Description

Technical Field

The present application relates to the field of electronics, and in particular, to an electronic device.

Background

With the increasing requirements of people on functions such as photographing, the number of cameras arranged in electronic equipment is increasing. Although increasing the number of cameras can improve the shooting effect, it follows that the power consumption generated by the cameras increases dramatically; meanwhile, as the pixels of the camera become higher and higher, the power consumption is further increased, and the endurance time of the electronic device is shortened seriously.

In the prior art, in order to improve power efficiency in an electronic device and prolong a endurance time of the electronic device, some manufacturers adopt a buck-boost converter (buck converter) capable of automatically switching a working mode to supply power to a camera in a high-end electronic device.

Generally, a buck-boost converter automatically switches between two modes, which are a Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) mode and a Pulse Frequency Modulation (PFM) mode. When the number of working cameras is small, the buck-boost converter is switched to a PFM mode; when more cameras are in work, the buck-boost converter is switched to the PWM mode. By automatically switching the working mode, the working efficiency of the power supply of the buck-boost converter is improved.

However, since the camera is particularly sensitive to noise, when the buck-boost converter is switched to the PFM mode, the generated power supply ripple is large, and the shooting effect of the camera will be seriously affected.

Therefore, manufacturers add a low-dropout regulator (LDO) between the buck-boost converter and the camera to filter the interference, but when the Power Supply Rejection Ratio (PSRR) of the LDO is poor, the camera is prone to have a dark stripe problem under dark light, which affects the shooting effect.

In order to improve the power efficiency of the electronic device and prolong the endurance time of the electronic device, some manufacturers have started to use a buck-boost converter capable of automatically switching the operating mode to supply power to the camera in a power management module of a high-end electronic device in the prior art. Of course, the output end of the buck-boost converter is connected with other loads with the same working voltage range besides the camera, that is, the buck-boost converter can supply power to the camera and other loads.

Fig. 2 shows a schematic structural diagram of another electronic device. For example, as shown in fig. 2, in the electronic device 100, an input terminal of the buck-boost converter 1411 is electrically connected to the battery 142, and an output terminal is electrically connected to a plurality of loads having the same operating voltage range. The load includes at least one camera 193, and other loads, such as a radio frequency power amplifier and an antenna switch.

Based on the structure, when the buck-boost converter 1411 works, the voltage of the battery 142 is increased or decreased and is converted into the working voltage required by the load, so that the stable working voltage is provided for the load, and the normal work of the load is ensured.

The buck-boost converter 1411 has two operating modes, namely a PWM mode and a PFM mode, when operating. Thus, the step-up/down converter 1411 automatically switching the operation mode means that when the load connected to the step-up/down converter 1411 is light, that is, when the operation current of the load is detected to be small, the step-up/down converter 1411 is switched to the PFM mode; when the buck-boost converter 1411 is connected to a heavy load, i.e. when the working current of the load is detected to be large, the buck-boost converter 1411 will switch to the PWM mode. Compared with the PWM mode, the PFM mode has low current and low power consumption, so the buck-boost converter 1411 can achieve the purpose of reducing power consumption and improving power efficiency by automatically switching the operating mode.

It should be noted that the PWM mode adjusts the duty ratio through voltage feedback under the condition that the output frequency of the control circuit is not changed, so as to achieve the purpose of stabilizing the output voltage, and the frequency of the PFM mode modulation signal changes with the amplitude of the input signal, and the duty ratio is not changed. Fig. 3 shows a timing diagram of a PWM mode and a PFM mode. As shown in fig. 3, the PWM mode is to control the voltage output using the pulse width; the PFM mode controls voltage output by using the presence or absence of a pulse.

When the buck-boost converter 1411 is operated, the output current in the PFM mode is smaller than that in the PWM mode, and the buck-boost converter controlled by the PFM stops operating when the output current reaches a set voltage or higher, so the current consumption becomes smaller, and the efficiency at low load can be improved due to the reduction of the current consumption, so that the boost-buck converter 1411 can be switched to the PFM mode when the load is light, thereby improving the operating efficiency of the power supply.

