图7为本申请的第三实施例的供电电路的示意图。
具体实施方式
下面结合本发明实施例附图进一步说明本发明实施例具体实现。图1为相关技术的低压差线性稳压器的示意图。图1的LDO包括误差放大器和输出级电路。输出级电路由功率管、反馈网络和负载(CL和RL)组成。反馈网络中包括串联的电阻Rf1和电阻Rf2。其中,反馈网络的一端接地,另一端与输出级电路的功率管的输出端(也可以称为输出节点)连接,功率管的输出端同时也作为输出级电路的输出端。误差放大器的反馈端连接在电阻Rf1和电阻Rf2之间。误差放大器的输出端连接到功率管的输入端(栅极)。当输出级负载变化令其产生的输出电压变化时,反馈端的电压相应地变化,从而经由误差放大器引起功率管的输出端的变化,即,当输出级负载变化会产生输出电压Vout的(瞬间上升)上冲与(瞬间下降)下冲时,通过基于误差放大器的反馈回路进行稳压,使得输出电压Vout稳定。
图2为本申请的第一实施例的低压差线性稳压器的示意图。图2的低压差线性稳压器包括输出级电路210和误差放大器220。
输出级电路210包括输出节点211以及与输出节点211对应的反馈节点212和采样节点213。输出节点211用于提供低压差线性稳压器的输出电压。误差放大器220包括彼此连接的第一级电路221和第二级电路222。
第一级电路221与采样节点213连接,用于接收采样节点213的采样信号,并且对采样节点213的采样信号进行反馈放大,输入到第二级电路222,以形成输出电压的第一负反馈。第二级电路222与反馈节点连接,用于将输出电压的第一负反馈输出到反馈节点。第二级电路222还与输出节点211连接,用于接收输出电压的信号,以形成输出电压的第二负反馈,并且通过与反馈节点212的连接,将输出电压的第二负反馈输出到反馈节点212。
在本发明实施例的方案中,在本发明实施例的方案中,第一级电路对输出节点对应的采样节点的采样信号进行反馈放大,输入到第二级电路,并且第 二级电路将输出电压的第一负反馈输出到所述反馈节点,有效地通过反馈放大形成的第一负反馈实现了输出电压的低压差稳压。此外,误差放大器中的第二级电路接收输出节点的信号形成第二负反馈,并且将第二负反馈输出到反馈节点,进一步通过第二负反馈实现了输出电压的稳压。
应理解,在本发明实施例中,一方面,对于输出电压的第一负反馈而言,间接地通过输出节点的采样节点的采样信号对输出节点的输出电压进行负反馈。对于输出电压的第二负反馈而言,直接地对输出节点的输出电压进行负反馈。换言之,本发明实施例的负反馈表示对信号进行处理过程,并且通过输出到负反馈节点进行负反馈。另一方面,第一负反馈和第二负反馈是指用于实现负反馈,其可以为实现负反馈通路中电压信号的正相关变动,也可以实现为电压信号的正相关变动。例如,如果从反馈节点到输出节点的通路形成电压信号的正相关变动时,则上述的负反馈表现为负相关变动,以此形成负反馈通路。又例如,如果从反馈节点到输出节点的通路形成电压信号的负相关变动时,则上述的负反馈表现为正相关变动,以此形成负反馈通路。
此外,由于输出节点能够有效地指示输出级负载的输出电压变化,因此误差放大器与输出节点形成的对输出级电路的负反馈提高了瞬态响应的速度,从而无需片外电容即实现了稳压效果。
此外,误差放大器的第一级电路与第二级电路连接,第二级电路与第三级电路(输出级电路)连接,因此实现了较大的静态增益以及环路增益,进而提高了直流精度。应理解,本文中所述的“连接”,在某些可能的情况下可以是“耦接”。
以下结合图3说明一下本发明的一个具体实施例,其中图3的LDO电路中误差放大器包括彼此连接的第一级电路和第二级电路,并连接到第三级进行输出,也就是第三级电路作为LDO电路的输出级电路。其中,第一级电路的输出端与第二级电路的输入端连接,第一级电路的输入端与采样节点连接,第二级电路的输出端与反馈节点连接。输出级电路的还包括输入节点,用于获取低压差线性稳压器的输入电压。
