The present invention provides an AC-to-DC converter. In the AC-to-DC converter composed of a power factor improving circuit and a DC-to-DC converter, the power factor improving circuit is started firstly. Meanwhile, when DC-to-DC converter is operated at a light load, the power factor improving circuit is turned off. In this way, the efficiency is prevented from getting decreased. Therefore, the startup voltage of the power supply of the power factor improving circuit is lower than the startup voltage of the power supply of the DC-to-DC converter, so that the power factor improving circuit is turned on earlier than the DC-to-DC converter. In addition, the light load is detected and then the power factor improving circuit is turned off. As a result, the efficiency is prevented from getting decreased when the load is light. Moreover, when the DC-to-DC converter is not turned on at a specified time, the power factor improving circuit is turned off. Therefore, the unnecessary power consumption can be suppressed.

Embodiment
[embodiment 1]
Fig. 1 shows embodiments of the invention.Rectifier 2 pairs of AC power 1 are utilized to carry out rectification.Boost chopper is made up of reactance coil 3, switch element 4, diode 5, capacitor 6, control circuit 11, and this boost chopper forms power factor correction circuit.Power factor correction circuit makes switch element 4 conduction and cut-off, generates the 1st direct voltage to capacitor 6.Control circuit 11, according to the electric current flow through in the voltage of the capacitor 6 detected by resistance 53 and resistance 54 and the switch element 4 that detected by resistance 52, makes switch element 4 conduction and cut-off.By making switch element 4 conduction and cut-off, be the 1st direct voltage by the voltage control of capacitor 6, and, make the electric current flow through in AC power become sinusoidal wave shape.
Dc-dc is made up of transformer 7, switch element 8, control circuit 12, diode 300, capacitor 21.Make switch element 8 conduction and cut-off, the 1st direct voltage is converted to the 2nd direct voltage, outputs to capacitor 21.The voltage produced in capacitor 21 detected by resistance 304 and resistance 305 is input in control circuit 12 via optical coupler 301,306.In addition, utilize the electric current flow through in resistance 58 sense switch element 8, be entered into control circuit.And then control circuit 12, according to the electric current of the 2nd direct voltage and switch element 8, makes switch element 8 conduction and cut-off.Thus, by capacitor 21 generate Voltage Cortrol be the 2nd voltage.
In addition, transformer 7 has the 3rd winding 7c, and the voltage utilizing diode 201 to produce in the 3rd winding the conduction and cut-off because of switch element 8 carries out rectification, charges to capacitor 107.The voltage of capacitor 107 is connected with the power supply terminal Vcc of control circuit 12, thus provides the driving electric power of control circuit 12.In addition, the voltage of capacitor 107 is connected via the power supply terminal Vcc of transistor 105 with capacitor 111 and control circuit 11, thus provides the driving electric power of control circuit 11.
In addition, constant-current circuit that be connected with capacitor 6, that be made up of transistor 11, resistance 102, resistance 103, Zener diode 104 constitutes when starting the start-up circuit 100 that capacitor 107 charges.
1st embodiment of such formation carries out action as follows.First, be described during startup.
When AC-DC converter is transfused to AC power 1, rectifier 2 is utilized to carry out rectification.The pulsating voltage of rectification charges via reactance coil 3 and diode 5 pairs of capacitors 6, thus is converted to direct voltage.By this direct voltage, with the constant current provided from start-up circuit 100, capacitor 107 is charged.Capacitor 107 is connected with the power supply terminal Vcc of control circuit 12.In addition, via resistance 106 and resistance 109, capacitor 110 is charged.During capacitor 110 is charged, transistor 105 conducting, utilizes the voltage of capacitor 107 to charge to capacitor 111.Capacitor 111 is connected with the power supply terminal Vcc of control circuit 11.
The power supply terminal Vcc of control circuit 11 and control circuit 12 has the lower down detection circuit of input.The lower down detection circuit of input is used for preventing control circuit generation misoperation when the voltage of power supply terminal Vcc is lower, and it is formed as shown in Figure 2.That is, compared by the voltage of comparator 502 couples of power supply terminal Vcc and reference voltage 503, make transistor 501 conduction and cut-off.When the voltage of power supply terminal Vcc is below reference voltage, transistor 501 is ended, and therefore, control circuit is failure to actuate.When the voltage of power supply terminal Vcc exceedes reference voltage, make transistor 501 conducting, be connected with the inside of control circuit, drive circuit.When the voltage of power supply terminal Vcc is greater than reference voltage 503, transistor 501 conducting, control circuit starts action.
