Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of integrated circuit design, in particular to a BUCK (BUCK conversion circuit) type LED (light emitting diode) driving chip.
Background
The BUCK type LED driving chip needs a short-circuit protection function to prevent the LED driving chip from being damaged due to a short circuit of an external pin. As shown in fig. 1 to fig. 3, a short-circuit protection circuit is usually disposed inside the BUCK-type LED driving chip, and the short-circuit protection circuit includes a short-circuit protection comparator 11, which detects that the FB output is compared with a fixed reference voltage, and when the FB output is lower than the reference voltage and is maintained for a set time, a metal-oxide-semiconductor (semiconductor) field effect transistor (MOS transistor, or referred to as metal-insulator-semiconductor) M1 is turned on, and the output no longer provides a follow current to VCC, which is pulled down by other internal module currents, and when the VCC is reduced to an under-voltage protection value, the system is restarted. Such a short-circuit protection detection method causes a problem at the time of start-up.
If the LED driving chip is internally provided with no short-circuit protection circuit and has no short-circuit protection function, after the system is powered ON, the bus voltage charges the capacitor of the VCC pin through the starting resistor, when the VCC voltage rises to the starting threshold voltage VCC _ ON, the internal control circuit of the chip starts working, and the COMP voltage is quickly pulled up to the output starting threshold voltage V1. Then the LED driving chip starts to output the pulse signal, the system starts to work at a relatively low switching frequency, the COMP voltage gradually and slowly rises from the starting threshold V1, the peak current of the inductor rises along with the COMP voltage, therefore, the soft starting of the output LED current is realized, and the frequency of the output pulse signal is slowly increased until the LED driving chip normally works.
When the LED driving chip has a short-circuit protection function, after the system is powered ON and started, the bus voltage charges a capacitor of a VCC pin through a starting resistor, when the VCC voltage rises to a starting threshold voltage VCC _ ON, a control circuit in the chip starts working, the COMP voltage is quickly pulled up to an output opening V1, then the chip starts outputting a pulse signal with a lower frequency, and the FB voltage slowly rises along with the output. The FB voltage is lower than the fixed reference voltage value VRS, the output of the SHORT-circuit comparator 11 will open the MOS transistor M1 through the SHORT signal after a period of set time delay Td, VCC discharges through R2 and M1, the VCC voltage gradually drops until the undervoltage protection threshold VCC _ OFF, the undervoltage protection is triggered, the other modules will be turned OFF by the undervoltage protection signal, and the system starts the restart process. When VCC rises to a starting threshold voltage VCC _ ON again, a control circuit in the chip starts to work again, the COMP voltage is quickly pulled up to V1, then the chip starts to output a pulse signal with a lower frequency, the short-circuit protection comparator starts to work again, the FB voltage is still lower than a fixed reference voltage value VRS, the output of the short-circuit comparator 11 is delayed by a set value and then turns ON the MOS tube M1 again, VCC discharges through R2 and M1, the VCC voltage drops to an undervoltage protection threshold value VCC _ OFF again, the undervoltage protection signal turns OFF other modules again, and the system starts a restarting process again. The system is restarted repeatedly, as shown in fig. 3, VCC charges between VCC _ OFF and VCC _ ON repeatedly until FB rises to the fixed reference voltage value VRS, the short-circuit protection comparator 11 no longer pulls down VCC voltage by turning ON M1, and the system starts to operate normally. In this process, the output waveform is intermittent, and the VCC is repeatedly restarted, which not only delays the system starting process and wastes energy, but also increases the system instability and increases the possibility of flashing lights during starting.

Detailed Description
The invention is further illustrated by the following examples, which are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
As shown in fig. 4, a BUCK-type LED driving chip includes an output MOS transistor M8, a short-circuit protection circuit with a short-circuit protection comparator 11, and a start prejudging module 100, where an input signal of the start prejudging module 100 is a gate signal DRN of the output MOS transistor M8, an output signal of the start prejudging module 100 is used to control enabling of the short-circuit protection comparator 11, the start prejudging module 100 is used to control turning off the short-circuit protection comparator 11 when a frequency of the gate signal DRN of the output MOS transistor M8 is lower than a predetermined frequency of 10KHz, and turning on the short-circuit protection comparator 11 when a frequency of the gate signal DRN of the output MOS transistor M8 is greater than or equal to the predetermined frequency of 10 KHz.
As shown in fig. 5, in this embodiment, the start-up anticipation module 100 includes a level preprocessing module 501, a level holding module 502 and a level comparing module 503, where the level holding module 502 includes a charge and discharge control module 5021 and a charge and discharge module 5022. As shown in fig. 6, the level comparing module 503 is a schmitt trigger structure, the charge and discharge control module 5021 includes a PMOS transistor M2 and an NMOS transistor M3, and the charge and discharge module 5022 includes a resistor R1 and a capacitor C1. The level preprocessing module 501 performs level adjustment on the input DRN signal and reversely generates a DRNL signal to be output to the gates of the PMOS transistor M2 and the NMOS transistor M3, the drains of M2 and M3 are electrically connected to R1, the source of M3 is grounded, and the source of M2 is connected to VDD. The other end of the resistor R1 is connected to one end of the C1 to generate a VRC signal as an output signal of the schmitt trigger, which outputs the ENS signal as an enable signal of the short-circuit protection comparator 11.
The specific working process in the starting process of the BUCK type LED driving chip in the embodiment is as follows:
when the BUCK type LED driving chip is started, the frequency is low when a pulse signal is just started to be output, and the duty ratio of the pulse signal is also small. The gate driving signal DRN of the output MOS transistor M8 is converted by the level preprocessing module 501 to generate DRNL, and the level is converted from VCC to an internal low voltage level VDD, where DRN and DRNL are inverted. The level holding block 502 is charged and discharged by DRNL which is obtained by level-shifting the gate signal DRN of the output MOS transistor M8, and the output of the level holding block 502 is used as the input of the schmitt trigger.

When the starting is completed, the system starts to work normally, the frequency of the grid signal of the output MOS tube M8 is increased to be normal, the output of the charging and discharging module 5022 exceeds the threshold value of the Schmitt trigger, the output of the Schmitt trigger is turned to be 0, and the short-circuit protection comparator 11 starts to work normally, namely whether the output of the BUCK type LED driving chip is short-circuited or not can be detected.
As shown in fig. 7, a waveform schematic diagram of the BUCK type LED driving chip in this embodiment when started is shown, and the problem of repeated restarting of the chip when started is avoided by the start prejudging module 100, so that the chip starting speed is increased, the power waste is reduced, the possibility of flashing light when started is eliminated, and the service life of the chip is prolonged.
In this embodiment, the charging and discharging module 5022 is not limited to the RC charging and discharging circuit, and may be implemented by a capacitor alone, or may be another circuit with a charging and discharging function.
