The switching power supply provided by the embodiment of the invention cancels an isolation optocoupler or a capacitor, can realize a communication mode from a secondary side to a primary side with low cost and high reliability, reduces the system cost and realizes the miniaturization of a charging product. The following describes a switching power supply provided in an embodiment of the present invention.
Fig. 3 shows a schematic structural diagram of a switching power supply provided in an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 3, the switching power supply mainly includes an EMI filter 310, a primary feedback control chip 320, a secondary synchronous rectification and protocol control chip 330, a USB/TYPE-C interface 340, a transformer T1 (including a primary winding Npri, a secondary winding Nsec, and an auxiliary winding Naux), and an output module 350 (optional), where the output module 350 may include an output switch.
As an example, the secondary synchronous rectification and protocol control chip 330 may be configured to encode the request information from the device to be charged, resulting in encoded information; the primary feedback control chip 320 may be configured to decode the encoded information to obtain the request information, and control the switching power supply to provide the output signal to the device to be charged based on the request information.
Specifically, the switching power supply provided in the embodiment of the present invention cancels an isolation optocoupler or a capacitor, obtains encoded information by encoding request information from a device to be charged inside the secondary synchronous rectification and protocol control chip 330, transmits the encoded information to the primary feedback control chip 320 via the auxiliary winding Naux of the transformer T1 and the CS pin of the primary feedback control chip 320, decodes the encoded information inside the primary feedback control chip 320, obtains the request information, and controls the switching power supply to provide an output signal to the device to be charged based on the request information. Accordingly, embodiments of the present invention provide a communication device and method for transmitting a signal from a secondary side to a primary side.
As shown in fig. 3, when a device to be charged (e.g., a smart phone, etc.) needs to be charged quickly, request information for voltage or current regulation is provided to the secondary synchronous rectification and protocol control chip 330 through the signal lines DP, DN or CC1, CC2 of the USB/TYPE-C interface 340, the secondary synchronous rectification and protocol control chip 330 receives the request information, the request information is encoded by an internal encoding module (which will be described below) and provided to the primary feedback control chip 320, the primary feedback control chip 320 receives the encoded information and decodes the encoded information by an internal decoding module (which will be described below) to obtain the request information, so as to control the switching power supply to provide a desired high output voltage, current, protection, etc. to the device to be charged based on the request information, thereby achieving the purpose of quick charging.
For better understanding of the switching power supply provided by the embodiment of the present invention, a specific implementation of the switching power supply is described below, and referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a schematic structural diagram illustrating the specific implementation of the switching power supply provided by the embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in fig. 4, the switching power supply mainly includes an EMI filter 310, a rectifier bridge BD, an input capacitor Cbulk, a primary feedback control chip 320, a primary current sampling resistor Rs, a secondary synchronous rectification and protocol control chip 330, a USB/TYPE-C interface 340, a transformer T1 (including a primary winding Npri, a secondary winding Nsec, and an auxiliary winding Naux), an output capacitor Co, and an output module 350 (optional), where the output module 350 may include an output switch.
In some embodiments, the primary feedback control chip 320 may include a power switch Q1, and the secondary synchronous rectification and protocol control chip 330 may include a synchronous rectification switch Q2. The above is provided as an example only and should not be construed as limiting, for example, in other embodiments, the power switches Q1 and Q2 may be independently packaged.
As an example, the primary feedback control chip 320 may be configured to start operating when an input characterizing signal characterizing the input voltage of the switching power supply is greater than a first preset threshold; the secondary side synchronous rectification and protocol control chip 330 may be configured to start operating when an output feedback signal representing the output voltage of the switching power supply is greater than a second preset threshold.