Fig. 4 shows a circuit schematic of a buck-boost converter. Illustratively, as shown in fig. 4, the buck-boost converter 1411 mainly includes a control logic sub-circuit, two power MOS transistors (T1 and T2 shown in fig. 4) and an error amplifier, an inductor L, an output capacitor C, a feedback resistor R1 and a feedback resistor R2.

When the control logic subcircuit controls the switch T1 to be turned on and the switch T2 to be turned off, the input voltage flows through the inductor L, the load is supplied with power through the inductor L, and the power is stored in the inductor L and the output capacitor C. After a certain time, the control logic sub-circuit controls the switch T1 to be turned off and the switch T2 to be turned on, and the current in the holding circuit is kept unchanged due to the self-inductance of the inductor L, and the output capacitor C is continuously charged, so that the buck-boost converter 1411 achieves the purpose of boosting or reducing voltage.

Based on this principle, taking the input voltage higher than the output voltage as an example, when the load current is large, the control logic sub-circuit switches to the PWM mode, and at this time, the comparison threshold of the error amplifier becomes narrow. Therefore, the output voltage can reach the comparison threshold of the error amplifier as long as small fluctuation exists, so that the switching frequency is high, and the power supply ripple generated by the buck-boost converter is small. When the switching frequency is higher than a sensitive frequency point (for example, about 300 kHz) of the camera to which the buck-boost converter is connected, the ripple generated by the buck-boost converter has very little interference to the camera, and therefore, the shooting effect of the camera cannot be affected.

When the load current is small, if the control logic sub-circuit is switched to the PFM mode to improve the working efficiency of the power supply, the comparison threshold of the error amplifier is widened. Therefore, the output voltage must be lower or higher to reach the comparison threshold of the error amplifier, so that the switching frequency becomes lower, the loss becomes smaller, the efficiency is improved, and the ripple generated by the buck-boost converter is larger. When the switching frequency is lower than the sensitive frequency point of the camera connected with the buck-boost converter, the power supply ripple generated by the buck-boost converter greatly interferes with the camera, and the shooting effect of the camera is affected, for example, in dark light, dark stripes are easily generated during shooting.

It should be noted that, since loads such as the rf power amplifier and the antenna switch electrically connected to the buck-boost converter 1411 are in a standby state most of the time, and the requirement for the power supply ripple is relatively low, the switching of the buck-boost converter 1411 to the PFM mode does not greatly affect the loads such as the rf power amplifier and the antenna switch, but the camera 193 has a relatively high requirement for the power supply ripple, so that when the buck-boost converter is switched to the PFM mode, compared to the PWM mode, and the switching frequency is close to the sensitive frequency point of the camera 193, the interference energy generated by the buck-boost converter 1411 is relatively high, and the influence on the imaging effect of the camera 193 is not negligible.

To solve the effect of the power supply ripple generated by the buck-boost converter 1411, the prior art manufacturers add an LDO between the buck-boost converter and the camera.

Fig. 5 shows a schematic structural diagram of another electronic device. As shown in fig. 5, an input terminal of the LDO is electrically connected to an output terminal of the buck-boost converter 1411, and an output terminal of the LDO is electrically connected to the plurality of cameras 193. The LDO can further regulate the voltage output by the buck-boost converter, and can also filter out power supply ripples generated by the buck-boost converter 1411. Therefore, by adding the LDO between the buck-boost converter 1411 and the camera 193, the power ripple generated by the buck-boost converter can be suppressed by the LDO, and the influence of the power ripple on the camera shooting effect can be reduced.

It should be noted that fig. 6 shows a circuit schematic diagram of an LDO. Illustratively, as shown in fig. 6, the LDO mainly includes a power MOS transistor (T3 shown in fig. 6) and an error amplifier, a feedback resistor R3, and a feedback resistor R4.

