Technical Field

Background
Negative voltage is often used in integrated circuit systems, for example, a switch in an rf front end needs to be turned on or off by the negative voltage. The negative voltage module structure in the related art can be as shown in fig. 1, and the operation principle is that before the enable signal (EN) is asserted, the switches S1a and S2 are closed, the switch S1b is opened, and at this time, the capacitor C is precharged by the power supply NVDD, wherein the switches S1a, S1b and S2 are controlled by the enable signal EN, and after the enable signal EN is asserted, the switches S1a and S2 are opened, and the switch S1b is closed. When the switch S1B is closed, the capacitor VNEG _ B which is originally positively charged is pulled to the ground level, and the charge stored in the capacitor C cannot suddenly change, so that the VNEG end is changed from the original ground level to the negative level, and meanwhile, the enable signal EN enables the negative voltage generation module NVG core to start working, continuously provides charge for the VNEG end, and keeps the VNEG end outputting the negative level.
A schematic diagram of a conventional controlled switch S2 in the negative pressure module is shown in fig. 2. Under the condition that the load driven by the VNEG end is heavy when the negative pressure module works, when the enable signal fails, the power can flow back to the NVDD through the switch S1a in FIG. 1 because S2 cannot be closed in time. When the enable signal EN fails, a waveform schematic diagram of each node of a conventional controlled switch switching circuit in the negative voltage module is shown in fig. 3, and the phenomenon becomes more obvious as a load driven by VNEG is heavier, the NVDD level is raised by the backward-flowing current, the NVDD generation circuit is affected, the overvoltage risk exists, and meanwhile, the circuit module using the NVDD in the whole system is likely to be affected by the raised NVDD.

A switching apparatus provided in an embodiment of the present invention is described below, the switching apparatus being applied to a negative pressure module, and as shown in fig. 5, the switching apparatus 5000 includes:
the controlled switch 300 is used for controlling the negative pressure signal output of the negative pressure module; the first end of the controlled switch is connected with the output end of the negative pressure module, and the second end of the controlled switch is grounded;
the controlled switch switching circuit 400 provided in any of the embodiments of the present invention is connected to the controlled end of the controlled switch, and is configured to control the controlled switch to be turned off when the first enable signal is enabled, and to control the controlled switch to be turned on when the first enable signal is disabled; wherein the first enable signal is used for instructing the negative pressure module to output a negative pressure signal.
The controlled switch in this embodiment is a controllable switching device, including but not limited to: MOSFETs and IGBTs.
In connection with the above embodiments, a specific example is provided:
by studying the conventional negative pressure module (as shown in fig. 1), when the enable signal of the negative pressure module fails, current flows back to the power supply (NVDD), so that the NVDD is over-pressurized, and the reason for the overvoltage is analyzed, which is caused by that the controlled switch S2 in the conventional negative pressure module cannot be closed in time after the enable signal fails.
The structural schematic diagram of the conventional controlled switch S2 in the negative-pressure module is shown in fig. 2, and the operating principle thereof is as follows:
before the enable signal EN takes effect, EN is at a low level, the NMOS transistor MN1 is turned off, the PMOS transistor MP1 is turned on, so that the source of MP2 is at a high level NVDD, since the gate of MP2 is at a ground level GND, MP2 is turned on, the point a is at a high level, similarly, the MP3 transistor is turned on, since the VNEG terminal is at a ground level in an initial state, the MN2 transistor is turned off, and the point B is also at a high level, so that MN3 is turned on, that is, the switch S2 in fig. 1 is closed, and the VNEG terminal is pulled to the ground level GND; after the enable signal EN is asserted, EN is switched to a high level, the MP1 and MP2 transistors are turned off, the MN1 transistor is turned on, and the point a is pulled to the ground level GND, so the MP3 transistor is turned off, and due to the conservation of charge in the capacitor, as the VNEG _ B terminal level is changed from NVDD to GND, the VNEG terminal level is changed from GND to a negative level, so that the MN2 transistor is turned on, and as the VNEG terminal level is changed to a negative level, the MN3 transistor is turned off, that is, the switch S2 in fig. 1 is turned off.
When the enable signal EN fails, EN is switched to a low level again, and the state of the switch is expected to be restored to the state before the enable signal EN becomes effective, but different from the state before the enable signal EN becomes effective, the level of the VNEG end is no longer the initial ground level but is a negative level at this time, and particularly, when the load driven by the VNEG end is heavy when the negative voltage module operates, because the VNEG end still accumulates more negative charges, the MN2 tube is not immediately turned off while the MP3 tube is turned on, so that the potential at the B point is not immediately pulled high, and the MN3 tube is not immediately turned on, that is, the switch S2 in fig. 1 is not immediately closed, so that the VNEG end is not pulled to the ground level GND but still maintains a certain negative level. After the enable signal EN fails, the switch S1a in fig. 1 is closed, and the power supply NVDD continues to charge the capacitor C, at this time, since the VNEG end still maintains a certain negative level, the voltage difference between the two ends of the capacitor C will be greater than NVDD. After the enable signal EN fails, the module NVG core no longer provides charges to the VNEG end, the charges at the VNEG end are consumed all the time, the negative level at the VNEG end is raised continuously until the gate-source voltage of the MN2 transistor is smaller than the threshold voltage thereof to turn off the MN2 transistor, the level at the B point is pulled up rapidly, the MN3 transistor is turned on, that is, the switch S2 in fig. 1 is closed, so that the VNEG end is pulled to the ground level rapidly. According to the principle of conservation of charge, when VNEG is pulled up to ground rapidly, because the voltage difference of capacitor C is greater than NVDD, VNEG _ B in fig. 1 is also lifted, causing current to flow back to power supply NVDD through switch S1a in fig. 1, which is more obvious as VNEG drives a heavier load, and the level of NVDD is raised by the flowing back current, which affects the NVDD generating circuit, and there is a risk of overvoltage, and at the same time, circuit modules using NVDD in the whole system may be affected by the lifted NVDD.
Based on this, the present example provides a controlled switching device, which is applied to the negative voltage module shown in fig. 1, and the controlled switching device provided by the present example is adopted to replace the controlled switch S2 in the negative voltage module.
Fig. 6 is a schematic circuit diagram illustrating a controlled switching device according to an example. The present example provides a controlled switching device, comprising: a first control component, a second control component, a protection component MN8 and a controlled switch MN 3.

