Power supply change-over device according to the embodiment of the invention will briefly be described below.Fig. 1 is that diagram is according to the block diagram of the power supply change-over device of the embodiment of the invention.As shown in Figure 1, the power supply change-over device that adopts in the electronic equipment such as mobile phone, notebook computer or panel computer can comprise: input 1, output 2, power conversion unit 3 (comprising linear power supply converting unit 31, power of chopping converting unit 32) and power conversion unit selected cell 4.
Here, the input 1 of power supply change-over device can connect with the DC power supply of electronic equipment (as, battery), and is used for receiving input voltage from power supply.The output of power supply change-over device can with each load of electronic equipment (as, processor, display screen, communication module etc.) connect, and provide output voltage (that is the operating voltage of each parts of electronic equipment) to these loads.
In addition, the linearity in the power conversion unit 3 (Linear) power conversion unit 31 can be arranged between input 1 and the output 2, and the input voltage of input 1 can be converted to the output voltage of output 2, and makes this output voltage stabilization.Copped wave in the power conversion unit 3 (Buck) power conversion unit 32 can be arranged between input 1 and the output 2, and the input voltage of input 1 can be converted to the output voltage of output 2, and makes this output voltage stabilization.Here, input voltage at input 1 higher (as, the output voltage of the battery of electronic equipment is higher), namely the output voltage of power supply change-over device and its input voltage (as, when the ratio output voltage of battery) was low, the Buck power conversion unit had good power supply conversion efficiency usually.Yet, input voltage at input 1 lower (as, the battery electric quantity of electronic equipment is low to cause the output voltage of battery to be lower than specific threshold), be the output voltage of power supply change-over device and its input voltage (as, during the output voltage of battery) relatively low, the power supply conversion efficiency of Linear power conversion unit is higher than Buck power conversion unit.

Then, with reference to the 26S Proteasome Structure and Function of Fig. 2 description according to each parts of the power supply change-over device of the embodiment of the invention.Fig. 2 is that diagram is according to the schematic block diagram of the structure of each parts of the power supply change-over device of the embodiment of the invention.
As shown in Figure 2, the power supply change-over device according to the embodiment of the invention can comprise input 1, output 2, feedback unit 300, reference voltage generation unit 301, error amplifying unit 302, driver element 303, triangular wave concussion unit 304, pwm unit 305, driver element 306, metal-oxide-semiconductor 307, inductor 308, diode 309, output capacitor 310, duty ratio detecting unit 400, drive switch control unit 401 and drive switch unit 402.Here, Linear power conversion unit 31 shown in Figure 1 comprises feedback unit 300, reference voltage generation unit 301, error amplifying unit 302, driver element 303 and metal-oxide-semiconductor 307, and the Buck power conversion unit comprises feedback unit 300, reference voltage generation unit 301, error amplifying unit 302, triangular wave concussion unit 303, pwm unit 305, second driver element 306 and MOS (metal-oxide-semiconductor) transistor 307.Here, because function and the structure of Linear power conversion unit 31 and Buck power conversion unit 32 are known to those skilled in the art, therefore only it is simply described here.
As shown in Figure 2, feedback unit 300 is connected with output 2, and can produce feedback voltage based on output voltage.Reference voltage generation unit 301 can produce predetermined reference voltage.Error amplifying unit 302 is connected with reference voltage generation unit 301 with feedback unit 300, and the voltage difference between the reference voltage that the feedback voltage that feedback voltage 300 can be produced and reference voltage generation unit 301 produce is amplified, and the voltage difference of amplifying is exported as error amplification signal.Driver element 303 is connected with error amplifying unit 302, and the error amplification signal from error amplifying unit 302 can be converted to the driving signal for driven MOS pipe 307.Here, according to another embodiment of the invention, enough under the big situation, can directly utilize the error amplification signal of error amplifier 302 as driving signal (namely need not to arrange driver element 303) at the error amplification signal of error amplifying unit 302.
Metal-oxide-semiconductor 307 is arranged between input 1 and the output 2, and can be connected with driver element 303.When metal-oxide-semiconductor 307 was connected with driver element 303, metal-oxide-semiconductor 307 can be based on the output voltage of the driving Signal Regulation output 2 of driver element 303, and makes the output voltage of output 2 keep substantially constant.
Triangular wave concussion unit 304 can produce the triangular signal (as: triangular wave, sawtooth waveforms etc.) of the level with triangular wave shape.
