为了解决现有技术随着系统性能提升,电源占板面积较大的问题,本申请实施例提供一种供电电路,能够减小整体电源方案的占板面积,功率密度较高,提高了系统的供电效率。
本申请实施例还提供一种供电电路,该供电电路可以应用于终端设备中。该终端设备可以为手机、平板电脑、笔记本电脑、上网本等设备。本申请实施例中对于该供电电路应用的终端设备的具体形式不做特殊限制。
如图2所示,该供电电路20包括:一个或多个第一级电压转换电路21和一个或多个第二级电压转换电路22。第一级电压转换电路21的输入端被耦合至电源,第二级电压转换电路22的输入端被耦合至第一级电压转换电路21的输出端。
第一级电压转换电路21,用于将其输入端接收到的第一电压转换为第二电压,并从第一级电压转换电路21的输出端输出,该第二电压小于第一电压,该第二电压大于或等于0.6V,且小于或等于1.3V。
第二级电压转换电路22,用于将第二电压转换为第三电压,并将第三电压提供给负载,该第三电压小于第二电压。第二级电压转换电路22的开关频率大于或等于30Mhz。
以无线终端设备为例说明。在无线终端设备中的电源电压(在无线终端设备中通常为电池电压)通常为4.5V左右。本发明实施例的供电电路20采用两级电压转换电路,首先通过第一级电压转换电路21将电压初步降低到0.6V-1.3V之间。然后再通过第二级电压转换电路22再次降压。由于第二级电压转换电路22的输入电压仅在0.6V-1.3V之间,因此在无线终端设备中负载的供电电压较低时(例如,在无线终端的处理器芯片采用5nm、7nm等先进互补金属氧化物半导体(Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor,CMOS)制程,其供电电压可以降低到0.6V左右),由于输入电压和输出电压的压差越小转换效率越高,因此,通过该第二级电压转换电路降压后,第二级电压转换电路22的转换效率较高。而且由于一个开关管的耐压值为1V左右,因此 通过第一级电压转换电路将输入电压降为1.1V左右的电压(0.6V-1.3V)后,第二级电压转换电路可以采用两个开关管实现降压,与采用四个开关管降压相比,由于开关数量减小,电路的集成度更高,开关损耗也大大降低。
示例性的,第二级电压转换电路22可以采用高频开关电路的设计,或者说具有更高的开关管工作频率,比如30Mhz。可以理解的,由于开关管的工作频率越低,开关管的损耗越小,效率越高,但可能不能满足负载跳变的瞬态性能,而且纹波电流较大,对电池的干扰影响越大。因此,考虑了效率和负载跳变的瞬态性能等因素后,本申请实施例中的第二级电压转换电路22中的开关管的频率可以大于或等于30Mhz。
可以理解的,采用低频开关电路(开关频率通常小于5Mhz)时,由于负载瞬态性能要求越高时,负载瞬态的电流变化越大,电路中需要更多的电容组件进行储能,那么电路的占板面积也将越大。而本申请通过第二级电压转换电路22采用高频开关电路的设计,能够满足负载跳变的瞬态性能要求,减少电容等储能元件的数量,因此电路的占板面积大大减小。故当第二级电压转换电路中的开关管工作频率高于现有技术中的低频开关电路中开关管的工作频率时,电路的功率密度较现有的低频开关电路有了显著的提升,集成度更高,占板面积大大减小。
示例性的,上述每个第一级电压转换电路21的输入端被耦合至电源。一个第一级电压转换电路21可以给一个或多个第二级电压转换电路22供电,每个第二级电压转换电路22的输入端连接该第一级电压转换电路21的输出端。例如,如图3所示,该供电电路20包括2个第一级电压转换电路21和2个第二级电压转换电路22,每个第二级电压转换电路22的输入端连接一个第一级电压转换电路21的输出端。本申请实施例对于第一级电压转换电路21和第二级电压转换电路22的具体数量并不进行限定,图3仅是示例性说明。实际应用中,可以根据负载的供电需求、负载位置等参数配置第一级电压转换电路21和第二级电压转换电路22的数量和连接方式。可以理解的,供电电路20输出的第三电压可以用于为图3中的中央处理器(central processing unit,CPU)、图形处理器(Graphics Processing Unit,GPU)、人工智能(Artificial Intelligence,AI)处理器、内存(memory)、固态硬盘(solid-state drive,SSD)和图像处理器(Image Processor)等负载供电。其中,该CPU、GPU和AI处理器可以为多核处理器。
