Description
本發明關於一種靜電放電保護電路,尤指一種可有效吸收靜電的靜電放電保護電路。The invention relates to an electrostatic discharge protection circuit, in particular to an electrostatic discharge protection circuit capable of effectively absorbing static electricity.
靜電在日常生活中無處不在。雖然有些靜電人體很難感覺得到,但它可能足以使電路中的某些電子元件,例如電晶體、控制晶片等,功能發生異常或擊穿,特別是一些小訊號處理電路更容易受到靜電的影響。當有帶靜電的物體接觸到電路板時,就會對周邊的電子元件放電,使其損壞。因此,如何提高電路的穩定性,減少零件不良率的發生,乃成為現今極為重要的課題。Static electricity is everywhere in everyday life. Although some static electricity is difficult to feel, it may be enough to cause abnormalities or breakdown of certain electronic components in the circuit, such as transistors, control wafers, etc., especially some small signal processing circuits are more susceptible to static electricity. . When an object with static electricity comes into contact with the board, the surrounding electronic components are discharged and damaged. Therefore, how to improve the stability of the circuit and reduce the occurrence of defective parts is an extremely important issue.
除提高零件本身的質量外,其外圍靜電放電保護電路也很重要。早期一般是通過二個二極管將電壓箝位在某一點,如零電壓(接地)、電源電壓等。這樣如果當靜電很大時,就很容易在二極管兩端出現電壓過高而損壞二極管,而失去靜電放電保護作用,進而直接影響電路正常工作,甚至損壞電路板上的電子元件。In addition to improving the quality of the part itself, its peripheral electrostatic discharge protection circuit is also important. In the early days, the voltage was clamped at a certain point by two diodes, such as zero voltage (ground), power supply voltage, and the like. Thus, if the static electricity is large, it is easy to cause the voltage to be too high at both ends of the diode to damage the diode, and the electrostatic discharge protection is lost, thereby directly affecting the normal operation of the circuit and even damaging the electronic components on the circuit board.
請參閱圖1,圖1為以應用於液晶顯示器上之習知靜電放電保護電路1為例的示意圖。以下僅針對繪示於圖1中的靜電放電保護電路1做說明,而繪示於圖1中的其它電路架構為習知液晶顯示器的基本架構,在此不再贅述。如圖1所示,習知液晶顯示器包含四個靜電放電保護電路1,且三個RGB訊號線以及一個視頻圖形陣列(VGA)訊號線分別連接於四個靜電放電保護電路1。由於四個靜電放電保護電路1的電路架構皆相同,以下針對單一靜電放電保護電路1做說明。Please refer to FIG. 1. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a conventional electrostatic discharge protection circuit 1 applied to a liquid crystal display. The following is only for the electrostatic discharge protection circuit 1 shown in FIG. 1 , and the other circuit architecture shown in FIG. 1 is the basic structure of the conventional liquid crystal display, and details are not described herein again. As shown in FIG. 1, the conventional liquid crystal display includes four electrostatic discharge protection circuits 1, and three RGB signal lines and one video graphics array (VGA) signal line are respectively connected to the four electrostatic discharge protection circuits 1. Since the circuit configurations of the four ESD protection circuits 1 are the same, the following describes the single ESD protection circuit 1.
如圖1所示,靜電放電保護電路1是由二個二極管10、12以及一個電容14組成。視頻圖形陣列(VGA)電壓訊號加在二極管10、12的接腳16上,接腳18連接於地端GND,且接腳20連接於電源端VCC。正常情況下,二個二極管10、12都反偏而截止,靜電放電保護電路1不動作。當一個負的異常電壓加到電路板時,二極管10會被導通,接腳16的電壓就會被箝位在零電壓(接地)。另一方面,當一個正的異常電壓加到電路板時,二極管12會被導通,接腳16的電壓就會被箝位在電源電壓,同時對電容14充電,而產生濾波的效果,以減少對電源端VCC的影響。As shown in FIG. 1, the ESD protection circuit 1 is composed of two diodes 10, 12 and a capacitor 14. The video graphics array (VGA) voltage signal is applied to the pins 16 of the diodes 10, 12, the pins 18 are connected to the ground GND, and the pins 20 are connected to the power supply terminal VCC. Under normal circumstances, the two diodes 10, 12 are turned off and the ESD protection circuit 1 does not operate. When a negative abnormal voltage is applied to the board, the diode 10 is turned on and the voltage at pin 16 is clamped to zero voltage (ground). On the other hand, when a positive abnormal voltage is applied to the board, the diode 12 is turned on, the voltage of the pin 16 is clamped to the power supply voltage, and the capacitor 14 is charged, thereby generating a filtering effect to reduce The impact on the power supply VCC.
