It should be apparent that the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

Implement one
An embodiment of the present invention provides an over-temperature protection circuit 14, as shown in fig. 1, including: an electrical signal input 141, an over-temperature protection triggering module 142 and a slope determining module 143. The electrical signal input terminal 141 Is configured to receive a parameter setting electrical signal, which may be derived from a current source Is. The over-temperature protection trigger module 142 has an input end and an output end, the input end of the over-temperature protection trigger module 142 is connected to the electrical signal input end 141, the over-temperature protection trigger module 142 has an over-temperature protection function, and when the over-temperature protection function is triggered by the parameter setting electrical signal, the output end UO1 of the over-temperature protection trigger module 142 outputs an over-temperature protection electrical signal. The slope determining module 143 has an input end and an output end, the input end of the slope determining module 143 is connected to the electrical signal input end 141, and the output end of the slope determining module 143 outputs an electrical signal of a slope of a temperature-current/voltage curve corresponding to the parameter setting electrical signal.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the over-temperature protection triggering module 142 is configured to output an over-temperature protection electrical signal when the over-temperature protection function is triggered, and the slope determining module 143 is configured to output an electrical signal representing a slope of a temperature-current/voltage curve corresponding to the parameter setting electrical signal, so that after the over-temperature protection circuit triggers the over-temperature protection function, a value for reducing current/voltage is determined according to the electrical signal representing the slope of the temperature-current/voltage curve, so as to implement over-temperature protection. Compared with the prior art which needs to be provided with two pins and two electrical signal input ends 141 respectively, the over-temperature protection triggering module 142 and the slope determining module 143 in the over-temperature protection circuit implemented by the invention are connected with one electrical signal input end 141 together, so that the number of input ends of the over-temperature protection circuit is reduced. Therefore, after the over-temperature protection circuit group is formed as a part of the chip integrated module, the number of pins of the chip integrated module can be reduced.
The signal value (voltage value or current value) of the parameter setting electric signal is adjustable, for example, when the signal value is X, the over-temperature protection function of the over-temperature protection triggering module is not triggered; when the signal value is Y, the over-temperature protection function of the over-temperature protection triggering module is triggered, and the over-temperature protection of the over-temperature protection circuit can be considered as Y. Specifically, referring to fig. 1, in order to realize that the over-temperature protection threshold of the over-temperature protection circuit 14 Is adjustable, for example, the over-temperature protection circuit Is provided for one current source Is, the current source Is may be connected to the electrical signal input terminal 141, and an external resistor Rth/Rslp with an adjustable resistance value Is connected between the electrical signal input terminal 141 and the ground terminal, along with the change of the resistance value of the external resistor Rth/Rslp, the electrical signal input to the electrical signal input terminal 141 (i.e., the electrical signal set by the above parameter) also changes, so as to adjust the over-temperature protection threshold of the current source Is. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, the over-temperature protection circuit 14 sets the over-temperature protection threshold of the current source Is and the slope of the temperature-current/voltage curve according to the magnitude of the received parameter setting electrical signal; in other words, as the magnitude of the parameter setting electrical signal changes, the over-temperature protection threshold of the over-temperature protection circuit to the current source Is, and the slope of the temperature-current/voltage curve also change. In practice, the parameter setting electrical signal may be a tunable electrical signal or a constant electrical signal.
The over-temperature protection triggering module 142 includes at least two over-temperature comparators 1421, each over-temperature comparator 1421 includes an input end UI1 and an output end UO1, the input ends UI1 of the over-temperature comparators 1421 are respectively connected to the electrical signal input ends 141, and each over-temperature comparator 1421 is respectively provided with a different first reference electrical signal interval Voptd-Voptu. At the output UO1 of each over-temperature comparator 1421, each first level signal is output based on the comparison result of the parameter setting electrical signal and the first reference electrical signal interval Voptd-Voptu, respectively. In the over-temperature protection triggering module 142, the voltage or current interval where the parameter setting electric signal is located is determined according to all the first level signals. The number of the over-temperature comparators 1421 in the over-temperature protection module may be three, four, or more.
The slope determining module 143 includes at least two slope comparators 1432, each slope comparator 1432 includes an input UI2 and an output UO2, the input UI2 of each slope comparator 1432 is respectively connected to the electrical signal input 141, each slope comparator 1432 is respectively provided with a different second reference electrical signal interval Vslpd-Vslpu, the output UO2 of each slope comparator 1432 respectively outputs each second level signal based on a comparison result of the parameter setting electrical signal and the second reference electrical signal interval Vslpd-Vslpu, and the slope determining module 143 obtains a voltage or current interval in which the parameter setting electrical signal is located according to each second level signal. In the slope determination module 143, the number of the slope comparators 1432 may be three, four, or more.
