The specific circuit design and the resulting technical effects of the voltage detection and processing circuit 10 of the present application are described in detail below in conjunction with the specific embodiments shown in fig. 1-7.
Example 1
Referring to fig. 1, the present embodiment proposes a voltage detection and processing circuit 10 for a switching power supply circuit, where the switching power supply circuit has a transistor M1, the voltage detection and processing circuit 10 is connected to a drain of the transistor, the voltage detection and processing circuit includes an output voltage acquisition unit 13 and a processing unit 14, the output voltage acquisition unit 13 includes a first receiving end a, a second receiving end B, and an output end C, the first receiving end a is used for receiving a first correlation signal, the first correlation signal is used for characterizing a negative terminal voltage of the switching power supply circuit, the second receiving end B is used for receiving a second correlation signal, the second correlation signal is used for characterizing a positive terminal voltage of the switching power supply circuit, the output voltage acquisition unit 13 is used for acquiring a third correlation signal based on the first correlation signal and the second correlation signal, and the output end C is used for outputting the third correlation signal, and the third correlation signal is used for characterizing an output voltage of the switching power supply circuit; the processing unit 14 is configured to determine whether the switching power supply circuit fails based on the third correlation signal, and trigger a protection signal when the switching power supply circuit fails.
The difference from the prior art is that, in the voltage detecting and processing circuit 10 provided in this embodiment, for a switching power supply circuit, a first receiving terminal a obtains a first correlation signal related to a negative terminal voltage of the switching power supply circuit, a second receiving terminal B obtains a second correlation signal related to a positive terminal voltage of the switching power supply circuit, the output voltage obtaining unit 13 is configured to obtain a third correlation signal for characterizing an output voltage of the switching power supply based on the first correlation signal and the second correlation signal, and an output terminal C outputs the third correlation signal, and finally, the processing unit 14 is utilized to determine whether the switching power supply circuit has a fault, and perform a corresponding protection process when the fault occurs. According to the technical scheme, the output voltage of the switching power supply is obtained based on the drain voltage of the transistor, so that the output voltage detection and overvoltage protection functions are realized. The switching power supply can be used for different switching operation modes, including CCM (Continuous Conduction Mode ), BCM (Boundary Conduction Mode, boundary or borderline conduction mode), DCM (Discontinuous Conduction Mode ), QR (Quasi-resonance), and the like, and can also be used for different switching power supply topologies, including BUCK, BUCK-BOOST, flyback, boost, and the like. Therefore, the voltage detecting and processing circuit 10 of the present application has high universality.
Specifically, the second receiving end of the output voltage obtaining unit 13 is connected to the drain electrode of the transistor, and obtains the second correlation signal during the demagnetizing period when the transistor is turned off, and the first correlation signal and the second correlation signal can be obtained based on the drain voltage of the transistor, so that no additional voltage dividing resistor, chip pin and transformer winding detection are needed, the structure is simple, the cost is low, and the production is simplified.
Optionally, the output voltage acquisition unit 13 includes an integration unit and a subtraction unit; the integrating unit is used for carrying out integrating processing on the first related signal and outputting the first related signal to the subtracting unit; the subtracting unit is used for subtracting the output of the integrating unit and the second correlation signal and outputting the third correlation signal. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the integration unit may be implemented using a low pass filter and the subtraction unit may be implemented using an operational amplifier embodiment.
In addition to the above-mentioned integrating process performed on the first correlation signal by the integrating unit and outputting the integrated signal to the subtracting unit, and then performing a subtracting process on the output of the integrating unit and the second correlation signal by the subtracting unit and outputting the third correlation signal, the third correlation signal may be obtained in other manners. For example, the positions of the subtracting unit and the integrating unit may be adjusted. Specifically, referring to fig. 6, the output voltage acquiring unit 13 includes an integrating unit 130 and a subtracting unit 131; the subtracting unit 131 is configured to perform a subtraction process on the first correlation signal and the second correlation signal, and output the subtraction result to the integrating unit. The integrating unit 130 is configured to integrate the output of the subtracting unit 131 and output the third correlation signal.
With continued reference to fig. 6, the voltage detecting and processing circuit further includes a first voltage-reducing circuit 11, one end of the first voltage-reducing circuit 11 is connected to the drain of the transistor M1, and the other end of the first voltage-reducing circuit 11 is configured to output the first related signal. Since the drain of the transistor M1 outputs the negative voltage of the switching power supply circuit, the value of the negative voltage tends to be relatively large, so that the negative voltage needs to be subjected to a step-down process when being collected, and the primary function of the first step-down circuit 11 is to convert the negative voltage into a low voltage that can be borne by the voltage detection and processing circuit 10. It can be understood that the first voltage-reducing circuit 11 may be implemented by a voltage-dividing circuit formed by resistors, or by a voltage-dividing circuit formed by MOS transistors, and many other types of structures are not described herein. In order to facilitate understanding, in the embodiment of the present invention, the voltage dividing circuit formed by the resistor through the first voltage reducing circuit 11 is implemented, and other situations are the same.
