Abstract

The present invention relates to an output detection and protection circuit for a switching power chip, comprising an output feedback detection module, a logic control module, a discharge resistor, and a switch transistor. When the chip is prepared to start, an output feedback voltage is to be detected. If the output feedback voltage is higher than an internal reference voltage, the chip stops starting and an internal logic controls the discharge resistor to pass through the switch transistor for discharging and pass through an output inductor to lower the output voltage. When the output voltage drops to below a certain threshold, the chip then begins to start. This invention can avoid, at the starting moment, long conduction times of the synchronous transistor caused by the residual output voltage, thereby preventing damage to the transistors due to any significant reverse current flowing through the synchronous transistor.

Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a startup detection and protection circuit for a switching power supply chip, in particular, a detection of the wheel-out voltage before the switching power supply is started and appropriately discharging according to the detection result. The circuit allows the output voltage to start from a normal full start. [Prior Art] Please refer to the figure - the pulse-width modulation (PWM) switching power supply chip output stage includes a main switch transistor (1) connected in series and a synchronous transistor (12), both in the string An output inductor (5) and an output capacitor () are connected to the output node (C) as the output voltage (νουτ) of the switching power supply. In order to prevent the DC/DC (5) off power supply from starting, the output generates a large electric f overshoot and the inductor current generates a large wave current, and a soft start control is added to the wafer to make the wheel voltage and the inductor current slowly change to the pre- Set up. The commonly used control method is to slowly increase the reference input power residual 0 of the error amplifier (not shown), and adjust the loop to make the wheeling follow the reference power hard to gradually increase to the preset value, avoiding Overshoot. In a continuous application, the output may have a residual voltage, not & Since the startup process is closed loop control, when the wafer detects that the voltage of the anti-bounce is higher than the reference voltage of the error amplifier slowly rising, the control stop diagram outputs the voltage (VOU) by turning on the synchronous transistor (12). Pulling low will open the synchronous transistor (12) for a long time, causing the output to continue to discharge through the inductor and the synchronous transistor (12). In this case, the synchronous transistor (12) is turned on for a long time, and the reverse current flowing through the step transistor (12) of 201134092 is very large, which increases the loss of the synchronous transistor (12) and exceeds its thermal limit. 'Severe damage to the synchronous transistor (12). Therefore, it is desirable to prevent the synchronous transistor 〇2) from being turned on for too long, and excessive current is continuously flowing. The second figure is an existing solution that compares an output feedback signal (FB) with a slowly changing reference voltage (SSREF) when the wafer is ready to start, if the output feedback signal (FB) is less than the reference voltage (SSREF), the chip starts normally; if the output feedback signal (fb) is greater than the reference voltage (SSREF), the main switching transistor (24) and the synchronous transistor (4) are turned off. The reference voltage (SSREF) still rises normally until it is higher than the output feedback signal (FB). When the wafer enters the startup process, the main switching transistor (2 sentences and synchronous transistor (25) are alternately turned on. This method can avoid output feedback. When the signal (FB) is greater than the reference voltage (SSREF), the synchronous transistor is turned on for a long time (called. However, when the pre-stored voltage on the output voltage (V0UT) is lower than the system-set output, the initial phase of the startup process turns off the output]. There are two states of switching, which is easy to cause the starting waveform to be unsmooth. If the pre-stored voltage on the output C (VOUT) is higher than the set output of the system, the output is turned off during the entire soft-start period, the main switch transistor (24) ) and the synchronous transistor (25) will not adjust the output to the preset value through the loop after the soft start period is over, and overshoot may occur during the adjustment process. The third figure is an existing alternative solution. A comparator (31) is used to detect the voltage (sw) and the grounding voltage (gnd) on the synchronous transistor (34) compared to the current of the &> step transistor (34) when the current drops to zero. Shut down Step-up crystal (34), avoiding synchronous transistor (34) reverse '々丨L over-current. But this method requires adding a synchronous transistor 201134092 zero-current detection circuit to the wafer, which increases the complexity of the circuit. PCT Application WO 2008/013871 describes a new protection scheme, which does not detect the output voltage, but controls the pulse width of the synchronous transistor from small to large through internal logic to prevent the synchronous transistor from being turned on for a long time. This method can still perform the adjustment of -u through the loop when the output feedback signal (FB) is higher than (SSREF), but (4) the logic is too complicated and difficult to implement. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The main object of the present invention is to provide a The output of the pulse width modulation (pwM) switching power supply chip starts the detection and protection circuit. (4) The structure of the circuit is simple and easy to implement and integrated in the inside of the chip, so that the whole startup process of the wafer works in a completely closed loop control, and the soft start (10) is often worked. Smooth transition. The invention comprises an output feedback voltage detection module, a control logic finger set, a discharge resistor and a switching transistor. The driving feedback signal is input to the negative phase input terminal of the comparator, the normal phase wheel input terminal of the comparator receives the reference voltage, and the output signal of the comparator is sent to the S terminal of the rs positive and negative device, and the transactor is The R terminal receives an enable control signal inside the chip (Μ the output of the RS flip-flop is connected to the input of the reverse gate, and the gate of the reverse gate is connected to the gate of the switch transistor). The drain of the switching transistor is connected to the discharge resistor. The other end of the electric resistance is connected to an output inductor of the switching power supply. The invention detects the output voltage before starting and grounds the output from the output inductor through the discharge resistor and the switching transistor to make the output voltage Ability to start a normal full start from 0. The circuit is relatively simple, and the capacity of 201134092 is easy to implement. The present invention discharges the output from the output inductor through the discharge resistor and the switching transistor instead of directly discharging the output. - The aspect increases the damping coefficient of the discharge, and on the other hand avoids the adjustable output architecture without output (VOUT) 璋 and cannot be directly discharged by the output, so that the method can be applied to both the fixed output and the adjustable output.
