Description
技术领域technical field
本实用新型属于线性电源技术,具体为一种双环低压差线性稳压器(LDO)电路,它可以改善LDO电路动态性能。The utility model belongs to the linear power supply technology, specifically a double-loop low-dropout linear regulator (LDO) circuit, which can improve the dynamic performance of the LDO circuit.
背景技术Background technique
随着电子技术高速发展,电子产品需要更高性能的电源系统供电。LDO电路凭借其电路结构简单,占用芯片面积小,低噪音、高纹波抑制等优点,而被广泛应用在锂电池充电、低压数字电路电源等场合下。为了适应电源市场的发展需要,良好的系统稳定性和负载瞬态性能成为线性电源技术的重点研究方向。With the rapid development of electronic technology, electronic products require higher performance power supply systems. LDO circuit is widely used in lithium battery charging, low-voltage digital circuit power supply and other occasions due to its simple circuit structure, small chip area occupation, low noise, high ripple suppression and other advantages. In order to meet the development needs of the power supply market, good system stability and load transient performance have become the key research direction of linear power supply technology.
高精度LDO电路需要采用高增益的误差放大器来满足需要,而高增益就需要频率补偿,以便保证电路的稳定性能。但是电路的性能越高,所需误差放大器的增益就越高,需要的补偿强度就越大,时常就要牺牲电路的动态性能,来满足要求。多种频率补偿方案被用于提供稳定性,例如Miller补偿,嵌套Miller环,以及可能成为一部分补偿的芯片外或晶粒外大负载电容。这些方法虽然可以实现电路稳定工作时的频率补偿,但是都或多或少的牺牲了LDO电路的动态性能。这样就对补偿方案提出了进一步的限制。A high-precision LDO circuit needs to use a high-gain error amplifier to meet the needs, and high-gain requires frequency compensation to ensure the stable performance of the circuit. However, the higher the performance of the circuit, the higher the gain of the required error amplifier, and the greater the compensation strength required, and often the dynamic performance of the circuit must be sacrificed to meet the requirements. Various frequency compensation schemes are used to provide stability, such as Miller compensation, nested Miller loops, and possibly off-chip or off-die bulk load capacitance as part of the compensation. Although these methods can achieve frequency compensation when the circuit works stably, they more or less sacrifice the dynamic performance of the LDO circuit. This places further constraints on compensation schemes.
图1描绘了一种现有技术的典型LDO电路及其频率补偿单元。典型LDO电路工作原理是比较输出的采样信号VFB与基准电压VREF,经放大后调节输出电压VOUT达到预设值。为了减小稳态误差,电路采用三级电路,包括误差放大器1、第二级放大器2、功率管3对误差信号进行放大。多级放大电路会带入过多的极点,导致过大的相移,造成相位裕度严重不够,系统稳定很难。图1中采用补偿单元4和输出电容6来引入零点,从而补偿电路中过多的极点。高精度的LDO电路常需要大型或很复杂的补偿元件,使系统稳定。例如,通过加大输出电容6,来实现补偿。这样,就会使系统的动态响应受到影响,很难取得精度和动态响应都最佳的补偿方法。FIG. 1 depicts a typical LDO circuit and its frequency compensation unit in the prior art. The working principle of a typical LDO circuit is to compare the output sampling signal V FB with the reference voltage V REF , and adjust the output voltage V OUT to a preset value after amplification. In order to reduce the steady-state error, the circuit adopts a three-stage circuit, including an