Pulse width modulation (PWM) unit 305 is connected with triangular wave concussion unit 304 with error amplifying unit 302, and can compare based on the triangular signal of the error amplification signal of error amplifying unit 302 and triangular wave concussion unit 304, and the result produces pulse signal through pulse width modulation based on the comparison.For example, when the level of error amplification signal is higher than the level of triangular signal, pwm unit 305 can be exported high level signal, and when the level of error amplification signal was lower than the level of triangular signal, pwm unit 305 can the output low level signal.Therefore, if because the variation of the load of electronic equipment causes the level of error amplification signal to change, the duty ratio of the output of pwm unit 305 (pulse-modulated signal) (time in the time/high level of high level and a low level whole cycle) also can change.Here, the pulse-modulated signal of pwm unit 305 has the shape of square wave.
Driver element 306 is connected with pwm unit 305, and the pulse-modulated signal from pwm unit 305 can be converted to the driving signal for driven MOS pipe 307.In addition, driver element 306 can also be connected with metal-oxide-semiconductor 307, and when metal-oxide-semiconductor 307 was connected with driver element 306, metal-oxide-semiconductor 307 can be based on the output voltage of the driving Signal Regulation output 2 of driver element 306, and makes the output voltage of output 2 keep substantially constant.
Here, feedback unit 300, reference voltage generation unit 301, error amplifying unit 302, driver element 303 and metal-oxide-semiconductor 307 can be formed Linear power conversion unit 31 shown in Figure 1.In this case, if the load of Linear power conversion unit 31 change (as, electronic equipment standby or operating state etc.), then the output voltage at output 2 also can change, thereby causes the feedback voltage of feedback unit 300 to change.Here, because the difference that error amplifying unit 302 amplifies reference voltage and feedback voltage, therefore the output of error amplifying unit 302 also can change, cause the variation of the driving signal of driver element 303 outputs thus, the variation that drives signal then causes the variation of the output current of metal-oxide-semiconductor 307, thereby can regulate the output voltage of output 2 so that it keeps substantially constant.
In addition, feedback unit 300, reference voltage generation unit 301, error amplifying unit 302, triangular wave concussion unit 304, pwm unit 305, driver element 306 and metal-oxide-semiconductor 307 can be formed Buck power conversion unit shown in Figure 1.In this case, if the load of Buck power conversion unit 32 change (as, electronic equipment standby or operating state etc.), then the output voltage at output 2 also can change, thereby causes the feedback voltage of feedback unit 300 to change.Here, because the difference that error amplifying unit 302 amplifies reference voltage and feedback voltage, so the output of error amplifying unit 302 also can change.In this case, the duty ratio of the pulse signal that pulse width modulation (PWM) unit 305 produces also can change, cause the duty ratio of the driving signal of driver element 306 also correspondingly to change thus, thereby corresponding the variation takes place in the on/off time that makes metal-oxide-semiconductor 307, thereby can make the output voltage of output 2 keep substantially constant based on driving signal.
In addition, because the output voltage of Buck power conversion unit 32 has impulse waveform (by having the drive metal-oxide-semiconductor 307 of impulse waveform), so Buck power conversion unit 32 can further include inductor 308, diode 309 and output capacitor 310.Inductor 308 is connected between metal-oxide-semiconductor 307 and the output 2, and diode 309 is connected between the tie point and earth potential (Ground) of inductor 308 and metal-oxide-semiconductor 307, and output capacitor 310 is connected between the output and earth potential of inductor 308.Inductor 308, diode 309 and output capacitor 310 are formed and are used for filtering from the voltage/current of metal-oxide-semiconductor 307 outputs and make the voltage/current of filtering become the filter unit of the operable VD/electric current of load of electronic equipment.Here, because function and the structure of the filter unit that inductor 308, diode 309 and capacitor 310 are formed are known to those skilled in the art, therefore omitted the detailed description about them here.
Here, because Linear power conversion unit 31 has identical 26S Proteasome Structure and Function with subelement in the Buck power conversion unit 32, therefore by make Linear power conversion unit 31 and Buck power conversion unit 32 shared portion elements (as, feedback unit 300, reference voltage generation unit 301, error amplifying unit 302 and metal-oxide-semiconductor 307 etc.), the complexity of the power supply change-over device that comprises Linear and Buck power conversion unit can be reduced, and the complexity of power supply change-over device can be reduced.
As shown in Figure 2, duty ratio detecting unit 400, driving switch control unit 401 and driving switch unit 402 have been formed power conversion unit selected cell 4 shown in Figure 1.