從上述關於靜電放電保護電路1的工作原理來看,其主要目的是使二極管10、12的接腳16的電壓控制在零電壓與電源電壓之間,以達到保護後級電路(back-end circuit)的作用。但是如果此時外界來了一個強靜電(電壓電流較大且持續時間較長)或是主機漏電較大就會通過訊號線傳到液晶顯示器的電路板上,而很容易出現電子元件損壞的情況。From the above working principle of the electrostatic discharge protection circuit 1, the main purpose is to control the voltage of the pins 16 of the diodes 10, 12 between zero voltage and the power supply voltage to achieve a back-end circuit. The role of ). However, if a strong static electricity is generated from the outside world (the voltage and current are large and the duration is long) or the main unit leakage is large, it will be transmitted to the circuit board of the liquid crystal display through the signal line, and the electronic component is easily damaged. .

請參閱圖2,圖2為根據本發明第一實施例之靜電放電保護電路3之示意圖。如圖2所示,靜電放電保護電路3包含複數個穩壓電路30a、30b、30c、…、30n、一第一二極管32、一第二二極管34、一旁路電容36以及一穩壓二極管38。複數個穩壓電路30a-30n並聯於一電源端VCC與一地端GND之間。第一二極管32之正極連接於電源端VCC,且第一二極管32之負極連接於複數個穩壓電路30a-30n。第二二極管34之正極連接於複數個穩壓電路30a-30n,且第二二極管34之負極連接於地端GND。旁路電 容36的一端連接於第一二極管32之正極與電源端VCC,且旁路電容36的另一端連接於第二二極管34之負極與地端GND。穩壓二極管38的一端連接於該第一二極管32之正極與電源端VCC,且穩壓二極管38的另一端連接於第二二極管34之負極與地端GND。Please refer to FIG. 2. FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of an electrostatic discharge protection circuit 3 according to a first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, the ESD protection circuit 3 includes a plurality of voltage stabilizing circuits 30a, 30b, 30c, ..., 30n, a first diode 32, a second diode 34, a bypass capacitor 36, and a stable The diode 38 is pressed. A plurality of voltage stabilizing circuits 30a-30n are connected in parallel between a power supply terminal VCC and a ground terminal GND. The anode of the first diode 32 is connected to the power supply terminal VCC, and the cathode of the first diode 32 is connected to the plurality of voltage stabilizing circuits 30a-30n. The anode of the second diode 34 is connected to the plurality of voltage stabilizing circuits 30a-30n, and the cathode of the second diode 34 is connected to the ground terminal GND. Bypass One end of the capacitor 36 is connected to the anode of the first diode 32 and the power terminal VCC, and the other end of the bypass capacitor 36 is connected to the cathode of the second diode 34 and the ground GND. One end of the Zener diode 38 is connected to the anode of the first diode 32 and the power terminal VCC, and the other end of the Zener diode 38 is connected to the cathode of the second diode 34 and the ground GND.
