Description

High-effiicent adaptive DC/AC converter
The application be the applying date be February 2 calendar year 2001 day, be called the dividing an application of No. 01102605.7 application for a patent for invention of " high-effiicent adaptive DC/AC converter ".
The present invention about direct current to exchanging power converter circuit.More particularly, the invention provides an efficient controller circuitry, this controller circuitry uses a zero voltage switching technology to adjust the power that is delivered to load.The present invention generally is used to drive the circuit of one or more cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFL), and still, those skilled in the art can learn that the present invention can be used for any load that needs high efficiency and the control of accurate power.

When saturated, the collector voltage fast rise of Q1 (to value) by base circuit determined, and the induced voltage in the transformer descends fast.Q1 further is pulled away from saturated, and V CERise, cause the voltage on the N1 further to descend.Loss in the base drive causes Q1 to end, its cause again subsequently that magnetic flux in the iron core descends slightly and in N4 induction one electric current with conducting Q2.Induced voltage among the N4 makes Q1 remain on the saturation conduction state, and is in the opposite direction saturated up to iron core, then produces a similar inverse process, switches circulation to finish.
Though inverter circuit 16 is made of quite few element, the nonlinear complex interactions of transistor and transformer is depended in its suitable work.In addition, C1, the variation of Q1 and Q2 (typically being 35% tolerance) makes circuit 16 not be suitable for the shunt transformer configuration, because arbitrary the duplicating of circuit 16 all can produce additional undesirable operating frequency, this frequency may be at some harmonic wave place resonance.When being applied to the CCFL load, this circuit can produce significantly undesirable " flapping " effect in CCFL.Even tolerance is almost mated, but because circuit 16 with self-resonance pattern work, so the effect of flapping can not be removed because arbitrary the duplicating in the circuit all will have itself distinctive operating frequency.

Generally speaking, the invention provides and use feedback signal and pulse signal, controllably with the circuit of power delivery, to adjust the ON time of two pairs of switches to load.Pair of switches is made that its ON time is overlapping by conducting controllably, with power along the defined guiding path of switch being delivered to load by a transformer by this.Similarly, when another makes that for conducting controllably its ON time is overlapping to switch, power along this another to the defined guiding path of switch, (by a transformer) is transported to load.Therefore, by overlapping between actuating switch and control switch selectively, the present invention can accurately control and be transported to a power of giving fixed load.In addition, the present invention comprises overcurrent and excess voltage protection, and it interrupts the power to load under short circuit or open-circuit condition.And control switch topological structure described herein makes circuit to have nothing to do in load, and uses one to have nothing to do in the one working frequency of the resonance effect of transformer configuration and work, and these characteristics are discussed following with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Circuit diagram shown in Figure 2 shows the preferred embodiment of phase shift of the present invention, full-bridge, zero voltage switching power converter.Basically, circuit shown in Figure 2 comprises a power supply 12, a plurality of switches 80, the definition alternate conduction switch path, that be arranged to the diagonal form is right, in order to the drive circuit 50 that drives each switch, one frescan 22, one transformer TX1 (having primary side and the defined relevant resonance groove of C1 circuit) and a load by TX1 to drive circuit 50 generations one square-wave pulse.The invention has the advantages that it also comprises an overlapping feedback control loop 40, each allows controllable power to be transported to load to the ON time of switch thus at least in its control.
Power supply 12 is applied to this system.During beginning, produce one bias voltage/reference signal 30 from this power supply and be used for control circuit (at control loop 40).Best, a frescan 22 produces one 50% duty cycle pulse signal, begins and with a set rate and the downward frequency sweep of predetermined process (i.e. the square-wave signal of a variable pulse width) with a upper frequency.Frescan 22 is preferably a programmable frequency generator as known in the art.(from frescan 22) pulse signal 90 is transported to B_ drive circuit (B_Drive) (its driving switch _ B (Switch-B), be the grid of control switch _ B), and being sent to A_ drive circuit (A_Drive), this drive circuit produces a complementary pulse signal 92 and a ramp signal 26.This complementation pulse signal 92 differs greatly with pulse signal 90 and is about 180 degree, and ramp signal 26 differs about 90 degree with pulse signal, and this will be as described below.Ramp signal is preferably serrated signal as shown in FIG..This ramp signal 26 is compared with the output signal (being called CMP here) of error amplifier 32 by comparator 28, produces signal 94 thus.The output signal 94 of comparator 28 is similarly one and is transported to the conducting of 50% task pulse of C_ drive circuit (C_Drive) with initialisation switch _ C (Switch_C), and switch C determine switch B and C subsequently, and, the lap between switch A and the D.Its complementary signal (differing about 180 degree) is applied to switch D via D_ drive circuit (D_Drive).Those skilled in the art can know that drive circuit _ A circuit to drive circuit _ D circuit is connected to the control line (for example grid) of switch _ A to switch _ D (Switch_D) respectively, and this is as the conducting controllably of each switch of permission described here.By being adjusted at the lap between switch B, C and A, D, finished the lamp current adjusting.In other words, be that the lap of the conducting state of said every pair of switch has determined the quantity of power handled in transducer.Therefore, switch B, C and switch A, D will be called as overlapping switch at this.
