Detailed Description
The following description of the embodiments of the present invention will be made clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which it is apparent that the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present invention, but not all embodiments.
The present invention provides an interference detection circuit 10, as shown in fig. 1, comprising:
a detection element 11 including a PN junction for receiving an interference signal;
the interference determination sub-circuit 12 determines whether or not the detection element 11 is interfered based on the magnitude of leakage when the detection element 11 is turned off.
The PN junction has unidirectional conduction characteristics, when high voltage is connected to the N end of the PN junction and low voltage is connected to the P end of the PN junction, the PN junction is reversely biased to be in an off state, the equivalent resistance of the PN junction is infinite, and no or only tiny current flows to the P end when the PN junction is in the off state, and the PN junction is called PN junction leakage in the case. When the PN junction of the detection element 11 receives an interference signal, the leakage current of the PN junction increases rapidly, and the equivalent resistance thereof becomes small. The present invention uses a conventional semiconductor element including a PN junction as the detection element 11 based on this characteristic, and controls the detection element 11 to be in an off state to receive an interference signal in the off state, and the interference judging sub-circuit 12 is connected to the detection element 11, and can recognize whether the detection element 11 is interfered by judging the magnitude of the leakage of the detection element 11.
Compared with the prior art, the invention does not need to rely on an external interference detector to detect the interference signal, does not need to design a complex interface circuit to realize connection with the interference detector, and can save circuit area and cost.
There are many semiconductor elements including PN junctions including, but not limited to, diodes, transistors, MOS transistors, etc. The embodiment of the present invention can use any semiconductor element including a PN junction as the detection element 11 and connect the detection element 11 between high and low voltages so that the detection element 11 receives an interference signal in an off state. For example, if the detection element 11 is a diode, the anode of the diode is connected to a low voltage and the cathode is connected to a high voltage, so that the diode is turned off. For example, if the detection element 11 is an NMOS transistor, the source (N-doped) and the gate of the NMOS transistor may be commonly connected to a low voltage (e.g. grounded), and then the source (N-doped) may be connected to a high voltage (e.g. VDD) to form a GGNMOS, where the potential of the P-type substrate (or P-type well) of the NMOS transistor is lower than the potential of the source, so that the detection element 11 is in an off state based on the same principle as that the GGNMOS is used as an ESD protection device. For example, the detection element 11 is an NPN bipolar transistor, the base (P-type) and emitter (N-type) of which are connected to a low voltage, and the collector (N-type) is connected to a high voltage, so as to be in an off state.
Since the detection element 11 including the PN junction is connected between the high voltage and the low voltage to be in the off state, when there is an interference signal, the leakage current of the PN junction is remarkably increased and the equivalent resistance thereof becomes small. Based on this principle, the present invention can design different interference judging sub-circuits 12.
In an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 2, the interference determination subcircuit 12 may include a sampling module 121 and a comparing module 122; the sampling module 121 generates a detection signal based on the leakage of electricity when the detection element 11 is turned off; the comparison module 122 judges whether the detection element 11 is interfered based on the detection signal and the detection threshold value, and outputs an interference flag signal when it is determined that the detection element 11 is interfered. In the present embodiment, the sampling module 121 includes at least an element connected in series with the detection element 11 to generate a detection signal based on the leakage of electricity when the detection element 11 is turned off.
The detection signal may be a voltage signal or a current signal, and if the detection signal is a detection voltage, the detection threshold is a voltage threshold corresponding to the detection voltage; if the detection signal is a detection current, the detection threshold is a current threshold corresponding to the detection current.
The element connected in series with the detection element 11 may be a resistor, a MOS transistor, a capacitor, or the like. In fig. 2, a high voltage connected to the detection element 11 and the sampling module 121 after being connected in series is represented by a power supply voltage VDD, a low voltage is represented by a common ground voltage VSS, a PN junction in the detection element 11 is represented by a diode, and a signal output by the comparison module 122 is represented by OUT, wherein when the detection element 11 is disturbed, the signal OUT output by the comparison module 122 is valid, and represents the disturbance flag signal.
In some possible implementations, the sampling module 121 includes a first resistive element 1211 in series with the detection element 11, and generates the detection signal based on leakage of the first resistive element 1211 when the detection element 11 is turned off.
In this embodiment, the first resistor 1211 is connected to the series circuit in which the detection element 11 is located, and the first resistor 1211 may be directly connected to the detection element 11 or indirectly connected to the detection element 11 through a device such as a first MOS device 1212 described below.
