For example, an apparatus may be implemented and/or a method practiced using any number of the aspects set forth herein. In addition, such apparatus may be implemented and/or such methods practiced using other structure and/or functionality in addition to one or more of the aspects set forth herein.
It should also be noted that the illustrations provided in the following embodiments merely illustrate the basic concepts of the disclosure by way of illustration, and only the components related to the disclosure are shown in the drawings and are not drawn according to the number, shape and size of the components in actual implementation, and the form, number and proportion of the components in actual implementation may be arbitrarily changed, and the layout of the components may be more complicated.
In addition, in the following description, specific details are provided in order to provide a thorough understanding of the examples. However, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the aspects may be practiced without these specific details.
Referring to fig. 1, a conventional differential bus driver architecture is shown in fig. 1. The PMOS transistor 10 and the diode 11 are connected to the power supply and the high-side bus, and the NMOS transistor 13 and the diode 12 are connected to the ground and the low-side bus. The PMOS transistor 10 and the NMOS transistor 13 are directly controlled by a switch or a current source, and lack slew rate control. In order to bear positive and negative high voltages, the PMOS transistor 10 and the NMOS transistor 13 must be high voltage transistors, and the symmetry of bus driving is poor due to poor matching of the high voltage transistors.
Referring to fig. 2, a typical waveform for differential bus (CAN) communications is shown in fig. 2. In the recessive state (logic 1 is input), the high-side bus and the low-side bus voltages are Vcc/2; in the dominant state (input logic 0), the high side bus is pulled high and the low side bus is pulled low. Due to the influence of driving capability and parasitic capacitance, the differential bus is often not symmetrically pulled up or pulled down, so that the common mode point potential ((high-side bus+low-side bus)/2) of the differential bus can shake, electromagnetic radiation is generated, and communication of other devices is affected.
Next, the slew rate adjustable differential bus driver of the present invention is described with reference to fig. 3-6.
Referring to fig. 3, a novel differential bus driver architecture of the present invention is shown in fig. 3. Comprising the following steps: the high-side first-stage driving circuit, the high-side third-stage driving circuit and the high-side second-stage driving circuit are sequentially connected to the high-side bus terminal; the low-side first-stage driving circuit, the low-side second-stage driving circuit and the low-side third-stage driving circuit are sequentially connected to the low-side bus terminal; the high-side first-stage driving circuit and the low-side first-stage driving circuit are configured to isolate a negative high voltage of a bus terminal, and the high-side second-stage driving circuit and the low-side second-stage driving circuit are configured to isolate a positive high voltage of the bus terminal; the Gao Cedi-level and low-side third-level drive circuits are configured to control rising and falling edge slew rates of the differential bus.
The high-side bus is connected to the power supply through the first, second and third stages, respectively, and the low-side bus is also connected to ground through the first, second and third stages. The two-sided buses all employ a symmetrical three stage architecture, wherein the first stage is configured to withstand negative high voltages, while positive high voltages pass through it, and the second stage is configured to withstand positive high voltages, such that neither positive nor negative high voltages enter the third stage. The third stage is a low slew rate drive stage for controlling the rising and falling edge slopes of the bus, requiring high consistency and symmetry.
Referring to fig. 4, a detailed implementation of the first and second stages on the high and low sides is shown in fig. 4. The high-side and low-side buses enter the high-voltage NMOS transistor 41 in the second stage through the high-voltage PMOS transistor 40 in the first stage, respectively, and the output (source) of the NMOS transistor 41 is connected to the third stage. The first stage employs a high voltage PMOS tube 40 to isolate the negative pressure on the bus side, which is connected to the bus. When the bus is negative, the source and gate of the high voltage PMOS transistor 40 can be kept not pulled down in the normal low voltage range, and when the bus is positive, the positive voltage flows into the second stage through the high voltage PMOS transistor 40. The zener diode 42 is used for maintaining the voltage difference between the gate and the source of the high-voltage PMOS transistor 40 in the low-voltage range, so as to ensure that the gate oxide thereof is not broken down. The second stage adopts a high-voltage NMOS tube 41 to isolate positive high voltage, the high-voltage side of the high-voltage NMOS tube is connected with the output of the first stage, and the source stage of the high-voltage NMOS tube is connected with the third stage. Thus, the third stage sees a low voltage domain, regardless of whether the bus side is positive or negative high voltage.
