Background technology
The power loss of switch converters mainly comes from the conduction loss or the switching loss of switching tube.Under the situation of heavy duty, output off current HIGH, so conduction loss is in the highest flight.Under underloading or ideal case, output current is low, and the switching loss of switching tube in the highest flight.If still with primary frequency work, significant switching loss can reduce conversion efficiency to switch converters when underloading.For this reason, can reduce the switching loss of switch converters under the light condition through the mode of frequency reducing.
A kind of solution commonly used is to adopt the turn-off time control mode that is easy to realize the underloading frequency reducing.Fig. 1 is a kind of circuit diagram of switch converters 100 of existing employing turn-off time control.Switch converters 100 is operated in the discontinuous current pattern, receives input voltage V IN, for load 150 provides output voltage V OOr output current I OSwitch converters 100 comprises switching circuit, feedback circuit 140 and control circuit.Wherein switching circuit adopts the inverse-excitation converting topology, comprises input capacitor C IN, transformer T, diode D, output capacitor C OUTAnd switching tube M.Control circuit comprises capacitor C M, current source I M0, discharge switch pipe S, first comparison circuit 110, second comparison circuit 120 and trigger 130.Current source I M0An end be coupled to supply power voltage V CC, the other end is coupled to capacitor C MWith the end of discharge switch pipe S, capacitor C MOther end ground connection with discharge switch pipe S.The output signal U of feedback circuit 140 receiving key circuit O(output voltage V O, output current I OPerhaps both combinations), produce the feedback signal FB of reflected load state.Second comparison circuit 120 is with feedback signal FB and capacitor C MThe voltage V at two ends M0Compare.First comparison circuit 110 flows through representative the current detection signal CS and the peak-current signal V of switching tube M electric current PeakCompare.
As shown in Figure 1, during switching tube M conducting, current detection signal CS increases gradually.When current detection signal CS reaches peak-current signal V PeakThe time, first comparison circuit, 110 reset flip-flops 130, switching tube M turn-offs.As capacitor C MThe voltage V at two ends M0During greater than feedback signal FB, second comparison circuit, 120 set flip-flops 130, switching tube M conducting once more.Second comparison circuit, 120 output pulse signal Pulse are to the control end of discharge switch pipe S simultaneously, and conducting discharge switch pipe S one preset duration Tp makes capacitor C MThe voltage V at two ends M0Reduce to zero.After preset duration Tp finished, discharge switch pipe S broke off, current source I M0Again be capacitor C MCharging, capacitor C MThe voltage V at two ends M0Linear growth.When load reduced, feedback signal FB increased, current source I M0To capacitor C MCharging interval elongated, the turn-off time of switching tube M is elongated, the operating frequency of switch converters 100 reduces.
In the application of reality, the inventor finds current source I M0Choose and have certain problem.For example, we hope current source I on the one hand M0The magnitude of current as far as possible little, to reduce the operating frequency of switch converters, the switching loss when effectively suppressing underloading when the underloading to greatest extent.Yet on the other hand, we hope current source I again M0The magnitude of current want enough big, when guaranteeing that switch converters is operated in high frequency, feedback signal FB can reach the requirement (enough greatly, usually greater than 50mV) of signal resolution, to avoid receiving the interference of system noise.