Specifically, as shown in the figure, after the AC Voltage is switched in, the AC Voltage is filtered and rectified by the EMI filter 310 and the rectifier bridge BD, then the input capacitor Cbulk is charged by the filtered and rectified Voltage, the filtered AC Voltage is rectified into a dc Voltage by the rectifier bridge BD, the capacitor Cd is charged by the dc Voltage through the starting resistor Rst, and then after the Voltage on the capacitor Cd (i.e., the Voltage at the primary side VDD pin of the primary side feedback control chip 320) is higher than the Under Voltage Lock Out (UVLO) Voltage set by the primary side feedback control chip 320, the primary side feedback control chip 320 starts to operate to output energy to the secondary side, the body diode D1 inside the secondary side synchronous rectification and protocol control chip 330 is turned on, so that the output Voltage Vo of the switching power supply starts to rise, and after the output Voltage Vo is higher than the UVLO Voltage set by the secondary side synchronous rectification and protocol control chip 330, the secondary synchronous rectification and protocol control chip 330 starts to operate.
As an example, the normal operation flow of the flyback switching power supply provided in the embodiment of the present invention may be mainly divided into the following stages:
in the first phase, energy is stored in the primary winding Npri of the transformer T1 during the on-time of the power switch Q1, and the secondary side is supplied with energy by the output capacitor Co.
In the second stage, when the power switch tube Q1 changes from the on state to the off state, the synchronous rectification switch tube Q2 is controlled to change from the off state to the on state, and during the period that the synchronous rectification switch tube Q2 is in the on state, the energy stored in the primary winding Npri of the transformer T1 is released to the secondary winding of the transformer T1 (which corresponds to the demagnetization time Tdemg) to provide energy for the load and charge the output capacitor Co; at this time, the voltage on the auxiliary winding Vaux of the transformer T1 can reflect the output voltage Vo (the voltage drop is negligible here because the synchronous rectification on-resistance is small), and an output feedback signal VFB (which may represent the output voltage Vo) obtained by dividing the voltage Vaux on the auxiliary winding Naux by the resistors R1 and R2 is used as a feedback control signal and is input to the primary side feedback control chip 320 via the FB pin for control.
In the third stage, after the synchronous rectification switch Q2 changes from the on state to the off state, the inductor Lmi of the primary winding Npr of the transformer T1 and the output capacitor Coss of the power switch Q1 resonate (corresponding to the resonant time Tring), and according to the difference of the output load, the primary feedback control chip 320 may control the power switch Q1 to change from the off state to the on state at different resonant valley bottoms, and repeatedly circulate the above three processes, and finally provide the desired output voltage, output current and/or protection for the device to be charged through the USB/Type-C interface 340.
With reference to fig. 4 and fig. 5, fig. 5 shows waveforms of corresponding signals in the switching power supply provided by the embodiment of the invention.
Wherein, the waveform PSR gate represents a control signal of the primary side feedback control chip 320 for controlling on/off of the power switch Q1, the waveform PSR Ipk represents a current flowing through the primary side winding (hereinafter referred to as primary side current), the waveform PSR FB represents an output feedback signal for representing an output voltage, the waveform SR Vdrain represents a voltage at the drain of the synchronous rectification switch Q2 in the secondary side synchronous rectification and protocol control chip 330, the waveform SR gate represents a control signal of the secondary side synchronous rectification and protocol control chip 330 for controlling on/off of the synchronous rectification switch Q2, the waveform SR Isk represents a current flowing through the secondary side winding (hereinafter referred to as secondary side current), Tdemg corresponds to demagnetization time, and Tring corresponds to resonance time. The correspondence between the waveforms of the respective signals is shown in fig. 5, and is not described herein again for the sake of simplifying the description.
In summary, the switching power supply provided by the embodiment of the present invention receives the request information from the device to be charged through the signals DP, DN or CC1, CC2 of the USB/TYPE-C interface 340, and then the charger may adjust the output voltage or output current or implement protection, etc. based on the request information.
Specifically, the encoding module built in the secondary synchronous rectification and protocol control chip 330 may encode the request information based on a predetermined encoding rule to form specific pre-encoded information, and then supply the specific pre-encoded information to the primary feedback control chip 320 through an auxiliary winding of the transformer and a current detection circuit (refer to fig. 6), and the decoding module built in the primary feedback control chip 320 may decode the specific pre-encoded information to obtain the request information and adjust an output signal according to the decoded request information, where the output signal may include one or more of the following items: output voltage, output current, protection signal, etc.

As an example, the demagnetization detecting module 3210 may be configured to detect a demagnetization of the primary winding of the transformer based on the output feedback signal when the power switch Q1 is in the off state.
