Embodiment
Below, be example with the structure of in the down switching regulator of bootstrap approach, having used the utility model, at length describe.
< the 1st execution mode >
Fig. 1 is the circuit block diagram of the 1st execution mode of expression switching regulaor.As shown in the drawing; The switching regulaor of the 1st execution mode is except Switching Power Supply IC1; Also possessing N channel-type MOS field-effect transistor N1 and N2, inductor L1, resistance R 1 and R2 and capacitor C1 and C2 in addition, is the down switching regulator (synchronous commutation type adjuster) that comes to generate according to input voltage vin the output voltage V out of expectation through the conduction and cut-off control of carrying out transistor N1 and N2.
Switching Power Supply IC1 possesses last side driver 10, the monolithic semiconductor integrated circuit device of side driver 20, diode 30, control circuit 40, excess voltage protection 50, over-voltage protection switch 60 down.
In addition, as with the electrical connecting unit of outside, Switching Power Supply IC1 possesses upside lead-out terminal HO, downside lead-out terminal LO, bootstrapping terminal BST, switch terminal SW, feedback terminal FB, constant voltage terminal REG, earth terminal GND.
In the outside of Switching Power Supply IC1, the drain electrode of transistor N1 is connected applying on the end of input voltage vin.The source electrode of transistor N1 and back grid all are connected on the switch terminal SW.The grid of transistor N1 is connected on the upside lead-out terminal HO.The drain electrode of transistor N2 is connected on the switch terminal SW.Source electrode and the back grid of transistor N2 all are connected on the earth terminal.The grid of transistor N2 is connected on the downside lead-out terminal LO.The 1st end of inductor L1 is connected on the switch terminal SW.The 2nd end of inductor L1 is connected applying on the end of output voltage V out, on the other hand, also is connected on the 1st end of the 1st end and resistance R 1 of capacitor C1.The 2nd end of capacitor C1 is connected on the earth terminal.The 2nd end of resistance R 1 is connected on the earth terminal via resistance R 2.The connected node of resistance R 1 and resistance R 2 is connected on the feedback terminal FB, as the end that applies of feedback voltage Vfb.Between switch terminal SW and bootstrapping terminal BST, connected capacitor C2.Constant voltage terminal REG is connected between the applying of constant voltage Vreg.Earth terminal GND is connected on the earth terminal.
In addition; Transistor N1 and N2 are the pair of switches elements between end and the earth terminal that applies that is connected in series in input voltage vin; Make this to the switch element conduction and cut-off with the mode of auxilliary (exclusive) mutually, thereby according to the switching voltage Vsw of input voltage vin production burst shape.In addition, transistor N1 plays the effect of output transistor, and transistor N2 plays the effect of synchronous rectification transistor.In addition, the term of employed in above-mentioned " mutually auxilliary (exclusive) " also comprises the situation between the off period when viewpoint that prevents from perforation electric current is provided with transistor N1 and N2 except the situation that the conduction and cut-off that comprises transistor N1 and N2 is reversed fully.
In addition, inductor L1 and capacitor C1 play the effect of rectification/smoothing circuit of the switching voltage Vsw that draws from switch terminal SW being carried out generating after rectification/smoothing the output voltage V out of expectation.Resistance R 1 and R2 play the effect of the feedback voltage generative circuit (resistor voltage divider circuit) that generates the feedback voltage Vfb corresponding with output voltage V out.Capacitor C2 forms boostrap circuit with diode built-in in Switching Power Supply IC1 30.
The internal structure of Switching Power Supply IC1 then, is described.
Last side driver 10 generates the grid voltage (switching drive signal) of transistor N1, and outputs it to upside lead-out terminal HO based on the indication from control circuit 40.Following side driver 20 generates the grid voltage (switching drive signal) of transistor N2, and outputs it to downside lead-out terminal LO based on the indication from control circuit 40.The driving voltage of last side driver 10 applies on the connected node between the 1st end of negative electrode and over-voltage protection switch 60 that end is connected diode 30 (driving voltage Vx apply end).The reference voltage of last side driver 10 applies end and is connected on the switch terminal SW.The driving voltage of following side driver 20 applies end and is connected on the constant voltage terminal REG.The reference voltage of following side driver 20 applies end and is connected on the earth terminal GND.The high level that offers the grid voltage of transistor N1 is driving voltage Vx, and low level is earthed voltage GND.In addition, the high level that offers the grid voltage of transistor N2 is constant voltage Vreg, and low level is earthed voltage GND.
