In the time of the steady state operation of voltage conversion circuit 100, voltage conversion controller 200 is feedback the current loading between anode VOP and the negative terminal VON of regulating and controlling output, and provides a modulated rated output voltage VOUT in output voltage.So-called modulated person, refer in the time of the variation in specification limit of applications circuit and the each parameter generating of current loading, the negative feedback controlling mechanism that voltage conversion controller 200 all can coordinate applications circuit to be set up with it is reacted, so that output voltage remains on a specified VOUT.
At voltage conversion circuit 100 in the time that unstable state operates; voltage conversion controller 200 fit applications circuit; by carrying out necessary reaction with each assembly and current loading in protection voltage conversion controller 200, application circuit, application circuit is avoided and cause assembly damage or other misoperation because of the situation of overvoltage or overcurrent.Locking that the reaction of common unstable state operation comprises soft start, input voltage is not enough, the too high protection of output voltage, output overcurrent protection etc.Embodiments of the invention are the steady state operation with voltage conversion circuit 100, and the unstable state operation of soft start, output overcurrent protection carries out the explanation of technical characterictic, are hereby described as follows.
When voltage conversion circuit 100 is during in steady state operation, output voltage is a ripple wave shape, and the average voltage of described ripple wave shape is rated output voltage VOUT.The examination explanation cycle behavior of described ripple wave shape and the adjusting of voltage conversion controller 200 action are as follows.
Cycle at the beginning, the internal oscillator 213 of voltage conversion controller 200 is exported pulse wave, produce signal " 1 " to trigger the set input of pulse-width modulation latch unit 212 in the output that triggers pulse-width modulation latch unit 212, now the control end of 211 driving power switches 171 of power switch driving stage with open power switch 171, and form a current circuit and storage power on first siding ring 113.Now described transformer does not provide electric current in described output, therefore the required electric charge of current loading on output is to come from output electric capacity of voltage regulation 133, therefore described output voltage is linear declines.And due to the electric current on first siding ring 113, that is electric current on power switch 171 continues to rise, therefore the voltage signal VCS on induced current voltage pin 220 also continues to rise, until VCS is greater than the magnitude of voltage of feedbacking on end stitch 240, these frequency width modulation comparator 214 output signals " 1 " are to the replacement input of pulse-width modulation latch unit 212 and produce signal " 0 " in the output of pulse-width modulation latch unit 212, and therefore power switch driving stage 211 closes power switch 171.Storage power on first siding ring 113 is by the transformer device forming with second siding ring 131, is released into second siding ring 131 and forms an electric current on it, and use and provide electric current to give load current and output electric capacity of voltage regulation 133 is charged.Now described output voltage is linear rises, until internal oscillator 213 produces next pulse wave, and opens power switch 171.Therefore voltage conversion circuit 100 periodically operates.
And the current value of working as load current increases, because temporarily cannot providing enough electric currents, voltage conversion circuit 100 gives load current, thus provide required additional charge by output electric capacity of voltage regulation 133, thereby cause output voltage to decline.When now the dividing potential drop VFB of output voltage is less than the reference voltage of three-terminal shunt regulator 138, the output plus terminal of three ends Yin depressors 138 in parallel with export not conducting between negative terminal, that is an electric current and not luminous is not had in the output of light-emitting diode 137.151 of optical sensing subassemblies do not detect light source, thereby on it, also do not have an electric current.And in the time of steady state operation, the first current switch 242 switch conductions, the switch cut-off of the second current switch 243.In the time that optical sensing subassembly 151 is not had electric current, the first electric current assembly 241 provides an electric current to charge to back coupling electric capacity 152, the magnitude of voltage of feedbacking on end stitch 240 rises, and cause in the time that first siding ring 113 carries out storage power, the upper current limit of its operation improves, and also can store more energy, thereby in the time that second cycle is released into second siding ring 131, can provide a larger electric current to provide output unit 130 required, and output voltage is regulated, to reply its rated voltage VOUT.
Anti-, when the current value of load current reduces, because providing multiple current, voltage conversion circuit 100 gave output, and unnecessary electric current charges to output electric capacity of voltage regulation 133, and causes output voltage to rise.When now the dividing potential drop VFB of output voltage is greater than the reference voltage of three ends Yin depressors 138 in parallel, the output plus terminal of three ends Yin depressors 138 in parallel with export conducting between negative terminal, that is light-emitting diode 137 forms electric current and luminous.Optical sensing subassembly 151 detects light source, thereby forms electric current on it, and causes back coupling electric capacity 152 to discharge.The magnitude of voltage of feedbacking on end stitch 240 declines, that is in the time that first siding ring 113 carries out storage power, the upper current limit of its operation declines, that is store less energy, thereby in the time that being released into second siding ring 131, provide a less electric current to give output unit 130 in second cycle, by this output voltage is regulated, to reply its rated voltage VOUT.Change caused transient behavior by above load current, can be observed the negative feedback controlling mechanism that voltage conversion controller 200 utilizes itself and application circuit to set up, can make corresponding operation, and output voltage is regulated, so that output voltage remains on a specified voltage VOUT.Or the now state in a steady state operation of title voltage conversion circuit 100.In addition, from aforesaid operations, the magnitude of voltage of feedbacking on end stitch 240 is linear relevant to the size of current of described load current, this characteristic that electric pressure converter of a Controlled in Current Mode and Based (current-mode control) has.But in other electric pressure converter configuration, for example, in the electric pressure converter of a voltage mode control (voltage-mode control), the magnitude of voltage of feedbacking on end stitch 240 is linear relevant to output voltage size, the technical characterictic that this has disclosed for prior art, does not separately repeat at this.
