Description

Drive overcurrent detection circuit
Technical Field
The utility model relates to a circuit field especially relates to a drive detection circuitry that overflows.
Background
When driving devices such as the driving tube and the like work, because the resistance of the driving tube is small, the current flowing on the driving tube is determined by the load coupled with the driving tube. When the load is small, even when the load is short-circuited, the current flowing through the driving tube is large, and the driving tube is in an overcurrent condition. When the drive tube is subjected to an overcurrent condition, the drive tube or load can be severely damaged. Therefore, the output current of the driving tube needs to be limited to avoid the above situation.
In the prior art, in order to determine whether the overcurrent condition of the driving tube occurs, one scheme is to connect a resistor in series between the driving tube and the ground. Because the current flowing through the driving tube flows through the resistor, whether the driving tube has overcurrent or not can be judged through the voltage drop of the resistor. However, the smaller the output impedance of the driving tube is, the better, otherwise, most of the power is consumed in the driving tube itself rather than the load, and the driving purpose is not achieved. After the resistor is connected in series between the driving tube and the ground, the equivalent output impedance of the driving tube is increased, and the performance of the driving tube is influenced. The other scheme for judging whether the driving tube is overcurrent is to directly measure the voltage drop on the driving tube so as to judge whether the driving tube is overcurrent. However, due to temperature, process, and other deviations, the voltage drop across the drive tube and the current flowing through the drive tube may not exactly correspond to the solution.
The existing scheme for avoiding the overcurrent of the driving tube can not accurately judge whether the driving tube is in overcurrent or not under the condition of not influencing the driving performance.

Referring to fig. 1, an embodiment of the present invention provides a drive overcurrent detection circuit, in which the driving transistor is a PMOS transistor MPD, and the MOS transistor is a first PMOS transistor MP 1.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the reference current source 11 is suitable for outputting a constant current IR
In a specific implementation, the driving transistor MPD and the first PMOS transistor MP1 are disposed adjacent to each other on the same chip, so that the influence of process, temperature, and power voltage deviations on the first PMOS transistor MP1 and the driving transistor MPD can be ensured to be the same.
In a specific implementation, the width-to-length ratio of the driving tube MPD is different from that of the first PMOS tube MP1, and the width-to-length ratio of the driving tube MPD is greater than that of the first PMOS tube MP 1. In the embodiment of the present invention, the width-to-length ratio of the driving tube MPD is M times of the width-to-length ratio of the first PMOS tube MP1, where M > 1.
In a specific application, the width-to-length ratio of the driving transistor MPD may exceed that of the first PMOS transistor MP1 by several orders of magnitude. In other words, the width-to-length ratio of the driving transistor MPD may be tens of times or more than the width-to-length ratio of the first PMOS transistor MP 1. In an embodiment of the present invention, the width-to-length ratio of the driving tube MPD is 5000 times the width-to-length ratio of the first PMOS transistor MP 1.
In an implementation, the gate of the driving transistor MPD may be coupled to the gate of the first PMOS transistor MP1, and the control signal is input to the gate of the driving transistor MPD and the gate of the first PMOS transistor MP 1. The control signal can control the drive tube MPD to be turned off or on, and the first PMOS tube MP1 to be turned off or on.
Since the driving tube MPD and the first PMOS tube MP1 are PMOS tubes of the same type, when the driving tube MPD is turned off by the control signal, the first PMOS tube MP1 is also turned off; on the contrary, when the driving transistor MPD is turned on by the control signal, the first PMOS transistor MP1 is also turned on.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the control signal may be VG. When the control signal VG is a low level signal, the driving transistor MPD and the first PMOS transistor MP1 are both in a conducting state under the action of the control signal VG.
In a specific implementation, the first current mirror circuit may include a second NMOS transistor MN2 and a third NMOS transistor MN 3.
The gate of the second NMOS transistor MN2 is coupled to the drain of the second NMOS transistor MN2, that is, the gate of the second NMOS transistor MN2 is coupled to the drain thereof; the drain of the second NMOS transistor MN2 is the current input terminal of the first current mirror circuit, and is coupled to the source of the first NMOS transistor MN 1; the source of the second NMOS transistor MN2 is coupled to ground.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the width-to-length ratio of the second NMOS transistor MN2 is N times the width-to-length ratio of the third NMOS transistor MN3, where N > 1.
In a specific implementation, the output current of the reference current source 11 may be set in advance. The setting of the output current of the reference current source 11 may be associated with three of: critical current value I of MPD overcurrent of driving tubemaxThe ratio M of the width-to-length ratio of the MPD of the driving tube to the width-to-length ratio of the MP1 of the first PMOS tube, and the ratio N of the width-to-length ratio of the MN2 of the second NMOS tube to the width-to-length ratio of the MN3 of the third NMOS tube.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the output current of the reference current source 11 is set as: i ismax/(M.times.N). When the output current of the current output end of the first current mirror circuit is greater than the output current of the reference current source 11, the overcurrent condition of the driving tube MPD can be judged; and otherwise, judging that the MPD of the driving tube has no overcurrent condition.
