In prior art, voltage-type regulator can adopt multiple control modes, such as voltage mode control or current control mode or Time constant control model.With reference to figure 1, be depicted as a kind of theory diagram adopting the control circuit of the voltage-type regulator of constant on-time control model adopting prior art.In this implementation, output voltage V outthrough divider resistance R fb1with resistance R fb2after carrying out dividing potential drop, obtain feedback signal V fB.The inverting input receiving feedback signals V of comparator 101 fB, in-phase input end receives reference voltage V ref, the output of comparator 101 is connected to and door 103 input.The output signal of minimum turn-off time generating circuit 102 is received with another input of door 103.The set end S of rest-set flip-flop 105 receives the output signal with door 103, reset terminal receives the output signal of constant on-time circuit for generating 104, the output signal of output Q inputs to logic and driver circuitry 106, drives master power switch pipe Q1 and synchronizing power switching tube Q2 respectively to produce corresponding drive singal.
Its detailed operation is as follows: as feedback signal V fBdrop to reference voltage V reftime, the output signal of comparator 101 is high level, if the output signal of minimum turn-off time generating circuit 102 is similarly high level, be then high level with the output signal of door 103, with set rest-set flip-flop 105, the output signal of output Q is high level.By logic and driver circuitry 106, by master power switch pipe Q1 conducting, and synchronizing power switching tube Q2 is turned off, thus feedback signal V fBstart to rise.After the conducting state duration of master power switch pipe Q1 arrives the Time constant that 104 timing of constant on-time circuit for generating produce, master power switch pipe Q1 is turned off, then now feedback signal V fBstart to decline, until again drop to reference voltage V ref.Go round and begin again, by this constant on-time control model, control output voltage V outmaintain substantially constant.
But, adopt this control mode, as output voltage V outwith input voltage V inclosely, or during approximately equal, now wish that the conducting duty ratio of master power switch pipe Q1 close to 1, namely can be in full-gear.But the length of Time constant produced due to constant on-time circuit for generating 104 and the existence of minimum turn-off time, make the conducting duty ratio of master power switch pipe Q1 cannot as far as possible close to 1.Therefore, when this situation, system cannot normally work, and cannot obtain stable output voltage.On the other hand, when the output loading generation saltus step of voltage-type regulator, due to the existence of constant on-time, make the transient response speed of load very slow.Such as, when output loading increases suddenly, now there is sudden change from low to high in output current, and because constant on-time is fixing, therefore, control circuit cannot turn off master power switch pipe in time, causes transient response speed very slow.

Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing, several preferred embodiment of the present invention is described in detail, but the present invention is not restricted to these embodiments.The present invention contain any make on marrow of the present invention and scope substitute, amendment, equivalent method and scheme.To have the present invention to make the public and understand thoroughly, in the following preferred embodiment of the present invention, describe concrete details in detail, and do not have the description of these details also can understand the present invention completely for a person skilled in the art.
With reference to figure 2, be depicted as the theory diagram of the control circuit of the voltage-type regulator according to first embodiment of the invention.In this embodiment, master power switch pipe Q1, synchronizing power switching tube Q2, inductance L 0with electric capacity C 0form a voltage-dropping type power stage circuit.
Control circuit 200 comprises first control circuit 201, Time constant circuit for generating 202, second control circuit 203 and logical circuit 204; Wherein,
First control circuit 201 is in order to compare the first voltage signal V received triawith the first reference voltage V ref1, produce the first control signal S1.
First voltage signal V triaby feedback signal V fBwith a ripple signal V ripplesuperposition produces; Here, ripple signal V ripplewith the duty ratio same-phase of the master power switch pipe Q1 in voltage-type regulator.

Logical circuit 204 receives the first control signal S1, Time constant signal S twith the second control signal S2, with when the different operating state of voltage-type regulator, produce corresponding control signal S ctrlcontrol the on off state of master power switch pipe Q1.
When the first operating state, when namely voltage-type regulator is in normal operating conditions, logical circuit 204 is according to Time constant signal S tthe on off state of master power switch pipe Q1 is controlled with the second control signal S2.Voltage-type regulator is with Time constant work pattern, and operating frequency remains constant.
