Description

Drive control module and synchronous rectification circuit
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of power chips, in particular to a driving control module and a synchronous rectification circuit.
Background
The BUCK type switching power supply system is divided into two working modes of synchronous rectification and asynchronous rectification.
The asynchronous rectification system adopts a Schottky diode as a follow current tube, and the conversion efficiency of the system is low due to the existence of the voltage drop of the Schottky diode.
The MOS power tube for synchronous rectification is used as a follow current tube to improve the conversion efficiency of the system, and the corresponding MOS power tube is replaced by a Schottky diode, so that the system damage caused by simultaneous opening of an upper tube and a lower tube of a synchronous rectification switch power supply system is avoided, and an MOS drive module and a drive control module are added to the whole system.
In practical application, the driving control module is generally realized by adopting a dead-time circuit, namely, a certain time delay exists between an 'upper tube' driving signal and a 'lower tube' driving signal, so that two power tubes of the synchronous rectification switch power supply system can not be simultaneously started. In practical applications, since the characteristics of the semiconductor device are greatly affected by temperature, the dead time is also greatly affected by temperature. In some synchronous rectification system applications, when a chip is designed, the driving capability of the chip is generally fixed, and the chip is suitable for different power MOS (gate-source parasitic capacitors corresponding to the MOS are different in size), different working voltages, different output powers and different working temperatures if needed; the variation of any one of the parameters is different corresponding to the on-off time of the MOS, and the dead time required correspondingly is also different. Therefore, the dead time circuit with the traditional structure has poor compatibility to application and cannot be well adapted to various types of power MOS and application conditions.
In summary, in the prior art, the driving control module needs to ensure that the upper tube and the lower tube are not opened simultaneously through a fixed delay, so that poor compatibility is caused, or the dead time is too long, which affects the conversion efficiency.

In the subsequent part of this specification, a complete embodiment is shown by the design idea shown in fig. 1, but it can be understood that an embodiment obtained based on the design idea shown in fig. 2a or fig. 2b also has a certain adaptive characteristic, and under a special working condition, it may be necessary to adopt the driving control module 206 shown in fig. 2a or fig. 2b to implement a synchronous rectification circuit, and these three embodiments can solve the technical problem proposed in the background art, and have beneficial effects under different working conditions, all of which belong to the protection scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
The synchronous rectification circuit according to the present embodiment is shown in fig. 3, and fig. 3 shows a power supply circuit 10, a switching power supply control chip 20, a power tube 30 and an output circuit 40, wherein the details of the switching power supply control chip are described later. The switching power supply control chip 20 detects the magnitude of the output voltage VOUT by the resistor-divided feedback signal (i.e., the feedback voltage) FB of the first voltage-dividing resistor 403 and the second voltage-dividing resistor 404, and adjusts the duty ratio of the chip internal power pipe control signal GATEP in time to realize constant voltage output. The upper tube 301 is a PMOS power tube and is a power output tube of the whole system, and the lower tube 302 is an NMOS power tube, and is used for providing a follow current loop for the energy storage inductor 401 in the turn-off period of the PMOS power tube in the switching power supply control chip 20. In fig. 3, the remaining elements are described as follows: an input power supply 101 serving as an entire system power supply; an input filter capacitor 102 for filtering; an input drop capacitor 103, configured to provide a supply voltage VC of the upper tube driving module 207; and an output filter capacitor 402 for filtering.
Fig. 4 shows an internal structure of the switching power supply control chip 20, and as shown in fig. 4, the switching power supply control chip includes a regulator and reference module 201, the driving control module 206, the upper tube driving module 207, the lower tube driving module 208, and a rectification driving module 211.
The regulator and reference module 201 is configured to provide a regulated voltage VDD, a first reference voltage VREF, and a reference current IBIAS.
The rectifying driving module 211 is configured to output the rectifying driving signal DRIVE, and specifically includes: oscillator 202, error amplifier 203, comparator 204, digital signal processing unit 205, frequency compensation resistor 209 and frequency compensation capacitor 210. The error amplifier 203 outputs a voltage signal VE based on a voltage difference between the feedback voltage FB and the first reference voltage VREF, and the comparator 204 generates a base driving signal OUT based on the voltage signal VE and an oscillation signal SAW generated by the oscillator 202. Under a normal condition, the digital signal processing unit 205 converts the basic driving signal OUT into the rectified driving signal DRIVE with the same waveform and outputs the rectified driving signal DRIVE, and under a specific condition, the digital signal processing unit 205 outputs the rectified driving signal DRIVE according to a preset logic. The oscillator 202 is further configured to provide the digital signal processing unit 205 with period information of the oscillation signal SAW based on a period indication signal OSC. According to the introduction of the rectifying driving module 211 in the present specification, the specific structure of the rectifying driving module 211 is not limited to the scheme shown in fig. 4.
The upper tube driving module 207 is further configured to detect a real-time current of a PMOS power tube (i.e., the upper tube 301) through a SW pin, and trigger an over-current signal OCP when the current of the PMOS power tube reaches a preset value.
As shown in fig. 4, the driving control module 206 is further configured to output an over-current masking signal LEB while switching the top tube control signal DRP to the first level; the first level corresponds to the on control of the upper tube 301, i.e. high level in this embodiment, and the over-current masking signal DRP is used to mask the over-current signal OCP at the on moment of the upper tube 301. Because the power tube is turned on and has peak current, the current can cause false triggering to the system, and the current of the power tube is sampled after the peak current is ended. In this embodiment, shielding the OCP signal in a short time after the power transistor is turned on may be implemented by a simpler circuit, which is beneficial to turning on the upper transistor 301 and avoiding the influence of the over-current signal OCP. In order to facilitate the normal opening of the upper tube 301, there are many potential implementation schemes, but the scheme provided by the embodiment has small modification to the existing circuit, is not easy to cause unpredictable errors, and is a better choice. It is to be understood that "simultaneously" herein should be understood to mean that the trigger times of both are within engineering tolerances, and not simultaneously in an absolute sense.
As can be seen from fig. 4, the synchronous rectification circuit further includes a rectification driving module 211, and the rectification driving module 211 is configured to output the rectification driving signal DRIVE.
The commutation drive module 211 is configured to: when not receiving overcurrent signal OCP or receive simultaneously overcurrent shield signal LEB with when overcurrent signal OCP, if feedback voltage FB is greater than first reference voltage VERF, reduce the duty cycle of rectification DRIVE signal DRIVE, if feedback voltage FB is less than first reference voltage VERF, improve the duty cycle of rectification DRIVE signal DRIVE. Equality may be performed according to suitable logic, e.g. maintaining, increasing or decreasing the duty cycle of the rectified DRIVE signal DRIVE.
And when the over-current signal OCP is received and the over-current shielding signal LEB is not received, reducing the duty ratio of the rectification driving signal DRIVE.