第三级电路可以包括输出功率管M3、等效负载CL、RL,以及Rf1与Rf2 组成的反馈网络。反馈网络的采样节点位于两个串联电阻Rf1与Rf2的连接点。输出功率管M3的源极可以用于直流电源的输入电压。输出功率管M3的漏极可以作为输出节点。输出功率管M3的栅极可以作为第三级电路的输入接第二级电路的输出。第三级电路的输出节点的输出电压Vout可以作为LDO的输出,用于向诸如SoC模块提供稳定的本地电源电压。换言之,诸如电池或经由变换后的直流电源可以经由LDO向SOC模块供电。
此外,作为输入节点的输出功率管M3的源极的输入电压可以为第一级电路和第二级电路提供偏置电压。
第一级电路可以实现为差分放大电路,并接收参考电压VREF和来自输出级电路的采样节点的第一采样节点电压VFB作为第一级的两个输入信号,根据参考电压VREF和第一采样节点电压VFB输出差分放大信号到第二级电路。第一级电路在输入端接收第一采样节点电压VFB,并且在输出端输出上述差分放大信号,形成对第一采样节点电压VFB的正相关变动。
如图3所示,第一级电路在N1点输出差分放大信号,N1可以作为第一级电路的输出端与第二级电路的输入端的连接节点。第二级电路的输出端与输出级电路的反馈节点连接,例如,通过经由N2点连接。应理解,第二级电路的输出端的输出信号与第二级电路在输入端接收的差分放大信号之间呈现正相关变动。输出级电路的反馈节点的输入信号与输出节点的输出信号之间呈现负相关变动。因此,在输出级电路的输出节点的输出电压瞬间下降或瞬间上升时,经由作为差分放大电路的第一级电路,形成第一采样节点电压VFB的正相关变动的差分放大信号,然后经由第二级电路的正相关变动的作用,输入到反馈节点,到达输出节点。从而形成了从采样节点到输出节点的第一负反馈。
作为一个示例,输出级电路包括输出功率管。输出功率管的漏极和栅极分别连接到输出节点和反馈节点,第二级电路与输出功率管组成推挽式快速响应通路,形成第二负反馈。由于采用了推挽式快速响应通路,因此能够增强电路瞬态响应。应理解,本示例中的推挽式快速响应通路可以作为一种内嵌的通路以增强快速响应的性能,另外,推挽式快速响应通路可以采样一个通路实现,也可以采用两个以上的通路来实现。在本示例中,作为快速响应通路的电路, 也是误差放大器(主体电路)的一部分,相比于在实现LDO功能的主体电路之外还包括其他快速响应通路的方案,本示例能够简化电路结构。此外,相比于诸如加入电路元件作为快速响应通路等其他增大快速响应的方案,本示例由于简单独特的结构,保持了电路性能的稳定,避免了电路性能的恶化。
作为一个示例,推挽式快速响应通路可以包括形成第一通路以及第二通路,第二级电路中包括第一场效应管,第一场效应管的源极与输出功率管的漏极连接,第一场效应管的漏极与输出功率管的栅极连接。在第一通路中,通过第一场效应管形成输出功率管的栅极的输入电压关于输出电压的正相关变动,并且通过输出功率管形成输出电压对输入电压的负相关变动。在第二通路中,通过第一级电路与第二级电路之间的连接节点形成输入电压对输出电压的正相关变动,并且通过输出功率管形成输出电压对输入电压的负相关变动。此外,第一级电路可以经由连接节点将第一负反馈输出到反馈节点。本示例采用了上述的简单电路的第一通路和第二通路,实现了推挽效果。此外,第一通路与第二通路都是经由第二级电路的输出端进行反馈,便于电路的功能耦合与分拆等。应连接,在上述的第一通路和/或第二通路中,可以采用诸如直接耦合、电容耦合等任意耦合方式。具体而言,如图3所示,第二级电路还可以包括第一电容Cc和第二电容Cm,本文中也可以被称为反馈电容Cm和反馈电容Cc,或者,补偿电容Cm和补偿电容Cc。第二电容Cm的两端分别接第一级输出与第三级输出(输出节点)。第一电容Cc的两端分别接第一场效应管Mt的源极和第三级输出。由于第二电容和第一电容有利于保证各级电路的静态工作点,因此有利于保证LDO的稳定性,换言之,快速响应通路上的补偿电容Cm和Cc能够优化环路的稳定性。