Specifically, the demagnetization detecting module 3210 may be further configured to determine, when the power switch Q1 is in an off state, a time period from a rising edge of the output feedback signal rising above a certain preset value (e.g., 0.1V) to a falling edge of the output feedback signal falling below a certain preset value (e.g., 0.1V), as the demagnetization time Tdemg of the primary winding (see fig. 5).

As an example, the first terminal of the synchronous rectification module 3302 is connected to the first terminal of the synchronous rectification switch Q2, the second terminal of the synchronous rectification switch Q2 is connected to a Drain pin, the third terminal of the synchronous rectification switch Q2 is connected to a GND pin, the first terminal of the demagnetization detection module 3318 is connected to the Drain pin, the second terminal is connected to the second terminal of the synchronous rectification module 3302, the first terminal of the encoding module 3312 is connected to the first terminal of the dummy load module 3314, the second terminal of the dummy load module 3304 is connected to the third terminal of the synchronous rectification module 3302, the first terminal of the regulator 3304 is connected to a Vin pin, the second terminal is connected to the first terminal of the system output detection module 3310, the second terminal of the system output detection module 3310 is connected to the fourth terminal of the synchronous rectification module 3302, the second terminal of the encoding module 3312 is connected to the fifth terminal of the synchronous rectification module 3302, the third terminal of the encoding module 3312 is connected to the sixth terminal of the synchronous rectification module 3302, the fourth terminal of the coding module 3312 is connected to the first terminal of the protection module 3316, the fifth to eighth terminals of the coding module are connected to a DP pin, a DN pin, a CC1 pin, and a CC2 pin, respectively, the first terminal of the regulator 3306 is connected to a VDD pin, the second terminal of the regulator 3306 is connected to the first terminal of the UVLO module 3308, the second terminal of the UVLO module 3308 outputs a PG signal, the third terminal of the UVLO module 3308 outputs an AVDD signal, the first terminal of the comparator 3320 receives a Vdrain voltage (voltage at the drain of the synchronous rectification switching tube Q2), the second terminal is grounded, the first terminal of the comparator 3322 receives the Vdrain voltage, the second terminal is grounded, the third terminal of the comparator 3320 is connected to the reset terminal of the RS flip-flop 3326 via the minimum on-time control module 3324, the third terminal of the comparator 3322 is connected to the set terminal of the RS flip-flop 3326, the output terminal of the RS flip-flop 3326 may be connected to the first terminal of the logic control module 3328, the second terminal of the logic control module 3328 may be connected to the fourth terminal of the synchronous rectification control module 3302, the third terminal of the logic control module 3328 may be connected to the first terminal of the gate driving module 3330, the second terminal of the gate driving module 3330 is connected to the first terminal of the synchronous rectification module 3302, and the third terminal of the gate driving module 3330 is connected to the sixth terminal of the synchronous rectification module 3302.
As an example, the synchronous rectification control module 3302 may be configured to generate the second control signal for controlling the turn-on and turn-off of the synchronous rectification switch tube Q2 based on the drain voltage of the synchronous rectification switch tube Q2 after the power switch tube Q1 is turned off.
Specifically, after the power switch Q1 is turned off, the secondary winding starts to demagnetize, in order to prevent the primary and secondary windings from being in common, a body diode (body diode) of the synchronous rectification switch Q2 is firstly turned on, and the comparator 3320 may be configured to compare the Vdrain voltage with a preset threshold value, and when the Vdrain voltage is less than the preset threshold value (e.g., -300mV), cause the gate driving module 3330 to generate a second control signal for controlling the conduction of the synchronous rectification switch Q2; as the demagnetization current gradually decreases, the Vdrain voltage gradually rises, and the comparator 3322 may be configured to compare the Vdrain voltage with a preset threshold, and when the Vdrain voltage is greater than the preset threshold (for example, -3.5mV or 0mV), cause the gate driving module 3330 to generate a second control signal for controlling the turn-off of the synchronous rectification switch Q2.