When the second operating state, namely the output voltage of voltage-type regulator and input voltage very close to time, logical circuit 204 controls the on off state of master power switch pipe Q1 according to the first control signal S1 and the second control signal S2.Voltage-type regulator is no longer with Time constant work pattern, and operating frequency is reduced, and to ensure that now voltage-type regulator normally works, output voltage remains constant.
Here, ripple signal V ripplecan be obtained by multiple different implementation.Fig. 3 lists a kind of specific embodiment.With reference to figure 3A, ripple signal circuit for generating 300 comprises the first filter circuit be made up of resistance R1 and electric capacity C1 be connected in series and the second filter circuit be made up of resistance R2 and electric capacity C2.First filter circuit and the second filter circuit are the filter circuit with higher time constant.Concrete, the node voltage V of the first filter circuit receiver voltage type adjuster lX, due to master power switch pipe Q1 and synchronizing power switching tube Q2 alternate conduction, therefore, node voltage V lXit is a square wave voltage signal.Node voltage V lXcarry out after filtering through the first filter circuit, generate the first average voltage V of 13 jiao of waveform shape at the points of common connection place of resistance R1 and electric capacity C1 ave1.Then, the first average voltage V ave1carry out filtering through the second filter circuit again, generate the second average voltage V of 13 jiao of waveform shape at the points of common connection place of resistance R2 and electric capacity C2 ave2, as shown in Figure 3 B.Second average voltage V ave2peak-to-peak value be less than the first average voltage V ave1.By the first average voltage V ave1with the second average voltage V ave2carry out subtraction, and carry out certain scale operation, thus obtain ripple signal V ripple.
According to the ripple signal V of the embodiment of the present invention ripplewith the duty ratio same-phase of the master power switch pipe Q1 in voltage-type regulator, and there is no DC component, when the conducting of master power switch pipe, there is the rate of rise, when the conducting of synchronizing power switching tube, there is descending slope.
Below in conjunction with specific embodiment, describe the specific implementation of each circuit structure of the control circuit according to voltage-type regulator of the present invention in detail.
With reference to figure 4A, be depicted as the theory diagram of the control circuit of the voltage-type regulator according to second embodiment of the invention.
In this embodiment, first control circuit comprises comparator 402, and its in-phase input end receives ripple signal V ripplewith feedback signal V fBthe the first voltage signal V be formed by stacking tria, inverting input receives upper limit reference voltage V rEF_H(the first reference voltage).
Time constant circuit for generating comprises ramp generator 406, comparator 403 and holding circuit 407.The inverting input of comparator 403 receives one and output voltage V outthe reference voltage V of proportional relation rEF1, in-phase input end receives the ramp signal V that ramp generator 406 exports ramp.The output signal of comparator 403 is carried out sampling through holding circuit 407 and is kept.A kind of specific implementation of ramp generator 406 is as follows: current source I cHG, charging capacitor C cHGwith gate-controlled switch Q tbetween the in-phase input end being connected in comparator 403 each other in parallel and ground.Wherein, current source I cHGelectric current and input voltage V indirect proportionality, gate-controlled switch Q ton off state contrary with the on off state of master power switch pipe Q1.
Second control circuit comprises comparator 401, and its in-phase input end receives lower limit reference voltage V rEF_L(the second reference voltage), inverting input receives the first voltage signal V tria.
Logical circuit comprises and door 404 and rest-set flip-flop 405.The first control signal S1 and Time constant signal S is received respectively with two inputs of door 404 t, output is connected to the reset terminal of rest-set flip-flop 405.In a switch periods, select the first control signal S1 and Time constant signal S tmiddle effective time, longer signal controlled the shutoff operation of master power switch pipe Q1, utilized the second control signal S2 to control the conducting operation of master power switch pipe Q1, to ensure that voltage-type regulator is applicable to all input voltages and the occasion of output voltage.Here, upper limit reference voltage V rEF_Hwith lower limit reference voltage V rEF_Lnumerical value carry out relative set according to the circuit parameter of voltage-type regulator.