If a plurality of first resistor elements 1211 are connected in series with the detecting element 11, a node between the plurality of first resistor elements 1211 may be used to output a detecting signal, for example, after the two first resistor elements 1211 are connected in series with the detecting element 11, an intermediate node voltage of the two first resistor elements 1211 may be used as the detecting signal; for example, a voltage difference across at least one first resistive element 1211 among the plurality of first resistive elements 1211 is used as the detection signal. Of course, as shown in fig. 3, a first resistor 1211 may be connected in series with the detecting element 11, and a connection node between the first resistor 1211 and the detecting element 11 may be used to generate the detecting signal.
The implementation principle of the detection signal output after the first resistor element 1211 is connected in series with the detection element 11 in the off state, which can characterize whether the detection element 11 receives the interference signal, is described below, and will not be repeated herein.
In some possible implementations, the sampling module 121 includes a first MOS element 1212 in series with the detection element 11, and generates the detection signal based on leakage when the first MOS element 1212 and the detection element 11 are turned off.
Further, as shown in fig. 4 or fig. 5, the drain terminal or the source terminal of the first MOS device 1212 is connected in series with the detection device 11, and the gate terminal of the first MOS device 1212 is connected to the drain terminal thereof or to the external input voltage Vb capable of turning on the first MOS device 1212; wherein, the detection signal is generated based on the leakage current when the first MOS element 1212 and the detection element 11 are turned off.
In this implementation manner, the first MOS element 1212 may be a PMOS tube or an NMOS tube, where a source or a drain of the first MOS element 1212 is connected to a serial circuit where the detection element 11 is located, and the source or the drain of the first MOS element 1212 may be directly connected to the detection element 11 or indirectly connected to the detection element 11 through a resistor, for example.
If a plurality of first MOS devices 1212 are connected in series with the detection device 11, a detection signal can be output by using a connection node between any two of the first MOS devices 1212. For example, two first MOS elements 1212 and the detecting element 11 are disposed in the same series circuit, wherein the drain and gate of the first MOS element 1212 (for convenience of description, the first MOS element 1212 is referred to as a) are commonly connected to the power supply voltage VDD, the source of the first MOS element 1212 (for convenience of description, the first MOS element 1212 is referred to as B) is connected to the drain and gate of the second first MOS element 1212, the source of the second first MOS element 1212 is connected to the detecting element 11, the detecting element 11 is grounded, and in this example, the source of a may be used as an output node of the sampling module 121 to generate the detecting signal, or the source of B may be used as an output node of the sampling module 121 to generate the detecting signal.
Alternatively, a source or drain of the first MOS device 1212 may be connected in series with the detecting device 11, and a gate of the first MOS device 1212 may be connected to a drain thereof or to an external input voltage Vb capable of turning on the first MOS device 1212, and the drain or source of the first MOS device 1212 connected to the detecting device 11 may be used to generate the detecting signal. For example, in fig. 4 and 5, the drain terminal of the first MOS device 1212 is directly connected to the detection device 11, and the detection signal is generated from the drain terminal of the first MOS device 1212.
The implementation principle that the detection signal output after the first MOS element 1212 is connected in series with the detection element 11 in the off state can represent whether the detection element 11 receives the interference signal may be referred to the following description, which is not repeated herein.
Since the circuit structure of the sampling module 121 connected to the detection element 11 is unchanged, when the detection element 11 is disturbed to cause an increase in leakage current, the detection signal is also increased or decreased.
In some possible implementations (not shown), sampling module 121 includes a capacitive element and a reset unit; a capacitive element connected in series with the detection element 11, the capacitive element receiving a leakage current flowing out of the detection element 11 to generate a detection signal; the reset unit resets the voltage of the capacitive element to an initial state at preset time intervals. In this embodiment, the capacitive element is connected to the P-terminal of the detecting element 11 to receive the leakage current flowing out of the detecting element 11, and the leakage current charges the capacitive element, so that the output voltage of the capacitive element changes, and when the detecting element 11 receives the leakage current due to the interference signal, the output voltage of the capacitive element changes significantly, so that the output voltage of the capacitive element can be used as the detection signal. Since the detection element 11 also generates a small leakage current when the interference signal is not received, the continuous charging of the capacitive element by the small leakage current may cause the output voltage of the capacitive element to reach the detection threshold, thereby misjudging. In order to avoid misjudgment of interference, the sampling module 121 of this implementation manner further includes a reset unit, where the reset unit resets (e.g. may use a manner of discharging the capacitive element) the voltage of the capacitive element to an initial state according to a preset time interval, where the preset time interval should be less than a duration of the foregoing minute leakage current to charge the capacitive element so that the output voltage of the capacitive element reaches the detection threshold.
