Description

Power supply protection method and system with power supply protection function

Technical field

One or more embodiments of the present application generally relate to the field of power supply protection of electronic equipment, and specifically relate to a power supply protection method and a system with a power supply protection function.

Background technique

Nowadays, as the system load of electronic devices increases, for example, the load of mobile phone applications is rapidly increasing, and there will be more and more high-load scenarios, low-voltage and high-current scenarios of electronic devices.

In the prior art, a power management unit (PMU)/power management integrated circuit (PMIC) is usually used to provide power supply protection for electronic equipment. Among them, PMIC is an integrated circuit that highly integrates the PMU. chip. PMU generally uses protection circuits such as under/overvoltage, overcurrent, and overtemperature to handle abnormal power supply to protect electronic equipment. When the above-mentioned abnormality occurs, the protection circuit generally causes the PMU to stop providing power, causing the electronic device to restart or shut down.

Some existing technologies deal with high current scenarios of electronic devices by judging the temperature of the battery. However, the prior art judges whether the electronic device is working under a high current state by detecting the temperature. The real-time performance is not high enough, and the response speed to the abnormal power supply is slow. In some cases, the processing of the abnormal power supply may not be timely, resulting in the protection circuit of the PMU. Intervene to restart or shut down the system. Secondly, the prior art judges power supply abnormality by detecting the battery temperature. Since only one-dimensional information is used to determine the power supply abnormality, it is easy to form an overdesign of the power supply protection scheme, resulting in overprotection. For example, in a low temperature scenario, the battery voltage drops due to the high internal resistance of the battery. If the abnormal power supply is judged only from the temperature dimension, it is likely to be judged as an abnormal undervoltage, but when the battery is fully charged, the undervoltage may not occur. If the power supply protection is performed according to the judgment of the under-voltage abnormality, it will cause over-protection.

The power management unit 12 may be an integrated composite power management unit, which may have modules/circuits such as temperature protection, overcurrent and overvoltage protection, etc., and the power management unit 12 may be implemented by CMOS technology.

The power supply protection device 10 (the abnormality detection device 102 and the abnormality processing device 104) may be codes and routines operable by a processor, so that the abnormality of the power supply of the system 1 can be detected and processed. In some embodiments, hardware including a field programmable gate array (FPGA) or an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) may be used to implement the power supply protection device 10 (the abnormality detection device 102 and the abnormality processing device 104). In some embodiments, a combination of hardware and software may be used to implement the power supply protection device 10 (the abnormality detection device 102 and the abnormality processing device 104).

The abnormality detection unit 1022 can detect a variety of information when the system 1 is working. In some embodiments, the working state of the system 1 may include a standby state and a normal working state. In some embodiments, the working state also includes a low power consumption state (for example, a power saving mode, etc.), but does not include a complete power-off state. State, where in the working state, each device of the system 1 can realize part of the function or the complete function.

In one or more embodiments, the detected information in the working state of the system may include information about the current, voltage, power consumption, load, and temperature of the system 1, and this information may include information about each type of information when the system 1 is in the working state. The instantaneously detected data is continuously detected within a set time interval, or a collection of multiple data detected at discrete time points, or the average of multiple data. In the context, unless otherwise specified or specified, the information of current, voltage, power consumption, load, and temperature generally indicates the information of the system 1 in the working state.

The detected information may come from part or all of the power management unit 12, the system on chip 14, the motherboard and other devices. For example, the information may include the operating current (such as LDO current, DC-DC output current, etc.), input/output voltage, power consumption, and temperature of the power management unit 12, and the current, voltage, frequency, load of the system-on-chip 14 , Temperature and other information, and temperature information of the motherboard.

By detecting various working information of the system, the range of judgment for abnormal power supply of the system can be more comprehensive, the judgment accuracy is higher, and the power supply protection can be provided more accurately to avoid excessive protection.

The abnormality detection unit 1022 can also compare the detected information with the corresponding threshold to detect whether the system has power supply abnormality. If the power supply abnormality is detected, it generates and provides power supply abnormality information. The power supply abnormality information indicates that the system 1 has at least one The information-related power supply is abnormal.

In some embodiments, the power supply abnormality information may include, but is not limited to, voltage undervoltage abnormalities and overvoltage abnormalities, current undercurrent abnormalities and overcurrent abnormalities, low temperature abnormalities and high temperature abnormalities, and excessive power consumption abnormalities, etc. Other abnormalities related to the above detection information.

