Description

Flyback power conversion circuit and conversion control circuit and control method thereof
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a flyback power converter, and more particularly, to a flyback power converter with active clamp. The invention also relates to a conversion control circuit used in the flyback mode and a control method thereof.
Background
Fig. 1 shows a prior art flyback power converter (flyback power converter 1) with active clamping (active clamping), wherein the flyback power converter 1 is used to convert an input Voltage into an output Voltage, and includes an auxiliary switch S2 and an auxiliary capacitor Cr, forming an active clamping branch, which is turned on when the primary switch S1 is turned off, so that the energy stored when the primary switch S1 is turned on and the leakage inductance Lr and the excitation inductance Lm of the primary winding are discharged through the branch and stored in the auxiliary capacitor Cr, and before the primary switch S1 is turned on, the parasitic capacitance Coss of the primary switch S1 is discharged through the energy stored in the auxiliary capacitor Cr, so that the primary switch S1 is turned on and is Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS), please refer to fig. 2A, in the prior art, the switching of the primary switch S1 and the auxiliary switch S2 are substantially opposite in phase.
The prior art shown in fig. 1 has a disadvantage in that the switching of the primary switch S1 and the auxiliary switch S2 are substantially opposite to each other, so the on-time of the auxiliary switch S2 may be too long, which causes a large circulating current (circulating current), further causing power loss.
Fig. 2B is a waveform diagram of another flyback power converter circuit with active clamping (active clamping) in the prior art, which is similar to the prior art shown in fig. 1, except that the auxiliary switch S2 has a conduction time that is not substantially opposite to that of the primary switch S1, and in this embodiment, the auxiliary switch S2 is turned on before the primary switch S1 is turned on, and the conduction time TONA is a fixed conduction time.
The prior art shown in fig. 2B has a disadvantage that, since the on-time TONA of the auxiliary switch S2 is a fixed on-time, under the application of high input voltage VI, the on-time TONA of the auxiliary switch S2 may not be enough to completely discharge the charges in the parasitic capacitance Coss of the primary switch S1, so that the primary switch S1 cannot achieve zero-voltage switching, further resulting in power loss. In addition, in the prior art, when the primary switch S1 is just switched to off, the parasitic diode D2 of the auxiliary switch S2 may be turned on, that is, during the period TOD2 in the figure, the auxiliary capacitor current ICr is turned on by the parasitic diode D2, and due to the reverse recovery charge effect of the parasitic diode D2 of the auxiliary switch S2, that is, the reverse recovery charge (Qrr) effect, the charge actually stored in the auxiliary capacitor Cr becomes small, which may not be enough to make the primary switch S1 be switched to zero voltage when it is turned on; on the other hand, if an auxiliary switch with a smaller Qrr is used, such as but not limited to a GaAs switch, the forward voltage of the parasitic diode is usually larger, and thus additional power loss is caused.
Compared with the prior art shown in fig. 1 and 2, the on-time TONA of the auxiliary switch S2 can be adjusted to ensure that the primary switch S1 can achieve zero-voltage switching, thereby reducing power loss and improving power conversion efficiency, and in addition, the auxiliary switch S2 of the present invention can be turned on within the estimated on-time of the parasitic diode D2, thereby effectively eliminating the Qrr effect or reducing the extra power loss caused by the forward voltage of the parasitic diode D2.

Detailed Description
The drawings in the present disclosure are schematic and are intended to show the coupling relationship between circuits and the relationship between signal waveforms, and the circuits, signal waveforms and frequencies are not drawn to scale.
Referring to fig. 3, there is shown an embodiment of a flyback power converter circuit with active clamping (flyback power converter circuit 3) according to the present invention, in which the flyback power converter circuit 3 includes a transformer 10, a primary-side switch S1, a clamping circuit 20, and a conversion control circuit 30. The transformer 10 includes a primary winding W1 coupled to an input power source, and a secondary winding W2 coupled to an output node OUT, wherein the input power source includes an input voltage VI and an input current IIN. The primary switch S1 is coupled to the primary winding W1 for switching the primary winding W1 to convert the input power, so that the secondary winding W2 generates an output power at an output node OUT to supply the load 40, wherein the output power includes an output voltage VO and an output current IOUT.
