为了实现双向充电的双向导通与关断功能,一般在电子设备中设置两个背靠背的金属氧化物半导体场效应晶体管(Metal Oxide Semiconductor field effect transistor,MOSFET),避免使用一个MOSFET时,由于MOSFET本身具有体二极管,即便MOSFET关断,还是会有电流通过MOSFET的体二极管泄露,即一个MOSFET无法实现关断功能。然而,MOSFET导通阻抗大,开关频率低,导致器件发热严重,输入输出功率受限。

通过驱动模块控制增强型氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管导通或关断,实现了开关电路的双向导通与关断功能。且由于增强型氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管自身特性不具有体二极管,所以当增强型氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管关断时也不会存在电流泄露的问题,这样一来,通过一个增强型氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管即可实现双向的导通以及关断功能,相比于设置两个背靠背的金属氧化物半导体场效应晶体管,减小了元器件的布局尺寸。此外,由于增强型氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管本身具有导通阻抗低的特性,因此,增强型氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管的设置,可以减少开关电路的损耗,降低开关电路的功耗,进而可以缓解器件发热的问题。

以下对本申请实施例提供的电子设备的具体结构和用途进行说明。
如图1所示,图1示出了本申请实施例提供的一种电子设备的结构示意图,手机100包括对外接口10、开关电路20、充电转换芯片30、电池40和片上系统(System on Chip,SoC)50等结构。其中,片上系统(SoC芯片)50内部例如集成有中央处理器(Central Processing Unit,CPU)、图像处理器(Graphic Processing Unit,GPU)和调制解调器(Modem)等。对外接口10的设置使得手机100可以与外接设备耦合。其中,对外接口10例如为USB接口等。外接设备例如可以包括充电器、移动电源、耳机、待充电手机、平板电脑、笔记本电脑等电子设备。片上系统(SoC芯片)50例如可以和对外接口10耦合,该片上系统(SoC芯片)50可以接收对外接口10的电压,并基于充电协议对接入对外接口10的外接设备的类型进行识别,以确定对外接口10接入的是待充电手机,还是充电器等。
示例性的,结合图1和图2,当对外接口10接入的外接设备为充电器200,即充电器200需要为手机100进行充电时,开关电路20导通。充电器200输出的充电电压通过对外接口10、开关电路20传输至充电转换芯片30。充电转换芯片30对充电电压进行转换,并将转换后的电压传输至电池40,以实现对电池40的充电。此外,还将转换后的电压传输至片上系统(SoC芯片)50,以为片上系统(SoC芯片)50内部集成的CPU、GPU和Modem等供电,保证CPU、GPU和Modem的正常工作。充电完成后,开关电路20关断,充电器200输出的充电电压无法传输至充电转换芯片30。充电转换芯片30不能为电池40供电以及为片上系统(SoC芯片)50内部集成的CPU、GPU和Modem等供电。此时,电池40为片上系统(SoC芯片)50内部集成的CPU、GPU和Modem等提供工作时的电压,保证片上系统(SoC芯片)50内部集成的CPU、GPU和Modem等的正常工作。
示例性的,结合图1和图3,当对外接口10接入的外接设备为待充电手机300时,即手机100需要为待充电手机300进行充电时,开关电路20导通。电池40输出的充电电压通过充电转换芯片30、开关电路20以及对外接口10传输至待充电手机300,以为待充电手机300进行充电。
为了解决背景技术中的问题,本申请实施例提供了一种开关电路,该开关电路包括第一开关模块和驱动模块。该第一开关模块为增强型氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管。增强型氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管包括第一栅极、第一极和第二极。驱动模块与第一栅极耦合,用于向第一栅极输出驱动电压。
可以理解的是,增强型氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管的导通或关断与其阈值电压有关。
对于增强型氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管而言,在正向充电(第一极处的电压需要传 输至第二极处)的情况下,当第一栅极的电压和第二极的电压的差值大于阈值电压时,增强型氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管导通;当第一栅极的电压和第二极的电压的差值小于阈值电压时,增强型氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管关断。在反向充电(第二极处的电压需要传输至第一极处)的情况下,当第一栅极的电压和第一极的电压的差值大于阈值电压时,增强型氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管导通;当第一栅极的电压和第一极的电压的差值小于阈值电压时,增强型氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管关断。