Diode 30 is connected between constant voltage terminal REG and the bootstrapping terminal BST, and C2 constitutes boostrap circuit with capacitor.Draw the driving voltage Vx of side driver 10 from the negative electrode of diode 30.In addition; After under the situation that overvoltage protection action does not start and over-voltage protection switch 60 is connected stated, driving voltage Vx is consistent with the booster voltage Vbst (exceeding the magnitude of voltage of the amount corresponding with the charging voltage of capacitor C2 (deducting the voltage of the forward voltage drop Vf of diode 30 from constant voltage Vreg) than switching voltage Vsw) that on the terminal BST that boots, occurs.On the other hand, after under the overvoltage protection action launching stated and over-voltage protection switch 60 situation of breaking off, driving voltage Vx becomes the magnitude of voltage after constant voltage Vreg has deducted the forward voltage drop Vf of diode 30.To this, will combine accompanying drawing to be elaborated in the back.
Control circuit 40 is accepted the input of constant voltage Vreg and is moved afterwards; According to the feedback voltage Vfb that the is input to feedback terminal FB mode consistent, carry out the conduction and cut-off control of transistor N1 and N2 via last side driver 10 and following side driver 20 with the desired value of regulation.
Excess voltage protection 50 is kept watch on the voltage between terminals Vy that is applied between bootstrapping terminal BST and the switch terminal SW (=Vbst-Vsw is equivalent to the charging voltage of capacitor C2), generation excess voltage detection signal S1.In addition, excess voltage detection signal S1 is used as the conduction and cut-off control signal of over-voltage protection switch 60.
Over-voltage protection switch 60 is connected between the negative electrode of bootstrapping terminal BST and diode 30, according to excess voltage detection signal S1, makes conducting/blocking-up between bootstrapping terminal BST and the internal circuit (driving voltage of going up side driver 10 applies end).In addition; As over-voltage protection switch 60, even also can not produce the high withstand voltage element (the for example withstand voltage P channel-type MOS field-effect transistor of 30V) of damage as long as use produces 2 times the potential difference (for example 24V) that is equivalent to input voltage vin between bootstrapping terminal BST and switch terminal SW.
Below, at first, specify the bootstrapping action of the switching regulaor that constitutes by said structure.In addition, the overvoltage protection action that the prerequisite of explanation is stated after being does not start, and over-voltage protection switch 60 is connected.
Transistor N1 by and the switching voltage Vsw that on switch terminal SW, occurs when becoming low level (0V); Because in the path of constant voltage terminal REG via diode 30 and capacitor C2, flowing through electric current, the capacitor C2 that therefore is connected between bootstrapping terminal BST and the switch terminal SW is recharged.At this moment, the booster voltage Vbst (that is the charging voltage of capacitor C2) that on bootstrapping terminal BST, occurs be from constant voltage Vreg deduct the forward voltage drop Vf of diode 30 magnitude of voltage (=Vreg-Vf).
On the other hand; Under the state that capacitor C2 is recharged; If transistor N1 conducting; Switching voltage Vsw rises to high level (Vin) from low level (0V), and then booster voltage Vbst rises to that high level (Vin) than switching voltage Vsw is taller to go out the amount corresponding with the charging voltage of capacitor C2 (=Vreg-Vf) magnitude of voltage (=Vin+ (Vreg-Vf)).Therefore, through this booster voltage Vbst is provided as the driving voltage Vx of last side driver 10, thereby the conduction and cut-off that can carry out transistor N1 drives.
Then, specify the action of excess voltage protection 50 with reference to Fig. 2.Fig. 2 is the sequential chart that is used to explain the overvoltage protection action.In addition, described each voltage waveform of switching voltage Vsw, booster voltage Vbst and driving voltage Vx, described the conduction and cut-off state of over-voltage protection switch 60 at the hypomere of Fig. 2 at the epimere of Fig. 2.
Be applied under the situation that voltage between terminals Vy between bootstrapping terminal BST and the switch terminal SW is a near normal value (Vreg-Vf with and value), excess voltage protection 50 is made as logic level (for example low level) just often with excess voltage detection signal S1.When excess voltage detection signal S1 was set as logic level just often, over-voltage protection switch 60 was in on-state.Therefore, it is consistent with booster voltage Vbst that the driving voltage that offers side driver 10 applies the driving voltage Vx of end.
On the other hand; For example; On bootstrapping terminal BST, produce the high potential short circuit short circuit that applies end of input voltage vin (for example to) and the voltage between terminals Vy that is applied between bootstrapping terminal BST and the switch terminal SW is under the situation of overvoltage condition, excess voltage protection 50 switches to the logic level (for example high level) when unusual with excess voltage detection signal S1 from just often logic level (for example low level).When excess voltage detection signal S1 was set as the logic level when unusual, over-voltage protection switch 60 was in off-state.Therefore, the driving voltage Vx that the driving voltage that offers side driver 10 applies end does not rely on booster voltage Vbst, but is fixed on the magnitude of voltage after constant voltage Vreg has deducted the forward voltage drop Vf of diode 30.
