電子裝置之充電裝置之自動保護電路與其方法Automatic protection circuit of charging device of electronic device and method thereof

本發明係關於一種充電裝置之自動保護電路,特別關於一種適用於單一電池單元(single cell battery)之充電裝置之自動保護電路。The present invention relates to an automatic protection circuit for a charging device, and more particularly to an automatic protection circuit for a charging device suitable for a single cell battery.

傳統筆記型電腦通常設計為使用4個電池單元(4 cell)或6個電池單元(6 cell)之充電電池,因此其供應電壓通常為19伏特或甚至更高。然而,由於近年來筆記型電腦的輕便性逐漸受到重視,因此迷你型筆記型電腦(通常具有小於或等於10吋的面板、或2公斤以下的重量)的需求也開始快速成長。為了節省筆記型電腦的體積與重量,充電電池的設計成為一大考量。一般而言,當使用單一個充電電池單元時,筆記型電腦所需的供應電壓約為4伏特,其小於傳統筆記型電腦的19伏特。一但使用者將適用於接收19伏特之傳統筆記型電腦之變壓器耦接至使用單一個充電電池單元筆記型電腦時,過高的電壓會造成電腦內部元件的毀損。另一方面,若使用者將供應電壓低於4伏特之變壓器耦接至使用單一個充電電池單元筆記型電腦時,過低的電壓也可能造成電路短路,同樣會造成電腦內部元件的毀損。Conventional notebook computers are usually designed to use a rechargeable battery of 4 cells (4 cells) or 6 cells (6 cells), so the supply voltage is usually 19 volts or even higher. However, as the portability of notebook computers has received increasing attention in recent years, the demand for mini notebook computers (usually having a panel of less than or equal to 10 inches, or a weight of less than 2 kilograms) has also begun to grow rapidly. In order to save the size and weight of the notebook, the design of the rechargeable battery has become a big consideration. In general, when using a single rechargeable battery unit, the notebook computer requires a supply voltage of approximately 4 volts, which is less than the 19 volts of a conventional notebook. Once the user couples the transformer for a traditional notebook computer that accepts 19 volts to a single rechargeable battery unit notebook, excessive voltage can cause damage to the internal components of the computer. On the other hand, if the user couples a transformer with a supply voltage lower than 4 volts to a single rechargeable battery unit notebook, too low a voltage may cause a short circuit, which may also cause damage to the internal components of the computer.

因此,需要一種適用於單一電池單元(single cell battery)充電裝置之自動保護電路,用以預防使用者因使用錯誤之變壓器而導致電腦損壞。Therefore, there is a need for an automatic protection circuit suitable for a single cell battery charging device to prevent damage to the computer caused by the user using the wrong transformer.

The second switching circuit is coupled between the second voltage supply source and the main system for conducting according to the second state of the indication signal to provide the second supply voltage supplied by the second voltage supply source to the main system, where A voltage supply source is an external voltage supply source of one of the electronic devices, and the second voltage supply source is an internal voltage supply source of one of the electronic devices.

It should be noted that the above-described types of transistors and transistors are only used to illustrate a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention, as is known to those skilled in the art. It is also possible to design other components or according to any logic circuit, and therefore, while a few modifications and refinements can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, the scope of the invention is defined by the scope of the appended claims. quasi. In addition, it is worth noting that since the switching circuits 111A and 113A can actually use any logic circuit design, according to another embodiment of the present invention, the voltage detecting circuit 202A can be turned on for different switching circuits 111A and 113A. The two control signals S ACG , S BTG are generated correspondingly according to the indication signal S IND for respectively controlling the switch circuits 111A and 113A, and thus the present invention is not limited to the use of one or more indication/control signals.

