Embodiment
Please refer to Fig. 2, this figure is depicted as the first embodiment schematic diagram of the device that prevents surging.This prevents that the device of surging from comprising amplifier 10 and voltage slope generator 20.
Amplifier 10 has normal phase input end 12, inverting input 14, output 16 and power control terminal 18.Normal phase input end 12 couples reference voltage, and output 14 outputs one output voltage produce feedback voltage according to output voltage, and this feedback voltage is coupled to inverting input 14.Wherein, reference voltage can be energy gap voltage (bandgap voltage).
Voltage slope generator 20 couples the power control terminal 18 of amplifier 10, produces slow up voltage, and alleged herein slow up voltage is a slope voltage (ramp voltage), and the magnitude of voltage of slow up voltage can rise to supply voltage (Vdd) by no-voltage.
In this, the output voltage that amplifier 10 is exported can change along with slow up voltage that voltage slope generator 20 produced, and its variation relation is: when the magnitude of voltage of slow up voltage during less than threshold value, output voltage can be followed slow up voltage and be risen; And the magnitude of voltage of working as slow up voltage is not less than threshold value, and when just the magnitude of voltage of slow up voltage was more than or equal to threshold value, output voltage was not just followed slow up voltage and risen, and presents stable voltage.
Below will be applied in exchange pressurizer (switching regulator) with the device that prevents surging is that example explains.Please refer to Fig. 3 is the second embodiment schematic diagram that prevents the device of surging.Among second embodiment, amplifier 10 is error amplifier (error amplifier).Among Fig. 3, the output voltage that the output 16 of amplifier 10 is exported can provide the exchange pressurizer to do follow-up application.
The explanation that continues, feedback voltage produces for the foundation output voltage, and the magnitude of voltage of two voltages may not be identical, but that the variation of two magnitudes of voltage has is associated.Because slow up voltage initial start stage (magnitude of voltage of slow up voltage less than threshold value time), output voltage can be followed slow up voltage and be risen, so feedback voltage is also followed slow up voltage and risen.The magnitude of voltage of feedback voltage is followed slow up voltage and is risen gradually, and then level off to the magnitude of voltage of reference voltage, and when the magnitude of voltage of feedback voltage rises to the magnitude of voltage that equals reference voltage, promptly arrive threshold value, rise and make output voltage no longer follow slow up voltage, and present a stable voltage.Therefore, above-mentioned threshold value is a feedback voltage when equaling reference voltage, the magnitude of voltage of slow up voltage.
Present embodiment produces slow up voltage by voltage slope generator 20, and will delay the power control terminal 18 that up voltage offers amplifier 10.In this, the reference voltage that the normal phase input end 12 of amplifier 10 is imported just must slowly not rise, and can import the initial stage at reference voltage and promptly rise to fixed voltage value, just the energy gap magnitude of voltage.
Wherein, the power control terminal 18 of amplifier 10 is positioned at the output stage (outputstage) of amplifier 10.That is to say that the present invention adjusts the output voltage of amplifier 10, to reach the function that prevents surging by the power supply (power) of the output stage of control amplifier 10.The practice of the present invention can be after soft start mechanism finishes, when just slow up voltage arrives threshold value; the smooth-going output voltage that allows is kept stable voltage; and be converted to normal mechanism, and in the process of soft start mechanism transformation, do not have the surging generation for normal mechanism, reach more level and smooth conversion.
Please refer to Fig. 4 is the voltage waveform view that prevents the device of surging.Slow as seen from Figure 4 up voltage is slowly risen by no-voltage, and at slow up voltage during less than threshold value, output voltage also rises along with slow up voltage.By can finding out among the figure, rise the initial stage at slow up voltage, output voltage does not almost rise and maintains zero voltage value, and that is (can with reference to Fig. 3) not conducting as yet because the MOS switch in the amplifier 10, so not reaction of output voltage.And rise to the conducting voltage (conduction value as shown in FIG.) of MOS switch when slow up voltage, and when making the MOS switch enter the saturation region, the output voltage of amplifier 10 just can rise followed by slow up voltage.
Can find that by Fig. 4 when slow up voltage rose to threshold value, output voltage was promptly no longer followed slow up voltage and risen, and presents stable voltage.At this moment, prevent that the device of surging just is converted to normal mechanism, and export final stable voltage.In addition, as shown in Figure 4, the magnitude of voltage perseverance of output voltage is less than the magnitude of voltage of slow up voltage.Therefore, can come the output voltage of limiting amplifier 10 by the power supply (slow up voltage) of the output stage of the amplifier 10 of control.
Please refer to Fig. 5, this figure is depicted as and prevents that the surging device is applied to the embodiment under the normal operating state.Under normal operating state,, therefore utilized slow up voltage to limit the upper limit of output voltage because output voltage is neither greater than slow up voltage.If with the exchange pressurizer is example, can so can avoids because of externalities makes output voltage rise suddenly by delaying the maximum rating (duty) that up voltage decide the exchange pressurizer, and may and then produce burst current (above electric current I LNormal range (NR)) so that damage integrated circuit itself.Therefore, present embodiment prevent the surging device except using soft start, also can be under normal operating state as the restricting circuits of maximum rating, to avoid the generation of burst current.
Please refer to Fig. 6, this figure is depicted as the flow chart of the method that prevents surging, comprises the following step.
Step S10: provide amplifier, and this amplifier has normal phase input end, inverting input, output and power control terminal.In this, amplifier can be error amplifier (error amplifier).
Step S20: input reference voltage is to normal phase input end.Wherein, reference voltage can be energy gap voltage (bandgap voltage).
Step S30: export an output voltage by output.
Step S40: produce feedback voltage and be sent to inverting input according to output voltage.
Step S50: the slow up voltage of input is to the power control terminal of amplifier.Wherein, the magnitude of voltage of slow up voltage can rise to supply voltage (Vdd) by no-voltage.And power control terminal is positioned at the output stage (output stage) of amplifier.
Step S60: the magnitude of voltage of the slow up voltage of foundation rises, and this moment, output voltage and feedback voltage were followed slow up voltage rising.
Step S70: when feedback voltage rises to when equaling reference voltage, output voltage presents stable voltage.In this, the magnitude of voltage perseverance of output voltage is less than the magnitude of voltage of slow up voltage.
Though technology contents of the present invention discloses as above with preferred embodiment; right its is not in order to limit the present invention; any those skilled in the art; do not breaking away from spirit of the present invention a little change and the retouching done; all should be covered by in the category of the present invention, so protection scope of the present invention is as the criterion when looking the accompanying Claim person of defining.