In some embodiments, machine learning can be implemented on one or more components of the system 1. The above-mentioned detected data can be used as sample data to train a machine learning model. For the sample data, user data that may be contained in the data has been desensitized, or the user has explicitly obtained permission to use the sample data for training. Based on the sample data, the machine learning model can predict the power supply abnormality of the system according to the received various information of the system in the working state, and then provide the abnormality as a predicted abnormality.

The abnormality processing unit 1042 sends a control signal according to the abnormal power supply information, so that the system 1 adjusts at least one of the above-mentioned multiple types of information to prevent the system 1 from restarting or shutting down due to abnormal power supply. In some embodiments, the restart or shutdown of the system 1 due to abnormal power supply is due to the working current, input/output voltage, power consumption, or temperature of the power management unit 12 triggering the protection circuit of the power management unit 12, so that the power management unit 12 A restart or shutdown instruction is issued to the processor of the system-on-chip 14, and then the power management unit 12 turns off the power, or in some cases, after the protection circuit is triggered, the power management unit 12 directly turns off the power. In the illustrated embodiment, the shutdown threshold indicates the critical value that triggers the protection circuit preset by the system 1 to cause the power to shut down.

In some embodiments, the control signal sent by the abnormality processing unit 1042 may include a voltage increase/decrease signal, a frequency increase/decrease (load) signal, a temperature increase/decrease signal, and a CPU interrupt signal. For example, the boost/decrease signal can increase or decrease (Boost or Buck) the input/output voltage of the power management unit 12, and the boost/decrease frequency (load) signal can increase or decrease the frequency of processing units such as CPU, GPU, etc. The temperature drop signal can physically adjust the temperature of one or more components of the system through the temperature adjustment device of the system. In some embodiments, the temperature regulator may include cooling equipment (for example, air-cooled, water-cooled or oil-cooled equipment, etc.) of the motherboard and the system-on-chip 14 and heating equipment on the load/power supply side. In some embodiments, the temperature regulator may receive a control instruction from the processor 142, or directly receive a temperature increase/decrease signal from the abnormality processing unit 1042 through a hardware connection.

In some embodiments, the power supply protection device may further include an abnormality encoding unit 1024 and a corresponding abnormality decoding unit 1044. The anomaly encoding unit 1024 is configured to encode the anomaly information provided by the anomaly detection unit 1022 to generate encoded power supply anomaly information. The abnormality decoding unit 1044 decodes the encoded power supply abnormality information to obtain corresponding power supply abnormality information. For example, the encoding method may adopt binary encoding, such as forming the following methods: overvoltage: 001, overcurrent: 010, high temperature: 011, undervoltage: 100, undercurrent: 101, low temperature: 110, and others: 000.

In some other implementations, the combined detected information may also be encoded. For example, for current information, suppose there are L data, Cur_1, Cur_2...Cur_L; for temperature information, suppose there are M data, Temp_1, Temp_2...Temp_M; for voltage information, suppose there are N data, Vol_1, Vol_2...Vol_N; For power consumption information, suppose there are 0 pieces of data, Pwr_1, Pwr_2...Pwr_O; for load performance information, suppose there are P pieces of data, LDP_1, LDP_2...LDP_P. Combine these information and encode, there are a total of L*M*N*O*P data, and then combine these into a binary code, the coding method is not limited, to ensure that each data code is unique. Each code includes the full set of data on current, temperature, voltage, power consumption and load performance, such as {Cur_1, Temp_1, Vol_1, Pwr_1, LDP_1}.

By encoding the power supply abnormal information, the information capacity can be reduced, the bandwidth occupancy during information transmission can be reduced, and the information transmission efficiency can be improved.

With further reference to Figures 1a-1d and Figures 2c-2d, the transceiver unit 106 is used to receive the above-mentioned information of the system 1 in the working state, and transmit it to the abnormality detection unit 1022, and the transceiver unit 106 is also used to receive the abnormality detection unit 1022 to generate The abnormal power supply information (uncoded or coded) is transmitted to the abnormal processing unit 1042, and the control signal generated by the abnormal processing unit 1042 is transmitted to the power management unit 12 and/or the system on chip 14. It is understandable that the transceiving units 106a-106b have part or all of the functions of the transceiving unit 106. For example, the transceiving unit 106a can transmit the above-mentioned information of the system 1 in the working state to the abnormality detection unit 1022 and the abnormality processing unit 1042. The power supply abnormality information (uncoded or coded) generated by the abnormality detection unit 1022 is transmitted. The transceiver unit 106b can receive power supply abnormal information (uncoded or coded) generated from the abnormality detection unit 1022, and then transmit the abnormal information to the abnormality processing unit 1042, and transmit the control signal generated by the abnormality processing unit 1042 to the power management Unit 12 and/or System on Chip 14.