When the input voltage of the LDO changes, that is, when the output voltage of the buck-boost converter electrically connected with the LDO generates ripples, the LDO compares the output voltage acquired through the feedback resistors R3 and R4 with a preset reference voltage, and then controls the voltage difference between the drain and the source of the T3 by controlling the voltage difference between the source and the gate of the T3 through the error amplifier, so as to keep the output voltage stable and unchanged, and thus, the purpose of suppressing the power supply ripples is achieved.

However, when the Power Supply ripple Rejection Ratio (PSRR) of the LDO is poor, that is, the LDO has poor capability of suppressing the Power Supply ripple, the Power Supply ripple of the buck-boost converter in the PFM mode cannot be suppressed, and the camera is prone to generating dark stripes in dark light, which affects the shooting effect of the camera.

In order to solve the above problem, an embodiment of the present application provides an electronic device, when at least one camera works, by enabling a buck-boost converter to work in a pulse width modulation mode, because a power ripple in the pulse width modulation mode is small, an influence of the power ripple generated by the buck-boost converter on the camera can be eliminated, and therefore the problem that a camera shoots a dark stripe under dark light is solved.

Embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The embodiment of the application provides an electronic device, wherein the electronic device may be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a wearable device, an in-vehicle device, an Augmented Reality (AR)/Virtual Reality (VR) device, a notebook computer, a super-mobile personal computer (UMPC), a netbook, a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), and the like. The electronic device may also be other terminal devices having data processing functions. The embodiment of the present application does not set any limit to the specific type of the electronic device.

Fig. 7 shows a schematic structural diagram of an electronic device provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 7, the electronic apparatus includes: the buck-boost converter 1411, the mode control module 1413, the low dropout linear regulator 1412, and a plurality of loads including the at least one camera 193 and loads other than the at least one camera.

In conjunction with fig. 7, the other loads may be a radio frequency power amplifier, an antenna switch, and the like.

The buck-boost converter 1411 is electrically connected with the mode control module 1413, the low dropout regulator 1412 and other loads respectively; the buck-boost converter 1411 is used to generate operating voltages for a plurality of loads.

It is understood that the operating voltages of the plurality of loads should be in the same range, and thus, the buck-boost converter 1411 can simultaneously provide a stable voltage for the loads having the same operating voltage range.

The low dropout regulator 1412 is further electrically connected to the at least one camera 193, and the low dropout regulator 1412 is configured to reduce a ripple of the operating voltage provided by the buck-boost converter 1411 to the at least one camera 193.

It can be understood that, with reference to fig. 7, since other loads such as the rf power amplifier and the antenna switch are in a standby state most of the time and have low power ripple requirements, the rf power amplifier and the antenna switch can be directly electrically connected to the buck-boost converter 1411, so that the buck-boost converter 1411 can directly provide the operating voltage to the plurality of loads, but the camera 193 is sensitive to the power ripple, and therefore, the low-dropout linear regulator 1412 is usually connected between the buck-boost converter 1411 and the camera 193 to reduce the power ripple output from the buck-boost converter 1412 to the camera 193. Of course, it is understood that in other embodiments, the buck-boost converter 1411 in the electronic device 100 may also be directly electrically connected to the camera 193.

The mode control module 1413 is configured to obtain operating states of a plurality of loads, the operating states including: at least one camera 193 is in a first state of operation, and a second state of no camera 193 is in operation.

It should be noted that the mode control module 1413 may directly or indirectly acquire the operating states of the multiple loads by acquiring the operating current of the loads, and the like, and the specific acquisition mode may be set according to needs, which is not particularly limited in this embodiment of the application.

The first state is a state in which one or more cameras are operating regardless of whether or not other loads are operating, and regardless of whether or not other loads are operating. The second state refers to a state in which the camera 193 is off, on standby, or not operating while other loads are operating.

When the working states of the plurality of loads are first states, namely when at least one camera works, the mode control module provides a first control signal for the buck-boost converter; the buck-boost converter is used for switching the working mode into the pulse width modulation mode under the control of the first control signal.

