Fig. 2 is the functional block diagram after an embodiment simplification of the control circuit 110 in Fig. 1.In this reality Executing in example, resistance detector 112 includes the first comparator 223, transistor 225 and the first switch 227.Transistor 225 and switch 227 are coupled to electric current and produce module 113 and control between pin 111. The outfan of comparator 223 is coupled to the control end of transistor 225, and the input coupling of comparator 223 It is connected to control pin 111 and the first reference voltage Vf1.Comparator 223 will be for controlling pin 111 Voltage VP and the first reference voltage Vf1 compare, and according to result of the comparison control flow through crystal The faradic current Ir of pipe 225.Mode switching circuit 115 is coupled to switch the control end of 227, in order to control The switching of system switch 227.

In the embodiment of fig. 2, mode switching circuit 115 includes synchronous signal detection device (sync signal Detector) 251 and in-phase signal generator (in-phase signal) 253.Synchronous signal detection device 251 couples In controlling pin 111, resistance detector 112 and agitator 114, it is used for detecting control pin 111 Voltage VP, and control resistance detector 112 and the running of agitator 114.In-phase signal generator 253 are coupled to synchronous signal detection device 251 and agitator 114, for according to agitator 114 output time Arteries and veins signal CLK produces in-phase signal WS identical with clock signal CLK phase place.Such as, with believing Number generator 253 can produce narrower right of a pulsewidth when the rising edge of each clock signal CLK triggers Answer pulse wave, using as in-phase signal WS.
Hereinafter collocation Fig. 3~Fig. 4 is further illustrated the function mode of control circuit 110.
Fig. 3 is the sequential chart 300 after a running embodiment simplification of the control circuit 110 in Fig. 2.As Shown in Fig. 3, when control signal CS is arranged to electronegative potential to end switch 140 by switch controller 150 Time, such as, the period before time T1, outer synchronous signal EXT can't be coupled to control Pin 111.Now, controlling the voltage VP on pin 111 can be equal to the reference voltage of comparator 223 Vf1.In this stage, the synchronous signal detection device 251 in mode switching circuit 115 can be by agitator 114 are arranged to operate in resistance control model, and control signal RCM is arranged to high potential, with conducting Switch 227.Now, comparator 223, transistor 225 and switch 227 can form a negative feedback paths, The size of the faradic current Ir passing through transistor 225 can be inverse ratio with the resistance value of non-essential resistance 130.
Therefore, available resistance detector 112 detects the resistance value size of non-essential resistance 130, with certainly Fixed corresponding faradic current Ir.Electric current produces module 113 then can produce and flow through the electricity of transistor 225 The control electric current Iosc that stream Ir size is corresponding.Size and the resistance of non-essential resistance 130 due to electric current Ir Value size is corresponding, therefore the size controlling electric current Iosc also can be with the resistance value size phase of non-essential resistance 130 Corresponding.
In implementation, electric current produces module 113 and can realize with the current mirroring circuit of various frameworks, in order to replicate Electric current Ir is to produce the control electric current Iosc of identical with electric current Ir size or proportional relation.Such as, at figure In the embodiment of 3, electric current produces module 113 and includes transistor 231,233, and the second electric capacity 235. First end of transistor 231 is coupled to the first end of transistor 233, and is coupled to a fixed potential VCC.Second end of transistor 231 and control end are coupled to resistance detector 112.Transistor 233 Control end and be then coupled to the control end of transistor 231 to form a current mirror framework, in order to resistance will be flowed through The electric current Ir of detector 112 copies to the second end of transistor 233, controls electric current Iosc to produce.Electricity One end of appearance 235 is coupled to the first end of transistor 231, and the other end of electric capacity 235 is coupled to crystalline substance The control end of both body pipes 231 and 233.
When agitator 114 is arranged to operate by the synchronous signal detection device 251 in mode switching circuit 115 When resistance control model, control signal SCM can be set to electronegative potential by synchronous signal detection device 251, With the switch 243 in conducting agitator 114, control electric current Iosc is made to be conducting to the electricity in agitator 114 Hold 241.Now, synchronous signal detection device 251 also can utilize control signal SCM, by agitator 114 In combinational logic circuit 247 be arranged to according to comparator 245 output comparison signal CMP produce Clock signal CLK so that the frequency of clock signal CLK can be corresponding to controlling the size of electric current Iosc. Corresponding with the resistance value size of non-essential resistance 130 owing to controlling the size of electric current Iosc, therefore, combination The clock signal CLK that logic circuit 247 produces frequency now depends on the resistance value of non-essential resistance 130 Size.