由于第一栅极的电压即为驱动模块输出的驱动电压,因此,可以通过驱动模块输出的驱动电压控制增强型氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管导通或关断,也就是说,为了实现双向充电的双向导通与关断功能,驱动电压是驱动模块向第一栅极输出的一个电压,该电压可以控制增强型氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管的打开或关断。且由于增强型氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管自身特性不具有体二极管,所以当增强型氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管关断时也不会存在电流泄露的问题。这样一来,通过增强型氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管即可实现双向的导通以及关断功能。相比于设置两个背靠背的MOS管,减小了元器件的布局尺寸。此外,由于增强型氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管本身具有导通阻抗低的特性,因此,增强型氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管的设置,可以减少开关电路的损耗,降低开关电路的功耗,以及缓解发热。
对于增强型氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管的类型,本申请实施例不作具体限定。例如可以是普通的增强型氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管,还可以是增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管。
当第一开关模块为普通的增强型氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管时,第一极例如为增强型氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管的漏极,第二极例如为增强型氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管的源极。在正向充电(漏极处的电压需要传输至源极处)的情况下,增强型氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管的第一栅极电压与源极电压的差值大于栅源阈值电压时,增强型氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管导通;增强型氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管的第一栅极电压与源极电压的差值小于栅源阈值电压时,增强型氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管关断。在反向充电(源极处的电压需要传输至漏极处)的情况下,增强型氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管的第一栅极电压与漏极电压的差值大于栅漏阈值电压时,增强型氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管导通;增强型氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管的第一栅极电压与漏极电压的差值小于栅漏阈值电压时,增强型氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管导通。其中,栅源阈值电压和栅漏阈值电压不同。
所谓增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管,即为增强型氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管的第一极和第二极等效。亦即第二极所在的区域到沟道区的距离等于第一极所在的区域到沟道区的距离,且第二极所在的区域的材料与第一极所在的区域的材料相同以及器件结构相同。在正向充电(第一极处的电压需要传输至第二极处)的情况下,增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管的第一栅极电压与第二极电压的差值大于栅极和第二极的阈值电压时,增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管导通;增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管的第一栅极电压与第二极电压的差值小于栅极和第二极的阈值电压时,增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管关断。在反向充电(第二极处的电压需要传输至第一 极处)的情况下,增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管的第一栅极电压与第一极电压的差值大于栅极和第一极的阈值电压时,增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管导通;增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管的第一栅极电压与第一极电压的差值小于栅极和第一极的阈值电压时,增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管关断。其中,栅极和第二极的阈值电压和栅极和第一极的阈值电压相等。
需要说明的是,对于驱动模块的结构,本申请实施例不对驱动模块的具体结构进行限定。例如驱动模块包括驱动芯片和微控制单元(Microcontroller Unit,MCU),其中,MCU和驱动芯片可以单独设置,也可以是驱动芯片上集成有MUC。
通过设置增强型氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管以降低功耗的开关电路有多种,以下以典型示例进行详细说明。为了更加方便、清楚的对后续方案进行描述,下述示例以第一开关模块为增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管为例进行说明。可以理解的是,由于增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管的第一栅极和第二极的阈值电压和第一栅极和第一极的阈值电压相等,因此下述实施例不论是第一栅极和第二极的阈值电压,还是第一栅极和第一极的阈值电压,均称为增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管的阈值电压。此外,为了区分不同阶段时增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管第一栅极接收的驱动电压,下述示例以正向充电时增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管第一栅极接收的驱动电压为第一驱动电压,其中,第一驱动电压可以控制增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管在正向充电时导通;正向关断时增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管第一栅极接收的驱动电压为第二驱动电压,其中,第二驱动电压可以控制增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管正向关断;反向充电时增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管第一栅极接收的驱动电压为第三驱动电压,其中,第三驱动电压可以控制增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管在反向充电时导通;反向关断时增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管第一栅极接收的驱动电压为第四驱动电压,其中,第四驱动电压可以控制增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管反向关断。下述内容不构成对本申请的限定。
一个示例中,如图4所示,开关电路20包括内部节点V BUS、外部节点V USB、第一开关模块21和驱动模块22。第一开关模块21包括增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管。该增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管包括第一栅极G1、第一极D1和第二极D2。驱动模块22包括参考端R1和控制端C。第一极D1和外部节点V USB耦合,第二极D2和参考点R2耦合,参考端R1和参考点R2耦合,内部节点V BUS和第二极D2耦合。驱动模块22的控制端C与第一栅极G1耦合,驱动模块22通过控制端C向第一栅极G1输出驱动电压。结合图5,开关电路20通过外部节点V USB与对外接口10耦合,开关电路20通过内部节点V BUS与充电转换芯片30耦合。
驱动模块22会实时采集参考点R2(第二极D2)处的电压。在正向充电(外部节点V USB接收的充电电压需要传输至内部节点V BUS)的情况下,即需要增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管导通以及保持导通状态时,驱动模块22基于参考点R2(第二极D2)处的电压输出第一驱动电压,其中,第一驱动电压与采集的参考点R2(第二极D2)处的电压的差值实时保持在第一差值,第一差值大于增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管的阈值电压,即第一栅极G1的电压与第二极D2的电压的压差大于增强型双 向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管的阈值电压,这样一来,正向充电时,可以保证增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管一直处于导通状态,进而保证正向充电的正常进行。
当充电完成等情况下,需要使增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管由导通状态变为关断状态时,驱动模块22基于参考点R2(D2)处的电压输出第二驱动电压,其中,第二驱动电压与采集的参考点R2(D2)处的电压的差值实时保持在第二差值,第二差值小于增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管的阈值电压,即第一栅极G1的电压与第二极D2的电压的压差小于增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管的阈值电压,这样一来,使得增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管关断。
在反向充电(内部节点V BUS接收的充电电压需要传输至外部节点V USB)的情况下,即需要增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管导通以及保持导通状态时,驱动模块22基于参考点R2(D2)处的电压输出第三驱动电压,其中,第三驱动电压与采集的参考点R2(D2)处的电压的差值为第三差值,第三差值大于增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管的阈值电压。又因为第一极D1处的电压的最大值等于参考点R2(D2)处的电压,所以第一栅极G1的电压与第一极D1的电压的差值必然大于增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管的阈值电压,这样一来,反向充电时,可以保证增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管一直处于导通状态,进而保证反向充电的正常进行。