The working waveform figure of the control circuit of the voltage-type regulator shown in Fig. 4 A is depicted as to describe its operation principle in detail below in conjunction with Fig. 4 B.
At moment t 0, the first voltage signal V triadrop to lower limit reference voltage V rEF_L, the second control signal S2 that comparator 401 exports becomes high level, by set end S, and the output signal S that triggered RS flip-flop 405, Q is held ctrlbecome high level, thus the output signal T of logic and driver circuitry 106 gbecome high level, master power switch pipe Q1 starts conducting.First voltage signal V triastart to rise.
Gate-controlled switch Q in ramp generator 406 tnow be in off state, current source I cHGelectric current to electric capacity C cHGcharge, electric capacity C cHGthe voltage at two ends, i.e. ramp signal V rampcontinue to rise.As ramp signal V ramprise to reference voltage V rEF1time, at moment t 2, the Time constant signal S that comparator 403 exports tbecome high level, through holding circuit 407, Time constant signal S tduration of high level be moment t 2(moment t is terminated to this switch periods current 4).Holding circuit 407 can be obtained by the implementation such as timing circuit or rest-set flip-flop, and no longer illustrating at this is described.
Master power switch pipe Q1 is in conducting state time interval, the first voltage signal V triacontinue to rise.As the first voltage signal V triabe greater than upper limit reference voltage V rEF_Htime, the first control signal S1 that comparator 402 exports starts to become high level.
Due to the effect with door 404, only has the first control signal S1 and Time constant signal S twhen being high level, rest-set flip-flop 405 is just reset simultaneously, the drive singal T of master power switch pipe Q1 gjust become low level, since turn off master power switch pipe Q1.When normal operating conditions, input voltage V inspecific output voltage V outheight, both numerical value has certain difference (such as output voltage is 3.3V, and input voltage is 5V), the first voltage signal V triawith the duty ratio same-phase of master power switch pipe Q1.In a switch periods T, at ramp signal V ramprise to reference voltage V rEF1(i.e. moment t before 2before), the first voltage signal V triabe greater than upper limit reference voltage V rEF_H(i.e. moment t 1), therefore, when this operating state, the off state of master power switch pipe Q1 is by Time constant signal S tcontrol, the ON time t of master power switch pipe Q1 onmaintain constant, the length of ON time is ramp voltage V ramprise to reference voltage V rEF1time.Then, the first voltage signal V triastart to decline, until again drop to lower limit reference voltage V rEF_Ltime (moment t 4), master power switch pipe Q1 is switched on again, goes round and begins again, and master power switch pipe Q1 is with constant on-time work pattern.
Below describe ON time t in detail onnumerical value arrange a kind of implementation.
Current source I is set cHGthe numerical value of electric current and input voltage V indirect proportionality, proportionality coefficient is k1; Reference voltage V is set rEF1numerical value and output voltage V outdirect proportionality, proportionate relationship is k2; Here electric capacity C is supposed cHGcapacitance be C 1, then ON time t onfollowing formula (1) can be passed through calculate:
t on = k 2 × V out k 1 × V in C 1 = k 2 × C 1 k 1 × V out V in - - - ( 1 )
According to the operation principle of voltage-dropping type topological structure, above formula (1) can be converted to following formula (2),
t on = k 2 × C 1 k 1 × V out V in = T × D - - - ( 2 )
Due to ON time t onmaintain constant, output voltage V outwith input voltage V inratio maintain constant, namely duty ratio D maintain constant, therefore, now the switch periods T of voltage-type regulator is a steady state value, and operating frequency is a fixed value, and what achieve voltage-type regulator determines frequency work.Reduce this and bring facility to the design of EMI filtering circuit, decrease circuit cost; And to the interference reduction of other circuit, the stability of whole voltage-type regulator is strengthened.
As input voltage V inwith output voltage V outduring very little the or approximately equal of difference (such as output voltage is 3.3V, and input voltage is 3.8V), in order to maintain the normal work of system, now voltage-type regulator is no longer with constant on-time mode of operation.With reference to the working waveform figure of the control circuit of the voltage-type regulator shown in figure 4C, its operation principle is described as follows.