In some possible implementations, as shown in fig. 3-5, the comparison module 122 includes a load element 1221 and a second MOS element 1222, wherein the detection threshold is an on threshold of the second MOS element 1222; the load element 1221 and the source or drain of the second MOS element 1222 are connected to form a series circuit, and the gate of the second MOS element 1222 controls whether the series circuit is turned on or not based on the detection signal and the on threshold thereof to output an interference flag signal. In this implementation, the detection signal is input to the gate terminal of the second MOS element 1222, and whether the second MOS element 1222 is turned on or not can be controlled based on whether the difference between the detection signal and the source terminal of the second MOS element 1222 exceeds the turn-on threshold, so as to realize whether the series circuit is turned on or not. Since the output voltage of the load element 1221 or the voltage of the connection node of the load element 1221 and the second MOS element 1222 is definitely different when the series circuit is conductive or non-conductive, the present embodiment may use the voltage signal of the connection node of the load element 1221 and the second MOS element 1222 or the voltage signal output by the load element 1221 as the interference flag signal.
The second MOS device 1222 may be implemented as an NMOS device or as a PMOS device. Since the NMOS has a higher G potential than S potential, its VGS is generally represented by a positive voltage, the PMOS has a higher S potential than G potential, and its VGS is generally represented by a negative voltage. For ease of description, the on threshold of the second MOS element 1222 to which the present invention refers should be understood as the absolute value of VGS.
The interference flag signal may be designed to be output when the series circuit is conductive or to be output when the series circuit is non-conductive, and the interference detection circuit 10 may be designed based on practical application, so as to determine the signal waveform of the interference flag signal.
The load element 1221 may be a resistor, a MOS transistor, a capacitor, or the like. In the examples of fig. 3-5, the load element 1221 and the second MOS element 1222 form a series circuit connected between the power supply voltage and ground, and the invention is not limited with respect to whether the load element 1221 or the second MOS element 1222 is grounded in the series circuit.
Based on the foregoing implementations, the output of the interference flag signal will be described using some of the circuits shown in fig. 3-5 as examples.
In an example, as shown in fig. 3, the sampling module 121 is a first resistor 1211, where one end of the first resistor 1211 is connected to a power voltage, the other end is connected to an N-terminal of the detecting element 11, and a P-terminal of the detecting element 11 is connected to a common ground Voltage (VSS), and one end of the first resistor 1211 connected to the detecting element 11 is used for outputting a detection signal. The comparison module 122 includes a load element 1221 and a second MOS element 1222, the second MOS element 1222 being PMOS, the source terminal of which is connected to the power supply voltage VDD, the gate terminal of which is connected to the detection signal, and the drain terminal of which is grounded through the load element 1221.
When the detecting element 11 is not disturbed, the equivalent resistance of the detecting element 11 is infinite because the detecting element 11 is turned off, the circuit where the first resistive element 1211 and the detecting element 11 are located corresponds to an open circuit, and although only a very small leakage current is generated on the detecting element 11 at this time, the leakage current is not large enough to pull down the voltage of the intermediate node between the first resistive element 1211 and the detecting element 11, so that the detecting signal is substantially equal to VDD at this time. Since the detection signal is substantially equal to VDD, the difference between the detection signal and the source terminal of the second MOS element 1222 is smaller than the detection threshold VGS, the second MOS element 1222 will not be turned on either, the voltage of the connection node of the load element 1221 and the second MOS element 1222 is pulled to 0 potential, and the load element 1221 and the second MOS element 1222 form a series circuit to output a low-level signal OUT, indicating that the detection element 11 is not disturbed.
When the detection element 11 receives the interference signal, the leakage current generated in the detection element 11 increases instantaneously, the equivalent resistance of the detection element 11 decreases sharply, the voltage at the connection node between the first resistor element 1211 and the detection element 11 is pulled down rapidly, that is, the detection signal is pulled down, the difference between the detection signal and the source terminal of the second MOS element 1222 increases and exceeds the detection threshold VGS, at this time, the load element 1221 and the second MOS element 1222 form a series circuit to be turned on, the voltage at the connection node between the load element 1221 and the second MOS element 1222 is raised, and the output signal OUT is at a high level (interference flag signal), indicating that the detection element 11 is interfered.
