Embodiment
Below in conjunction with drawings and Examples, the present invention is described in further detail.Be understandable that, specific embodiment described herein is only for explaining the present invention, but not limitation of the invention.It also should be noted that, for convenience of description, illustrate only part related to the present invention in accompanying drawing but not entire infrastructure.
Embodiment one
A kind of charge pump circuit block diagram that Fig. 1 provides for the embodiment of the present invention one, the present embodiment is applicable in the integrated circuit of low-power consumption.A kind of charge pump circuit block diagram that the present embodiment provides, as shown in Figure 1, comprise voltage detection module, for detecting the output voltage of charge pump under the control of pulse signal, and output enable signal is to charge pump, starts charge pump and starts working; Counter, for carrying out timing to the enable phase of described enable signal, when the enable phase lower than or produce the frequency of pulse signal higher than adjusting waveform generator during set point; Waveform generator, for producing the detection frequency of pulse signal to voltage detecting circuit refresh voltage testing circuit under the control of described counter; Charge pump, for exporting target voltage under the control of described enable signal.
Wherein, described charge pump is preferably positive voltage charge pump.
Due to the existence of leakage current (Ileak), the output voltage of charge pump as shown in Figure 1 VouT constantly can decline from target voltage, so charge pump needs voltage detecting circuit to detect output voltage, output voltage VouT carries out work lower than charge pump during target voltage Vtarg, and VouT is lifted to target voltage again.During each detection, voltage detecting circuit needs to extract electric current from VouT, causes the waste of power consumption, in order to reduce circuit power consumption, can flush mechanism be adopted, with certain frequency cut-in voltage testing circuit, often open once, VouT is detected once, VouT is lifted back target voltage again.Open frequency is lower, and the power wastage that voltage detecting circuit causes is less, but voltage drop value is larger simultaneously, causes output voltage unstable.Suppose that voltage detecting circuit is opened once every time t0, then voltage drop value V0=Ileak*t0/Cld, wherein Ileak is transistor drain current, cannot avoid also cannot measuring, if t0 is set to fixed value, then V0 value cannot be estimated, and when leakage current Ileak is excessive, may to depart from target voltage excessively far away for the output voltage VouT of charge pump.So need the open frequency constantly adjusting voltage detecting circuit according to the output voltage of charge pump, under not only ensureing the prerequisite of output voltage stabilization, do not cause the significant wastage of power consumption.
For achieving the above object, suppose that charge pump provides the ability of electric current to be Ipump, then output voltage VouT is lifted back the time t1=V0*Cld/Ipump that target voltage needs, namely the enable phase of the enable signal of starting resistor testing circuit is t1, suppose that t1 corresponding V0 in interval [Tmin, Tmax] scope is design load.With counter, t1 is detected, if t1>Tmax, then accelerate the frequency that waveform generator produces pulse (RF_EN), and then accelerate the detection frequency of voltage detecting circuit, constantly start charge pump in order to reduce the drop-out value V0 of output voltage, if t1<Tmin, then reduce the frequency that waveform generator produces pulse (RF_EN), and then reduce the detection frequency of voltage detecting circuit, in order to reduce power consumption.
It should be noted that, in Fig. 1, Cld represents the ability that charge pump provides electric charge.
In order to clearly understand the course of work of above-mentioned charge pump circuit, Fig. 2 gives the wave form varies figure of pulse signal RF_EN and PUMP_EN of output voltage VouT and correspondence, in figure, V0 and V2 represents that output voltage VouT departs from the value of target voltage, and V0 is greater than V2; T1 and t3 represents the pulsewidth of enable signal PUMP_EN, and t1 is greater than t3; T0 and t2 represents the sense cycle of voltage detecting circuit.
The technical scheme of the present embodiment, timing is carried out by the enable phase of counter to enable signal, when the enable phase lower than or produce the frequency of pulse signal higher than adjusting waveform generator during set point, and then refreshing self-adjusting is carried out to the detection frequency of voltage detection module, under the prerequisite ensureing output voltage stabilization, farthest reduce the waste of power consumption

Wherein, reference voltage Vref is set point, described enable switch KM_EN is normal open switch, ground connection after only having when voltage detecting circuit starts to detect output voltage described enable switch KM_EN closed, when Vin is less than Vref, output enable signal PUMP_EN starts charge pump and starts working output voltage is raised to target voltage.
The technical scheme of the present embodiment, by voltage detecting circuit, detection output enable signal PUMP_EN startup charge pump is carried out to the output voltage of charge pump and output voltage is raised to target voltage, under the prerequisite ensureing output voltage stabilization, farthest reduce the waste of power consumption.