Wherein any one of the first reference electrical signal intervals Voptd-Voptu is not equal to any one of the second reference electrical signal intervals Vslpd-Vslpu. Any one of the second electrical reference signal intervals Vslpd-Vslpu is a subset of the first electrical reference signal interval Voptd-Voptu, or any one of the first electrical reference signal intervals Voptd-Voptu is a subset of the second electrical reference signal intervals Vslpd-Vslpu. Therefore, the current/voltage is prevented from being reduced more reasonably according to the current temperature exceeding the over-temperature protection threshold value only by a specific temperature-current/voltage curve slope under the over-temperature protection threshold value; alternatively, it is avoided to have only one over-temperature protection threshold at one temperature-current/voltage curve slope.
In order to enable the parameter setting electric signal to be in any current/voltage range within a set interval (such as the set range of 0-V1 in FIG. 1), whether the over-temperature protection function is triggered or not can be judged, and the corresponding electric signal representing the slope of the temperature-current/voltage curve can be acquired. The accumulation interval of the first reference signal intervals of all over-temperature comparators 1421 is a first continuous interval; for example, if the first reference electrical signal intervals Voptd-Voptu of the two over-temperature comparators 1421 are (4, 8] volts and (8, 12] volts, respectively, the accumulation interval of the first reference electrical signal intervals Voptd-Voptu of the two over-temperature comparators 1421 is (4, 12] volts and is a continuous interval, and the accumulation interval of the second reference electrical signal intervals Vslpd-Vslpu of all slope comparators 1432 is a second continuous interval, for example, if the second reference electrical signal intervals Vslpd-Vslpu of the two slope comparators 1432 are (4, 6] volts and (6, 12] volts, respectively, the accumulation interval of the second reference electrical signal intervals Vslpd-Vslpu of the two slope comparators 1432 is (4, 12] volts and is a continuous interval, and the numerical ranges of the first continuous interval and the second continuous interval are the same.
In an embodiment of the present invention, each over-temperature comparator 1421 may include a first reference electrical signal interval vopt-vopt, and all the first reference electrical signal intervals vopt-vopt are not overlapped with each other. For example, if the over-temperature protection trigger module 142 includes two over-temperature comparators 1421, the two first reference electrical signal intervals Voptd-Voptu are (4, 8] volts and (8, 12] volts, respectively, and accordingly, the number of the second reference electrical signal intervals Vslpd-Vslpu in each slope comparator 1432 is the same as the number of the over-temperature comparators 1421 of the over-temperature protector trigger module, and all the second reference electrical signal intervals Vslpd-Vslpu do not overlap with each other, for example, the over-temperature protection trigger module 142 includes two over-temperature comparators 1421, each slope comparator 1432 in the slope determination module 143 has two second reference electrical signals, and if there are two slope comparators 1432 in the slope determination module 143, the two second reference electrical signal intervals Vslpd-Vslpu in the first slope comparator 1432 are (4, 6], (8, 10] volts, and the two second reference electrical signal intervals Vslpu-Vslpu in the second slope comparator 1432 are (4, 6, 8], (10, 12] volts.
When each over-temperature comparator 1421 includes a segment of the first electrical reference signal interval Vslpd-Vslpu, the lengths of the segments of the first electrical reference signal interval Voptd-Voptu may be completely the same, completely different, or partially the same. As described above, the over-temperature protection triggering module 142 includes two over-temperature comparators 1421, where the lengths of the two first reference electrical signal intervals Voptd-Voptu are the same if the two first reference electrical signal intervals Voptd-Voptu are (4, 8] volts and (8, 12) volts, the lengths of the two first reference electrical signal intervals Voptd-Voptu are different if the two first reference electrical signal intervals Voptd-Voptu are (4, 7] volts and (7, 12) volts, and the lengths of the three first reference electrical signal intervals Voptd-Voptu are the same if the number of the comparators is three and the three first reference electrical signal intervals Voptd-Voptu are (4, 8] volts, (8, 12] volts and (12, 13) volts.
All the second reference electrical signal sections Vslpd to Vslpu do not overlap with each other, and include: all the second reference electrical signal intervals Vslpd-Vslpu of the same slope comparator 1432 do not overlap with each other, and all the second reference electrical signal intervals Vslpd-Vslpu of all the slope comparators 1432 do not overlap with each other.