作为一个示例,第二级电路还可以包括第二场效应管和第一电流镜,通过连接节点连接到第二场效应管的栅极。第二场效应管的漏极产生第一电流镜的输入电流,第一电流镜的输出电流分别流入输出功率管的栅极和第一场效应管的漏极。具体而言,如图3所示,第一通路可以由第一电容Cc、第一场效应管Mt和输出功率管M3组成。第二通路可以由第二电容Cm、第二场效应管M2、作为第一电流镜的场效应管M8和M9、以及输出功率管M3组成。输出功 率管M3的漏极通过第一电容Cc连接到第一场效应管Mt的源极,并且输出功率管M3的漏极通过第二电容Cm形成连接到连接节点(N1点)。第二场效应管M2的栅极可以作为第二级电路的一个输入端连接第一级电路的输出端(N1点)。此外,从第二级电路的输入端到第二级电路的输出端,形成了对第二级电路的输入端的电压的正相关变动,可以采用作为第一电流镜的场效应管M8和M9以及第二场效应管M2构成的结构。具体地,第二场效应管M2的栅极电压变大会引起作为第一电流镜的场效应管M8和M9的共用栅极的电压变小,从而引起作为第一电流镜的场效应管M8和M9的受控输出电流侧的电压变大,从而实现了正相关变化,反之亦然。
应理解,第一场效应管Mt可以为N型MOS管。第二场效应管M2可以为N型MOS管。作为第一电流镜的场效应管M8和M9中的任一场效应管可以为P型MOS管。场效应管M5和M6可以均为N型MOS管。还应理解,文中的场效应管可以为结型场效应管、耗尽型场效应管、增强型场效应管等场效应管。文中的场效应管既可以为N型场效应管,也可以为P型场效应管。应理解,本申请的说明书多处以MOS管(金属氧化物半导体场效应管)为例,对电路的结构及其功能进行了说明,例如,以N型MOS管或P型MOS管为例,对电路的结构及其功能进行了说明;但是本发明实施例还可以采用其他的场效应管或其他元件来实现各种电路的功能。
图4为本申请的第二实施例的低压差线性稳压器中第二负反馈的反馈原理的示意性说明图。如图4所示,从Vout到第一场效应管Mt的源极,形成了对输出电压变化的正相关变动,例如,输出电压变大,第一场效应管Mt的源极的电压变大,第二级电路的输出端的电压(例如,N2点的电压)变大,反之亦然。此外,从Vout到第二级电路的输入端,形成了对输出电压变化的正相关变动,从第二级电路的输入端到第二级电路的输出端,形成了对第二级电路的输入端的电压的正相关变动。输出电压变大,第二场效应管M2的栅极(例如,N1的电压)变大,第二级电路的输出端的电压(例如,N2点的电压)变大,反之亦然。此外,从第二级电路的输入端到第二级电路的输出端,形成了对第二级电路的输入端的电压的正相关变动,可以采用任意的元件与电路结构。在 一个示例中,可以经由一次或多次正相关变动实现,例如,采用两次正相关变动实现。在另一示例中,也可以采用偶数次的负相关变动或任意次数的正相关变动实现,例如,可以相继经由两次负相关变动实现。