Thus; Supply path from bootstrapping terminal BST to internal circuit (going up side driver 10) connects over-voltage protection switch 60; And when being applied to voltage between terminals Vy between bootstrapping terminal BST and the switch terminal SW and being in overvoltage condition; If the structure that over-voltage protection switch 60 is broken off; Then need not improve the component pressure of internal circuit (going up side driver 10), therefore can dwindle the occupied area of internal circuit (going up side driver 10), can realize that the miniaturization of Switching Power Supply IC1 or cost reduce.
In addition, owing to apply 2 times the potential difference (for example 24V) that is equivalent to input voltage vin, therefore need to use the big high withstand voltage element of component size as over-voltage protection switch 60 to over-voltage protection switch 60.But, since need not with internal circuit (go up side driver 10) be designed to high withstand voltage also can, therefore whole as Switching Power Supply IC1, can contribute to dwindling of chip size.
< the 2nd execution mode >
Fig. 3 is the circuit diagram that is used to explain the problem of the 1st execution mode.The structure of the 1st execution mode of explanation is very effective aspect the protection internal circuit (last side driver 10) when being applied to voltage between terminals Vy between bootstrapping terminal BST and the switch terminal SW and becoming overvoltage condition before.
But; In the structure of the 1st execution mode; When being applied to voltage between terminals Vz between upside lead-out terminal HO and the switch terminal SW and becoming overvoltage condition; Because driving voltage Vx rises via the body diode BD that forms the transistor 12P that goes up side driver 10, therefore transistor 11P, 11N, 12P, the 12N of side driver 10 is made as under the situation of low withstand voltage element (LV element) on will forming, and might destroy them.
Thus; The structure of the 1st execution mode is not provided with under the situation (being built-in with the situation of transistor N1) of upside lead-out terminal HO effective especially in Switching Power Supply IC1; In Switching Power Supply IC1, be provided with under the situation (situation of transistor N1 in addition) of upside lead-out terminal HO, also exist and further improve leeway.
Fig. 4 is the circuit diagram of the 2nd execution mode of expression switching regulaor, has particularly described the internal structure of last side driver 10.
In the switching regulaor of the 2nd execution mode, last side driver 10 comprises: the 1st inverter (inverter) 11, and it makes from after the input signal of control circuit 40 (upside drive signal) logic inversion and exports; With the 2nd inverter 12, it makes the output signal (counter-rotating upside drive signal) of the 1st inverter 11 further export to upside lead-out terminal HO after the logic inversion.In addition; The 1st inverter 11 is equivalent to the front stage circuits of implementing from the input signal of control circuit 40 to export after the predetermined process, and the 2nd inverter 12 is equivalent to the output signal of front stage circuits is implemented the late-class circuit that predetermined process is exported to upside lead-out terminal HO afterwards.
The 1st inverter 11 comprises P channel-type MOS field-effect transistor 11P and N channel-type MOS field-effect transistor 11N.The source electrode of transistor 11P and back grid all are connected via over-voltage protection switch 61 on the bootstrapping terminal BST.The drain electrode of transistor 11P is connected in the drain electrode of transistor 11N.The source electrode of transistor 11N and back grid all are connected on the switch terminal SW.The grid of transistor 11P and 11N all is connected on the signal output part of control circuit 40 (not shown).
The 2nd inverter 12 comprises P channel-type MOS field-effect transistor 12P and N channel-type MOS field-effect transistor 12N.The source electrode of transistor 12P and back grid be via over-voltage protection switch 61, but directly be connected on the bootstrapping terminal BST.The drain electrode of transistor 12P and 12N all is connected on the upside lead-out terminal HO.The source electrode of transistor 12N and back grid all are connected on the switch terminal SW.The grid of transistor 12P and 12N all is connected on the signal output part (connected node between the drain electrode of the drain electrode of transistor 11P and transistor 11N) of the 1st inverter 11.
As stated; In the switching regulaor of the 2nd execution mode, over-voltage protection switch 61 is set on the position in the open close drive voltage supply path to the 1st inverter 11 (front stage circuits) of the situation incision that when it breaks off, makes the drive voltage supply path conducting of leading to the 2nd inverter 12 (late-class circuit).