Specifically, referring to fig. 6, the first voltage-reducing circuit 11 includes a first resistor R1 and a second resistor R2. One end of the first resistor R1 is connected to the drain of the transistor M1, the other end of the first resistor R1 is connected to one end of the second resistor R2 at a first intersection point, and the other end of the second resistor R2 is grounded. The first intersection is used for outputting the first correlation signal.
Preferably, referring to fig. 6, the first step-down circuit 11 may further include a first follower 110; an input end of the first follower 110 is connected to the first intersection point, and an output end of the first follower 110 is configured to output the first correlation signal. The first follower 110 is a voltage follower, so that the voltage values of the input end and the output end of the voltage follower are constant and equal, the first voltage-reducing circuit 11 and the subsequent sampling circuit 12 or the output voltage acquisition unit 13 can be effectively isolated by using the first follower 110, and the change of the voltage value of the negative end sampled by the first voltage-reducing circuit 11 due to the abrupt change of the output or input of the sampling circuit 12 or the output voltage acquisition unit 13 is avoided, so that the anti-interference performance and the accuracy of the detection result are effectively ensured.
Referring to fig. 1, the voltage detection and processing circuit 10 may further include a sample-and-hold circuit 12, one end of the sample-and-hold circuit 12 is connected to the drain of the transistor, the other end of the sample-and-hold circuit 12 is connected to the output voltage acquisition unit 13 and outputs the second correlation signal based on the drain voltage of the transistor, specifically, the output voltage acquisition unit 13 acquires the second correlation signal during the demagnetizing period in which the transistor is turned off. The sample-and-hold circuit 12 is further connected to a drive control unit for outputting control pulse signals to the sample-and-hold circuit 12 and the transistor M1.
Specifically, referring to fig. 6, the sample-hold circuit 12 includes a switch circuit 120, a delay circuit 121, a pulse signal generating circuit 122, and a first capacitor C1. The first end of the switch circuit 120 is connected to the first receiving end a, the second end of the switch circuit 120 is connected to one end of the first capacitor C1 at a second intersection point, and the third end of the switch circuit 120 is connected to the output end of the pulse signal generating circuit 122. An input end of the pulse signal generating circuit 122 is connected to an output end of the delay circuit 121, and an input end of the delay circuit 121 is connected to the drive control unit. The other end of the first capacitor C1 is grounded, and the second intersection point is used for outputting the second correlation signal. In the embodiment of the present invention, the pulse signal generating circuit 122 may output a single pulse signal, and the pulse signal generating circuit 122 may be a single pulse signal generating circuit, for example, a signal such as a switch contact may be used to reset a digital signal, or a shutdown signal may be formed, and the single pulse signal generating circuit may be an asynchronous differential circuit. The timing of the pulse signal generating circuit 122 may be provided by the drive control unit, which is further configured to provide a drive timing signal to the transistor M1 in the switching power supply circuit, which may ensure that the signal sampled at the sample-and-hold circuit 12 is the drain voltage during the demagnetization period when the transistor M1 is turned off. The switch circuit 120 is controlled by the pulse signal generating circuit 122, the pulse signal sent by the pulse signal generating circuit 122 is used for controlling the on-off of the switch circuit 120, for example, when the pulse signal is at a high level, the switch circuit 120 is turned on, the sample hold circuit 12 finishes the sampling operation at this time, and the capacitor C1 is used for holding the sampled voltage; when the pulse signal is at a low level, the switching circuit 120 is turned off. Of course, there are many other similar situations, which are not described in detail herein, and may be selected according to actual needs, which are not limited herein. In the embodiment of the present invention, when the pulse signal is at the high level, the switch circuit 120 is turned on, and the sample-hold circuit 12 performs sampling at this time; and when the pulse signal is at a low level, the switch circuit 120 is turned off for example to specifically explain the other cases similarly.
Preferably, the input end of the sample-hold circuit 12 is connected to the first voltage-reducing circuit 11, and the first correlation signal and the second correlation signal are obtained by sharing the same voltage-reducing circuit, so that an additional voltage-dividing circuit is not required, the structure is simple, and the production is simplified.