For the producing method of the clock signal CLK that automatically switches, the synchronization letter in mode switching circuit 115 Number detector 251 can detect the change of the voltage VP controlled on pin 111.Once voltage VP deviation one Preset range, such as, the scope of deviation Vt1~Vt2, synchronous signal detection device 251 will be to voltage VP carries out the monitoring of a period of time, to determine whether that the change of voltage VP is due to external sync letter Number EXT is coupled to control pin 111, is also because noise and is caused.
In the fig. 3 embodiment, when control signal CS is switched to by switch controller 150 in time T1 High potential, during to be coupled to control pin 111 by outer synchronous signal EXT by switch 140, controls Voltage VP on pin 111 can be risen by the waveform influence of outer synchronous signal EXT and start in The most periodically change.When synchronous signal detection device 251 detects on control pin 111 in time T1 Voltage VP beyond after preset upper limit Vt1, an observation period (observation period) can be entered, and supervise Survey whether voltage VP starts occur that periodic high electronegative potential changes (transition).
When synchronous signal detection device 251 is in the observation period, in order to avoid controlling the electricity on pin 111 The change of pressure VP has influence on electric current and produces the stability of the control electric current Iosc that module 113 produces, and synchronizes Signal detection device 251 can be in time entering the observation period (that is when detecting voltage VP deviation preset range), will Control signal RCM switches to electronegative potential, to end switch 227.Now, by the electric discharge of electric capacity 235, Can make to control electric current Iosc to remain unchanged.Consequently, it is possible to the seasonal pulse letter that agitator 114 exports just can be made The frequency of number CLK, maintains the level identical or close with during agitator 114 operation resistance control model.
Can there is one or more times periodically height electricity in detecting voltage VP in synchronous signal detection device 251 During the conversion of position, it is determined that have outer synchronous signal EXT to be coupled to control pin 111.Such as, this enforcement When synchronous signal detection device 251 in example can occur that 4 second highest electronegative potentials are changed in detecting voltage VP, It is determined with outer synchronous signal EXT and is coupled to control the situation generation of pin 111.By the time voltage VP Square wave is identical with the phase place of in-phase signal WS that in-phase signal generator 253 produces or gap During less than a marginal value, synchronous signal detection device 251 will leave the observation period.In implementation, synchronizing signal Detector 251 can be when the square wave of voltage VP aligns with the rising edge of in-phase signal WS, it is determined that Both phase places are identical, or fall at the pulse wave of in-phase signal WS in the rising edge of the square wave of voltage VP Time in width range, the allot square wave of voltage VP and the phase contrast of in-phase signal WS are away from less than facing Dividing value.
In the fig. 3 embodiment, when synchronous signal detection device 251 detects voltage VP's in time T2 When square wave aligns with the rising edge of in-phase signal WS, the observation period will be left.Synchronous signal detection When device 251 leaves the observation period, agitator 114 can be switched to control pattern signal.Such as sequential chart 300 Shown in, control signal SCM now can be switched to high potential by synchronous signal detection device 251, shaking Swing the combinational logic circuit 247 in device 114 to be arranged to change according to outer synchronous signal EXT to produce synchronization Clock signal CLK, and stop the output according to comparator 245 to produce clock signal CLK so that The clock signal CLK that produces under control pattern signal of agitator 114 can be with outer synchronous signal EXT Synchronize.
When agitator 114 is switched to control pattern signal by synchronous signal detection device 251, synchronizing signal Detector 251 may utilize the switch 243 in control signal SCM cut-off agitator 114, makes control electric current Iosc stops the electric capacity 241 being conducting in agitator 114, uses saving agitator 114 and control circuit 110 current drains under control pattern signal.It addition, the in-phase signal in mode switching circuit 115 Generator 253 can also just produce same only within the period that synchronous signal detection device 251 is in the observation period Phase signals WS, to promote the power saving effect of control circuit 110 further.
Fig. 4 is the sequential chart 400 after another running embodiment simplification of the control circuit 110 in Fig. 2. The embodiment of Fig. 4 is much like with the embodiment of Fig. 3, and difference is when switch controller 150 is in time T3 Control signal CS is switched to high potential, to be coupled to by switch 140 by outer synchronous signal EXT When controlling pin 111, controlling the voltage VP on pin 111 can be by the ripple of outer synchronous signal EXT Shape affects and declines and start to present periodically change.