Referring to fig. 5, a specific implementation of the low-side bus third stage drive circuit is shown in fig. 5. The first low-voltage NMOS 50 and the second low-voltage NMOS 51 are current mirror type to drive the bus, the drain of the first low-voltage NMOS 50 is connected to the output of the second stage in fig. 4, and the first current source and the first resistor 52 are used to charge and discharge the current mirror first low-voltage NMOS 50 and the second low-voltage NMOS 51. When the bus is dominant driving, the first switch 54 is closed, the second switch 53 is opened, the bias current 55 (first current source) charges the current mirror (first low voltage NMOS 50, second low voltage NMOS 51), the miller capacitance (first capacitance 56) connects the gates of the first low voltage NMOS 50 and the second low voltage NMOS 51, and the drain (third stage input) of the first low voltage NMOS 50. Due to the miller capacitance effect, the drain falling slope of the first low voltage NMOS transistor 50 is equal to Ibias/Cc, ibias being the current value of the bias current 55, cc being the capacitance value of the first capacitor 56. The falling edge slew rate of the bus can be adjusted by adjusting the capacitance and the bias current. During recessive driving, the first switch 54 is opened and the second switch 53 is closed, and the gate of the current mirror is discharged to ground through the first resistor 52. Similarly, due to the miller capacitance effect, the drain rising slope of the first low voltage NMOS 50 is equal to Vth/(r×cc), where R is the resistance of the first resistor 52, and Vth is the threshold voltage of the current mirror. The slew rate of the rising edge of the bus can be adjusted by adjusting the first resistor 52.
Referring to fig. 6, a specific implementation of a third stage of the high-side bus is shown in fig. 6. The first low-voltage PMOS transistor 60 and the second low-voltage PMOS transistor 61 are in a current mirror form to drive the bus, the drain of the first low-voltage PMOS transistor 60 is connected to the output of the second stage in fig. 4, and the second current source and the second resistor 62 are used for charging and discharging the current mirror first low-voltage PMOS transistor 60 and the second low-voltage PMOS transistor 61. At the time of dominant driving, the third switch 64 is closed, the fourth switch 63 is opened, the bias current 65 (second current source) charges the current mirror (first low voltage PMOS transistor 60, second low voltage PMOS transistor 61), the miller capacitance (second capacitance 66) connects the gates of the first low voltage PMOS transistor 60 and the second low voltage PMOS transistor 61, and the drain (third stage input) of the first low voltage PMOS transistor 60. Due to the miller capacitance effect, the drain rising slope of the first low voltage PMOS transistor 60 is equal to Ibias/Cc, ibias is the current value of the bias current 65, cc is the capacitance value of the second capacitor 66. The rising edge slew rate of the bus can be adjusted by adjusting the capacitance and the bias current. At the time of the recessive driving, the third switch 64 is opened, the fourth switch 63 is closed, and the gate of the current mirror is discharged to the ground through the second resistor 62. Similarly, due to the miller capacitance effect, the drain falling slope of the first low voltage PMOS transistor 60 is equal to Vth/(r×cc), R is the resistance of the second resistor 62, and Vth is the threshold voltage of the current mirror. Adjusting the second resistor 62 adjusts the falling edge slew rate of the bus.
The foregoing is merely specific embodiments of the disclosure, but the protection scope of the disclosure is not limited thereto, and any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope of the disclosure are intended to be covered by the protection scope of the disclosure. Therefore, the protection scope of the present disclosure shall be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
