- the seventh transistor can be of the bipolar type with the collector connected to the point common to resistors R32 and R33.
- a regulator can be implemented in technology HF5 CMOS for which the breakdown voltage is around 15 volts.
- the general principle is to detect the voltage applied by compared to a threshold of 12.5 volts by means of a resistive bridge and a comparator and switch the control structure while maintaining a normal operation if the voltage is less than 12 volts and dividing the applied voltage if it is greater than 12 volts. So not only the regulator is protected against destruction in the event of voltage power too high, but still the regulator continues to operate satisfactorily at a voltage greater than the breakdown voltage.
- the regulator is designed so that none of its components likely to banging around 15 volts is subject to such tension.
- the invention also relates to a regulation method intended to supply a constant voltage for the supply of consumer elements from a variable voltage V v , method in which the variable voltage V v is compared to a reference voltage V ref , divide the variable voltage V v by a factor k 1 , and supply the regulating element with a voltage V r equal either by the variable voltage V v , or by the variable voltage divided V v / k 1 by switching between the two voltages, the switching being controlled as a function of the comparison so that the regulating element is supplied by the variable voltage V v if a voltage condition is not satisfied and by the divided variable voltage V v / k 1 if the voltage condition is satisfied, the variable voltage V v being capable of assuming values greater than those capable of supporting the active components of the device.
- the invention applies to the automotive field, in particular for safety air bags. So we can make a regulator supporting a supply voltage higher than that allowed normally by the technology used, which presents many advantages in terms of choice of technology, reduction of the surface of silicon used and optimization. Indeed, in the case of an automobile, the regulator is normally powered from a battery of a alternator operating at 12 volts. However, in case of disconnection of the battery, the alternator output voltage may reach much higher values.
- the vehicle's electrical network is also subject to radiation due to the high voltage used by engine spark plugs. As a result, a regulator mounted in an automobile must be capable of withstanding voltages up to 25 volts.
- the regulating device comprises a regulating element 1 of conventional type, supplied by a direct voltage likely to vary between 5.1 and 12.5 volts and providing at the output a regulated voltage of 3.3 volts.
- the regulatory system also includes a reference module 2 providing the element with regulates a reference voltage, allowing it to develop the voltage regulated.
- the regulation device comprises a means for dividing 3 the supply voltage V v , the latter being between 5.1 and 25 volts.
- the dividing means 3 divides the supply voltage by two.
- the regulating device also comprises a switching means 4, one input of which is connected directly to the supply voltage V v of between 5.1 and 25 volts, another input is connected to the output of the dividing means 3 and sees a voltage V r between 5.1 and 12.5 volts, the output supplies the regulating element 1 and a control input receives a setpoint from a comparison means 5.
- the comparison means 5 comprises an amplifier 6 mounted as a comparator, the negative terminal of which receives a reference voltage V ref from the reference module 2, the positive terminal of which receives a voltage V comp proportional to the supply voltage V v via two resistors 7 and 8 connected in series between the voltage supply between 5.1 and 25 volts and ground, the positive terminal of the amplifier 6 being connected to the common point between the two resistors 7 and 8.
- the output of the amplifier 6 is connected to the control input of the switching means 4.
- the switching means 4 supplies the regulating element 1 directly with the supply voltage V v . This is due to the fact that the supply voltage V v is less than 12.5 volts. If the supply voltage is greater than 12.5 volts, the amplifier 6 outputs an opposite setpoint. The switching means 4 then supplies the regulating element 1 from the divided voltage V r supplied by the dividing means 3. Thus, the regulating element 1 always sees as input a voltage less than or equal to 12.5 volts, while the regulator as a whole sees a supply voltage less than or equal to 25 volts.
- the module 9 which groups the dividing means 3 and the switching means 4, is connected not only to the output of the amplifier 6 by which it receives a control signal denoted V + by l intermediary of the conductor 10. However, the module 9 also receives a reverse control signal V - which is obtained by means of an inverter 11 receiving the control signal V + as an input.
- the comparison voltage V comp is supplied to the negative terminal of the amplifier 6 by the module 9, the resistors making it possible to obtain the comparison voltage V comp can also be integrated into the module 9.
- the detail of the module 9 is illustrated in figure 3.
- module 9 is divided into three parts having different functionalities and separated by mixed lines.
- the dividing means 3 is formed by three resistors R12, R13 and R14 arranged in series between a line supplying the variable supply voltage V v between 5.1 and 25 volts and the ground line, it being understood that the mass can be floating, that is to say that the voltage V v is understood to be taken with respect to the mass.
- V comp V v * R14 / (R12 + R13 + R14)
- V d V v * (R13 + R14) / (R12 + R13 + R14).
- ak 1 (R13 + R14) / (R12 + R13 + R14)
- k 2 R14 / (R12 + R13 + R14).
- the rest of the module 9 forms the switching means 4 and can be divided into a switching part 15 and a control part switching 16.
- the switching part 15 comprises a first transistor T17 of the MOS type, the source of which is connected to the supply at the voltage V v , the drain of which is connected to the output of the module 9 which supplies the regulating element 1 of the Figure 1 a supply voltage V r less than or equal to 12.5 volts and the gate of which receives a control signal from the switching control part 16 which will be described later.
