Please refer to Fig. 4, be signal timing diagram embodiment illustrated in fig. 3.When feedback signal FB rises to reference voltage V1 +The time, detection signal DET transfers low level to, and the state of this representative output energy-storage units C2 is in one first state of releasing energy.At this moment, control signal Con_1 is a high level and control signal Con_2 is a low level, and diverter switch SW1, SW2 conducting are to form first guiding path, and input power vd D transmits electric power and stores to importing energy-storage units C1; Diverter switch SW3, SW4 end to interrupt second guiding path, and output energy-storage units C2 releases can be to load.When releasing gradually, output energy-storage units C2 can make feedback signal FB drop to reference voltage V1 -The time, detection signal DET transfers high level to, and the state of this representative output energy-storage units C2 is in one second state of energy storage, and at this moment, clock signal clk is a low level.At known circuit, when if detection signal DET transfers high level to, clock signal clk is a low level, then must wait when clock signal clk becomes high level, diverter switch SW3, SW4 just are able to conducting makes output energy-storage units C2 begin energy storage to form second guiding path, in other words, when detection signal DET is high level, and clock signal clk is a low level, because diverter switch SW1, SW2 conducting, and diverter switch SW3, SW4 end, so output voltage VO UT can continue to descend, and produce bigger ripple value.In the present invention, when feedback signal FB drops to reference voltage V1 -The time, control unit 104 produces the control signal Con_2 one time length Δ t of low level control signal Con_1 and high level immediately.Wherein, time span Δ t be a default regular time length Δ t, according to the duty ratio that the cycle determined of clock signal clk or according to the time length that phase place determined of clock signal clk.At this moment, diverter switch SW3, SW4 conducting make output energy-storage units C2 begin energy storage to rise to reference voltage V1 until feedback signal FB to form second guiding path +Till.When feedback signal FB rises to reference voltage V1 once again +Till, the state of output energy-storage units is got back to first state of releasing energy, so goes round and begins again, and makes feedback signal FB maintain reference voltage V1 -To reference voltage V1 +The interval.And when the state of output energy-storage units is first state, control signal Con_1 can be as the prior art, continue to switch and make input energy-storage units C1 keep energy storage on a predetermined energy storage, preferred methods is as the present embodiment, control signal Con_1 maintains high level, makes diverter switch SW1, SW2 continue conducting and reduces the switch cost of switch.
Please refer to Fig. 5, be the DC-to-DC switching circuit schematic diagram of another preferred embodiment of the present invention.In the present embodiment, oscillator 106 produces clock signal clk 1, CLK2 inverting each other, and control unit 104 has comprised signal selected cell 110 and non-overlapped signal generation unit 108, select one of clock signal clk 1, CLK2 to be output as reference clock signal CLK by signal selected cell 110 according to detection signal DET, non-overlapped signal generation unit 108 reception reference clock signal CLK and detection signal DET are to produce control signal Con_1, Con_2.Signal selected cell 110 comprises a multiplexer 112, D type keeper (Latch) circuit 114, and the trigger end CK of D type keeper circuit 114 receives detection signal DET, and sets end D receive clock signal CLK2.When detection signal DET transferred high level to, if this moment, clock signal clk 2 was a low level, then output Q output low level signal made multiplexer 112 select clock signal clk 1 output; If clock signal clk 2 is a high level, then output Q output high level signal makes multiplexer 112 select clock signal clk 2 outputs.Non-overlapped signal generation unit 108 comprises a NAND gate and a non-overlapped unit 108a, NAND gate exports non-overlapped unit 108a to after receiving reference clock signal CLK and detection signal DET union, non-overlapped unit 108a is according to the output signal of NAND gate, producing non-overlapped control signal Con_1, Con_2, damage circuit to avoid diverter switch SW1, SW2, SW3, SW4 conducting simultaneously.
Please refer to Fig. 6, be signal timing diagram embodiment illustrated in fig. 5.Before time point t1, the state of output energy-storage units C2 is in first state of releasing energy, this moment, signal selected cell 110 selection clock signal clks 1 were reference clock signal CLK output (represent selecteed signal with solid line among the figure, dotted line is represented non-selected signal).In time point t1, feedback signal FB drops to reference voltage V1 -, detection signal DET transfers high level to makes signal selected cell 110 carry out the signal selection.Clock signal clk 2 is in high level because clock signal clk 1 is in low level, and therefore, signal selected cell 110 selects clock signal clk 2 to be reference clock signal CLK output.Therefore, non-overlapped signal generation unit 108 is the control signal Con_1 of output low level and the control signal Con_2 of high level immediately, and output energy-storage units C2 enters second state of energy storage.When feedback signal FB rises to reference voltage V1 once again +, the state of output energy-storage units C2 is got back to first state of releasing energy, and to time point t2, feedback signal FB reduces to reference voltage V1 -, the state of output energy-storage units C2 is got back to second state of energy storage, so goes round and begins again.
Please refer to Fig. 7, be the DC-to-DC switching circuit schematic diagram of the 3rd preferred embodiment of the present invention.Compared to Fig. 5, signal selected cell more than 110 has comprised a delay circuit 116, is coupled between oscillator 106 and the D type keeper circuit 114.Delay circuit 116 postpones a time of delay with clock signal clk 1 and is output into clock delay signal DIN behind the delay.D type keeper circuit 114 is exported a judgement signal QOUT according to clock delay signal DIN and detection signal DET, makes multiplexer 112 select clock signal CLK1 or CLK2 in view of the above.Increase delay circuit 116 in the present embodiment and be for fear of as Fig. 6 in time point t2, selected clock signal clk 1, control signal Con_2 but only is maintained at high level utmost point blink, transfers low level subsequently to and makes feedback signal FB down be lower than reference voltage V1 once again -In the present embodiment, utilize the phase place of clock delay signal DIN judgement clock signal clk 1, CLK2, though to judge whether it is in high level and so is about to transfer to low level, if then avoiding selecting it is reference clock signal CLK output.Therefore, when delay can avoid exporting energy-storage units C2 and entered second state of energy storage time of delay, control signal Con_2 is owing to the problem that causes output energy-storage units C2 energy storage deficiency for the first time for the deficiency of time of high level, its setting can be set according to the difference of various application (difference of load, output energy-storage units C2 charging speed etc.), can or set the time span of a fixed duty cycle according to clock signal clk 1 for a set time length.
Please refer to Fig. 8, be signal timing diagram embodiment illustrated in fig. 7.In time point t1, detection signal DET transfers high level to.At this moment, on behalf of clock signal clk 2, clock signal clk 2 soon transfer low level to by high level for high level but clock delay signal DIN is a low level, is that reference clock signal CLK exports so still select clock signal clk 1.In time point t2, reference clock signal CLK transfers high level to, and control signal Con_2 also transfers high level to makes input energy-storage units C1 begin the energy storage to output energy-storage units C2.In time point t3, detection signal DET transfers high level once again to.At this moment, clock signal clk 1 is that high level but clock delay signal DIN also are high level, and on behalf of clock signal clk 1, this soon transfer low level to by high level, so signal selected cell 110 selection clock signal clks 2 are that reference clock signal CLK exports.In time point t4, reference clock signal CLK transfers high level to, and control signal Con_2 also transfers high level to makes input energy-storage units C1 begin the energy storage to output energy-storage units C2.So, though between time point t1-t2 and time point t3-t4, though feedback signal is lower than reference voltage V1 -Yet its time is of short duration compared to prior art, and the pulsation of lower output voltage is still arranged, and can avoid exporting energy-storage units C2 and enter second state of energy storage the time the first time energy storage time deficiency problem.
Certainly, oscillator 106 of the present invention also can produce plural clock signal, and the identical and phase place difference of the frequency of each clock signal.Multiplexer in the control unit 104 receives those clock signals, and select suitable clock signal to export as reference clock signal according to the phase place and the detection signal DET of those clock signals, when entering second state to avoid exporting energy-storage units C2, the problem of the deficiency of energy storage for the first time.At this embodiment only in order to explanation the present invention, but not in order to restriction patent right scope that the present invention advocated.
Please refer to Fig. 9, be the DC-to-DC switching circuit schematic diagram of the 4th preferred embodiment of the present invention.In the present embodiment, signal selected cell 110 has comprised a non-overlapped signal generation unit 118 and circuits for triggering 120.Circuits for triggering 120 transfer high level in detection signal DET, when representative output energy-storage units C2 enters second state, produce a pulse signal CMP immediately, make control unit 104 produce control signal Con_2 one scheduled time length or a predetermined duty cycle of a high level immediately, make output energy-storage units C2 energy storage immediately.Circuits for triggering 120 can be monostable circuit (One Shot Circuit), comprise a delay circuit 116, a reverser and one and door, the time delay of delay circuit 116 is set and be can be a preset time length, or the predetermined duty cycle of setting according to clock signal clk.Please refer to Figure 10, be signal timing diagram embodiment illustrated in fig. 9.In time point t1, feedback signal FB reduces to reference voltage V1 -, this moment, detection signal DET transferred high level to, and control unit 104 is the control signal Con_2 of export scheduled time length or predetermined duty cycle Δ t immediately, makes feedback signal FB go up to be higher than reference voltage V1 -According to generation time point and the concluding time point of clock signal clk decision control signal Con_1, Con_2, feedback signal FB is risen to reference voltage V1 subsequently +Till.In the present embodiment, if load makes time span Δ t fail to provide enough energy storage for heavy duty, then work as feedback signal FB and reduce to reference voltage V1 once again -The time, circuits for triggering 120 still can be triggered, and make feedback signal FB be maintained at reference voltage V1 always -On.
Therefore, when DC-to-DC switching circuit of the present invention detects output voltage and is lower than a predetermined value, can be immediately or in an acceptable time length, electric power is sent to output, and energy storage is gone up output voltage to the output energy-storage units.Therefore compared to the existing charge pump control circuit, can reduce mains ripple.
