Technical field:
The present invention relates to a kind of switching regulator circuit.More particularly, the present invention relates to decompression DC to direct current (DC is to DC) Switching Converter Topologies (being also referred to as " step-down switching regulator "), known step-down switching regulator before comparing, provides low noise and programmable restriction to press the function of switching rate.
Background technology:
Fig. 1 has illustrated a known step-down switching regulator, for example, provides a predetermined constant output voltage V from not limited positive voltage input voltage (, battery) outbe used for driving a load R lalthough, just as a resistance, can be also a portable communication device or computer.Step-down switching regulator 10 comprises controlled current source 12, transistor 14 and 16, diode 18, inductance 20, capacitor 22, and control circuit 24.Control circuit 24 produces control signal V r, open and close in desired frequency range control, conventionally in 100-300 KHz.
The operation of step-down switching regulator 10 is as follows: in the beginning of a switch periods, and the V of control signal ruprise, make controlled current source 12 electric current I that leads 1, and make transistor 14 conductings.The base stage of the collector electrode driving transistors 16 of transistor 14, makes transistor 16 conductings.Once transistor 16 conductings, the emitter current of transistor 16 just increases sharply with higher forward current transfer ratio.Along with the revolution of electric current, at inductance input node V sWvoltage is just with a high about V of positive voltage switching rate iNincrease sharply.Diode 18 ends, a V iN-V oUTvoltage V lbe added on inductor 20, switching voltage pulse transition is become to inductive current I l.Inductor 20 and capacitor 22 form a low pass filter eliminates the output voltage V of switching frequency and harmonic component thereof oUT.
Control circuit 24 monitors output voltage V oUTand provide control signal, by changing regulation output voltage V switching time of transistor 16 r(changing the duty ratio of step-down switching regulator, is the time of opening in one-period to account for the percentage in cycle).Especially, work as V rbe low level, controlled current source 12 is closed, and makes transistor 14 and 16 cut-offs.Because transistor 16 ends, the input node voltage V of inductance sWbe dropped rapidly to and be similar to earth potential with a high negative voltage transition speed.Along with voltage revolution, transistorized 16 emitter current declines rapidly with a higher negative current transfer ratio.In addition V, lbecome-V oUT, diode 18 conductings, and produced inductive current I l, and inductance input node V sWremain on and be approximately earth potential, until the control signal of next cycle.
Therefore, in each switch periods, inductance input node V sWswitch is about V iNand between ground.Also have and in switch transition process, obtain overall efficiency and maximize in order to reduce the heating certainly of instantaneous power loss and transistor 16, positive and negative electric current and transistor 16 voltage conversioning rates are higher.But transfer ratio also can produce electromagnetic interference (EMI) fast, be commonly called " noise " and exist to conduct with the form of radiated interference.
The application program of some voltage-releasing voltage stabilizers all needs that noise is low, efficiency is high, as data acquisition system and communication system.Although linear voltage regulator can meet the noise requirements of these application, but linear voltage regulator can not provide required efficiency.Traditional step-down switching regulator can meet the efficiency requirement of such application program, but can not meet low noise requirement.Therefore, need to provide step-down switching regulator circuit, high efficiency is provided, but limited voltage and current transfer ratio also has low noise applications.

Embodiment:
Background of the present invention is provided, describes known step-down switching regulator circuit below in detail.Then the low noise pressurizer of revising on these known voltage stabilizing circuits being disclosed has been described.
A, existing step-down switching regulator
Fig. 2 has shown the step-down switching regulator 70 of an existing current programmed control.Pressurizer 70 is similar to the pressurizer 10 of Fig. 1, has control circuit 24, by resistance 26, and current sense resistor 28, comparator 30, oscillator 32, SR latch 34, divider resistance 36 and 38, controlled current source 40, error amplifier 42, with reference voltage V rEFC.
