Background
Currently, flyback converters (Flyback converters) have been widely used as power conversion devices for various electronic products because of their advantages of high efficiency, low power consumption, small size and light weight.
Flyback converters are frequently used in a variety of portable devices (e.g., mobile phones, digital cameras, tablet computers, digital music players, media players, portable hard drives, handheld game consoles, and other handheld consumer electronic devices) that are powered from a limited internal battery, such as a lithium battery. Therefore, flyback converters are commonly used to provide voltage regulation functionality.
As technology advances, portable devices become more functional, requiring more power from the power converter. In some applications there may be a demand for higher current for a short period (short-term transient overpower boost demand). The application may be a printer, a motor, or for CPU power boost functions. The instantaneous overpower can be 2 times or even 3 to 4 times of the maximum power required for normal operation. Known converters cannot deliver large amounts of instantaneous overpower at no cost (e.g., using larger transformers to avoid magnetic saturation conditions).
It is therefore desirable to provide a technique for maintaining normal operation of a module during transient overpower, avoiding saturation of the magnetic core, and minimizing the increase in size and cost of the module to meet the transient overpower conditions.

Fig. 11 is a schematic diagram showing waveforms of signals related to a large dynamic load and an instantaneous overpower state of a flyback converter to which the instantaneous overpower control circuit 100 of the present invention is applied. With reference to fig. 1, the analysis is as follows:
iout is the output load current, 10% Io represents the load of 10%; 100% Io represents 100% load, which we generally refer to as full load; 400% Io represents 4 times full load, i.e. 4 times overpower. VFB represents the voltage of the FB pin of the controller; VCS represents the voltage at the CS pin of the controller; PEM _ EN _ L is the output signal of the instantaneous overpower judgment unit 102; GATE is an output signal of the frequency and duty ratio control unit 105.
As can be seen in FIG. 11, in the case of normal large dynamic load jump 10-100% Io-10%, the VCS voltage is lower than the maximum peak current limit threshold Vref _ Lim1 in the normal mode, and the instantaneous overpower state is not triggered, i.e., the instantaneous overpower state signal PEM _ EN _ L is high; in the event of a jump between normal load and instantaneous overpower, i.e., 10-400 Io-10 Io, the VCS voltage would be higher than the maximum peak current limiting threshold Vref _ Lim1 in the normal mode, and the instantaneous overpower state would normally be entered, i.e., the instantaneous overpower state signal PEM _ EN _ L would be low.
Further, comparing before and after the instantaneous overpower state, it can be found that both the operating frequency and the peak current of the controller are increased when the PEM _ EN _ L is at an active low level (the increase of the operating frequency of the controller is reflected in that the interval time of the GATE signal appearing at a high level is shortened, and the increase of the peak current is reflected in that the VCS voltage is increased), so as to meet the demand of the instantaneous overpower. In the event PEM _ EN _ L is high, the instantaneous over-power state may be exited and the normal operating mode restored, with the operating frequency and peak current of the controller restored to normal.
Fig. 12 is a diagram showing simulation-related signal waveforms of a large dynamic load and an instantaneous overpower state system of a flyback converter to which the instantaneous overpower control circuit 100 of the present invention is applied. With reference to fig. 1, the following was analyzed:
vout is output voltage of the flyback converter, iout is output load current of the flyback converter, and VFB is voltage of an FB pin of the controller; VCS is the voltage of CS pin of controller; PEM _ EN _ L is the output signal of the instantaneous overpower judgment unit 102; GATE is an output signal of the frequency and duty ratio control unit 105.
As can be seen from fig. 12, when the normal load is switched to the instantaneous overpower state, the transient response of the system is fast due to the fast increase of the peak current and the operating frequency, and further the power loss of the output voltage Vout of the system is less than 10%; under the normal large dynamic load jump condition, the system can not enter an instantaneous overpower state, and the over-and-under rush of the system is very small; meanwhile, after the instantaneous overpower load is recovered to the normal load, the system normally jumps out of the instantaneous overpower state, the output voltage Vout overshoot of the system is small, and the system index requirement is met.
Fig. 13 is a schematic circuit diagram of an alternative embodiment of the alternative data selector MUX1011 of the peak current sampling unit 101 of fig. 3. The difference from fig. 3 is that NMOS transistors NM1 and NM2 are replaced by transfer gates Transgate1 and Transgate2, and the specific connection relationship is as follows:
the input end of the transmission gate Transgate1 is used as the first input end Vin1 of the alternative data selector 1011, the output end of the transmission gate Transgate1 is connected with the output end of the transmission gate Transgate2, and the junction of the connection is used as the output end Vout of the alternative data selector 1011; the positive control end of the transmission gate Transgate1 is simultaneously connected with the negative control end of the transmission gate Transgate2 and the output end of the NOT 8; the inverting control terminal of the transmission gate Transgate1 is connected with the non-inverting control terminal of the transmission gate Transgate2 and the input terminal of the not gate not8 at the same time, and the junction of the connection is used as the third input terminal Vin3 of the one-out-of-two data selector 1011; an input terminal of the transmission gate Transgate2 serves as a second input terminal Vin2 of the one-out-of-two data selector 2011.
Since the alternative data selector can make the NMOS transistors NM1 and NM2 operate in a linear region when the low voltage VCC =5V is selected, but if the low voltage VCC =3V is selected, the NMOS transistors cannot be used under a relatively high level value of Vin1 and Vin2, because the NMOS transistors operate in a saturation region, the input voltage Vin1 or Vin2 is not normally transferred to the output Vout, which affects the transmission effect. In the embodiment of the alternative data selector, the NMOS transistors NM1 and NM2 in fig. 4 are replaced by the transmission gates Transgate1 (a PMOS transistor and an NMOS transistor are used as a conventional structure, the gates of the transistors are respectively connected to two control signals with opposite potentials, and the drains and sources of the transistors are respectively connected in parallel) and the transmission gates Transgate2, so that even if the low voltage VCC =3V is selected, the PMOS transistor in the transmission gate can operate in a linear region, so that the input voltage Vin1 or Vin2 can be normally transmitted to the output Vout at a relatively high level, thereby ensuring the reliability and effectiveness of transmission.
The foregoing is merely a preferred embodiment of this invention, it being noted that the above-mentioned preferred embodiment should not be considered as limiting of this invention, and it being recognized that this invention is applicable in other broader contexts. According to the present invention, it is possible to make various modifications, substitutions and alterations without departing from the basic technical idea of the invention, and it is within the scope of the appended claims.