Draw when the synchronous signal detection device 251 in mode switching circuit 115 detects control in time T3 Voltage VP on foot 111, beyond after pre-determined lower limit Vt2, can enter observation period, and monitoring voltage VP Whether start occur that periodic high electronegative potential is changed.
Synchronous signal detection device 251 in the present embodiment detects voltage VP in time T4 and the 5th occurs During the conversion of periodic high electronegative potential, outer synchronous signal EXT can be determined with and be coupled to control pin The situation of 111 occurs.By the time the in-phase signal that the square wave of voltage VP produces with in-phase signal generator 253 When the phase place identical (such as, when both rising edges align) of both WS or gap are less than a marginal value, Synchronous signal detection device 251 will leave the observation period.
In the fig. 4 embodiment, voltage VP is detected when synchronous signal detection device 251 is in time T5 The rising edge of square wave when falling in the range of the pulse bandwidth of in-phase signal WS, the observation period will be left.
Other running explanation in the aforementioned embodiment of relevant control circuit 110, is also applied for the reality of Fig. 4 Execute example, therefore not repeated description at this.
In certain embodiments, it is also possible to by the in-phase signal generator 253 in mode switching circuit 115 Omit.In these embodiments, detect, when synchronous signal detection device 251, the electricity controlled on pin 111 After pressure VP deviates preset range and enters the observation period, synchronous signal detection device 251 can be in detecting voltage When there is the conversion of the most periodic high electronegative potential in VP, it is determined that have outer synchronous signal EXT by coupling Receive control pin 111.Now, synchronous signal detection device 251 can leave the observation period, and without etc. Edge pair to in-phase signal WS that the square wave of voltage VP produces with in-phase signal generator 253 Together.
In the embodiment of earlier figures 2, the transistor 225 in resistance detector 112 is disposed on electricity On current path between the raw module 113 of miscarriage and control pin 111, switch 227 and be then disposed on On current path between transistor 225 and control pin 111.But this is an embodiment, rather than office Ration the power supply and hinder the actual embodiment of detector 112.In implementation, also switch 227 can be changed and be arranged at electric current Produce on the current path between module 113 and transistor 225.It addition, in resistance detector 112 Switch number also can increase according to the needs of circuit design, it is not limited to the number in Fig. 2 embodiment.
Mode switching circuit 115 sets the mode of observation period and can adjust according to the demand of circuit design, It is not limited to the mode of previous embodiment.Such as, the observation period can also be set by mode switching circuit 115 Surely set time length is become.
Fig. 5 is the functional block diagram after another embodiment simplification of the control circuit 110 in Fig. 1.Fig. 5 In control circuit 110 much like with the control circuit 110 in Fig. 2, one of difference of two embodiments exists Electric current in Fig. 5 produces module 113 and has additionally comprised bias circuit 537, but eliminates electric capacity 235.Partially Volt circuit 537 is coupled to control end and the mode switching circuit 115 of transistor 233, for according to pattern The control of switching circuit 115, optionally applies a predetermined bias to the control end of transistor 233.
Mode switching circuit 115 in Fig. 5 has additionally comprised notification signal generator 555, is coupled to control Pin 111 and synchronous signal detection device 251, for detecting the square wave of the voltage VP controlled on pin 111 Cycle, and when notification signal generator 555 detects the square-wave cycle of voltage VP more than a predetermined length Time, the notification signal Tout of correspondence can be produced to synchronous signal detection device 251.
When agitator 114 is arranged to operate by the synchronous signal detection device 251 in mode switching circuit 115 When control pattern signal, multiple square-wave cycle of notification signal generator 555 meeting recording voltage VP Other time span, and synchronous signal detection device 251 control signal SCM can be switched to high potential, Start the control end to transistor 233 with control bias circuit 537 and apply predetermined bias.
Hereinafter collocation Fig. 6 is further illustrated the function mode of the control circuit 110 in Fig. 5.
As shown in Figure 6, switch controller 150 in time T6 control signal CS is arranged to electronegative potential with After cut-off switch 140, outer synchronous signal EXT just stops being coupled to control pin 111.When notice letter Number generator 555 detects the length of certain square-wave cycle of voltage VP than previous square wave in time T7 When cycle is long, notification signal Tout can be produced to notify synchronous signal detection device 251.