At this moment, no matter how many cameras work, as long as there are cameras working, force to make the buck-boost converter work in the PWM mode, the power ripple will be very small, even if the power ripple rejection capability of LDO is poor, or even if the buck-boost converter is directly electrically connected with the cameras, the camera effect of the cameras will not be affected, thereby avoiding the camera from appearing dark stripes in dim light.

It should be noted that the first control signal may be a voltage signal, an electromagnetic induction signal, and the like, and this is not particularly limited in this application embodiment as long as the first control signal can control the buck-boost converter.

The embodiment of the application provides an electronic device, which comprises a buck-boost converter, a mode control module, a low dropout regulator and a plurality of loads, wherein the plurality of loads comprise at least one camera and other loads except the at least one camera. Based on this, when at least one camera is at the during operation, provide first control signal to the buck-boost converter through mode control module, make the buck-boost converter work in pulse width modulation mode, because the power ripple of pulse width modulation mode is less to can eliminate the influence of power ripple to the camera, solve the camera and shoot the problem that the dark stripe appears under the dim light.

Optionally, as a possible implementation manner, in conjunction with fig. 7, when the operating state of the plurality of loads is the second state, that is, when no camera operates, the mode control module provides the second control signal to the buck-boost converter; the buck-boost converter is used for automatically switching the working mode between the pulse width modulation mode and the pulse frequency modulation mode under the control of the second control signal.

At the moment, as long as no camera works, the influence of power supply ripples is not considered, so that the load connected with the buck-boost converter is judged to be light or heavy only according to the magnitude of the load working current, the buck-boost converter automatically switches the working mode to the PWM mode when the load is heavy, and the buck-boost converter automatically switches the working mode to the PFM mode when the load is light, so that the power consumption is reduced, and the cruising ability of the electronic equipment is prolonged.

It should be noted that the second control signal may be a voltage signal, an electromagnetic induction signal, and the like, and this is not particularly limited in this application embodiment as long as the second control signal can control the buck-boost converter.

Because this application embodiment still does not have under the condition of camera work, provides the second control signal through mode control module to the step-up and step-down converter, makes the work module of step-up and step-down converter can be in the automatic switch-over between pulse width modulation mode and pulse frequency modulation mode, can realize reducing the power consumption, improve the purpose of power efficiency.

Optionally, as a possible implementation manner, fig. 8 illustrates a schematic structural diagram of another electronic device provided in the embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 8, the electronic device 100 further includes a battery 142, the battery 142 is electrically connected to a buck-boost converter 1411, and the buck-boost converter 1411 is configured to convert a voltage of the battery 142 into an operating voltage of a plurality of loads.

The battery may be a battery inside the electronic device or a battery outside the electronic device.

Optionally, as a possible implementation manner, fig. 9 shows a schematic structural diagram of another electronic device provided in the embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 9, the electronic device 100 further includes: the buck-boost converter 1411 includes an enable terminal EN and a MODE selection terminal MODE for providing an enable signal to the enable control terminal Vp.

The enable terminal EN is electrically connected to the enable control terminal Vp, the enable control terminal Vp provides an enable signal to the enable terminal EN of the buck-boost converter 1411, and the buck-boost converter 1411 is configured to start operating under control of the enable signal, that is, start converting the voltage of the battery into the operating voltages of the plurality of loads.

The MODE control module 1413 is electrically connected to the MODE selection terminal MODE.

It should be noted that, in the implementation process, the buck-boost converter 1411 is usually implemented by a buck-boost converter chip, at this time, the buck-boost converter 1411 includes a plurality of ports with different functions, where, usually, the buck-boost converter 1411 has an enable terminal EN and a MODE selection terminal MODE, the enable terminal is used to control the buck-boost converter to start operating, and the MODE selection terminal is used to switch the buck-boost converter 1411 to an operating MODE.

