As a first embodiment of the present invention:
if the voltage provided by the first power source is equal to the voltage provided by the second power source, the first transistor switch module 10 and the second transistor switch module 20 respectively include a transistor. Namely, it is
The first transistor switch module 10 includes a fifth transistor switch M5, a drain of the fifth transistor switch M5 is coupled to the first power input terminal V1, a source of the fifth transistor switch M5 is coupled to the system output terminal Vo1, and a gate of the fifth transistor switch M5 is coupled to the first control terminal Drv 1; the first control terminal Drv1 is capable of outputting a first driving signal to the fifth transistor M5, for controlling the on/off of the fifth transistor M5, so as to control the first power supply to provide a voltage to the system output Vo 1;
the second transistor switch module 20 includes a sixth transistor switch M6, a drain of the sixth transistor switch M6 is coupled to the second power input terminal V2, a source of the sixth transistor switch M6 is coupled to the system output terminal Vo1, and a gate of the sixth transistor switch M6 is coupled to the second control terminal Drv 2; the second control terminal Drv2 can output a second driving signal to the sixth transistor M6 for controlling the sixth transistor M6 to be turned on or off, so as to control the second power source to provide a voltage to the system output Vo 1.
In this embodiment, the first power input terminal V1 is coupled to one end of a first input capacitor Cv1, and the other end of the first input capacitor Cv1 is grounded; the second power input terminal V2 is coupled to one end of a second input capacitor Cv2, and the other end of the second input capacitor Cv2 is grounded.
In use of the first embodiment of the present invention, the system output Vo1 is coupled to the load terminal Vo2, a connection point of the system output Vo1 and the load terminal Vo2 is coupled to one end of the second output capacitor CVo2, and the other end of the second output capacitor CVo2 is grounded. The system output Vo1 is further coupled to the first output capacitor CVo1, although the first output capacitor CVo1 may not be connected. It should be noted that the capacitance of the second output capacitor CVo2 is greater than the capacitance of the first output capacitor CVo 1.
For the first embodiment of the present invention, the voltage provided by the first power supply and the voltage provided by the second power supply are equal, and the dual-power Balance controller 30 generates a first driving signal and a second driving signal according to a Balance control signal Balance, where the first driving signal is used to control the fifth transistor M5 to be turned on or off, and the second driving signal is used to control the sixth transistor M6 to be turned on or off; the Balance control signal Balance may be a frequency signal generated inside the dual power Balance controller 30, or may be an external adjustable frequency signal, and is used to control the switching frequency of the first driving signal and the second driving signal.
Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a waveform diagram of an output of the dual power supply system with current balancing shown in fig. 2. When the Balance control signal Balance is at a low level, the first driving signal output by the first control terminal Drv1 is at a high level, and the second driving signal output by the second control terminal Drv2 is at a low level, so that the fifth transistor switch M5 is driven to be turned on by the first driving signal at the high level, and the sixth transistor switch M6 is controlled to be turned off by the second driving signal at the low level, so that the first power supply supplies power to the load. Conversely, when the Balance control signal Balance is at a high level, the first driving signal output by the first control terminal Drv1 is at a low level, and the second driving signal output by the second control terminal Drv2 is at a high level, so that the fifth transistor M5 is controlled by the first driving signal at the low level to be turned off, the sixth transistor M6 is controlled by the second driving signal at the high level to be turned on, and the load is supplied by the second power source. Therefore, the phases of the first driving signal and the second driving signal are opposite, so that the fifth transistor switch M5 and the sixth transistor switch M6 are turned on alternately in the time domain. Of course, the output waveform diagram is not limited to this, and the first driving signal may be at a high level and the second driving signal may be at a low level when the Balance control signal Balance is provided.