根據本發明之一實施例,由二極體211逆接至外部電壓供應源,當供應電壓VADP 小於二極體211之崩潰電壓時,輸出電壓VZ 會大體相等於供應電壓VADP 。例如,當供應電壓VADP 之電壓值符合電子裝置100之操作電壓時(例如,VADP =5伏特),輸出電壓V2會大體相等於5伏特。此時,電壓偵測電路202A偵測到輸出電壓VZ 介於電子裝置100之既定操作電壓範圍內(例如,4~6伏特),因此輸出 具有高信號位準之指示信號SIND ,或具有高信號位準之兩控制信號SACG 與SBTG 。具有高信號位準之控制信號SACG 可導通電晶體214,並進而透過電晶體214導通電晶體213。因此,當自動保護電路101偵測到供應電壓VADP 之電壓值介於電子裝置100之既定操作電壓範圍之間時,自動保護電路101提供供應電壓VADP 至電子裝置。此時,由於控制信號SBTG 同樣具有高信號位準,因此不會導通電晶體215,於是電池裝置103之供應電壓VBAT 不會供應至電子裝置。此外,電壓偵測電路202A也可對應產生一充電信號SAC_IN 至電子裝置之充電裝置104,用以指示系統目前有正確的外部供應電壓源,以控制電池裝置103同時根據外部供應電壓源充電。According to an embodiment of the present invention, the diode 211 is reversely connected to the external voltage supply source. When the supply voltage V ADP is less than the breakdown voltage of the diode 211, the output voltage V Z is substantially equal to the supply voltage V ADP . For example, when the voltage value of the supply voltage V ADP matches the operating voltage of the electronic device 100 (eg, V ADP = 5 volts), the output voltage V2 will be substantially equal to 5 volts. At this time, the voltage detecting circuit 202A detects that the output voltage V Z is within a predetermined operating voltage range of the electronic device 100 (for example, 4-6 volts), thereby outputting the indicating signal S IND having a high signal level, or having High signal level two control signals S ACG and S BTG . The control signal S ACG having a high signal level can conduct the crystal 214 and further conduct the crystal 213 through the transistor 214. Therefore, when the automatic protection circuit 101 detects that the voltage value of the supply voltage V ADP is between the predetermined operating voltage range of the electronic device 100, the automatic protection circuit 101 supplies the supply voltage V ADP to the electronic device. At this time, since the control signal S BTG also has a high signal level, the crystal 215 is not conducted, and thus the supply voltage V BAT of the battery device 103 is not supplied to the electronic device. In addition, the voltage detecting circuit 202A can also generate a charging signal S AC_IN to the charging device 104 of the electronic device to indicate that the system currently has a correct external supply voltage source to control the battery device 103 to simultaneously charge according to the external supply voltage source.

當供應電壓VADP 之電壓值小於電子裝置100之操作電壓時(例如,VADP =3伏特),輸出電壓VZ 會大體相等於3伏特。此時,電壓偵測電路202A偵測到輸出電壓VZ 不介於一電子裝置100之既定操作電壓範圍內(例如,4~6伏特),因此輸出具有低信號位準之指示信號SIND ,或具有低信號位準之兩控制信號SACG 與SBTG 。具有低信號位準之控制信號SACG 不會導通電晶體214與213。因此,當自動保護電路101偵測到供應電壓VADP 之電壓值小於電子裝置100之既定操作電壓時,自動保護電路101不提供供應電壓VADP 至電子裝置,用以保護電子裝置之內部元件不會因過低的供應電壓而造成短路,進而導致電子裝置之壞損。此時,由於控制信號SBTG 同樣具有低信號位準,因此電晶 體215會被導通,於是將電池裝置103之供應電壓VBAT 供應至電子裝置。同時,充電信號SAC_IN 同樣具有一對應之信號位準,用以指示系統目前沒有正確的外部供應電壓源,控制電池裝置103此時將不會充電。When the voltage value of the supply voltage V ADP is less than the operating voltage of the electronic device 100 (eg, V ADP = 3 volts), the output voltage V Z will be substantially equal to 3 volts. At this time, the voltage detecting circuit 202A detects that the output voltage V Z is not within the predetermined operating voltage range of the electronic device 100 (for example, 4-6 volts), so the output signal S IND having a low signal level is output. Or two control signals S ACG and S BTG with low signal levels. The control signal S ACG with low signal level does not conduct the transistors 214 and 213. Therefore, when the automatic protection circuit 101 detects that the voltage value of the supply voltage V ADP is less than the predetermined operating voltage of the electronic device 100, the automatic protection circuit 101 does not provide the supply voltage V ADP to the electronic device to protect the internal components of the electronic device. A short circuit may occur due to a low supply voltage, which may cause damage to the electronic device. At this time, since the control signal S BTG also has a low signal level, the transistor 215 is turned on, and thus the supply voltage V BAT of the battery device 103 is supplied to the electronic device. At the same time, the charging signal S AC_IN also has a corresponding signal level to indicate that the system does not currently have a correct external supply voltage source, and the control battery device 103 will not be charged at this time.