The enable control terminal Vp for providing a signal to the enable terminal EN may be any high level terminal in the electronic device 100, and outputs a constant high level. For example, the enable control terminal Vp may be an output terminal of a battery, at this time, the battery will pull up the enable terminal, so that the buck-boost converter 1411 starts to operate, or the enable control terminal Vp may be an output terminal of a power supply in the power management module, in this way, after the electronic device 100 is powered on, the power supply will pull up the enable terminal EN so that the buck-boost converter 1411 starts to operate, and after the electronic device 100 is powered off, the enable terminal EN may be pulled up according to a preset interval duration so that the buck-boost converter 1411 operates intermittently, so as to reduce power consumption of the electronic device 100 when the electronic device is powered off.

When the operation states of the plurality of loads are the first state, that is, when at least one camera 193 operates, the MODE control module 1413 provides a first control signal to the MODE selection terminal MODE of the buck-boost converter 1411, so that the buck-boost converter 1411 is configured to switch the operation MODE to the pulse width modulation MODE under the control of the first control signal.

When the operating states of the plurality of loads are the second state, that is, when the camera 193 does not operate, the MODE control module 1413 provides a second control signal to the MODE selection terminal MODE of the buck-boost converter 1411; thus, the buck-boost converter 1411 is configured to automatically switch the operating mode between the pulse width modulation mode and the pulse frequency modulation mode under the control of the second control signal.

It should be noted that, when at least one camera starts to work, no matter the load is light or heavy, the camera 193 is used as a priority target, and for the purpose of not affecting the photographing effect of the camera 193, the buck-boost converter 1411 is forcibly switched to the PWM MODE by providing the first control signal to the MODE selection terminal MODE, so that the power ripple is reduced although a little power consumption is sacrificed, and the camera 193 can photograph in a dark light without a dark stripe.

When the camera 193 does not work, the requirements of other loads on power supply ripples are not high, and at this time, according to the load weight, the second control signal is provided to the MODE selection end MODE, so that the buck-boost converter 1411 can be automatically switched between the PFM MODE and the PWM MODE, and power consumption can be reduced.

It should be noted that, for example, the first control signal may be a low-level signal or a ground level, and the second control signal may be a high-level signal. The terms "high" and "low" herein merely represent relative magnitude relationships between voltages.

Optionally, as a possible implementation manner, on the basis of fig. 9, fig. 10 shows a schematic structural diagram of another electronic device provided in the embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 10, the camera in the electronic device has a feedback voltage terminal V_IO Mode control module 1413 and feedback voltage terminal V of camera 193_IOElectrically connecting;

wherein, when the electronic device 100 comprises a plurality of cameras 193, each of the plurality of cameras 193 has a feedback voltage terminal V_IOFeedback voltage terminals of a plurality of cameras 193V_IOAre electrically connected to the mode control module 1413.

When the operation state is the first state, i.e. when at least one camera 193 is operating, the mode control module 1413 is configured to output the feedback voltage from the feedback voltage terminal V_IOGenerating a first control signal under the control of the provided first voltage, and then providing the first control signal to a MODE selection terminal MODE of the buck-boost converter 1411;

the mode control module 1413 is also used to control the output voltage from the feedback voltage terminal V when the operating state is the second state, i.e., when the camera 193 is not operating_IOThe second control signal is generated under the control of the supplied second voltage, and then the second control signal is supplied to the MODE selection terminal MODE of the buck-boost converter 1411.

It should be noted that the mode selection module 1413 obtains the working condition of the camera 193 by directly connecting with the camera 193, so that the feedback voltage end V of the camera 193 can be connected to the feedback voltage end V_IOOutputs a first control signal or a second control signal according to the operation of the camera 193.

For example, the first voltage may be a high level, and the second voltage is a low level, that is, when at least one camera is in operation, the feedback voltage terminal V of the camera is at_IOA constant high voltage is output, and when no camera works, a feedback voltage end V of the camera_IOA constant low voltage is output.

Alternatively, the first voltage may be a low level, and the second voltage is a high level, that is, when at least one camera operates, the feedback voltage terminal V of the camera_IOOutputting constant low voltage, when there is no camera working, the feedback voltage end V of the camera_IOA constant high voltage is output.