And in the time that described voltage conversion controller 200 has just started to start, the steady state operation of output voltage is not yet set up, that is the state of voltage conversion circuit 100 in a unstable state operation.Now described voltage conversion controller 200 carries out soft start operation, and sets up the steady state operation of output voltage, so that voltage conversion circuit 100 reaches the state of steady state operation.When soft start operation can avoid circuit just to start to start effectively, in circuit, each assembly operation reduces its useful life in limit situation, and the surging producing in power-supply unit 110 can reduce circuit start time.The time that soft start operation allows is longer, its protection effect that can reach better, but the circuit start time must consider the system specification in application and conventionally have a maximum restriction, thereby form the choice on designing.The soft start operation of voltage conversion controller 200 illustrates the oscillogram that coordinates Fig. 3.
Fig. 3 is voltage conversion controller 200 while carrying out soft start operation, the voltage waveform view of each main end points.Wherein 310 is output voltage waveforms, 320 is the output waveform of oscillating controller 255, 330 hold the voltage waveform on stitch 240 for feedbacking, 331 is one first comparing voltage value of oscillating controller 255, 332 is one second comparing voltage value of oscillating controller 255, 340 output waveforms that are limited Current Control level 215, 341 magnitudes of voltage that are limited Current Control level 215 equivalent threshold currents under steady state operation at voltage conversion circuit 100, 350 is the voltage waveform on induced current voltage pin 220, it is the voltage waveform of VCS, 360 is the region of 340 and 350 local waveform amplification shown in Fig. 4.
As shown in Figure 3, due to the output of oscillating controller 255 be control open the first current switch 242 and the second current switch 243 both one, and in the time that voltage conversion controller 200 starts at the beginning, the voltage of feedbacking on end stitch 240 is less than the first comparing voltage value 331, therefore the first current switch 242 is unlocked, the first electric current assembly 241 provides an electric current to flow into the end points of back coupling end stitch 240, again because output voltage is not set up, reacting to optical sensing subassembly 151 is that it does not have an electric current, therefore the electric current that the first electric current assembly 241 provides charges to back coupling electric capacity 152, the voltage of therefore feedbacking on end stitch 240 continues to rise, until be greater than the first comparing voltage value 331, the now output of oscillating controller 255 changes, the first current switch 242 switch cut-offs, and the second current switch 243 switch conductions.Now the second electric current assembly 244 provides the end points that an outflow of bus current is feedback end stitch 240, cause back coupling electric capacity 152 to discharge, the voltage of therefore feedbacking on end stitch 240 starts continuous decrease, until be less than the second comparing voltage value 332, the now output of oscillating controller 255 changes, the first current switch 242 switch conductions, and the second current switch 243 switch cut-offs, and the voltage of feedbacking on end stitch 240 starts to continue to rise, finally form the periodic waveform part as shown in 330.And the output of oscillating controller 255 also forms the periodic waveform part as shown in 320.In addition, the large I in described cycle is directly decided by the capacitance of back coupling electric capacity 152.
Further illustrate, oscillating controller 255, the first electric current assembly 241, the first current switch 242, the second current switch 243 and the second electric current assembly 244 be combined to form a charge-discharge circuit 280, as shown in Figure 2.Described charge-discharge circuit 280 is in the time of the second pattern, described back coupling electric capacity 152 is is periodically discharged and recharged, to form aforesaid periodic waveform.When wherein oscillating controller 255 rises to the first comparing voltage value 331 and drops to the second comparing voltage value 332 respectively at the voltage of back coupling electric capacity 152, change the outputting level of oscillating controller 255.
As shown in Figure 3; under soft start operation, the output of threshold currents controlled stage 215 is not the magnitude of voltage as shown in 341 at the beginning, but in the mode of segment increasing; carry out the threshold currents size of setting power switch 171, to reach the protective circuit assembly of soft start and to reduce the object of circuit surging.Figure 4 shows that the region 360 of 340 and 350 local waveform amplification in Fig. 3.In the time that internal oscillator 213 sends pulse wave with unlatching power switch 171, the now voltage waveform 350 on induced current voltage pin 220, be VCS, it is the waveform that a straight line rises, until be greater than the value that threshold currents controlled stage 215 sets, that is 340 in figure, make pulse-width modulation comparator 214 export " 1 ", and close described power switch 171, until internal oscillator 213 sends pulse wave next time.Therefore formed the periodicity signal as the VCS in figure.
