Embodiment
With reference to Fig. 2, Fig. 2 is the electrical block diagram of the linear constant-current controller of one embodiment of the invention, and identical Reference numeral is indicated identical components and parts all the time.Different with existing linear constant current scheme shown in Figure 1 is; Fig. 1 middle controller 200 inner power field effect pipes 201 are replaced by two elements; Outside high pressure (withstand voltage more than the 400V) power tube 201b and inner low pressure (withstand voltage below 40V) metal-oxide-semiconductor 201a, their cascades together.Correspondingly, between resistance 103 and electric capacity 204, set up a resistance 109 in the circuit of Fig. 2, resistance 103, resistance 109 are connected in series between the power end VCC of input voltage source VIN and controller 200a.The drain electrode of high-voltage power pipe 201b is connected to input voltage source VIN through LED load 190, and its grid connects the node between resistance 103 and the resistance 109.
Low pressure metal-oxide-semiconductor 201a replaces the position of power field effect pipe 201 among Fig. 1, and it belongs to power network current control circuit 220a, is integrated in the inside of controller 200a with other circuit.The grid of low pressure metal-oxide-semiconductor 201a is connected with the output of fast amplifier 213, and source electrode is connected to node CS, and its drain electrode connects the source electrode of high-voltage power pipe 201b.
Through the resistance ratio of change resistance 109 with resistance 103, but the grid voltage of free adjustment high-voltage power pipe 201b, and it is following to embody formula.
V(GATE)=VIN*R109/(R103+R109)+V(VCC) (1)
The benefit of doing like this is, the one, and can select the power tube of various cut-in voltages, the power tube of high cut-in voltage just to need high any grid voltage; The 2nd, can regulate the power division between power tube 201b and the low pressure metal-oxide-semiconductor 201a; The grid voltage setting of power tube 201b is high more; (it is just big more to equal V (GATE)-VGS201b) for the voltage that metal-oxide-semiconductor 201a bears; Therefore, under the constant prerequisite of output current, the power that controller 200a bears will be big more.Like this, can suitably alleviate the heat radiation difficulty of power tube 201b.Because of the heat radiation of power tube 201b is the design difficulty of whole system, so such power division is adjusted to and finds best heat radiation cost that a kind of means are provided.For example, the supposing the system total power consumption is 1.5W, and power tube 201b and metal-oxide-semiconductor 201a are bearing most system power dissipation.GATE voltage is provided with highly more, and then the voltage born of metal-oxide-semiconductor 201a is just high more, and the power that 201a bears is also just high more, and the power born of power tube 201b is just more little so.
Generally speaking, power tube 201b is bearing most of power consumption of system.Power consumption is big, will produce a lot of heats unavoidably, causes the working temperature of power tube 201b higher.If working temperature surpasses 150 degrees centigrade, will influence the life-span of power tube; As surpassing 200 degrees centigrade, the life-span of power tube possibly have only several hours, even moment burns.Consider this point, preferably, can be at controller set inside one thermal-shutdown circuit, to protect power tube 201b indirectly.With reference to Fig. 3, Fig. 3 is the electrical block diagram of the linear constant-current controller of another embodiment of the present invention.Be provided with thermal-shutdown circuit 310 in the controller 300.The detection signal CS of power network current outputs to the adder 212 among the power network current control circuit 220a with the CSOTP signal again, and outputs to the error amplifier 214 in the error amplifying circuit 230 after excess temperature protective circuit 310 is handled.Therefore, the CSOTP signal had both contained real output current information CS, contained the temperature information of controller 300 again, after the information via certain functions relation of this two aspect is handled, just can reach the purpose of overheat protector.
Fig. 4 shows a kind of concrete implementation of thermal-shutdown circuit among Fig. 3.Among Fig. 4, thermal-shutdown circuit 310 comprises temperature sensor 311, operational transconductance amplifier (OTA) 312, diode 313 and resistance 314.Wherein, the positive input terminal of operational transconductance amplifier 312 receives the signal of temperature sensor 311 outputs, and this signal is PTAT (being directly proportional with the absolute temperature) voltage for being directly proportional with temperature for example; Negative input end receives a reference voltage REFT; Its output is connected to resistance 314 through diode 313, and the other end of resistance 314 is connected to node CS.