示例性的,若第一级电压转换电路21给M个第二级电压转换电路22供电,M大于或等于1,即M个第二级电压转换电路22的输入端与该第一级电压转换电路21的输出端连接,该第一级电压转换电路21的峰值功率可以小于与其连接的M个第二级电压转换电路22的峰值功率之和。可以理解的,由于无线终端设备的所有负载不会同时工作在峰值状态,因此上述供电电路20中的第一级电压转换电路21的峰值功率可以小于与其连接的所有第二级电压转换电路22的峰值功率之和,从而能够避免第一级电压转换电路21过设计。而且由于峰值电流越大,电路中的电感的体积和面积越大,当输出电压一定时,峰值功率也越大,则电路的占板面积也会越大,即电路的占板面积与峰值功率成正比。因此,将第一级电压转换电路21的峰值功率设计为小于所有与其连接的第二级电压转换电路22的峰值功率之和,相比于现有技术中点对点的电压转换,并将每一路电压转换器电路按负载的最大峰值电流设计,能够减小电压转换电路的占板面积,进一步提高供电电路的功率密度。例如,以第二级电压转换电路的输出 电压为0.6V、第二级电压转换电路的峰值电流之和为100A为例,该第二级电压转换电路的峰值功率之和为60W,而实际应用中无线终端设备(例如,手机)的功率一般为3W-4W左右,因此第一级电压转换电路的峰值功率可以设计为小于与其连接的所有第二级电压转换电路的峰值功率之和即可。例如,该第一级电压转换电路21的峰值功率可以设计为与其连接的所有第二级电压转换电路22的峰值功率之和的20%。本申请实施例对于第一级电压转换电路的峰值功率的具体数值并不进行限定,在此仅是示例性说明。
示例性的,上述第一级电压转换电路21可以采用高效的直流变直流(Direct Current Direct Current,DCDC)电压转换器电路实现电压的转换。例如,开关电容电压转换器电路、转换比可变的开关电容电压转换器电路、降压DC-DC转换器电路、多电平降压转换器电路、变压器隔离的降压转换器电路、混合的开关电感和开关电容结合的电压转换器电路,或者谐振开关电容电压转换器电路等。本申请实施例对于第一级电压转换电路21的具体电路结构并不进行限定。
需要说明的是,第一级电压转换电路21可以为闭环控制的稳压整流电路,此时,第一级电压转换电路21的输出电压(第二电压)是恒定的,输入电压(第一电压)的变化对输出电压没有影响。或者,该第一级电压转换电路21也可以为开环控制的降压转换,输出电压(第二电压)相对输入电压(第一电压)可以按照固定变比实现,本申请实施例对此并不进行限定。
示例性的,第一级电压转换电路21的输入电源可以是多种类型和宽范围的电压范围,例如,电压范围可以为2.8V-4.5V的单电池,或者,串联的三节电池,其电压范围可以为8.4V-13.5V,或上一级系统电源提供的固定的输入等,本申请实施例对此并不进行限定。
一种实现方式中,上述第二级电压转换电路22可以采用图4所示的降压电路。如图4所示,该第二级电压转换电路22包括:第一电感L1、第一电容C1、第一开关Q1和第二开关Q2,第一开关Q1的第一端(a)为该第二级电压转换电路22的输入端Vin,第一开关Q1的第二端(b)连接第一电感L1的第一端和第二开关Q2的第一端(a),第一开关Q1的控制端(c)用于输入第一控制信号;第一电感L1的第二端为该第二级电压转换电路22的输出端Vout,第一电感L1的第二端连接第一电容C1的第一端,第一电容C1的第二端和第二开关Q2的第二端(b)接地;第二开关Q2的控制端(c)用于输入第二控制信号。
示例性的,该第二级电压转换电路22中的第一开关Q1和第二开关Q2的开关频率可以大于或等于30Mhz。相比于现有技术中的开关频率通常小于5Mhz,本申请中的高开关频率不仅能够满足负载跳变的瞬态性能,使电路的集成度更高;而且对于同样的电感,由于开关频率越高,开关管的导通时间越短,电路中的纹波电流越小,因此电路的损耗也将越小。