Alternatively, as a possible implementation manner, as shown in fig. 10, the mode control module 1413 in the electronic device 100 includes a first transistor T11 and a first resistor R11;

the gate G and the feedback voltage terminal V of the first transistor T11_IOElectrically connected, the first pole of the first transistor T11 is electrically connected to the ground GND, the second pole of the first transistor T11 is electrically connected to the modeThe select terminal MODE is electrically connected.

A first terminal of the first resistor R11 is electrically connected to the MODE selection terminal MODE, and a second terminal of the first resistor R11 is electrically connected to the enable control terminal Vp.

In contrast to the mode control module shown in fig. 9, when the mode control module includes the first transistor T11 and the first resistor R11, the first transistor T11 can be at the feedback voltage terminal V_IOIs turned on or off under the control of the switch, and plays a role of a switch. The first resistor R11 functions as a protection circuit.

It should be noted that the mode control module may further include a plurality of switching transistors connected in parallel with the first transistor T11, and/or a plurality of resistors connected in parallel with the first resistor R11. The above is merely an example of the mode control module, and other structures having the same function as the mode control module are not described in detail here, but all of them should fall into the protection scope of the present application.

Based on the above, it should be further noted that the first transistor T11 may be of an N-type or a P-type, and the first pole may be a drain, the second pole may be a source, or the first pole may be a source, and the second pole may be a drain. In addition, the first transistor may be an enhancement transistor or a depletion transistor depending on the conduction manner of the transistor. The specific form of the first transistor T11 may be set as needed, and the present application is not particularly limited in this regard.

Illustratively, referring to fig. 9, the first transistor T11 is an N-channel enhancement MOSFET, and has a first terminal electrically connected to the ground GND and a second terminal electrically connected to the MODE selection terminal MODE.

Optionally, as a possible implementation manner, on the basis of fig. 9, fig. 11 shows a schematic structural diagram of another electronic device provided in the embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 11, the electronic apparatus further includes: the mode control module 1413 is electrically connected to the general input output interface of the processor 110.

When the operating state is the first state, that is, when at least one camera 193 operates, the MODE control module 1413 is configured to generate a first control signal under the control of the third voltage from the gpio interface, and then transmit the first control signal to the MODE selection terminal MODE of the buck-boost converter 1411.

When the operating state is the second state, that is, when the camera 193 is not operating, the MODE control module 1413 is configured to generate a second control signal under the control of the fourth voltage from the gpio interface, and then transmit the second control signal to the MODE selection terminal MODE of the buck-boost converter 1411.

It should be noted that the processor 110 may determine the operating status of each load by reading the application status and flag status corresponding to the load or by retrieving the opened log file, and of course, the operating status of each camera is also included, and meanwhile, the processor 110 is also connected to the mode control module 1413, so as to control the output of the mode control module 1413 after the operating status of the camera 193 is confirmed. Based on this, the mode control module 1413 outputs the first control signal or the second control signal according to the working condition of the camera 193 under the control of the GPIO interface of the processor.

For example, the third voltage may be a high level, and the fourth voltage may be a low level, that is, when at least one camera is operated, the GPIO interface of the processor outputs a constant high voltage, and when no camera is operated, the GPIO interface of the processor outputs a constant low voltage.

Or, the third voltage may be a low level, and the fourth voltage is a high level, that is, when at least one camera operates, the GPIO interface of the processor outputs a constant low voltage, and when no camera operates, the GPIO interface of the processor outputs a constant high voltage.

Optionally, as a possible implementation manner, with reference to fig. 11, when the operating state is the first state, that is, when at least one camera 193 is operating, the processor 110 is further configured to determine a gain and an exposure time at the camera 193, and transmit the third voltage to the GPIO interface when the gain and the exposure time meet preset conditions, so that the MODE control module 1413 outputs the first control signal to the MODE selection terminal MODE under the control of the third voltage from the GPIO interface.

Otherwise, when the gain and the exposure time do not satisfy the preset conditions, even if the camera is working, the fourth voltage is transmitted to the GPIO interface, so that the MODE control module 1413 outputs the second control signal to the MODE selection terminal MODE under the control of the fourth voltage from the GPIO interface.

