Technical Field
The present disclosure relates to power supply technologies, and particularly to a controller of an asymmetric half-bridge (AHB) conversion circuit, and a power module and an electronic device using the same.
Background
Conventional electronic devices or power modules generally include asymmetric half-bridge (AHB) dc conversion circuits and controllers, such as Active Clamp Flyback (ACF) dc conversion circuits. The dc conversion circuit generally includes a half-bridge circuit, a transformer, and a rectifier circuit. A primary winding circuit of the transformer receives input voltage of an input power supply through a half-bridge circuit, and a secondary winding circuit is used for providing output voltage to supply power to a load.

Taking a dc conversion circuit as an asymmetric half-bridge conversion circuit as an example, the first aspect of the present application provides a controller for an asymmetric half-bridge conversion circuit, which can be used to control an operation state of the asymmetric half-bridge conversion circuit. When the controller controls the asymmetric half-bridge conversion circuit to operate in a continuous working state, the output voltage of the asymmetric half-bridge conversion circuit is a rated output voltage. When the controller judges that the output voltage of the asymmetric half-bridge conversion circuit is higher than a first preset value, the controller controls the asymmetric half-bridge conversion circuit to operate in a suspended working state. And then, after the asymmetric half-bridge conversion circuit operates in a pause working state, when the controller judges that the output voltage of the auxiliary winding circuit in the asymmetric half-bridge conversion circuit is less than or equal to a second preset value, the controller controls the resonance capacitor of the asymmetric half-bridge conversion circuit to discharge. Or after the asymmetric half-bridge conversion circuit operates in the suspended working state, when the controller judges that the output voltage of the power supply circuit in the asymmetric half-bridge conversion circuit is less than or equal to a third preset value, the controller controls the resonance capacitor of the asymmetric half-bridge conversion circuit to discharge. Therefore, after the asymmetric half-bridge conversion circuit operates in the suspended operating state, the controller provided in this embodiment can control the resonant capacitor of the asymmetric half-bridge conversion circuit to discharge, so that the voltage value of the output voltage of the power supply circuit is higher than the preset voltage value of the low-voltage protection of the controller, thereby preventing the controller from being restarted due to the low-voltage protection, and improving the stability of the power supply module and the electronic device where the asymmetric half-bridge conversion circuit is located. The controller provided by the embodiment can not increase the ripple of the output voltage of the asymmetric half-bridge conversion circuit when controlling the discharge of the resonant capacitor, and can not introduce noise from an input power supply.
In an embodiment of the first aspect of the present application, when the controller determines that the output voltage of the asymmetric half-bridge converting circuit is less than or equal to the rated output voltage, the controller controls the asymmetric half-bridge converting circuit to switch from the pause operation state to the continuous operation state. Therefore, the controller provided by the embodiment can timely control the asymmetric half-bridge conversion circuit to recover the continuous working state after the output voltage of the asymmetric half-bridge conversion circuit recovers to be normal, and the stability of the power module and the electronic equipment where the asymmetric half-bridge conversion circuit is located is further improved.
In an embodiment of the first aspect of the present application, the controller controls the asymmetric half-bridge conversion circuit to operate in a suspended operation state by controlling both the auxiliary power transistor and the main power transistor of the half-bridge conversion circuit in the asymmetric half-bridge conversion circuit to be turned off. Therefore, the controller provided by the embodiment can control the asymmetric half-bridge conversion circuit to no longer process the received input voltage and provide the output voltage after the load level of the power module where the controller is located drops, so that the load is prevented from being damaged due to the overhigh output voltage of the power module.