The operation of pressurizer 70 is as follows: in the beginning of one-period, and 32 oscillator clockings, set latch 34, makes controlled current source 12 generation current I 1thereby, open 14 and 16 transistors.Conversely, approximately voltage V l(V iN-V oUTappear on inductance 20 to increase by the electric current I of inductance l.Diode 18 is closed, and inductive reactance 28 conducts transistor 16 collector currents, approximates inductive current I l.
Approximate (V iN-I l* R 1) V of voltage ibe coupled to the anti-phase input of comparator 30.Error amplifier 42 amplifies reference voltage V rEFCand feedback voltage V fBCdifference produce error voltage vector.Error amplifier 42 provides very high gain (being generally 40-60 decibel).Divider resistance 36 and 38 is according to the output voltage V regulating oUTratio setting V fBC.Error voltage V eCvecter cotpling is to controlling current source 40, by V eCgeneration current I in proportion 2.Resistance 26 conduction current I 2.Voltage V c, equal (V iN-I l* R 2), the noninverting input 30 of being coupled to comparator.
Comparator 30 produces the difference mark (I of output response l* R 1-I 2* R 2).
When time, comparator 16 is output as low level; When time, the output of comparator 30 is high level; As inductive current I lexceed ((R 2/ R 1) * I 2), comparator 30 is exported high level and reset latch 34, and controlled current source 12 is closed, thereby closes transistor 14 and 16.This variation V lapproximately-V oUT, forward bias diode 18, and make inductive current I ldecline, until next clock pulse oscillator 32, set latch 34.
Therefore, in course of normal operation, when transistor is closed, inductance 16 electric current I lexceed electric current I 2and resistance R 1and R 2the predeterminated level ((R arranging 2/ R 1) * I 2).If regulation output voltage V outincrease exceed by divider resistance 36 and 38, reference voltage V rEFC, error voltage V eCand electric current I 2reduce the predetermined steady-state value that arranges, result is exactly, I lbefore switch periods, exceed ((R 2/ R 1) * I 2) instead of in the time of steady operation.Shorten switching time and cause adjustment output voltage V oUTreduce, until reach the steady-state value before it.
But, if the output voltage V regulating oUTdrop to lower than predetermined steady-state value error voltage V eCincrease electric current I 2increase.As a result, the duration that transistor 16 is opened lengthens, because I lexceed ((R 2/ R 1) * I 2), more late in the steady operation time than it in switch periods.The duration that extends switch opens, cause regulation output voltage V oUTincrease until reach former steady-state value.
In addition, existing switching regulator can be realized by Duty ratio control, and wherein pressurizer monitors output voltage, directly sets duty ratio.Fig. 3 has shown so existing Duty ratio control step-down switching regulator 80, operates as follows: the reference voltage V that error amplifier 142 amplifies rEFVand feedback voltage V fBVbetween difference to produce error voltage fixed.Error amplifier 142 provides very high gain (being generally 40-60 decibel).Divider resistance 136 and 138 in proportion with regulate output voltage V oUTv is set fBV.Comparator 130 has a noninverting input coupling error voltage V eV, and anti-phase input is coupled to the output voltage V of saw-toothed wave generator 132 s.
At the beginning of each clock cycle, V slower than V eV, the output of comparator 130 is high level, controlled current source 12 derived current I 1, transistor 14 and diode 16 conductings, diode 18 ends.Approximately V l(V iN-V oUT) voltage appear on inductance 20, make the electric current I by inductance lincrease.Work as V shigher than V eVcomparator 130 is closed controlled current source 12, transistor 14 and 16(diode 18 and is opened).In the current-mode pressurizer 70 of Fig. 2, in output voltage V oUTplace, inductance 20 and electric capacity 22 form a low pass filter eliminates switching frequency and the harmonic wave thereof of element.
