Definitions
- the present application example relates to the field of circuit technology, and in particular to a power switching circuit and an electronic device.
- a voltage converter (regulator) is required to convert the voltage of the power source (such as a battery) into the required operating voltage.

- the pin on the power management chip can output an enable signal to the BUCK chip to control the working state of the BUCK chip.
- the working state of the BUCK chip is controlled by the system power supply and the power management chip.
- the BUCK chip is in working state only when the system power supply has an electrical signal output and the enable signal output by the power management chip is at a high level.
- the output pin on the BUCK chip is coupled to the source of the third switch tube Q3, the drain of the third switch tube Q3 is coupled to the input end of the power management chip and the Hall sensor respectively, and the gate of the third switch tube Q3 is coupled to the drain of the second switch tube Q2.

- the on state/off state of the first switch circuit can be realized by controlling the level signal of the PG pin on the BUCK chip. Specifically, since the gate of the first switch tube Q1 is coupled to the PG pin of the BUCK chip, if the PG pin of the BUCK chip is controlled to output a low level signal, the signal received by the gate of the first switch tube Q1 is a low level. Since the first switch tube Q1 is a P-MOS tube, the first switch tube Q1 is in the on state at this time, and the first switch circuit is in the on state.
- the PG pin of the BUCK chip is controlled to output a high level signal, the signal received by the gate of the first switch tube Q1 is a high level, and the first switch tube Q1 is in the off state at this time, then the first switch circuit is in the off state.
- the on/off state of the second switch circuit can also be achieved by controlling the level signal of the PG pin on the BUCK chip. Specifically, since the gate of the second switch tube Q2 is coupled to the PG pin of the BUCK chip, if the PG pin of the BUCK chip is controlled to output a high-level signal, the signal received by the gate of the second switch tube Q2 is a high-level signal. Since the second switch tube Q2 is an N-MOS tube, the second switch tube Q2 is in the on state at this time. Since the source of the second switch tube Q2 is coupled to the reference ground potential (grounded), the gate of the third switch tube Q3 is coupled to the drain of the second switch tube Q2.
- both the source and the drain are low-level, and the signal received by the gate of the third switch tube Q3 is also low-level. If the third switch tube Q3 is a P-MOS tube, the third switch tube Q3 is in the on state at this time, and the second switch circuit is in the on state at this time.
- the signal received by the gate of the second switch tube Q2 is a low-level signal. Since the second switch tube Q2 is an N-MOS tube, the second switch tube Q2 is in the disconnected state at this time.
- the drain of the second switch tube Q2 is coupled to the system power supply (VSYS) through the second pull-up resistor R2, and the source of the second switch tube Q2 is coupled to the reference ground potential (grounded). Since the second switch tube Q2 is in the disconnected state at this time, the drain of the second switch tube Q2 will not be pulled to a low level by the reference ground potential, but will be pulled to a high level by the system power supply (VSYS) through the second pull-up resistor R2.
- the signal received by the gate of the third switch tube Q3 is also High level, since the third switch tube Q3 is a P-MOS tube, the third switch tube Q3 is in an off state at this time, and the second switch circuit is in an off state at this time.
- the power management chip and the Hall sensor can be powered by an LDO power supply system or a BUCK power supply system, and the conduction of the first switch circuit and the second switch circuit can be switched to control the use of different power supply systems to power the laptop computer in different states.
- LDO power supply system or a BUCK power supply system
- the conduction of the first switch circuit and the second switch circuit can be switched to control the use of different power supply systems to power the laptop computer in different states.
- the technical solution in this application is: when the notebook is in the shutdown state (the upper cover is closed on the body), the Hall sensor sends a first detection signal to the power management chip, and the notebook computer is powered by the LDO power supply system.
- the Hall sensor sends a second detection signal to the power management chip, and the notebook computer is powered by the BUCK power supply system.
- the input pin and enable pin of the LDO chip are coupled to the system power supply (VSYS).
- VSYS system power supply
- the output pin of the LDO chip can also provide an electrical signal output. Therefore, when the battery of the notebook is in place or the adapter is connected (the system power supply (VSYS) comes from the output of the battery or adapter, so the default system power supply (VSYS) has an output), the LDO chip also maintains the output state.
- the LDO chip can maintain the output state without any other control and operation, so as to power the laptop in the off state.
- the state of the laptop computer is mainly determined by detecting whether the upper cover and the body of the laptop computer are closed by the Hall sensor.
- the Hall sensor sends a first detection signal to the power management chip, indicating that the laptop computer is in a shutdown state.
- the power management chip After receiving the first detection signal sent by the Hall sensor, the power management chip sends a low-level enable signal to the BUCK chip.
- the input pin of the BUCK is coupled to the system power supply, since the signal received by its enable pin is a low-level signal, the BUCK chip is in a non-working state, and no electrical signal is output from its output end.
- the BUCK chip Since the BUCK chip is in a non-working state, that is, the BUCK chip has no electrical signal output, its output pin is at a low level.
- the PG pin on the BUCK chip is coupled to the output pin on the BUCK through the first pull-up resistor R1, so the PG pin is also at a low level.
- the gate of the first switch tube Q1 is coupled to the PG pin of the BUCK chip, so the signal received by the gate of the first switch tube Q1 is also a low-level signal, and the first switch tube Q1 is in a conducting state, so the first switch circuit is also in a conducting state. Since the LDO chip is always connected to the system power supply and is in an output state.
- the system power supply can power the power management chip and the Hall sensor through the LDO chip and the first switch circuit to ensure that the laptop is still powered when it is turned off.
