Background
When the power supply system is in output short circuit, if the protection is improper, the chip is easy to lose efficacy or the energy loss is large, the heating is large, and therefore various short circuit protection circuits are arranged on the power supply. The common short circuit judgment is to detect the voltage of a feedback pin of a chip, if the voltage of the feedback pin is obviously lower than the voltage during normal work, the system is considered to be short-circuited, but when the system is started or the load suddenly changes, the method possibly has the phenomenon of misjudgment to interfere with the normal work.
This method has the following problems:
1) when the system is just powered on and the output voltage is not established, the voltage of a feedback pin of the chip is also obviously lower than the voltage during normal work, and at the moment, the chip considers that the output is in a short-circuit state, so that the starting time is overlong or the normal starting cannot be performed;
2) when the load suddenly changes, for example, the load suddenly changes from light load to heavy load, the output voltage may be pulled relatively low, so that the system misjudges, and the output voltage cannot be reconstructed, or the speed of reconstructing the output voltage is too low;
3) when the temperature changes, part of key current in the circuit changes, so that the judgment is inaccurate.

The core idea of the invention is to provide a short circuit detection circuit, a short circuit protection circuit and a chip, so as to solve the problem that the short circuit detection circuit in the prior art is easy to make a misjudgment on whether a system is short-circuited.
The following description refers to the accompanying drawings.
Referring to fig. 1 to 4, in which fig. 1 is a circuit schematic diagram of a short-circuit protection circuit according to an embodiment of the invention; FIG. 2 is a waveform diagram of a first comparator under an operating condition according to an embodiment of the present invention; FIG. 3 is a circuit diagram of a chip according to an embodiment of the invention; FIG. 4 is a waveform diagram of a chip under an operating condition according to an embodiment of the invention.
As shown in fig. 1, the present embodiment provides a short-circuit protection circuit, which includes a short-circuit detection circuit and a protection signal generation unit 4, and the short-circuit detection circuit is mainly designed to determine whether a short circuit occurs in a power supply system to be protected by checking whether an output voltage of the power supply system to be protected is lower than a fixed value. Meanwhile, the capacitor is charged for timing, and the short-circuit signal is output only after the capacitor is charged to reach a certain voltage (which is equivalent to timing for a certain time). In the subsequent part of the description, a chip for supplying power is described, which chip itself is the power supply system to be protected. In other embodiments, the power supply system to be protected may be other forms of power supply circuits or chips.
The short circuit detection circuit includes a signal measurement unit 1, a signal processing unit 2, and a signal stabilization unit 3.
The input end of the signal measuring unit 1 is configured as the input end of the short-circuit detection circuit, the input end of the signal measuring unit is used for obtaining the characteristic value VFB of the output voltage of the power supply system to be protected, the output end of the signal measuring unit is connected with the input end of the signal processing unit, and when the input end of the signal measuring unit meets a first preset condition, the signal measuring unit outputs a first level.
The characteristic value of the output voltage of the power supply system to be protected should be understood according to the following concept, where the characteristic value may be the output voltage of the power supply system to be protected, a voltage value obtained after the output voltage of the power supply system to be protected is subjected to voltage division or voltage boost, a current value obtained after the output voltage of the power supply system to be protected is converted by another element, or another signal. In summary, if a signal value is generated based on the output voltage of the power supply system to be protected, and the output voltage of the power supply system to be protected can be obtained by the back-stepping of the signal, the signal value can be regarded as the characteristic value of the output voltage of the power supply system to be protected. The subsequent characteristic value of the output current of the power supply system to be protected is also to be understood in accordance with this concept. In this embodiment, the characteristic value VFB of the output voltage of the power supply system to be protected is obtained by dividing the output voltage of the power supply system to be protected by resistors.
The first level may be set to a low level or a high level as required, and in this embodiment, the first level is a high level.
The first preset condition includes: when the signal measuring unit 1 does not output the first level, the voltage of the input end of the signal measuring unit 1 is lower than a first preset voltage; and when the signal measuring unit 1 outputs the first level, the voltage of the input terminal of the signal measuring unit is lower than a second preset voltage. In order to ensure the stability of the signal, the first preset voltage is smaller than the second preset voltage.