In an embodiment of the first aspect of the present application, the controller controls the auxiliary power transistor in the half-bridge circuit of the asymmetric half-bridge conversion circuit to be turned on periodically to discharge the resonant capacitor in the half-bridge circuit. Because the resonant capacitor in the half-bridge circuit discharges periodically, the output voltage of the auxiliary winding circuit and the output voltage of the power circuit can be increased in a stepped manner, and the circuit devices are prevented from being damaged due to too fast voltage increase, so that the stability of a power module and electronic equipment where the asymmetric half-bridge conversion circuit is located is improved.
In an embodiment of the first aspect of the present application, the controller controls the auxiliary power transistor and the main power transistor in the half-bridge circuit of the asymmetric half-bridge conversion circuit to be alternately turned on periodically to discharge the resonant capacitor in the half-bridge circuit. When the controller controls the auxiliary power tube to be switched on and the main power tube to be switched off, the resonant capacitor discharges, and the voltage value of the output voltage of the power supply circuit of the controller is increased; when the controller controls the auxiliary power tube to be cut off and the main power tube to be conducted, the input voltage generates primary winding voltage on two sides of the primary winding. The primary winding voltage is coupled through a transformer to produce an auxiliary winding voltage on the auxiliary winding. Accordingly, the voltage value of the output voltage of the auxiliary winding circuit is raised, and the voltage value of the output voltage of the power supply circuit of the controller is raised. The output voltage of the auxiliary winding circuit and the output voltage of the power circuit are increased in a stepped mode, and the phenomenon that circuit devices are damaged due to too fast increasing is avoided, so that the stability of a power module and electronic equipment where the asymmetric half-bridge conversion circuit is located is improved.
In the above embodiments, in a scenario where the load level of the power module drops, the controller may control the resonant capacitor to start discharging. And when the controller controls the discharge of the resonant capacitor, the controller only needs to control the conduction or the cut-off of the main power tube and the auxiliary power tube in the asymmetric half-bridge conversion circuit, so that the configuration is simple, and the controller is more suitable for various products.
In an embodiment of the first aspect of the present application, the controller determines that the capacitor voltage of the resonant capacitor decreases to be less than or equal to a predetermined capacitor voltage value, and then controls the resonant capacitor to stop discharging.

In an embodiment of the first aspect of the present application, the controller may control the resonant capacitor to stop discharging if it is determined that the voltage value of the output voltage of the power circuit is increased to be greater than or equal to the fifth preset value. Therefore, the controller in this embodiment can prevent the controller from being damaged due to the excessively high voltage of the output voltage of the power circuit, and further improve the stability of the power module and the electronic device where the asymmetric half-bridge conversion circuit is located.
In an embodiment of the first aspect of the present application, the controller controls the auxiliary power tube and the main power tube in the half-bridge circuit of the asymmetric half-bridge conversion circuit to turn off, so that the resonance capacitor stops discharging. Therefore, in a scene that the load level of the power module drops, the controller in this embodiment controls the resonant capacitor to stop discharging only by controlling the conduction or the cutoff of the main power tube and the auxiliary power tube in the asymmetric half-bridge conversion circuit, so that the configuration of the controller is simple and the controller is more suitable for various products.

The auxiliary winding circuit is used for supplying power to the power supply circuit. The power supply circuit is used for supplying power to the controller. The controller may be used to control the asymmetric half-bridge conversion circuit.
When the controller controls the asymmetric half-bridge conversion circuit to operate in a continuous working state, the output voltage of the asymmetric half-bridge conversion circuit is a rated output voltage. When the controller judges that the output voltage of the symmetrical half-bridge conversion circuit is higher than a first preset value, the controller controls the asymmetrical half-bridge conversion circuit to operate in a pause working state. And then, after the asymmetric half-bridge conversion circuit operates in a pause working state, when the controller judges that the output voltage of the auxiliary winding circuit in the asymmetric half-bridge conversion circuit is less than or equal to a second preset value, the controller controls the resonance capacitor of the asymmetric half-bridge conversion circuit to discharge. Or after the asymmetric half-bridge conversion circuit operates in the suspended working state, when the controller judges that the output voltage of the power supply circuit in the asymmetric half-bridge conversion circuit is less than or equal to a third preset value, the controller controls the resonance capacitor of the asymmetric half-bridge conversion circuit to discharge.