示例性的,该第二级电压转换电路22中的第一开关Q1导通时,第二开关Q2关断,且,当第二开关Q2导通时,第一开关Q1关断。例如,若该第一开关Q1在第一控制信号为高电平时导通,第二开关Q2在第二控制信号为低电平时关断,该第一控制信号和第二控制信号可以采用一对反向的脉冲信号。当第一开关Q1导通时,储能 第一电感L1被充磁,流经第一电感L1的电流线性增加,同时给第一电容C1充电,给负载R提供能量,其等效电路如图5中的(a)所示;该情况下第一电感L1和负载R串联到输入端Vin,输出电压Vout为负载两端电压,由于第一电感L1和负载R串联分压,那么输出电压Vout必定小于输入电压Vin。当第一开关Q1关断时,储能第一电感L1通过第二开关Q2放电,第一电感L1电流线性减少,其等效电路如图5中的(b)所示;该情况下第一电感L1储存的能量向负载R释放,而第一电感L1的电压小于输入电压,因此负载R两端的输出电压也小于输入电压Vin。通过第一开关Q1和第二开关Q2的导通和关闭,使得输出电压Vout小于输入电压Vin。示例性的,可以通过控制第一开关Q1和第二开关Q2的导通和关闭的时间比,调整输出电压的大小。
需要说明的是,上述第一开关Q1和第二开关Q2可以为金属氧化物半导体场效应晶体管(Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor,MOSFET)。例如,该第一开关Q1和第二开关Q2可以均为NMOS管,或者,第一开关Q1和第二开关Q2也可以为均为PMOS管,或者,第一开关Q1和第二开关Q2也可以一个为PMOS管,一个为NMOS管,本申请实施例对此并不仅限定。图4中的R表示无线终端设备的负载,实际应用中,无线终端设备的负载可以为一个具体功能的电路模块,本本申请实施例对于无线终端设备的负载的具体形式并不进行限定,在此仅以R进行示例性说明。
示例性的,为了实现第一开关和第二开关工作在高频(大于或等于30Mhz)时,第二级电压转换电路22中第一电感的占板面积和体积较小,并且第一电感的损耗较低,本申请实施例提供了一种电感,该电感在第一开关和第二开关的开关频率大于或等于30Mhz时,电感量密度大于或等于10nH/mm 2,且电感量密度大于或等于40nH/mm 3,且电感的线圈直流阻抗小于或等于30mΩ。可以理解的,该第一电感在电路工作在高频时,单位面积(每平方毫米)的电感量大于或等于10nH,且单位体积(每立方毫米)的电感量大于或等于40nH。即该第一电感在单位面积和单位体积的电感量相对于现有技术中的电感有了很大的提升,因此在电感量相同的情况下,该第一电感的占板面积和体积均较小。故采用了该第一电感L1的第二级电压转换电路22的占板面积和体积均较小,电路的集成度更高。而且该第一电感在第一开关和第二开关工作在高频时的电感量较大,因此电路中的纹波电路较小,而且电感的直流阻抗也较小,因此电感的损耗较小,使得第二级电压转换电路的供电效率较高。
一种实现方式中,为了实现上述第一电感的高集成度和低损耗,本申请实施例提供一种薄膜电感01,如图6所示,该薄膜电感01包括至少一个磁芯10和位于每个磁芯10内的导体20。每个磁芯10包括相对设置的第一磁膜101和第二磁膜102。第一磁膜101与第二磁膜102之间具有容纳腔21。上述导体20位于容纳腔21内。该薄膜电感01还包括绝缘间隔薄膜30。该绝缘间隔膜30设置于上述导体20两侧,且位于第一磁膜101与第二磁膜102之间的间隙(gap)内。上述绝缘间隔膜30的下表面、上表面分别与第一磁膜101和第二磁膜102相接触。如图7所示,上述第一磁膜101和第二磁膜102均包括多层磁性子膜120和多层绝缘子膜121。第一磁膜101中的磁性子膜120和绝缘子膜121交替设置。第二磁膜102中的磁性子膜120和绝缘子膜121交替设置。如图8所示,为第一磁膜101与绝缘间隔膜30相接触的倾斜表面的示意图,该第一磁膜101与绝缘间隔膜30相接触的表面,可以暴露出第一磁膜101中多层磁性 子膜120和多层绝缘子膜121。和/或,第二磁膜102与绝缘间隔膜30相接触的表面,暴露出第二磁膜102中多层磁性子膜120和多层绝缘子膜121。
