Description
Technical Field
The application relates to the technical field of power supply, in particular to a multiphase power supply control device and a multiphase power supply.
Background
With the increase of the chip scale, the core working current of the chip is multiplied, and the layout of the multiphase power supply is difficult. The multi-phase power supply is a technology for realizing adjustment and control of the power supply by connecting a plurality of power conversion circuits in parallel and distributing a switch modulation process to different phases, and is suitable for application scenes of high current or high power. Pulse width modulation pulse width modulation, PWM) signals between the phase sources in the multi-phase power source may be the same or staggered by a certain phase so that the ripple frequency of the output and input is the product of the switching frequency of each phase and the number of phases, thereby reducing the use of capacitors and reducing the input current surge, and also accelerating the response to load current variation.
In order to make full use of space, multiphase power supplies exist in a number of different layouts. For example: each power supply layout in the multiphase power supply may be different from the chip or may be of different board-to-board configuration, and the multiphase power supply may be asymmetrically arranged with respect to the chip. In addition, as the chip is updated iteratively, the core operating current density of the chip is also increased continuously, and the multiphase power supply is required to perform a horizontal and vertical mixed layout to support the current supply capability because the horizontal or vertical single layout of the multiphase power supply cannot meet the requirements of power density and energy efficiency at the same time. Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a multi-phase power supply with a hybrid horizontal and vertical arrangement.
The controller for controlling the power supplies of each phase adopts a proportional-integral-derivative control (PID) control mode to control the output voltage of the power supplies of each phase, wherein the PID control mode comprises a traditional PID control mode and a nonlinear control mode. If the chip working current generates dynamic large jump, the controller triggers nonlinear control on each phase of power supply, so that all phases of power supplies can be quickly powered up or powered down, and the problem of dropping or overshooting of the output voltage of the multiphase power supply caused by current loading is reduced, wherein the current jump means that the chip working current exceeds a set current threshold.
The power distribution network (power delivery network, PDN) of each phase power supply to the chip varies significantly when the multiphase power supply is laid out in a horizontal and vertical mix. The PDN refers to the physical path that delivers mains power from a mains supply to a load. Taking the structure shown in fig. 1 as an example, the horizontal phase power supply PDN is several times the vertical phase power supply PDN. Because of the large PDN difference between the horizontal phase power supply and the vertical phase power supply layout, there is a difference in parasitic impedance for each phase power supply. And because the logic of the controller for controlling each phase of power supply is the same, and because the PDN of the phase power supply far away from the chip is larger, the response of the phase power supply with larger PDN has delay, and the working performance of the multiphase power supply when the current large dynamic jump occurs is influenced. Thus, to counteract the delay to achieve a better output voltage sag effect, the controller-triggered nonlinear control is deeper, and when the controller exits the nonlinear control, greater overshoot and oscillation are also likely to occur.
In view of this, it is necessary to provide a multiphase power supply control device and a multiphase power supply, so as to improve the overall dynamic response performance of the multiphase power supply and make the layout of each phase of the multiphase power supply more flexible.

In a first aspect, the present application provides a multiphase power supply control device, the multiphase power supply including a plurality of switching circuits, the output terminals of the plurality of switching circuits being coupled together to provide an output voltage for a load; the multiphase power supply control device comprises a feedback circuit and a control circuit; the feedback circuit is used for generating a feedback control signal according to the output voltage and the rated voltage of the load; the control circuit comprises a plurality of PWM controllers which are in one-to-one correspondence with the switch circuits, and each PWM controller is used for providing pulse width modulation signals for the corresponding switch circuit according to feedback control signals and PDN parameters of a power distribution network, wherein the PDN parameters comprise impedance and parasitic parameters in PDNs corresponding to loads from the switch circuit.
According to the PWM controller, pulse width modulation signals can be provided for corresponding switch circuits according to feedback control signals and PDN parameters of a power distribution network, so that better dynamic response performance is achieved. Under the condition that feedback control signals are the same, if PDN parameters corresponding to some switch circuits are smaller, pulse width modulation signals with faster frequency or wider pulse width can be adopted to realize control of the switch circuits, and as the PDN parameters corresponding to the switch circuits are smaller, the switch circuits can be used as dynamic complementary phase power supplies and quickly respond to current jump so as to reduce the response time of output complementary power, thereby improving the overall dynamic performance of the multiphase power supply. If PDN parameters corresponding to some switch circuits are larger, control of the switch circuits can be achieved by adopting pulse width modulation signals with relatively low frequency or relatively narrow pulse width, and the PDN parameters corresponding to the switch circuits are larger, so that the switch circuits can be used as power supply bearing phase power supplies after steady state, the problem of voltage overshoot after adjustment is reduced, and the overall steady state performance of the multiphase power supply is considered.

When the load current rises in a transient mode, the first PWM controller provides a pulse width modulation signal with a first width for the corresponding first switch circuit, the second PWM controller provides a pulse width modulation signal with a second width for the corresponding second switch circuit, the first switch circuit has longer on time due to the fact that the first width is wider than the second width, more energy is provided for the load, when the load current drops in a transient mode, the first PWM controller provides a pulse width modulation signal with a third width for the corresponding first switch circuit, the second PWM controller provides a pulse width modulation signal with a second width for the corresponding second switch circuit, and the first switch circuit has shorter on time due to the fact that the third width is narrower than the second width, and therefore the problem of voltage overshoot of the load is avoided.