The primary winding voltage is coupled through a transformer to produce an auxiliary winding voltage on the auxiliary winding. Accordingly, the voltage value of the output voltage of the auxiliary winding circuit is raised, and the voltage value of the output voltage of the power supply circuit of the controller is raised. The output voltage of the auxiliary winding circuit and the output voltage of the power supply circuit are boosted in a stepped mode, and circuit devices are prevented from being damaged due to too fast boosting, so that the stability of the power supply module and the electronic equipment where the power supply module is located is improved.
In the above embodiments, in a scenario where the load level of the power supply module drops, the controller in the power supply module may control the resonant capacitor to start discharging.

The operation state of the dc link circuit 111 generally includes a continuous operation state and a pause operation state. The continuous operation state may also be referred to as a normal operation state, a controller normal wave generation state, and the like. The pause state may also be referred to as an intermittent operation state, a BURST operation state, a controller intermittent wave state, or the like.
When the load level of the load 12 of the power module 11 drops, the primary winding voltage V of the primary winding 1111 in the dc conversion circuit 11111No change will result in the output voltage V of the DC/DC conversion circuit 1112The voltage value of (2) is rapidly increased. Accordingly, the controller 114 needs to adjust the operation state of the dc-dc converter circuit 111 so as to lower the output voltage V of the dc-dc converter circuit 1112To avoid the output voltage V of the power module 112Too high to damage load 12.
Fig. 5 is a voltage waveform diagram of the power module of fig. 4 in a load level droop scenario. The following describes the effect of a drop in the load level L of the load 12 on the conventional controller 114 and the power module 11 thereof in detail with reference to the power module 11 shown in fig. 4.
At t1Before the moment, the load level L of the load 12 is the normal load L1. The controller 114 controls the DC conversion circuit 111 to be in a continuous operation state, and the output voltage V of the DC conversion circuit 1112Is a rated output voltage V20. Rated output voltage V20The rated output voltage of the dc converter circuit 111 in the continuous operation state. Rated output voltage V20May be a range of voltages. Accordingly, the output voltage V of the auxiliary winding circuit 112 4Has a voltage value of V40. Voltage value V40Is the nominal input voltage of the auxiliary winding circuit 112. Voltage value V40May be the output voltage V of the one-voltage range power supply circuit 1135Has a voltage value of V50. Voltage value V50Is the nominal input voltage of the controller 114. Voltage value V50May be a range of voltages.
At t1At that moment, the load level L of the load 12 is changed from the normal load L1Drop to light load L2。
At t1After the time, the output voltage V of the dc conversion circuit 1112Will rise to a voltage value greater than the rated output voltage V20. In one embodiment, the controller 114 controls the dc conversion circuit 111 to operate in a continuous operation state. In addition, the controller 114 reduces the conduction frequency or the conduction time of the main power tube and the auxiliary power tube in the half-bridge circuit 1111, so that the primary winding voltage V of the primary winding 1111 is reduced11The voltage value of (2) decreases. Accordingly, the secondary winding voltage V13The voltage value of (3) is decreased, the output voltage V of the DC conversion circuit 111 can be decreased2The voltage value of (2). Since the auxiliary winding 1121 of the auxiliary winding circuit 112 is coupled to the primary winding 1111, the voltage V of the auxiliary winding3The voltage value of (2) decreases. Accordingly, the output voltage V of the auxiliary winding circuit 1124The voltage value of (3) decreases, the output voltage V of the power supply circuit 113 decreases 5The voltage value of (2) decreases.
However, the load level of the load 12 has a large drop effect, and the controller 114 cannot usually effectively reduce the output voltage V of the dc-dc converter circuit 111 by only reducing the conduction frequency or the conduction duration of the main power transistor and the auxiliary power transistor in the half-bridge circuit 11112The voltage value of (2). Result in at t1After the time point, the output voltage V of the dc conversion circuit 1112Will continue to rise.
At t1T after the moment of time2At that time, the output voltage V of the dc conversion circuit 1112The voltage value is increased to be greater than or equal to a first preset value V21. Output voltage V of conversion circuit 1112Will damage the load 12. To prevent the output voltage V of the DC conversion circuit 1112The voltage value of the dc converter circuit 111 is continuously increased, and the controller 114 needs to control the dc converter circuit 111 to operate in the pause state. Wherein the voltage value V is adjusted21Record as a first preset value, voltage value V21Is the maximum output voltage of the dc conversion circuit 111. Voltage value V21Less than the rated output voltage V of the DC conversion circuit 11120And is smaller than the overvoltage protection voltage of the dc conversion circuit 111.