As an example, in order to prevent the demagnetization starting resonance from affecting the detection of the Vdrain voltage, which may cause the synchronous rectification switch Q2 to be turned off by mistake in advance, the minimum on-time setting module 3324 may be used to set the minimum on-time of the synchronous rectification switch Q2, so as to prevent the synchronous rectification switch Q2 from being turned off by mistake in advance.
As one example, the demagnetization detection module 3318 may be configured to perform demagnetization detection when performing encoding control.
As an example, the encoding module 3312 may be configured to receive request information from the device to be charged through the data signal lines DP, DN and CC1, CC2, identify the request information based on a predetermined encoding rule, obtain encoded information, output a second control signal for controlling the on and off of the synchronous rectification switch Q2 through the synchronous rectification control logic and driving module, and transmit the second control signal to the primary side feedback control chip for decoding through transformer coupling.

As an example, the dummy load module 3314 may be configured to prevent overshoot on the output voltage by adding a dummy load to the secondary side synchronous rectification and protocol control chip when the switching power supply is in a dynamic state; when a plug is unplugged or the switching power supply is in a no-load state, the output voltage or the output current needs to be adjusted, the working frequency of the system is too low, and the coding time is longer, the frequency is improved by adding a dummy load of a secondary synchronous rectification and protocol control chip (namely, the dummy load of the switching power supply is added), and the coding time is reduced.
As an example, the regulator 3304, the regulator 3306, the UVLO module 3308, and the system output detection module 3310 may be configured to power various components in the secondary side synchronous rectification and protocol control chip 330.
It should be noted that, in addition to being located inside the secondary side synchronous rectification and protocol control chip as shown in the figure, the synchronous rectification switch tube Q2 may also be packaged independently, which is not limited in the present invention.
As shown in fig. 7, in the switching power supply provided in the embodiment of the present invention, the secondary synchronous rectification and protocol control chip 330 receives request information from a device to be charged via signal lines DP, DN or CC1, CC2, where the request information is used to indicate an output voltage, an output current request, or a protection request, the encoding circuit 3312 may be configured to perform encoding modulation on the request information, and apply the modulation result to a control signal of the synchronous rectification switching tube Q2 through logic control to control the secondary synchronous rectification and protocol control chip to output a Vdrain signal, the Vdrain signal is represented by different characteristics of a voltage on the secondary winding and a current detection signal on the primary side, the primary side feedback control chip 320 may utilize the current detection module 3214 and the decoding module 3216 to decode the encoded information, recognize the prefabricated request information, and perform output voltage regulation according to the information, Output current regulation or protection, etc.
For better understanding of the principle of the coding logic of the coding module provided by the embodiments of the present invention, the coding logic is described below by way of specific examples. Referring to fig. 8, fig. 8 is a waveform diagram illustrating an encoding duty cycle and a normal duty cycle provided by an embodiment of the present invention.
Wherein, the waveform SR gate represents the control signal of the secondary synchronous rectification and protocol control chip 330 for controlling the on/off of the synchronous rectification switch tube Q2, the waveform SR Vdrain represents the voltage at the drain of the synchronous rectification switch tube Q2 in the secondary synchronous rectification and protocol control chip 330, the waveform SR Isk represents the secondary current, the waveform PSR gate represents the control signal of the primary feedback control chip 320 for controlling the on/off of the power switch tube Q1, the waveform PSR FB represents the output feedback signal for representing the output voltage, Tdemg corresponds to the demagnetization time, and Tring corresponds to the resonance time.