In another example, the second MOS element 1222 may also be implemented as an NMOS with the other circuits shown in fig. 3 unchanged, with the interference flag signal set to a low level. When the detection element 11 is not disturbed, the detection signal is substantially equal to VDD, the second MOS element 1222 is turned on, and the voltage output of the connection node of the load element 1221 and the second MOS element 1222 is high, indicating that the detection element 11 is not disturbed; when the detection element 11 receives the interference signal, the leakage current generated on the detection element 11 increases instantaneously, the voltage of the connection node between the first resistor element 1211 and the detection element 11 is pulled down rapidly, that is, the detection signal is pulled down rapidly, the difference between the detection signal and the source terminal of the second MOS element 1222 is smaller than the detection threshold VGS, the second MOS element 1222 is turned off, the voltage of the connection node between the load element 1221 and the second MOS element 1222 is pulled to 0 potential, and at this time, a low-level interference flag signal is output on the load element 1221, which indicates that the detection element 11 is interfered. The power consumption in this way is higher and is generally not preferred.
In still another example, in the case where the other circuit shown in fig. 3 is unchanged, if the N terminal of the detecting element 11 is connected to the power supply voltage and the P terminal is connected to the common ground voltage through the first resistor element 1211, the first resistor element 1211 generates the detecting signal based on the leakage current flowing out of the detecting element 11. When the detection element 11 is disturbed, the generated detection signal of the first resistance element 1211 increases significantly. The second MOS element 1222 may be implemented by using an NMOS, the difference between the detection signal and the source terminal of the second MOS element 1222 is greater than VGS, the second MOS element 1222 is turned on, so that the series circuit is turned on, the voltage of the connection node between the load element 1221 and the second MOS element 1222 is raised, and a high-level interference flag signal is output, which indicates that the detection element 11 is interfered.
In yet another example, regarding the scheme of fig. 4, the first MOS device 1212 and the second MOS device 1222 are implemented as PMOS, and the first MOS device 1212 and the second MOS device 1222 form a common-gate current mirror structure. The source terminal of the first MOS element 1212 is connected to the power supply voltage VDD, the gate terminal and the drain terminal are connected to the N terminal of the detection element 11, and the P terminal of the detection element 11 is connected to the common ground voltage VSS.
When the detecting element 11 is not interfered, the equivalent resistance of the detecting element 11 is infinite, the circuits where the first MOS element 1212 and the detecting element 11 are located are equivalent to open circuits, at this time, the source terminal, the gate terminal and the drain terminal of the first MOS element 1212 are substantially the same in potential, that is, the detecting signal output from the gate terminal of the first MOS element 1212 is substantially equal to VDD, the second MOS element 1222 is not turned on, the voltage of the connection node between the load element 1221 and the second MOS element 1222 is pulled to 0 potential, at this time, the load element 1221 and the second MOS element 1222 form a series circuit to output a low level, which indicates that the detecting element 11 is not interfered.
When the detection element 11 receives the interference signal, the leakage current generated in the detection element 11 increases instantaneously, the equivalent resistance of the detection element 11 decreases sharply, the potential of the gate terminal and the drain terminal of the first MOS element 1212 is lowered, the first MOS element 1212 and the second MOS element 1222 are turned on, the second MOS element 1222 duplicates the current of the circuit in which the first MOS element 1212 and the detection element 11 are located, and the load element 1221 outputs a high-level interference flag signal based on the duplicated current, indicating that the detection element 11 is interfered.
In yet another example, unlike fig. 4, in the scheme shown in fig. 5, the gate terminal of the first MOS element 1212 may be connected to the external input voltage Vb, and the first MOS element 1212 is turned on slightly under the action of the input voltage Vb, but the equivalent resistance of the detection element 11 is infinite when the detection element 11 is not interfered, and at this time, the detection signal output by the drain terminal of the first MOS element 1212 is also substantially close to VDD, so that the second MOS element 1222 cannot be turned on; when the detection element 11 receives the interference signal, the drain terminal potential of the first MOS element 1212 is pulled down, so that the difference between the detection signal and the source terminal of the second MOS element 1222 is greater than VGS thereof, the second MOS element 1222 is turned on, and finally the voltage of the connection node between the load element 1221 and the second MOS element 1222 is raised, and a high-level interference flag signal is output, indicating that the detection element 11 is interfered.
