In this; Please look back the described content of this case prior art earlier; Traditionally; The pulse width modulation controlled chip probably can be when the alternating voltage that power supply change-over device received not stablize as yet (for example under-voltage, the peak value that can be regarded as the rectified signal that is associated with the alternating voltage that is received does not reach the required minimum voltage of system of electronic installation as yet) just provide pulse-width signal with the power switch in switching (be conducting or the close) power supply change-over device.Thus, under the condition of power invariability, the damage that probably can cause the inner member of power supply change-over device and/or electronic installation to recover.
In view of this; Present embodiment utilizes under-voltage protection unit 111 to solve the problem that this case prior art is addressed especially; And it is (under-voltage when its alternating voltage AC_IN that is able to be received at power supply change-over device 10 does not stablize as yet; Or the required minimum voltage of the system that does not also reach electronic installation LD), assist to start the power supply of pulse width modulation controlled chip 105, and cause pulse width modulation controlled chip 105 to stop to provide pulse-width signal V PWMThereby, avoid the inner member of power supply change-over device and/or electronic installation to cause the damage that can't recover.

Digital signal processor 403 provides control signal CS in order to the baseline (initial phase) at power supply change-over device 10 1With CS 2And switching signal SS, assist pulse width modulation controlled chip 105 to operate in system voltage V to cause rectified signal AC_IN ' CCReact on clock signal (clock signal) CLK and control signal CS is provided down, and during the running of power supply change-over device 10 (operation phase), 1With CS 2So that rectified signal AC_IN ' is carried out discrete sampling; And record is associated with the comparison signal CMP of discrete sampling according to this; Thereby when the peak value of rectified signal AC_IN ' has the required minimum voltage of the system that reaches electronic installation LD in N the cycle of rectified signal AC_IN ' (alternating voltage AC_IN maybe be stable), output under-voltage protection signal BOP give pulse-width signal generator 109, so that pulse-width signal generator 109 provides/produce pulse-width signal V PWMGive power switch Q 1
Can seem; When digital signal processor 403 never reaches the required minimum voltage of the system of electronic installation LD at the peak value of rectified signal AC_IN ' in N the cycle of rectified signal AC_IN ' (alternating voltage AC_IN is stable as yet); Then do not export under-voltage protection signal BOP and give pulse-width signal generator 109, thus make pulse-width signal generator 109 stop to provide/produce pulse-width signal V PWMGive power switch Q 1
Thus; (for example under-voltage (brown-out), the peak value that can be regarded as the rectified signal AC_IN ' that is associated with the alternating voltage AC_IN that is received does not reach the required minimum voltage of system of electronic installation LD as yet) do not stop to provide pulse-width signal V when the alternating voltage AC_IN that can make pulse width modulation controlled chip 105 received at power supply change-over device 10 stablized as yet PWMThereby, stop the power switch Q in the power supply change-over device 10 1Switching (be conducting or close), cause the damage that can't recover with the inner member of avoiding power supply change-over device 10 and/or electronic installation LD.
Clearer, Fig. 5 is the running key-drawing of the under-voltage protection unit of one embodiment of the invention.Please merge with reference to Fig. 4 and Fig. 5; At first; Baseline INI at power supply change-over device 10; For example power supply change-over device 10 rigidly connects the alternating voltage AC_IN that receives that Utilities Electric Co. provides because alternating voltage AC_IN is stable as yet, so digital signal processor 403 during this period (INI) the control signal CS of high levle can be provided constantly 1Control signal CS with switching signal SS and low level 2With under-voltage protection signal BOP.Also because of like this, pulse-width signal generator 109 just reacts on the under-voltage protection signal BOP of low level and stops to provide pulse-width signal V PWMGive power switch Q 1
Meanwhile, power switch Q 2Distinctly react on the control signal CS of high levle with switch SW 1The conducting with switching signal SS, thus make that rectified signal AC_IN ' can be via resistance R, power switch Q 2Be provided to the secondary side S that is reflected at transformer T with the conduction of switch SW 2On system voltage V CCThus, rectified signal AC_IN ' will assist pulse width modulation controlled chip 105 to be able to operate in system voltage V CCFollowing, that is: the minimum operation voltage V that reaches pulse width modulation controlled chip 105 UVLO(Fig. 6 is the alternating voltage of one embodiment of the invention and the sketch map of system voltage, from system voltage V shown in Figure 6 CCRamp-up period can find out).Assist pulse width modulation controlled chip 105 to be able to operate in system voltage V at rectified signal AC_IN ' CCUnder the time, digital signal processor 403 will change control signal CS 1With CS 2And the state of switching signal SS, and keep the state of under-voltage protection signal BOP, thus close power switch Q 2With switch SW.In other words, at the baseline INI of power supply change-over device 10, under-voltage protection unit 111 can conducting power switch Q 2With the power supply of switch SW with assistance startup pulse width modulation controlled chip 105.In case after starting the power supply of pulse width modulation controlled chip 105, then close power switch Q 2With switch SW.
On the other hand; OPE during the running of power supply change-over device 10; Because alternating voltage AC_IN also might be unstable as yet; Be that the peak value of rectified signal AC_IN ' does not reach the required minimum voltage of the system of electronic installation LD (for example 90Vac, but be not restricted to this) as yet, thus digital signal processor 403 during this period (OPE) just intermittently (discretely) control signal CS is provided 1With CS 2, so that rectified signal AC_IN ' is carried out discrete sampling.In one embodiment of this invention, the digital signal processor 403 control signal CS that OPE provided during the running of power supply change-over device 10 1With CS 2Can carry out two sub-samplings (can clearly be seen that from Fig. 5, but be not restricted to this) to each cycle in N cycle (cycle) of rectified signal AC_IN ' (N=24, but be not restricted to this, promptly aforesaid preset during), that is: take a sample altogether 48 times.
In addition, the sketch map of Fig. 7 rectified signal of being taken a sample for the superposition of one embodiment of the invention.As if these 24 cycles are carried out crossover, then can be as shown in Figure 7, and the time T of this sampling of 48 times 0~T 47Can represent respectively as follows:
