Description

Current detection circuit of switch circuit and switch circuit
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of power electronics, in particular to a current detection circuit of a switching circuit and the switching circuit.
Background
In a switching circuit, the current of a switching tube is sampled by a sampling resistor, and the current on the switching tube is detected, so that the switching tube is controlled to be turned on and off. Because the switching tube is switched on and off, the voltage at two ends of the sampling resistor is always changed, and the power supply of the current sampling circuit is fixed, but the input voltage of the current sampling circuit is always changed, so that larger common mode noise is caused, and the current sampling is caused to have errors, thereby influencing the control precision of the system. In a switching circuit, a sampling resistor is typically connected in series to each of an input side and an output side for detecting an input/output current. The input and output sampling currents have errors due to unmatched resistors at the input and output sides and other components. And two sets of sampling circuits are needed, so that the system cost is increased, and the system efficiency is reduced due to two sampling resistors.
Taking a four-switch-tube Buck-Boost voltage-boosting circuit as an example, the topology structure of the four-switch-tube Buck-Boost voltage-boosting circuit is shown in fig. 1 (a). The circuit comprises four power switching tubes Q01, Q02, Q03 and Q04, an energy storage inductor L, an input end capacitor C01 and an output end capacitor C02. The switching tube Q01 is connected with the switching tube Q02 in series, the common end of the switching tube Q01 and the switching tube Q02 is a first node SW1, the switching tube Q01 is connected to the input end, the switching tube Q02 is connected to the ground, the input end is connected to the ground through a capacitor C01, the switching tube Q03 is connected with the switching tube Q04 in series, the common end of the switching tube Q03 and the switching tube Q04 is a second node SW2, the switching tube Q03 is connected to the output end, the switching tube Q04 is connected to the ground, the output end is connected to the ground through a capacitor C02, and an inductor L is connected between the first node SW1 and the second node SW 2.
When the input voltage V IN Specific output voltage V O When a certain value is large, the circuit works in a Buck Buck mode, the switching tubes Q01 and Q02 work in a high-frequency switching state, the switching tube Q03 is always on, and the switching tube Q04 is always off; when the input voltage V IN Specific output voltage V O When the value is smaller than a certain value, the circuit works in a Boost mode, the switching tube Q03 and the switching tube Q04 work in a high-frequency switching state, the switching tube Q01 is always on, and the switching tube Q02 is always off; when V is IN And V is equal to O When the circuit is close to the high-frequency switch, the circuit works in a Buck-Boost Buck mode, and the switch tubes Q01, Q02, Q03 and Q04 are all in a high-frequency switch state.
In the prior art, the input end and the output end of a four-switch circuit are respectively connected with sampling resistors R01 and R02, two ends of the sampling resistors are respectively connected with two input ends of a voltage-to-current circuit 101, the voltage-to-current circuit 101 obtains sampling current i1 by detecting the voltage on the sampling resistor R01, the voltage-to-current circuit 101 obtains sampling current i2 by detecting the voltage on the sampling resistor R02, a power supply end VCC of the voltage-to-current circuit 101 is grounded to a fixed voltage, and the ground potential of the voltage-to-current circuit 101 is grounded to the ground potential of the four-switch circuit. Because the resistors R01 and R02 at the input side and the output side are not matched with components of the voltage-to-current circuit 101, errors exist in input and output sampling currents, errors exist in current sampling, and the control precision of the system is affected; two sets of sampling circuits are needed, so that the system cost is increased; two sampling resistors reduce the system efficiency.
Taking a Buck circuit as an example, the topology is shown in fig. 1 (b). The circuit comprises a switching tube Q01, a freewheeling diode D01, an energy storage inductor L, an input end capacitor C01 and an output end capacitor C02. The switch tube Q01 and the freewheeling diode D01 are connected in series, the common end is a switch node SW, the switch tube Q01 is connected to the input end, the freewheeling diode D01 is connected to the ground, the input end is connected to the ground through a capacitor C01, and the switch node SW is connected to the output end Vout through an inductor L and a sampling resistor R01. The reference of the Buck circuit serves as the reference of the voltage to current circuit 101. Although the voltages at the two ends of the sampling resistor R01 are stable relative to the reference, when the circuit is started, the voltage at the output end is zero or very low enough to supply power to the voltage-to-current circuit 101, when the circuit is started, and stable operation is performed, the voltage at the output end supplies power to the voltage-to-current circuit 101, so that the power supply of the voltage-to-current circuit 101 needs to be switched, and two sets of power supply circuits are generally needed for high and low output voltages. The two sets of power supply circuits increase the design complexity, and the components of the two sets of power supply circuits have the problem of mismatch, so that the power supply voltage of the voltage-to-current circuit 101 can jump during switching, and interference is generated to the operation of the voltage-to-current circuit 101.