The effect of diode 313 is unidirectional conductings, this means, it is to flow out just effectively that operational transconductance amplifier 312 has only output current, that is, have only when PTAT voltage just has electric current during greater than reference voltage REFT and pass through diode 313.PTAT voltage is proportional to the die temperature of controller 300; Therefore; When the temperature of controller 300 less than the temperature threshold of setting (this threshold value is decided by REFT) since diode 313 stop that the output current of operational transconductance amplifier 312 can't arrive on the resistance 314; That is to say that thermal-shutdown circuit 310 is not activated.Have only the temperature of working as controller 300 greater than the temperature threshold of setting, operational transconductance amplifier 312 just can be exported a certain size electric current to resistance 314, this means the startup of thermal-shutdown circuit 310.Pressure drop on the resistance 314 is big more, and CS voltage will be more little, just means that also system's output current can be more little.
Above-mentioned implication can be expressed as follows with mathematical formulae, and wherein, Gm is the transconductance parameters of operational transconductance amplifier 312.
V (CSOTP)=Gm* (V (PTAT)-V (REFT)) * R314+V (CS) is as V (PTAT)>V (REFT) (2)
=V (CS) is as V (PTAT)<V (REFT)
The operation principle of thermal-shutdown circuit 310 is as shown in Figure 5.System starts shooting at t1 constantly, and start back system temperature slowly raises, and the also linear ratio of the output PTAT voltage of temperature sensor 311 rises.After PTAT voltage is raised to VREFT (that is, system temperature has reached the overheat protector critical point), be 2 moment of t this moment, and operational transconductance amplifier 312 beginning output currents are to resistance 314.After this, the temperature of controller 300 will be parked in the overheat protector critical point, and can not rise again, shown in solid line among the figure.The dotted line of t after 2 moment representes not establish the temperature rising curve of thermal-shutdown circuit 310, and visible, temperature can constantly rise, till certain element is burnt.T2 constantly before, output current all maintains normal level, t2 constantly after, begin to reduce output current, purpose is in order to reduce power output, thereby reduce system heat power consumption so that temperature stabilization at the critical temperature point.T 3 back output current constantly is stable again, and this is the temperature current balance point of system for realizing that adjustment finds automatically.
The complete overheat protector process prescription of high-voltage power pipe 201b is following.After the start, system's heat power consumption almost all concentrates on two elements of metal-oxide-semiconductor 201a of power tube 201b and controller 300 inside, and the former will be much larger than the latter usually.Generally speaking, power tube 201b puts together with controller 300, and the temperature information that temperature sensor 311 perceives in the controller 300 has comprised the heat power consumption information of two aspects, and the one, the heat power consumption of the metal-oxide-semiconductor 201a of controller 300 inside; The 2nd, the heat power consumption of the power tube 201b of controller 300 outsides.Externally under the constant situation of condition, the total power consumption that both add up is constant basically, and is of preamble, can realize that through regulating resistance 109 power consumption of total power consumption between two elements distribute.The heat power consumption of metal-oxide-semiconductor 201a can 100% be used for making controller 300 temperature to raise, and the heat power consumption of power tube 201b can only some be delivered to controller 300 its temperature is raise, and both lean on closely more, and the heat of biography is many more.
Formula 3 can be summarized above information, wherein, and T 300The thermal equilibrium temperature of expression controller 300, P 201aThe heat power consumption of expression metal-oxide-semiconductor 201a, P 201bThe heat power consumption of expression power tube 201b.C is a heat couple coefficient, expresses the strong and weak degree of thermal coupling between power tube 201b and the controller 300, and C is big more, and thermal coupling is strong more.K 300Be thermal resistivity, express the heat-sinking capability of controller 300, heat-sinking capability is poor more, K 300Big more.K 201bBe the thermal resistivity of power tube 201b, likewise, heat-sinking capability is poor more, K 201bBig more.T AIt is the ambient temperature of system works.It is thus clear that the thermal equilibrium temperature of controller 300 is relevant with six aspect factors, the one, total heat power consumption (P of system 201a+ P 201b); Two is the power division (relevant with resistance 109 sizes) between two power component 201b and the 201a; Three is two thermal coupling intensity between the element; The 4th, the heat-sinking capability of controller 300 self; The 5th, the heat-sinking capability of power tube 201b self; The 6th, ambient temperature.