As notified signal Tout, synchronous signal detection device 251 can enter the observation period, and will control Signal SCM switches to electronegative potential, to turn on the switch 243 in agitator 114, and by agitator 114 In combinational logic circuit 247 be arranged to change and produce according to the comparison signal CMP of comparator 245 output Raw clock signal CLK.Now, control the electric capacity 241 that electric current Iosc can be conducting in agitator 114, And control electric current Iosc size be by bias circuit 537 to transistor 233 control end applied inclined Pressure size determines.Therefore, the frequency size of the clock signal CLK of agitator 114 output, also can take The bias size certainly in bias circuit 537, the control end of transistor 233 applied.
If voltage VP persistently falls the time in a preset range, exceed the one of clock signal CLK and make a reservation for The cycle of quantity, then synchronous signal detection device 251 just can determine that outer synchronous signal EXT stops coupling To controlling pin 111.
Such as, in Fig. 6 embodiment, synchronous signal detection device 251 can continue in detecting voltage VP Fall 2 cycles that the time in voltage range Vp1~Vp2 exceedes clock signal CLK time, such as exist During time T8, it is determined that outer synchronous signal EXT has been stopped and has been couple to control pin 111.Now, As shown in sequential chart 600, synchronous signal detection device 251 can leave the observation period, and is cut by agitator 114 Shift to resistance control model.Meanwhile, control signal RCM can be switched to by synchronous signal detection device 251 High potential, stops being biased the control end of transistor 233 controlling bias circuit 537, and turns on Switch 227 in resistance detector 112, makes resistance detector 112 start to detect non-essential resistance 130 Resistance value size, to determine electric current Ir and to control the size of electric current Iosc.
In the embodiment in fig 6, the observation period is entered due to agitator 114 in synchronous signal detection device 251 Time (that is time T7) have started to running, so when synchronous signal detection device 251 leaves the observation period (also I.e. time T8), agitator 114 can be rapidly reached steady state operation so that agitator 114 output time The frequency of arteries and veins signal CLK can be corresponding to the resistance value size of non-essential resistance 130.
As it was previously stated, synchronous signal detection device 251 meeting is when agitator 114 operates in control pattern signal, Control bias circuit 537 and the control end of transistor 233 is applied predetermined bias, until agitator 114 quilt Switch to just stop during resistance control model.Additionally, utilize the bias circuit 537 control to transistor 233 End processed applies the mode of predetermined bias, it is possible to make agitator 114 be switched to resistance control from control pattern signal During molding formula, the frequency of produced clock signal CLK keeps stable, it is to avoid have influence on rear class There is start by mistake in pulse-width regulating device 116.
In the embodiment in fig 6, the bias that the control end of transistor 233 is applied by bias circuit 537, Agitator 114 can be made to be switched to control electric current received during resistance control model at the beginning Iosc, slightly above agitator 114 reach size during steady state operation.In implementation, it is also possible to by bias plasma The bias that the control end of transistor 233 is applied by road 537, is designed so that agitator 114 at the beginning Control electric current Iosc slightly below agitator 114 received when being switched to resistance control model reaches steady Size during state running.
Control circuit 110 about earlier figures 2 is switched to letter at agitator 114 from resistance control model The running explanation of the process of number control model, is also applied for the embodiment of Fig. 5, therefore not repeated description at this. In implementation, synchronous signal detection device 251 can also by agitator 114 from resistance control mode switch to In observation period between control pattern signal, control bias circuit 537 and the control end of transistor 233 is applied The mode of predetermined bias, so that the mistake that agitator 114 is from resistance control mode switch to control pattern signal In journey, the frequency of produced clock signal CLK can keep stable, it is to avoid has influence on the PWM of rear class There is start by mistake in device 116.
In aforesaid explanation, as long as notification signal generator 555 detects certain square wave of voltage VP When the length in cycle is longer than previous square-wave cycle, the signal Tout that will give notice is to synchronous signal detection Device 251.This is an embodiment, rather than the actual embodiment of limitation notification signal generator 555. Such as, notification signal generator 555 can also be in the length of certain square-wave cycle detecting voltage VP Longer than previous square-wave cycle more than a predetermined extent time, such as, plural number longer than previous square-wave cycle times Time, the signal Tout that just gives notice is to synchronous signal detection device 251.Or, notification signal generator 555 The design rule of control circuit 110 can also be exceeded in the length of certain square-wave cycle detecting voltage VP During the receptible limit of lattice, the signal Tout that just gives notice is to synchronous signal detection device 251.