At moment t 0, the first voltage signal V triadrop to lower limit reference voltage V rEF_L, the second control signal S2 that comparator 401 exports becomes high level, by set end S, and triggered RS flip-flop 405, output signal T gbecome high level, master power switch pipe Q1 starts conducting.First voltage signal V triastart to rise.
Now, ramp signal V rampcontinue to rise.As ramp signal V ramprise to reference voltage V rEF1time, at moment t 1, Time constant signal S tbecome high level, Time constant signal S tduration of high level be moment t 1(moment t is terminated to this switch periods current 3).
Master power switch pipe Q1 is in conducting state time interval, the first voltage signal V triacontinue to rise.Due to input voltage V inwith output voltage V outdifference is very little, so the first voltage signal V triaclimbing speed is very slow, until moment t 2, the first voltage signal V triarise to upper limit reference voltage V rEF_H, the first control signal S1 that comparator 402 exports starts to become high level.
In a switch periods T, at constant on-time t onafter end, the first voltage signal V triajust rise to upper limit reference voltage V rEF_H.Therefore, when this operating state, the off state of master power switch pipe Q1 is controlled by the first control signal S1.Then, the first voltage signal V triastart to decline, until again drop to lower limit reference voltage V rEF_Ltime (moment t3), master power switch pipe Q1 is switched on again, to maintain the normal work of system.
Visible, when this operating state, the switch periods of voltage-type regulator is elongated, and corresponding operating frequency reduces.
What more than describe the voltage-type regulator of constant on-time control mode in detail realizes principle.Similar, for the voltage-type regulator of constant off-time control mode, in each switch periods, when described first voltage signal is greater than described second reference voltage (as a upper limit reference voltage), start to turn off master power switch pipe.When normal operating conditions, after a constant off-time, master power switch pipe described in conducting.The ratio direct proportionality of described constant off-time and the difference between input voltage and output voltage and input voltage.When the second operating state, when the first voltage signal drops to described first reference voltage (as a upper limit reference voltage), master power switch pipe described in conducting.
Below in conjunction with specific embodiment, describe the operation principle of the control method according to voltage-type regulator of the present invention in detail.
With reference to figure 5, be depicted as the flow chart of the control method of the voltage-type regulator according to one embodiment of the invention, it is in order to control the state of a voltage-type regulator, to produce a constant output voltage at the output of described voltage-type regulator, comprises the following steps:

S507: when the second operating state, described comparison signal controls the on off state of described master power switch pipe.
Wherein, ripple signal can be obtained by multiple implementation method.Fig. 6 lists a kind of production method flow chart with the synchronous ripple signal of duty ratio that obtains, and concrete comprises the following steps:
S601: the node voltage of sampled voltage type adjuster;
S602: carry out filtering to described node voltage, to obtain the first filtering voltage;
S603: carry out filtering to described first filtering voltage, to obtain the second filtering voltage;
S604: described first filtering voltage and described second filtering voltage are carried out difference operation, to obtain a difference voltage;

When the second operating state, such as, as input voltage V inwith output voltage V outduring very little the or approximately equal of difference (such as output voltage is 3.3V, and input voltage is 3.8V), in order to maintain the normal work of system, now voltage-type regulator is no longer with constant on-time mode of operation.But according to the comparative result of described first voltage signal and described upper limit reference voltage, when described first voltage signal rises to described upper limit reference voltage, turn off described master power switch pipe.
According to the control method of the voltage-type regulator of the embodiment of the present invention, according to the magnitude relationship between input voltage and output voltage, select corresponding cut-off signals implementation.Wherein, the ratio direct proportionality of described constant on-time and described output voltage and described input voltage, thus when constant on-time control model, the switch periods T of ME for maintenance type adjuster is a steady state value, operating frequency is a fixed value, and what achieve voltage-type regulator determines frequency work.Reduce this and bring facility to the design of EMI filtering circuit, decrease circuit cost; And to the interference reduction of other circuit, the stability of whole voltage-type regulator is strengthened.