於此實施例中,每一個穩壓電路30a、30b、30c、…、30n分別包含一穩壓二極管300a、300b、300c、…、300n以及一電阻302a、302b、302c、…、302n。電阻302a-302n分別連接於電源端VCC與穩壓二極管300a-300n之負極之間,且穩壓二極管300a-300n之正極分別連接於地端GND。於實際應用中,若認為只用穩壓二極管300a-300n單獨穩壓,供電電流較不符合需求,便可如此實施例般加上電阻302a-302n作為限流之用,以保護穩壓二極管300a-300n不被損壞。電阻302a-302n的阻值是由供電電壓、穩壓電壓、負載電流、穩壓二極管電流等共同決定。此外,於此實施例中,穩壓二極管300a-300n可藉由一般所謂的齊納二極管(Zener diode)來實現;而於本發明的其他實施例中,則可視需求而利用其它具有穩壓效果的電子元件來實現。In this embodiment, each of the voltage stabilizing circuits 30a, 30b, 30c, ..., 30n includes a Zener diode 300a, 300b, 300c, ..., 300n and a resistor 302a, 302b, 302c, ..., 302n. The resistors 302a-302n are respectively connected between the power supply terminal VCC and the cathode of the Zener diodes 300a-300n, and the anodes of the Zener diodes 300a-300n are respectively connected to the ground terminal GND. In practical applications, if it is considered that only the Zener diodes 300a-300n are separately regulated, and the supply current is less than the demand, the resistors 302a-302n can be added as a current limiting method to protect the Zener diode 300a. -300n is not damaged. The resistance of the resistors 302a-302n is determined by the supply voltage, the regulated voltage, the load current, and the Zener diode current. In addition, in this embodiment, the Zener diodes 300a-300n can be implemented by a generally-called Zener diode; in other embodiments of the present invention, other voltage-regulating effects can be utilized as needed. The electronic components are implemented.
需說明的是,本發明之穩壓電路30a-30n並不以圖2所繪示的電路架構為限。舉例而言,如果加在穩壓二極管300a-300n的電壓不高的情況下,穩壓電路30a-30n亦可只用穩壓二極管300a-300n來穩壓,而不設置電阻302a-302n。此外,電阻302a-302n亦可串接於穩壓二極管300a-300n之負極與地端GND之間。換言之,穩壓電路30a-30n的設計,除了穩壓二極管300a-300n為基本元件外,可視實際應用而調整。It should be noted that the voltage stabilizing circuits 30a-30n of the present invention are not limited to the circuit architecture illustrated in FIG. 2. For example, if the voltage applied to the Zener diodes 300a-300n is not high, the voltage stabilizing circuits 30a-30n may be regulated only by the Zener diodes 300a-300n without providing the resistors 302a-302n. In addition, the resistors 302a-302n may also be connected in series between the negative terminal of the Zener diodes 300a-300n and the ground GND. In other words, the design of the voltage stabilizing circuits 30a-30n, except that the Zener diodes 300a-300n are basic components, can be adjusted depending on the actual application.
圖2所繪示的靜電放電保護電路3適用於電源為直流電且靜 電為中低頻電壓的情況。一般設置有靜電放電保護電路3的電子裝置的訊號線(如圖1中的RGB訊號線、視頻圖形陣列(VGA)訊號線或其它電子裝置的訊號線),是從靜電放電保護電路3的接腳40接入。在靜電放電保護電路3中,每一個穩壓電路30a-30n皆具有一穩壓值V1-Vn,其中靠近電源端VCC與地端GND之穩壓電路之穩壓值大於遠離電源端VCC與地端GND之穩壓電路之穩壓值,且每一個穩壓值皆大於電源端VCC之電壓值。換言之,於此實施例中,電源端VCC之電壓值與穩壓值V1-Vn間的相互關係可表示為:VCC<V1<V2<V3<…<Vn。The electrostatic discharge protection circuit 3 shown in FIG. 2 is suitable for the power supply to be DC and static. The case of electricity is the medium and low frequency voltage. Generally, the signal line of the electronic device provided with the ESD protection circuit 3 (such as the RGB signal line, the video graphics array (VGA) signal line or the signal line of other electronic devices in FIG. 1) is connected from the ESD protection circuit 3. The foot 40 is connected. In the ESD protection circuit 3, each of the voltage stabilizing circuits 30a-30n has a voltage regulation value V1-Vn, wherein the voltage regulator circuit of the voltage regulator circuit close to the power terminal VCC and the ground terminal GND is greater than the power source VCC and ground. The voltage regulation value of the voltage regulator circuit of the terminal GND, and each voltage regulation value is greater than the voltage value of the power supply terminal VCC. In other words, in this embodiment, the relationship between the voltage value of the power supply terminal VCC and the regulation voltage values V1 - Vn can be expressed as: VCC < V1 < V2 < V3 < ... < Vn.
