Detailed Description
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these descriptions are illustrative only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure. In the following detailed description, for purposes of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the disclosure. It may be evident, however, that one or more embodiments may be practiced without these specific details. Moreover, in the following description, descriptions of well-known structures and techniques are omitted so as to not unnecessarily obscure the concepts of the present disclosure.
The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the disclosure. The terms "comprises," "comprising," and the like, as used herein, specify the presence of stated features, steps, operations, and/or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, steps, operations, or components.
All terms (including technical and scientific terms) used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art unless otherwise defined. It is noted that the terms used herein should be interpreted as having a meaning that is consistent with the context of this specification and should not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense.
For a conventional Buck DC-DC converter, the slope m and ripple Δ i of the inductor currentLCan be expressed as:
m＝(Vin-Vout)/L (1)
ΔiL＝m×DT (2)
Vinis the converter input voltage, VoutIs the converter output voltage, L is the inductance value, D represents the duty cycle of the power tube control signal, D ═ Vout/VinD < 1, T is the switching period of the converter, and DT represents the conduction time of the power tube per period. From equation (1), the inductor current slope is inversely proportional to the inductance value. The slope of the inductor current represents the current capacity of the inductor for charging the load when the load has transient jump, the larger the slope is, the larger the charging current for the load is, the faster the recovery speed of the output voltage is, the smaller the voltage drop is, and the higher the transient response speed of the load is. According to the formula (2), when the load has transient jump, the larger the duty ratio D is, the longer the charging time DT to the load capacitor in a single period is, the faster the recovery speed of the output voltage is, and the higher the transient response speed of the load is.
Fig. 1 schematically illustrates a circuit schematic diagram of a conventional two-phase series capacitor dc-dc converter provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure.
As shown in fig. 1, for a two-phase series capacitor dc-dc converter, the most direct method for increasing the transient response speed of the load is to increase the switching frequency of the converter, and select a smaller filter inductance value to increase the rising slope of the inductor current on the premise of keeping the ripple of the inductor current unchanged.
For a conventional two-phase series capacitor dc-dc converter, L is shown in fig. 1a、LbC is filter inductance and capacitance, BH, BL, AH and AL are power switches, and the equivalent parasitic capacitances of switch nodes SW1, SW2 and SW3 are respectively Coss1、Coss2And Coss3. In an application environment with a large conversion ratio, the power supply voltage is high, and the power switch often adopts a LDMOSFET (Laterally Diffused Metal-Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor), which results in parasitic capacitances C1, SW2 and SW3oss1、Coss2And Coss3The capacity value is large. When BH switches with BL, AH switches with AL switches, in capacitor Coss1、Coss2And Coss3The charge on the capacitor is discharged and wasted, and the energy loss can reach Coss1Vin 2fs+Coss2Vin 2fs+Coss3Vin 2fsTherefore, higher switching frequency leads to greater switching loss, which severely reduces energy conversion efficiency.