The transceiver unit 106 (or 106a-106b) can be implemented by a circuit or a software interface. As shown in FIGS. 1a-1d and FIGS. 2c-2d, the transceiver unit may exist in the power management unit 12, or exist in the system on chip 14, or exist in other positions of the system 1, such as a motherboard. According to another embodiment, the transceiver unit may also exist in the power management unit 12 and the system on chip 14 at the same time, or exist in the power management unit 12, the motherboard and the system on chip 14 at the same time.

In some embodiments, a system with a power supply protection device is compared with an existing system without the device, for example, in the same low-temperature scenario, even if the battery capacity of the system described herein is more than 10% lower than that of the existing system. %, you can also keep the system running without shutting down. In the test, the existing system shuts down at -10°C and at 18% power, while the system with the power supply protection device shuts down at -10°C and 9% power.

Through the detection of various power supply-related parameters of the electronic equipment system in the working state, the abnormal power supply of the system can be judged comprehensively and accurately, and the power supply protection can be provided more accurately to avoid excessive protection. By adopting a variety of power supply exception handling methods, and combining the application of power supply exception handling methods based on multiple conditions, the power supply protection device can improve the ability of the power supply protection device to handle power supply exceptions in complex work scenarios, and achieve low temperature, low voltage, and high current scenarios. The system of the equipment maintains lower voltage operation without shutting down.

Figures 2a-2d show block diagrams of example power protection devices that can implement one or more of the features described herein. In some embodiments, the power supply protection device shown in FIGS. 2a, 2c, and 2d may be the abnormality detection device 102.

As described with reference to FIGS. 1a-1d and FIGS. 2c-2d, the abnormality detection device 102 receives the temperature information 201, voltage information 202, load information 203, current information 204, and power consumption information 205 of the system 1 through the transceiver unit 106a. This information comes from at least a part of the power management unit 12 located on the power supply side of the system 1, the system on chip 14 located on the load side of the system 1, and other devices such as motherboards.

In some embodiments, the above-mentioned information is acquired through sensing devices/modules arranged in the system 1, for example, temperature sensors, current/voltage sensing modules, etc. respectively arranged in the power management unit 12, the system on chip 14 and the motherboard.

The abnormality detection unit 1022 compares the received information with the corresponding threshold, and detects whether the system has abnormal power supply. In some embodiments, the threshold can be set based on various power supply parameters and temperature parameters in the working state of the system. For example, the undervoltage threshold on the power supply side may be lower than the input/output voltage of the power management unit 12 in the working state of the system. A specific voltage value or a specific percentage. Similarly, the overcurrent threshold on the power supply side may be a specific current value or a specific percentage higher than the operating current of the power management unit 12 in the system working state. In the illustrated embodiment, the corresponding threshold for detecting abnormal power supply is different from the aforementioned shutdown threshold. It can be understood that the abnormal power supply threshold has a certain margin compared with the shutdown threshold, so that the detected abnormal power supply will not trigger power management. Unit 12 is powered off.

In some embodiments, the power supply abnormality information may include information indicating that a low voltage phenomenon occurs on the power supply side of the system 1. For example, the abnormality detection unit 1022 compares the input/output voltage of the power management unit 12 received from the transceiver unit 106a with the undervoltage threshold, and if the input/output voltage is lower than the undervoltage threshold, the abnormality detection unit 1022 generates undervoltage abnormal information .

In some embodiments, the power supply abnormality information may also include information indicating that the power supply side of the system 1 has excessive current, excessive power consumption, or excessive current and excessive power consumption. For example, the abnormality detection unit 1022 compares the operating current and power consumption of the power management unit 12 received from the transceiver unit 106a with the overcurrent threshold and the high power consumption threshold, respectively. If the operating current is greater than the overcurrent threshold and the power consumption is greater than the high power consumption, If the threshold value, or both the operating current and the power consumption are greater than the threshold value, the abnormality detection unit 1022 generates corresponding power supply abnormality information. In different embodiments, the abnormality detection unit 1022 receives the operating current and output voltage of the power management unit 12 from the transceiver unit 106a, and detects the power consumption according to the operating current and voltage, or according to the overcurrent threshold and the overvoltage threshold. Check whether the power consumption is too large.