Referring to fig. 1, the signal measuring unit 1 includes a first comparator OP1, a third resistor R3, a fourth resistor R4, and a fifth resistor R5, wherein a first end of the third resistor R3 is used for obtaining a reference voltage VREF, and the first preset voltage and the second preset voltage are obtained based on the reference voltage VREF. It is to be understood that "… … is derived based on the reference voltage VREF", it is to be understood that the object to be described is physically derived by dividing, adding, superimposing, transforming, etc. based on the reference voltage VREF; will vary in value with the variation in the reference voltage VREF. The same descriptions in the following can also be understood in light of the above-described ideas.
It is to be understood that the reference voltage VREF is provided by external circuitry for the short protection circuit and the short detection circuit. In the short circuit detection circuit, only the short circuit detection circuit is used as a basis for logic judgment. The specific value of the reference voltage VREF can be set according to actual needs.
A signal negative input terminal of the first comparator OP1 is set as an input terminal of the signal measuring unit 1, a signal positive input terminal of the first comparator OP1 is connected with a second terminal of the third resistor R3, a positive power input terminal of the first comparator OP1 is connected with a power supply VCC, a negative power input terminal of the first comparator OP1 is grounded, and an output terminal of the first comparator OP1 is configured as an output terminal of the signal measuring unit 1.
One end of the fourth resistor R4 is connected to the second end of the third resistor R3, and the other end of the fourth resistor R4 is grounded.
One end of the fifth resistor R5 is connected to the positive signal input end of the first comparator OP1, and the other end of the fifth resistor R5 is connected to the output end of the first comparator OP 1.
The first preset voltage and the second preset voltage may be calculated according to the connection relationship, and specifically, the first preset voltage may be calculated according to the following formula:
Figure DEST_PATH_IMAGE001
wherein VL1 represents the first predetermined voltage, and R3, R4 and R5 all represent the resistance of the same-sign element.
The second preset voltage may be calculated by the following equation:
Figure DEST_PATH_IMAGE002
wherein VH1 represents the second predetermined voltage.
Based on the above calculation, a waveform diagram of the first comparator OP1 under a working condition, that is, fig. 2, can be obtained. In fig. 2, VA is a voltage at the output terminal of the first comparator OP 1. As can be seen from fig. 2, when the input signal rises and falls, the switching point of the output level of the first comparator OP1 is different. With the adoption of the configuration, when the characteristic value VFB voltage of the output voltage of the power supply system to be protected is at a critical point, the VA voltage is prevented from fluctuating, so that the system misjudgment is avoided. Furthermore, the voltages of the first preset voltage and the second preset voltage are set to be closer, so that the accuracy of the FB voltage determination value is improved. The setting method can be that the resistance value settings of the third resistor R3, the fourth resistor R4 and the fifth resistor R5 are adjusted by combining the calculation formulas of VL1 and VH 1.
In this embodiment, the first comparator OP1 is a rail-to-rail output comparator, thereby increasing circuit accuracy.
The signal processing unit 2 includes a first transistor Q1, a second transistor Q2, a third transistor Q3, a first resistor R1, a second resistor R2, a first switching element, a second switching element 22, a first capacitor C1, and a temperature compensation element 21.
The second triode Q2 is a PNP triode, an emitter of the second triode Q2 is connected to a power VCC, a collector of the second triode Q2 is connected to the first connection terminal of the first switching element, and a base of the second triode Q2 is connected to a collector of the second triode Q2.
The second connection terminal of the first switch element is connected to the first terminal of the temperature compensation element 21, the control terminal of the first switch element is configured as the input terminal of the signal processing unit 2, and the first switch element is configured to turn on the first connection terminal and the second connection terminal of the first switch element when the control terminal of the first switch element receives the first level.
The second terminal of the temperature compensation element 21 is connected to ground through the first resistor R1.
The third triode Q3 is PNP type triode, the projecting pole of third triode Q3 passes through the power VCC is connected to second resistance R2, the base of third triode Q3 with the base of second triode Q2 is connected, the collecting electrode of third triode Q3 with the projecting pole of first triode Q1 is connected.
The first triode Q1 is a PNP type triode, the base of the first triode Q1 is connected with one end of the first capacitor C1, the other end of the first capacitor C1 is grounded, and the collector of the first triode Q1 is grounded.

