Detailed Description

The present invention can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and various details in the present specification can be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
Please refer to fig. 1 to 6. It should be noted that the drawings provided in the present embodiment are only for illustrating the basic idea of the invention in a schematic manner, and only the components related to the invention are shown in the drawings rather than being drawn according to the number, shape and size of the components in actual implementation, and the form, quantity and proportion of the components in actual implementation may be changed at will, and the layout of the components may be more complicated.
Example one
As shown in fig. 1, the present embodiment provides a low dropout regulator 1, an output terminal of which is connected in parallel with a first capacitor C1, wherein the low dropout regulator 1 includes:
power switch M1, feedback unit 11, and error amplifier 12.
As shown in fig. 1, a first end of the power switch M1 is connected to a power supply voltage VDD, a second end is grounded via the feedback unit 11, a control end is connected to the output end of the error amplifier 12, and a connection node between the power switch M1 and the feedback unit 11 outputs a power supply VLDO; the power switch tube M1 is used for adjusting the current flowing through the power switch tube M1.
Specifically, in this embodiment, the source of the power switch M1 is connected to the power supply voltage VDD, the drain is connected to the feedback unit 11, and the gate is connected to the output terminal of the error amplifier 12. In practical use, the types of the devices of the power switch tube are not limited, and include but not limited to an insulated gate bipolar transistor and a metal-oxide semiconductor field effect transistor, and any device capable of adjusting the current flowing through the power switch tube based on the output signal of the error amplifier 12 is suitable for use, which is not described herein again.
Specifically, as another implementation manner of the present invention, the low dropout regulator 1 further includes a second switch SW2, one end of the second switch SW2 is connected to the power supply voltage VDD, and the other end is connected to the control end of the power switch tube M1; the second switch SW2 receives the enable signal EN _ LDO. When the enable signal EN _ LDO is effective, starting the low dropout linear regulator 1 to work; when the enable signal EN _ LDO is not active, the LDO1 stops working. As an example, the second switch SW2 is implemented by using an NMOS, and in actual use, a corresponding switch type may be selected according to needs, which is not described herein.
As shown in fig. 1, the error amplifier 12 receives the feedback voltage VFB and a reference voltage VBG output by the feedback unit 11, amplifies a difference between the feedback voltage VFB and the reference voltage VBG, and outputs the amplified difference to the control terminal of the power switch M1.
Specifically, as an example, the non-inverting input terminal of the error amplifier 12 is connected to the feedback voltage VFB, and the inverting input terminal is connected to the reference voltage VBG; in practical use, the correspondence between the polarity of the input terminal of the error amplifier 12 and the input signal may be set according to actual needs, so as to ensure that the feedback voltage VFB is negative feedback.
Specifically, in the present embodiment, the reference voltage VBG is a voltage generated by a Band Gap reference circuit (Band Gap) inside the chip. As an example, the reference voltage VBG is 1.2V; the value of the reference voltage VBG can be set as desired in practical use.
As shown in fig. 1, one end of the feedback unit 11 is connected to the second end of the power switch M1, and the other end is grounded; the feedback unit 11 feeds back the voltage sample at the second end of the power switch M1 to the error amplifier 12 when the ldo linear regulator 1 is operating, and reduces the charge loss on the first capacitor C1 when the ldo linear regulator 1 stops operating.
Specifically, in this embodiment, the feedback unit 11 includes a first resistor R1, a second resistor R2, a third resistor R3, and a first switch SW1, wherein the first resistor R1, the second resistor R2, and the third resistor R3 are sequentially connected in series to the second end of the power switch M1, the first switch SW1 is connected in parallel to two ends of the third resistor R3, and the first switch SW1 receives a control signal CTL 0; the feedback voltage VFB is output between the first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2. As an example, the second resistor R2 is an adjustable resistor, and different values of the power supply voltage can be obtained by adjusting the resistance of the second resistor R2, so as to meet different power supply voltage requirements, and expand the application range of the low dropout regulator 1. As an example, the first switch SW1 is implemented by using an NMOS, and in actual use, a corresponding switch type may be selected according to needs, which is not described herein.
Specifically, when the low dropout linear regulator 1 stops operating, the charge in the first capacitor C1 is discharged to the ground through the feedback unit 11; the third resistor R3 is used to be connected in series with the first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2 when the low dropout regulator 1 stops working, so as to increase the resistance of the leakage path where the feedback unit 11 is located, and further reduce the leakage current. The higher the resistance of the third resistor R3 is, the lower the bleed current is, and therefore, the larger the resistance of the third resistor R3 is, the better theoretically is. In this embodiment, the resistance of the third resistor R3 is greater than the sum of the resistances of the first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2; as an example, in order to greatly reduce power consumption, the third resistor R3 has a resistance value greater than 10 megaohms (ohm); as another example, the third resistor R3 may be set to have a resistance value of 2 megohms to 10 megohms (inclusive) for the purpose of cost and power consumption reduction.
