In one of the embodiments, the second current limiting resistor 320 is a resistor with fixed resistance.
The working process of the present disclosure is as follows:
The second switching circuit 400 is a P-channel trench MOS transistor. When the control signal received from the gate of the P-channel trench MOS transistor is low level, the P-channel trench MOS transistor is turned on. When the control signal received from the gate of the P-channel trench MOS transistor is high level, the P-channel trench MOS transistor is turned off. The first switching circuit 200 is a N-channel trench MOS transistor. When the gate control signal of the N-channel trench MOS transistor is high level, the N-channel trench MOS transistor is turned on. When the gate control signal of the N-channel trench MOS transistor is low level, the N-channel trench MOS transistor is turned off The trigger circuit 300 is composed of a rising edge D trigger and a second resistor. When an impulse end of the rising edge D trigger receives a rising edge signal, the logic level of the D input end of the rising edge D trigger is assigned to the Q output end.
The first circuit is composed of a first comparator and a third resistor. When a voltage at a positive input end of the first comparator (i.e., the first voltage 120) is less than or equal to that at a negative input end (i.e., the preset protection value 110), the first comparator outputs a logic low level. When the voltage at the positive input end of the first comparator (i.e., the first voltage 120) is greater than that at a negative input end (i.e., the preset protection value 110), the first comparator outputs a logic high level.
In a normal operation, the positive input of the first comparator is a constant DC voltage (typically 12V). When the voltage at the positive input end of the first comparator is less than or equal to the voltage at the negative input end, the first comparator outputs the logic low level. The N-channel trench MOS transistor is turned off. Since the third resistor is grounded, the impulse input end of the rising edge D trigger has a low level at this time. The trigger signal received from the gate of the P-channel trench MOS transistor is turning on, at this time, the P-channel trench MOS transistor is turned on, that is, the P-channel trench MOS transistor normally operates.
When the positive input end of the first comparator is abnormal and causes that the voltage at the positive input end exceeds the voltage at the negative input end, the first comparator outputs the logic high level. The N-channel trench MOS transistor is turned on. At this time, the low level of the impulse input end of the rising edge D trigger is converted into a high level (i.e., rising edge), that is, the rising edge D trigger inputs a turn-off trigger signal to the gate of the P-channel trench MOS transistor. The P-channel trench MOS transistor is turned off. At this time, the input end of the printed circuit board 500 is disconnected to the first voltage 120, the problem that the internal chip of the printed circuit board 500 is burnt due to the abnormality of the input terminal is avoided.
In summary, the present disclosure has the cooperation of the first circuit 100, the first switching circuit 200, the trigger circuit 300 and the second switching circuit 400. That is, the first switching circuit 200 is controlled to be turned on by the first circuit 100, so that the trigger circuit 300 controls the second switching circuit 400 to be open, so that the chip in the printed circuit board can be protected from damage in real time, and the security is greatly improved. Also, the reliability of the product is improved.