At t2After the moment, the dc conversion circuit 111 is in a suspended state, so that the primary winding voltage V of the primary winding circuit 1111 in the dc conversion circuit 111 11And (4) descending. Accordingly, the output voltage V of the dc conversion circuit 1112The voltage value of (2) decreases. Since the auxiliary winding 1121 is coupled to the primary winding 1111, the primary winding voltage V of the primary winding 111111Drop, which results in an auxiliary winding voltage V of the auxiliary winding 11213The voltage value of (2) decreases. Accordingly, the output voltage V of the auxiliary winding circuit 1124The voltage value of (3) decreases, and the output voltage V of the power supply circuit 113 decreases5The voltage value of (2) decreases.
If the output voltage V of the power supply circuit 113 is5Is less than the under-voltage protection voltage V of the controller 11451The controller 114 will restart because of the low voltage protection. Voltage value V51Is the under-voltage protection voltage of the controller 114. The controller 114 needs a period of time to complete the restart process, fromTherefore, the controller 14 cannot control the operation state of the dc transformer circuit 111 during this period, and the stability of the power module 11 and the electronic device 10 where the controller 114 is located is affected.
At t2T after time3At that time, the output voltage V of the power supply circuit 1135Is reduced to be less than or equal to a third preset value V52. Third preset value V52Greater than the undervoltage protection voltage V of the controller 11451And is less than the rated input voltage V of the controller 11450. When the output voltage V of the power circuit 113 is 5Is less than or equal to a third preset value V52The controller 114 controls the dc conversion circuit 111 to operate in a continuous operation state. Accordingly, the primary winding voltage V11The voltage value of (2) is raised. Primary winding voltage V11Can lead to an auxiliary winding voltage V3The voltage value of (2) is raised. Accordingly, the output voltage V of the auxiliary winding circuit 1124The voltage value of (2) is raised. Output voltage V of power supply circuit 1135The voltage value of (2) is raised. However, the primary winding voltage V11The voltage value of (2) is increased, and the secondary winding voltage V is also caused12So that the output voltage V of the dc conversion circuit 111 is raised2The voltage value of (2) is raised.
At t3T after the moment4At that time, the output voltage V of the DC conversion circuit 1112Is raised to be greater than or equal to a second predetermined value V21. At this time, the controller 114 needs to control the dc converter circuit 111 to operate in the suspended state. The DC conversion circuit 111 operates in a pause state to make the primary winding voltage V11The voltage value of (2) decreases. Accordingly, the output voltage V of the dc conversion circuit 1112The voltage value of (2) decreases. However, the primary winding voltage V11Will also result in the output voltage V of the auxiliary winding circuit 112 4The voltage value of (2) decreases. Accordingly, the output voltage V of the power supply circuit 1135The voltage value of (2) decreases.
At t4T after the moment of time5At that time, the output voltage V of the power supply circuit 1135Is reduced to be less than or equal to a fifth predetermined value V52. At this time, the controller 114 needs to control the dc converter circuit 111 to operate in a continuous operation state. Accordingly, the output voltage V of the auxiliary winding circuit 1124The voltage value of (2) is raised. Output voltage V of power supply circuit 1135The voltage value of (2) is raised. However, the dc conversion circuit 111 operates in a continuous operation state, which causes the output voltage V of the dc conversion circuit 111 to be increased2The voltage value of (2) is raised.
Therefore, although the controller 114 in the conventional power module 11 can avoid the restart due to the under-voltage protection, the controller also causes the output voltage V of the dc converter circuit 1112The corrugation of (2) is large. Therefore, the conventional controller 114 and the power module 11 thereof will cause the output voltage V of the dc conversion circuit 1112The ripple of (2) is large, thereby affecting the stability of the power module 11.
Fig. 6 is a schematic diagram of another conventional controller and a power module thereof. As shown in fig. 6, the auxiliary winding circuit 112 of the power module 11 is connected to the input power 13 through the switch K. The change in the load level L of the load 12 causes the output voltage V of the dc conversion circuit 111 2After the voltage value is raised, the controller 114 controls the dc conversion circuit 111 to operate in the suspended state, and the controller 114 controls the switch K to be turned on. The input power 13 supplies power to the power circuit 113 through the switch K and the auxiliary winding circuit 112, thereby preventing the controller 114 from restarting due to undervoltage protection. However, noise of the input power 13 is also transmitted to the inside of the power module 11 through the switch K, and affects electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) of the power module 11.
The application provides a controller of a direct current conversion circuit, a power module and electronic equipment where the controller is located, and the controller can overcome the defects that in the prior art, the stability problem, the electromagnetic compatibility problem, the output voltage ripple increase and the like of the controller, the power module and the electronic equipment where the controller is located are overcome.