In the 1st embodiment of the present invention, under the input of control circuit 12, down detection circuit carries out action under being set to the voltage of down detection circuit under the input higher than control circuit 11.Specifically, about the voltage of the reference voltage 503 of control circuit 12, the voltage that the conducting voltage between the voltage of the reference voltage 503 of Selection radio control circuit 11 and the collector electrode-emitter of transistor 105 is high.Thus, control circuit 11 carries out action with comparatively low supply voltage Vcc, makes power factor correction circuit startup more Zao than dc-dc.
First starting power factor improves circuit, after the boost in voltage of capacitor 6, starts dc-dc.Now, the voltage putting on dc-dc raises, and therefore dc-dc poor starting can not occur.
When dc-dc starts, in the 3rd winding, produce voltage.Utilize diode 201 to carry out rectification to this voltage, capacitor 107 is charged.The voltage of capacitor 107 is connected with the power supply terminal Vcc of control circuit 12, provides the driving electric power of control circuit 12.In addition, the voltage of capacitor 107 is connected via the power supply terminal Vcc of transistor 105 with capacitor 111 and control circuit 11.When switch element 8 ends, via diode 202, resistance 204 and resistance 205 is utilized to split the voltage produced in 3 winding 7c.Now, the voltage produced in resistance 205 is set to the voltage higher than Zener diode 207, and therefore, the voltage produced in resistance 205 charges via Zener diode 207 and resistance 208 pairs of capacitors 210.The voltage of capacitor 210 is utilized to make transistor 211 conducting.After transistor 211 conducting, transistor 105 conducting, therefore, the voltage of capacitor 107 is provided to the power supply terminal Vcc of control circuit 11 as driving electric power.Like this, after dc-dc starts, the voltage produced in 3 winding 7c is utilized to come Drive and Control Circuit 11 and control circuit 12.Now, do not need start-up circuit, the constant-current circuit of start-up circuit therefore can be made to stop.
In addition, in an embodiment of the present invention, having in dc-dc is function light hours power factor correction circuit being stopped.That is, be the light hours in dc-dc, the voltage drop produced in 3 windings when switch element 8 ends.Thus, when voltage lower than Zener diode 207 of the voltage of resistance 205, capacitor 210 does not recharge, and is discharged by resistance 209, therefore, and the voltage drop of capacitor 210.After the voltage drop of capacitor 210, transistor 211 ends, and transistor 105 ends.Therefore, the power supply terminal no longer to control circuit 11 provides electric power, and control circuit 11 stops.That is, be the light hours in dc-dc, power factor correction circuit is stopped.In addition, in the present invention, when switch element 8 ends, utilize the pulse voltage produced in 3 winding 7c to detect the light load of dc-dc, therefore, the impact that the surge voltage produced when switch element 8 conduction and cut-off causes is less.
In addition, in an embodiment of the present invention, there is the function stopping power factor correction circuit when dc-dc is not activated.That is, when starting, when the constant-current circuit of start-up circuit charges to capacitor 107, charge via resistance 106 and resistance 109 pairs of capacitors 110 simultaneously.In common startup, as above-mentioned, when dc-dc starts, transistor 211, via resistance 212, makes the series circuit short circuit of resistance 109 and capacitor 110.Therefore, transistor 105 constant conduction.But when dc-dc is not activated, capacitor 110 proceeds charging, and finally, transistor 105 ends.After transistor 105 ends, the power supply terminal Vcc no longer to control circuit 11 provides electric power, and therefore, control circuit 11 stops, and power factor correction circuit stops.That is, even if when dc-dc can not start or stop because of defencive function action because of fault, also can power factor correction circuit be stopped.The situation not making power factor correction circuit stop when dc-dc is not activated is equivalent to the situation of capacitor 110 short circuit in embodiment, but, the current charges that capacitor 107 is provided by the constant-current circuit from start-up circuit.Power factor correction circuit carries out action at this voltage.Usually, constant-current circuit is set as the electric current less than the current sinking of control circuit, and therefore, after beginning action, the voltage drop of capacitor 107 and capacitor 111, finally, drops to the control circuit voltage that action stops by input lower down detection circuit.So control circuit 11 stops action, and current sinking diminishes, start-up circuit charges to capacitor 107 and capacitor 111 again.Repeatedly carry out these actions.If the function not making power factor correction circuit stop when dc-dc does not carry out action, then no matter whether dc-dc provides output, and power factor correction circuit all repeatedly carries out startup and stops, thus consumes useless electric power.By the function stopping power factor correction circuit when dc-dc is not activated of the present invention, this useless power consumption can be avoided.
AC-DC converter of the present invention, can be set to 1 by start-up circuit, carrys out the control circuit that starting power factor improves circuit and dc-dc.Therefore, when using integrated circuit in control circuit, in any one integrated circuit, there is start-up circuit.Particularly, when there is start-up circuit in the control circuit of dc-dc, also the present invention can be applied.