Though do not wish to be limited to by the example among this embodiment, the B_ drive circuit is preferably by totem-pote circuit, general Low ESR operation amplifier circuit, or emitter-base bandgap grading following device circuit forms.Set up the C_ drive circuit equally.Since A_ drive circuit and D_ drive circuit directly are not connected (being unsteady) with the ground end, so these drive circuits are preferably formed by boot-strap circuit (boot_strap circuit) or other high side (high-side) drive circuit as known in the art.In addition, as mentioned above, A_ drive circuit and D_ drive circuit comprise an inverter, to reverse respectively from the signal (being phase place) of B_ drive circuit and C_ drive circuit.
Finish efficient operation via a zero voltage switching technology.Four MOSFET (switch _ A to switch _ D) 80 after its essential diode (D1-D4) conducting and conducting, this is provided at the current flow path of the energy in transformer/capacitor (TX1/C1) configuration, when these switch conductions, the voltage on them is zero thus.With this controlled work, to make switch cost be minimum and kept high efficiency.
The preferable switch operating of this overlapping switch 80 is with reference to the sequential chart of 2a-2f figure.Switch _ C disconnects (Fig. 2 f) during some of switch B and the equal conducting of C.Behind cut-off switch _ C, the electric current (with reference to figure 2) that flows in the groove flows through the diode D4 (Fig. 2 e figure) among switch _ D, primary side, C1 and the switch _ B of transformer now, make voltage and current resonance in capacitor C 1 and transformer thus, the result (Fig. 2 f) of conveying capacity during as switch B and C conducting.This state must appear in attention, because the sudden change of the sense of current of transformer primary side will be violated Faraday's law.Therefore, when switch _ C disconnects, the electric current D4 that must flow through.During the D4 circulation, switch _ D is closed.Similarly, switch _ B disconnects that (Fig. 2 a), (Fig. 2 e) electric current goes to the diode D1 that is associated with switch _ A before switch _ A closure.Equally, switch _ D is disconnected (Fig. 2 d), and electric current is at present by switch _ A flow through C1, transformer primary side and diode D3.Switch _ C (Fig. 2 e) after the D3 conducting is closed.Switch B is closed after switch _ A disconnects, and this allows diode D2 at first to be switched on before switch _ B closure.That note is the switch B that is the diagonal angle, C and A, and the overlapping decision of the ON time of D is delivered to the energy of transformer, shown in Fig. 2 f.
In this embodiment, Fig. 2 b illustrates and only produce ramp signal 26 when switch _ A is closed.Therefore, the drive circuit _ A that produces ramp signal 26 preferably comprises certain current generator circuit (not shown), and it comprises the electric capacity with appropriate time constant, to produce ramp signal.For this purpose, utilize a reference current (not shown) to be this electric capacity charging, and this electric capacity is grounded (by a for example transistor switch), makes discharge rate exceed charge rate, thus, produce a sawtooth ramp signal 26.Certainly, as noted above, this can realize that therefore, ramp signal 26 can use an integrating circuit (for example operational amplifier and electric capacity) to form by integrated pulse signal 90.