结合图6-图8所示的薄膜电感,绝缘间隔膜处的涡流,能够在第一磁膜与绝缘间隔膜相接触的表面,和/或,第二磁膜与绝缘间隔膜相接触的表面,与暴露出的多层磁性子膜和多层绝缘子膜相交。从而使得绝缘间隔膜处的涡流,在该涡流所在的平面与各层磁性子膜相交的位置,被各层磁性子膜分隔成多个子涡流,且每个子涡流进入到一层磁性子膜中。从而使得每个子涡流能够被局限于一层磁性子膜中,达到降低涡流损耗的目的。因此,在第二级电压转换电路22采用该薄膜电感后,能够使第二级电压转换电路22的集成度更高,而且在该第二级电压转换电路22中的开关工作在高频时,使得第二级电压转换电路22中第一电感的阻抗较小,损耗较低。
可以理解的,在第二级电压转换电路22的输入电压为0.6V-1.3V时,该第二级电压转换电路22采用图4所示的降压电路,其占板面积较小,集成度较高,并且能够在第一开关和第二开关的开关频率大于或等于30Mhz时,确保电路的损耗较低,提高了第二级电压转换电路22的供电效率。
另一种实现方式中,上述第二级电压转换电路22可以采用图9所示的降压电路。如图9所示,该降压电路包括:第二电感L2、第二电容C2、第三开关Q3、第四开关Q4、第五开关Q5和第六开关Q6。第三开关Q3的第一端(a)为第二级电压转换电路22的输入端,第三开关Q3的第一端(a)连接第一级电压转换电路21的输出端,第三开关Q3的第二端(b)连接第四开关Q4的第一端(a),第三开关Q3的控制端(c)用于输入第三控制信号。第四开关Q4的第二端(b)连接第二电感L2的第一端和第五开关Q5的第一端(a),第四开关Q4的控制端(c)用于输入第一偏置电压V bias1。第五开关Q5的第二端(b)连接第六开关Q6的第一端(a),第五开关Q5的控制端(c)用于输入第二偏置电压V bias2。第二电感L2的第二端为第二级电压转换电路22的输出端,第二电感L2的第二端连接第二电容C2的第一端。第二电容C2的第二端和第六开关Q6的第二端(b)接地。第六开关Q6的控制端(c)用于输入第四控制信号。
示例性的,上述第一偏置电压V bias1和第二偏置电压V bias2可以为预设偏置电压,使得第四开关Q4和第五开关Q5的栅极保持在一个固定的电压值。若第三开关Q3和第四开关Q4为PMOS管,第五开关Q5和第六开关Q6为NMOS管,当第三开关Q3导通时,第四开关Q4也导通,此时第五开关Q5和第六开关Q6均截止;当第三开关Q3截止时,第四开关Q4也截止,此时第五开关Q5和第六开关Q6均导通。
需要说明的是,上述第三开关Q3、第四开关Q4、第五开关Q5和第六开关Q6可以为NMOS管,也可以为PMOS管,本申请实施例对此并不进行限定,只需满足第三开关Q3和第四开关Q4导通时,第五开关Q5和第六开关Q6截止;第三开关Q3和第四开关Q4截止时,第五开关Q5和第六开关Q6导通即可。例如,该第三开关Q3和第四开关Q4可以均为PMOS管,第五开关Q5和第六开关Q6均为NMOS管。图9中的R表示无线终端设备的负载,实际应用中,无线终端设备的负载可以为一个具体功能的电路模块,本申请实施例对于无线终端设备的负载的具体形式并不进行限定,在此仅以R进行示例性说明。
可以理解的,该第二级电压转换电路22采用图9所示的降压电路时,电路中的第二电感可以采用图6-图8所示的电感,从而在第一开关和第二开关的开关频率大于或等于30Mhz时,确保电感的面积和体积较小,电感的损耗较低,第二级电压转换电路22的供电效率较高。需要说明的是,由于图4的降压电路采用了两个开关管,图9的降压电路采用了四个开关管,故第二级电压转换电路22采用图4所示的降压电路,较采用图9所示的降压电路,第一级电压转换电路21的输出电压低,转换效率较高。而且采用图4所示的降压电路需要的开关管数量较少,因此集成度更高。
一种实现方式中,供电电路20中的第二级电压转换电路22可以与负载集成在一起。示例性的,如图10所示,可以将第二级电压转换电路22与系统级芯片(System on Chip,SoC)集成在一起,用于为该系统级芯片供电。该系统级芯片可以包括CPU、GPU、AI处理器和内存等。在该实现方式中,第一级电压转换电路21和第二级电压转换电路22可以为不同的芯片。例如,第一芯片中包括第一级电压转换电路21,第二芯片中包括第二级电压转换电路22,该第二芯片可以为集成了第二级电压转换电路的处理器芯片。
