It is supposed to work.
- the power energy (AC power) ) Supply shall be started.
- the AC power supplied via the coil 20 is a positive-phase component, and the potential Va at the point a in the rectifier circuit 30 in FIG. 1 is gradually increased.
- the input voltage Vin is given as a potential difference [Va-Vb] between the potential Va at the point a and the potential Vb at the point b.
- the n-MOS transistor Q4 When the potential difference [Va-Vb] between the points a and b exceeds the operation threshold Vthn, the n-MOS transistor Q4 is turned on. On the other hand, when the potential at the point g in the initial stage is higher than the potential at the point b [Vb> Vg], the g-side of the n-MOS transistor Q4 having a lower potential functions as a source. Before the potential difference [Va-Vb] between the points a and b reaches the operation threshold Vthn, the potential difference [Va-Vg] between the points a and g exceeds the operation threshold Vthn. S transistor Q 4 conducts (ON).
- n-MOS transistor Q4 conducts (turns on) with the rise in the potential at point a, As a result, the potential Vb at the point b and the potential Vg at the point g become substantially equal.
- the potential Va at the point a is applied to the source of the P-MOS transistor Q1 immediately before or after the conduction (on) timing of the n_MOS transistor Q4.
- the gate of the P-MOS transistor Q1 is initially kept at zero (0) potential, and the drain connected to point c on the output side is also kept at zero (0) potential. Therefore, the p-MOS transistor Q1 is turned on when the potential Va exceeds the operation threshold Vthp.
- the P-MOS transistor Q1 and the n-MOS transistor Q4 which are the opposite sides of the ridge circuit in the rectifier circuit 30, are conductive (on) with respect to the positive phase component of the AC power supplied through the coil 20. ).
- the P-MOS transistor Q 2 and the n-MOS transistor Q 3, which are the other side of the bridge circuit in the rectifier circuit 30, are applied with voltages of opposite polarities between the gate and the source. These p-MOS transistor Q2 and n-MOS transistor Q3 are kept off.

- the P-MOS transistor Q1 of the rectifier circuit 30 becomes conductive as described above. It is in a state just after being turned on, and the capacitor 31 is almost not charged. Therefore, only the voltage at point c generated at the source of the P-MOS transistor Q1 is applied to the drain of the second P-MOS transistor Q12 as its output voltage Vout. Since the current output from the point c is also used for charging the capacitor 31, the output voltage Vout is applied to the source of the P-MOS transistor Q1 at the start of the supply of the AC power (at the initial stage). It is lower than the input voltage Vin, that is, the potential Va at the point a. Therefore, the second p_MOS transistor Q12 rarely conducts simultaneously with the above-described first p-MOS transistor Q11.
- the voltage Vc (output voltage Vout) at the point c applied to the source of the second P-MOS transistor Q12 is changed to the voltage at the point a applied to the source of the first p-MOS transistor Q11. Since the voltage is lower than the voltage Va (input voltage Vin) and the current flowing through the second p-MOS transistor Q12 is regulated by the above-described current mirror circuit, it is necessary to have a sufficiently large on-resistance R12. And As a result, the potential Vd at the point d, which is the source of the second P-MOS transistor Q12, is maintained at a value close to the potential Vb at the point b, and is kept low.

- the potential Vd at point d which is the common connection point on the side, decreases.
- the potential Vd at the point d is set to be substantially equal to the potential Vb at the point b. Can be.
- the control voltage Vcont applied to the gate of the P-MOS transistor Q1 of the rectifier circuit 30 is kept sufficiently lower than the input voltage Vin applied to its source to keep the P-MOS transistor Q1 on. Becomes possible. Note that the capacitor 31 is charged by the output of the rectifier circuit 30, and the input voltage Vin starts to decrease beyond its maximum amplitude and falls below the output voltage Vout defined by the charge charged in the capacitor 31.
- the on-resistances R11 and R12 of the first and second P-MOS transistors Q11 and Q12 have a magnitude relationship of [R11> R12], and the first p-MOS transistor Q11
- the potential Vd at point d which is the common connection point on the second P-MOS transistor Q12 side, is higher than the potential Ve at point e, which is the common connection point on the side.
- the potential Vd at the point d on the source side of the second P-MOS transistor Q12 becomes substantially equal to the potential Vc (> Va) at the point c.
- the control circuit 50 described above operates on the p-MOS transistor Q3 of the rectifier circuit 30 in the same manner as the control circuit 40 with respect to the negative phase component of the AC power. Accordingly, the discharge of the charge charged in the capacitor 31 through the p-MOS transistor Q2 is similarly prevented.
- control circuit 40 The operation of the control circuit 40 described above is under ideal conditions in which the potential of each part of the power supply is set to 0 V as described above, but is actually caused by static electricity or the like. In some cases, the reference potential of the control circuit 40 has some potential, and the source potential Vd of the second pMOS transistor Q12 is displaced.