In course of normal operation, if regulation output voltage V oUTdrop to lower than by divider resistance 136 and 138, reference voltage V rEFCthe predetermined steady-state value arranging, V eCincrease, therefore at the later stage of clock cycle V sexceed V eV, cause and cause comparator 130 to extend the time of transistor 16 conductings.Therefore, flow through the electric current I of inductance 20 lincrease V oUTincrease until reach former steady-state value.If but V oUTincrease higher than expect steady-state value, V eVreduce, therefore early stage in the clock cycle, V sjust exceed V eV, make comparator 130 shorten the time to transistor 16 conductings.As a result, flow through the electric current I of inductance 20 land V oUTdecline, until it arrives its steady-state value in the past.
The voltage conversioning rate of the existing voltage-releasing voltage stabilizer of Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 is mainly that the characterisitic function of transistor 14 and 16 embodies.Before conducting, the base voltage of transistor 14 is about V in, its collector voltage closely.After conducting, the base voltage of transistor 14 is about (V iN(V bE) transistorized V bEthe about 0.7V of conducting voltage), its collector voltage is about V iN.In the time of switch opens, electric current I 1a big chunk electric charge be full of the relatively large base stage-collector capacitance of transistor 14.This often limit transistor 14 in the switching rate of collector electrode, therefore limited the positive voltage switching rate of transistor 16 and inductance input node V sW.
For closing function, current source 12 is closed, and removes the base current of transistor 14, closes the base current of transistor 14 and cut-out transistor 16.In the time of transistor 14 not conducting, the collector capacitance of transistor 16 is unique drive currents of transistor 16, and is the unique natural limit of negative voltage transition speed.Negative voltage transition speed depends on the current gain (β) of the level of output loading and the transistor of active area 16, conventionally faster than positive voltage switching rate.
Forward current transfer ratio is limited to PNP transistor 14 unit gain frequency (f t) and the β value of transistor 16.In the circuit of Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, negative current transfer ratio is conventionally faster than the switching rate of forward current.In the time that current source 12 and transistor 14 are closed, the product of the collector capacitance of transistor 16 and negative voltage transition speed equals electric current, and it provides the base drive of transistor 16, until node V sWa little less than earth potential and diode 18 conductings.When diode 18 is opened, the base stage of transistor 16 and emitter stop voltage revolution.Therefore, the base stage of driving transistors 16 is approximately zero, and the emitter current of transistor 16 is closed rapidly.This negative current conversion be promptly, uncontrolled.
Fig. 4 has shown the schematic diagram of the step-down switching regulator 90 of the current programmed control of employing of another previously known.Pressurizer 90 is devices 70 of similar Fig. 2, also comprises capacitor 74, diode 76 and 78, and resistor 82 and 84 also has circuit 86.In addition in Fig. 2, control current source 112 and NPN transistor 114 and replace respectively controlled current source 12 and PNP transistor 14.
The class of operation of pressurizer 90 is similar to pressurizer 70, and in order to raise the efficiency, it also has other circuit.Especially, the collector electrode of triode 114 is connected to a mark terminal " BOOST ", and this is to be connected to V oUTelectric capacity 74, diode 76.In course of normal operation, after transistor 16 is closed, V sWlower than earth potential, diode 76 conductings, capacitor 74 is full of, the about V of voltage oUT.In next switch periods, when transistor 16 is opened switch, V sWbecome about V iN, diode 76 conductings, and " BOOST " node is increased to approximately (V iN+ V oUT).Like this, open when transistor 114, its emitter voltage exceedes input voltage.This allows transistor 114 driving transistorss 16 saturated to approaching, thereby reduces to greatest extent the voltage drop of transistor 16 and raise the efficiency.
Driving transistors 16 supersaturation are very inconvenient, because can cause turn-off delay very long.In order to prevent that transistor 16 is too saturated, several known in the industry technology of circuit 86 use itself are just starting to eliminate in saturated the driving of transistor 114 base stages.
Resistance 82 and 84 is coupled to respectively the base-emitter knot of transistor 114 and transistor 16.These resistance contribute to reduce the turn-off time of transistor 114 and 16, and the path of some leakage currents is provided.