示例性的,如图11所示,由于不同负载的电压需求不同,为了精细化电源管理,提高供电效率,可以采用多个第二级电压转换电路22分别为不同的负载(例如,CPU、GPU、AI处理器和内存)供电。而且本申请提供的第二级电压转换电路22为高频开关电路,其面积和体积很小,因此可以将第二级电压转换电路22与其供电的负载集成在一起,使得供电电路的集成度更高,功率密度更大。
一种实现方式中,如图12所示,供电电路20中的第一级电压转换电路21可以与第二级电压转换电路22集成在一个集成电路(Integrated Circuit,IC)中。
可以理解的,由于网络设备的处理器芯片可以采用5nm、7nm等先进CMOS制程,其供电电压可以降低到0.6V左右,采用本申请实施例的低压总线架构(0.6V-1.3V的电压总线架构),能够有效的提高电路的转换效率,供电效率较高。而且通过结合高频开关技术,能够进一步减小电源方案的面积和体积,功率密度较现有技术有了大幅提升。
本申请实施例提供的供电电路,通过两级电压转换电路为负载供电,其中,第一级电压转换电路可以将电源电压转换为1.1V左右(0.6V-1.3V)的输出电压,将其作为第二级电压转换电路的输入,并通过高频的第二级电压转换电路降压后为负载供电,能够在负载的供电电压较低时,提高第二级电压转换电路的转换效率。由于第二级电压转换电路22为高频开关电路,其工作频率远高于传统电源电路的工作频率,因此能够在满足负载跳变的瞬态性能要求的同时,大大减小供电电路的占板面积。而且与现有技术中每一路电压转换器电路需要按负载的最大峰值电流设计相比,本申请可以将第一级电压转换电路21的峰值功率设计为小于所有与其连接的一个或多个第二级电压转换电路22的峰值功率之和,从而能够避免电路过设计,且进一步减小供电电路的占板面积,提高供电电路的功率密度。

示例性的,为第二从控制器连接的负载供电的第二级电压转换电路22与第一级电压转换电路21连接。由于,本申请实施例中第一级电压转换电路21的峰值功率小于与其连接的所有第二级电压转换电路22的峰值功率之和,因此,第二级电压转换电路22在从第一级电压转换电路21抽取电流为负载供电前,可以先请求第一级电压转换电路21的可用功率。
S1402、第二从控制器接收主控制器发送的功率响应消息。
该功率响应消息中携带第一级电压转换电路21的可用功率。

可以理解的,由于本申请实施例中第一级电压转换电路21的峰值功率小于与其连接的所有第二级电压转换电路22的峰值功率之和,因此,在第一级电压转换电路21的输出功率有限的情况下,可以通过步骤S1401-S1403的限制最大功率机制,将多个峰值业务错开,从而减小电源内阻上损失的能量,提高了电源系统的效率。

该第一基准延迟时间为第一电压的纹波幅度最小时,每个第一级电压转换电路21对应的延迟时间。可以理解的,该第一基准延迟时间可以根据训练得到的算法来获得,本申请实施例对于第一基准延迟时间的具体获取方法并不进行限定。
示例性的,如果多个第一级电压转换电路21的开关管同时开启,将产生极大的瞬态电流,导致电源有很大的电压纹波,因此,可以通过确定电源电压(第一电压)的纹波幅度最小时,每个第一级电压转换电路21对应的延迟时间,使得多个第一级电压转换电路21的开关管错相(错开导通),从而减小电压纹波。

S1604、根据第二基准延迟时间,主控制器调整每个第二级电压转换电路的导通时间。
可以理解的,可以根据上述步骤S1603确定的第二基准延迟时间,调整与一个第一级电压转换电路连接的多个第二级电压转换电路的导通时间,使得该多个第二级电压转换电路22的开关管导通的时间错开,减小第一级电压转换电路21输出电压的电压纹波,提高电源系统的供电效率。例如,当多个负载启动时,若为该多个负载模块供电的第二级电压转换电路22连接同一个第一级电压转换电路21,可以根据该第二基准延迟时间将该多个第二级电压转换电路22开关管导通的时间错开,减小电源电压纹波。
