When the type of the tube is changed, the circuit structure needs to be adjusted accordingly, and the detailed description is omitted here.
In detail, for the low dropout linear regulator, there are two cases that the difference between the input voltage VDD and the output voltage Vout is reduced:
(1) when the input voltage VDD at one end of the adjusting tube is reduced, the output voltage Vout at the other end of the adjusting tube is reduced, and the feedback voltage V connected to the error amplifier EA is reducedFBWith decreasing output voltage VoutThe voltage drop at two ends of the adjusting tube is reduced, so that the output voltage Vout is increased in a phase-changing manner, and finally the output voltage Vout is unchanged; that is to say, when the input voltage VDD decreases, the output voltage Vout is reduced and then restored, and finally the difference between the input voltage VDD and the output voltage Vout decreases accordingly, the output voltage of the error amplifier EA decreases with the decrease of the input voltage VDD, and meanwhile, through the amplification of the error amplifier EA, the reduction range of the output voltage of the error amplifier EA is greater than the reduction range of the input voltage VDD, so that the difference between the input voltage VDD and the output voltage of the error amplifier EA increases with the decrease of the input voltage VDD.
(2) When the output voltage Vout is increased due to abnormal load on the output voltage Vout side, the feedback voltage V of the error amplifier EA is connectedFBThe output voltage Vout is increased along with the increase of the output voltage Vout, so that the output voltage of the error amplifier EA is increased, the current flowing through the adjusting tube is increased, the voltage drop at two ends of the adjusting tube is increased, the output voltage Vout is reduced in a phase-changing manner, and finally the output voltage Vout is unchanged; that is, when the input voltage VDD is not changed and the output voltage Vout is increased, the output voltage Vout is corrected by the feedback loop quickly, and at this time, the difference between the input voltage VDD and the output voltage Vout is reduced instantaneously and then restored quickly without detection.
Therefore, as shown in fig. 1, the entire voltage difference detection circuit mainly detects that the difference between the input voltage VDD and the output voltage Vout is reduced due to the reduction of the input voltage VDD in the low-dropout linear regulator, and the corresponding operation principle is as follows:
1) when the input voltage VDD decreases and the difference between the input voltage VDD and the output voltage of the error amplifier EA is smaller than I1 × R1+ | Vtp |, the first MOS transistor M1 is turned off, neither the second detection branch nor the third detection branch is turned on, and the detection signal ERR output by the third detection branch is at a low level (zero), at this time, the decreased value of the input voltage VDD is acceptable, the low dropout linear regulator operates normally, only the first detection branch is turned on, and the current consumed by the whole dropout detection circuit is the first current I1, where Vtp is the threshold voltage of the first MOS transistor M1 (i.e., the gate-source voltage when the first MOS transistor M1 is turned on);
2) when the input voltage VDD is continuously decreased and the difference between the input voltage VDD and the output voltage of the error amplifier EA is greater than or equal to I1 × R1+ | Vtp |, the first MOS transistor M1 is turned on, the second detection branch and the third detection branch are simultaneously turned on, the detection signal ERR output by the third detection branch is high level, which warns the outside to prompt that the input voltage VDD is lower than the limit value, at this time, the decrease value of the input voltage VDD exceeds a certain range, the low dropout linear regulator operates abnormally, the first detection branch, the second detection branch and the third detection branch are all turned on, and consumed currents include a first current I1 flowing through the first detection branch, a second current I2 flowing through the second detection branch and a third current I3 flowing through the third detection branch.
In more detail, as shown in fig. 1, the minimum value of the input voltage VDD is also determined by the first detection branch: VDD (u)MIN≥(R1+R2)*I1+VBE+VREFVtn, where VDDMINIs the minimum value of the input voltage VDD, VBEThe BE junction voltage of the transistor Q1, Vtn is the threshold voltage of the first MOS transistor M1.
In addition, the invention also provides a low dropout regulator which comprises the voltage difference detection circuit, and the voltage difference detection circuit can detect and warn the difference value of the input voltage VDD and the output voltage Vout in real time.
In detail, to verify the technical effect of the voltage difference detection circuit of the present invention, in an embodiment of the present invention, the output voltage Vout is designed to be 3.3V, and the reference voltage V is designed to beREFAbout 1.2V, the first current I1 is 4 μ A, the second current I2 is 500nA, the third current I3 is 250nA, the first resistor R1 is 77K Ω, the second resistor R2 is 35K Ω, the minimum voltage difference between the input voltage VDD and the output voltage Vout is 130mV, and the detection threshold of the voltage difference between the input voltage VDD and the output voltage Vout is about 170mV, as shown in the simulations of FIGS. 2-3.
In more detail, as shown in fig. 2, when the difference between the input voltage VDD and the output voltage Vout is greater than or equal to 130mV, the output voltage Vout can be stably maintained at 3.3V, that is: when the input voltage VDD is equal to or greater than 3.43V, the output voltage Vout is 3.3V.
In more detail, as shown in fig. 3, when the output voltage Vout is 3.3V and the difference between the input voltage VDD and the output voltage Vout is greater than 173mV, the detection signal ERR is at a low level; when the difference between the input voltage VDD and the output voltage Vout is less than 170mV, the detection signal ERR is at a high level. That is, when the difference between the input voltage VDD and the output voltage Vout is reduced to 170 to 173mV, the detection signal ERR is inverted and changes from low level to high level.
In summary, the voltage difference detection circuit and the low dropout regulator provided by the present invention utilize the inherent error amplifier and the reference voltage in the structure of the low dropout regulator, and combine with the detection branch formed by the additionally added few components, and the difference change between the input voltage of the low dropout regulator and the output voltage of the low dropout regulator can be judged according to the level change of the detection signal output by the detection branch, so as to realize the abnormal monitoring of the input voltage of the low dropout regulator and the output voltage of the low dropout regulator, and the voltage difference detection circuit abandons the sampling circuit and the comparison circuit required in the prior art, has a simple circuit structure, and reduces the power consumption and the cost; meanwhile, the differential pressure detection circuit detects the difference value between the input voltage of the low-dropout linear regulator and the output voltage of the low-dropout linear regulator, and a detection circuit does not need to be designed for the input voltage of the low-dropout linear regulator and the output voltage of the low-dropout linear regulator respectively, so that the power consumption and the cost are further reduced.
