Definitions
- the invention relates to a circuit for protecting an electrical consumer against reverse polarity using a MOSFET (metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor), wherein the circuit is connected on the input side to a power supply and the output side to the consumer and wherein the source terminal of the MOSFET with the power supply and the Drain terminal of the MOSFET is connected to the consumer.
- MOSFET metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor
- a diode in the input circuit also has the distinct advantage that it unfolds a buffer effect together with the capacitors in the device. For example, if the input voltage suddenly collapses during a starting operation in a vehicle, the capacitors with the charge stored there can maintain the functions of the apparatus for a certain time.
- the diode prevents the charge in the capacitors from discharging in the direction of the power supply. For example, in a vehicle, the discharge would be via external loads such as the starter. The diode thus allows a certain support effect.
- a decisive disadvantage of diodes is that they have a voltage loss of approximately 0.5 to 1 V in the direction of flow. This voltage loss has a negative effect on the device's properties in two respects.
- the total power loss of the device increases.
- the operating voltage has to be selected by 0.5 to 1 V higher than actually necessary due to the voltage loss across the diode. If the chip is not sufficiently selected reserve, for example, in a vehicle, the voltage drop across the diode can cause a reset of a device is triggered during a starting process.
- MOSFETs metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor
- MOSFETs have the advantage that only a voltage of the order of 0.1 V drops across them. If the supply voltage is connected in reverse polarity, the MOSFET blocks; if it is correctly connected, the MOSFET conducts. Due to the relatively low voltage drop across the MOSFET, the losses can be greatly reduced.
- a disadvantage of such protective circuits is that they differ significantly in dynamic behavior from a diode. MOSFETs conduct electricity in both directions when switched on. If the supply voltage drops, for example during a starting process in a vehicle, the capacities in the device thereby discharge via the MOSFET and via external loads. A support effect like using a diode does not exist.
- the present invention is therefore the object of a protective circuit against reverse polarity of the type mentioned in such a way and further, that a safe reverse polarity protection can be realized with a dynamic behavior similar to a diode with low power dissipation.
- the above object is achieved by the features of claim 1.
- the circuit in question is characterized in that the gate of the MOSFET is connected to the collector of a first bipolar transistor and the source of the MOSFET is connected to the emitter of the first bipolar transistor and that the base of the first bipolar transistor is controlled with a control current, wherein the control current is derived from the voltage at the drain of the MOSFET.
- a protection circuit can be achieved that is close to the behavior of an "ideal diode.”
- An ideal diode conducts when current in the flow direction is desired, leaving only a negligible voltage drop across the diode.
- Ideal diodes block very quickly when the current is reversed, and this can be realized by the protective circuit according to the invention
- the gate of the MOSFET is connected to the collector of a first bipolar transistor and the source of the MOSFET is connected to the emitter of the first bipolar transistor
- the base of the first bipolar transistor is driven by a control current derived from the voltage at the drain of the MOSFET so that the behavior of the MOSFET can be controlled by the voltage between the source and drain of the MOSFET.
- a voltage is applied to the gate, which turns on the MOSFET.
- a voltage of the order of 0.1 V drops across the MOSFET.
- the first bipolar transistor is set in such a way that it blocks and thus has no influence on the behavior of the MOSFET. If the voltage at the source of the MOSFET breaks down, the emitter of the bipolar transistor is pulled to a lower level and the bipolar transistor switches through. The control voltage at the gate of the MOSFET is pulled down and the gate is discharged. The MOSFET becomes more high-impedance and the voltage at the emitter of the bipolar transistor continues to drop. This discharges the gate faster and faster until the MOSFET completely shuts off.
- a circuit is provided according to the invention realized in the switched state, a voltage drop in the range of 0.1 V and below, but at the same time completely blocks in case of a voltage dip or reverse polarity.
- the behavior of the circuit according to the invention is relatively close to that of an ideal diode.
- a diode is used to derive the control current from the voltage at the drain of the MOSFET.
- a diode there are Defined voltage level, since over a diode after exceeding the threshold voltage in wide ranges a nearly constant voltage drops.
- this is formed by the base-emitter path of a second bipolar transistor.
- This is preferably of the same type as the first bipolar transistor. This can be avoided in a simple manner that a different behavior of the first and the second bipolar transistor have a negative impact on the function of the circuit.
- the first and second bipolar transistors could be placed as close to each other as possible. For very high demands, further improvements can be achieved when using a paired transistor in which two identical transistors are housed in a common housing. As a result, the threshold of the first transistor is clearly defined.
- a second diode For even further improvement of the protection circuit may be arranged between the emitter and base of the second bipolar transistor, a second diode.
- This diode can prevent too high reverse voltage between emitter and base in case of reverse polarity or voltage dip. If "only" one diode is used to derive the control current for the first bipolar transistor, the second diode would also be usable, with the second diode then being connected in anti-parallel to the first diode.
- a resistor may be arranged between the first diode and the drain of the MOSFET. This resistor is used to affect the voltage between the gate and drain and thus in turn adjust the voltage drop across the source and drain.
- a zener diode could be arranged in the source-gate direction parallel to the MOSFET. If too high a voltage drops across the zener diode in the event of a voltage dip or reverse polarity, then the zener diode would conduct, thus bypassing the MOSFET. The voltage between gate and Source is limited by this measure to the amount of breakdown voltage of the zener diode.
- the wiring of the MOSFET can be powered by an auxiliary voltage.
- the auxiliary voltage is generated by a charge pump.
- the auxiliary voltage is preferably generated from the voltage at the drain of the MOSFET. This ensures a defined voltage difference between the voltage at the drain and the supply voltage of the wiring elements.
- the auxiliary voltage may be above the supply voltage.
- a preferred auxiliary voltage is 5 V above the supply voltage. Depending on the choice of the circuit elements, however, other voltage values can also be realized.
- a third diode may be arranged in parallel to the MOSFET in the source-drain direction.
- This diode may be formed by a diode integrated in the MOSFET. Additionally or alternatively, the third diode could be located external to the MOSFET. In this way, when an input voltage is applied to the protection circuit, the connected consumer is supplied comparatively quickly. If the auxiliary voltage for supplying the Bescharisimplantation of the MOSFETs is generated from the voltage at the drain of the MOSFETs, no further measures are necessary by the third diode to allow the building of the auxiliary voltage. The diode with the relatively high voltage drop, however, only acts during the switch-on process. After the MOSFET has been turned on, a lower voltage is dropped across the MOSFET, so that the voltage across the third diode is no longer sufficient to bring it into a conductive state or to hold it in the conducting state.
- the third diode is preferably formed by a Schottky diode. This further reduces the power loss during the relatively short switch-on process.
- the MOSFET is operated in the linear region.
- the gate does not saturate and can be eliminated more quickly when the MOSFET is switched off, for example when the supply voltage drops. This contributes to an improvement of the dynamic behavior in case of error.