Correspondingly, the cumulative lengths of the second reference electrical signal intervals Vslpd-Vslpu in each slope comparator 1432 may be completely the same, completely different, or partially the same. For example, each slope comparator 1432 in the slope determining module 143 has two second reference electrical signal intervals Vslpd-Vslpu, if there are two slope comparators 1432 in the slope determining module 143, the two second reference electrical signal intervals Vslpd-Vslpu in the first slope comparator 1432 are respectively (4, 6), (8, 10] volts, and the cumulative length is 4, the two second reference electrical signal intervals Vslpd-Vslpu in the second slope comparator 1432 are respectively (6, 8), (10, 12] volts, and the cumulative length is also 4, the cumulative length of the second reference electrical signal interval Vslpd-Vslpu in the first slope comparator 1432 is equal to the cumulative length of the second reference electrical signal intervals Vslpd-Vslpu in the second slope comparator 1432, for example, the two second reference electrical signal intervals Vslpd-Vslpu in the first slope comparator 1432 are respectively 4, 5], (8, 10] volt, the second reference electrical signal intervals Vslpd-Vslpu at both ends of the second slope comparator 1432 are (5, 8], (10, 12] volt, respectively, the cumulative lengths of the two are different, if the slope determining module 143 has three second slope comparators 1432, the cumulative length of the first slope comparator 1432 is 4, the cumulative length of the second slope comparator 1432 is 4, and the cumulative length of the third slope comparator 1432 can be 5, so the cumulative lengths of the three are partially the same.
As a variation, each slope comparator 1432 may include a second reference electrical signal interval Vslpd-Vslpu, and all the second reference electrical signal intervals Vslpd-Vslpu do not overlap with each other. Also, the number of the first reference electrical signal intervals Voptd-Voptu of each over-temperature comparator 1421 is the same as the number of the slope comparators 1432 in the slope determination module 143, and all the first reference electrical signal intervals Voptd-Voptu do not overlap with each other. Correspondingly, the cumulative lengths of the second reference electrical signal intervals Vslpd-Vslpu of the slope comparators 1432 may be completely the same, completely different, or partially the same; the lengths of the segments of the first electrical reference signal interval vopt-vopt may also be identical, completely different or partially identical.
Wherein, the first reference electrical signal interval Voptd-Voptu may be input by an input terminal of the over-temperature comparator 1421; the second reference electrical signal interval Vslpd-Vslpu may be input by an input terminal of the slope comparator 1432.
The number of slope comparators 1432 may be equal to, greater than, or less than the number of over-temperature comparators 1421.
For example, in the embodiment of the present invention, the number of slope comparators 1432 is equal to the number of over-temperature comparators 1421, and all over-temperature comparators 1421 include a first reference electrical signal interval Voptd-Voptu, and all the first reference electrical signal intervals Voptd-Voptu have the same length. The number of the second reference electrical signals in each slope comparator 1432 is equal to the number of over-temperature comparators 1421, and the cumulative lengths of the second reference electrical signal intervals Vslpd-Vslpu in each slope comparator 1432 are the same.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the electrical signal input terminal 141 is a voltage signal input terminal, the electrical signal input terminal 141 receives a voltage signal to be measured, the over-temperature comparator 1421 and the slope comparator 1432 are current comparators, and correspondingly, the slope determination module 143 determines the slope of the temperature-voltage curve. As a variation, the electrical signal input terminal 141 is a current signal input terminal, the electrical signal input terminal 141 receives a current signal to be measured, the over-temperature comparator 1421 and the slope comparator 1432 are voltage comparators, and correspondingly, the slope determination module 143 determines the slope of the temperature-current curve.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the over-temperature protection triggering module 142 further includes an over-temperature signal generating circuit 1422, the over-temperature signal generating circuit 1422 includes an input end UI3 and an output end UO3, and an input end of the over-temperature signal generating circuit 1422 is connected to the output ends UO1 of all over-temperature comparators 1421. The over-temperature signal generating circuit 1422 sets a voltage/current interval in which the electrical signal is located according to the parameter, and determines whether to output the over-temperature protection electrical signal. Therefore, the output terminal UO3 of the over-temperature signal generating circuit 1422 outputs an over-temperature protection electrical signal when the over-temperature protection function is triggered. And the current voltage/current reference value is a voltage/current value corresponding to the current temperature and is determined based on the preset corresponding relation between the temperature and the voltage/current.