当充电完成等情况下,需要使增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管由导通状态变为关断状态时,驱动模块22向第一栅极G1输出第四驱动电压,第四驱动电压例如为0。由于第四驱动电压为0V,而即便由于增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管关断使得第一极D1处的电压下降,第一极D1处的电压也会大于或等于0V,即第四驱动电压(0V)和第一极D1(大于或等于0V)的差值必然会小于或等于0,亦即第一栅极G1的电压与第一极D1的电压的差值必然会小于或等于0,小于增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管的阈值电压。因此,实现了增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管的彻底关断。
通过上述介绍可知,设置一个增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管即可实现双向导通和关断功能,结构简单。此外,由于增强型氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管本身具有导通阻抗低的特性,因此,增强型氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管的设置,可以减少开关电路的损耗,降低开关电路的功耗,以及缓解发热。此外,在正向充电、正向关断以及反向充电时,驱动模块基于参考点的电压输出驱动电压,简化驱动模块的运算过程。
下面结合电子设备对图4所示的开关电路20实现双向导通与关断功能的具体原理进行介绍。其中,以充电电压为20V和增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管的阈值电压为1.5V为例进行的说明。
示例性的,结合图2、图4和图5,当对外接口10接入的外接设备为充电器200,即充电器200需要为手机100进行充电时,亦即外部节点V USB接收的充电电压需要传输至内部节点V BUS时,需要使增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管由关断状态变为导通状态。当增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管为关断状态时,外部节点V USB处的电压为充电电压20V,此时,内部节点V BUS为0V,第一极D1和外部节点V USB处的电压相同,第一栅极G1、第二极D2以及参考点R2与内部节点V BUS的电压相同。为了 使得增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管导通,驱动模块22会实时采集参考点R2的电压(与第二极D2处的电压相同)并基于参考点R2进行运算,使得输出的第一驱动电压与采集到的参考点R2的电压差值实时保持在第一差值5V。因此当驱动模块22采集参考点R2的电压为0V,驱动模块22向第一栅极G1发送5V的第一驱动电压。此时第一栅极G1的电压(5V)和第二极D2的电压(0V)的差值为5V,大于增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管的阈值电压1.5V,增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管导通。第二极D2的电压由0V逐渐上升为20V。由于驱动模块22会实时采集参考点R2(第二极D2)的电压,并基于采集的参考点R2(第二极D2)的电压实时调节输出至第一栅极G1的第一驱动电压,其中,第一驱动电压和参考点R2(第二极D2)的电压的差值一直保持在第一差值5V。所以当参考点R2(第二极D2)的电压逐渐上升为20V时,驱动模块22也会基于参考点R2(第二极D2)的电压实时调节其输出的第一驱动电压由5V逐渐上升为25V。这样一来,第一栅极G1和第二极D2的压差保持在5V,即大于增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管的阈值电压1.5V,在充电过程中,使得增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管一直处于导通的状态。外部节点V USB的充电电压20V通过导通增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管传输至内部节点V BUS,以通过内部节点V BUS传输至充电转换芯片30。充电转换芯片30对充电电压进行转换,并将转换后的电压传输至电池40,以实现对电池40的充电。此外,还将转换后的电压传输至片上系统(SoC芯片)50,以为片上系统(SoC芯片)50内部集成的CPU、GPU和Modem等供电,保证CPU、GPU和Modem的正常工作。
当充电完成;或者,在充电过程中遇到过大的电压会对手机100造成损伤等异常情况时,需要增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管由导通状态变为关断状态。当增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管为导通状态时,外部节点V USB、内部节点V BUS、第一极D1、第二极D2以及参考点R2的电压均为充电电压20V,第一栅极G1的电压为25V。为了使得增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管关断,驱动模块22会实时采集参考点R2的电压(与第二极D2处的电压相同)并基于参考点R2进行运算,使得输出的第一驱动电压与采集到的参考点R2的电压差值实时保持在第二差值0V。因此当驱动模块22采集参考点R2的电压为20V,驱动模块22向第一栅极G1发送20V的第二驱动电压。