Description

Current detection circuit and current detection method
Technical Field
The invention relates to a current detection circuit in a switching power supply, in particular to a current detection circuit and a current detection method based on an implementation scheme in a control chip of the switching power supply.
Background
The existing current detection of the switching power supply is divided into off-chip implementation and on-chip implementation. The off-chip implementation means that the control chip is externally connected with a discrete power switch tube, firstly, a discrete resistor is connected in series with the source electrode of the power switch tube, the switch current is converted into voltage on the resistor and transmitted back to the chip, the mode is limited by the loss of the sampling resistor, the improvement of the power efficiency is not facilitated, the peak voltage cannot be selected to be too high, the signal-to-noise ratio of the detection voltage is low, the reliability is easily reduced due to external interference, and the detection resistor is easily burnt out and loses efficacy due to the fact that the detection resistor is subjected to larger power consumption; secondly, the current transformer is connected in series with the drain end of the power tube, so that the current obtained by attenuating the inductance current in a fixed proportion is dropped on a fixed resistor, and a detection voltage is generated and transmitted back to the control chip.
The on-chip implementation means that a power switch tube M20 is integrated in a control chip U1, a detection resistor is designed between a source electrode of the power switch tube M20 and the ground to detect a switching current, and two general methods exist at present, one is that a metal resistor Rm (as shown in fig. 1A) is used as a detection resistor, as shown in fig. 1A, the control chip U1 comprises a detection circuit 10 and a control circuit 20 of the switch tube, the detection circuit 10 samples the current of the metal resistor Rm connected in series with the source electrode of the power switch tube M20, and the switching current is converted into a voltage VCS on the resistor Rm and transmitted back to the control chip U1. Secondly, the internal resistance of the power switch tube M20 (as shown in fig. 1B) is used for detecting resistance when the power switch tube M is turned on, as shown in fig. 1B, the control chip U2 comprises a detection circuit 10 and a control circuit 20 of the switch tube, the detection circuit 10 samples the current of the internal resistance of the power switch tube M20, and the switching current is converted into a voltage VCS on the resistance and is transmitted back to the control chip U2. Therefore, the metal resistor and the internal resistance of the power switch tube working in the linear region can be small, so that the power switch tube has almost no power consumption loss, is high in efficiency, is designed in a chip, isolates the interference of the outside on detection waveforms, saves the areas of package pins and a PCB panel, and still has the defect of large error. In the control chip of the current mainstream switching power supplies such as BUCK, ACDC and the like, a general non-destructive current detection circuit principle is shown in fig. 2, and the current detection transimpedance gain of the mode is as follows:
Figure BDA0001436587130000011
Design time R 1 、R 2 And R is 4 The resistance is larger, and the high square resistance resistor with the same process type can be adopted for drift cancellation; therefore, the detection voltage Vcs is affected by the process drift of the small detection resistor Rs, i.e. the layout matching degree of the power switch tube or the metal resistorThe maximum value of the peak current is easy to deviate from the design value, the error of the detected current is caused, and the maximum peak current is not controllable outside the control chip.