In order to fill the voltage dip when the load is current transient rising, the first PWM controller may control the first switching circuit output to vary the first output current with a first slope. The rising speed of the output current of the first switch circuit is enabled to catch up with the rising speed of the load current as much as possible by adjusting the slope, so that the advantage of low response speed of the PDN parameter of the first switch circuit is utilized as much as possible, and output drop is prevented. In order to avoid voltage overshoot when a transient drop in current occurs in the load, the first PWM controller may control the first switching circuit output to vary the first output current at a third slope.

However, the exemplary embodiments can be embodied in many forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the concept of the example embodiments to those skilled in the art. The same reference numerals in the drawings denote the same or similar structures, and thus a repetitive description thereof will be omitted. The words expressing the positions and directions described in the present application are described by taking the drawings as an example, but can be changed according to the needs, and all the changes are included in the protection scope of the present application. The drawings of the present application are for illustration of relative positional relationships and are not intended to represent true scale.
For the purpose of making the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more apparent, the present application will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The specific method of operation in the method embodiment may also be applied to the device embodiment or the system embodiment. In the description of the present application, "at least one" means one or more, wherein a plurality means two or more. In view of this, the term "plurality" may also be understood as "at least two" in embodiments of the present invention. "and/or", describes an association relationship of an association object, and indicates that there may be three relationships, for example, a and/or B, and may indicate: a exists alone, A and B exist together, and B exists alone. The character "/", unless otherwise specified, generally indicates that the associated object is an "or" relationship. In addition, it should be understood that in the description of this application, the words "first," "second," and the like are used for distinguishing between the descriptions and not necessarily for indicating or implying a relative importance, nor for indicating or implying a sequential order.
It should be noted that "connected" in the embodiments of the present application refers to an electrical connection, and two electrical components may be connected directly or indirectly between two electrical components. For example, a may be directly connected to B, or indirectly connected to B through one or more other electrical components, for example, a may be directly connected to B, or directly connected to C, and C may be directly connected to B, where a and B are connected through C.
Under the service scenes such as calculation, network service and the like, the core working current of the chip gradually increases, but the core area of the service chip is limited under the scene, so that partial phase power sources can be vertically distributed at the part, the distance between the vertically distributed phase power sources and the chip is relatively short, and the PDN is smaller. But there are many areas around the chip that can be fully utilized, it can lay out the phase power horizontally, the distance between this area and the chip is bigger, PDN is bigger too, it is used for steady state power supply, thus reduce the power supply pressure of the phase power of vertical layout, promote the availability factor of the electric energy. However, the logic of the current controllers for controlling the power supplies of all phases is the same, and as PDNs of the power supplies of all phases are different, the response of the power supply of the phase with larger PDNs has delay, which affects the working performance of the multiphase power supply when current dynamic jump occurs.
In view of this, the present application provides a multiphase power control device 200, which can improve the overall dynamic response performance of the multiphase power, and further make the layout of each phase of the multiphase power more flexible. Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of a multiphase power supply control apparatus, wherein a multiphase power supply 201 includes a plurality of switch circuits 202, and output terminals of the switch circuits 202 are coupled together to provide an output voltage for a load 203; the multiphase power supply control device 200 includes a feedback circuit 204 and a control circuit 205.
And a feedback circuit 204 for generating a feedback control signal according to the output voltage and the rated voltage of the load 203. The control circuit 205 includes a plurality of PWM controllers 206 corresponding to the switch circuits 202 one to one, and each PWM controller 206 is configured to provide a pulse width modulation signal to the corresponding switch circuit 202 according to a feedback control signal and a PDN parameter of the power distribution network, where the PDN parameter includes an impedance and a parasitic parameter in the PDN corresponding between the switch circuit 202 and the load 203.
The switching circuit 202 includes a switching device, which may be one or more of a plurality of types of switching devices such as a relay, a metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor, MOSFET), a bipolar junction transistor (bipolar junction transistor, BJT), an insulated gate bipolar transistor (insulated gate bipolar transistor, IGBT), a silicon carbide (SiC) power transistor, and the like, which are not further described in the embodiments of the present application. Illustratively, a plurality of switching devices may form a circuit such as a power processing circuit (powerstage IC), a drive transistor (drMOS), a voltage regulation module (voltage regulator module, VRM) for providing an output voltage to the load 203 for powering the load 203.
The feedback circuit 204 is configured to generate a feedback control signal according to the output voltage of the load 203 and the rated voltage. The feedback circuit 204 may include, for example, an error amplification circuit for generating an error amplified signal based on the magnitude of the output voltage and the magnitude of the nominal voltage, and a signal processing circuit for performing a filtered amplitude modulation process on the error method signal to generate the feedback control signal.