- a capacitor which is connected after the diode between the connecting line to the other electronics and ground, is representatively drawn as a buffer capacitor. If the input voltage, for example during a starting process of a vehicle, experiences a voltage dip, as shown in the diagram at the bottom left, the diode prevents a current flow in the direction of the supply network and the capacitor with its stored charge can continue to function for a certain time Maintain electronics. Without the diode, the capacitor would not have this supporting effect, since external loads, such as the starter, would discharge the capacitor. As a result, the output voltage to other electronics breaks much less than the input voltage, as can be seen in the diagrams to the right and left of FIG. 1.
- Fig. 2 shows a further protection circuit known from the prior art.
- This protection circuit is based on a p-channel MOSFET.

If an input voltage between 5 and 15 V, the MOSFET turns on and the other electronics are powered.

- Fig. 2C The protection circuit of FIG. 2B is connected to a buffer capacitor which is connected between the connection line to the further electronics and ground. If the input voltage experiences a voltage dip, as can be seen on the left under the input of the protection circuit, a current flows through the MOSFET to the input of the protection circuit in the direction of the supply network. The capacity is discharged via external loads, such as the starter. As a result, the output voltage of the protection circuit follows the input-side voltage dip almost unaffected.

- the MOSFET T1 When selecting the n-channel MOSFET T1 used, care should be taken to ensure that it has sufficient dielectric strength for the respective application. At the same time, it is advisable to select a MOSFET with the lowest possible gate-drain capacitance if the shortest possible blocking delay time is desired. Furthermore, if possible, the resistance R ds (on) of the MOSFET in the on state should be so small that at the highest current consumption of the subsequent circuit less than 0, 1 V voltage drop would occur.
