Positive and negative voltage conversion direct-current power supply and control method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of power electronics, and particularly relates to a positive and negative voltage conversion direct-current power supply and a control method thereof.
Background
The statements in this section merely provide background information related to the present disclosure and may not necessarily constitute prior art.
In a single power supply or battery powered device, a board or a module having an analog signal (such as ac voltage, current, etc.) acquisition and processing unit often needs to be powered by positive and negative dual power supplies, and the ripple voltage of the power supply is required to be small enough to meet the requirement of the circuit on the precision. In the switching power supply conversion, the output ripple voltage of the switching power supply conversion is calculated by the following method:
Vripple=Iripple*ESR (1)
in the formula: vrippleTo output a ripple voltage; i isrippleIs the ripple current on the output capacitor; ESR is the equivalent series resistance across the output capacitor. Typically, the peak-to-peak ripple current on the output inductor is designed to be 0.2 times the rated output current. For the Buck topology, the ripple current on the output capacitor is the alternating current component on the output inductor; in the Buck-Boost topology, the ripple current on the output capacitor is the output load current of +2 times of the alternating current component on the output inductor. As can be seen from the combination formula (1), the output ripple voltage of the latter is about 10 times that of the former at the rated output. The output ripple voltage of the negative supply obviously does not meet the requirements without further filtering measures.
To achieve a lower ripple voltage for the negative power supply, the following two schemes are generally adopted: the first scheme is as follows: and adding a stage of LC filtering. This solution, in addition to adding additional components, leads to an increase in complexity, board area and cost, and also brings about a deterioration in the following criteria. If the closed loop voltage feedback point is not changed, the added filter inductance will cause the output impedance to increase, thereby causing the load regulation rate and transient response to be poor. If the feedback point of the closed-loop voltage moves backwards, a first-stage phase shift is additionally added in the closed-loop feedback link, so that the phase margin is reduced, the stability of the loop is poor, and the output oscillation is easily caused. Scheme II: a linear power regulator is additionally arranged. The most obvious disadvantage of the scheme is that the loss of the linear power regulator is in direct proportion to the product of the voltage drop and the output current of the linear power regulator, so that the overall conversion efficiency is greatly reduced, the heat productivity is obviously improved, and even a large area of radiating fins need to be additionally added when the load is large.
The inventor finds that, in the prior art, the load regulation rate and the load dynamic response or the loop sacrifice stability are sacrificed; above-mentioned current scheme two has sacrificed efficiency, has increased calorific capacity, needs additionally to solve the heat dissipation problem. In addition, both solution one and solution two will increase complexity, board area and cost.

In specific implementation, as shown in fig. 1, the input decoupling unit is formed by an inductor L1 and is used for decoupling other capacitors C on the board cardinThe influence on the circuit does not contribute to the switching ripple current of the circuit, so that the circuit is prevented from entering a Buck-Boost mode; the input bypass unit is composed of a capacitor C1 and is used for providing switching current required by conversion, and the switching current and the L1 work together to enable the input current to be approximate to direct current; the PWM chopping unit is composed of a controller U1, a switching tube Q1 and a freewheeling diode D1 and is used for generating PWM switching chopping signals.

The first power switch tube and the second power switch tube can be realized by MOS tubes.
Taking the dc power supply with positive and negative voltage conversion shown in fig. 1 as an example, the working principle is as follows:
1. input current IinOutput current IoutAre all direct current according to energy conservation, Iin=(Vout/Vin)*IoutThe peak-to-peak current value at inductor L2 is Δ I ═ 0.2 × IoutThe direction of current flow for capacitors C1 and C2 is defined as flowing in as "+" and flowing out as "-".
2. Switching on instant of the switching tube Q1: diode D1 changes from on to off; the current of the inductor L2 is at a minimum value Iin+IoutΔ I/2 and switch from D1 to Q1; input current I flowing through inductor L1inSize is unchanged, but is switched from inflow C1 to inflow switching tube Q1; the current of the capacitor C1 flows from the inlet IinSwitching to outflow Iout- Δ I/2; the current on the capacitor C2 is constant and has a value of delta I/2, and flows out of the capacitor; the output current is unchanged. The switched current paths and directions are shown by the bold lines in fig. 2.
3. Switching tube Q1 on period: diode D1 remains off; the voltage drop across the inductor L2 is VinHigh and low, the current increases linearly at a rate di/dt ═ Vin/L2 from Iin+IoutIncrease of- Δ I/2 to Iin+Iout+ Δ I/2; the current of the inductor L1 increases slightly and can be regarded as constant; the voltage of the capacitor C1 is slightly reduced and can be regarded as constant, and the current change follows the current change of the inductor L2 from IoutIncrease in- Δ I/2 to Iout+ Δ I/2; the voltage of the capacitor C2 is slightly increased and can be regarded as constant, the current change also follows the current change of the inductor L2, the current is firstly reduced to 0 from the outflow delta I/2, and then the inflow is increased to delta I/2 from 0; the output current is slightly increased and can be regarded as unchanged.
4. Turning-off instant of the switching tube Q1: diode D1 changes from off to on; the current of the inductor L2 is at a maximum value Iin+Iout+ Δ I/2, and switch from Q1 to D1; input current I flowing through inductor L1inSize is unchanged, but the switch from the inflow switching tube Q1 to the inflow C1; the current of the capacitor C1 flows from the current Iout+ Δ I/2 switch to inflow Iin(ii) a The current on the capacitor C2 is constant and has a value of delta I/2, and flows into the capacitor; the output current is unchanged. The switched current paths and directions are shown by the thick lines in fig. 3:
5. during the off period of the switching tube Q1: diode D1 remains on and current flows from Iin+IoutReduction of + Δ I/2 to Iin+Iout- Δ I/2; the voltage drop across the inductor L2 is VoutLeft low and right high, the current decreases linearly at a rate di/dt ═ Vout/L2 from Iin+IoutReduction of + Δ I/2 to Iin+Iout- Δ I/2; current I of inductor L1inSlightly decreased, can be regarded as unchanged; the voltage of the capacitor C1 is slightly increased and can be regarded as constant, and the current I isinSlightly reduced, and can be regarded as unchanged; the voltage of the capacitor C2 is slightly reduced and can be regarded as constant, the current change also follows the current change of the inductor L2, the current is firstly reduced to 0 from the inflow delta I/2, and then the outflow is increased to delta I/2 from 0; the output current is slightly reduced and can be regarded as unchanged.
In the whole operation process, the current waveforms of the elements are as shown in fig. 4, and only a small ripple current exists on the output capacitor C2, and the peak-to-peak value is Δ I, which is the same as the current ripple component on the inductor L2. Reference formula Vripple=IrippleESR type medium VrippleTo output a ripple voltage; i isrippleIs the ripple current on the output capacitor; ESR is the equivalent series resistance across the output capacitor. Taking an example that the output rated current is 1A and the ESR of the capacitor C2 is 50m Ω, the peak-to-peak value of the output ripple voltage is only 10 mV. And the peak-to-peak value of the output ripple voltage of the Buck-Boost topology with the same specification and without the addition of secondary filtering reaches 105 mV.