It should be noted that the third resistor R3 does not need to be matched with the first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2, and the process types of the resistors do not need to be consistent, so that the third resistor R3 with a resistance value of tens of mega ohms or even larger can be realized at a low area cost. In practical use, the resistance of the third resistor R3 can be set as required, so as to reduce the leakage current and meet the requirements of power consumption and time duration, which is not limited in this embodiment.
Specifically, as another implementation manner of the present invention, the feedback unit 11 further includes a third capacitor C3, and the third capacitor C3 is connected in parallel to two ends of the first resistor R1. The third capacitor C3, the first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2 form a zero pole, which can achieve the function of a stable circuit.
As shown in fig. 2, the operation principle of the low dropout regulator 1 of the present embodiment is as follows:
11) turning on the first switch SW1 and starting the low dropout regulator 1, the first capacitor C1 is charged to a preset voltage and stabilized at the preset voltage.
Specifically, in the present embodiment, the first switch SW1 is first turned on based on the control signal CTL0, so that the third resistor R3 is short-circuited; the second switch SW2 is turned off based on an enable signal EN _ LDO (high level), so that the low dropout linear regulator 1 starts to start operating. As shown in fig. 2, the low dropout regulator 1 charges the first capacitor C1 (from 0V to a predetermined voltage at the first start-up; from the voltage remaining on the first capacitor C1 to a predetermined voltage at the intermediate start-up) and stabilizes at the predetermined voltage. The voltage VLDO on the first capacitor C1 is determined by the first resistor R1, the second resistor R2 and the reference voltage VBG, and a predetermined voltage satisfies the relationship: VLDO ═ VBG (R1+ R2)/R2, where VBG is the value of the reference voltage, R1 is the resistance value of the first resistor, and R2 is the resistance value of the second resistor.
It should be noted that, in this embodiment, step 11) corresponds to a first start, and at this time, the first capacitor C1 is charged from 0V to a preset voltage; in practical applications, step 11) may also correspond to an intermediate starting process, where the first capacitor C1 is charged from the voltage retained at C1 to a preset voltage; the present embodiment is not limited thereto.
12) When the power supply is over, the low dropout linear regulator 1 stops working, the first switch SW1 is opened, and the first capacitor C1 discharges to the ground through the feedback unit 11.
Specifically, after the power supply is completed, the enable signal EN _ LDO jumps to a low level, the second switch SW2 is turned on, so that the gate of the power switch M1 is at a high level, and the low dropout linear regulator 1 stops working; the first switch SW1 is turned off based on a control signal CTL0, so that the third resistor R3 is switched into a path of the first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2. The charge on the first capacitor C1 is discharged to ground through the first resistor R1, the second resistor R2 and the third resistor R3; due to the addition of the third resistor R3, the resistance of the bleeding path where the feedback unit 11 is located is increased, so as to reduce the bleeding current, where the bleeding current is only VLDO/(R1+ R2+ R3) at maximum, where R3 is the resistance of the third resistor; when the third resistor R3 is much larger (at least one order of magnitude larger) than the sum of the resistances of the first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2, the leakage current can be made small, so that the voltage of the first capacitor C1 is slowly reduced in proportion to the magnitude of the leakage current, as shown in fig. 2, thereby completing a power supply process.
13) Turning on the first switch SW1 and starting the low dropout regulator 1, charging the first capacitor C1, and complementing the charge discharged from the first capacitor C1 through the feedback unit 11, so that the voltage across the first capacitor C1 is stabilized at the preset voltage.
Specifically, when the next power supply is performed, the operation method is the same as that in step 11), since part of the charge on the first capacitor C1 is lost, the voltage VLDO on the first capacitor C1 is lower than the preset voltage, and the low dropout linear regulator 1 needs to recharge the first capacitor C1 to the preset voltage to compensate for the charge drained by the first capacitor C1 through the feedback unit 11. Because the leakage current is small, when the low dropout linear regulator 1 restarts, a large amount of charge is still stored in the first capacitor C1, and therefore, the extra charge amount that the power supply voltage VDD supplements to the first capacitor C1 through the power switch tube M1 is small, which can effectively reduce the power consumption and time consumption of the low dropout linear regulator 1 during starting.
It should be noted that, if the next start is needed, step 12) and step 13) may be continuously and repeatedly executed to reduce power consumption and time duration of each start, which is not described herein again. If the next starting is not needed, the operation can be directly ended, and the power is cut off (VDD is low level); the specific operation is set by actual requirements, and is not limited to the embodiment.
It should be noted that, as an example, after the first switch SW1 is turned on, the low dropout regulator 1 starts to operate after a preset time, so as to ensure the stability of the circuit operation.
As shown in fig. 2, VLDO is the voltage on the first capacitor C1, and I _ Power is the Power consumption curve of this embodiment; Δ V is a voltage variation of the first capacitor C1, I _ MAX1a is a transient power consumption at the first start, I _ MAX2a is a transient power consumption at the second or later start, and I _ STA1a is an intrinsic power consumption when the ldo is not connected to a load for operation. As can be seen, I _ MAX2a is significantly smaller than I _ MAX1a, which can effectively reduce power consumption during startup, and the startup duration is also greatly shortened.