另一方面,由二極體211逆接至外部電壓供應源,當供應電壓VADP 之電壓值大於二極體211之崩潰電壓時,逆接之二極體211會崩潰,並產生對應之輸出電壓值。例如,當供應電壓VADP 為高於電子裝置100之操作電壓時(例如,VADP =19伏特),輸出電壓VZ 會因崩潰之二極體211而大體介於7~8伏特之間。此時,電壓偵測電路202A偵測到輸出電壓VZ 之電壓值不介於電子裝置100之既定操作電壓範圍內(例如,4~6伏特),因此輸出具有低信號位準之指示信號SIND ,或具有低信號位準之兩控制信號SACG 與SBTG 。具有低信號位準之控制信號SACG 不會導通電晶體214與213。因此,當自動保護電路101偵測到供應電壓VADP 之電壓值大於電子裝置100之既定操作電壓時,自動保護電路101同樣不提供供應電壓VADP 至電子裝置,用以保護電子裝置之內部元件不會因過高的供應電壓而造成內部元件之燒毀。此時,由於控制信號SBTG 同樣具有低信號位準,因此電晶體215會被導通,於是將電池裝置103之供應電壓VBAT 供應至電子裝置。同時,充電信號SAC_IN 同樣具有一對應之信號位準,用以指示系統目前沒有正確的外部供應電壓源,因此,控制電池裝置103此時將不會充電。On the other hand, when the diode 211 is reversely connected to the external voltage supply source, when the voltage value of the supply voltage V ADP is greater than the breakdown voltage of the diode 211, the reversed diode 211 collapses and a corresponding output voltage value is generated. . For example, when the supply voltage V ADP is higher than the operating voltage of the electronic device 100 (eg, V ADP =19 volts), the output voltage V Z may be substantially between 7 and 8 volts due to the collapsed diode 211. At this time, the voltage detecting circuit 202A detects that the voltage value of the output voltage V Z is not within the predetermined operating voltage range of the electronic device 100 (for example, 4-6 volts), so the output signal signal with a low signal level is output. IND , or two control signals S ACG and S BTG with low signal levels. The control signal S ACG with low signal level does not conduct the transistors 214 and 213. Therefore, when the automatic protection circuit 101 detects that the voltage value of the supply voltage V ADP is greater than the predetermined operating voltage of the electronic device 100, the automatic protection circuit 101 also does not provide the supply voltage V ADP to the electronic device for protecting the internal components of the electronic device. The internal components will not be burnt due to excessive supply voltage. At this time, since the control signal S BTG also has a low signal level, the transistor 215 is turned on, and thus the supply voltage V BAT of the battery device 103 is supplied to the electronic device. At the same time, the charging signal S AC_IN also has a corresponding signal level to indicate that the system does not currently have a correct external supply voltage source, and therefore, the control battery device 103 will not be charged at this time.

Comparators 302 and 303 are respectively used to compare the voltages of the converted voltages V 1 and V 2 and the reference voltage V REF , and respectively output corresponding comparison results. The logic circuit 304 receives the comparison result from the comparators 302 and 303, and performs a logic operation on the comparison result for outputting the indication signal S IND having a corresponding signal level (state) with the comparison result, or the control signals S ACG and S BTG . . According to an embodiment of the present invention, the logic circuit 304 can be flexibly designed according to the input signal coupling manner of the comparators 302 and 303. For example, when the comparator 302 outputs a comparison result with a high signal level, it is used to represent the conversion voltage V. 1 is greater than the reference voltage V REF , and when the comparator 303 outputs a comparison result having a high signal level to represent that the conversion voltage V 2 is less than the reference voltage V REF , the logic circuit 304 can be an AND gate The two comparison results are used to perform an operation to output a corresponding indication signal S IND or control signals S ACG and S BTG . In addition, according to another embodiment of the present invention, the resistors R 1 , R 2 , R 3 of the voltage conversion circuit 301 can also be specially designed such that two threshold voltages (for example, 4 volts) defining a predetermined operating voltage range of the electronic device are defined. The voltage value (for example, 1.2 volts) of the reference voltage can be respectively approximated after being converted by the voltage conversion circuit 301 with 6 volts. In this way, the voltage detecting circuit 202A can be designed such that when the output voltage V Z is converted, the converted voltage V 1 is greater than the reference voltage V REF , and the converted voltage V 2 is less than the reference voltage V REF (assuming the converted voltage V 1 >V) 2 ), the logic circuit 304 can output an indication signal S IND having a first state (such as the high signal level described in the above embodiment), or control signals S ACG and S BTG having corresponding signal levels, to provide appropriate Supply voltage to the electronic device. Similarly, when the converted voltages V 1 and V 2 after the output voltage V Z has been converted are greater than the reference voltage V REF , or the converted voltages V 1 and V 2 are both less than the reference voltage V REF , the logic circuit 304 can output the second The indication signal S IND of the state (such as the low signal level described in the above embodiment) or the control signals S ACG and S BTG having the corresponding signal level are used to prevent an erroneous supply voltage from being supplied to the electronic device.
