Description

The switching mode direct current regulation circuit
(1) technical field: the present invention relates to the switching mode voltage stabilizer technical field, be specially the switching mode direct current regulation circuit in the switching mode voltage stabilizer.
(2) background technology: switching mode voltage stabilizer mainly is made up of current rectifying and wave filtering circuit and switching mode direct current regulation circuit.Wherein the block scheme of existing switching mode direct current regulation circuit chief component is adjusted pipe and is worked on off state as shown in Figure 1 among Fig. 1.Its voltage stabilizing principle of work is: by the DC voltage V of current rectifying and wave filtering circuit input IBecome square-wave voltage by switch adjustment pipe 1, the effect through wave filter 5 becomes VD V again oBy 8 pairs of output voltage V of sample circuit oSampling voltage and reference voltage 7 through comparison amplifier 6 difference relatively, regulate the width of pulse width modulator 3 pulsating wave of exporting, utilize this to transfer wide type pulse control signal, through driver 2 input switch adjustment pipes 1, gauge tap adjustment pipe conducting and the time that ends: when the output end of stabilized voltage supply external load increases, the pulse control signal pulsewidth of output broadens, and switch adjustment pipe ON time is elongated, output voltage V oDynamically uprise; When external load diminishes, with last inverse process, output voltage V oDynamically step-down has stable voltage output thereby keep power output end.Pulse oscillating device 4 is to the first-class broad pulse control signal of pulse width modulator 3 outputs among Fig. 1.
In Fig. 1 block diagram circuit, V o=V ID, V o, V IBe respectively direct current output, input voltage, D is the dutycycle of pulse width modulator output pulse control signal.Output voltage V oBe directly proportional with the dutycycle D of pulse control signal.
Switching mode mu balanced circuit shown in Figure 1 belongs to transfers the pulse width type mu balanced circuit, and its major advantage is the power attenuation that can reduce to adjust pipe, and the main shortcoming that exists is: one is not suitable for being applied to the DC voltage-stabilizing output of low-voltage, high-current: for V I-V oThe voltage transformation amplitude is big, for example in order to save power transformer, directly the 220V ac voltage rectifier is filtered into high direct voltage, DC input voitage as mu balanced circuit, if load this moment needs the situation of low-voltage, high-current DC voltage-stabilizing output (for example output of the low-voltage and high-current about 1V), adopt Fig. 1 mu balanced circuit, dutycycle D value is very little, it is very short to adjust the pipe ON time, carries only chronicly, and the two differs too big, control very difficult, current ripples can occur this moment and increase, the barretter on-state loss increases synchronously, problems such as direct current transformation voltage stabilizing efficient reduction.Its two, when power source loads changed fast, sample circuit was from output voltage V in Fig. 1 circuit oTake out feedback voltage, through each square frame functional circuit of Fig. 1, up to control to switch adjustment pipe turn on process, the process of whole transmission feedback will consume certain hour, adjustment or variation to output voltage lag behind load variations, can not transient response or summary responses, dynamic less stress or over-control appear in DC voltage-stabilizing output.When the big low-voltage, high-current voltage stabilizing of load variations rate was exported, this phenomenon was even more serious.
(3) summary of the invention: the present invention is directed to above-mentioned shortcoming, another kind of switching mode direct current regulation circuit is provided, it can satisfy the requirement of low-voltage, high-current voltage stabilizing output, and the quick variation of its voltage stabilizing output and power source loads is irrelevant.
Technical scheme of the present invention is as follows:
By DC high-voltage power supply be connected in series first on-off circuit, current limliting buffer circuit and charging capacitor, high-voltage power supply is charged to charging capacitor with the pulsating current form, and the voltage output end of charging capacitor connects output end of pressure-stabilizing; The voltage output end of charging capacitor connects voltage feedback circuit, takes out feedback voltage signal input second switch circuit, the break-make of control second switch circuit, and the output terminal of second switch circuit is connected with another input end of first on-off circuit; The output terminal in control signal source connects another input end of second switch circuit, controls the break-make of first on-off circuit by the second switch circuit.
The principle of DC voltage-stabilizing of the present invention or method are described different fully with background technology, the latter recently regulates voltage stabilizing output by the duty of regulating impulse control signal, the pressure limiting that the present invention controls charging capacitor intermittent charge, intermittent discharge and feedback voltage by DC high-voltage power supply by first on-off circuit is used for regulating voltage stabilizing output, and first on-off circuit is as charge switch.
The conducting of first on-off circuit or control by connecing the second switch circuit by a control signal subject string, second switch circuit be as the control signal switch, the conducting of second switch circuit or by being controlled by the feedback voltage of charging capacitor output voltage.Described control signal is first-class wide pulse signal, and dutycycle is a definite value.During low-voltage, high-current voltage stabilizing output, do not exist the big technology of change in duty cycle described in the background technology to lack limit.The height of its output voltage can realize that the voltage stabilizing output valve can be chosen arbitrarily by the height of adjusting feedback voltage.Therefore the present invention can satisfy the requirement of low-voltage, high-current voltage stabilizing output fully, and can satisfy the requirement of big voltage stabilized range.During high voltage stability output, as long as first on-off circuit has sufficiently high withstand voltage.
The present invention adopts intermittent charge and discharge mode of operation, the electric charge of on-off circuit of flowing through all is used to charge and is consumed in intermittent discharge to load, reactive power consumption is extremely low, voltage stabilizing output efficiency height, when particularly the miniwatt voltage stabilizing is exported (for example 1-10V), by the optimized choice to the switch circuit performance, efficient can reach more than 95%, and the efficient of the switching power supply of existing 1V voltage stabilizing output is generally 87%.
By the above, voltage stabilizing output valve of the present invention only depends on the feedback voltage value, and with the pulsewidth or the independent of duty cycle of control signal, therefore irrelevant with the rate of change of external load, do not exist external load to change less stress or the over-control that causes voltage stabilizing output.The variation of external load only changes the frequency of capacitor charge or discharge.
The present invention can save comparison amplifier in the existing switching mode voltage stabilizer, pulse width modulator, driver etc., has advantage simple in structure, that volume is little, cost is low.