- the switching part 15 also includes a second transistor T18 of the bipolar PNP type, the collector of which is connected to the supply line under the voltage V v , the base of which is connected to the point common to the resistors R12 and R13 and sees the voltage V d and the emitter of which is here connected to an additional bipolar transistor T19 forming a cascode circuit in order to be able to supply a high output current under the voltage V r . If the required output current is lower, the presence of the additional transistor T19 is not necessary.
- the transistor T19 of NPN type, has its collector connected to the supply line under the voltage V v , its base connected to the emitter of the transistor T18 and its emitter connected to the output line of the voltage V r .
- V r V d - V BET18 - V BET19 .
- V v 25 volts
- V d 14 volts
- V r substantially equal to 12.5 volts.
- the maximum voltage that these transistors see is equal to V v - V r and therefore does not exceed 12.5 volts.
- the switching control part 16 is used to generate the control signal of the gate of the transistor T17 so that the said transistor T17 is blocked if the variable voltage V v is greater than 12.5 volts and is on in the other cases.
- the switching control part receives the control signal V + and the reverse control signal V - from the comparison means 5 illustrated in FIG. 1.
- the switching control part 16 comprises a MOS transistor T20 whose source is connected to ground, whose gate receives the control signal V + and whose drain is connected to the output line under the voltage V r by the intermediate of two resistors in series R21 and R22.
- the switching control part 16 comprises a MOS transistor T23 of the same type as the previous one, the source of which is connected to ground, the gate of which receives the reverse control signal V - and the drain of which is connected to a point referenced 24.
- a MOS transistor T25 has its drain connected to point 24, its source connected to the output line under voltage V r and its gate connected to the common point between resistors R21 and R22.
- An NPN T26 bipolar transistor has its emitter connected to point 24 and its base and its collector short-circuited and connected to the output line under voltage V r via two resistors R27 and R28.
- An NPN-type bipolar transistor T29 has its emitter connected to point 24, its base connected to the common point between resistors R27 and R28 and its collector connected to a point referenced 30.
- Three resistors in series, R31, R32 and R33 are arranged between the input line under the variable voltage V v and point 24.
- Point 30 is the common point between resistors R32 and R33.
- the transistor T29 is able to short-circuit the resistor R33 when it is on.
- the common point between the resistors R31 and R32 is connected to the gate of the transistor T17 of the switching part 15 and therefore supplies it with the control signal.
- the operation of the switching control part 16 is as follows. If the voltage V v is greater than 12.5 volts, the transistor T20 receives a positive control signal V + which turns it on, while the transistor T23 receives a reverse control signal V - zero which blocks it.
- the voltage at point 24 is therefore equal to the supply voltage V r to which is added the almost zero voltage between the drain and the source of transistor T25.
- the voltage between the base and the emitter of transistor T26 is zero.
- the transistor T26 is blocked. The same is true for transistor T29.
- the operation is as follows.
- the transistor T20 receives on its gate a zero V + control signal which blocks it, while the transistor T23 receives on its gate a reverse V - positive control signal which turns it on.
- the voltage at point 24 is therefore substantially zero.
- the transistor T25 has its gate and its source substantially at the same potential and is therefore blocked.
- the transistor T26 is turned on by the current flowing from the output line at the voltage V r by the resistors R28 and R27. Due to its mounting, the transistor T26 behaves like a diode. It is therefore conducting as soon as the voltage V r becomes greater than 0.7 volts.
- resistors R27 and R28 identical values equal to 100 kOhms.
- the base of transistor T29 is subjected to a voltage substantially equal to 0.7 volts to which is added half of the difference between the voltage V r and 0.7 volts. In other words, the transistor T29 turns on as soon as the voltage V r exceeds 0.7 volts. The transistor T29 thus short-circuits the resistor R33. The voltage at point 30 is therefore close to zero.
- the transistor T17 then short-circuits the bipolar transistors T18 and T19 which block.
- the regulating device operates by dividing the supply voltage, which guarantees the safety of the regulating element 1 .
- the regulating device receives at start-up a voltage V v equal to 10 volts
- the base of the transistor T18 is subjected to a voltage of the order of 5.6 volts.
- V r 4.2 volts approximately on the output line, causing the polarization of the transistors T20, T23, T25, T26, T29 and the emission of 'A control signal on the gate of transistor T17 able to turn it on and short-circuit the transistors T18 and T19, so that the voltage V r reaches the value of 10 volts.
- the various transistors are not subjected to voltages greater than 15 volts.
- the transistor T20 is mounted between V r and the ground and is subjected to a maximum of 12.5 volts.
- the transistor T23 mounted between point 24 and ground can be subjected to a voltage very slightly higher than 12.5 volts but in any case limited by the fact that the resistance R33 is of high value and will therefore tend to limit the current passing through the transistor T25 when it is on.
- the transistor T25 when it is blocked is subjected to the voltage V r .
- the transistor T26 when it is blocked is also subjected to the voltage V r .
- the transistor T29 when it is off is subjected to the voltage across the terminals of the resistor R33, which always remains less than the voltage difference between V v and V r and therefore at 12.5 volts.
- the switching control means 16 is supplied, in general, by the voltage V r limited to 12.5 volts maximum, while being able to control the gate of the transistor T17 at a voltage between 12.5 and 25 volts.
- a voltage regulator can be produced by integrated technology, for example HF5 CMOS, Bi-CMOS not supporting not high voltages, while the regulator will be able to withstand significantly higher tensions, for example double.