此时,第一栅极G1的电压和第二极D2的电压的差值为0V,小于增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管的阈值电压1.5V,增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管关断。且由于驱动模块22会实时采集参考点R2(第二极D2)的电压,并基于采集的参考点R2(第二极D2)的电压实时调节输出至第一栅极G1的第二驱动电压,其中,第二驱动电压和参考点R2(第二极D2)的电压的差值一直保持在第二差值0V。即便增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管关断后,参考点R2(第二极D2)的电压会下降至0V,驱动模块22输出的第二驱动电压也会随之下降,使得第一开关模块21的第一栅极G1和第二极D2的电压的差值一直保持在0V,保证增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管一直处于关断状态。这样一来,充电器200输出的充电电压无法传输至充电转换芯片30。充电转换芯片30不能为电池40供电以及为片上系统(SoC芯片)50内部集成的CPU、GPU和Modem等供电。
示例性的,结合图3、图4和图5,当对外接口10接入的外接设备为待充电手机300,即手机100需要为待充电手机300进行充电时,亦即内部节点V BUS接收的充电电压需要传输至外部节点V USB时,需要使增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管由关断状态变为导通状态。当增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管为关断状态时,内部节点V BUS处的电压为充电电压20V,此时,外部节点V USB为0V,第一极D1和外部节点V USB的电压相同,参考点R2、第二极D2与内部节点V BUS处的电压相等。为了使得增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管导通,驱动模块22会实时采集参考点R2(第二极D2)的电压,并基于采集的参考点R2(第二极D2)进行运算,使得输出的第三驱动电压与采集到的参考点R2的电压差值实时保持在第三差值5V。因此当驱动模块22采集参考点R2的电压为20V,驱动模块22通过控制端C向第一栅极G1发送25V的第三驱动电压。此时第一栅极G1的电压(25V)和第一极D1的电压(0V)的差值为25V,大于增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管的阈值电压1.5V,增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管导通,第一极D1的电压由0V逐渐上升为20V。由于参考点R2(第二极D2)的电压一直保持在20V,所以驱动模块22一直向第一栅极G1发送25V的第三驱动电压,第三驱动电压(25V)与第一极D1(最大为20V)的电压的差值大于或等于5V,大于增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管的阈值电压1.5V,在充电过程中,使得增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管一直处于导通的状态,保证充电的正常进行。
当充电完成;或者,在充电过程中遇到过大的电压会对待充电手机300造成损伤等异常情况时,需要增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管由导通状态变为关断状态。当增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管为导通状态时,内部节点V BUS、外部节点VUSB、第一极D1、第二极D2以及参考点R2的电压均为充电电压20V。第一栅极G1的电压例如为25V。为了使得增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管关断。此时驱动模块22不能基于参考点R2进行运算,使得输出的第四驱动电压与参考点R2的电压的差值保持在第四差值0V,即第四驱动电压与参考点R2的电压相等。这是因为如果驱动模块22基于参考点R2的电压输出第四驱动电压,由于参考点R2的电压与内部节点V BUS相同都是20V,那么驱动模块22输出的第四驱动电压为20V。而又因为第一极D1的电压会由于增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管关断而逐渐降低,例如当降低到15V时,第一栅极G1(20V)与第一极D1(15V)的差值为5V,增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管导通,不能实现增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管的关断。因此为了防止增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管在关断过程中出现导通的问题,本实施例中,驱动模块22直接输出0V的第四驱动电压。当驱动模块22输出0V的第四驱动电压至第一栅极G1时,由于即便第一极D1处的电压下降,第一极D1处的电压也会大于或等于0V,亦即第一栅极G1的电压(0V)与第一极D1的电压(大于或等于0V)的差值必然会小于或等于0,小于增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管的阈值电压1.5V。因此,实现了增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管的彻底关断。
