The different embodiments of circuit for detecting 20 are shown respectively in A and Fig. 3 B, Fig. 3 A and Fig. 3 B referring to figure 3..
As shown in Fig. 3 A and Fig. 3 B, circuit for detecting 20 is produced according to the phase voltage VLX of inductive current IL and phase node LX Raw control signal VCDC relevant to output voltage VO UT and inductive current IL.Its principle are as follows: turn potential circuit CTV using electric current Inductive current IL is converted into the reference voltage VX of direct current, and reference voltage VX be inductive current IL average value and with load shape State is related.

Referring to figure 4., Fig. 4 shows an embodiment of trigger circuit 24 Yu time signal generation circuit 26.
As shown in figure 4, trigger circuit 24 may include delay cell 240 and trigger unit 242.Delay cell 240 distinguishes coupling Connect circuit for detecting 20 and trigger unit 242: trigger unit 242 is respectively coupled to delay cell 240 and time signal generation circuit 26. When delay cell 240 receives the control signal VCDC from circuit for detecting 20, delay cell 240 can postpone one section it is default when Between just by control signal VCDC be supplied to trigger unit 242.When trigger unit 242 is respectively received the comparison from comparator 22 Signal VCMP and delayed unit 240 postpone after control signal VCDC when, trigger unit 242 according to comparison signal VCMP with It controls signal VCDC and provides delayed control signal VTRD to time signal generation circuit 26.When overloaded, comparison signal VCMP meeting It is more intensive, cause the frequency integrally switched that can also increase accordingly.
Time signal generation circuit 26 may include that electric current turns potential circuit 260, comparator 262, switch M, resistance R and capacitor C.When the delayed control signal VTRD provided by the trigger unit 242 is high levle (High-level), switch M can be switched on Generation time signal TON.Specifically, electric current relevant to input voltage VIN can charge to capacitor C, when bearing for comparator 262 When input terminal-received voltage of institute is greater than its positive input terminal+institute received output voltage VO UT, comparator 262 exported when Between signal TON will switch to low level (Low-level).Make comparator 262 when switch M is connected in delayed control signal VTRD When negative input end-received voltage of institute is zero, the time signal TON that comparator 262 is exported will be returned to high levle (High-level)。
Referring to figure 5., the left side of Fig. 5 shows the timing diagram of each signal when overloaded, and the right side of Fig. 5 is then shown gently The timing diagram of each signal when load.
Compare known to left side and the right side of Fig. 5: when overloaded, switching frequency is very fast, the slope of inductive current IL compared with Greatly, the level of predetermined current level ILSEL is lower;At light load, switching frequency is slower, and the slope of inductive current IL is smaller, in advance If the level of current level ILSEL is higher.
Since in trigger circuit 24, control signal VCDC can be delayed by the delay a period of time of unit 240, so that control letter Number VCDC and comparison signal VCMP can simultaneously be high levle (High-level) HL and provide delayed control signal VTRD to when Between signal generating circuit 26.When the switch M in delayed control signal VTRD turn-on time signal generating circuit 26 makes comparator 262 negative input end-received voltage ground of institute and when being zeroed, time signal TON (time signal that comparator 262 is exported TON is synchronized with switching signal UG) high levle VCC can be changed into.In addition, control signal VCDC can end switching signal LG, that is, When control signal VCDC is changed into high levle HL by low level (Low-level) LL, switching signal LG can be turned by high levle VCC Become 0, bridge switch SB is caused to close, is later 0 (that is, during bridge switch SB closing) in switching signal LG and switchs In a period of signal UG is not yet changed into high levle VCC, switch on the bridge SA is flowed through using the negative current on phase node LX and is discharged, Switching signal UG can just be changed into high levle VCC and switch on the bridge SA is connected again, by realize zero voltage switching (Zero Voltage Switching, ZVS) function.
Since payload size will affect the frequency of comparison signal VCMP, then change operating frequency, and inductive current IL Peak to peak (Peak-to-peak) current ripple (ripple) that is, inductive current maximum value IL (MAX) and inductive current minimum value The difference DELTA IL of IL (MIN) is roughly equal by control, so the height of predetermined current level ILSEL can change with payload size Become, such as in Fig. 5, predetermined current level ILSEL at light load can be higher than predetermined current level ILSEL when overloaded.
When inductive current IL is less than dynamic predetermined current level ILSEL, control signal VCDC can be turned by low level LL Become high levle HL;At this point, switching signal LG meeting controlled signal VCDC cut-off, then carries out aforesaid operations and realizes no-voltage The function of switching.
It should be noted that the time point that bridge switch LS is closed is determined according to control signal VCDC;Believe as the time The time point of number TON conversion is determined according to control signal VCDC and comparison signal VCMP, hence it is evident that different from known technology The time point of high levle HL is pulled to by low level LL only in accordance with comparison signal VCMP decision time signal TON.In short, of the invention In zero voltage switching trigger time be determined by control signal VCDC, and using its generate negative current come reach zero electricity The function that crush-cutting changes.
