Abstract
本发明是有关于一种具有节能调制器的ZCS(零电流切换)不连续模式功率因数校正控制器。控制器经由其反馈电阻器和寄生二极管来启用，因此不需要启动电阻器。为了要实现ZCS，当断开切换信号时，在下一切换周期开始前，将电感器电流释放到零。为了减少轻负载条件下的切换频率，在每个切换周期开始前插入关闭时间延迟。关闭时间延迟被调制成反馈电压和电源电压的函数。当电源电压低于限制电压时，将减少关闭时间延迟以抑制切换频率的减少而防止低电源电压。切换频率根据负载的减少而减少。因此，降低了轻负载和无负载条件下的切换损耗和功率消耗。
The present invention relates to a ZCS (zero current switching) discontinuous mode power factor correction controller with an energy-saving modulator. The controller is enabled via its feedback resistor and parasitic diode, so no startup resistor is required. In order to achieve ZCS, when the switching signal is disconnected, the inductor current is released to zero before the next switching cycle begins. In order to reduce the switching frequency under light load conditions, a shutdown time delay is inserted before the start of each switching cycle. The shutdown time delay is modulated as a function of the feedback voltage and the power supply voltage. When the power supply voltage is lower than the limit voltage, the shutdown time delay will be reduced to suppress the reduction of the switching frequency and prevent low power supply voltage. The switching frequency is reduced according to the reduction of the load. Therefore, the switching loss and power consumption under light load and no load conditions are reduced.
Description
Technical field
(power factor correction, PFC) controller and method of operation thereof particularly relate to a kind of discontinuous mode power factor correction controller and its method of operation that is used to have energy-saving modulator to the present invention relates to a kind of power factor correction.
Background technology
The topology of boosting (boost topology) is all integrated and utilized to most of power factor correction technologies, and it can be operated with continuous and discontinuous inductor current pattern under fixing or changeable switch frequency.Owing to apply and operate low peak current, therefore the continuous inductor current pattern with fixedly switching frequency operation is used for higher-power applications.For the application below 250 watts, use the discontinuous inductor current pattern of changeable switch frequency operation that several advantages are provided, comprise midget inductor, low cost, simple circuit and zero current switch (zero current switching, ZCS).The pulse duration of power factor correction (PFC) controller is controlled by voltage error amplifier, and it is compared with the sawtooth waveform that is produced by controller.Pulse duration changes along with line input and loading condition, is constant in half line input cycle (line cycle) but should keep.Therefore, voltage error amplifier is necessary to have the lower frequency bandwidth that is lower than the line incoming frequency.
ZCS comprises several advantages in application.An advantage is that before next switching cycle begins inductor current must be discharged into zero, and this produces high switching efficiency.Because the variation of inductor current equals the peak value inductor current, and electric current all begins in each cycle and turns back to zero, so current waveform has triangle, its mean value equals half of product that peak current multiply by its time.Therefore peak current will limit and just be the twice of average current.Because ZCS just switches on the edge of continuous and discontinuous current-mode, so will be in variable switching frequency operation.By line input and output load decision, the pulse duration of switching signal is modulated, and switching frequency can step-down for the heavy duty condition and response light-load conditions and uprising.Low bandwidth pulse width modulation (pulse wave width modulation, PWM) in conjunction with ZCS so that the power factor correction of input current nature to be provided.
In recent prior art, researched and developed the discontinuous current power factor correction controller of various ZCS at Power Factor Correction Control.Wherein, power factor correction controller comprises the ST6561 of French ST-Microelectronics company; The MC34262 of Colorado ON-Semiconductor company; And the TDA4862 of German Siemens company.All these controllers all are designed under light-load conditions and/or no-load condition with high frequencies of operation.The handoff loss and the switching frequency of power converter and power factor correcting step-up device are proportional, and wherein the power consumption and the inductor loss of the handoff loss of switching transistor, buffer (snubber) increase along with higher switching frequency.The shortcoming of the controller of front is under the high frequencies of operation under the light-load conditions, power converter is difficult to satisfy energy-conservation requirement, therefore, especially for underload and no-load condition, be desirable to provide a kind of power factor correction controller, its holding power factor correcting function and low power consumption is provided under underload.
Summary of the invention
The object of the present invention is to provide a kind of zero current to switch (ZCS) discontinuous mode power factor correction controller, so that the high efficiency power factor correction to be provided, and under light-load conditions, reduce the power consumption of power factor correction controller.
Another object of the present invention is to exempt startup resistor, to have saved power.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a kind of peak power output of power-limiting factor correcting controller that is used for so that the method for low-voltage variation to be provided.
The present invention relates to ZCS discontinuous mode power factor correction controller.When the line input voltage was applied to power factor correction converter, the feedback resistor of controller and parasitic diode started described controller.In case controller is enabled, transistor will switch feedback resistor, makes it become the voltage divider of voltage feedback loop.
For power factor correction, external resistor is used to determine the maximum turn-on time of switching signal, has therefore limited peak power output.When turn-offing switching signal, before next switching cycle begins, inductor current will be discharged into zero, and this has realized ZCS.
In order to reduce the switching frequency of light-load conditions, before beginning, inserts each switching cycle the shut-in time delay.Feedback voltage and the supply voltage obtained from voltage feedback loop are regarded as variable.Shut-in time postpones to be modulated to the function of feedback voltage and supply voltage.Threshold voltage is constant, and it defines underloaded level.
The low level of deboost definition supply voltage.In case feedback voltage reduces and is lower than threshold voltage, the shut-in time delay will correspondingly increase.When supply voltage was lower than deboost, the shut-in time postponed to reduce to suppress the minimizing of switching frequency, therefore, thereby prevents low supply voltage.Switching frequency reduces according to the minimizing of load.
Therefore, this has reduced handoff loss and power consumption under underload and the no-load condition.

Referring to Fig. 4, it illustrates the circuit of the preferred embodiment of signal SAW shown in Fig. 3 and PULSE.Described circuit comprises comparator 217, NAND gate 250, transistor 232, current source 310, capacitor 242 and set-reset flip-floop 229.Illustrate the electric current I T1 of current source 310 among Fig. 5.Switching signal PWM is applied to an input terminal of NAND gate 250.The lead-out terminal of NAND gate 250 is applied to the gate terminal of transistor 232.In case switching signal PWM is high, transistor 232 promptly is disconnected.The electric current I T1 of current source 310 begins capacitor 242 is charged and produce the SAW signal of sawtooth waveform in capacitor 242.The switching signal PWM that closes will connect transistor 232, and then capacitor 242 be discharged.The SAW signal is applied to negative input end of comparator 217, and the 4th threshold voltage VR4 is applied to the positive input terminal of comparator 217, and be the PULSE signal on the lead-out terminal of comparator 217 then, it is applied to set-reset flip-floop 229.The output of set-reset flip-floop 229 is applied to another input terminal of NAND gate 250.As shown in Figure 3, if the output voltage V COM of error amplifier 205 is lower than the SAW voltage of signals, or being higher than the 3rd threshold voltage VR3 from the voltage of current-sense terminal, it can close switching signal PWM so for the overcurrent threshold voltage under the overcurrent condition.If it is high that switching signal PWM keeps, as long as SAW voltage of signals level is higher than the 4th threshold voltage VR4, the sawtooth waveform of SAW signal will be discharged so.