With continued reference to fig. 3, the clamping circuit 20 includes an auxiliary switch S2 and an auxiliary capacitor Cr connected in series with the auxiliary switch S2 to form an auxiliary branch, which is connected in parallel with the primary winding W1. The conversion control circuit 30 includes a power switch control circuit 31 and an auxiliary switch control circuit 32, wherein the power switch control circuit 31 is configured to generate a primary side switch control signal S1C according to a primary side feedback or a secondary side feedback manner, and the auxiliary switch control circuit 32 is configured to generate an auxiliary switch control signal S2C for controlling the primary side switch S1 and the auxiliary switch S2, respectively, to convert an input power to generate an output power.
Referring to fig. 3, the auxiliary switch S2 has a parasitic diode D2, wherein the auxiliary switch control circuit 32 controls the auxiliary switch S2 to turn on for a first auxiliary on-time TON2 according to the estimated on-time of the parasitic diode D2 during the primary off-time TOFF1 of the primary switch S1, wherein the first auxiliary on-time TON2 is substantially equal to and overlaps the estimated on-time of the parasitic diode D2, so as to effectively eliminate the Qrr effect of the parasitic diode D2 or reduce the extra power loss caused by the forward voltage of the parasitic diode D2.
It should be noted that: although it is desired that the first auxiliary turn-on time TON2 is exactly equal to and overlaps the estimated turn-on time of the parasitic diode D2, the actual first auxiliary turn-on time TON2 may not exactly equal to and overlap the estimated turn-on time of the parasitic diode D2 due to the inherent error of the circuit components, the matching between the components, or the delay in signal propagation, and thus has an acceptable error, i.e., "substantially", as mentioned above.
Referring to fig. 3, in an embodiment, the auxiliary switch control circuit 32 controls the auxiliary switch S2 to conduct another time during another time period (a second auxiliary conducting time TON 2') when the primary switch S1 is not conducting, so that the energy stored when the leakage inductance Lr and/or the magnetizing inductance Lm of the primary winding W1 is conducting on the primary switch S1 can be discharged through the auxiliary branch and stored in the auxiliary capacitor Cr, and the parasitic capacitance Coss of the primary switch S1 can be discharged by the energy stored in the auxiliary capacitor Cr before the primary switch S1 is conducting, in an embodiment, the conduction of the auxiliary switch S2 can make the primary switch S1 conducting as zero-voltage switching.
In one embodiment, the auxiliary switch control circuit 32 adjusts the on-time TON 2' of the auxiliary switch S2 according to at least one of: a current-dependent signal ISEN, an input voltage VI and an output voltage VO; in an embodiment, according to the adjustment of the above parameters, when the primary-side switch S1 is turned on, the voltage difference (e.g., VDS1 in the figure) between the current input terminal LX and the current output terminal (coupled to the primary-side ground point in the embodiment) is substantially 0, thereby achieving zero-voltage switching; wherein the current-related signal ISEN is related to at least one of: the output current IOUT, the on-current IDS1 of the primary-side switch, and the current IP of the primary-side winding W1; in one embodiment, the current-related signal ISEN can be obtained by sensing the VDS1 of the primary-side switch S1, the on-current IDS1 of the primary-side switch S1, or the voltage across the current-sensing resistor.
Referring to fig. 4, a waveform diagram corresponding to the embodiment of fig. 3 is shown, in which in one embodiment, the first auxiliary on-time TON2 starts immediately after the on-time of the primary switch S1 is over, i.e., the first auxiliary on-time TON2 starts substantially simultaneously with the primary off-time TOFF 1. In one embodiment, the auxiliary switch control circuit 32 controls the auxiliary switch S2 to turn on the second auxiliary on-time TON2 'just before the primary switch S1 turns on, i.e., the second auxiliary on-time TON 2' ends substantially at the same time as the primary off-time. In this embodiment, in the primary-side off-period TOFF1, the first auxiliary on-time TON2 precedes the second auxiliary on-time TON 2'. In addition, in one implementation, a dead time (dead time) Td may be provided between the turning on of the primary-side switch S1 and the first turning on or the second turning on of the auxiliary switch S2 to ensure that the primary-side switch S1 and the auxiliary switch S2 are not turned on simultaneously to cause a short-circuit current.