In addition, the 2nd inverter 12 is designed to be and has than higher withstand voltage of the 1st inverter 11.More specifically, the transistor 11P and the 11N that form the 1st inverter 11 are configured to low withstand voltage element (LV element), and the transistor 12P and the 12N that form the 2nd inverter 12 are configured to high withstand voltage element (HV element).
In the switching regulaor that constitutes by said structure; Be applied under the situation that voltage between terminals Vy between bootstrapping terminal BST and the switch terminal SW is a near normal value (Vreg-Vf with and value), excess voltage protection 50 is arranged to logic level (for example low level) just often with excess voltage detection signal S1.When excess voltage detection signal S1 was configured to logic level just often, over-voltage protection switch 61 was in off-state.Therefore, to the 1st inverter 11 and the 2nd inverter 12 booster voltage Vbst is provided all.
On the other hand; For example; In bootstrapping terminal BST, produce the high potential short circuit short circuit that applies end of input voltage vin (for example to) and the voltage between terminals Vy that is applied between bootstrapping terminal BST and the switch terminal SW becomes under the situation of overvoltage condition, excess voltage protection 50 switches to the logic level (for example high level) when unusual with excess voltage detection signal S1 from just often logic level (for example low level).When excess voltage detection signal S1 is configured to the logic level when unusual; Because over-voltage protection switch 61 is in off-state; Therefore the feed path that is directed against the booster voltage Vbst of the 1st inverter 11 is cut off, and protection forms the transistor 11P and the 11N (all being low withstand voltage element (LV element)) of the 1st inverter 11 under overvoltage condition.On the other hand, all be configured to high withstand voltage element (HV element) owing to form transistor 12P and the 12N of the 2nd inverter 12, even so voltage between terminals Vy become overvoltage condition and also can not be damaged.
In addition; Voltage between terminals Vz being applied between upside lead-out terminal HO and the switch terminal SW becomes under the situation of overvoltage condition; Because booster voltage Vbst is abnormal ascending via the body diode BD that forms the transistor 12P that goes up side driver 10, the voltage between terminals Vy that therefore is applied between bootstrapping terminal BST and the switch terminal SW also becomes overvoltage condition.Its result is activated with identical before overvoltage protection action, and protection forms the transistor 11P and the 11N (all being low withstand voltage element (LV element)) of the 1st inverter 11 under overvoltage condition.
Thus; If the final output stage that will go up side driver 10 as the withstand voltage element of height (HV element) and within it side disposed the structure of over-voltage protection switch 61; Then can the area increase of monopolizing of going up side driver 10 be suppressed to Min.; Even and when being applied to voltage between terminals Vz between upside lead-out terminal HO and the switch terminal SW and becoming overvoltage condition, also can suitably protect side driver 10.
< the 3rd execution mode >
The structure of the 2nd execution mode of explanation not only becomes under the situation of overvoltage condition at the voltage between terminals Vy that is applied between bootstrapping terminal BST and the switch terminal SW before; Side driver 10 in the due care very effectively; And become under the situation of overvoltage condition also side driver 10 in the due care very effectively at the voltage between terminals Vz that is applied between upside lead-out terminal HO and the switch terminal SW.

Downside inverter 11L comprises P channel-type MOS field-effect transistor 11LP and N channel-type MOS field-effect transistor 11LN.The source electrode of transistor 11LP and back grid all are connected via over-voltage protection switch 61 on the bootstrapping terminal BST.The drain electrode of transistor 11LP is connected in the drain electrode of transistor 11LN.The source electrode of transistor 11LN and back grid all are connected on the switch terminal SW.The grid of transistor 11LP and 11LN all is connected on the signal output part of control circuit 40 (not shown).In addition, the transistor 11LP of formation downside inverter 11L and 11LN are set as low withstand voltage element (LV element).
On the other hand, the 2nd inverter 12 comprises P channel-type MOS field-effect transistor 12P and N channel-type MOS field-effect transistor 12N.The source electrode of transistor 12P and back grid all do not have via over-voltage protection switch 61, but directly are connected on the bootstrapping terminal BST.The drain electrode of transistor 12P and 12N all is connected on the upside lead-out terminal HO.The source electrode of transistor 12N and back grid all are connected on the switch terminal SW.The grid of transistor 12P is connected on the signal output part (connected node between the drain electrode of the negative electrode of diode 11UD and transistor 11UN) of upside inverter 11U.The grid of transistor 12N is connected on the signal output part (connected node between the drain electrode of the drain electrode of transistor 11LP and transistor 11LN) of downside inverter 11L.In addition, as previously mentioned, the transistor 12P and the 12N that form the 2nd inverter 12 are set as high withstand voltage element (HV element).