The working principle of the driving overcurrent detection circuit provided in the above embodiment of the present invention is explained below.
It can be known from the above embodiments of the present invention that the driving tube MPD and the first PMOS tube MP1 are PMOS tubes of the same type, and the production processes of the driving tube MPD and the first PMOS tube MP1 are the same, so that the deviation of the power voltage and the temperature has the same effect on the driving tube MPD and the first PMOS tube MP 1. When the gate of the driving transistor MPD and the gate of the first PMOS transistor MP1 both input the control signal VG, the driving transistor MPD and the first PMOS transistor MP1 are both turned on. Through the width-to-length ratio of the driving tube MPD and the width-to-length ratio of the first PMOS tube MP1, the ratio between the resistance value of the driving tube MPD and the resistance value of the first PMOS tube MP1 can be determined.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the width-to-length ratio of the driving tube MPD is M times of the width-to-length ratio of the first PMOS transistor MP1, and therefore, the resistance R of the driving tube MPDMPDAnd the resistance value R of the first PMOS transistor MP1MP1The ratio between is 1/M, that is: rMPD/RMP1=1/M。
When the current flowing through the MPD of the driving tube is ILFrom ohm's law, the output voltage of the driving tube MPD is:
VOUT=VCC-IL×RMPD; (1)
therefore, the voltage at the first input terminal of the error amplifying circuit A1 is VCC-IL×RMPD
At this time, the input voltage of the second input terminal of the error amplifier circuit a1 is:
V1=VOUT=VCC-IL×RMPD=VCC-I1×RMP1; (2)
wherein, I1The output current of the drain of the first PMOS transistor MP 1.
From the above equation (1) and the above equation (2), it can be known that: i isL×RMPD=I1×RMP1
Due to RMPD/RMP11/M, so that: i is1/IL=1/M。
I1The current is input to the current input terminal of the first current mirror circuit, that is: the drain of the second NMOS transistor MN2 has a current of I1. According to the mirror image relationship between the second NMOS transistor MN2 and the third NMOS transistor MN3, since the width-to-length ratio of the second NMOS transistor MN2 is N times the width-to-length ratio of the third NMOS transistor MN3, the current of the drain of the third NMOS transistor MN3 is I1/N。
When the overcurrent detection circuit is driven without the flip-flop 12, if the current of the drain of the third NMOS transistor MN3 is greater than the output current I of the reference current source 11RI.e. when I1/N>IRAnd then, the output result of the judgment result output end OC of the driving over-current detection circuit is a logic high level. At this time, the MPD of the driving tube is judged to have an overcurrent condition.
On the contrary, if the current of the drain of the third NMOS transistor MN3 is smaller than the output current of the reference current source 11, the output result of the determination result output terminal OC of the driving overcurrent detection circuit is a logic low level, and at this time, it is determined that the driving transistor MPD has no overcurrent condition.
In a specific implementation, since the output impedance of the current source is high, if the current output by the reference current source 11 is larger than the current output by the drain of the third NMOS transistor MN3, the current flows from the reference current source 11 to the ground in the loop formed by the reference current source 11 and the third NMOS transistor MN 3. After the current passes through the current mirror impedance, the drain of the third NMOS transistor MN3 is raised to the power supply voltage VCC. At this time, the output terminal OC outputs a logic low level.
On the contrary, if the current outputted by the reference current source 11 is smaller than the current outputted by the drain of the third NMOS transistor MN3, the drain of the third NMOS transistor MN3 is pulled down to ground. At this time, the output terminal OC outputs a logic high level.
In a specific implementation, a current flowing through the driving tube MPD may have a glitch, which causes an error in a determination result output by the determination result output terminal OC of the final current detection circuit. Therefore, for avoiding the influence of the burr of the electric current on the drive tube MPD to the judgement result, in the embodiment of the present invention, the trigger 12 can also be set between the current output end of the first current mirror circuit and the judgement result output end OC. Since the trigger 12 needs a certain threshold and delay for triggering, the influence of the glitch of the current on the drive tube MPD on the determination result can be effectively avoided.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the trigger 12 may be a schmitt trigger.
In the embodiment of the present invention, when the flip-flop 12 is provided between the current output end of the first current mirror circuit and the determination result output end OC, the level of the output signal of the flip-flop 12 is opposite to the level of the determination result output end OC output signal. When the level of the output signal of the output terminal OC is a logic low level, the level of the output signal of the flip-flop 12 is a logic high level; when the level of the output signal of the output terminal OC is a logic high level, the level of the output signal of the flip-flop 12 is a logic low level.
Therefore, when the trigger 12 is added, when the level of the output signal of the judgment result output end OC is a logic high level, the condition that the drive tube MPD has overcurrent is judged; and when the level of the output signal of the judgment result output end OC is a logic low level, judging that the MPD of the driving tube has no overcurrent.
In a specific implementation, the reference current source 11 is a current source with an adjustable output current, that is, the output current of the reference current source 11 is adjustable in magnitude. Since the output current of the reference current source 11 is related to M, N, the value of M, N can be more flexible when the output current of the reference current source 11 is adjustable.
