Abstract

The present disclosure provides a voltage conversion circuit and a voltage conversion chip. A problem that an overcurrent protection signal is falsely triggered can be solved by connecting a first diode in series between an output terminal and an input terminal of a voltage conversion module. The present disclosure provides the voltage conversion chip. A negative voltage capability of an output pin of the voltage conversion chip is increased by setting a comparator and a constant voltage source.

Claims (15)

1 . A voltage conversion circuit, comprising:

a power module, configured to output a first voltage signal;

a voltage conversion module, wherein an input terminal of the voltage conversion module is connected to the power module to receive the first voltage signal, and is configured to amplify and reduce the first voltage signal to output a second a voltage signal; and

a first diode, wherein a negative electrode of the first diode is connected to an output terminal of the voltage conversion module, and a positive electrode of the first diode is connected to the input terminal of the voltage conversion module;

wherein the voltage conversion module comprises:

a first switching tube, wherein a first terminal of the first switching tube is connected to the output terminal of the voltage conversion module;

an overcurrent protection unit, wherein the overcurrent protection unit is connected to a second terminal of the first switching tube, and the overcurrent protection unit is configured to trigger an overcurrent protection signal and send the overcurrent protection signal to the power module to make the power module stop outputting the first voltage signal; and

a second diode, wherein a negative electrode of the second diode is connected to the output terminal of the voltage conversion module and the first terminal of the first switching tube, and a positive electrode of the second diode is connected to an output terminal of the power module,

wherein the voltage conversion module further comprises:

a second switching tube, wherein a first terminal of the second switching tube is connected to the output terminal of the voltage conversion module, the first terminal of the first switching tube, and the negative electrode of the second diode; and

a storage unit, wherein the storage unit is connected to a second terminal of the second switching tube.

2 . The voltage conversion circuit as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first diode is a Schottky diode.

3 . The voltage conversion circuit as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first switching tube is a parasitic NPN tube.

4 . The voltage conversion circuit as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first voltage signal comprises a high voltage signal or a low voltage signal.