In some possible implementations (not shown), the comparison module 122 includes a threshold voltage generation subunit and a comparator: the threshold voltage generation subunit is used for generating a detection threshold value; the comparator is used for comparing the detection signal with a detection threshold value to output an interference mark signal. Based on the description similar to the foregoing, when the detection element 11 is disturbed to cause an increase in leakage current, the detection signal also changes, and by comparing the detection signal with the detection threshold value, it can be effectively recognized whether the detection element 11 is disturbed, thereby outputting the disturbance flag signal when the detection element 11 is disturbed.
If the detection signal is greater than the detection threshold value, the detection element 11 is interfered, and the logic signal output by the comparator when the detection signal is greater than the detection threshold value is used as the interference mark signal; if the detection signal is smaller than the detection threshold value, which indicates that the detection element 11 is interfered, the logic signal output by the comparator is used as the interference flag signal when the detection signal is smaller than the detection threshold value.
Based on the foregoing, it can be seen that when the detection element 11 is affected by the interference signal, the high potential of the detection element 11 is pulled down, and the low potential is pulled down. Thus, in some other embodiments, the present invention may directly connect the interference determination subcircuit 12 with the high voltage or the low voltage connected to the detecting element 11, and determine whether the detecting element 11 is interfered by determining whether the high potential is significantly pulled down or whether the low potential is significantly pulled up, and outputting an interference flag signal when the high potential is significantly pulled down or the low potential is significantly pulled up. In a specific circuit, the interference judging sub-circuit 12 may include a comparing module 122; the detection element 11 is connected between the voltage a and the voltage B to be in an off state; the comparison module 122 determines whether the detection element 11 is disturbed based on the voltage a or the voltage B and the threshold voltage. The threshold voltage is set on the basis of the voltage a or the voltage B to be significantly different from the leakage caused by the non-interference signal.
In an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, the interference detection circuit 10 of the present invention may further include: a buffer sub-circuit 13; the buffer sub-circuit 13 is configured to enhance and output the interference flag signal output by the interference determination sub-circuit 12 when it is determined that the detection element 11 is interfered.
Based on the interference detection circuit 10 provided by the embodiment of the invention, the condition that the circuit is affected by the interference signal can be detected quickly, and in practical application, the interference detection circuit 10 can be combined with some target circuits which are easily affected by the interference signal in a chip, so that the target circuits do some processing based on the interference mark signal output by the interference detection circuit 10, and the influence of interference on the target circuits is reduced.
Based on the same inventive concept, the present invention also provides a battery protection chip 30, comprising: the interference detection circuit disclosed by the embodiment of the invention.
Existing integrated circuits have been threatened by ESD (electrostatic discharge), and thus some of the existing chip circuits are commonly provided with ESD modules 21 for electrostatic discharge protection. The ESD module 21 is connected between two high and low voltages to form a cut-off channel, so as to avoid the influence of static discharge on the normal operation of the chip circuit. However, when the ESD module 21 is interfered by radiation such as radio frequency or electromagnetic wave, the generated leakage current will become larger instantaneously, and the leakage current will cause the two high and low voltages connected to the ESD module 21 to be affected, such as the high voltage is pulled down and the low voltage is pulled up, thereby affecting the operation stability of the functional module based on the high voltage or the low voltage and the accuracy of the related detection result.
In view of this, as shown in fig. 6 and 7, in one specific application, the battery protection chip 30 further includes:
one or more ESD modules 21 for electrostatic discharge protection of the voltage of the overcurrent detection terminal;
the interference detection circuit 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention, wherein the interference detection circuit 10 includes a detection element 11 including a PN junction for receiving an interference signal, and an interference determination sub-circuit 12, the interference determination sub-circuit 12 determines whether the detection element 11 is interfered based on a leakage magnitude when the detection element 11 is turned off, and outputs an interference flag signal when it is determined that the detection element 11 is interfered, and the interference flag signal output by the interference detection circuit 10 is used for characterizing that the ESD module 21 is affected by the interference signal;
and a function module 22 related to the voltage of the overcurrent detection terminal, wherein the function module 22 stops working or switches working states when receiving the interference sign signal.
The high and low voltages of the circuit to which the detection element 11 is connected may be the same as or different from the ESD module 21. For example, one or more ESD modules 21 are connected between the power supply voltage VDD and an over-current detection terminal (represented by a VM terminal in the drawing) voltage, or between the over-current detection terminal voltage and a common ground terminal voltage; in the interference detection circuit 10, the sampling module 121 and the detection element 11 are connected in series and then can be connected between the power supply voltage VDD and the over-current detection terminal voltage, or between the over-current detection terminal voltage and the common ground terminal voltage, or between the power supply voltage VDD and the common ground terminal voltage VSS.