In light-off period, be two that (promptly at switch A, D and B are between C) produces a predetermined minimum overlay between the switch at diagonal angle.This produces one by the least energy that inputs to the groove circuit that comprises C1, voltage device, C2, C3 and CCFL load.What note is that load can be ohmic and/or capacitive.Driving frequency starts from a predetermined upper frequency, and near the groove circuit and by the resonance frequency of the equivalent electric circuit that secondary side reflected of transformer, lot of energy is transported to the load that is connected with CCFL up to it.Because prefiring high impedance feature, CCFL is subjected to the high voltage from the energy that is applied to primary side.This voltage is enough to the CCFL that lights a fire.The CCFL impedance drop is low to moderate its normal working value (for example about 100K ohm is to 130K ohm), and the energy that work is supplied to primary side based on minimum overlay no longer is enough to keep the steady operation of CCFL.The output of error amplifier 26 begins its regulatory function, and is overlapping to increase this.The size decision lap of error amplifier output.For example:
With reference to the feedback control loop 40 of figure 2b, 2c and Fig. 2, be important to note that when ramp signal 26 (producing) by drive circuit _ A equal (by error amplifier 32 produces it) during the value of the definite signal CMP24 of comparator 28, switch _ C closure.Shown in the crosspoint among Fig. 2 b 36.In order to prevent short circuit, switch A, B, and C, D conducting simultaneously.By control CMP size, switch A, D, and B, C between overlapping time, regulate the energy that is transported to transformer.In order to regulate the energy (and regulating the energy that is delivered to the CCFL load thus) that is delivered to transformer, by the output CMP24 of departure amplifier, switch C and D are relevant to switch A and B does time shift.Be appreciated that if enter the driving pulse of switch C and D moves to right because of the level that increases CMP from the output of comparator 28 by sequential chart, will realize the overlapping increase between switch A, C and B, the D so, thereby, the energy that is delivered to transformer increased.In fact, this is corresponding to higher lamp current work (higher-lampcurrent operation).On the contrary, move to left (by reducing the CMP signal) of the driving pulse of switch C and D reduces the energy of being carried.
For this purpose, error amplifier 32 compares a feedback signal FB and a reference voltage REF.FB measures by detecting the current value of resistance R s, and its expression is via the total current of load 20.REF wants load state for indication, the signal of the electric current of the load of for example wanting to flow through.In operate as normal, REF=FB.Yet if load condition is intentionally compensated by the dimmer switch that is associated with LCD control board demonstration, the REF value can correspondingly increase/reduction.This value that is compared correspondingly produces CMP.CMP value reaction load situation and/or one is bias voltage intentionally, and is realized by the difference between REF and FB (being REF-FB).
Be not in open-circuit condition (for example in operate as normal time open circuit CCFL lamp state) in order to protect at the load of load-side and circuit; preferably also the FB signal is compared in current sense comparator 42 with a fiducial value (not shown and different with above-mentioned REF signal), it exports the state of definition switch 28 as described below.This fiducial value can be to programme, and/or is that the user is definable, and the minimum that preferably reflects system and allowed or maximum current (for example, can specifiedly be used for individual elements, especially for CCFL load).If the value of feedback FB signal and reference signal is (operate as normal) in allowed limits, then current sense comparator is output as 1 (or high).This allows the CMP switch 38 of flowing through, and circuit is worked saidly, with transmission power to load.Yet, if the value of FB signal and reference signal (open circuit or short-circuit condition) outside preset range, current sense comparator be output as 0 (or low), forbid that the CMP signal flow is through switch 38.(certainly, can realize inverse process, wherein switch triggers at 0 state).Up to current sense comparator indication can allow the to flow through electric current of Rs, just minimum voltage Vmin is provided and is applied to comparator 28 by switch 38 (not shown).Correspondingly, switch 38 comprises and is used for suitably selecting programmable voltage Vmin when detecting electric current and be 0.Refer again to Fig. 2 b, the effect of this work is that the CMP D. C. value is reduced to rated value, and minimum value (being CMP=Vmin) makes high-voltage state not occur on transformer TX1 in other words.Therefore, crosspoint 36 is by to moving to left, and reduced the lap between complementary switch (remember in the crosspoint 36, switch _ C conducting) thus.Similarly, when current sense comparator 42 is 0 when detected value (perhaps other the expression open-circuit condition preset value) time, be connected to frequency generator 22, to close generator 22.CMP is fed to protective circuit 62.If when CCFL is removed at work (open-circuit condition), this is to close frescan 22.