作为一个示例,第二级电路还可以包括第三场效应管,第三场效应管的漏极与第一场效应管的源极连接,其中,第一级电路还包括第四场效应管,第一级电路通过第四场效应管的栅极连接到采样节点,第四场效应管的漏极与第三场效应管的栅极连接。此外,第一级电路还可以包括与第四场效应管形成共源极差分对的第五场效应管,连接节点与第五场效应管的漏极连接。具体而言,如图3所示,第一级电路可以包括第四场效应管M1A、第五场效应管M1B以及作为第二电流镜的场效应管M5和M6。其中,第四场效应管M1A和第五场效应管M1B构成了差分放大电路的差分对,VREF可以为输入LDO的参考电压,VB1可以为输入LDO的一个偏置电压。第一级的输出点可以为N1和N1A。第一级电路还可以包括第六场效应管M4,第六场效应管M4的漏极可以与差分对的各自的源极连接,第六场效应管M4的源极可以与偏置电压源连接。第一采样节点电压VFB可以作为第一级电路的输入连接到第四场效应管M1A的栅极。此外,第三场效应管M7的栅极可以作为第二级电路的另一输入端连接第一级电路的输出端(N1A点)。VB2为输入LDO的另一个偏置电压,接第一场效应管Mt的栅端。第二级输出节点为N2。应理解,上述示例的元件及其连接关系仅仅为示例性的,在其他示例中,第二级电路可以具有其他的结构和连接关系。
具体而言,第一级电路还可以包括第二电流镜,第四场效应管的漏极产生第二电流镜的输入电流,第二电流镜的输出电流经过第五场效应管的漏极。第四场效应管经由第二电流镜的共用栅极与第三场效应管连接。具体而言,如图3所示,作为第二电流镜的场效应管M5和M6、以及第三场效应管M7可以产生前馈通路,此前馈通路引入了左半平面的零点,进而优化了相位裕度,改善稳定性。由于第四场效应管的漏极与第三场效应管的栅极连接,形成了前馈通路,因此还可以通过该前馈通路向第三场效应管进行反馈,从而提高了电路的稳定性。此外,由于第四场效应管位于第一级电路,第三场效应管位于第二 级电路,因此该前馈通路能够实现第二级电路对第一级电路的快速响应,提高了LDO的启动速度。例如,在上电过程,第三场效应管M7的栅极电压会快速建立,第三场效应管M7会产生电流,下拉N2点电压,进而使输出功率管M3产生电流,建立输出电压Vout。
图5为本申请的第二实施例的低压差线性稳压器在输出电压的瞬间下降的情况下的工作原理的示意图。如图5所示,在第一通路中,输出节点,经由第一场效应管的源级形成对反馈节点的输入电压的正相关变动,再经由输出功率管完成对输出节点的输出电压的负相关变动。例如,输出节点通过第一电容形成对第一场效应管的源极电压的正相关变动。例如,当Vout电压由于负载变化出现瞬间下降时,在第一通路上,第一场效应管Mt的源极由于反馈电容Cc耦合作用,瞬间电压下降,应理解,针对同一场效应管而言,源极电压与漏极电压具有正相关的变动关系,从而能增大了从N2点抽取的电流,使得N2点电压下降。
此外,在第二通路中,输出节点,经由第二级电路的输入端形成对反馈节点的输入电压的正相关变动,再经由输出功率管完成对输出节点的输出电压的负相关变动。例如,输出节点通过第二电容形成对第二级电路的输入端电压的正相关变动。例如,当Vout电压由于负载变化出现瞬间下降时,在第二通路上,第二场效应管M2的栅极电压由于反馈电容Cm耦合作用,电压瞬间下降,增大了作为第一电流镜的场效应管M8和M9的栅极电压。应理解,针对同一场效应管而言,栅极电压与漏极电压具有负相关的变动关系,从而减小了输入N2点的电流,使得N2点电压下降。从M9输入的电压减小,被第一场效应管Mt抽取的电流增大,呈现文中所述的推挽效果。基于上述技术手段,使得N2点电压下降,相应地N2点电压下降,增大了输出功率管M3电流,从而减缓了Vout的下冲。因此,LDO具备的推挽式快速响应通路,可以减小由LDO输出负载变化引起的下冲。
图6为本申请的第二实施例的低压差线性稳压器在输出电压的瞬间上升的情况下的工作原理的示意图。同理,如图6所示,当Vout电压由于负载变化出现瞬间上升,两条快速响应通路的推挽作用,可以减小LDO输出负载变化 引起的上冲。

第一级电路与采样节点连接,从采样节点接收第一负反馈的输入。第二级电路与反馈节点连接,将第一负反馈输出到反馈节点。第二级电路与输出节点连接,接收输出节点的输出电压的第二负反馈的输入。第二级电路还通过与反馈节点的连接,将第二负反馈输出到反馈节点。