Because the frequency of the Balance control signal Balance can reach 10 KHz-100 KHz, and the high switching frequency ensures that the conducting time of the fifth transistor switch tube M5 and the sixth transistor switch tube M6 in the conducting period is very short, the first input capacitor Cv1 and the second input capacitor Cv2 can provide stable power supply voltage for the load; assuming that the input current of the load is 10A, the frequency of the Balance control signal Balance is 50KHz, and the duty ratios of the fifth transistor switch M5 and the sixth transistor switch M6 are both 1:1, the average current of the first current provided by the first power supply is about 5A, and the average current of the second current provided by the second power supply is about 5A. That is, in the dual power supply system, the first current provided when the first transistor switch module 10 is turned on and the second current provided when the second transistor switch module 20 is turned on are balanced by high frequency switching in the present embodiment. In addition, compared with the conventional technology, the number of Buck drivers, transistors and inductors in the dual-power balance controller 30 is reduced, and the requirement of the dual-power balance controller on the impedance of the transistors is not high, so that the cost is greatly saved.
It should be noted that the duty ratios of the fifth transistor M5 and the sixth transistor M6 are not limited to 1:1, and it is only necessary to satisfy that the sum of the on-time of the fifth transistor M5 and the on-time of the sixth transistor M6 in one period is equal to the on-time required by the load.
As a second embodiment of the present invention:
in the second embodiment of the present invention, the voltage provided by the first power source is not equal to the voltage provided by the second power source, and the first transistor switch module 10 and the second transistor switch module 20 respectively include two transistor switches connected in series. That is, the first transistor switch module 10 includes a first transistor switch M1 and a third transistor switch M3, the source of the first transistor switch M1 is coupled to the first power input terminal V1, the drain of the first transistor switch M1 is coupled to the drain of the third transistor switch M3, the source of the third transistor switch M3 is coupled to the system output terminal Vo1, and the gate of the first transistor switch M1 and the gate of the third transistor switch M3 are both coupled to the first control terminal Drv 1;
the second transistor switch module 20 includes a second transistor switch M2 and a fourth transistor switch M4, a source of the second transistor switch M2 is coupled to the second power input terminal V2, a drain of the second transistor switch M2 is coupled to a drain of the fourth transistor switch M4, a source of the fourth transistor switch M4 is coupled to the system output terminal Vo1, and gates of the second transistor switch M2 and the fourth transistor switch M4 are coupled to the second control terminal Drv 2.
In this embodiment, the first power input terminal V1 is coupled to one end of a first input capacitor Cv1, and the other end of the first input capacitor Cv1 is grounded; the second power input terminal V2 is coupled to one end of a second input capacitor Cv2, and the other end of the second input capacitor Cv2 is grounded.
In the second embodiment of the present invention, in use, the system output Vo1 is coupled to one end of an inductor L, the other end of the inductor L is coupled to the load terminal Vo2, a connection point of the inductor L and the load terminal Vo2 is coupled to one end of a second output capacitor CVo2, and the other end of the second output capacitor CVo2 is grounded. The system output Vo1 is coupled to the first output capacitor CVo1, although the first output capacitor CVo1 may not be connected. It should be explained that the inductor L has a characteristic that the inductor current cannot change abruptly, so that a stable power supply voltage can be provided to the load terminal Vo 2; the capacitance range of the first output capacitor Cvo1 is 1 uF-4.7 uF, the first output capacitor Cvo1 can provide current follow current for the inductor L during balanced switching, and the first transistor switch module 10 and the second transistor switch module 20 cannot generate the situation of current backflow after balanced switching due to the fact that the capacitance value of the capacitor is small.
Referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 is a waveform diagram of an output of the dual power supply system with current balancing shown in fig. 4. For example, but not limiting of, assume that the voltage (13V) provided by the first power supply is greater than the voltage (11V) provided by the second power supply. When the Balance control signal Balance is at a low level, the first driving signal output by the first control terminal Drv1 is at a high level, the second driving signal output by the second control terminal Drv2 is at a low level, so that the first driving signal at the high level controls the first transistor switch M1 and the third transistor switch M3 to be turned on, the second driving signal at the low level controls the second transistor switch M2 and the fourth transistor switch M4 to be turned off, the first power supply charges the first output capacitor CVo1, the voltage at the system output terminal Vo1 is quickly charged to be approximately equal to the voltage (13V) of the first power supply, and the inductor current gradually rises; when the Balance control signal Balance is at a high level, the first driving signal outputted by the first control terminal Drv1 is at a low level, the second driving signal outputted by the second control terminal Drv2 is at a high level, so that the first driving signal at the low level controls the first transistor switch M1 and the third transistor switch M3 to be turned off, the second driving signal at the high level controls the second transistor switch M2 and the fourth transistor switch M4 to be turned on, the first output capacitor CVo1 is discharged, the voltage at the system output terminal Vo1 is quickly discharged to be approximately equal to the voltage (11V) of the second power supply, and the inductor current gradually decreases. The inductor L and the second output capacitor CVo2 form a filter, so the output voltage of the load terminal Vo2 is about the average (12V) of the voltage of the first power source and the voltage of the second power source. In this embodiment, the first current I1 provided when the first transistor switch module 10 is turned on and the second current I2 provided when the second transistor switch module 20 is turned on are balanced in the dual power supply system by switching the high frequency.
The embodiment not only reduces the number of Buck drivers, transistors and inductors, saves cost, but also avoids the phenomenon of current back-flow even if larger voltage difference exists between different power supplies.
In the above embodiments, the type of the transistor switch is not limited to the embodiments described in the specification, and may be a transistor type known to those skilled in the art, such as an N-type metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (NMOS), a P-type metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (PMOS), a Bipolar Junction Transistor (BJT), an insulated gate transistor (IGBT), and the like.
Referring to fig. 6, fig. 6 is a circuit diagram of a dual power balance controller according to a preferred embodiment. Here, the transistor switch is an N-type metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (NMOS) as an example. The dual-power balance controller 30 includes a balance logic unit 301, a level shift unit 302, a logic driving unit 303, and a charge pump 304.
The Balance logic unit 301 is configured to receive a Balance control signal Balance, and generate a potential shift control signal CTRL according to the Balance control signal Balance, where the Balance control signal Balance may also be set inside the chip. Since the first transistor M1, the second transistor M2, the third transistor M3 and the fourth transistor M4 are N-type metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (NMOS), the voltage of the first driving signal or the second driving signal must be higher than the voltage of the system output Vo1 when the first transistor M1, the second transistor M2, the third transistor M3 and the fourth transistor M4 are turned on (the voltage difference needs to be more than 4V to obtain a smaller impedance). The charge pump 304 provides a power voltage higher than the voltage (4V) of the system output Vo1, which can completely turn on the first transistor M1 and the third transistor M3 (or the second transistor M2 and the fourth transistor M4). The level shift unit 302 converts the low operating voltage of the Balance control signal Balance into the high operating voltage of the charge pump 304 according to the level shift control signal CTRL, and outputs a first driving signal through the first control terminal Drv1 of the logic driving unit 303 and a second driving signal through the second control terminal Drv2, thereby controlling the switching between the first transistor switch module 10 and the first transistor switch module 10. When the transistor switch is a P-type metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (PMOS), the level shifting unit 302 and the charge pump 304 can be omitted.
The dual power balance controller 30 may further include a detection unit, and when it is detected that the load is in a light load state, a control signal is generated to turn on any one of the first transistor switch module 10 and the second transistor switch module 20, and turn off the other one until the light load state is removed, so as to achieve the purpose of saving energy in light load.
In summary, the present invention balances the currents of the two power supply modules at a high switching frequency through a simple control circuit design and a small number of transistors, inductors, etc., to provide a stable voltage for a high power load, which not only saves the cost, but also does not generate the current back-flow phenomenon even if a large voltage difference exists between different power supplies, does not affect the normal use thereof, and also realizes the energy saving effect at light load.
Finally, it should be noted that: the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, and not to limit the same; while the invention has been described in detail and with reference to the foregoing embodiments, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that: the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments may still be modified, or some or all of the technical features may be equivalently replaced; and the modifications or the substitutions do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions depart from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