以下分階段說明當靜電電壓為正時,靜電放電保護電路3的工作原理。The following stages explain the operation principle of the electrostatic discharge protection circuit 3 when the electrostatic voltage is positive.

5、V3至Vn階段的工作原理依此類推,在此不再贅述。5. The working principle of the V3 to Vn stage is the same, and will not be described here.
以下分階段說明當靜電電壓為負時,靜電放電保護電路3的工作原理。The following stages explain the operation principle of the electrostatic discharge protection circuit 3 when the electrostatic voltage is negative.
1、正常工作階段:當靜電電壓介於0V與-0.7V之間時,電路正常工作,且靜電放電保護電路3不動作。1. Normal working phase: When the electrostatic voltage is between 0V and -0.7V, the circuit works normally, and the electrostatic discharge protection circuit 3 does not operate.
2、V1階段:當靜電電壓介於-0.7V與-(V1-VCC)之間時,第二二極管34截止,第一二極管32導通,此時穩壓電路30a的穩壓二極管300a導通,靜電能量由穩壓電路30a吸收掉。2. V1 phase: when the electrostatic voltage is between -0.7V and -(V1-VCC), the second diode 34 is turned off, the first diode 32 is turned on, and the Zener diode of the voltage stabilizing circuit 30a is at this time. When 300a is turned on, the electrostatic energy is absorbed by the voltage stabilizing circuit 30a.
3、V2階段:當靜電電壓介於-(V1-VCC)與-(V2-VCC)之間時,第二二極管34截止,第一二極管32導通,此時穩壓電路30a、30b的穩壓二極管300a、300b導通,靜電能量由穩壓電路30a、30b吸收掉。3.

4、V3階段:當靜電電壓介於-(V2-VCC)與-(V3-VCC)之間時,第二二極管34截止,第一二極管32導通,此時穩壓電路30a、30b、30c的穩壓二極管300a、300b、300c依序導通,靜電能量由穩壓電路30a、30b、30c吸收掉。4.

5、V3至Vn階段的工作原理依此類推,在此不再贅述。5. The working principle of the V3 to Vn stage is the same, and will not be described here.
綜上所述,無論靜電電壓為正或負,當靜電電壓愈強,導通的穩壓電路就愈多,只要合理的設定穩壓電路30a-30n的穩壓二極管300a-300n的穩壓值V1-Vn,靜電能量就會依序被穩壓電路30a-30n吸收掉。此外,當靜電的瞬間電壓過大時,第一二極管32與第二二極管34具有隔離的效果,進而確保整個系統可以正常工作。再者,當靜電或其它能量在一單位時間內,同時產生正負電壓時,大部分的能量可在穩壓電路30a-30n間自行洩放或吸收,可有效防止大能量流竄、干擾系統電路,進而確保電路安全。In summary, no matter whether the electrostatic voltage is positive or negative, the stronger the electrostatic voltage is, the more the voltage-stabilizing circuit is turned on, as long as the voltage regulation value of the Zener diode 300a-300n of the voltage regulator circuit 30a-30n is set reasonably V1. -Vn, the electrostatic energy is sequentially absorbed by the voltage stabilizing circuits 30a-30n. In addition, when the instantaneous voltage of the static electricity is excessively large, the first diode 32 and the second diode 34 have an isolation effect, thereby ensuring that the entire system can work normally. Furthermore, when static electricity or other energy generates positive and negative voltages in a unit time, most of the energy can be vented or absorbed by the voltage stabilizing circuits 30a-30n, which can effectively prevent large energy from flowing and interfere with the system circuit. In turn, the circuit is safe.