The magnitude of the base current of the first transistor Q1 is influenced by the magnitude of the reference current flowing through the temperature compensation element 21; when the ambient temperature changes, the temperature compensation element 21 changes its circuit parameters, so that the reference current changes along a trend of offsetting the influence of the ambient temperature change on the base current of the first triode. In an exemplary embodiment, at the ambient temperature T1, the reference current is 10uA, and the base current of the first transistor Q1 is K × 10uA, where K is the base current of Q1 and the reference current is 0.04 based on a proportionality coefficient obtained by a circuit structure, and at this time, the base current of Q1 is 0.4 uA. At the ambient temperature T2, the coefficient K is affected by temperature and becomes 0.05, at which time the base current of Q1 is 0.5uA if the temperature compensation element 21 is not present, the reference current is adjusted to 8uA due to the presence of the temperature compensation element 21, and finally the base current of Q1 is still 0.4 uA. It should be understood that the compensation result of the temperature compensation element 21 does not need to completely cancel the influence of the change of the ambient temperature, and the change of the base current of the final Q1 can be made smaller than the change in the case where the temperature compensation element 21 is not provided, so that the description of the temperature compensation element 21 can be considered to be satisfied. The specific working principle of the temperature compensation element 21 may be that the temperature change directly brings the circuit parameter change of the element itself, or the effect is achieved by measuring the temperature change and then actively changing the circuit result inside the temperature compensation element 21. The temperature compensation element 21 may be a circuit element, a circuit composed of a plurality of circuit elements, an integrated circuit or a chip, or the like. For example, the temperature compensation element 21 may include one diode or at least two diodes connected in series in the same direction (in this embodiment, the number is 3, and D1, D2 and D3 are respectively, the end of the temperature compensation element in the same direction as the anode of the diode is configured as the first end of the temperature compensation element, and the end of the temperature compensation element in the same direction as the cathode of the diode is configured as the second end of the temperature compensation element.

The short circuit detection circuit can be applied to a capacitor with a small capacitance value, so that the short circuit detection circuit has the advantage of being easy to chip. Specifically, the analysis is as follows:

where β is the dc amplification of Q1, C1 represents the capacitance of the first capacitor C1, and t is the charging duration.
The operating logic of the signal processing unit 2 is as follows: when VA is high (i.e. the VFB voltage is too low and may be short circuited), M1 turns on, M2 turns off, the trickle current source starts operating, C1 is charged through Q1, and the C1 voltage gradually rises. When VA is low level (namely VFB voltage is high and non-short circuit state), M1 is turned off, M2 is turned on, the micro-current source stops working, M2 discharges C1, and M2 can rapidly release charges of the capacitor because the capacitor of C1 is usually in pF level, so that normal timing can be guaranteed when short circuit occurs next time. Preferably, the capacitance value of the first capacitor C1 is less than or equal to 20 pF.
To solve the problem that the beta value of the first triode Q1 is positively correlated with the temperature, which leads to the reduction of the C1 charging current I3 when the temperature is high, diodes D1, D2 and D3 are added, and when the temperature is increased, the V of the diodes is increasedDWhen the value is decreased, the value of I1 is increased, and the current value of I2 is increased to compensate the influence of the I3 current caused by the increase of beta, and the reduction of the I3 current caused by the change of the beta value can be compensated by properly selecting the number of the diodes connected in series. The number of diodes can be selected by theoretical solution or by experimental determination. And will not be described in detail in this specification.

When the protection signal generating unit 4 does not receive the short-circuit alarm signal, and the output current of the power supply system to be protected is greater than a first threshold value, the protection signal generating unit 4 outputs a current-limiting signal; when the protection signal generating unit 4 receives the short-circuit alarm signal and the output current of the power supply system to be protected is greater than a second threshold value, the protection signal generating unit 4 outputs a current-limiting signal; the first threshold is greater than the second threshold. It should be understood that there is a mapping relationship between the output current of the power supply system to be protected and the characteristic value CS of the output current of the power supply system to be protected, in this embodiment, there is a direct proportional relationship between the output current of the power supply system to be protected and the characteristic value CS of the output current of the power supply system to be protected is a voltage signal.
Referring to fig. 1, the protection signal generating unit 4 includes a third switching element 41, a ninth resistor R9, a tenth resistor R10, an eleventh resistor R11, a twelfth resistor R12, a third comparator COMP1 and a second capacitor C2.
Wherein a control terminal of the third switching element 41 is configured as a second input terminal of the protection signal generating unit 4, and the third switching element 41 is configured to turn on a first connection terminal and a second connection terminal of the third switching element when the control terminal of the third switching element 41 receives the short-circuit alarm signal.

A first terminal of the twelfth resistor R12 is configured as a first input terminal of the protection signal generating unit 4, a second terminal of the twelfth resistor R12 is connected to one terminal of the second capacitor C2, and the other terminal of the second capacitor C2 is grounded. In order to prevent the output current of the power supply system to be protected from generating a large instantaneous current, after the first end of the protection signal generating unit 4 receives a signal, the signal is filtered through R12 and C2, so as to achieve the purpose of leading edge blanking. R12 and C2 need to pay attention to the selection of the time constant, and an excessively small time constant may result in failure to achieve the purpose of leading edge blanking, resulting in erroneous determination of the protection signal generation unit 4, and an excessively large time constant may result in excessively slow OCP response speed, which affects system stability. The specific selection results can be obtained by calculation or experiment according to actual needs by those skilled in the art, and are not described in detail in the specification.

Figure DEST_PATH_IMAGE010

Figure DEST_PATH_IMAGE011
in the formula, the "|" symbol represents the resistance value of the two parallel elements, VTH2 represents the sixth preset voltage, R11 represents the resistance value of the eleventh resistor, and Rdson represents the on-resistance of the third mos tube.

When the CS signal is greater than the threshold voltage of the third comparator COMP1, the signal at the output terminal of the third comparator COMP1, i.e. the OCP signal in fig. 1, is at a high level, and the subsequent circuits may accordingly turn off the output of the power supply system in one clock cycle; when the CS signal is less than the threshold voltage of the third comparator COMP1, the OCP signal is low, and the subsequent circuits may not be operated.
The threshold voltage of the third comparator COMP1 is controlled by the signal of the short-circuit detection circuit, when the signal output by the short-circuit detection circuit is low, M3 is turned on, and the threshold voltage of the third comparator COMP1 is the sixth preset voltage VTH2 and is smaller than the fifth preset voltage VTH1 during normal operation, so that the output current is small, the short-circuit loss is reduced, and the operation safety of the system is ensured. When the short-circuit state is removed, M3 is turned off, the threshold voltage value of the third comparator COMP1 is increased to VTH1, the output current is increased, and the current limiting point in the normal state can ensure that the system starts to work normally when the system is loaded.
The embodiment also provides a chip, wherein the chip comprises the short circuit detection circuit, or the chip comprises the short circuit protection circuit. The chip can also solve the problem that the short circuit detection circuit in the prior art is easy to misjudge whether the system is short-circuited or not.
Referring to fig. 3, the present embodiment further provides another chip, where the chip includes the short-circuit protection circuit, the voltage stabilizing module 5, the power tube 6, and the control module 7.
Wherein the chip is used for obtaining electric energy from the outside and supplying power to a load (not shown); the voltage stabilizing module 5 is used for providing a power source VCC for the short-circuit protection circuit and the reference voltage VREF, and providing the power source VCC for the control module 7.
The power tube 6 is used for being coupled in an output loop of the chip and is used for connecting or disconnecting the output loop of the chip in response to a control signal so as to control the output characteristic of the chip. Specifically, the power tube 6 is connected between VIN and SW pins of the chip, and can be switched on and off between VIN and SW. The output characteristic comprises an output voltage and/or an output current. In a preferred embodiment, the control signal of the power transistor 6 is a pwm signal, and the control module 7 controls the output characteristic of the chip by adjusting the duty ratio of the pwm signal. The specific logic of the control module 7 for generating the pwm signal may be set according to the common knowledge in the art, for example, the duty ratio of the pwm signal is obtained by scaling according to a control command sent by a controller (not shown).
The control module 7 is configured to drive the power tube 6 to open the circuit when receiving the current limiting signal, and is configured to generate a signal received by the first input terminal of the protection signal generating unit 4 according to the current flowing through the power tube 6. It is to be understood that the specific logic of the control module 7 may vary in different embodiments. For example, in one embodiment, the control module 7 may only respond mechanically to the current limit signal, and immediately drive the power tube 6 into circuit if the current limit signal disappears. In this embodiment, the control module 7 drives the power tube 6 to open the circuit when receiving the current limiting signal, then maintains the off state of the power tube 6 until the current period of the pwm signal is over, and drives the power tube 6 to open the circuit when the next period starts. The implementation manner of the control module 7 generating the signal according to the current flowing through the power tube 6 may be set by those skilled in the art according to actual needs, and the relationship between the generated signal and the current flowing through the power tube 6 may be estimated according to the actual implementation manner, which is not described in detail in this specification.