B, low noise voltage-releasing voltage stabilizer
Fig. 5 has shown the schematic diagram of the example of a low noise step-down switching regulator of the present invention, in the contactor pressurizer 70 that is similar to Fig. 2, realizes.As mentioned above, transistor 14 and 16 provides the positive voltage slew rate limit characteristic of the step-down switching regulator in Fig. 2 and 3 in essence.Therefore, the example of low noise step-down switching regulator of the present invention comprises the limited characteristic of adjunct circuit negative voltage transition speed and positive and negative current conversion rate.
Particularly, pressurizer 170 comprises negative voltage transition rate limiter circuitry 44, and it is coupling in the V of transistor 16 iNand between base, the slew rate limiter circuit 46 of positive and negative electric current, is coupled to V inwith node V swwith V delectric current inductive sensor 48.Have below more detailed description, in the time that switch disconnects, circuit 44 provides the base drive of transistor 16 to limit negative voltage transition speed.In addition, in switch opens with after closing, circuit 46 is eliminated and is driven, or driving is provided, and transistor 16 is Limited Current positive/negative-pressure switching rate respectively.
Fig. 6 has shown the example of low noise step-down switching regulator in Fig. 5.Negative voltage transition rate limiter circuitry 44 comprises capacitor 50, transistor 52 and 54, resistance 56 and 58.The capacitor 50 of the input of transistor 52 and 54 and a Darlington configuration is coupled, and is then connected to V iN.The slew rate limiter circuit 46 of electric current comprises transistor 60 and 62, current source 64, diode 66.
When transistor 14,16 is connected, at the base voltage of transistor 16 greatly about input voltage, by the electric current I of capacitor 50 c50negligible, resistance 56 and 58, transistor 52 and 54 is closed.Current source 64 conduction current I 3, flow through diode 66.In the base stage of transistor 60 and the voltage approximately equal of emitter, therefore transistor 60 is closed.As described below, the voltage difference V of inductive sensor 48 s1be approximately zero, transistor 62 is closed.
In the time that switch cuts out, transistor 14 is closed, and when the base voltage of transistor 16 starts to decline, capacitor 50 and resistance 56 and 58 start generation current I c50.When resistance 56 voltage drops are greater than V bE, transistor 52 and 54 is opened, and the base drive of supply transistor 16, limits negative voltage transition speed.Because compared transistor 54,52, transistor needs the drive current of hundreds of microampere base stage, and transistor 52 can minimum (1 ×) transistor.On the contrary, due to transistor 54 must supply transistor 16 base stage the drive current of tens milliamperes, transistor 54 must be greater than minimum dimension (for example 10 ×).
Negative voltage transition rate limit is:
( dV dt ) = I c 50 C 50 ≈ V BE / R 56 C 50
V bEtransistorized conducting voltage, C 50capacitor 50, R 56the resistance value of resistance 56.Therefore, to C in circuit 50, R 56assignment, can limit required negative voltage transition speed.
Once at node voltage V sWa value that is stabilized to near-earth electromotive force, the electric current that capacitor 50 produces can be ignored, and therefore transistor 52,54 closes.In the time of the drive current not having deliberately, resistance 58 turn-offs transistor 54, also can prevent that transistor 54 from puncturing.
Induced electricity sensor 48 has a value L 1, in order to induced current rate of change.In the time that electric current turns round, the voltage V of induced electricity sensor s1=(V sN-V d) equal: (dI/dt) be by the current changing rate of inductance 48.
Before closing, transistor 60 base stages and emitter voltage approximately equal, transistor 60 is closed.(dI/dt) by inductance 48 is approximately zero, therefore V s1be approximately zero, transistor 62 is closed.In the time that switch cuts out, the emitter current of transistor 16 starts to reduce.V s1be directly proportional to the negative current rate of change in transistor 16.Work as V s1than less-V bEthe base-emitter voltage of transistor 60 exceedes transistorized conducting voltage, opens the base drive of transistor 60 supply transistors 16, and the switching rate of restriction negative current exists: in the time that switch cuts out, transistor 62 still keeps closing.Because with respect to transistor 16, transistor 60 must supply base stage the drive current of tens milliamperes, for example, so transistor 60 must be greater than minimum dimension (, 10 ×).