Here, information such as gain and exposure time of the camera 193 can be set in advance by an Auto Exposure (AE) module of the ISP. The specific parameters may be set as required, and the present application is not limited to this.

It can be understood that when the gain and the exposure time satisfy the preset conditions, it indicates that the camera 193 is in a dark environment under certain conditions, and at this time, the working mode of the buck-boost converter 1411 has a large influence on the photographing effect of the camera 193, so that the processor 110 needs to provide a third voltage to the GPIO interface to prompt the mode control module 1413 to have a camera that is working in a dark environment. When the gain and the exposure time do not satisfy the preset conditions, it indicates that the environment where the camera 193 is located has little influence on the shooting effect, and it is not necessary to force the buck-boost converter 1411 to operate in the PWM mode. At this time, it is equivalent to have a preliminary screening for the shooting environment, and more precise control is made on whether the mode of the buck-boost converter 1411 needs to be changed.

Optionally, as a possible implementation manner, as shown in fig. 11, the mode control module includes a second resistor R12, a third resistor R13;

the first end of the second resistor R12 is electrically connected to the GPIO interface, and the second end of the second resistor R12 is electrically connected to the MODE selection terminal MODE.

The second resistor R12 and the third resistor R13 may function as a protection circuit, and here, the resistance of the second resistor R12 may also be approximately zero.

It should be noted that the mode control module 1413 may further include a plurality of resistors connected in parallel with the second resistor R12 and/or a plurality of resistors connected in parallel with the third resistor R13. The above is merely an illustration of the mode control module 1413, and other structures having the same functions as the mode control module 1413 are not described in detail here, but all shall fall within the scope of the present application.

It should be further noted that the mode control module 1413 may also be electrically connected to other loads to obtain the operating conditions of the other loads, or the mode control module 1413 may be electrically connected to the processor, and the processor 110 may be electrically connected to the other loads to determine the operating conditions of the other loads and then transmit the operating conditions to the mode control module 1413. The specific connection mode, the specific acquisition mode, and the specific acquisition data may be set as needed, and this is not particularly limited in this application.

It is to be understood that the illustrated structure of the embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit the electronic device 100. In other embodiments of the present application, electronic device 100 may include more or fewer components than shown, or some components may be combined, some components may be split, or a different arrangement of components.

In this case, the first stage is: switches S1 and S4 are closed, switches S2 and S3 are open, inductor L charges, and the second phase is: switches S2 and S3 are closed, switches S1 and S4 are open, and inductor L discharges. The first stage and the second stage are repeated, whereby the buck-boost converter can convert the input voltage to the output voltage.

When the input voltage is lower than the output voltage, the buck-boost converter is equivalent to boosting. In this case, the first stage is: switches S1 and S3 are closed, switches S2 and S4 are open, inductor L charges, and the second phase is: switches S1 and S4 are closed, switches S2 and S3 are open, and inductor L discharges.

And S20, the low dropout regulator reduces the ripple of the working voltage provided by the buck-boost converter for the at least one camera.

S30, when the working state is the first state, namely when at least one camera works, the mode control module provides a first control signal for the buck-boost converter; under the control of the first control signal, the buck-boost converter switches the working mode into the pulse width modulation mode.

The embodiment of the application provides a control method of electronic equipment, when at least one camera works in a load, a first control signal is provided for a buck-boost converter through a mode control module, so that the buck-boost converter works in a pulse width modulation mode, and because a power supply ripple wave of the pulse width modulation mode is small, the influence of the power supply ripple wave on the camera can be eliminated, and the problem that dark stripes appear when the camera shoots in dark light is solved.

Optionally, as a possible implementation manner, as shown in fig. 16, the method further includes:

s40, when the working state is the second state, namely when no camera works, the mode control module provides a second control signal for the buck-boost converter; and under the control of the second control signal, the buck-boost converter automatically switches the working mode between the pulse width modulation mode and the pulse frequency modulation mode.