The slope determination module 143 further comprises a slope selection circuit 1432, the slope selection circuit 1432 comprising an input UI4 and an output UO4, the input UI4 of the slope selection circuit 1432 being connected to the outputs UO2 of all slope comparators 1432. The slope selection circuit 1432 determines the slope of the temperature-current-voltage curve according to the voltage/current interval in which the parameter setting electrical signal is located. Thus, the output UO4 of the slope selection circuit 1432 outputs an electrical signal corresponding to the parameter setting electrical signal that is representative of the slope of the temperature-current/voltage curve.
It should be noted that in the implementation of the present invention, the input terminals of the over-temperature protection triggering module 142 are the input terminal UI1 of the over-temperature comparator 1421 and the input terminal UI2 of the slope comparator 1432; the output terminal of the over-temperature protection triggering module 142 is the output terminal UO3 of the over-temperature signal generating circuit 1422 and the output terminal UO4 of the slope selecting circuit 1432.
In the over-temperature protection circuit 14 provided in the embodiment of the present invention, the over-temperature protection triggering module 142 and the slope driving module 143 are commonly connected to one electrical signal input terminal 141, so that the number of input terminals of the over-temperature protection circuit 14 is reduced. Therefore, when the over-temperature protection circuit 14 is provided as a part of the chip integrated module 10, the number of pins of the chip integrated module 10 can be reduced.
Specifically, referring to fig. 1, under the condition that the current source Is not changed, if the external resistor Rth/Rslp Is changed, the voltage of the parameter setting electrical signal Is changed, and the over-temperature protection threshold corresponding to the parameter setting electrical signal Is also changed in the over-temperature signal generating circuit 1422. Therefore, in the over-temperature protection circuit 14 to which the present invention Is applied, for the current source Is, the over-temperature protection threshold for triggering the over-temperature protection function may be determined according to the resistance value of the external resistor Rth/Rslp provided between the electrical signal input terminal 141 and the ground terminal. Similarly, in fig. 1, under the condition that the current source Is not changed, if the external resistor Rth/Rslp Is changed, the voltage of the parameter setting electrical signal Is also changed, and the electrical signal of the temperature-current-voltage curve slope corresponding to the parameter setting electrical signal Is also changed in the slope selection circuit 1432.

The rectifying unit D1 has a rectifying input terminal D1IN, a rectifying output terminal D1OUT, and a common reference terminal D1 CG. The ac input pin ACIN is connected to the rectifying input terminal D1IN, the first ground pin GDN2 is connected to the common reference terminal D1CG, the second ground pin GND2 is connected to the logic control unit 10, and the supply voltage input pin VIN is connected to the rectifying output terminal D1 OUT.

The chip integrated module 100 includes the second ground pin GND2 and the first ground pin GND1, and the filter 210 is connected to the chip integrated module 100 because the chip integrated module 100 has two ground pins.

The first inductor L2 of the filter 210 may be connected between two ground pins, and the first capacitor EC1 of the filter 210 is further disposed between the supply voltage input pin VIN and the first ground pin GND1, that is, the first capacitor EC1 of the filter 210 is disposed at the rear end of the rectifying unit D1, that is, the input ac power is rectified and then filtered, so that the filter 210 does not need to use an ampere-standard capacitor but uses an electrolytic capacitor or a thin-film capacitor to achieve a filtering effect, and the cost and the volume of the chip integrated module 100 connected to the filter 210 are not greatly increased.
The ac input pin ACIN has two pins, which are the ac first input pin ACIN1 and the ac second input pin ACIN2 in fig. 2, respectively, for receiving 220V ac power or other volts ac power. The rectifying unit D1 may be a rectifying bridge or other rectifying elements, and the rectifying bridge is a full bridge or a half bridge. The second ground pin GND2 and the first ground pin GND1 are two pins, GND2 and GND 1in fig. 2, respectively. And the logic control unit 10 is configured to determine an output driving command according to the input signal to drive the corresponding load 240.
The chip integrated module 100 further includes a switching tube Q and a current signal sampling pin ISEN, where the switching tube Q includes a source QS, a drain QD and a control electrode QG, and the source QD is connected to the current signal sampling pin ISEN and the logic control unit 10. The logic control unit 10 is connected to the control electrode QG of the switching tube Q, and outputs a driving signal to the control electrode QG of the switching tube Q based on the current target of current drop or current rise in combination with the sampled current signal, so as to control the switching-off or switching-on of the switching tube Q, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting voltage or current.