- the operation of the control circuit 40 in such an initial state is verified, for example, as shown in FIG. 3, when the potential Vd at the point d has a positive potential, the P-MOS transistor of the rectifier circuit 30 A control voltage V cont having a positive value is applied to the gate of Q1 in advance.
- Vd is set to a predetermined potential (for example, 0v).
- control circuit 40 controls the control voltage Vcont applied to the gate of the p-MOS transistor Q1 of the rectifier circuit 30 , so that the P-MOS transistor Q1 is turned on at this point. Then, with the conduction of the p-MOS transistor Q1, the drain (c From this point, the output voltage Vout is applied to the control circuit 40, so that the second P-MOS transistor Q12 operates in response to the output voltage Vout, and the control circuit 40 operates.
- the control circuit 40 when the power supply device is started in a state where a positive potential due to static electricity or the like is applied to the control circuit 40, the control signal Vcont output from the output terminal 44 is temporarily output during the initial operation of the control circuit 40. Since the voltage is returned to 0v, the p-MOS transistor Q1 in the rectifier circuit 30 can be reliably turned on. On the other hand, when the control circuit 40 is charged with a negative potential in the initial state, the control circuit 40 applies the gate of the p-MOS transistor Q 1 of the rectifier circuit 30 to the thin line V d in FIG. A negative potential as shown by is applied in advance as the control voltage V cont.
- the potential at the point d gradually increases from the time when the P-MOS transistor Q1 is turned on, and the voltage Vc (output voltage Vout) at the point c also increases from the time when the P-MOS transistor Q1 is turned on as shown by a broken line in FIG. >.
- the transistors Q1 and Q4 After the transistors Q1 and Q4 are turned on, they operate in the same manner as the operation under the ideal conditions described above. Therefore, even when the control circuit 40 is charged with a negative potential due to static electricity or the like, the control circuit 40 can be reliably operated as described above, and the rectifier circuit 30 can be started stably. It is possible to do.
- the p_MOS transistor Q1 According to the power supply device including the control circuit 40 (50) for controlling the voltage applied to the gate of Q2, the internal power supply smoothed via the capacitor 31 is supplied at the start of the supply of AC power.
- the control circuit 40 (50) can be reliably operated even at the initial time when no signal is generated, and its full-wave rectified output can be obtained via the rectifier circuit 30. Then, the capacitor 31 is gradually charged by the full-wave rectified output of the rectifier circuit 30, and the smoothed DC voltage can be stably generated through the capacitor 31.
- the input voltage Vin provided as an AC voltage is lower than the output voltage Vout smoothed by the capacitor 31, and the voltage relationship applied to the source region and the drain region of the p_MOS transistor Q 1 (Q 3) Even if the function is reversed and the function is switched, the p-MOS transistor Q1 (Q3) is forcibly cut off (turned off), so that the p-MOS transistor Q1 (Q3) acts as a discharge path for the capacitor 31. None do. Therefore, the power energy supplied via the coil 20 can be efficiently rectified, and the internal power supply can be generated stably.
- the control circuit 40 (50) for controlling the operation of the rectifier circuit 30 includes the input voltage Vin obtained from the coil 20 as described above. And the output voltage Vout, which is the DC output of the rectifier circuit 30 and is smoothed by the capacitor 31, operates as a driving power source, and has the magnitude of the input voltage Vin and the output voltage Vout. It is realized as a four-terminal voltage comparison circuit that inverts in response. Therefore, even in a state where no electric charge is stored in the capacitor 31, that is, even when the supply of the power energy (AC power) is started, the control circuit 40 (50) is reliably operated to start the operation of the power supply device. This has the advantage that the circuit configuration is relatively simple.
- the present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above.
- the control circuit 40 (50) is used to control the gate voltages of the P-MOS transistors Q1 and Q3 on the positive side, but the n_M ⁇ S transistor on the negative side is controlled.
- the same configuration can be applied to the case where the gates of Q 2 and Q 4 are controlled.
- all of the MOS transistors constituting the rectifier circuit 30 can be constituted by p-M ⁇ S transistors or n-MOS transistors. It also has the disadvantage that its rectification efficiency is reduced by half, but it goes without saying that it can be similarly applied to the case where a half-wave rectifier circuit is used instead of a full-wave rectifier circuit.
- a power supply device that rectifies AC power through a rectifying circuit using a MOS transistor as a rectifying element and smoothes the rectified output through a capacitor, the AC input voltage And a DC output voltage as its driving source, and a control circuit for comparing the AC input voltage and the DC output voltage to gate-control the MOS transistor of the rectifier circuit, that is, a four-terminal voltage comparison circuit. Therefore, reverse discharge from the capacitor via the rectifier circuit is reliably prevented, and the internal power supply can be obtained stably.
- the structure is simple, and excellent effects such as being suitable for being incorporated into a coupled spherical semiconductor that supplies electric power by electromagnetic induction coupling through a coil are obtained.