又一个示例中,参见图6,与上一示例不同的是,开关电路20还包括第二开关模块23。第二开关模块23耦合于第二极D2和内部节点V BUS之间。第二开关模块23包括MOSFET,例如可以包括NMOSFET。NMOSFET包括第二栅极G2、源极S和漏极 D3。第二开关模块23的源极S与第一开关模块21的第二极D2耦合,第二开关模块23的漏极D3与内部节点V BUS耦合,第二开关模块23的第二栅极G2与第一开关模块21的第一栅极G1耦合。
设置第二开关模块23,可以使参考点R2与内部节点V BUS隔开,这样一来,不仅在正向充电、正向关断以及反向充电时,驱动模块22基于参考点R2的电压输出驱动电压,以使第一开关模块21在正向充电和反向充电时导通以及在正向关断时关断;且在反向关断时,驱动模块22可以基于参考点R2的电压输出驱动电压,以使第一开关模块21在反向关断时彻底关断,即在不同的阶段,驱动模块22都是基于参考点R2的电压输出驱动电压,如此,进一步简化驱动模块的运算过程。此外,虽然本实施例中开关电路20包括增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管以及NMOSFET,但是由于增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管本身具有导通阻抗低的特性,因此,相比于两个MOSFET,本实施例的开关电路20的导通阻抗降低,经验证,包括增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管以及NMOSFET的开关电路20相比于两个MOSFET的开关电路,导通阻抗可下降25%,这样一来,可以减少开关损耗,降低功耗,缓解发热。
此外,继续参见图6,开关电路20还包括电阻24,电阻24的一端与参考点R2耦合,电阻24的另一端接地设置。通过设置电阻24,在正向关断和反向关断时,可以使参考点R2的电压快速的下降至0V,驱动模块22基于参考点R2的电压也快速的下降至0V,即使得增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管和NMOSFET里的电荷快速的放掉,进而使得增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管和NMOSFET快速的关断。
示例性的,电阻24的电阻值例如大于100千欧。当设置电阻24的电阻值大于100千欧时,既不会使得参考点R2在对地进行放电时,电流过大,同时还可以使得参考点R2的电压较为快速的下降至0V。
需要说明的是,上述示例中以开关电路20中设置电阻24,且电阻24的一端接地设置为例进行的说明,但不构成对本申请的限定。可选的,为了实现增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管和NMOSFET快速的关断,参见图7,还可以将驱动模块22的参考端R1接地设置。通过参考端R1接地设置使得参考点R2的电压快速的下降至0V,以及驱动模块22基于参考点R2的电压也快速的下降至0V。
以下结合电子设备对图6所示的开关电路20实现双向导通与关断功能的具体原理进行介绍。其中,以第二开关模块23为NMOSFET,且NMOSFET的阈值电压为2V为例进行的说明。
图9是本实施例提供的正向充电时的仿真图,结合图2、图8和图9,当对外接口10接入的外接设备为充电器200,即充电器200需要为手机100进行充电时,亦即外部节点V USB接收的充电电压需要传输至内部节点V BUS时,需要使增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管和NMOSFET由关断状态变为导通状态。
关断阶段,即图9中在100μs之前,增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管和NMOSFET均关断,外部节点V USB处的电压为充电电压20V,此时,内部节点V BUS为0V,第一栅极G1和第二栅极G2也为0V,参考点R2、第二极D2和源极S的电压与内部节点V BUS相同。
导通阶段,为了使得增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管和NMOSFET导通,驱动模块22会实时采集参考点R2的电压(与第二极D2处的电压相同)并基于参考点R2进行运算,使得输出的第一驱动电压与采集到的参考点R2的电压差值实时保持在第一差值5V。因此当驱动模块22采集参考点R2的电压为0V,驱动模块22在100μs时逐渐向第一栅极G1和第二栅极G2施加第一驱动电压至5V。通过图9可知,在101.8μs时,第一栅极G1和第二栅极G2施加的第一驱动电压开始大于2V,即第一栅极G1(大于2V)和第二极D2(0V)的电压差值大于增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管的阈值电压1.5V,增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管导通,第二栅极G1(大于2V)和源极S(0V)的电压差值大于NMOSFET的阈值电压2V,NMOSFET导通,内部节点V BUS处开始有电压。
上升阶段,101.8μs到105μs之间,增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管和NMOSFET均导通后,内部节点V BUS处的电压从0V上升至20V。当然参考点R2处的电压也会从0V上升至20V。由于驱动模块22会实时采集参考点R2的电压(与第二极D2处的电压相同)并基于参考点R2进行运算,使得输出的第一驱动电压与采集到的参考点R2的电压差值实时保持在第一差值5V。因此,当参考点R2处的电压也会从0V上升至20V,驱动模块22的控制端C输出的第一驱动电压会逐渐上升为25V。