例如,输出级电路可以包括输出功率管,其中,输出节点和反馈节点配置于输出功率管,输出级电路的输入端可以配置与输出功率管。在一个示例中,输出节点可以为输出功率管的漏极,输出级电路的输入端可以为输出功率管的源极,反馈节点可以为输出功率管的栅极。误差放大器的偏置电压源至包括输出级电路的输入端的输入电压。此外,第二级电路与输出功率管可以组成推挽式快速响应通路,推挽式快速响应通路形成第二负反馈。作为输入节点的输出功率管的源极的输入电压可以为第一级电路和第二级电路提供偏置电压。
在本发明实施例的方案中,在本发明实施例的方案中,第一级电路对输出节点对应的采样节点的采样信号进行反馈放大,输入到第二级电路,并且第二级电路将输出电压的第一负反馈输出到所述反馈节点,有效地通过反馈放大形成的第一负反馈实现了输出电压的低压差稳压。此外,误差放大器中的第二级电路接收输出节点的信号形成第二负反馈,并且将第二负反馈输出到反馈节点,进一步通过第二负反馈实现了输出电压的稳压,从而实现了供电电流的稳定的电压输出。

在20世纪90年代,对于一个技术的改进可以很明显地区分是硬件上的改进(例如,对二极管、晶体管、开关等电路结构的改进)还是软件上的改进(对于方法流程的改进)。然而,随着技术的发展,当今的很多方法流程的改进已经可以视为硬件电路结构的直接改进。设计人员几乎都通过将改进的方法流程编程到硬件电路中来得到相应的硬件电路结构。因此,不能说一个方法流程的改进就不能用硬件实体模块来实现。例如,可编程逻辑器件(Programmable Logic Device,PLD)(例如现场可编程门阵列(Field Programmable Gate Array,FPGA))就是这样一种集成电路,其逻辑功能由用户对器件编程来确定。由设计人员自行编程来把一个数字系统“集成”在一片PLD上,而不需要请芯片制造厂商来设计和制作专用的集成电路芯片。而且,如今,取代手工地制作集成电路芯片,这种编程也多半改用“逻辑编译器(logic compiler)”软件来实现,它与程序开发撰写时所用的软件编译器相类似,而要编译之前的原始代码也得用特定的编程语言来撰写,此称之为硬件描述语言(Hardware Description  Language,HDL),而HDL也并非仅有一种,而是有许多种,如ABEL(Advanced Boolean Expression Language)、AHDL(Altera Hardware Description Language)、Confluence、CUPL(Cornell University Programming Language)、HDCal、JHDL(Java Hardware Description Language)、Lava、Lola、MyHDL、PALASM、RHDL(Ruby Hardware Description Language)等,目前最普遍使用的是VHDL(Very-High-Speed Integrated Circuit Hardware Description Language)与Verilog。本领域技术人员也应该清楚,只需要将方法流程用上述几种硬件描述语言稍作逻辑编程并编程到集成电路中,就可以很容易得到实现该逻辑方法流程的硬件电路。