Example two
As shown in fig. 3, the present embodiment provides a low dropout regulator 1, which is different from the first embodiment in that in the present embodiment, the feedback unit 11 includes a first resistor R1, a second resistor R2, a second capacitor C2 and a first switch SW 1.
Specifically, the first resistor R1, the second resistor R2 and the second capacitor C2 are sequentially connected in series to a second end of the power switch M1, the first switch SW1 is connected in parallel to two ends of the second capacitor C2, and the first switch SW1 receives a control signal CTL 0; the feedback voltage VFB is output between the first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2.
Specifically, the upper plate of the second capacitor C2 is connected to the second resistor R2, and the lower plate is grounded. When the LDO1 stops working, the first capacitor C1 and the second capacitor C2 are charge-shared; the charges discharged by the first capacitor C1 are stored in the second capacitor C2, that is, Q is VLDO1 × C1 ═ VLDO2 ═ C1+ C2, VLDO2 ═ VLDO1 × C1/(C1+ C2), where Q is the total charge amount, VLDO1 is the output voltage value when the low dropout linear regulator 1 is operating normally, C1 is the capacitance value of the first capacitor, VLDO2 is the output voltage value after the low dropout linear regulator 1 stops operating, and C2 is the capacitance value of the second capacitor; therefore, the smaller the capacity of the second capacitor is, the less the charge discharged by the first capacitor C1 is, the VLDO2 is approximately close to the VLDO1, and the next time the low dropout linear regulator 1 starts to operate, the first capacitor C1 is hardly required to be supplemented with additional charge, so that the power consumption and the time length during starting are saved. Therefore, theoretically, the smaller the capacitance of the second capacitor, the better, in this embodiment, the capacitance of the second capacitor C2 is such that the voltage variation on the first capacitor C1 is smaller than the set value when the low dropout linear regulator 1 stops operating (i.e. the voltage on the first capacitor C1 is considered to be stable within the set value range). The second capacitor C2 is small, and occupies a small area.
It should be noted that the capacity of the second capacitor C2 may be set as needed, and the requirements of storing the electric charge released by the first capacitor and meeting the power consumption and time duration overhead requirements may be met, which is not limited to the embodiment.
The connection relationship and the operation principle of other devices are the same as those in the first embodiment, and are not described in detail here.
As shown in fig. 4, the operation principle of the low dropout regulator 1 of the present embodiment is as follows:
21) the first switch SW1 is turned on and the low dropout regulator 1 is turned on, so that the first capacitor C1 is charged to a preset voltage and stabilized at the preset voltage.
Specifically, the first switch SW1 is turned on based on the control signal CTL0, so that the second capacitor C2 is short-circuited. The detailed operation and principles are similar to those of the embodiments and are not repeated herein.
22) When the power supply is over, the low dropout regulator 1 stops working, the first switch SW1 is turned off, and the first capacitor C1 discharges to the feedback unit 11 and is stored in the second capacitor C2 of the feedback unit 11.
Specifically, after the power supply is completed, the enable signal EN _ LDO jumps to a low level, and the low dropout linear regulator 1 stops working; the first switch SW1 is turned off based on a control signal CTL0, so that the second capacitor C2 is connected to a path of the first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2. The charge on the first capacitor C1 is stored into the second capacitor C2 through the first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2, and no bleeding path exists. When the capacity of the second capacitor C2 is small, the voltage on the first capacitor C1 is substantially constant (the variation range is smaller than the set value), as shown in fig. 4, thereby completing a power supply process.
23) Turning on the first switch SW1, the second capacitor SW2 drains the stored charge to the first capacitor C1; and starting the low dropout regulator 1 to stabilize the voltage on the first capacitor C1 at the preset voltage.
Specifically, the first switch SW1 is turned on first, and the low dropout linear regulator 1 is enabled, and a short delay Td (preset time) exists between the control signal CTL0 and the enable signal; when the first switch SW1 is turned on, the charges stored in the second capacitor C2 are firstly discharged to the first capacitor C1, after the Td delay, the charges in the first capacitor C1 are not discharged through the first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2, the low dropout linear regulator 1 is enabled to start operating, and then the current of the branch where the first resistor R1, the second resistor R2, and the first switch SW1 are located is provided by the power supply voltage VDD through the power switch tube M1, so that the voltage across the first capacitor C1 does not change abruptly. If the second capacitor C2 does not exist, after the first switch SW1 is turned on, the charges on the first capacitor C1 are discharged immediately through the branch where the first resistor R1, the second resistor R2 and the first switch SW1 are located, the voltage on the first capacitor C1 changes suddenly, the low dropout linear regulator 1 is enabled to be turned on after Td delay, and the power supply voltage VDD supplies charges to the first capacitor C1 through the power switch tube M1.
As shown in fig. 4, I _ Power is a Power consumption curve of the present embodiment, and I _ STA1b is an intrinsic Power consumption of the ldo linear regulator when the ldo linear regulator is not connected to a load to operate. It can be seen that the power consumption of the present embodiment is almost 0, and there is no problem of the startup duration.
