Specific embodiment
As shown in Figures 2 and 3, theoretical foundation of the invention is two work(after dc-dc enters PFM mode of operations Rate pipe can be turned in turn, and it is a definite value that power tube is turned on each time in turn to the quantity of electric charge of outfan injection, and the definite value is with outer Put inductance inductance value, export related to input voltage difference, and it is unrelated with the size of load current.Therefore, it is interior in a period of time, work( The number of times of rate pipe conducting is directly directly proportional with the size of load current.Load is bigger, and the number of times of conducting is then more;Conversely, conducting Number of times it is then fewer.Then, by the number of PFM pulses in statistics a period of time, then for output and input voltage difference Change is modified, and can obtain the information of dc-dc load.
As shown in figure 1, the present invention includes PFM control modules, pulse counter module, clock source module, timing module and inspection Survey processing module.PFM control modules control dc-dc enters PFM mode of operations, to improve dc-dc underloading work The energy conversion efficiency of work.This module in the control circuit of most dc-dcs already equipped with, it is not necessary to because of zero load Detect and additionally add.Pulse counter module is used for the number for counting the pulse signal pulse that PFM control modules are sent out, and reaches Count_out export after number as 1 to being set.Clock source module, produces clock signal clock, and its cycle is with exporting and being input into The difference of voltage is inversely proportional to, for correcting aforementioned quantity of electric charge definite value with output and the negative correlation of input voltage difference.Timing mould Block carries out timing by reference clock of clock, and it is 1 that time_out is exported after reaching setting time section.It is known that the time period Length can be inversely proportional to output and the difference of input voltage.Detection process module, understands in time_out when 0 is changed into 1, Whether detection count_out is 0, then after being filtered to testing result and waiting and process, judges that the load of dc-dc is electric Whether stream is less than certain thresholding.
As shown in Figures 2 and 3, PFM control modules include hysteresis comparator, pulse period control circuit and peak value current limliting control Circuit processed.Wherein, hysteresis comparator is compared output voltage vout and reference voltage vref, so as to determine when open and PFM pulse trains are closed, the amount of hysteresis △ V of comparator determines the ripple of output voltage under PFM patterns.Pulse period control circuit For setting time interval T between the pulse of each two PFM.Peak value current-limiting control circuit, sets inductance electricity in each PFM pulse The upper limit of stream is Ilimit, once inductive current reaches the upper limit, then close N power tubes, open P power tubes.When P power tubes are turned on Between in △ t, inductive current is from Ilimit0 is dropped to, the average current in the time is Ilimit/2.Then, according to formulaCan obtainMeanwhile, can derive that each PFM pulse is injected to outfan The quantity of electric charge beUnder PFM mode of operations, for a certain load current I0, it is N number of The corresponding time span of PFM pulses is t0, then have Δ QN=I0t0.According to derivation above, can obtain,Wherein, current limit by inductance value IlimitHave determined that in circuit design with inductance value L.For setting Fixed I0And N, corresponding t0It is inversely proportional to output and input voltage difference vout-vin.
During unloaded detection, a time period t being inversely proportional to output and input voltage difference vout-vin can be set0, Then whether N is less than according to the number of PFM pulses in the time period, whether judges the unloaded generation of dc-dc.Therefore, Need to design the clock signal that a cycle is inversely proportional to output and input voltage difference.
As shown in figure 4, clock source module of the present invention realizes vibration, charging current I by electric capacity C discharge and recharges1And The size of electric capacity C determines the cycle T of clock signal clock0.Obviously, the expression in cycle can be obtained through simple derivation Formula isIn embodiment, due to the clamper of amplifier AMP so that the voltage of A points is equal to vin.Thus it is possible to ArriveAndThe clock cycle is inversely proportional to output and input voltage difference.
The clock number for making timing module statistics is Nt, then t0=NtT0.In conjunction with the formula of above-mentioned derivationCan obtainTherefore, as long as in unloaded inspection In the design process of examining system, the parameter index of each module meets equationPFM pulses can be caused Number N corresponds exactly to load current I0, and it is unrelated with output and input voltage difference.
As shown in figure 5, pulse counter module and timing module can be realized with the enumerator that d type flip flop is constituted, count value Difference N and Nt.In detection process module, with output signal time_out of timing module to control clock, captured with d type flip flop Output signal count_out of pulse counter module, obtains preliminary result result signal, then carries out at digital filtering Reason, obtains final testing result no load signals.
Essence and spirit of the those skilled in the art without departing from the present invention, can have various deformation scheme to realize the present invention, Preferably feasible embodiment of the invention is the foregoing is only, not thereby limits to the interest field of the present invention, it is all with this The equivalent structure change made by description of the invention and accompanying drawing content, is both contained within the interest field of the present invention.