In a specific implementation, the error amplifying circuit a1 may further include a bias current input terminal, and the driving overcurrent detecting circuit may further include a first bias current source 13 (as shown in fig. 2), where:

The setting of the output current of the reference current source 11 may be associated with three of: critical current value I of MND overcurrent of driving tubemaxThe ratio M of the width-length ratio of the driving tube MND to the width-length ratio of the seventh NMOS tube MN7, and the ratio N of the width-length ratio of the fifth PMOS tube MP5 to the width-length ratio of the sixth PMOS tube MP 6.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the output current of the reference current source 11 is set as: i ismax/(M.times.N). When the output current of the current output end of the first current mirror circuit is greater than the output current of the reference current source 11, it can be determined that the driving tube MND has an overcurrent condition; otherwise, the MND is judged to have no overcurrent condition.
The working principle of the driving overcurrent detection circuit provided in the above embodiment of the present invention is explained below.
From the above embodiments of the present invention, the driving tube MND and the seventh NMOS transistor MN7 are the same type NMOS transistor, and the production processes of the two NMOS transistors are the same, so the deviation of the power voltage and the temperature has the same influence on the driving tube MND and the seventh NMOS transistor MN 7. When the gate of the driving transistor MND and the gate of the seventh NMOS transistor MN7 both input the high level signal VG, the driving transistor MND and the seventh NMOS transistor MN7 are both turned on. Through the width-length ratio of the driving tube MND and the width-length ratio of the seventh NMOS tube MN7, the ratio between the resistance value of the driving tube MND and the resistance value of the seventh NMOS tube MN7 can be determined.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the width-length ratio of the driving tube MND is M times of the width-length ratio of the seventh NMOS transistor MN7, and therefore, the resistance R of the driving tube MNDMNDResistance value R of the seventh NMOS transistor MN7MN7The ratio between is 1/M, that is: rMND/RMN7=1/M。
When the current flowing through the drive tube MND is ILIn time, the output voltage of the driving tube MND is known from ohm's law as follows:
VOUT=VCC-IL×RMND; (4)
therefore, the voltage of the first input end of the error amplifying circuit is VCC-IL×RMND
At this time, the input voltage of the second input terminal of the error amplifying circuit is:
V1=VOUT=VCC-IL×RMND=VCC-I1×RMN7; (5)
wherein, I1Is the output current of the drain electrode of the seventh NMOS transistor MN 7.
From the above equation (4) and the above equation (5), it can be known that: i isL×RMND=I1×RMN7
Due to RMND/RMN71/M, so that: i is1/IL=1/M。
I1The current is input to the current input terminal of the first current mirror circuit, that is: the drain of the fifth PMOS transistor MP5 has a current of I1. According to the mirror relationship between the fifth PMOS transistor MP5 and the sixth PMOS transistor MP6, since the width-to-length ratio of the fifth PMOS transistor MP5 is N times the width-to-length ratio of the sixth PMOS transistor MP6, the current at the drain of the sixth PMOS transistor MP6 is I1/N。
When the current of the drain of the sixth PMOS transistor MP6 is larger than the output current I of the reference current source 11RWhen, i.e. when I1/N>IRAnd when the current is detected, the judgment result output end OC of the driving overcurrent detection circuit outputs a logic high level. At this time, it is determined that the overcurrent condition occurs in the drive pipe MND.
On the contrary, when the current of the drain of the sixth PMOS transistor MP6 is smaller than the output current of the reference current source 11, the output result of the determination result output terminal OC of the driving overcurrent detection circuit is a logic low level, and at this time, it is determined that the driving transistor MND has no overcurrent condition.
In a specific implementation, a current flowing through the driving tube MND may have a glitch, which causes an error in the determination result output by the determination result output terminal OC of the final current detection circuit. Therefore, for avoiding the influence of the burr of the electric current on the driving tube MND to the judgment result, in the embodiment of the present invention, the trigger 12 can be further provided between the current output end of the first current mirror circuit and the judgment result output end OC. Since a certain threshold and hysteresis are required for triggering the trigger 12, the influence of the glitch of the current on the driving tube MND on the judgment result can be effectively avoided.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the trigger 12 may be a schmitt trigger.
In the embodiment of the present invention, when the flip-flop 12 is provided between the current output end of the first current mirror circuit and the determination result output end OC, the level of the output signal of the flip-flop 12 is opposite to the level of the determination result output end OC output signal. When the level of the output signal of the output terminal OC is a logic low level, the level of the output signal of the flip-flop 12 is a logic high level; when the level of the output signal of the output terminal OC is a logic high level, the level of the output signal of the flip-flop 12 is a logic low level.
Therefore, when the trigger 12 is added, when the level of the output signal of the judgment result output end OC is a logic low level, the condition that the driving tube MND has overcurrent is judged; and when the level of the output signal of the judgment result output end OC is a logic high level, judging that the MND has no overcurrent condition.
In a specific implementation, the reference current source 11 is a current source with an adjustable output current, that is, the output current of the reference current source 11 is adjustable in magnitude. Since the output current of the reference current source 11 is related to M, N, the value of M, N can be more flexible when the output current of the reference current source 11 is adjustable.
