DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
(6) Since the operational amplifier (op amp) is affected in manufacture process variation, the package stress, the operating temperature change and other effects, the op amp in the practical operation will include some non-ideal characteristics, such as a voltage deviation, to reduce the operational precision of op amp. The voltage deviation in the present invention is referred to the amount of an abnormal offset voltage. In order to solve this abnormal offset voltage, the present invention discloses a wireless charger driving system implementing a signal generated by a logic control circuit of the offset voltage correction circuit fed back to the op amp so as to reset the abnormal offset voltage to zero. Therefore, the op amp can maintain at best performance and enhance accuracy of the current read by the wireless charger driving system. Since the basic principle and the function of the wireless charging system are well known by the person with ordinary skill in the art, only the features for the present invention are described in detail in the following description. In addition, the drawings for the following description are not made based on the actual size, and the features thereof are to express relevant in the present invention.
(7) Firstly, please refer to
(8) Next, the arithmetic processing unit 12 will be actuated by the power supply unit (V.sub.cc) in the present invention. The arithmetic processing unit 12 in the present embodiment includes an operational amplifier (op amp) 120, and the op amp 120 includes a positive input end A, a negative input end B and an output end C. The positive input end A receives a reference voltage signal (V.sub.ref) via a first resistor (R.sub.1) and is connected to one end of a sense resistor (R.sub.sense) via a second resistor (R.sub.2). The negative input end B is connected to the other end of the sense resistor (R.sub.sense) via a third resistor (R.sub.3). The output end C is connected to the negative input end B via a fourth resistor (R.sub.4). Accordingly, a feedback circuit is formed. In a hypothetical ideal situation, if the reference voltage signal (V.sub.ref) is connected to the ground (GND), the output voltage of the op amp 120 is zero. However, due to non-ideal factors occurred in the manufacturing process, the output voltage of the op amp 120 is not zero. There will be an unusual amount in the offset voltage (V.sub.os). Generally, when implementing the op amp 120, the amount of the offset voltage (V.sub.os) is one of the important parameters to be considered in the op amp 120. In other words, in order to acquire the amount of the offset voltage (V.sub.os) generated by the op amp 120, two input ends (A, B) of the op amp 120 are respectively connected to two ends of the sensing resistor (R.sub.sense) via the second resistor (R.sub.2) and the third resistor (R.sub.3) to detect the input offset voltage at two input ends of the op amp 120. The sense resistor (R.sub.sense) is disposed between the power supply unit (V.sub.cc) and the ground load 10. Obviously, a differential voltage signal (V.sub.in) is obtained by detecting the two ends of the sense resistor (R.sub.sense), and a first sensing voltage signal S1 and a second voltage sensing signal S2 are obtained in accordance with the differential voltage signal (V.sub.in). The first sensing voltage signal S1 is inputted to the negative input end B end of the op amp 120 via a third resistor (R.sub.3), and the second sensing voltage signal S2 is input to the positive input end A of the op amp 120 via the second resistor (R.sub.2). In addition, the op amp 120 further includes a switching module 121 and a conversion circuit 122. Therefore, the switching module 121 can calculate the first sensing voltage signal S1, the second sensing voltage S2 and the reference voltage signal (V.sub.ref) and output to the conversion circuit 122 so as to convert the voltage to be an output voltage signal (V.sub.out).
(9) According the aforementioned description of the arithmetic processing unit 12, it is obvious that, during the IC manufacturing process, if photolithography process is not controlled well, the input of the operational amplifier 120 would cause a mismatch to produce an offset voltage (V.sub.os) and the voltage is equal to the abnormal offset voltage (V.sub.os).
(10) Thus, by the sense resistor (R.sub.sense) detecting the abnormal offset voltage (V.sub.os) generated by the arithmetic processing unit 12, an offset voltage correction unit 14 is used to correct the abnormal offset voltage (V.sub.os). The offset voltage correction unit 14 in the present invention includes a power activating delay circuit 141, a comparator 142 and a logic control circuit 143. The negative input end of the comparator 142 is connected to a reference voltage signal (V.sub.ref), and the positive input end thereof is connected to the output voltage signal (V.sub.out) generated by the arithmetic processing unit 12 to form a feedback circuit for comparing the reference voltage signal (V.sub.ref) and the output voltage signal (V.sub.out) so as to determine that the offset voltage is a positive offset voltage (V.sub.os+) or a negative offset voltage (V.sub.os). Thereafter, the output end of the comparator 142 outputs a control signal (COS) to a logic control circuit 143. Moreover, the power activating delay circuit 141 is connected to a counter 1411. In the embodiment of the present invention, the counter 1411 can be disposed inside or outside the offset voltage correction unit 14. In a preferred embodiment, the counter 1411 is disposed inside the offset voltage correction unit 14 in the present invention. The power activating delay circuit 141 counts to a predetermined delay time in accordance with the internal counter 1411, and an activating signal (P.sub.on.sub._D) is generated to trigger the logic control circuit 143. Next, the control logic circuit 143 is activated until the operation of the control logic circuit 143 is completed, and the control logic circuit 143 will generate an enable signal (CE) according to the control signal (COS) of the comparator 142. When the enable signal (CE) is a low voltage level (L), the arithmetic processing unit 12 is triggered to perform a corrective action, and first set control switch signals (Con_TU1, Con_TU2, Con_TU3, Con_TU4, Con_TU5) generated by the logic control circuit 143 and second set control switch signals (Con_SW.sub.A, Con_SW.sub.B) fed back to the switching module 121 of the operational amplifier 120 of the arithmetic processing unit 12. The switching module 121 receives the first set control switch signals (Con_TU1, Con_TU2, Con_TU3, Con_TU4, Con_TU5) to turn on a plurality sets of current control switches, and a converting value corresponding to the current control switches is calculated to obtain a control current, and receives the second set control switch signals (Con_SW.sub.A, Con_SW.sub.B) to alternatively select a first current flow control switch (SW.sub.A) or a second current flow control switch (SW.sub.B) (not shown in

(12) In the present embodiment, the arithmetic processing unit 12 includes an operational amplifier (op amp) 120, and the op amp 120 includes a positive input end A, a negative input end B and an output end C. The positive input end A receives a reference voltage signal (V.sub.ref) via a first resistor (R.sub.1) and is connected to one end of a sense resistor (R.sub.sense) via a second resistor (R.sub.2). The negative input end B is connected to the other end of the sense resistor (R.sub.sense) via a third resistor (R.sub.3). The output end C is connected to the negative input end B via a fourth resistor (R.sub.4). Accordingly, a feedback circuit is formed. It should be noted that the resistant value of the second resistor (R.sub.2) is equal to the resistant value of the third resistor (R.sub.3) and the resistant value of the first resistor (R.sub.1) is equal to the resistant value of the fourth resistor (R.sub.4). Also, the resistant properties of the aforementioned resistors are the same.