The second control assembly includes: controlled switch MN5, controlled switch MN6, controlled switch MN7, controlled switch MP4, controlled switch MP5, capacitor C1 and resistor R.
MN5 and MP4 are controlled by a signal EN _ N of opposite level to the enable signal EN, the source of MP4 is connected to the power supply NVDD, the drain of MP4 is connected to the source of MP5, the drain of MP5 is connected to the drain of MN6, the gates of MN5 and MN6 are grounded, the source of MN6 is connected to the output terminal of the second control component, the drain of MN6 is connected to the gate of MN7, the source of MN7 is grounded, the drain of MN7 is connected to the cathode of C1, the anode of C1 is connected to the drain of MN5, one end of R is connected to the cathode of C1, and the other end of R is grounded.
The working principle of the controlled switching device provided by the example is as follows:
before the enable signal EN takes effect, the signal EN is at low level, the MP1, MP2 and MP3 tubes are turned on, the MN1 tube is turned off, the signal EN _ N is at high level, the MP4 tube is turned off, the MN5 tube is turned on, the D point is at ground level GND, the MP5, MN6 and MN7 tubes are all turned off, the E point is also at ground level GND, and since the VNEG is at ground level in the initial state, the MN4 and the MN2 tubes are turned off, the B point is pulled up to high level, the MN3 is turned on, namely the switch S2 in FIG. 1 is closed, and the VNEG end is pulled to ground level GND; after the enable signal EN is asserted, EN is switched to high level, MP1 and MP2 transistors are turned off, MN1 transistor is on, point a is pulled to ground GND, so MP3 transistor is turned off, because of the conservation of charge in the capacitor, as the VNEG _ B level is changed from NVDD to GND, VNEG level is changed from GND to negative level, MN2 transistor is turned on, the drain H point level of MN2 is changed to negative level along with VNEG level, signal EN _ N is switched to low level along with the assertion of enable signal EN, MP4 transistor is turned on, MN5 transistor is turned off, point D is changed to high level, MP5 transistor is turned on, MN6 transistor is turned off, point F is also changed to high level, MN7 transistor is turned on, point E is pulled to ground level, at this time, capacitor C1 is charged by power supply NVDD, if the H point level is changed to negative level along with VNEG level, MN3 transistor is turned on, point B level is changed to VNEG 7375 level, thus the negative switch 84 in the graph is turned off.
When the enable signal EN is disabled, EN _ N switches to high level again, the MP4 tube is turned off, the MN5 tube is turned on, the point D is pulled to ground level, due to the conservation of charge of the capacitor C1, point E becomes a negative level, and the voltage at point E is then restored to ground level through the resistor R, unlike conventional controlled switch switching circuits, even if the VNEG terminal is still at a negative level at this time, the MN2 transistor is not immediately turned off, point H is at a negative level, but because point E is also negative, the gate-source voltage of MN4 is still less than its threshold voltage, therefore, the MN4 transistor is turned off, the node B can be pulled to a high level, so that the MN3 transistor is turned on, that is, the switch S2 in fig. 1 is closed, so that the VNEG terminal is quickly pulled to a ground level, thereby avoiding the situation that the voltage difference between the two terminals of the capacitor C is greater than NVDD due to the charging of the capacitor C in fig. 1 after the enabling failure, therefore, the current is prevented from flowing back to the NVDD to cause the NVDD to be raised to cause adverse effects on the circuit.
After the negative-voltage controlled switch switching circuit is used, waveforms of nodes of the controlled switch switching circuit in the negative-voltage module when the enable signal EN fails are shown in FIG. 7. In the example, an additional control logic is added to control the gate of an MOS transistor in a conventional negative-pressure controlled switching circuit (as shown in fig. 2) in a conventional negative-pressure module by using the charge conservation principle of a capacitor, so that the switching speed of the controlled switch is increased, the controlled switch can be quickly turned on or off at the moment of enabling switching, and meanwhile, the phenomena of current backflow and voltage rising after switching due to untimely over-charging of the capacitor in the negative-pressure module caused by switching of the controlled switch under the condition that a negative-pressure output end drives a large load are avoided, so that a preceding-stage circuit is protected from generating overvoltage, and other circuit modules in the system can normally work.
