Abstract

A linear predictive system for a DC-DC converter including a linear predictive controller, first and second adders and a multiplier. The DC-DC converter generates an output signal and includes a digital compensation block that converts a feedback error signal into a main duty cycle signal. The linear predictive controller predicts linear changes of the main duty cycle signal in response to changes of the output signal and provides a predictive duty cycle signal. The first adder subtracts the predictive duty cycle signal from the main duty cycle signal to provide a duty cycle delta. The multiplier multiplies the duty cycle delta by a gain factor to provide a duty cycle delta sample. The second adder adds the duty cycle delta sample to the first duty cycle signal to generate an adjusted duty cycle signal. The linear predictive controller performs an inverse function of DC-DC conversion approximated to the first order.

Description of drawings
With reference to following discussion and the accompanying drawing effect that the present invention may be better understood, performance and advantage.Accompanying drawing comprises:
Fig. 1 is the block diagram with power-supply system of the linear predictive controller of exemplary embodiments according to the present invention.
Embodiment
Following description makes the skilled artisan in this area can realize and use the present invention who is provided in specific application and its range of needs.Yet, all will be conspicuous concerning the skilled artisan of this area to the various improvement of preferred embodiment, and General Principle defined herein can be applied to other embodiment.Therefore, the present invention is not intended to limit the specific embodiment that this paper is shown and describe, and is intended to and principle presently disclosed and novel features the most wide in range corresponding to scope.
Linear predictive controller according to an embodiment of the invention allows to use the inductor of high numerical value under low-frequency switching, so that raise the efficiency and keep transition numerical value to be under the permissible level simultaneously.The invention provides the ability that has very fast stabilization time and do not need to increase bandwidth.
Fig. 1 is the block diagram of PWM power-supply system 100 with linear predictive controller of the exemplary embodiments according to the present invention.The loop of a standard comprises a combiner 101 (such as, accumulator), and it has the normal phase input end and the inverting input that receives output signal VOUT that receive reference voltage VREF.Combiner 101 deducts VOUT from VREF, to produce a feedback error signal ER, this signal can offer an input of digital compensation module 103.Digital compensation module 103 receives the ER signals and produces a duty cycle D at its output.Ignore combiner 105, duty ratio D offers an input of DC-DC converter, and wherein the DC-DC converter can DC-DC mode module 107 be represented.DC-DC mode module 107 receives D signal (a perhaps one version), and produces the VOUT signal according to the D signal.The transfer function of digital compensation module 103 and DC-DC mode module 107 is respectively Gc and GPT (z).
In an exemplary embodiments, the D duty cycle signals has by digital compensation module 103 determined duty ratios, so that adjust VOUT according to VREF.In the operation of standard, digital compensation module 103 produces the D signal with duty ratio according to the ER signal, attempts to adjust VOUT based on VREF.DC-DC mode module 107 generates the VOUT signal according to the duty ratio of D signal, and with the inverting input of VOUT signal feedback to combiner 101, to finish substantially or mainly to change loop.At least one problem relevant with this standard configuration is, digital compensation module 103 is relatively slow, and this has just reduced the adjustment efficient of VOUT.Can under the condition that increases cost, come raising speed by bandwidth and the response that increases fundamental system.
Increase a prediction module 109 with transfer function GPre (z), it has the input and the output that prediction duty cycle signals PDC is provided that receive the VOUT signal, and this output is provided for the anti-phase input of another combiner 111.Combiner 111 has and is coupled to the input that digital compensation module 103 outputs are used to receive the D signal.The output of combiner 111 offers multiplier or has the gain module 113 of constant-gain factor k, also has an output that offers another combiner 105 normal phase input ends.And this D signal offers the normal phase input end of combiner 105, and this combiner 105 superposes the output of D signal and gain module 113, to generate a duty cycle signals DTC who offers the adjustment of DC-DC mode module 107.
The transfer function GPre of predictor module 109 (z) is equivalent to the 1/G that is approximately first rank PT(z), wherein, 1/G PT(z) be the transfer function of DC-DC mode module 107.Thereby predictor module 109 is carried out DC-DC mode module 107 contrafunctional quick and simplify versions, thereby and the required duty ratio of the actual VOUT signal of prediction generating.Input that it should be noted that DC-DC mode module 107 is a duty ratio, and its output then is output voltage VO UT, and the input of predictor module 109 is output voltage VO UT, and its output then is prediction duty ratio PDC.Because inverse function is approximately first rank, so it can be carried out and the response of the obvious faster ground of comparable main loop predictive loop very apace.From D, deduct this PDC, so that expression D to be provided the duty ratio difference or the duty ratio increment of signal errors.For negative feedback, PDC deducts from D, thereby the negative duty ratio increment of add-back loop should be able to correction error in theory.Gain module 113 multiplies each other duty ratio increment and gain factor k for the stability of loop, and its result is added on the D signal, is used for the correction of loop.
The duty ratio of supposing D signal when time t=0 is " D ", and it has the VOUT=V of being output as, and then the output of predictor module 109 also should be at identical duty ratio " D ".Yet, if the voltage of VOUT increases to VOUT+v, wherein, the incremental voltage of " v " expression VOUT changes, then the output of predictor module 109 is D+ " d " at " D " at first, and wherein, the increment that " d " expression response VOUT increment changes at predictor module 109 outputs changes.Yet the output of digital compensation module 103 slowly still is in the duty ratio of D.Combiner 111 deducts D+d from D, with the duty ratio increment " d " that obtains bearing, it and gain factor k multiply each other, for combiner 105 provides-kd.Combiner 105 with produced-kd is superimposed to D, changes over D-kd with the duty ratio with the DTC signal.Like this, predictor module 109 is reacted than digital compensation module 103 fasterly, with the variation of response output variation prediction duty ratio, thereby more closely adjusts the VOUT signal.
Predictor module 109 provide one more efficiently feedback control loop predict desirable duty ratio, and change duty ratio into correction numerical value in the mode of more accelerating than digital compensation module 103 slowly.Gain factor " k " can be selected at the stability of loop, and between 0 and 1, usually less than 1.Predictor module 109 has linear response, because it has ignored the factor of higher-order, and therefore may be comparatively inaccurate to the bigger variation of duty ratio.If directly deduct the unsteadiness that the duty ratio increment may cause VOUT.On the contrary, the gain factor k part that prediction changes that is merely able to sample in duty ratio, and with this partial stack to the loop significantly to reduce the error of linear prediction.Can be in order to have faster response by linear predictor module 109 compensation DTC signals, make power-supply system 100 more to respond the variation among the VOUT with accelerating and be tending towards new stable state.
Hope can adopt digitial controller or analog controller to be realized.
Though the present invention is described in detail with reference to above-mentioned some embodiment, other various version and variation all are possible and desired.Skilled artisan in this area is to be appreciated that can be under the condition that does not deviate from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and conduct provides the identical purpose of the present invention other structure Design and improved basis in addition with specific embodiments easily to use disclosed notion.