此外,旁路電容36具有濾波效果,用來濾除電路中的雜訊,而穩壓二極管38則做為負壓箝位保護。當電子裝置尚未開機時,如果有外部異常能量洩放,穩壓二極管38可將電源端的電壓VCC強制箝位在-0.7V以上,以確保電路安全。In addition, the bypass capacitor 36 has a filtering effect for filtering noise in the circuit, and the Zener diode 38 is used as a negative voltage clamp protection. When the electronic device is not turned on, if there is external abnormal energy bleed, the Zener diode 38 can clamp the voltage VCC of the power terminal to -0.7V or more to ensure circuit safety.
請參閱圖3,圖3為根據本發明第二實施例之靜電放電保護電路5之示意圖。靜電放電保護電路5與前述的靜電放電保護電路3的主要差別在於靜電放電保護電路5更包含一RC電路50。如圖3所示,RC電路50與穩壓電路30a-30n並聯,且RC電路50連接於電源端VCC與地端GND之間。需說明的是,圖3中與圖2中所示相同標號的元件,其結構、作用原理皆相同,在此不再贅述。若RC電路50的電容500可吸收的靜電能量以V0表示,則V0、電源端VCC之電壓值與穩壓值V1-Vn間的相互關係可表示為:VCC<V0<V1<V2<V3<…<Vn。Please refer to FIG. 3. FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of an ESD protection circuit 5 according to a second embodiment of the present invention. The main difference between the electrostatic discharge protection circuit 5 and the aforementioned electrostatic discharge protection circuit 3 is that the electrostatic discharge protection circuit 5 further includes an RC circuit 50. As shown in FIG. 3, the RC circuit 50 is connected in parallel with the voltage stabilizing circuits 30a-30n, and the RC circuit 50 is connected between the power supply terminal VCC and the ground terminal GND. It should be noted that the components of the same reference numerals as those shown in FIG. 2 have the same structure and function principle, and are not described herein again. If the electrostatic energy absorbed by the capacitor 500 of the RC circuit 50 is represented by V0, the relationship between the voltage value of V0, the power supply terminal VCC and the voltage regulation value V1-Vn can be expressed as: VCC<V0<V1<V2<V3< ...<Vn.
圖3所繪示的靜電放電保護電路5適用於電源為直流電且靜電為高頻電壓(例如1GHz~2GHz)的情況。RC電路50在靜電放電保護電路5中的工作原理說明如下。當靜電電壓介於(VCC+0.7V)與V0之間時,第一二極管32截止,第二二極管34導通,此時靜電經過RC電路50的電容500、第二二極管34與地端GND對電容500充電,在靜電消除後,電容500再對電阻502放電。換言之,這段期間的靜電是由RC電路50吸收掉。The electrostatic discharge protection circuit 5 illustrated in FIG. 3 is applied to a case where the power source is direct current and the static electricity is a high frequency voltage (for example, 1 GHz to 2 GHz). The operation of the RC circuit 50 in the electrostatic discharge protection circuit 5 is explained below. When the electrostatic voltage is between (VCC+0.7V) and V0, the first diode 32 is turned off, and the second diode 34 is turned on. At this time, the static electricity passes through the capacitor 500 of the RC circuit 50 and the second diode 34. The capacitor 500 is charged with the ground GND, and after the static electricity is removed, the capacitor 500 discharges the resistor 502. In other words, the static electricity during this period is absorbed by the RC circuit 50.
因此,於此實施例中,當有瞬間正負靜電脈衝產生時,會先由RC電路50的時間常數吸收抵銷。當瞬間靜電脈衝時間超出RC電路50的時間常數時,則正電壓能量由穩壓電路30a-30n分階段吸收掉,並且轉換成無害低頻能量,同步導流到地端GND上,反之,負電壓能量由穩壓電路30a-30n分階段吸收掉,並且轉換成無 害低頻能量,同步導流到電源端VCC上。於實際應用中,RC電路50可以防止靜電放電火花與雜訊的產生。Therefore, in this embodiment, when an instantaneous positive and negative electrostatic pulse is generated, it is first offset by the time constant of the RC circuit 50. When the instantaneous electrostatic pulse time exceeds the time constant of the RC circuit 50, the positive voltage energy is absorbed by the voltage stabilizing circuits 30a-30n in stages, and converted into harmless low frequency energy, which is synchronously guided to the ground GND, and vice versa. The energy is absorbed by the voltage stabilizing circuits 30a-30n in stages and converted into no Damage to low frequency energy, synchronously diverted to the power supply terminal VCC. In practical applications, the RC circuit 50 can prevent the generation of electrostatic discharge sparks and noise.

FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of an electrostatic discharge protection circuit 6 according to a third embodiment of the present invention. The main difference between the electrostatic discharge protection circuit 6 and the electrostatic discharge protection circuit 3 described above is that the electrostatic discharge protection circuit 6 further includes a third diode 60 and a fourth diode 62. As shown in FIG. 4, the cathode of the third diode 60 is connected to the voltage stabilizing circuit 30a-30n and the power terminal VCC, and the anode of the third diode 60 is connected to the cathode of the fourth diode 62, and the fourth The anode of the pole tube 62 is connected to the voltage stabilizing circuits 30a-30n and the ground terminal GND.

圖4所繪示的靜電放電保護電路6適用於電源為交流電且靜電為中低頻電壓的情況。於此實施例中,無論靜電電壓為正或負,在前述正常工作階段下,第三二極管60與第四二極管62皆截止,而在前述V1至Vn階段下,第三二極管60與第四二極管62則會導通,再由穩壓電路30a-30n依序吸收靜電能量,進而達到靜電放電保護的效果。The electrostatic discharge protection circuit 6 illustrated in FIG. 4 is applicable to a case where the power source is an alternating current and the static electricity is a medium-low frequency voltage. In this embodiment, regardless of whether the electrostatic voltage is positive or negative, the third diode 60 and the fourth diode 62 are both turned off during the normal operating phase, and the third diode is in the aforementioned V1 to Vn phase. The tube 60 and the fourth diode 62 are turned on, and the static electricity is sequentially absorbed by the voltage stabilizing circuits 30a-30n to achieve the effect of electrostatic discharge protection.
請參閱圖5,圖5為根據本發明第四實施例之靜電放電保護電路7之示意圖。靜電放電保護電路7與前述的靜電放電保護電路3的主要差別在於靜電放電保護電路7更包含一RC電路50、一第三二極管60以及一第四二極管62。如圖5所示,RC電路50與穩壓電路30a-30n並聯,且RC電路50連接於電源端VCC與地端GND之間;第三二極管60之負極連接於RC電路50與電源端VCC,第三二極管60之正極連接於第四二極管62之負極,且第四二極管62之正極連接於RC電路50與地端GND。需說明的是,圖5中與圖2中所示相同標號的元件,其結構、作用原理皆相同, 在此不再贅述。Please refer to FIG. 5. FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of an electrostatic discharge protection circuit 7 according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention. The main difference between the electrostatic discharge protection circuit 7 and the electrostatic discharge protection circuit 3 described above is that the electrostatic discharge protection circuit 7 further includes an RC circuit 50, a third diode 60, and a fourth diode 62. As shown in FIG. 5, the RC circuit 50 is connected in parallel with the voltage stabilizing circuits 30a-30n, and the RC circuit 50 is connected between the power terminal VCC and the ground GND; the cathode of the third diode 60 is connected to the RC circuit 50 and the power terminal.

It should be noted that the components of the same reference numerals as those shown in FIG. 2 in FIG. 5 have the same structure and function principle. I will not repeat them here.
如前所述,由於靜電放電保護電路7同時具有RC電路50、第三二極管60以及第四二極管62,因此靜電放電保護電路7適用於電源為交流電且靜電為高頻電壓(例如1GHz~2GHz)的情況。As described above, since the electrostatic discharge protection circuit 7 has both the RC circuit 50, the third diode 60, and the fourth diode 62, the electrostatic discharge protection circuit 7 is suitable for the power source to be an alternating current and the static electricity to be a high frequency voltage (for example, 1GHz~2GHz).