For protective circuit is not in overvoltage condition, present embodiment preferably comprises protective circuit 60, below provides its work (describing overcurrent protection by above-described current sense comparator 42).Circuit 60 comprises a protection comparator 62, and it is compared with one signal CMP by the voltage signal 66 of load 20 derivation.Preferably voltage signal is derived by as shown in Figure 2 dividing potential drop capacitor C 2 and C3 (in parallel with load 20).Under open lamp state (open-lampcondition), frescan continues frequency sweep, arrives a threshold value up to OVP signal 66.OVP signal 66 is taken from the dividing potential drop capacitor C 2 and the C3 of output, to detect the voltage of transformer TX1 output.For simplifying the analysis, these electric capacity are also represented the total capacitance of equivalent load capacitance.Threshold value be a fiducial value and circuit be designed such that Circuit Fault on Secondary Transformer voltage greater than minimum ignition voltage (for example by the needed voltage of LCD control board), and less than the rated voltage of transformer.When OVP exceeded threshold value, frescan stopped frequency sweep.Simultaneously, current detecting 42 detects less than signal on detection resistance R s.Therefore, the signal at output 24 places of switch block 38 is set at minimum value, makes switch A, C and B, and overlapping between D is minimum.Best, in case when OVP exceeded threshold value, the device 64 that promptly picks up counting opened beginning one timing (time-out) sequence regularly thus.The cycle of this timing ga(u)ge time series is preferably designed according to load request (for example CCFL of LCD control board), but also can be set to programmable value.In case timing time finishes, driving pulse is disabled, and thus, provides the trouble free service output of converter circuit.That is, circuit 60 provides a sufficient voltage so that this lamp igniting, then will be closed the feasible high pressure that can avoid in the mistake of output place if this lamp is not connected to transducer after the certain hour section.Must be arranged, because non-igniting lamp ﹠ lantern is similar to the open lamp state such time period.
Fig. 3 and 3a-3f depict another preferred embodiment of AC/DC circuit of the present invention.In this embodiment, circuit is worked in the mode that is similar to Fig. 2 and 2a-2f and is provided, yet this embodiment also comprises a phase-locked loop circuit (PLL) 70, in order to control frescan 22, and a flip-flop circuit 62, regularly to import the signal of C_ drive circuit.Be appreciated that by sequential chart if the driving pulse of switch C and D moves to right 50%, just can realize increase overlapping between switch A, C and B, D, thus, has increased the energy that is delivered to transformer by increasing the size of CMP.In fact, this is corresponding to higher lamp current work (may as the manual increase of above-mentioned required for example REF voltage).On the contrary, the driving pulse of switch C and D is moved to left (by reducing the CMP signal) then reduced the energy that is transferred.Phase-locked loop circuit 70 keeps the phase relation between feedback current (through Rs) and cell current (through TX1/C1) under operate as normal, as shown in Figure 3.PLL circuit 70 preferably comprises an input signal 98 and a Rs (above-mentioned FB signal) from groove circuit (C1 and TX1 primary side).In case CCFL is lighted a fire, just, activate the PLL70 circuit, the phase place between the electric current in this a circuit locking lamp current and the resonant slots (C1 and transformer primary side) via the electric current among the Rs detection CCFL.Promptly, provide PLL to be used for changing the frequency of adjusting frescan 22 because of the parasitism that resembles temperature action, mechanical arrangements, said mechanical arrangements is the wiring between transducer and LCD control board for example, and the distance between lamp and LCD control board metal frame, these configuration affects capacitance and inductance value.It is 180 degree that this system preferably remains on differing between the electric current of resonant slots circuit and the Rs that flows through (load current).Therefore, no matter the specific load state and/or the operating frequency of resonant slots circuit, this system can find a best operating point.
The operation class of the feedback loop of Fig. 3 is similar to above explanation to Fig. 2.Yet shown in Fig. 3 b, this embodiment is by the output of trigger 72 and C_ drive circuit timing initial signal.For example, when operate as normal, the output of error amplifier 32 is fed through control switch piece 38 (as mentioned above), and the result is a signal 24.Obtain certain lap between switch A, C and B, D by comparator 28 and trigger 72, this trigger 72 driving switch C and D (remembeing that the D_ drive circuit produces the complementary signal of C_ drive circuit).This is that CCFL (control board) load provides steady operation.CCFL (control board) is removed in consideration when operate as normal, CMP is raised to the boundary value (rail of output) and the trigger protection circuit immediately of the output of error amplifier.This function is under an embargo when igniting.
General reference Fig. 3 a-3f in this embodiment, replaces trigger switch C and the D working result as flip-flop circuit 72 via C_ drive circuit and D_ drive circuit.Shown in Fig. 3 b, trigger is every once triggering, thus initialization C_ drive circuit (and, correspondingly, be the D_ drive circuit).Timing then as described above with reference to figure 2a-2f, is worked in the same manner.