Fig. 8 is a schematic voltage waveform diagram of a controller and a power module in which the controller is located in a scene where a load level drops. The following describes an operation process of the controller 114 and the power module 11 thereof provided in the present application in a scenario where the load level L of the load 12 falls down, with reference to fig. 7 and 8.

That is, the controller 114 is controlled according to the output voltage V of the DC conversion circuit 1112Voltage value of and rated output voltage V 20As a result of the comparison, the controller 114 controls the dc converting circuit 111 to operate in a continuous operation state, and the controller 114 controls the dc converting circuit 111 to decrease the output voltage V2The voltage value of (2). Specifically, the controller 114 sends a control signal G to control the operation states of the main power tube and the auxiliary power tube in the half-bridge circuit 1110, so that the primary winding voltage V is obtained11The voltage value of (2) decreases. In one embodiment, the controller 114 may decrease the transmission frequency of the control signal G, thereby decreasing the conduction frequency of the main power transistor and the auxiliary power transistor. In one embodiment, the controller 114 may decrease the duty cycle of the control signal G, thereby decreasing the conduction time of the main power transistor and the auxiliary power transistor. In another embodiment, the output voltage V of the DC conversion circuit 111 is set2Has a voltage value greater than the rated output voltage V20The controller 114 can control the dc converting circuit 111 to operate in the suspended state, and can also reduce the output voltage V2The voltage value of (2). However, both of the above embodiments may not enable the output voltage V of the dc conversion circuit 1112Is effectively reduced, at t1Output voltage V of dc conversion circuit 111 after the time2Will continue to rise.

The peak voltage of the DC conversion circuit 111 is greater than the rated output voltage V20And is smaller than the overvoltage protection voltage of the dc conversion circuit 111.
At t2After the time, the controller 114 controls the dc conversion circuit 111 to operate in the suspended state. Accordingly, the output voltage V of half-bridge circuit 111010So that the voltage value of the primary winding 1111 is decreased, the voltage of the primary winding V is applied to the primary winding 111111The voltage value of (2) decreases.