Preferably, referring to fig. 6, the sample-and-hold circuit 12 further includes a second follower 123; an input terminal of the second follower 123 is connected to the second intersection, and an output terminal of the second follower 123 is connected to the second input terminal B and is configured to output the second correlation signal. The second follower 123 is a voltage follower, so that the voltage values of the input end and the output end of the second follower are constant and equal, and the second follower 123 can effectively isolate the sample hold circuit 12 from the subsequent output voltage acquisition unit 13, so that the influence on the sample hold circuit 12 caused by the abrupt change of the output or input of the output voltage acquisition unit 13 is avoided, and the anti-interference performance and the accuracy of the detection result are effectively ensured.
Referring to fig. 6, the output voltage obtaining unit 13 includes a third resistor R3, a fourth resistor R4, a fifth resistor R5, a sixth resistor R6, and an operational amplifier OP (i.e. the subtracting unit 131). The first input end of the operational amplifier OP is connected to one end of the third resistor R3 and one end of the fourth resistor R4, the other end of the third resistor R3 is connected to the second receiving end B to receive the second related signal, and the other end of the fourth resistor R4 is grounded. The second input end of the operational amplifier OP is connected to one end of the fifth resistor R5 and one end of the sixth resistor R6, the other end of the fifth resistor R5 is connected to the first receiving end a to receive the first related signal, and the other end of the sixth resistor R6 is connected to the output end of the operational amplifier OP. The output terminal of the operational amplifier OP is further connected to the processing unit 14 to output the third correlation signal.
With continued reference to fig. 6, the processing unit 14 includes a comparator CMP, a fault handling circuit 140; a first input terminal of the comparator CMP is configured to be connected to the output terminal C of the output voltage acquiring unit 13 to receive the third correlation signal, a second input terminal of the comparator CMP is configured to receive a threshold voltage, and an output terminal of the comparator CMP is configured to output a comparison result to the fault processing circuit 140. The fault processing circuit 140 is configured to determine whether the switching power supply circuit has a fault based on the comparison result, and perform protection processing to avoid damage to a device of the switching power supply circuit when the fault occurs. Wherein the threshold voltage is preconfigured. When the comparison result is that the third related signal exceeds the range of the threshold voltage, the comparator CMP triggers an overvoltage signal, and the fault processing circuit 140 receives the overvoltage signal and then performs validity judgment and other comprehensive judgment to determine whether the switching power supply circuit has a fault.
The protection process may include: the fault handling circuit 140 outputs a protection signal to the switching power supply circuit to turn off the switching power supply circuit or to reduce the on time or the on frequency of the switching power supply. For example, when the fault handling circuit 140 determines that the switching power supply circuit has an overvoltage fault, the fault handling circuit 140 may send a fault command to the gate of the transistor M1 in the switching power supply circuit or to the driving control unit of the transistor M1, so that the transistor M1 is turned off or the on time/frequency is reduced. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the main function of the fault handling circuit 140 is to output a corresponding instruction based on the comparison result, so that the fault handling circuit 140 may be implemented by some logic gates, which are not limited herein, and may be specifically selected according to actual needs.
The output voltage obtaining unit may further include an integrating unit 130, and the integrating unit may be a low-pass filter circuit LPF, and it should be noted that the types of filter circuits in the low-pass filter circuit LPF include, but are not limited to, a filter circuit formed by a resistor and a capacitor, a filter circuit formed by a resistor and a inductor, and filtering is implemented only by using a capacitor, and the specific type of the filter circuit in the low-pass filter circuit LPF is not limited and may be specifically selected according to actual needs. In the embodiment of the present invention, the low-pass filter LPF may use a first-order RC low-pass filter, but is not limited to use of a first-order RC low-pass filter, and may use other types of low-pass filters, for example, a second-order RC low-pass filter, or a third-order RC low-pass filter, which is specifically selected according to practical needs. But it should be noted that the higher the order (number of elements) of the low-pass filter, the shorter the transition band thereof. Determining the transition zone may generally be performed in the following manner: the transition zone is required to be short in both cases, one being: when the frequency of the interference signal is close to the frequency of the working signal; for example, the useful signal has a frequency of 10-50MHz, the interference has a frequency of 100MHz, and the interference needs to be suppressed by 20dB (which is a lower requirement), and the order of the filter is required to be at least 4. Another case is: the interference intensity is strong, and the required inhibition amount is large; for example, if the frequency of the useful signal is 10MHz or less and the frequency of the interference is 100MHz, and it is necessary to suppress the interference by 60dB, the order of the filter is required to be at least 3.