In some embodiments, the power supply abnormality information may further include information indicating that the temperature of the power supply side and/or the load side of the system 1 is too high or too low. For example, the abnormality detection unit 1022 compares the temperature information of the system 1 received from the transceiver unit 106a with a temperature threshold, where the temperature information may include at least one of the temperature of the power management unit 12, the temperature of the motherboard, or the temperature of the system on chip 14 , The temperature threshold may include at least one of thresholds corresponding to various temperature information. In different embodiments, the temperature information may include a weighted average of the temperature of the power management unit 12, the temperature of the motherboard or the temperature of the system on chip 14, and the temperature threshold may include a corresponding temperature threshold corresponding to the averaged temperature. The abnormality detection unit 1022 compares the received temperature information with a low temperature threshold or a high temperature threshold. If the temperature is lower than the low temperature threshold, the abnormality detection unit 1022 generates low temperature abnormality information, and if the temperature is higher than the high temperature threshold, generates high temperature abnormality information.

In some embodiments, the abnormality detection device 102 optionally includes an abnormality encoding unit 1024. For the description of the abnormal coding unit 1024, reference may be made to the related descriptions of FIGS. 1a-1d, which will not be repeated here.

In different embodiments, the abnormality detection device 102 may further include one or more units in the abnormality processing device 104 shown in FIGS. 1a-1d and 2b-2d. The exception handling device 104 is described below with reference to FIGS. 2b-2d.

Through the detection of various power supply-related parameters of the electronic equipment system in the working state, the abnormal power supply of the system can be judged comprehensively and accurately, and the power supply protection can be provided more accurately to avoid excessive protection.

Figure 2b shows a block diagram of another example power supply protection device that can implement one or more of the features described herein. In some embodiments, the power supply protection device shown in FIGS. 2b-2d is the abnormality handling device 104.

As described with reference to Figures 1a-1d and Figures 2c-2d, the abnormality handling device 104 sends a control signal according to the power supply abnormality information, and sends the control signal to the parameter adjustment device/module of the system 1 through the transceiver unit 106b, so that the system can pass the temperature The parameter adjustment devices/modules of adjustment 211, voltage adjustment 212, load performance adjustment 213, current adjustment 214, and power consumption adjustment 215 adjust the corresponding working parameters of the system to prevent the system 1 from restarting or shutting down due to abnormal power supply. The abnormal power supply information includes various examples of abnormal power supply information listed in the foregoing description of FIGS. 1a-1d and 2a.

In some embodiments, various power supply abnormalities or combinations of abnormalities in the system can be adjusted by one or more adjustment devices/modules. For example, when the temperature is abnormal and the temperature is too high, you can reduce the system load, reduce the operating frequency, reduce the operating voltage, limit the system power consumption, or trigger the system to cool down physically; when the temperature is too low, you can increase the system load and change Working frequency, increasing working voltage, increasing system power consumption, can also trigger the system to physically heat up.

In some embodiments, according to the phenomenon that the voltage is too low on the power supply side, the abnormality processing unit 1042 sends a control signal to reduce the operating frequency of the load side of the system 1 and then reduce the operating voltage of the load side. The amplitude of reducing the frequency and voltage is preset according to the working requirements of the system. For example, frequency reduction and voltage reduction can be performed for large load modules on the load side, such as CPU, GPU, multimedia, AI processor, etc., and voltage reduction is performed after the frequency reduction is completed.

In some embodiments, according to the phenomenon of excessive current, excessive power consumption, or excessive current and power consumption on the power supply side, the abnormality processing unit 1042 may also issue a reduction in the operating frequency of the load side of the system 1, and then reduce the load side The control signal of the working voltage.

In some embodiments, the abnormality processing unit 1042 may send a variety of control signals according to the phenomenon of low temperature on the power supply side and/or the load side, including: increasing the output voltage of the power supply side, reducing the operating frequency of the load side, and increasing the power supply side. Increase the output voltage and reduce the operating frequency on the load side, and/or increase the temperature on the load side.

In some embodiments, according to the phenomenon of excessively high temperature on the power supply side and/or the load side, the abnormality processing unit 1042 may send various control signals, including: reducing the operating frequency of the load side and then reducing the operating voltage of the load side, and/or Reduce the temperature on the load side.

In the illustrated embodiment, the increase and decrease of the frequency and voltage can be implemented by transmitting the control signal to the processor 142, or can be implemented by directly transmitting the control signal to the CRG 144 and the power management unit 12. The temperature increase and decrease are implemented by transmitting control signals to the processor 142.

In some embodiments, the above-mentioned various power supply abnormalities may be prioritized, and the power supply abnormalities may be further processed according to the priority. In some examples, the priority from high to low is as follows: overcurrent and/or excessive power consumption abnormalities, this scenario often occurs during normal work, and the probability of occurrence is the greatest; undervoltage abnormalities, this scenario is when the power supply voltage is low (For example, when the battery voltage is low), it has a relatively large impact on the system; high temperature is abnormal, this scenario requires the system to work under high load for a certain period of time, which causes the temperature to rise, and the temperature rise time is from a few hundred milliseconds to the second The speed of voltage, current, and power consumption changes is slow; the last is low temperature abnormality. This scenario generally occurs when the ambient temperature changes, and the working temperature drops from normal temperature to low temperature for at least seconds.