The PWM controller 206 may be a general purpose central processing unit (central processing unit, CPU), general purpose processor, digital signal processing (digital signal processing, DSP), application specific integrated circuit (application specific integrated circuits, ASIC), field programmable gate array (field programmable gate array, FPGA) or other programmable logic device, transistor logic device, hardware components, or any combination thereof. Which may implement or perform the various exemplary logic blocks, modules, and circuits described in connection with this disclosure. The processor described above may also be a combination that performs the function of a computation, e.g., including one or more microprocessors, a combination of a DSP and a microprocessor, and so on. Illustratively, the PWM controller 206 may control the switching circuits 202 in a constant on-time (COT) control manner, and since the constant on-time control manner has a very good dynamic response speed, the on-time of the switching devices in each switching circuit 202 is nearly constant at a fixed input voltage and output voltage.
In addition, each PWM controller 206 provided in the embodiments of the present application may generate a pulse width modulation signal according to the feedback control signal and the PDN parameter, so that the corresponding switching circuit 202 provides the output voltage to the load 203. The feedback control signal is generated according to the output voltage and the rated voltage of the load 203. The PDN parameters corresponding to the switching circuit 202 include impedance and parasitic parameters in the PDN corresponding between the switching circuit 202 and the load 203. Since the switching circuit 202 is connected to the load 203 by metal, which always presents some impedance and parasitic inductance, the PDN parameters include impedance parameters and parasitic inductance.
Even if the feedback control signals are the same, if the PDN parameters are different, the response times of the different switching circuits 202 are different. The longer the response time of the switching circuit 202, the larger the PDN parameter, the delay, and the shorter the response time of the switching circuit 202, the smaller the PDN parameter. If a better voltage drop is desired, the PWM controller 206 is required to perform more in-depth control of the switching circuit 202 to obtain a better response. But deeper control also makes PWM controller 206 prone to greater overshoot and oscillation when exiting control.
Based on the above-mentioned problems, each PWM controller 206 of the present application may jointly provide a pulse width modulation signal to the corresponding switching circuit 202 according to the feedback control signal and the PDN parameter of the power distribution network, so as to achieve better dynamic response performance. For example, if the load 203 has a transient rise in current, if the PDN parameters corresponding to some switch circuits 202 are smaller under the same feedback control signal, the control of the switch circuits 202 may be implemented by using a pwm signal with a faster frequency or a wider pulse width, and because the PDN parameters corresponding to the switch circuits 202 are smaller, the switch circuits may be used as a dynamic complementary phase power supply to quickly respond to the current jump, so as to reduce the response time of the output complementary power supply, thereby improving the overall dynamic performance of the multiphase power supply 201. If some of the switch circuits 202 have larger PDN parameters, the control of the switch circuits 202 may be implemented by using a pulse width modulation signal with a relatively low frequency or a relatively narrow pulse width, and because the PDN parameters corresponding to the switch circuits 202 are larger, they may be used as a power supply carrier phase power supply after steady state, so as to reduce the problem of voltage overshoot after adjustment, and thus compromise the overall steady state performance of the multiphase power supply 201.
In order to solve the problem that, for example, in the vertical/horizontal hybrid power supply scenario, the distances between some phase power supplies in the multiphase power supply 201 and the load 203 are different, referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of a multiphase power supply control device two, as a possible implementation manner, the plurality of switch circuits 202 includes at least one first switch circuit 301 and at least one second switch circuit 302, where a PDN parameter of the first switch circuit 301 is not greater than a set PDN threshold, and a PDN parameter of the second switch circuit 302 is greater than the set PDN threshold. The second PWM controller 304 is configured to provide a pulse width modulation signal to the second switching circuit 302, and the first PWM controller 303 is configured to provide a pulse width modulation signal to the first switching circuit 301, where the present application is not limited to using a certain set PDN threshold to distinguish between the plurality of switching circuits 202, and the above classification is taken as an example. The embodiments of the present application may also be classified according to the distance between each of the plurality of switch circuits 202 and the load 203, which is not limited herein.
In addition, each of the switch circuits 202 in the plurality of switch circuits 202 may be classified into multiple types according to PDN parameters, for example, a first set PDN threshold value to an nth set PDN threshold value are set at the same time, and according to the set threshold value interval, the switch circuits 202 falling into the same interval are classified into the same type of switch circuits 202.
Illustratively, the first switch circuit 301 according to the above embodiment may be regarded as the switch circuit 202 closer to the load 203 (e.g., the switch circuit 202 vertically disposed on the load 203 and thus closer to the load 203), and the second switch circuit 302 may be regarded as the switch circuit 202 farther from the load 203 (e.g., the switch circuit 202 horizontally disposed on the load 203 and thus farther from the load 203).
In the above classification manner, the PWM controller 206 corresponding to the first switch circuit 301 and the PWM controller 206 corresponding to the second switch circuit 302 may respectively execute two different control strategies to respectively control the on-time of the different switch circuits 202 when the current of the load 203 jumps. For example, if the current transient rise of the load 203 occurs, the control of the first switch circuit 301 may be implemented by using a pulse width modulation signal with a faster frequency or a wider pulse width, so that the gain coefficient of the first switch circuit 301 is significantly improved, thereby implementing fast power supply and reducing the voltage drop of the load 203.