- the Hall sensor can monitor whether the laptop is open, and the power management chip can perform corresponding control according to the detection signal of the Hall sensor, so as to perform corresponding power supply system switching after the laptop is opened.
- the Hall sensor When the upper cover is separated from the body and maintains a certain angle, the Hall sensor sends a second detection signal to the power management chip, indicating that the laptop is in working state.
- the angle can be set according to actual conditions. For example, if the angle between the upper cover and the body is greater than 10°, the laptop is considered to be in working state. Of course, in actual use, the angle is generally greater than or equal to 90°, so that users can use it normally.
- the power management chip After receiving the second detection signal from the Hall sensor, the power management chip sends a high-level enable signal to the BUCK chip.
- the input pin of the BUCK chip is coupled to the system power supply, and the BUCK chip
- the signal received by the enable pin is a high-level signal, so the BUCK chip is in working state, its output end is in output state, and the output pin of the BUCK chip is at a high level.
- the PG pin on the BUCK chip Since the output pin of the BUCK chip is at a high level, and the PG pin on the BUCK chip is coupled to the output pin on the BUCK through the first pull-up resistor R1, the PG pin is pulled to a high level through the pull-up resistor.
- the gate of the first switch tube Q1 is coupled to the PG pin of the BUCK chip, so the signal received by the gate of the first switch tube Q1 is also a high level signal. At this time, the first switch tube Q1 is in an off state, so the first switch circuit is also in an off state.
- the gate of the second switch tube Q2 is also coupled to the PG pin of the BUCK chip, the signal received by the gate of the second switch tube Q2 is also a high-level signal, and the second switch tube Q2 is an N-MOS tube, so the second switch tube Q2 is in the on state at this time. Since the source of the second switch tube Q2 is connected to the reference ground potential, at this time, the source and drain of the second switch tube Q2 are pulled down to a low level by the reference ground potential.
- the gate of the third switch tube Q3 is coupled to the drain of the second switch tube Q2, the signal received by the gate of the third switch tube Q3 is a low-level signal, and the third switch tube Q3 is a P-MOS tube, so the third switch tube Q3 is in the on state.
- the source and drain of the third switch tube Q3 are respectively coupled to the output pin of the BUCK chip and the power management chip and the Hall sensor that need to be powered. At this time, the second switch circuit is in the on state.
- the BUCK chip is connected to the system power supply and is in working state, and the second switch circuit is in the on state; although the LDO chip is also connected to the system power supply and is in the output state, the first switch circuit is in the off state. Therefore, the LDO power supply system cannot supply power to the power management chip and the Hall sensor, and the power management chip and the Hall sensor are powered by the BUCK power supply system. In other words, the switch from the LDO power supply system to the BUCK power supply system is realized.
- the Hall sensor When the user closes the upper cover and the body of the laptop, the Hall sensor will send a first detection signal to the power management chip.
- the power supply system of the laptop is switched to the LDO power supply system, and the BUCK power supply system does not supply power at this time. That is, when the upper cover of the laptop is closed, the power supply system of the laptop is switched from the BUCK power supply system to the LDO power supply system.
- the opening and closing of the laptop is detected by the Hall sensor, and the power management chip controls the working state of the BUCK chip according to the detection result of the Hall sensor, thereby controlling the on/off of the first switch circuit and the second switch circuit, thereby realizing the switching between the LDO power supply system and the BUCK power supply system.
- the laptop can match different power supply systems when working in different states.
- the LDO power supply system supplies power to the laptop computer, that is, the default state is that the laptop computer is in the shutdown state.
- the power supply system of the laptop computer switches from the LDO power supply system to the BUCK power supply system.
- the VSYS line in Figure 2 represents the timing diagram of the system power electrical signal.
- the first switch tube Q1 is in the on state, and the system power supplies the LDO chip, and then the power management chip and the Hall sensor are powered through the LDO power supply system.
- the LDO_OUT line in Figure 2 represents the level change timing diagram of the output pin on the LDO chip, which is slightly later than the level change time of the system power electrical signal.
- the POWER_OUT line in Figure 2 represents the level change time at the input end of the power management chip at this time. Since the input end of the power management chip is connected to the output pin on the chip, the power management chip and the Hall sensor are powered on. It is in the on state, so the level change time on the input of the power management chip is the same as the level change time of the output pin on the LDO chip.
- the HALL_OUT line in Figure 2 represents the timing diagram of the Hall sensor transmitting a detection signal to the power management chip. Its change time is later than the change time of LDO_OUT, indicating that the laptop switches from the LDO power supply system in the default state to the BUCK power supply system.
- the EC_BUCK_EN line in Figure 2 represents the level change timing of the enable signal sent by the power management chip to the BUCK chip. Since the enable signal is sent after the Hall sensor transmits the detection signal to the power management chip, its change time is later than the change time of HALL_OUT.
- the BUCK_OUT line and BUCK_OUT_PG line in Figure 2 respectively represent the level change timing of the output pin on the BUCK chip and the level change timing of the PG pin on the BUCK chip. Since the BUCK chip is in working state and outputs electrical signals only after receiving the enable signal at a high level. Therefore, the level change time of the output pin on the BUCK chip is later than the change time of the enable signal sent by the power management chip to the BUCK chip, and the level change of the PG pin on the BUCK chip is affected by the level change of the output pin on the BUCK chip. Therefore, the level change time of the PG pin on the BUCK chip is later than the level change time of the output pin on the BUCK chip.
- an embodiment of the present application provides an electronic device, which includes a power switching circuit described in the above embodiment, and the electronic device can be a laptop computer.