Because the embodiment of the application also provides the second control signal for the buck-boost converter through the mode control module under other conditions without the working of the camera, the buck-boost converter can be automatically switched between the pulse width modulation mode and the pulse frequency modulation mode, and the purposes of reducing power consumption and improving power efficiency are achieved.

Because the buck-boost converter usually has an enable end and a mode selection end, therefore, a signal can be provided to the enable end EN so that the buck-boost converter starts to load the working voltage of the voltage converter of the battery.

When the camera does not work, the second control signal is provided for the mode selection end of the buck-boost converter, so that the buck-boost converter can be automatically switched between a pulse width modulation mode and a pulse frequency modulation mode, and the purposes of reducing power consumption and improving power efficiency are achieved.

Alternatively, as a possible implementation manner, in conjunction with fig. 14, when the camera 193 in the electronic device 100 has the feedback voltage terminal V_IO Mode control module 1413 and feedback voltage terminal V of camera 193_IOElectric connectionThen, S30 includes:

It should be noted that, when the resistance of the first resistor R11 is small, it can be ignored, the enable signal is used as the second control signal to be transmitted to the MODE selection terminal MODE, and when the resistance of the first resistor R11 is large, the enable signal is divided by the first resistor R11 and then is used as the second control signal to be transmitted to the MODE selection terminal MODE.

For example, referring to fig. 14, if the first transistor T11 in the MODE selection module 1413 is an N-channel enhancement MOSFET, the first electrode is electrically connected to the source terminal GND, the second electrode is electrically connected to the drain terminal MODE, the resistance of the first resistor R11 is 100k Ω, and the enable signal at the enable control terminal Vp is at a high level.

Based on this, when at least one camera 193 works, the working camera 193 will feed back the voltage end V_IOIf the gate G of the first transistor T11 is provided with a high level, the first transistor T11 will be turned on, the ground level connected to the source of the first transistor T11 will be transmitted to the MODE selection terminal MODE, and at this time, the MODE selection terminal MODE will be pulled to the ground level, and the buck-boost converter 1411 will be forced to operate in the PWM MODE. The switching frequency of the PWM mode is assumed to be 2MHz, so that the sensitive frequency band of the camera 193 can be avoided, and the problem of dark stripes is solved.

When no camera 193 operates, all the feedback voltage terminals V of the camera 193_IOThe low level is provided for the gate G of the first transistor T11, the first transistor T11 is turned off, at this time, the MODE selection terminal MODE is pulled up to the enable control terminal Vp through the first resistor R11, the MODE selection terminal MODE inputs the high level, and the buck-boost converter 1411 automatically switches between the pulse width modulation MODE and the pulse frequency modulation MODE, so that the purposes of improving the power supply efficiency and prolonging the endurance time of the mobile phone are achieved.

the processor determines the gain and exposure time of the camera.

When the gain and the exposure time of the camera meet preset conditions, the processor provides a third voltage for the general input/output interface; otherwise, the fourth voltage is provided to the general input output interface.

For example, as shown in fig. 15, if the resistance of the second resistor R12 is 0 Ω, and the resistance of the third resistor R13 is 100k Ω, the enable control terminal Vp is at a high level.

Based on this, when there is at least one camera 193 operating, the processor 110 determines that there is the camera 193 operating, and provides a low level to the GPIO interface, then under the control of the low level from the GPIO interface, the MODE selection terminal MODE will be pulled low, and the buck-boost converter 1411 will be forced to operate in the PWM MODE. The switching frequency of the PWM mode is assumed to be 2MHz, so that the sensitive frequency band of the camera 193 can be avoided, and the problem of dark stripes is solved.

Here, the processor 110 may first determine whether the gain and the exposure time of the camera satisfy preset conditions, and if so, provide a low level to the GPIO interface, and if not, provide a high level to the GPIO interface.

When the camera 193 does not work, the processor 110 provides a high level for the GPIO interface, the MODE selection terminal MODE is pulled high, and the buck-boost converter 1411 automatically switches between the pulse width modulation MODE and the pulse frequency modulation MODE, so as to achieve the purposes of improving the power efficiency and prolonging the endurance time of the mobile phone.