Duty ratio detecting unit 400 is connected with pwm unit 305, and can detect the duty ratio of the output of pwm unit 305.According to one embodiment of present invention, duty ratio detecting unit 400 can be realized by duty detection circuit arbitrarily, and can export the duty ratio detection signal corresponding with the duty ratio of the pulse signal of pwm unit 305.Drive switch control unit 401 and be connected with duty ratio detecting unit 400, and can produce control signal based on the output (duty ratio detection signal) with duty ratio detecting unit 400.Drive switch unit 402 and be connected with driving switch control unit 401, and be arranged between driver element 303, driver element 306 and the metal-oxide-semiconductor 307.Driving switch unit 402 can be electronic switch, and can one of driver element 303, driver element 306 be connected with metal-oxide-semiconductor 307 based on the control signal that driving switch control unit 401 provides, thereby can select Linear power conversion unit 31 and Buck power conversion unit 32.
Particularly, driving switch control unit 401 receives the duty ratio detection signals and obtains the duty ratio of the pulse signal of pwm unit 305 based on this signal from duty ratio detecting unit 400.Here, because the pulse signal of pwm unit 305 is used for the on/off of control metal-oxide-semiconductor 307, and the ratio of the voltage between the two ends of metal-oxide-semiconductor 307 is by the ratio decision in turn-on time and the whole cycle of metal-oxide-semiconductor 307, so the ratio between the input voltage of the output voltage of output 2 and input 1 equals the duty ratio of the pulse signal of pwm unit 305.Then, drive switch control unit 401 duty ratio and the preset threshold value that obtains compared, and the result produces control signal to select Linear power conversion unit and Buck power conversion unit based on the control signal that is produced based on the comparison.As description before, preset threshold value is represented the threshold value of the ratio between output voltage and the input voltage, and predetermined threshold can be determined based on the power supply conversion efficiency when different inputs, the output voltage ratio of Linear power conversion unit and Buck power conversion unit, and can be experiment value or empirical value.In this case, during greater than this predetermined threshold value, Linear power conversion unit 31 has better power supply conversion efficiency in duty ratio.In this case, determine duty ratio detecting unit 400 detected duty ratios greater than predetermined threshold value if drive switch control unit 401, drive switch control unit 401 control driving switch units 402 and select the Linear power conversion unit.Particularly, drive switch control unit 401 and can send control signals to driving switch unit 402, make that driving switch unit 402 is connected to select Linear power conversion unit 31 with driver element 303 with metal-oxide-semiconductor 307.In addition, determine that duty ratio detecting unit 400 detected duty ratios are less than or equal to predetermined threshold value if drive switch control unit 401, drive switch control unit 401 control driving switch units 402 and select Buck power conversion unit 32.Particularly, drive switch control unit 401 and can send control signals to driving switch unit 402, make that driving switch unit 402 is connected to select Buck power conversion unit 32 with driver element 306 with metal-oxide-semiconductor 307.
Described in the above according to exemplary embodiment of the present invention, yet, the invention is not restricted to this.For example, power conversion unit selected cell 4 can directly detect the input voltage of input 1 and the output voltage of output 2, and calculates the ratio of output voltage and input voltage.After the ratio that obtains output voltage and input voltage, driving switch control unit 401 in the power conversion unit selected cell 4 compares this ratio and predetermined threshold, and the result controls driving switch unit 402 selection Buck power conversion unit 32 or Linear power conversion units 31 based on the comparison.In addition, can also only detect the input voltage of input 1, and drive switch unit 402 by control at input voltage during less than a threshold value and select Linear power conversion units 31, perhaps drive switch unit 402 by control at input voltage during more than or equal to this threshold value and select Buck power conversion units 32.
By above-mentioned configuration, detect the output voltage of power supply change-over device and the ratio of input voltage.If the ratio of the output voltage of power supply change-over device and input voltage smaller or equal to predetermined threshold value, is then selected Buck power conversion unit 32, otherwise select Linear power conversion unit 31.In this case, select suitable power conversion unit to come to provide high power supply conversion efficiency under the different situations according to the voltage that offers power supply change-over device, thereby improve the performance of whole electric equipment.For example, under the situation of the electric weight deficiency of the battery of electronic equipment, carry out the power supplys conversion by Linear power conversion unit 31, and under the situation in the electric weight abundance of the battery of electronic equipment, carry out the power supplys conversion by Buck power conversion unit 31.