T 300=K 300*P 201a+C*K 201b*P 201b+T A (3)
Visible by formula 4, the thermal equilibrium temperature of power tube 201b is relevant with three aspect factor, and the one, himself heat-sinking capability, the 2nd, the thermal power that it bears is ambient temperature at last.
T 201b=K 201b*P 201b+T A (4)
With formula 4 substitution formula 3, the relation between thermal equilibrium temperature that can controlled device 300 and the thermal equilibrium temperature of power tube 201b is shown in formula 5.
T 300=K 300*P 201a+C*(T 201b-T A)+T A (5)
Thus it is clear that,, can realize fully indirectly power tube 201b being carried out overheat protector through the maximum operating temperature of restriction controller 300.Suppose ambient temperature T A=60 degree, controller 300 thermal resistance K 300=100, the power P of metal-oxide-semiconductor 201a 201a=0.4 watt, heat couple coefficient C=0.43, and suppose that the overheat protector threshold temperature of controller 300 is made as 130 degree, and so, can calculate according to formula 5, the maximum operating temperature of power tube 201b also is limited in about 130 degree.That is to say that as long as the maximum temperature of controller 300 is limited in below 130 degree, likewise, the maximum temperature of power tube 201b also will be limited in below 130 degree.
In above example, consider that high-voltage power pipe 201b separates with controller 300, therefore, heat couple coefficient C choosing does 0.43, representes stronger thermal coupling, and this just requires power tube 201b and controller 300 spatially at a distance of very near.This point is prone to understand; Controller 300 will provide effective overheat protector to power tube 201b, just needs as far as possible the temperature of perception power tube 201b exactly, certainly will require power tube 201b spatially as far as possible near controller 300; That is to say that the thermal coupling intensity between them will be tried one's best greatly.Among the present invention, preferably, can adopt one of following dual mode make the two spatially near.A kind of mode is, on circuit board, under the condition that electric property allows, makes power tube 201b and controller 300 as close as possible, makes thermal coupling as far as possible strongly.Because the cause of space opening, general this thermal coupling intensity are all understood weak, C is below 0.3 usually; Another kind of mode is, power tube 201b and controller 300 is enclosed in the confined space, such as, power tube 201b tube core and controller 300 tube cores are enclosed in an integrated circuit encapsulates, like this, can heat couple coefficient C be done height, as accomplish C=0.6.
It may be noted that the particular circuit configurations shown in Fig. 4 is an example of thermal-shutdown circuit among Fig. 3, said thermal-shutdown circuit also can adopt other forms of circuit structure, as long as can realize the described overheat protector principle of preamble.This is understandable to those skilled in the art.
With reference to Fig. 4, preferably, can between LED load 190 and high-voltage power pipe 201b, diode 201c be set once more, the negative pole of the positive pole of diode 201c and LED load 190 and electric capacity 185 is connected together, and its negative pole connects the drain electrode of high-voltage power pipe 201b.Because after power tube 201b is external, introduce easily the interference that is difficult to expect, the most dangerous interference is exactly a negative current, possibly cause the controller 300 can't operate as normal.And utilize the unidirectional on state characteristic of diode 201c, just can avoid the interference of negative current effectively to controller 300.Simultaneously, because negative current can cause loss in efficiency, diode 201c can also play the effect of increase system efficiency.Certainly, diode 201c also can be positioned at other positions, and for example, between resistance 103 and electric capacity 185, load 190, the positive pole of 201c is connected to the common tie point of resistance 103, resistance 205 and rectifier bridge 180 positive outputs, and negative pole connects the positive pole of electric capacity 185.This method that connects also can reach same effect.
Preferably, as shown in Figure 4, also can be at the outer setting electric capacity 301 of controller 300, an end of electric capacity 301 is connected to reference to ground, and the other end is connected with node IN.At node IN, the source electrode of power tube 201b is connected with the drain electrode of low pressure metal-oxide-semiconductor 201a.Because node IN is the direct current high impedance, very easily introduces noise, thereby the work of meeting interference suppressor 300 and power tube 201b, even cause system to be burnt.The effect of electric capacity 301 just is, a Low ESR alternating current path is provided, the interference that filtering is possible, thus guarantee system safety operation.
