Detailed Description
The core of the invention is to provide an input voltage overshoot suppression protection circuit, which improves the working efficiency of a hot plug device and reduces the maintenance cost; the other core of the invention is to provide a hot plug device comprising the input voltage overshoot suppression protection circuit, which improves the working efficiency of the hot plug device and reduces the maintenance cost.
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some, but not all, embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of an input voltage overshoot suppression protection circuit provided in the present invention, the input voltage overshoot suppression protection circuit includes:
the input end of the control switch 1 is connected with the first end of an input capacitor in the original hot-plug circuit;
the first end of the energy storage capacitor Cu is connected with the output end of the control switch 1 and the input end of the electronic fuse in the original hot plug circuit, and the second end of the energy storage capacitor Cu is grounded with the second end of the input capacitor and is used for storing the voltage with the preset capacity;
the position detection device 2 is connected with a power supply connector of a hot-plug device where the original hot-plug circuit is located and is used for detecting whether the power supply connector is fully connected with a power supply of the hot-plug device;
and the control device 3 is respectively connected with the position detection device 2 and the control end of the control switch 1 and is used for controlling the control switch 1 which is disconnected by default to be closed when the position detection device 2 detects that the power supply connector is fully connected with the power supply of the hot-plug device.
Specifically, in fig. 1, R1 and R2 are equivalent resistances of front connection portions (including copper bars and alligator clips, for example) of the entire cabinet PSU (Power Supply Unit) output to the Efuse, and L1 and L2 are equivalent inductances of the front connection portions (including copper bars and alligator clips, for example) of the entire cabinet PSU output to the Efuse.
Specifically, considering the technical problems in the background art as described above, in combination with considering that if an attempt is made to suppress the overcharge voltage generated in the loop, the energy storage capacitor Cu may be added at the front end of the Efuse, but because the capacitance value of the energy storage capacitor Cu is large, a strong sparking phenomenon may occur at the connection point at the moment when the power connector is connected to the power supply, so in the present application, the control switch 1 is disposed between the input capacitor Cu and the energy storage capacitor Cu, and when the control device 3 finds that the limit device does not detect that the power connector is sufficiently connected to the power supply, the control switch 1 is in the default open state, and at this time, the control switch 1 may isolate the energy storage capacitor Cu from the input capacitor (prevent the energy storage capacitor Cu from increasing the capacitance value of the input capacitor), so that the input capacitor plays a role of suppressing the sparking phenomenon with its own small capacitance value at the moment when the power connector is contacted to the power supply, after the power supply connector is fully connected with the power supply, the control device 3 can control the control switch 1 to be closed so that the voltage flows to the load, and under the condition that the loop generates the overcharge voltage, the energy storage capacitor Cu can inhibit the overshoot voltage from damaging the electronic fuse due to the large capacitance value of the energy storage capacitor Cu, so that the working efficiency of the hot plug device is improved, and the maintenance cost is reduced.
When the energy storage capacitor Cu is subjected to constant volume, the capacitance value of the energy storage capacitor Cu can be calculated according to the maximum current value generated by short circuit and overcurrent protection and the duration time thereof, which is not described herein again in the embodiments of the present invention.
To better explain the embodiment of the present invention, please refer to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of an original hot plug circuit in the prior art, specifically, Cin is an input capacitor, Cout is a load terminal, and PSU is a main power supply.
Specifically, the type of the power connector can be various, and the power connector can be different according to different hot plugging devices, for example, when the server is a hot plugging device, the power connector can be an alligator clip, and the alligator clip can be connected with a copper bar of a main power supply to obtain power.
The invention provides an input voltage overshoot suppression protection circuit, before a power connector of a hot plug device is not fully connected with a power supply, a control switch which is disconnected by default can isolate an energy storage capacitor from an input capacitor (preventing the energy storage capacitor from increasing the capacitance value of the input capacitor), so that the input capacitor can play a role in suppressing the ignition phenomenon with a smaller capacitance value at the moment when the power connector is contacted with the power supply, and after the power connector is fully connected with the power supply, a control device can control the control switch to be closed so that voltage flows to a load, and under the condition that the loop generates overcharge voltage, the energy storage capacitor can suppress the damage of the overshoot voltage to an electronic fuse with a larger capacitance value, thereby improving the working efficiency of the hot plug device and reducing the maintenance cost.
On the basis of the above-described embodiment:
as a preferred embodiment, the control switch 1 is a MOS (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor).
Specifically, the MOS has the advantages of small size, low cost, long life, and the like.
Of course, the control switch 1 may be of other types besides MOS, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited herein.
For better explaining the embodiment of the present invention, please refer to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a schematic structural diagram of another input voltage overshoot suppression protection circuit provided by the present invention, as a preferred embodiment, the control switch 1 includes a PMOS Q1 and a first resistor R12;
a first end of a PMOS Q1 is used as a self input end, a second end of a PMOS Q1 is used as a self output end, a grid of a PMOS Q1 is used as a self control end, a first end of a first resistor R12 is respectively connected with a first end of an input capacitor and the input end of the PMOS Q1, and a second end of a first resistor R12 is connected with the grid of a PMOS Q1;
the control device 3 includes:
the processor is respectively connected with the position detection device 2 and the control end of the driving switch Q3 and is used for controlling the driving switch Q3 to be closed when the position detection device 2 detects that the power supply connector is fully connected with the power supply of the hot-plug device;
and a driving switch Q3 having a first end connected to the control end of the control switch 1 and a second end connected to ground.
Specifically, when the control switch 1 adopts the combination of the PMOS Q1 and the first resistor R12, the corresponding control device 3 can control the closing of the PMOS Q1 by controlling the grounding of the driving switch Q3, and the PMOS Q1 is in the open state due to the pull-up action of the first resistor R12 when the driving switch Q3 is open.

the processor is a voltage monitoring chip and is specifically used for controlling the driving switch Q3 to be closed when the voltage value detected by the voltage detection end of the processor is greater than a preset threshold value.
Specifically, considering that under the condition that the power connector is normally connected with the power supply, if the power supply is powered up again after power failure, Vin will undergo a re-raising process in the power-up process, in this process, it is not suitable to directly connect the Efuse into the loop, otherwise, the load will affect the stability of the power supply, therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, "whether the processor can normally monitor Vin" is determined by the state of the limit switch, under the condition that the power connector is not fully connected with the power supply, the limit switch is in the off state, at this time, the influence of the controllable switch Q2 on the pull-up of the potential of the second resistor R10 can be in the on state, the level of the voltage detection end can be pulled down to make the processor unable to normally monitor Vin, and under the condition that the power connector is fully connected with the power supply, the limit switch is in the on state, at this time, the control end of the controllable switch Q2 is pulled low, so that the controllable switch Q2 is turned off, and at this time, the processor can smoothly monitor Vin, and can control the control switch 1 to be closed when the voltage value of Bin is greater than the preset threshold value, that is, Vin rises to a certain height, so as to connect the power supply loop of the hot-plug device.