控制器可以按任何适当的方式实现,例如,控制器可以采取例如微处理器或处理器以及存储可由该(微)处理器执行的计算机可读程序代码(例如软件或固件)的计算机可读介质、逻辑门、开关、专用集成电路(Application Specific Integrated Circuit,ASIC)、可编程逻辑控制器和嵌入微控制器的形式,控制器的例子包括但不限于以下微控制器:ARC 625D、Atmel AT91SAM、Microchip PIC18F26K20以及Silicone Labs C8051F320,存储器控制器还可以被实现为存储器的控制逻辑的一部分。本领域技术人员也知道,除了以纯计算机可读程序代码方式实现控制器以外,完全可以通过将方法步骤进行逻辑编程来使得控制器以逻辑门、开关、专用集成电路、可编程逻辑控制器和嵌入微控制器等的形式来实现相同功能。因此这种控制器可以被认为是一种硬件部件,而对其内包括的用于实现各种功能的装置也可以视为硬件部件内的结构。或者甚至,可以将用于实现各种功能的装置视为既可以是实现方法的软件模块又可以是硬件部件内的结构。
上述实施例阐明的系统、装置、模块或单元,具体可以由计算机芯片或实体实现,或者由具有某种功能的产品来实现。一种典型的实现设备为计算机。具体的,计算机例如可以为个人计算机、膝上型计算机、蜂窝电话、相机电话、智能电话、个人数字助理、媒体播放器、导航设备、电子邮件设备、游戏控制台、平板计算机、可穿戴设备或者这些设备中的任何设备的组合。
为了描述的方便,描述以上装置时以功能分为各种单元分别描述。当然, 在实施本申请时可以把各单元的功能在同一个或多个软件和/或硬件中实现。

这些计算机程序指令也可存储在能引导计算机或其他可编程数据处理设备以特定方式工作的计算机可读存储器中,使得存储在该计算机可读存储器中的指令产生包括指令装置的制造品,该指令装置实现在流程图一个流程或多个流程和/或方框图一个方框或多个方框中指定的功能。
这些计算机程序指令也可装载到计算机或其他可编程数据处理设备上,使得在计算机或其他可编程设备上执行一系列操作步骤以产生计算机实现的处理,从而在计算机或其他可编程设备上执行的指令提供用于实现在流程图一个流程或多个流程和/或方框图一个方框或多个方框中指定的功能的步骤。
在一个典型的配置中,计算设备包括一个或多个处理器(CPU)、输入/输出接口、网络接口和内存。
内存可能包括计算机可读介质中的非永久性存储器,随机存取存储器(RAM)和/或非易失性内存等形式,如只读存储器(ROM)或闪存(flash RAM)。内存是计算机可读介质的示例。
计算机可读介质包括永久性和非永久性、可移动和非可移动媒体可以由任何方法或技术来实现信息存储。信息可以是计算机可读指令、数据结构、程 序的模块或其他数据。计算机的存储介质的例子包括,但不限于相变内存(PRAM)、静态随机存取存储器(SRAM)、动态随机存取存储器(DRAM)、其他类型的随机存取存储器(RAM)、只读存储器(ROM)、电可擦除可编程只读存储器(EEPROM)、快闪记忆体或其他内存技术、只读光盘只读存储器(CD-ROM)、数字多功能光盘(DVD)或其他光学存储、磁盒式磁带,磁带磁磁盘存储或其他磁性存储设备或任何其他非传输介质,可用于存储可以被计算设备访问的信息。按照本文中的界定,计算机可读介质不包括暂存电脑可读媒体(transitory media),如调制的数据信号和载波。
还需要说明的是,术语“包括”、“包含”或者其任何其他变体意在涵盖非排他性的包含,从而使得包括一系列要素的过程、方法、商品或者设备不仅包括那些要素,而且还包括没有明确列出的其他要素,或者是还包括为这种过程、方法、商品或者设备所固有的要素。在没有更多限制的情况下,由语句“包括一个……”限定的要素,并不排除在包括所述要素的过程、方法、商品或者设备中还存在另外的相同要素。
本领域技术人员应明白,本申请的实施例可提供为方法、系统或计算机程序产品。因此,本申请可采用完全硬件实施例、完全软件实施例或结合软件和硬件方面的实施例的形式。而且,本申请可采用在一个或多个其中包含有计算机可用程序代码的计算机可用存储介质(包括但不限于磁盘存储器、CD-ROM、光学存储器等)上实施的计算机程序产品的形式。