As shown, the difference between the encoding duty cycle (corresponding to the time period t0 to t9, labeled 1) and the normal duty cycle (corresponding to the time period t9 to t13, labeled 0) is mainly that: during the encoding duty cycle, the synchronous rectifier switch Q2 is turned off with a delay (for example, 2us) (refer to fig. 8, during the time period t2 to t3, the dotted line portion of the SR gate waveform), during the delay time period, the secondary side current Isk continues to increase negatively to Isk1 after dropping to zero, at this time, the output voltage of the converter reversely excites the secondary side winding Nsec to store energy, the voltage on the auxiliary winding Naux continues to clamp at Vaux ═ V0 × Naux)/Nsec, after the voltage on the auxiliary winding Naux passes through the voltage division of the voltage dividing resistors R1 and R2, the voltage plateau is maintained at the FB pin, refer to the PSR FB waveform in fig. 8. After the synchronous rectification switch tube Q2 is turned off, the reverse excitation energy at the secondary side is transferred to the primary side, for example, the reverse excitation energy may be transferred to the primary side through the current detection resistor Rs, the parasitic capacitor of the power switch tube Q1, the primary winding Npri and the input capacitor Cbulk, the primary winding Npri is reversely demagnetized, which results in energy backflow, and after demagnetization is completed, the feedback energy charges the junction capacitor (labeled Coss) of the power switch tube Q1 again, so that the drain-source voltage of the power switch tube Q1 is clamped at Vbulk + N Vo. When the flyback switching power supply works in a Quasi-Resonant (QR) mode and the primary side current Ipk is gradually increased to 0, the output feedback signal PSR FB oscillates to the valley bottom, the original Resonant period can be maintained to continue working under light load, and the primary side power switching tube Q1 can be switched on by Zero Voltage (ZVS) under heavy load.
As can be seen from fig. 8, during the coding duty cycle, due to the delayed turn-off of the synchronous rectification switching tube Q2, the falling rate of the falling edge Tf1 of the waveform of the output feedback signal FB at the primary side of the coding duty cycle Is significantly increased compared to the falling rate of the falling edge Tf2 of the waveform of the output feedback signal FB at the normal duty cycle, and the negative voltage of the voltage signal Vcs representing the primary side current Ipk (Vcs Is Ipk Rsense, Rsense Is the detection resistor, Ipk Is the primary side current, i.e., Is in fig. 6) of the coding duty cycle Is significantly different from the negative voltage of the voltage signal Vcs representing the primary side current Ipk at the normal duty cycle.
Therefore, the falling edge of the waveform of the output feedback signal FB and the negative voltage of the voltage signal Vcs representing the primary current can be used as decoding conditions to form a coding working period. During the encoding working period, after demagnetization is finished, when the falling time of the falling edge Tf1 of the waveform of the output feedback signal FB of the encoding working period is less than a certain threshold (e.g., 200ns), and the negative-going signal of the primary side voltage Vcs representing the primary side current is less than a certain threshold (e.g., -200mV) and is maintained for a certain time (e.g., 150ns), it can be determined that there is the request information from the device to be charged and the encoded information needs to be decoded. That is, the decoding module 3216 may begin to prepare to decode and identify the encoded information in subsequent cycles.
In addition, to avoid false detection, the whole encoding can be set to a multi-bit flag bit to prepare for the decoding work of the decoding module at the primary side, for example, encoding to a combination of multiple encoding duty cycles 1 and normal duty cycle 0, and setting an end flag bit after the encoding is finished.
As an example, according to the request information, codes corresponding to different voltages, different currents, and protection request information may be set, for example, when the device to be charged requests to output a voltage of 9V, the code may be set to 11010111, as shown in fig. 9, where fig. 9 shows the corresponding code provided by the embodiment of the present invention when the device to be charged requests to output a voltage of 9V. Specifically, the device to be charged requests to output 9V voltage, so that the code consists of 8 cycles, the first two cycles may be 11 flag bits, the next four cycles may be 0101, which represents that the request information from the device to be charged requires to raise the output voltage to 9V or lower the output voltage to 9V, the last two cycles may be end flag bits 11, and after the end of the end flag bits, the FB pin of the primary side feedback control chip may switch the reference voltage received by the constant voltage control module to Vref _9V to output 9V voltage to the device to be charged.
As an example, the code 11010111 corresponding to the output 9V voltage may be used to set the output voltage as described above, and may also be used to directly set the output current according to a preset rule, for example, the code 11010111 may be used to represent 9V/2A, and after receiving the coded information, the decoding module in the primary feedback control chip may first perform an output voltage request and then perform an output current request, so that the constant current control module may switch Vref _ cc to 2A gear to output 2A current to the device to be charged.