The connection pattern between the control module 7 and the power tube 6 is not specified in fig. 3, and it cannot be understood that there is only one line connection between the control module 7 and the power tube 6. The connection between the two may be through one or more wires and/or through one or more circuit elements.
In this embodiment, the chip further includes an error amplifier OTA1 and a frequency compensation module 8.
The error amplifier OTA1 is configured to compare and amplify a difference between the characteristic VFB of the output voltage of the chip and the reference voltage VREF, and send the difference to the control module 7.
The control module 7 is also used to turn on or off the power transistor 6 according to the signal sent by the error amplifier OTA1 so that the output voltage of the chip meets the control expectations. Satisfying control expectations it can be understood that the control module 7 controls the output voltage of the chip to be within a desired range by turning the power transistor 6 on or off so that VFB is equal to VREF. In the actual design process, an expected value of the output voltage of the chip and VREF are determined, then an expected VFB (VFB = VREF) is obtained, and finally a voltage division circuit is set according to the expected value of the output voltage of the chip and the expected VFB.
The frequency compensation module 8 is configured to modify the signal sent by the second comparator OTA 1.
The operation details of the modules in the chip, which are not mentioned, and the connection manner between the modules may be set by those skilled in the art according to the prior art and fig. 3, and are not described in detail in this specification.
The chip can prevent the problem of difficulty in starting with a load when a system is powered on while normally outputting a short-circuit signal, and can also prevent the load from instantly drawing a large current to be misjudged as a short circuit. When the system is in short circuit, the threshold voltage determined by OCP is reduced, the output current is reduced, and the system is more stable in a short circuit state. The problem that the short circuit detection circuit easily makes misjudgment on whether the system is short-circuited in the prior art can be solved.
Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a waveform diagram of a critical voltage signal in the chip. The measurement points of the waveform diagrams are understood with reference to fig. 3. In the embodiment shown in fig. 4: VH1 (i.e., the second preset voltage) is set to 0.7V, VL1 (i.e., the first preset voltage) is set to 0.5V, VH2 (i.e., the third preset voltage) is set to 1.1V, VL2 (i.e., the fourth preset voltage) is set to 0.9V, the threshold voltage high value (i.e., the fifth preset voltage) VTH1 of the third comparator COMP1 is 0.35V, and the low value VTH2 (i.e., the sixth preset voltage) is 0.15V.
As can be seen from fig. 4, when the VFB voltage drops to about 0.5V, the output voltage VA of the first comparator OP1 is high, and at the same time the first capacitor C1 starts to charge, the voltage VB of the first capacitor C1 starts to rise with a fixed slope, when the voltage VB rises to about 1.1V, vshirt starts to be high, indicating a system short circuit, and the threshold voltage VTH of the third comparator COMP1 drops from 0.35V to 0.15V, ensuring stable system operation; when VFB rises to 0.7V, VA is at a low level, M2 discharges the capacitor, the discharge is almost instantly completed due to the fact that the first capacitor C1 is small, VB drops to 0V from 5V, VSHORT is at a low level when the capacitor is also turned on, the short-circuit state is relieved, and the threshold voltage VTH of the third comparator COMP1 rises to 0.35V from 0.15V, so that the system can be guaranteed to output a large current. When the output end is short-circuited, the output voltage ratio is low, the VFB voltage is certainly less than 0.5V, after a period of time t (the delay time can avoid the phenomenon that the load is suddenly increased, the output voltage drops in a short time and the short-circuit protection function is triggered by mistake), VSHORT outputs high level, reduces the current-limiting point in the chip, realizes that the system short-circuit output current is in a small value, and improves the short-circuit protection stability; when the short circuit state is removed, the output voltage can be slowly increased, the corresponding VFB voltage can also be increased, when the VFB voltage is greater than 1.1V, the VSHORT signal becomes low level, the current-limiting point in the chip is recovered to a normal value, and the chip can output large current to supply power to a load.
In summary, the short circuit detection circuit, the short circuit protection circuit and the short circuit detection circuit in the chip provided by the embodiment include the signal processing unit 2. When the input end signal of the short circuit detection circuit accords with a first preset condition, the signal processing unit 2 delays the signal, so that the short circuit detection circuit does not directly output a short circuit alarm signal until the time length which accords with the first preset condition exceeds a preset time length, and the short circuit detection circuit outputs the short circuit alarm signal. Meanwhile, the signal processing unit 2 is also corrected by the temperature compensation element 21, so that the signal processing unit has higher precision under different temperature environments. The configuration solves the problem that the short circuit detection circuit in the prior art is easy to misjudge whether the system has a short circuit or not, and has the advantages of accurate timing and easy chip formation.
The above description is only for the purpose of describing the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention, and any variations and modifications made by those skilled in the art according to the above disclosure are within the scope of the present invention.
