Description

电源管理电路、芯片和设备 技术领域
本申请涉及电源电路技术领域,尤其涉及一种电源管理电路、芯片和设备。
背景技术
在电源管理集成电路当中,通常需要多个输出电压分别对相应的模块进行供电,例如,手机中对其内的MCU、音频集成电路(integrated circuit,简称IC)、输入/输出I/O供电等等,而多个不同模块所需的供电电压是不同的。因而,需要多路输出才能满足使用的需求。但通常情况下,一个电压转换电路只有一路输出,那么要对不同电压需求的多个模块进行供电的话,也就需要多个电压转换电路才能满足需求。为了提高电路的集成程度、降低成本,单电感多输出电路便应运而生了。现有的单电感多输出电路DC-DC电路,以单电感双输出(Single Inductor Dual Output,简称SIDO)降压式变换电路(BUCK)为例,SIDO Buck的方案主要包括断续导电模式(Discontinuous Conduction Mode,DCM)的SIDO BUCK和连续导电模式(Continuous Conduction Mode,CCM)的SIDO BUCK两种。其中CCM模式的SIDO BUCK适用于更宽的负载范围,其结构也更加复杂、需要考虑输出交叉影响。在轻载应用中,DCM模式的SIDO BUCK以其结构简单、无输出交叉影响的特点而被更广泛的使用。
在DCM模式的SIDO BUCK中,通常采用固定导通时间的控制模式,即每个周期内功率管的导通时间固定,这使得SIDO的电感电流峰值由实时的输入输出电压被动决定。而电感电流的峰值大小直接决定了SIDO BUCK的输出纹波的大小并一定程度影响工作效率。

具体实施方式
为使本申请实施例的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚,下面将结合本申请实施例中的附图,对本申请实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述,显然,所描述的实施例是本申请一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于本申请中的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在没有作出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例,都属于本申请保护的范围。