Accordingly, the output voltage V of the dc conversion circuit 1112The voltage value of (2) decreases. In addition, on the primary winding 1111Primary winding voltage V11Will result in an auxiliary winding voltage V3The voltage value of (2) decreases. Accordingly, the output voltage V of the auxiliary winding circuit 1124The voltage value of (3) decreases, the output voltage V of the power supply circuit 113 decreases5The voltage value of (2) decreases.
At t2T after time3At that moment, the output voltage V of the auxiliary winding circuit 1124Is reduced to be less than or equal to a second preset value V41Or the output voltage V of the power supply circuit 1135Is reduced to be less than or equal to a third preset value V52. Wherein the voltage value V is adjusted41Is recorded as a second preset value, voltage value V41Is greater than the lowest input voltage of the power circuit 113 and is less than the rated input voltage V of the power circuit 113 40.

That is, the controller 114 is based on the output voltage V of the power supply circuit 1135Voltage value of (d) and a third predetermined value V52As a result of the comparison, controller 114 controls the discharge of the capacitor in half-bridge circuit 1110.
In one embodiment, the controller 114 controls the auxiliary power transistor in the half-bridge circuit 1110 to be turned on, so that the capacitor of the half-bridge circuit 1110 is discharged. When the auxiliary power tube in the half-bridge circuit 1110 is turned on, the capacitance and the auxiliary power of the primary winding 1111 and the half-bridge circuit 1110 The rate tube may form a discharge circuit. Accordingly, the capacitor in half-bridge circuit 1110 discharges, producing a primary winding voltage V across primary winding 111111。
In one embodiment, the controller 114 controls the auxiliary power transistor in the half-bridge circuit 1110 to be periodically turned on, so that the capacitor of the half-bridge circuit 1110 is discharged. When the auxiliary power in the half-bridge circuit 1110 is turned on, the primary winding 1111, the capacitor of the half-bridge circuit 1110, and the auxiliary power tube of the half-bridge circuit 1110 may form a discharge loop. Accordingly, the auxiliary power transistor is periodically turned on, which may cause the capacitor in half-bridge circuit 1110 to periodically discharge.
In one embodiment, the dc converter circuit 111 includes an AHB converter circuit, and the controller 114 controls the resonant capacitor in the half-bridge circuit 1110 of the AHB converter circuit to discharge. In one embodiment, the dc conversion circuit 111 includes an ACF conversion circuit, and the controller 114 controls the clamp capacitors in the half-bridge circuit 1110 of the ACF conversion circuit to discharge. In one embodiment, the half-bridge circuit 1110 of the dc converter circuit 111 may include a plurality of capacitors therein, and the controller 114 controls the plurality of capacitors in the half-bridge circuit 1110 to discharge.
At t3After the moment, the capacitor voltage V of the capacitor in half-bridge circuit 1110 cThe voltage value of (2) decreases.

Accordingly, the primary winding voltage V11Will result in an auxiliary winding voltage V3The voltage value of (2) is raised. Accordingly, the output voltage V of the auxiliary winding circuit 1124The voltage value of (3) is raised, and the output voltage V of the power supply circuit 113 is increased5The voltage value of (2) is raised. Therefore, in a scene where the load level of the load 12 changes, the output voltage V of the power supply circuit 1135Does not drop below the under-voltage protection voltage V of the controller 11451Thereby avoiding the controller 114 from restarting due to low voltage protection.
The controller 114 provided in this embodiment of the application can control the capacitor in the primary winding circuit 1111 of the dc conversion circuit 111 to discharge, so that the output voltage V of the power supply circuit 113 is obtained5Is higher than the preset voltage value V of the low voltage protection of the controller 11451Thereby avoiding the controller 114 from restarting due to low voltage protection. Therefore, the controller 114 provided in the embodiment of the present application can improve the stability of the power module 11 and the electronic device 10 where the controller is located.
Because of the limited energy stored by the capacitor in half-bridge circuit 1110, the primary winding voltage V is generated across primary winding 1111 after discharge 11The voltage value of (2) is small.
