enter signal, the corresponding load end of operational amplifier is current source, it is flowed through the control of metal-oxide-semiconductor PM3 by metal-oxide-semiconductor PM4 mirror image Electric current is formed.When the electric current for flowing through power MOS pipe NM4 to be sampled is bigger than normal, triode NM7 allow by electric current be greater than The electric current that metal-oxide-semiconductor PM4 is provided, then the grid voltage of common-source amplifier metal-oxide-semiconductor NM9 reduces, comparison result output port 109 becomes For low level, so that low level indicates that power MOS pipe NM4 electric current is bigger than normal.
The application implementation circuit that the present invention is sampled in voltage high-side current, just can be used for the electric current of the power MOS pipe of P-channel In sampling, as shown in Figure 9.Shown in Figure 10, power MOS pipe becomes P-channel MOS by N-channel MOS pipe NM4 on circuit structure Pipe PM5 detects metal-oxide-semiconductor by N-channel MOS pipe NM5 and becomes P-channel metal-oxide-semiconductor PM6, the negative input mouth VN of operational amplifier There is a circle to indicate that operational amplifier carries out current sample when low level effectively inputs.Because P-channel metal-oxide-semiconductor opens threshold Threshold voltage is negative value, so the significant level of control driving signal Drive_L is low level, i.e., power MOS when it is low-voltage Pipe and detection metal-oxide-semiconductor conducting, and operational amplifier carries out current sample.The circuit and function of other parts are identical, tools Body running principle repeats no more.
In conjunction with the embodiments 1 and embodiment 2, it is same type on same chip with power MOS pipe that the present invention, which detects metal-oxide-semiconductor to be, Various sizes of insulated gate transistor, in power MOS pipe conducting, detection metal-oxide-semiconductor is also conducting, and they are in identical electricity It presses and is connected under the grid source driving voltage of size.When power MOS pipe is connected, produced in power MOS pipe conducting internal resistance to induced current Raw conducting voltage, the conducting voltage are copied to by operational amplifier in the conducting resistance of detection metal-oxide-semiconductor, and follow current is generated.
Follow current refers to, operational amplifier is in order to make to detect the conducting voltage of metal-oxide-semiconductor and the conducting voltage of power MOS pipe It is equal, it is necessary to the conducting resistance that certain electric current flows through detection metal-oxide-semiconductor to be injected or extract, when could make two metal-oxide-semiconductor conductings Pressure drop it is equal, inject or the electric current that extracts be follow current.Since two metal-oxide-semiconductors are same type of N on same chip Channel transistor, and be connected under identical driving voltage, thus resistivity having the same, then flowing through detection metal-oxide-semiconductor Follow current be to flow through power MOS pipe be to induced current it is proportional, proportionality coefficient is their dimension scale system Number.
Current comparator is using the follow current mirror current source of current ratio inductor output as input stage, and with one Controllable current leakage or current source form first order trans-impedance amplifier as load.The output voltage of trans-impedance amplifier is using altogether Source or the amplification of the second level of common emitter amplifier or Schmidt's shaping, can accurately compare the electric current of mirror current source and electric current leakage Size.
Controllable current leakage refers to that the size of current of electric current leakage can control, and changes with the variation of control signal, But the size of current of electric current leakage is constant when controlling signal stabilization.
Compared with traditional sampling technique, the advantages of present invention has both other current samples:
Firstly, signal source of the voltage that is generated in the internal resistance of power MOS pipe of electric current to be sampled as sampling, because being not required to It wants series resistance or mutual inductor and causes the increase of extra resistance, therefore have the advantages that the high-efficient of lossless sampling;Secondly, with The mode of differential amplification resistance sampling voltage is compared, the internal resistance of power MOS pipe much larger than concatenated sampling resistor resistance value, from And in comparison the conduction voltage drop of power MOS pipe is biggish, then noise is relatively high, in addition sampling of the invention is in inner core It is realized inside piece, common-mode noise is eliminated by difference sampling;Again, acted on by the voltage follow of operational amplifier, with The low current proportional to power MOS pipe electric current is generated on the identical device of power MOS pipe, i.e., it is real in the way of voltage operational The similar function of magnetic coupling mode of existing current transformer, thus the size and temperature of the size of electric current and power MOS pipe internal resistance Coefficient is unrelated, effectively improves the precision of current sample;Finally, the electric current sampled directly passes through current comparator and current threshold Compare, small power consumption, speed are fast, circuit is simple and area is small.
So the present invention may be implemented size be pacify times rank power current sampling, and and size in microampere rank Bias current leakage electric current be compared.When the electric current of follow current mirror current source is greater than the electric current of controllable current leakage, First trans-impedance amplifier exports higher voltage, which amplifies using second level amplifier, and output indicates sampling mirror image electricity Stream is greater than the logic level of controllable current leakage current, switch-off power metal-oxide-semiconductor under the action of this logic level, and control passes through power The size of current of metal-oxide-semiconductor.As long as being put in this way, the signal voltage of reflection switch power source output voltage is carried out error with reference voltage The big size of current for changing controllable current leakage later, so that it may the size of current of metal-oxide-semiconductor is adjusted, in other words the accounting of Switching Power Supply, Finally make the output voltage stabilization of Switching Power Supply in setting value.
Therefore, in view of the technology of existing current sample, self shortcoming is also apparent while keeping respective advantage, The invention proposes a kind of new sample modes, learn from other's strong points to offset one's weaknesses, take into account sampling efficiency, the quality of sampled signal and precision, cost, Efficient sampling efficiency, high sampling quality and inexpensive beneficial effect are obtained simultaneously.
