The "electrical connection" in the embodiments of the present application may be a direct connection or an indirect connection, that is, a circuit between two ends of the electrical connection is further connected with other devices.

In an AC-DC (Alternating Current-Direct Current) power adapter with a power of 1-100 w, a common circuit topology is a Flyback (Flyback) circuit, and a modified topology based on the Flyback circuit, such as a quasi-resonant Flyback (Quasi Resonant Flyback, QR Flyback) circuit, an active clamp Flyback (Active Clamping Flyback, ACF) circuit, and the like.

In a related aspect, as shown in the flyback circuit 10 of fig. 1, a first terminal of the capacitor C1 is grounded, and a second terminal is electrically connected to Vin; the clamp circuit includes: c2, R1, R2, and D1, wherein the capacitor C2 is connected in parallel with the resistor R1, connected in series with the resistor R2 and the diode D1, the first end of the capacitor C2 is electrically connected with Vin, the second end is electrically connected with the first end of the resistor R2, the first end of the resistor R1 is electrically connected with Vin, the second end is electrically connected with the first end of the resistor R2, the second end of the resistor R2 is electrically connected with the first end of the diode D1, the second end of the diode D1 is electrically connected with the first pole of the transistor Q1, and the first end of the transistor Q1 is the drain electrode; the second electrode source of the transistor Q1 is electrically connected with the first end of the resistor R3, and the second end of the resistor R3 is grounded; a first end of the primary winding (i.e., the upper left winding) is electrically connected to Vin, and a second end of the primary winding is electrically connected to the first pole drain of transistor Q1; the first end of the auxiliary winding (namely, the winding at the lower left) is electrically connected with the first end of the diode D2, the second end of the auxiliary winding is grounded, the second end of the diode D2 is electrically connected with Aux Vcc, the first end of the capacitor C3 is grounded, and the second end of the capacitor C3 is electrically connected with Aux Vcc; the first end of the secondary winding (namely the right winding) is grounded, the second end of the secondary winding is electrically connected with the first end of the diode D3, the second end of the diode D3 is electrically connected with Vout, the first end of the capacitor Cout is grounded, and the second end of the capacitor Cout is electrically connected with Vout; the principle of the flyback circuit 10 is as follows:

(1) When the transistor Q1 is turned on, the current of the primary winding (i.e., the upper left winding) of the transformer T1 (i.e., the magnetic core) increases, and at the same time, the magnetomotive force on the magnetic core of the transformer also increases with the increase of the current of the primary winding;

(2) When the transistor Q1 is turned off/cut off, the current of the primary winding of the transformer T1 is rapidly reduced to 0, magnetomotive force on a magnetic core of the transformer cannot be suddenly changed, so that currents with corresponding magnitudes are induced in the secondary winding (namely a winding which is changed right) and the auxiliary winding (namely a winding which is changed left), the current magnitude is inversely proportional to the winding turns ratio, and the transmission of energy from the primary winding to the secondary winding and the auxiliary winding is realized;

(3) Because leakage inductance of the transformer exists, energy is transmitted from the primary winding to the secondary winding, not 100% is transmitted, but a small part of energy is transmitted to a primary circuit (namely a circuit consisting of the primary winding, Q1 and R3) through the leakage inductance of the primary winding, so that a large impulse voltage is caused, and the Q1 is in overvoltage risk, and therefore a clamping circuit consisting of C2, R1, R2 and D1 is adopted to consume the energy on the leakage inductance;

(4) Each switching cycle, the auxiliary winding draws a portion of the energy from the core that is used to power the controller of the flyback circuit and the drive circuit of Q1.

Because of the leakage inductance of the transformer, the energy accumulated on the primary winding due to the fact that the primary winding of the transformer cannot be transferred to the secondary winding or the auxiliary winding in each switching cycle needs to be consumed, and a traditional flyback circuit is used for absorbing the energy by a circuit consisting of a resistor R, a capacitor C and a diode D and converting the energy into heat energy. However, the conventional flyback circuit consumes energy on the leakage inductance, and the auxiliary winding is required to extract energy from the magnetic core to maintain the power supply of the flyback controller and the Q1 driving circuit, so that the energy transmission efficiency is low.

An exemplary application of the embodiments of the present application in a practical application scenario will be described below.

The embodiment of the application provides an improved topology based on a novel flyback circuit, which is based on a most basic flyback circuit, and improves an auxiliary power supply part and a clamping circuit part; the flyback circuit provided by the embodiment of the application can use the energy on the leakage inductance to maintain the power supply of the controller of the flyback circuit and the Q1 driving circuit, namely, the leakage inductance energy is provided for the control unit 203, so that a part of energy loss is saved.