相关技术的SIDO电路中,通常采用固定导通时间的控制模式,即每个 周期内功率管的导通时间固定,这使得SIDO的电感电流峰值由实时的输入输出电压被动决定。而电感电流的峰值电流大小直接决定了SIDO的输出纹波的大小并一定程度影响工作效率。而且由于SIDO节省了电感使用数量却增加了功率管数量,其工作效率通常低于传统单电感单输出的DC-DC架构。
如上所述,如何对电感电流进行有效控制成为本申请亟待解决的技术问题。为了解决该技术问题,本申请提供一种电源管理电路、芯片和设备。
本申请中通过电流控制电路对功率级电路的电流进行有效控制,并通过引入逻辑控制电路控制该电源管理电路是否进入待机模式,降低功耗,而且该逻辑控制电路中引入的两段延迟时间辅助无时钟控制,使得无时钟下电路的可靠性较高。
该电源管理电路可以应用于电子设备的电源管理芯片中,其中,电子设备例如包括手机、平板电脑、可穿戴设备、笔记本电脑等终端设备,电源管理电路可以用于给电子设备中不同的负载(例如MCU、音频IC、I/O等)供电,可节约电源管理芯片外的元器件体积。
本申请实施例中的功率级电路的电流指的是功率级电路中包括的电感的电流,功率级电路的电流峰值指的是功率级电路中包括的电感的电流峰值。
本申请以下实施例中结合图示以电源管理电路具有两个输出端分别输出不同电压为例进行说明。
图1为本申请一实施例提供的电源管理电路的结构示意图,如图1所示,该电源管理电路,包括:
电流控制电路、逻辑控制电路和功率级电路;
其中,功率级电路连接至电源V IN;功率级电路包括至少一个输出端(图1中以两个输出端V OUT1、V OUT2为例),各个输出端分别用于输出电压,在具有多个输出端时,用于输出电压向不同的电路模块供电;
电流控制电路,连接至电源V IN、逻辑控制电路和至少一个输出端,并接收从功率级电路输出的各个输出电压,电流控制电路用于根据各个输出电压以及所述逻辑控制电路输出的第一控制信号检测功率级电路的电流,并在所述电流达到预设峰值后输出第二控制信号至逻辑控制电路;
逻辑控制电路,连接至所述至少一个输出端,逻辑控制电路用于根据各个输出电压向电流控制电路输出第一控制信号,所述第一控制信号用于所述 电流控制电路开启对功率级电路的电流的检测,逻辑控制电路根据所述电流控制电路输出的第二控制信号输出第三控制信号至所述功率级电路,以将所述功率级电路的电流峰值控制到预设峰值。
其中,功率级电路例如可以是单电感多输出电路,以下通过单电感双输出电路进行举例说明。
具体的,逻辑控制电路分别将功率级电路的输出端V OUT1和V OUT2与参考电压V REF1和V REF2进行比较,若V OUT1或V OUT2任意一路低于对应的参考电压,逻辑控制电路控制与电流控制电路连接的输出端LOOP_EN输出第一控制信号,该第一控制信号可以是一个跳变信号,例如输出端LOOP_EN原为低电平,则输出高电平,电流控制电路进入工作状态;同时,当V OUT1或V OUT2任意一路低于对应的参考电压时,逻辑控制电路控制与功率级电路连接的输出端Dn输出第三控制信号,该第三控制信号可以是一个跳变信号,例如输出端原为低电平,则输出高电平,驱动功率级电路,使得功率级电路中的电流缓慢上升,电流控制电路检测该电流的电流值,当电流值到达预设峰值后输出端CS_OUT输出第二控制信号到逻辑控制电路,逻辑控制电路根据接收到的第二控制信号通过与功率级电路连接的输出端Dn输出第三控制信号控制功率级电路,使得电流缓慢下降,从而实现对功率级电路中电流峰值的控制。
其中,预设峰值可根据输出纹波以及输出电压等需求预先确定,例如峰值越大可能导致输出纹波越大,但若减小功率级电路的电流峰值则会影响输出电压的大小,从而影响电源管理电路的工作效率,在实际应用中,可根据实际需求确定预设峰值使得输出纹波以及电源管理电路的工作效率达到一定的平衡。
对于功率级电路的各个输出端,可用于给不同的供电模块进行供电,例如可输出不同的电压,可通过各个输出端对应的参考电压进行控制,各个输出端的电压一般被控制在对应的参考电压,在其他实施例中,各个输出端也可输出相同的电压,本申请实施例对此并不限定。
在一实施例中,各个输出端对应的预设峰值相同,在其他实施例中各个输出端对应的预设峰值也可不同,本申请实施例对此并不限定。
进一步的,预设峰值也可根据电路实际运行情况进行调节,电流控制电 路可通过对该电流控制电路中的部分参数进行调节,从而实现对预设峰值的调节。
本实施例的电路,通过电流控制电路和逻辑控制电路实现了对功率级电路的电流峰值的控制,使得功率级电路的输出纹波与效率可以通过电流峰值的控制来达到较好的平衡,通过将电流峰值控制到预设峰值可减小输出纹波并提高电路的工作效率。
进一步的,相关技术中需要基于时钟模块的输出来实现SIDO,即存在需要常开的耗电模块(时钟模块),这使得待机模式下SIDO电路的功耗受限于时钟模块。而本申请中为了减少功耗可采用如下的电路结构:在图1所示实施例的基础上,如图2所示,电流控制电路,包括:
峰值电流控制电路和电流过零检测电路;
其中,峰值电流控制电路的输出端用于输出所述第二控制信号至所述逻辑控制电路,电流过零检测电路的输出端用于输出第四控制信号至逻辑控制电路,所述逻辑控制电路根据所述第四控制信号输出第五控制信号至所述功率级电路,以控制所述功率级电路的输出;
所述峰值电流控制电路的输入端分别连接所述电源V IN、所述逻辑控制电路的第一输出端LOOP_EN和第二输出端D1,所述电流过零检测电路的输入端分别连接所述功率级电路和所述逻辑控制电路的第一输出端LOOP_EN,其中,所述第一输出端用于输出所述第一控制信号,所述第二输出端用于输出所述第三控制信号至所述峰值电流控制电路和所述功率级电路,所述峰值电流控制电路根据所述第三控制信号输出所述第二控制信号,所述功率级电路根据所述第三控制信号将所述电流峰值控制到预设峰值。
其中,峰值电流控制电路的输出端CS_OUT输出第二控制信号,电流过零检测电路的输出端ZCD_OUT输出第四控制信号。
电流过零检测电路用于检测功率级电路的电流是否到零,若降到零,则输出端ZCD_OUT输出第四控制信号,使得功率级电路的输出端的功率管关断,停止输出。具体的,输出端ZCD_OUT的第四控制信号输出到逻辑控制电路,逻辑控制电路根据所述第四控制信号输出第五控制信号使得功率级电路的输出端的功率管关断,图2中逻辑控制电路的输出端Dx输出第五控制信号。此时,图1中输出端Dn为图2中第二输出端D1。
峰值电流控制电路用于控制功率级电路的电流的峰值,具体的,逻辑控制电路分别将功率级电路的输出端V OUT1和V OUT2与参考电压V REF1和V REF2进行比较,若V OUT1或V OUT2任意一路低于对应的参考电压,逻辑控制电路控制的第二输出端D1输出第三控制信号,该第三控制信号可以是一个跳变信号,例如第二输出端D1原为低电平,则输出高电平,即从逻辑控制电路的第二输出端D1输出的第三控制信号上升沿来临时,功率级电路的功率管导通,功率级电路的电流上升,峰值电流控制电路根据第三控制信号对功率级电路输出的电流的电流值进行检测当该电流的电流值达到预设峰值(VREF)后峰值电流控制电路使得输出端CS_OUT输出的第二控制信号置高,进而使得逻辑控制电路的第二输出端D1输出的第三控制信号变为低电平,第三控制信号输入至功率级电路,控制功率级电路的输入端的功率管关断,使得功率级电路的电流下降,从而实现了对峰值电流的控制。
本申请实施例中在电流下降过程中,电流控制电路还可以持续检测功率级电路中电流的电流值,当该电流的电流值降到零时,电流控制电路的输出端ZCD_OUT输出第四控制信号到逻辑控制电路,逻辑控制电路根据输出端ZCD_OUT的第四控制信号输出第五控制信号控制功率级电路关断(即功率级电路中输出控制单元的功率管关断,此时功率级电路中输入控制单元的功率管也是关断的),同时,逻辑控制电路控制电流控制电路进入待机状态节省功耗,例如将与电流控制电路连接的第一输出端LOOP_EN从高电平变为低电平,从而使得电流控制电路进入待机状态。上述方案实现了电源管理电路无需引入时钟信号的低功耗方案,在进入待机状态下整体的功耗大幅降低,此时功率级电路中功率管不工作,电流控制电路不工作,因此功耗较少,而现有的方案中如果在待机状态下关闭时钟模块,则无法控制功率级电路中功率管的导通,因此无论在正常工作还是待机状态均无法关闭时钟模块,时钟模块所产生的损耗将使得电路的功耗远大于本申请实施例的电路。
在一实施例中,如图3所示,是一种实施例的电源管理电路的电路结构图,其与图2所示的电源管理电路大致相同,不同之处主要在于功率级电路可以采用以下具体结构:

在一实施例中,如图14所示,第三子控制电路,包括:
第二逻辑单元、第三逻辑单元、逻辑控制单元、第一延时单元和第一输出控制单元;
其中,第二逻辑单元的第一输入端DOWN_IN连接所述第一延时单元的输出端,第二逻辑单元的第二输入端UP_IN和第一延时单元的输入端分别连接电流过零检测电路的输出端ZCD_OUT,分别接收电流过零检测电路的输出端ZCD_OUT输出的所述第四控制信号;

如图15所示,ZCD_OUT的上升沿将控制LOOP_EN输出低电平,此时电路中电流控制模块和逻辑控制模块进入待机的低功耗状态;当CMP_OUT1和CMP_OUT2至少有一个为高电平时,输出LOOP_EN变为高电平,此时环路重新工作。由于R1和C1产生的T1延时的存在,ZCD_OUT的上升沿到 来后的T1时间内,LOOP_EN被钳位到低电平,这个时段内无论CMP_OUT1以及CMP_OUT2的情况如何,电源管理电路会强制进入待机状态一段时间,这个设计是为了防止重载下环路在无时钟控制下连续工作产生逻辑错误,提高控制逻辑的可靠性。
进一步的,当LOOP_EN翻高后,经过R2和C2产生的T2延时后,D1和D2翻高,功率管开启,T2延迟是为了给峰值电流控制电路足够的启动时间,以保障峰值电流控制的准确度。此外,D1和D2的下降沿分别由CS_OUT和ZCD_OUT的上升沿控制。
图16为逻辑控制电路的工作波形,主要的工作逻辑为,D1和D2的上升沿由ZCD_OUT、CMP_OUT1和CMP_OUT2共同决定,其中ZCD_OUT保障了每个工作周期电感电流降至零;由于引入了T1和T2延迟,每两个D1或D2的上升沿之间至少间隔T1+T2的时长,限制了最大工作频率<1/(T1+T2)。
图16中当CMP_OUT1由低翻转至高时,T1之后LOOP_EN翻高(由于ZCD_OUT的上升沿到来后的T1时间内,LOOP_EN被钳位到低电平),逻辑控制电路控制D1与D2变为高电平(延迟T2)。D1和D2的下降沿分别由CS_OUT和ZCD_OUT的上升沿控制,其中CS_OUT控制D1下降沿使得功率管M1关闭,间接控制了电流峰值;ZCD_OUT控制功率M3或M4关闭,防止电流反流。对于CMP_OUT2的情况类似,此处不再赘述。