By adopting a variety of power supply exception handling methods, and combining the application of power supply exception handling methods based on multiple conditions, the power supply protection device can improve the ability of the power supply protection device to handle power supply exceptions in complex work scenarios, and achieve low temperature, low voltage, and high current scenarios. The system of the equipment maintains lower voltage operation without shutting down.

In some embodiments, the method 300 is implemented on an electronic device, for example, on the system 1 as shown in FIGS. 1a-1d. In some embodiments, some or all of the method 500 is implemented on the power management unit 12, the power supply protection device 10, and/or the system on chip 14 as shown in FIGS. 1a-1d. In some embodiments, different components of the power supply protection device 10, the abnormality detection device 102, and/or the abnormality processing device 104 implement different blocks or other parts of the method 300.

In block 306, optionally, the power supply abnormality information is encoded and decoded.

In block 308, a control signal is generated to reduce the frequency of the load-side device of the electronic equipment, and then reduce the output voltage of the power-supply-side device according to the power supply abnormal information indicating that the power supply side device in the working state of the electronic device is under-voltage.

In block 310, a control signal is sent to a parameter adjuster of at least one of the power supply side device and the load side device.

In some implementations, the control signal can be transmitted to the CRG 144 and the power management unit 12 through the hardware connection. After the CRG 144 receives the control signal, it will respond to heavy load modules such as CPU, GPU, multimedia, AI processor, etc. on the load side. Perform frequency reduction processing. The power management unit 12 receives the control signal and reduces the output voltage after the frequency reduction is completed, thereby reducing the working voltage of the heavy load module. Among them, the amplitude of reducing the frequency and voltage is preset according to the working requirements of the system.

The hardware connection directly sends control signals to the CRG 144 and the power management unit 12 to handle the power supply abnormality, which can achieve rapid response to the power supply abnormality. For example, directly using the CRG 144 frequency reduction can achieve a response speed of nanoseconds, and the power management unit 12 can achieve a response speed of microseconds.

In some embodiments, the control signal may be transmitted to the processor 142, and the processor 142 executes an interrupt after receiving the control signal, and then invokes the power supply control application of the system to reduce the frequency of the load module and reduce the output voltage of the power management unit 12.

In some different embodiments, when an undervoltage abnormality occurs, it can be further determined whether the difference between the input/output voltage of the undervoltage of the power management unit 12 and the shutdown voltage threshold of the power management unit 12 is greater than a predetermined value. Greater than the predetermined value, it can be considered that the margin between the undervoltage input/output voltage and the shutdown voltage threshold is large, and the shutdown risk is low; if the difference is less than the predetermined value, it can be considered that the input/output voltage and the shutdown voltage threshold are different The margin is small and the shutdown risk is high. The predetermined value can be preset by factors such as system work requirements and work environment.

In some examples, when an abnormal undervoltage phenomenon occurs, if the difference between the input/output voltage of the power management unit 12 and the shutdown voltage threshold of the power management unit 12 is greater than the predetermined value, the control signal may be transmitted to the processor 142, The processor 142 executes an interrupt after receiving the control signal, and then calls the power supply control application of the system to reduce the frequency of the load module and reduce the output voltage of the power management unit 12. If the difference is less than the predetermined value, the control signal can be transmitted to the CRG 144 and the power management unit 12 through the hardware connection. After the CRG 144 receives the control signal, it will affect the load side such as CPU, GPU, multimedia, AI processor, etc. The load module performs frequency reduction processing. The power management unit 12 receives the control signal and reduces the output voltage after the frequency reduction is completed, thereby reducing the working voltage of the heavy load module.

By further setting multiple conditions for power supply abnormality processing, it is possible to improve the power supply protection device's ability to handle power supply abnormalities in complex work scenarios.

In some examples, if the difference between the input/output voltage of the power management unit 12 and the shutdown voltage threshold of the power management unit 12 is less than the predetermined value, the control signal can be first transmitted to the CRG 144 and the power management unit 12 through the hardware connection. After the corresponding frequency reduction and voltage reduction operations are completed, the control signal can also be transmitted to the processor 142, and the system can be further reduced in frequency and voltage through the power supply control application.

When the shutdown risk is high, by combining the above two exception handling methods, the system can be effectively prevented from shutting down without affecting the operation of the system as much as possible.
