Detailed Description
In order to make the technical means, the creation characteristics, the achievement purposes and the effects of the invention easy to understand, the invention is further described with the specific embodiments.
As shown in fig. 4, the present invention provides a technical solution: a power tube circuit integrated with a sampling resistor comprises a power tube lower tube consisting of a main power tube 101 and a secondary power tube 102 and a parasitic resistor of aluminum metal, and provides sampling current for a main loop of a boost switch circuit, wherein the main loop comprises an inductor, a power tube upper tube 103, a power tube lower tube consisting of the main power tube 101 and the secondary power tube 102, a parasitic resistor model, a sampling amplification circuit, a slope compensation RAMP, an error amplifier EA, divider resistors Rd1 and Rd2, an output capacitor Cout, PWM, a clock CLK and a control logic unit, and when the loop works, the control logic outputs GP and GN signals to control the upper tube of the power tube to cut off and conduct the lower tube, the inductive current flows through the parasitic resistor to generate voltage drop VIS, and is sampled and amplified by the sampling amplifying circuit, after being overlapped and compensated with the RAMP signal RAMP, the signal is sent to PWM and output of an error amplifier for comparison, and then sent to control logic to generate control signals GP and GN to control the conduction and the cut-off of the upper and the lower tubes of the power tube.
As shown in FIG. 1, in the lower tube of the power tube in the parasitic resistance model, the finger number of the main power tube 101 is f1, the finger number of the secondary power tube 102 is f2, and in an ideal case of neglecting the parasitic resistance, the ratio of the current flowing through the main power tube and the secondary power tube should be f1: f 2.
As shown in fig. 2, the sub-power transistor 102 is split into a plurality of units according to the number of via holes on an aluminum metal trace at the drain end, each NMOS has a hole between the source and the metal trace corresponding to the NMOS, a hole between the drain and the metal trace, and a metal line resistor between via holes corresponding to the NMOS between the drain and the metal trace, the resistor connecting the source and the PGND is an aluminum metal trace resistor, the resistor connecting the drain and the SW is a hole between the top aluminum and the aluminum metal trace, and a parasitic resistor similar to the aluminum metal parasitic resistor and the top metal, when the switching power supply normally works, the lower tube of the power transistor is turned on, the current proportionally flows through the main power transistor 101 and the sub-power transistor 102, the current flowing through the sub-power transistor 102 generates a voltage difference on the parasitic resistor to be sampled from both ends of the source aluminum metal, the current flowing through the metal line resistor between via holes near the PGND end is large, and the current flowing through the metal line resistor between via holes near the visn end is small, the current has a trace current flowing through the VIS end and the parasitic sampling resistor in the parasitic resistor sampling amplifying circuit, and the current flowing through the secondary power tube 102 is far larger than the current of the sampling amplifying circuit, so that the error can be ignored, and the relationship between the current and the voltage difference of the PGND end of the VIS end can be found through modeling
VIS < (1/2) (parasitic r I102);
when the parasitic resistance of the drain electrode is larger than the parasitic resistance of the source electrode, the true value of the equation is smaller, and the sampling signal is estimated on the basis of the smaller true value.
As shown in fig. 3, the source and the drain of the main power transistor 101 are all wired in a manner of being fully covered by aluminum, the drain of the sub power transistor 102 is wired in a manner of being fully covered by aluminum, the source is wired in a manner of being connected by an aluminum wire, the finger number f1 of the main power transistor 101 is much larger than the finger number f2 of the sub power transistor 102, the rds (on) of the whole power transistor is not affected by the sub power transistor 102, the conversion efficiency is not affected while no additional sampling device is added, the on-resistance of the whole main power transistor 101 is smaller than that of the whole sub power transistor 102, and the current actually flowing through the sub power transistor 102 is
I102<(f2/(f1+f2))*IL。
As shown in fig. 5 and fig. 6, the sampling amplifying circuit includes a resistor R having one end connected to the positive terminal of the sampling resistor and the other end connected to the source of the NMOS transistor M, one end connected to the positive terminal of the sampling resistor R and the other end connected to the source of the NMOS transistor M, one end of the resistor R connected to the negative terminal of the sampling resistor R, the other end connected to the sources of the NMOS transistors M, Rf, which are connected in series with R, R to adjust the sampling coefficient, the NMOS transistors M, which form a current mirror one, the PMOS transistors M, which form a current mirror two, the PMOS transistors M, which form a current mirror three, the output of the sampling amplifying circuit is the output current of the PMOS transistor M, the current mirror one formed by the PMOS transistors M, R, the current mirror one formed by the PMOS transistors M, which form a current mirror to ensure that the currents of the first branch and the second branch are equal, and the voltages of the point B of the first branch and the second branch are ensured by the NMOS transistors C, the sampling amplification circuit comprises resistors R1, R2 and R3 with the resistance ratio of 1:2:1, resistors Rf1, Rf2 and Rf3 with the resistance ratio of 1:2:1, and resistors Rf1, Rf2 and Rf3 with the resistance ratios of less than R1, R2 and R3, so that fine adjustment of sampling coefficients is provided for R1, R2 and R3. The PMOS transistor M6 of the third branch amplifies the sampling current Ic, and the PMOS transistor M7 of the fourth branch mirrors the current of the third branch M6 and outputs the current. The voltage formula of the point B on the first branch is
VB=Iin*(R2+Rf2)+VIS,
The voltage formula of point B on the second branch is
VC=I2*(R3+Rf3),
Since the mirror images of the PMOS tubes M1 and M2 make I1 equal to I2, and the mirror images of the NMOS tubes M3 and M4 make the voltages at the point A and the point B equal, the output formula of the sampling amplifying circuit is as follows
ISENSE=(VIS/(R3+Rf3))+Iin,
Considering the size of the sampling resistance value and the poor fine adjustment of the voltage drop on the metal wire, resistors Rf1 and Rf2 are introduced into the sampling amplifying circuit, and resistors R1 and R2 are subjected to fine adjustment through Rf1 and Rf2 according to the description in the formula so as to obtain proper delta (dIL/dISENSE), delta (dIL/dISENSE) ≈ and ((1/2) × R parasitical × f2/(f1+ f2))/R3+ RF 3.