In the flyback circuit 20, as shown in fig. 16, a first end of a capacitor C3 (i.e., a third capacitor 211) is grounded, a second end of the capacitor C3 is electrically connected to Vin (i.e., a first power supply end 201), a first end of a primary winding (i.e., a winding on the left side of the magnetic core T2, i.e., a first electromagnetic winding 2021) is electrically connected to Vin, and a second end of the primary winding is electrically connected to a first electrode of a transistor Q2 (i.e., a transistor 2022), wherein the first electrode of the transistor Q2 is a drain electrode; the second end of the primary winding is also electrically connected to the first end of zener diode Z1 (i.e., zener diode 2052); the second end of the zener diode Z1 is electrically connected to the diode D4 (i.e., the first diode 2053), the second end of the diode D4 is electrically connected to the first end of the resistor R5 (i.e., the first resistor 2054), and the second end of the resistor R5 is electrically connected to the Aux Vcc (i.e., the second power supply end 204); the second end of the resistor R5 is also electrically connected to the first end of the capacitor C4 (i.e., the second capacitor 2055), and the second end of the capacitor C4 is grounded; aux Vcc is electrically connected to a first terminal of a low dropout linear regulator (i.e., LDO 208), a second terminal of the low dropout linear regulator is electrically connected to a control unit (i.e., control unit 202), and the control unit is electrically connected to a third gate of transistor Q2; the second pole of the transistor Q2 is electrically connected to the first end of the resistor R4 (i.e., the second resistor 2023), wherein the second pole of the transistor Q2 is a source, and the second end of the resistor R4 is grounded; the first end of the secondary winding (i.e., the winding to the right of the magnetic core T2, i.e., the second electromagnetic winding 2061) is grounded, the second end of the secondary winding is electrically connected to the first end of the diode D5 (i.e., the second diode 2063), the second end of the diode D5 is electrically connected to Vout (i.e., the voltage output segment 207), the first end of the capacitor C4 is grounded, and the second end of the capacitor C4 (i.e., the first capacitor 2064) is electrically connected to Vout.

It can be appreciated that the flyback circuit 20 provided in the embodiments of the present application reduces the auxiliary windings and changes the position of the clamping circuit 205 compared to the conventional flyback circuit 10; specifically, the clamp 205 is placed between the drain of Q2 and PGND, so that leakage inductance energy can be used for auxiliary power supply (controller power supply and driving circuit power supply), i.e., leakage inductance energy is supplied to the control unit 203 instead of directly converting this energy into heat energy for consumption, and energy is extracted from the magnetic core T2 by the auxiliary winding to be supplied to the control unit 203; this reduces the loss caused by "absorbing leakage inductance energy", and at the same time, the auxiliary winding is not required to extract energy from the magnetic core T2 to supply the energy to the control unit 203, thereby reducing the energy loss and improving the energy transmission efficiency.

Compared to the conventional flyback circuit 10, the flyback circuit 20 provided in the embodiment of the present application has a higher Aux Vcc voltage and is used with the LDO 208, that is, the Aux Vcc is connected to the input of the LDO 208, and the output of the LDO 208 is connected to the auxiliary power supply (the controller power supply and the driving circuit power supply), that is, the output is connected to the control unit 203.

It will be appreciated that the present application replaces the original clamp 205 and auxiliary windings with a "modified clamp 205+ldo 208", reduces the auxiliary windings, improves the efficiency of energy transfer from the primary winding to the secondary winding, and simplifies the transformer design, wherein the transformer comprises: first winding 2021, magnetic core T22062, and second winding 2061.

It can be understood that, in the embodiment of the present application, the comparator 209 is connected between the second power supply terminal 204 and the LDO 208, and when the input voltage is detected to be greater than or equal to the first voltage, the comparator 209 outputs a high voltage, and the LDO 208 operates at this time, and the LDO 208 converts the input voltage into an operating voltage of the control unit 202 and provides the operating voltage to the control unit 202; when the input voltage is detected to be greater than or equal to the first voltage, the comparator 209 does not output the voltage, and the LDO 208 does not operate at this time; thus, the working time of the LDO 208 can be reduced, and the working efficiency of the LDO 208 can be improved.

As a possible embodiment, the flyback circuit 20 may also be connected to the second terminal of the diode D5 (i.e. the load circuit 210), so as to prevent the excessive leakage inductance energy, which is not absorbed by the Aux Vcc completely, and thus the overvoltage problem of the switching tube