Referring to fig. 4, in an embodiment, the first auxiliary on-time TON2 and the second auxiliary on-time TON2 'do not overlap, and the auxiliary switch S2 is turned off between the first auxiliary on-time TON2 and the second auxiliary on-time TON 2', so as to reduce the circulating current. Of course, in other embodiments, the first auxiliary on-time TON2 and the second auxiliary on-time TON 2' may also overlap, especially when, for example, but not limited to, the frequency is high, or the primary-side off-time period TOFF1 is short; it is consistent with the spirit of the present invention as long as the first auxiliary on-time TON2 is determined according to the estimated on-time of the parasitic diode D2. In addition, due to the conservation of charge, the estimated on-time duration of the parasitic diode D2 is substantially equal to the second auxiliary on-time TON2 ', and therefore, in an embodiment of the present invention, the auxiliary switch control circuit 32 adjusts the first auxiliary on-time TON2 such that the length of the first auxiliary on-time TON2 is substantially equal to the length of the second auxiliary on-time TON 2', so that the first auxiliary on-time TON2 is substantially equal to and overlaps the estimated on-time duration of the parasitic diode D2, thereby effectively eliminating the Qrr effect of the parasitic diode D2 or reducing the extra power loss caused by the forward voltage of the parasitic diode D2. In addition, in one embodiment, when the current of the auxiliary switch S2 is substantially 0, the auxiliary switch control circuit 32 controls the auxiliary switch S2 to be non-conductive, thereby ensuring that the circulating current is reduced.
Referring still to fig. 4, from another perspective, in a preferred embodiment, after the primary-side switch S1 is turned off, the auxiliary switch control circuit 32 controls the auxiliary switch S2 to turn off after the first auxiliary on-time TON2 and the first auxiliary on-time TON2, then, before the primary switch S1 turns on, the auxiliary switch S2 is controlled to turn on for a second time (corresponding to a second auxiliary on-time TON 2'), and the first auxiliary on-time TON2 is adjusted such that the length of the first auxiliary on-time TON2 is substantially the same as the length of the second auxiliary on-time TON 2', it should be noted that, during the TON2 period, the auxiliary capacitor current ICr is turned on by the auxiliary switch S2, instead of the parasitic diode D2, the Qrr effect of the parasitic diode D2 can be effectively eliminated, or the extra power loss caused by the forward voltage of the parasitic diode D2 can be reduced.
The present invention has been described with respect to the preferred embodiments, but the above description is only for the purpose of making the content of the present invention easy to understand for those skilled in the art, and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. The various embodiments described are not limited to single use, but may be used in combination; for example, the combination of "conducting twice in a primary non-conducting period" and "the first and second auxiliary conducting time" and "controlling the auxiliary switch to be non-conducting when the auxiliary switch current is substantially 0" can be used. Also, various equivalent modifications and various combinations may occur to those skilled in the art, within the same spirit of the invention. For example, the first auxiliary on-time TON2 is adjusted such that the length of the first auxiliary on-time TON2 is substantially the same as the length of the second auxiliary on-time TON2 ', wherein the length of the second auxiliary on-time TON2 ' is not limited to the determination manner in the foregoing embodiments of the present application, and in other embodiments, the second auxiliary on-time may be a fixed on-time as in the prior art, as long as the length of the first auxiliary on-time TON2 is substantially the same as the length of the second auxiliary on-time TON2 ', which is in accordance with the spirit of the present invention. For example, the phrase "performing a process or an operation or generating an output result based on a signal" in the present invention is not limited to the signal itself, and includes, if necessary, performing a voltage-to-current conversion, a current-to-voltage conversion, and/or a ratio conversion on the signal, and then performing a process or an operation based on the converted signal to generate an output result. It is understood that equivalent variations and combinations, not necessarily all illustrated, will occur to those of skill in the art, which combinations are not necessarily intended to be limiting. Accordingly, the scope of the present invention should be determined to encompass all such equivalent variations as described above.