The chip integrated module 100 further includes a freewheeling diode D2, the anode of the freewheeling diode D2 is connected to the rectification output terminal DIOUT, and the cathode of the freewheeling diode D2 is connected to the supply voltage input pin VIN, so as to prevent the voltage abrupt change from damaging the components in the chip integrated module 100.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 3, the logic control unit 10 may include a temperature detection subunit 11, a control subunit 12, a driving subunit 13, and an over-temperature protection circuit 14 as mentioned in the first embodiment. The temperature detecting subunit 11 is configured to detect a current temperature of the chip integrated module 100, and send a logic signal to the control subunit 12 according to the detected current temperature. The control subunit 12 includes a first input end, a second input end and a logic output end, the first input end is connected to the temperature detection subunit 11, and the second input end is connected to the current signal sampling pin, that is, the control subunit 12 receives the logic signal sent by the temperature detection subunit 11 through the first input end. The logic output is connected to the drive subunit 13 to output a drive signal to the drive subunit 13. The driving subunit 13 is connected between the logic output end and the control electrode of the switching tube, and is configured to output a driving instruction to the control electrode of the switching tube according to the received driving signal, and the switching tube is turned on or off according to the driving instruction. Obviously, the output terminal of the driving subunit 13 is the output terminal of the logic control unit 10.
The chip integrated module 100 further includes a control pin TH/SLP, and the logic control unit 10 further includes an over-temperature protection circuit 14 as implemented in the first embodiment. The control pin TH/SLP is connected to the input end UI1 of the over-temperature protection triggering module in the logic control unit 10 and the input end UI3 of the slope determination module, and the control pin TH/SLP is used for connecting the external resistor Rth/Rslp. The logic control unit 10 is connected to the control pin TH/SLP, and determines an over-temperature protection threshold and a temperature-current curve slope of the chip integration module 100 according to a resistance value of the external resistor Rth/Rslp based on a preset mapping relationship.
Wherein, the preset mapping relationship comprises: and determining the over-temperature protection threshold of the chip integrated module 100 according to the resistance value interval where the resistance value of the external resistor Rth/Rslp is located based on the mapping relation between the resistance value interval and the over-temperature protection value. The preset mapping relationship further includes: and determining the over-temperature protection threshold of the chip integrated module 100 according to the resistance value of the external resistor Rth/Rslp based on the mapping relation between the resistance value and the slope of the temperature-current curve.
The establishment of the preset mapping relationship may refer to the first embodiment, and then the parameter setting electric signal input to the over-temperature protection circuit 14 is adjusted according to the external resistor Rth/Rslp, so that the over-temperature protection threshold and the temperature-current curve slope are determined based on the resistance value of the external resistor Rth/Rslp. For example, when the resistance value of the external resistor Rth/Rslp is between 100 and 200 ohms, the over-temperature protection threshold value is A, and when the resistance value of the external resistor Rth/Rslp is between 200 and 300 ohms, the over-temperature protection threshold value is B. If the current resistance value of the external resistor Rth/Rslp is 150 ohms, the over-temperature protection threshold value is A, and the slope of the temperature-current curve is K1; if the current resistance value of the external resistor Rth/Rslp is adjusted to 180 ohms, the over-temperature protection threshold is still A, but the slope of the temperature-current curve is K2. Obviously, the external resistor Rth/Rslp is a resistor with an adjustable resistance value, and can be adjusted according to the actual requirements of the chip integrated module 100.
For example, the temperature detecting subunit 11 detects the current temperature of the chip integrated module 100, and sends a corresponding logic signal to the control subunit 12 according to the current temperature. The control subunit 12 obtains the corresponding over-temperature protection threshold according to the resistance value of the external resistor Rth and the mapping relationship established by the over-temperature protection circuit 14, and judges whether the current temperature exceeds the over-temperature protection threshold based on the logic signal, if so, the temperature needs to be reduced. The control subunit 12 obtains the slope of the temperature-current curve of the chip integrated module 100 according to the resistance value of the external resistor Rslp and the mapping relationship established by the over-temperature protection circuit 14, determines how many current values need to be adjusted according to the temperature value to be reduced or the target temperature value and the current obtained by sampling, calculates a corresponding driving signal, and sends the driving signal to the driving subunit 13. The driving subunit 13 generates a driving instruction for turning on or off the switching tube Q according to the driving signal, thereby completing current regulation.