导通保持阶段,105μs之后,内部节点V BUS和参考点R2处的电压均保持在20V,驱动模块22的控制端C输出的第一驱动电压也保持在25V,这样一来,第一栅极G1(25V)和第二极D2(20V)的压差保持在5V,即大于增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管的阈值电压1.5V,第二栅极G2(25V)和源极S(20V)的压差保持在5V,即大于NMOSFET的阈值电压2V,在充电过程中,使得增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管和NMOSFET一直处于导通的状态。外部节点V USB的充电电压20V通过导通增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管传输至内部节点V BUS,以通过内部节点V BUS传输至充电转换芯片30。充电转换芯片30对充电电压进行转换,并将转换后的电压传输至电池40,以实现对电池40的充电。此外,还将转换后的电压传输至片上系统(SoC芯片)50,以为片上系统(SoC芯片)50内部集成的CPU、GPU和Modem等供电,保证CPU、GPU和Modem的正常工作。

关断保持阶段,312.3μs之后,内部节点V BUS和参考点R2处的电压均保持在0V,驱动模块22的控制端C输出的第二驱动电压也保持在0V,这样一来,第一栅极G1(0V)和第二极D2(0V)的压差保持在0V,即小于增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管的阈值电压1.5V,第二栅极G2(0V)和源极S(0V)的压差保持在0V,即小于NMOSFET的阈值电压2V,使得增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管和NMOSFET一直处于关断的状态。充电器200输出的充电电压无法传输至充电转换芯片30。充电转换芯片30不能为电池40供电以及为片上系统(SoC芯片)50内部集成的CPU、GPU和Modem等供电。

导通保持阶段,110μs之后,外部节点V USB和参考点R2处的电压均保持在20V,驱动模块22的控制端C输出的第三驱动电压也保持在25V,这样一来,第一栅极G1(25V)和第一极D1(20V)的压差保持在5V,即大于增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管的阈值电压1.5V,第二栅极G2(25V)和源极S(20V)的压差保持在5V,即大于NMOSFET的阈值电压2V,在充电过程中,使得增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管和NMOSFET一直处于导通的状态,保证充电的正常进行。

导通阶段,即图12中在310μs之前,增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管和NMOSFET均导通,外部节点V USB、内部节点V BUS、第二极D2、源极S、漏极D3以及参考点R2的电压均为充电电压20V。第一栅极G1和第二栅极G2的电压为25V。
关断阶段,为了使得增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管和NMOSFET关断,驱动模块22会实时采集参考点R2的电压(与第二极D2处的电压相同)并基于参考点R2进行运算,使得输出的第四驱动电压与采集到的参考点R2的电压差值实时保持在第四差值0V。因此,在310μs时,驱动模块22输出的第四驱动电压逐渐下降至20V。通过图12可知,在310.7μs时,第一栅极G1和第二栅极G2施加的第四驱动电压下降至21.5V,即第一栅极G1(21.5V)和第一极D1(20V)的电压差值等于增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管的阈值电压1.5V,第二栅极G1(21.5V)和源极S(20V)的电压差值小于NMOSFET的阈值电压2V,增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管和NMOSFET开始关断,内部节点V BUS处的电压开始从20V下降。
下降阶段,310.7μs到350μs之间,由于增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管和NMOSFET在关断时,并不能一下彻底关断。因此,内部节点V BUS处的电压从20V逐渐下降至0V。当然,参考点R2处的电压从20V逐渐下降至0V。由于驱动模块22会实时采集参考点R2的电压并基于参考点R2进行运算,使得输出的第四驱动电压与采集到的参考点R2的电压差值实时保持在第四差值0V。因此,当参考点R2处的电压从20V逐渐下降至0V,驱动模块22的控制端C输出的第四驱动电压随之会逐渐下降至0V。
关断保持阶段,350μs之后,内部节点V BUS和参考点R2处的电压均保持在0V,驱动模块22的控制端C输出的第四驱动电压也保持在0V,这样一来,第一栅极G1(0V)和第一极D1(0V)的压差保持在0V,即小于增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管的阈值电压1.5V,第二栅极G2(0V)和源极S(0V)的压差保持在0V,即小于NMOSFET的阈值电压2V,使得增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管和NMOSFET一直处于关断的状态。实现了增强型双向氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管的彻底 关断。

由于第二开关模块23并未位于充电通路上,因此第二开关模块23例如可以为小功率MOSFET,例如可以为小功率Si NMOSFET。示例性的,第二开关模块22的导通阻抗的范围是大于或等于1欧姆,且小于或等于100欧姆;第二开关模块22栅极到源极的耐压范围是大于或等于5V,且小于或等于60V;漏源击穿电压的范围大于或等于10V,且小于或等于120V。这样一来,本示例除了具有上述示例所具有的有益效果外,由于第二开关模块23可以为小功率MOSFET,所以本实施例的开关电路20可以进一步降低导通阻抗。经验证,本实施例的开关电路20可使导通阻抗下降40%以上,这样一来,可以进一步减少开关损耗,降低功耗,缓解发热。