图3描绘了双环LDO电路中组成第二个环路的前馈放大器AMP2的示例性电路,它具有结构简单,动态补偿LDO电路的特点。前馈放大器8包括第一、第二PMOS管81、82、第一至第三电流源负载83、84和85、共源放大管86和前馈放大器输出级87。前馈放大器8主体部分是电流镜结构作比较,在输出端接了一个共源放大管86作有源负反馈。这样放大器的小信号增益主要由共源放大管86决定,为共源放大增益级。其具体连接为,第一PMOS管81的栅极和漏极相接,下接第一电流源负载83的正端,然后再连接第二PMOS管82的栅极;第一PMOS管81的源极接LDO的输出电压VOUT。第二PMOS管82源端接采样管11的漏端,同时上接第三电流源负载85的负端;漏端连接共源放大管86的栅极,同时连接第二电流源负载84的正端和前馈放大器输出级87的电阻R的上端。第一、第二电流源负载83、84负端都接地。第三电流源负载85的正端接VDD,与上拉驱动管9漏端所接电源相同可直接接入LDO输入电压VIN,或者LDO功率管3的衬底电位。第三电流源负载85是为了保证前馈放大器电路在轻载或空载时仍能正常工作而引入的最小支路电流保障。前馈放大器输出级87包括电阻R3,MOS管电容N1,连接成一阶低通滤波网络,用以过滤掉放大器响应负载阶跃变化时产生的高频扰动。其中MOS电容N1可看作栅极为上极板,源漏为下极板的电容;电阻R3上端接第二PMOS管82的漏极和共源放大管86的栅极,以及第二电流源负载84的正端;电阻R3的下端输出OUT2,同时连接MOS管电容N1管的栅极。MOS管电容N1管的源漏直接接地。图3所示电路中的LDO电路是为了便于说明采样管11连接而列出来的。Figure 3 depicts an exemplary circuit of the feed-forward amplifier AMP2 that constitutes the second loop in the dual-loop LDO circuit, which has the characteristics of a simple structure and dynamic compensation LDO circuit. The
图2中,前馈放大器8的工作过程可以分成两部分来看,一部分假设负载电流不变,前馈放大器响应输出电压的变化;另一部分输出电压不变,前馈放大器响应负载电流的变化。当负载电流不变,即前馈放大器8的正向输入端可视为参考基准,输出电压VOUT变化(假设变大),前馈放大器8输出变低,下拉驱动管10下拉能力下降,功率管3栅极电位升高,调节输出VOUT下降,形成负反馈回路稳定输出;当输出电压VOUT不变,即放大器负向输入端可视为参考基准,负载电流ILOAD变化(假设需要变大),放大器输出变高,下拉驱动管10下拉能力增强,功率管3栅极电位下降,调节输出电流ILOAD增加,形成正反馈回路,加速电路的动态响应。以上两部分在实际中是交错参杂、相互影响的。In FIG. 2 , the working process of the
在现有技术的图1中显示了典型的LDO电路的频率补偿技术,它采用了补偿单元4,与负载电容6一起完成频率补偿功能。在此典型的现有技术的情况下,LDO电路的零极点如下。主极点PO是由负载电容6和LDO功率管3的导通电阻产生,由下式给出:FIG. 1 of the prior art shows a typical frequency compensation technology of an LDO circuit, which uses a
误差放大器1和第二级放大器之间的极点如下:The pole between
式中,REQ为两级之间连接点的对地等效电阻,一般主要是前一级误差放大器1的输出电阻加上第二级放大器2的输入等效电阻之和;CEQ为该节点的对地等效电容,主要是补偿电容加上第二级的输入电容。In the formula, R EQ is the equivalent resistance to ground of the connection point between the two stages, which is generally the sum of the output resistance of the previous
通常极点PB会和主极点PO比较接近,需要补偿来抵消极点的影响。于是,就会在图1所示电路中补偿两个零点,分别为:Usually the pole P B will be relatively close to the main pole P O , and compensation is required to offset the influence of the pole. Therefore, two zero points will be compensated in the circuit shown in Figure 1, which are:
补偿单元4引入的零点由式(3)给出,其中GM是第二级的等效跨导,CB为补偿采用的电容。与负载电容相关的补偿零点由式4给出,其中CL是负载电容6,RESR是其串联等效电阻。The zero point introduced by the
本申请的图由图2给出,图1中电路对应称为;其他相同结构单元顺次标注。在图2所示的双环结构中,对电路稳定有特别贡献的是快慢两条通路,第一条是与图一所示相同、高增益的慢通路;另一条是本申请中重点说明的低增益快通路。通过快慢两条通路作用,引入一个零点进系统,这就是本申请中双环结构补偿电路的基本原理。其补偿的零点通过图3所示电路计算得到。The figure of this application is given by Figure 2, and the circuit in Figure 1 is called correspondingly; other identical structural units are marked sequentially. In the double-loop structure shown in Figure 2, two pathways, the fast and the slow, make a special contribution to the stability of the circuit. The first is the slow pathway with the same high gain as shown in Figure 1; the other is the low Gain fast path. Through the action of the fast and slow paths, a zero-point entry system is introduced, which is the basic principle of the double-loop structure compensation circuit in this application. The zero point of its compensation is calculated by the circuit shown in Figure 3.
