Abstract

A modulator of a PWM controller is provided for saving power and reducing acoustic noise in the light load and no load conditions. The maximum on-time is kept as a constant and a bias current of the oscillator in the PWM controller is moderated to achieve the off-time modulation. The bias current is a function of the supply voltage and the feedback voltage, which is derived from a voltage feedback loop. A threshold voltage defines the level of the light load. A limit voltage defines the low level of the supply voltage. A bias current synthesizer generates the bias current. Reducing the bias current increases the off-time of the switching period. Once the feedback voltage is decreased lower than the threshold voltage, the bias current is reduced linearly and the off-time of the switching period is increased gradually. When the supply voltage is lower than the limit voltage, the bias current increases and determines a maximum off-time of the switching period. Keeping the maximum on-time as a constant and increasing the switching period by only increasing the off-time prevents magnetic components, such as inductors and transformers, from being saturated. Furthermore, a control circuit disables the oscillator as the PWM frequency may fall into the audio band, therefore the acoustic noise can be greatly reduced in the light load and no load conditions.

Description

Has the PWM controller that is used to save power and reduces the modulator of noise
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of switching power supply, and more particularly relate to switching power supply pulse width modulation (pulse width modulation, PWM).
Background technology
The PWM controller is that the integrated circuit that switches duty cycle is controlled and regulated to a kind of switching power supply that is used for.When standing the environment adjusting, require the power system design of computer and other electric product to satisfy power management and energy conservation standard.Power management be to operating period consumed power system manage, and during non-operation mode, only consume power seldom.For the power management applications in the power supply unit, the main power of how saving under underload and the immunization with gD DNA vaccine.A target of PWM modulator is province's power consumption of optimization joint and reduces noise when frequency of oscillation falls into sonic-frequency band.
Fig. 1 illustrates and typically speeds to return (flyback) power supply unit circuit, wherein 100 controls of PWM controller and adjusting power output.When the power-on supply, PWM controls startup.Via 220 chargings of 210 pairs of capacitors of resistor, up to the supply voltage V of PWM controller 100 CCReach and start threshold value (start-threshold).PWM controller 100 begins output pwm signals subsequently, and drives whole power supply unit.After startup, the assisted bias winding of transformer 400 (auxiliary biaswinding) provide supply voltage V via rectifier 230 CC Resistor 240 is the voltage signal that is used for PWM control and power overload protection with the switch current information translation of transformer 400.In case the boost voltage of transformer 400 can't be provided for supply voltage V CCEnough power so that supply voltage V CCBe lower than outage threshold (stop-threshold), thereby close PWM controller 100.Feedback voltage V FBBe taken from the output of optical coupler 250.The input of optical coupler 250 is connected to the output V of power supply via resistor 290 and Zener diode 280 O, to form feedback loop.Via the control of feedback loop, voltage V FBT turn-on time via PWM controller 100 control pwm signals ONDuration, and the decision power output.
The power loss of power supply unit is an important problem, and the main loss and the switching frequency F that comprise magnetic core of transformer loss, transistor handoff loss and buffer (snubber) power loss are proportional.Switching cycle T is the inverse of switching frequency F, T=1/F.Increase the loss of switching cycle T cpable of lowering power.Yet, be the size that prevents that transformer is saturated and dwindle power supply unit, necessarily require short T turn-on time ONWork as T ONDuration when unrestricted, magnet assembly (for example inductor and transformer) will cause saturated generation, and will cause the overstress of switching device shifter (for example transistor and rectifier) to damage (over-stress damage).Though the power consumption of power supply unit will reduce in response to reducing of switching frequency F, when switching frequency falls into sonic-frequency band (for example 200Hz to 8KHz) under underload and immunization with gD DNA vaccine, will produce audible noise.Therefore another target is to reduce noise under underload and immunization with gD DNA vaccine when switching frequency falls into sonic-frequency band.
Disclosed the certain methods that increases regulator efficiency in the prior art, for example changed switching frequency and enter " pulse-skip (pulse-skipping) " pattern according to loading condition.For example, United States Patent (USP) the 6th, 100, No. 675 " SWITCHING REGULATOR CAPABLE OF INCREASINGREGULATOR EFFICIENCY UNDER LIGHT LOAD " discloses a kind of oscillation frequency control circuit, and it can change the frequency of oscillation of pierce circuit in response to loading condition.And at United States Patent (USP) the 6th, 366, disclose another kind of method in 070B1 number " SWITCHING VOLTAGE REGULATOR WITH DUAL MODULATIONCONTROL SCHEME ", it has disclosed the adjuster that uses three kinds of operator schemes, this adjuster is operated with constant switching frequency under the heavy duty situation, under the medium load situation, use the double modulation controlling mechanism, and under light load condition, enter " pulse-skip ".The shortcoming of aforementioned prior art is: (1) changes switching frequency and does not limit and may cause the saturated of magnet assembly maximum turn-on time, and causes the overstress of switching device shifter (for example transistor and rectifier) to damage; (2) modulation of switching frequency is controlled by loading condition only, and and independent of power voltage.Because in order to save more power, so switching frequency can fall lowly excessively, so the assisted bias winding of transformer or inductor may not provide enough power to be used for the supply voltage of PWM controller under underload and immunization with gD DNA vaccine.PWM is controlled in this case and may works improperly.Therefore, frequency modulation(FM) is associated with two kinds of loading conditions and supply voltage; (3) under underload and immunization with gD DNA vaccine, switching frequency may be reduced to sonic-frequency band.If magnet assembly does not flood (impregnated) well, the sonic-frequency band switching frequency may produce noise so.
For preventing the above shortcoming of prior art, need preferably a kind of and muting device is used to improve efficient and saves power consumption under underload and immunization with gD DNA vaccine.