Based on the above connection relationship, the core logic unit 2062 operates according to the following logic: when GATEN _ FB is at high level, Q10 and Q13 are turned on, DRP is pulled down to low level, at the moment, if the DRIVE signal is changed from low to high, Q7 is turned on, Q9 is turned off, at the moment, because Q10 is turned on, DRP signals do not change, at the moment, Q23 is turned off, Q25 is turned on, the DRN signals are changed from high to low to control the NMOS driving circuit to turn off the NMOS power tube, when the voltage GATEN at the GATE end of the NMOS power tube is reduced to VR, at the moment, GATEN _ FB is changed from high to low, at the moment, the DRP signals are changed from low to high to control the PMOS driving circuit to turn on the PMOS power tube. When GATEP _ FB is at high level, Q26 is turned on, at this time, if the DRIVE signal changes from high to low, Q7 is turned off, Q23 is turned on, and Q25 is turned off, at this time, since the signal of DRN that Q26 is turned on is still at low level, Q7 is turned off, Q9 is turned on, the DRP signal changes from high to low, the PMOS power tube is controlled to be turned off by the PMOS driving circuit, when GATEP at the GATE terminal voltage of the PMOS power tube rises to VCC-VR, GATEP _ FB changes from high to low, at this time, the DRN signal changes from low to high to control the NMOS driving circuit to turn on the NMOS power tube. The Q11 and Q16 are used for clamping DRP and the high-level voltage of the point A, when the Q9 and the Q10 are turned off, the voltage of the DRP is VR + VEBQ11, the voltage of the point A is VR + VEBQ16, and the reason for raising the high-level voltage of the DRP is that the trigger voltage required by the PMOS driving voltage in the common transistor process is higher. When GATEN _ FB is high, Q13 is turned on, Q15 is turned off, the voltage at point a is VR + VEB6, the voltage at point B is VR + VEB6+ VEB18, the voltage at point C is I1 × R4+ VBEQ21, when GATEN _ FB is changed from high to low, the DRP signal is changed from low to high, Q13 is turned off, Q15 is turned on, the voltage at point a is pulled to GND, the voltage at point B is pulled down to VEBQ18, the voltage drops to VR + VEB16, and since the voltage at both ends of the capacitor cannot change suddenly, the voltage at point C also drops to VR + VEB16, at point Q21 is turned off, the LEB signal is changed from low to high, the current I1 starts to charge the capacitor C, and the voltage at point C rises. When the charging voltage is equal to I1 × R4+0.7V, Q21 turns on and the LEB signal goes high and low again. That is, the LEB signal is a brief high signal when the PMOS is turned on, which is used to mask the OCP signal from acting on the entire circuit.