As an example, the output current may also be set separately, for example, a code 11000111 may be used to represent the output current at a voltage of 9V, as shown in fig. 10, where fig. 10 shows a corresponding code provided by an embodiment of the present invention when the device to be charged requests to output a voltage/current of 9V/2A. After receiving the coded information, a decoding module in the primary side feedback control chip decodes the coded information, so that a constant current control module in the primary side feedback control chip can switch a current gear Vref _ cc under the current voltage into a 2A gear, and output 2A current to the equipment to be charged.
As an example, the protection request information may also be transmitted by encoding, for example, when a Universal Serial Bus (USB) data line is pulled out, the charger still operates in a voltage state higher than a voltage state such as 5V, and at this time, if other devices to be charged which do not support fast charging are directly plugged in, the devices to be charged may be damaged, so once the USB data line is pulled out, the output voltage of the switching power supply should be quickly returned to a safe voltage state such as 5V. As shown in fig. 11, fig. 11 shows a code corresponding to a current device to be charged when being pulled out, where the code 11010011 may be used to indicate that a USB data line needs to be protected when being pulled out, and after a decoding module in a primary side feedback control chip receives and decodes encoded information, an FB pin of the primary side feedback control chip may switch a reference voltage of a constant voltage control module in the primary side feedback control chip to Vref _5V to provide a 5V output voltage for the device to be charged. It can be seen that the code corresponding to the protection request information may not be consistent with the code corresponding to the output voltage 5V, that is, a plug-unplugging code may be specially set.
As described above, in order to prevent the encoding time from being long in idle time, after the request information is received through the data lines DP and DN or CC1 and CC2, a certain dummy load may be added to the output side of the secondary side synchronous rectification and protocol control chip, which is equivalent to increasing the load of the switching power supply to increase the switching frequency and reduce the encoding time.
The number of bits of the code length provided in the embodiment of the present invention is not limited, and the number of bits of the code may be set to 8 as described above, however, when the request information from the device to be charged is less, the number of bits of the code may also be reduced, and when the request information from the device to be charged is more, the number of bits of the code may be increased, and a specific logic principle of the code may be as shown in fig. 8.
In summary, the switching power supply provided by the embodiment of the invention can save expensive isolation devices such as optocouplers and capacitors, and in addition, the embodiment of the invention can transmit various information, thereby improving the diversity of information transmission. Based on the existing switching power supply circuit without a communication element such as an optical coupler, the communication mode between the primary side and the secondary side provided by the invention can carry more information (for example, a plurality of bits) according to practical application.
In the foregoing embodiment, an embodiment of the present invention provides a primary side feedback isolation type switching power supply and a primary and secondary side data communication method, where energy may be fed back from a secondary side to a primary side by turning off a synchronous rectification switching tube of the secondary side in a delayed manner, and then a negative current flowing through a primary side winding is detected by using a current detection module of the primary side, which proves that request information from a device to be charged exists, and then a decoding module of the primary side may be used to decode encoded information from the secondary side, so as to establish a communication relationship between the primary side and the secondary side.
The scheme provides a method for realizing communication between the original secondary side without an additional isolation device, specifically, a secondary side synchronous rectification and protocol control chip of a switching power supply encodes request information from equipment to be charged to obtain a binary code, and a current detection module of a primary side feedback control chip identifies the code and decodes the binary code. In the field of rapid charging of a device to be charged, when the device to be charged requests new voltage and current or fails, the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the invention cancels traditional isolation devices such as an optocoupler and a capacitor, and the like, and can encode output voltage, output current, protection request information and the like through a preset encoding rule to obtain a binary code. The switching power supply provided by the embodiment of the invention has the advantages that the cost is reduced, the circuit structure is simplified, and the response speed is improved.

As an example, detecting demagnetization of a primary winding of a transformer based on an output feedback signal includes: and taking the time period from the time when the output feedback signal rises to be larger than the third preset threshold value to the time when the output feedback signal falls to be smaller than the third preset threshold value as the demagnetization time of the primary winding.
As an example, decoding the encoded information based on the demagnetization and the first current detection signal to obtain the request information includes: and when the falling time of the falling edge of the output feedback signal is smaller than a fourth preset threshold and the first current detection signal is smaller than a fifth preset threshold, decoding the coded information to obtain the request information.
