Description

Transformer bias magnetic detection circuit in bridge type isolated switch power supply
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of power supplies, in particular to a transformer bias detection circuit in a bridge isolation type switching power supply.
Background
The bridge type isolated switching power supply is one of the most commonly used circuit topologies in the current DC/DC converter, and is the preferred topology in medium and high power application occasions, such as vehicle-mounted OBC, photovoltaic, energy storage and other application occasions. A common bridge-isolated switching power supply includes a full-bridge circuit topology and a half-full-bridge circuit topology, as shown in fig. 1, which is a schematic diagram of a typical full-bridge circuit topology structure, and includes a transformer T, a primary side circuit includes a full-bridge switching unit composed of a switching tube S1 to a switching tube S4, a switching tube S1 and a switching tube S2 form a first bridge arm, a switching tube S3 and a switching tube S4 form a second bridge arm, a switching tube S1 and a switching tube S3 are upper tubes, a switching tube S2 and a switching tube S4 are lower tubes, and a full-bridge switching unit receives an input voltage Uin, and further includes a secondary side rectifier circuit 210 connected to a secondary side winding of the transformer T and outputting an output voltage Uout. As shown in fig. 2, a typical half-bridge circuit topology is different from a full-bridge circuit in that a primary side of the half-bridge circuit topology includes a switching leg formed by a switching tube S1 and a switching tube S2, and a capacitor leg formed by a first capacitor C1 and a second capacitor C2, and the switching leg and the capacitor leg form a half-bridge switching unit.
As shown in fig. 1 and 2, each of the bridge-isolated switching power supplies includes a high-frequency transformer T, because: the on-state voltage drops of all switching tubes in the bridge isolation type switching power supply are different, the positive and negative half cycles of driving pulses of the switching tubes output by the control circuit are asymmetrical, and the like, so that the positive and negative waveform amplitudes of the voltage applied to the primary side of the transformer are unequal, the magnetic bias phenomenon of the transformer is caused, and the bridge isolation type switching power supply is generally used in the transformer. When the magnetic bias is serious, the magnetic core of the transformer can be saturated in a single direction, so that the primary winding is over-current instantly and the power device is damaged. Therefore, in various bridge-type isolated switching power supplies, no matter which control mode is adopted, corresponding transformer magnetic biasing suppression measures must be adopted to ensure that the transformer is always in a symmetrical balanced operation state.
The existing commonly used transformer magnetic biasing suppression measure is to connect a blocking capacitor in series in a transformer loop, and because the blocking capacitor needs a large current flowing through a power stage, the blocking capacitor is generally large in size, and the larger the power current is, the larger the size of the required blocking capacitor is, and the higher the cost is, which is contrary to the miniaturization development trend of a power converter. In addition, some circuits cannot be provided with blocking capacitors, that is, the blocking capacitors cannot be applied to all bridge-type isolated switching power supplies. The magnetic biasing quantity of the transformer can be detected through the transformer magnetic biasing detection circuit, and then the magnetic biasing quantity is controlled to be minimum through the magnetic biasing control circuit.
Therefore, designing a transformer bias detection circuit in a bridge-isolated switching power supply to accurately detect the bias amount of the transformer is a key point of research in the industry.

In an embodiment of the present invention, in order to provide a transformer bias detection circuit in a bridge-isolated switching power supply, specifically, refer to a block diagram of the transformer bias detection circuit in the bridge-isolated switching power supply according to an embodiment of the present invention shown in fig. 3, the transformer bias detection circuit in the bridge-isolated switching power supply according to the present invention is used for detecting a dc bias amount of a high-frequency transformer in the bridge-isolated switching power supply, specifically, refer to fig. 3, the transformer bias detection circuit in the bridge-isolated switching power supply according to an embodiment of the present invention includes:
the first current transformer CT1 comprises a primary winding 11 and a secondary winding 12, wherein the primary winding 11 is connected in series with a first switching tube S11 in a bridge switching unit of a bridge isolation type switching power supply;
the second current transformer CT2 comprises a primary winding 21 and a secondary winding 22, the primary winding 21 is connected in series with a second switching tube S22 in a bridge switching unit of the bridge isolation type switching power supply, wherein the phase difference between driving signals of the first switching tube S11 and the second switching tube S22 is 180 degrees when the bridge isolation type switching power supply works;