In fig. 6, the difference between fig. 6 and fig. 7 is that, after the interference determination subcircuit 12 is connected in series with the detection element 11, the interference determination subcircuit is connected between the power supply voltage VDD and the voltage of the overcurrent detection end (indicated by a VM terminal in the drawing), so that the detection element 11 can effectively and timely receive the interference signal, and further, the functional module 22 related to the voltage of the overcurrent detection end can stop working or switch working states more timely; in fig. 7, the disturbance determination sub-circuit 12 is connected in series with the detection element 11 and then connected between the power supply voltage VDD and the common ground voltage VSS, so as to reduce the influence of the leakage current on the over-current detection terminal voltage during the disturbance detection stage as much as possible.
In some possible implementations, the detection element 11 in the disturbance detection circuit 10 is identical in structure to the ESD module 21 (not shown). Because the detection element 11 and the ESD module 21 have the same structure, the receiving capability of the detection element 11 and the ESD module 21 for the interference signal can be infinitely close, so that when the detection element 11 receives the interference signal, the high probability ESD module 21 also receives the interference signal, and the interference flag signal output by the interference detection circuit 10 can more effectively represent that the ESD module 21 is affected by the interference signal.
In some possible implementations, the detection element 11 is smaller in size than the ESD module 21, which is advantageous for saving circuit area. Particularly, in the case where the detection element 11 in the interference detection circuit 10 has the same structure as the conventional ESD module 21, a larger chip area can be saved by adopting the detection element 11 of a smaller size. If both the ESD module 21 and the detection element 11 are implemented with GGNMOS, the detection element 11 may be implemented with GGNMOS having a smaller size.
The current battery protection chip 30 is generally provided with a charging overcurrent detection module, a discharging overcurrent detection module, a short circuit detection module and the like, and the charging overcurrent detection module, the discharging overcurrent detection module and the short circuit detection module all detect the voltage of the overcurrent detection end and then compare the detected voltage with the respective detection threshold values, so as to judge whether the battery is charged overcurrent, discharged overcurrent, short circuit and the like. The functional module 22 of the embodiment of the present invention may be at least one of a charge overcurrent detection module, a discharge overcurrent detection module, and a short circuit detection module.
In the battery protection chip 30, one or more ESD modules 21 may be connected between the over-current detection terminal and the common ground terminal, or may be connected between the power voltage VDD and the over-current detection terminal, and when the ESD module 21 is affected by an interference signal such as a radio frequency, the one or more ESD modules 21 generate a larger leakage current, and the leakage current flows to the over-current detection terminal to make its voltage become larger or flows to a lower potential to pull the voltage of the over-current detection terminal down. In this case, the voltages detected by the charge overcurrent detection module, the discharge overcurrent detection module and the short circuit detection module are inaccurate, and thus the accuracy of judging whether the battery is charged overcurrent, discharged overcurrent and short circuit respectively is affected. According to the embodiment of the invention, when the interference sign signal is output by the interference detection circuit 10, the ESD module 21 is characterized by the risk of being affected by the interference signal, and at least one of the electric overcurrent detection module, the discharge overcurrent detection module and the short circuit detection module related to the voltage of the overcurrent detection end stops working when receiving the interference sign signal, so that the influence of the interference signal on the respective functions of the ESD module can be effectively reduced.
Since the interference signal such as radio frequency is generally intermittent or understood to be periodic, the time of a single application to the ESD module 21 is short, and the trigger time of the short circuit detection is short, so that the influence of the interference signal on the short circuit detection module is the greatest, preferably, the functional module 22 is at least a short circuit detection module. And stopping working when the short circuit detection module receives the interference sign signal so as to avoid the short circuit of the erroneous judgment circuit. Meanwhile, because the duration of the interference signal is shorter, when the interference signal disappears, the interference detection circuit 10 will not output the interference sign signal or the output signal will turn over, so that the short circuit detection module will recover to the normal working state, and the short circuit detection function of the short circuit detection module will not be affected.
It should be noted that, in the present specification, each embodiment is described in a progressive manner, and each embodiment is mainly described as different from other embodiments, and identical and similar parts between the embodiments are all enough to be referred to each other.
The foregoing has outlined rather broadly the more detailed description of the invention in order that the detailed description of the invention that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. While various modifications of the embodiments and applications of the invention will occur to those skilled in the art, it is not necessary and not intended to be exhaustive of all embodiments, and obvious modifications or variations of the invention are within the scope of the invention.