由式(5)给出的前馈放大器8的输出阻抗为RAMP2,closed,因为8内部具有负反馈回路,因此其增益、输出电阻都只由共源放大管86决定。双环结构补偿的零点由式(6)给出,C87为MOS电容N1,C10为前馈放大器8输出控制的下拉驱动管10的栅极输入电容。实际中引入的应该是一对零-极点,只是零点比极点更靠近坐标原点,通过设置零点在单位增益带宽附近,可以将极点设置在带宽范围外,这样极点对电路的影响就可以忽略。The output impedance of the
因此,这里就只给出了零点公式。此外,式(6)零点公式中有gm86项,它与采样管11采样的负载电流是有直接关系的,也就是说这里补偿的零点Zdual,loop是动态的补偿系统。通常,采用双环结构的LDO电路的环路频率分析,可以接近单极点稳定系统,相位裕度接近90度。Therefore, only the zero-point formula is given here. In addition, there is a g m86 term in the zero point formula of formula (6), which is directly related to the load current sampled by the sampling tube 11, that is to say, the zero point Z dual and loop compensated here is a dynamic compensation system. Usually, the loop frequency analysis of the LDO circuit with double-loop structure can be close to a single-pole stable system, and the phase margin is close to 90 degrees.
这里已经在一个实施例的情况下说明了本实用新型的实现。所说明的实施例提供了一个双环结构的LDO电路,它具有快慢两条负反馈回路,一条是由高增益误差放大器,控制功率管栅极驱动上拉网络,进而控制输出,提供一个稳定电压的慢通路;另一条是由较低增益的放大器,比较输出电压和负载电流的采样信号,控制功率管栅极驱动下拉网络,进而稳定输出的快通路。这两条快慢通路对小信号的响应,会引入一个零点,对系统进行频率补偿。再加上电路另外两处补偿,可以使电路的频率响应接近单极点系统的频率响应,极好地稳定电路。同时通过附加的第二环路还形成了一个正反馈的环路,响应负载的阶跃变化,极大的改善了电路的瞬态响应。同时从大信号讲,当负载或电源阶跃变化时,输出电压会立刻有一个负向的跳变,此时双环电路中快通路首先响应改阶跃变化,然后慢通路也开始调节电路;当响应进行一段时间,快通路的调节效果下降,慢通路将起主要的调节作用,最终由慢通路的高增益实现电路的高精度,即非常低的稳态误差。The implementation of the invention has been described here in the context of an exemplary embodiment. The illustrated embodiment provides an LDO circuit with a double-loop structure, which has two negative feedback loops, fast and slow. One is a high-gain error amplifier, which controls the power transistor gate to drive the pull-up network, and then controls the output to provide a stable voltage. The slow path; the other is a fast path that uses a lower-gain amplifier to compare the sampling signals of the output voltage and load current, and controls the gate drive pull-down network of the power transistor to stabilize the output. The response of these two fast and slow paths to small signals will introduce a zero point to perform frequency compensation on the system. Coupled with the other two compensations in the circuit, the frequency response of the circuit can be close to that of a single-pole system, and the circuit is excellently stabilized. At the same time, a positive feedback loop is formed through the additional second loop to respond to the step change of the load, which greatly improves the transient response of the circuit. At the same time, from a large signal point of view, when the load or power step changes, the output voltage will immediately have a negative jump. At this time, the fast path in the double-loop circuit first responds to the step change, and then the slow path also starts to adjust the circuit; when After a period of response, the adjustment effect of the fast path will decline, and the slow path will play a major role in regulation. Finally, the high gain of the slow path will realize the high precision of the circuit, that is, a very low steady-state error.
在实际的实现电路中,LDO电路还应该包括保护单元和接口元件,例如过温保护,短路电流限制等保护单元。In the actual implementation circuit, the LDO circuit should also include protection units and interface components, such as over-temperature protection, short-circuit current limit and other protection units.
这些实施例意在说明而不是限制。许多变体、修改、添加和改进都是可能的。These examples are intended to be illustrative, not limiting. Many variations, modifications, additions and improvements are possible.