Before switch opens, the base stage of transistor 60 and 62 and emitter voltage are about earth potential, and therefore transistor 60,62 is closed.In the time of switch opens, transistor 16 emitter currents increase.V s1be directly proportional to the positive current rate of change of transistor 16.Work as V s1be greater than approximately+V bEtime, transistor 62 is opened, and makes the base current skew of transistor 16, has therefore limited the forward current transfer ratio of pressurizer 270: in the time of switch opens, transistor 60 is still closed.Because transistor 62 must supply transistor 16 base stage the drive current of tens milliamperes, transistor 62 must be greater than minimum dimension (for example, 10 ×).
The slew rate limit of positive and negative electric current is at about identical size (V bE/ L 1).According to this point, inductance L 1value can be selected.
Fig. 7 has shown another example of the step-down switching regulator of Fig. 5.The slew rate limiter circuit 46 of electric current comprises transistor 60,62 and divider resistance 68 and 72.Divider resistance 68 and 72 has equal resistance.
The value of inductive sensor 148 is L 2, in order to induced current rate of change.Under electric current revolution, inductive sensor 148 voltage V s2=(V sW-V d) equal: (dI/dt) be by the current changing rate of inductance 148.
Before switch cuts out, approximate V at the base voltage of transistor 60 bE, lower than the emitter voltage of transistor 60, so transistor 60 is closed.(dI/dt) by inductance 148 is approximately zero, therefore V s2also having the voltage on resistance 68 and 72 is almost zero, and therefore transistor 62 is closed.When switch cuts out, the emitter current of transistor 16 starts to reduce.V s2be directly proportional to the negative current rate of change at transistor 16.Work as V s2be less than (2*V bE), transistorized base-emitter voltage exceedes the conducting voltage of transistor 60, and transistor 60 conductings are with supply transistor 16 base drive, thus the switching rate of restriction negative current: under the state of closing at switch, transistor 62 still keeps closing.
Before opening, the base-emitter voltage of transistor 60 and 62 is approximately zero, and therefore transistor the 60, the 62nd, is closing.In the time of switch opens, transistor 16 emitter currents increase.V s2be directly proportional to transistor 16 positive current rates of change.Work as V s2be greater than (+2*V bE), due to the effect of voltage divider resistance 68 and 72, the base voltage of transistor 62 is about V bE.Transistor 62 is opened, and makes the base current skew of transistor 16, and the positive current rate of change that therefore limits pressurizer 310 exists: in the time of switch opens, transistor 60 still keeps closing.
The slew rate limit of positive and negative electric current is about identical size (2*V bE/ L 2).According to this one-level, inductance L 2value can select.
As shown in Figure 8, the identical negative voltage transition speed and one of description above extremely just, the limiting circuit of a utmost point negative current switching rate, also can in step-down switching regulator 380, realize, comprise Duty ratio control.
Fig. 9 has shown another low noise step-down switching regulator in an example of the present invention, realizes the contactor pressurizer 90 that is similar to Fig. 4.Low noise step-down switching regulator comprises the circuit of the switching rate of the positive and negative voltage conversioning rate of restriction and positive and negative electric current.
Particularly pressurizer 190 comprises the positive and negative voltage conversioning rate limiter circuitry 92 being coupling between transistor 114 base stages and earth potential, is coupled to V iNpositive and negative voltage conversioning rate limiter circuitry 94, the base stage of transistor 114, node V sWwith the V on inductive sensor 248 d.Have more detailed description below, in switch opens with while closing, circuit 92 removes driving from transistor 114 base stages, or the base drive of transistor 114 is provided, and limits respectively positive and negative voltage conversioning rate.In addition,, in switch opens with while closing, circuit 94 removes driving from transistor 114 base stages, or the base drive of transistor 16 is provided, and limits respectively positive and negative voltage conversioning rate.
Figure 10 has shown an illustrative example of the step-down switching regulator of Fig. 9.Voltage conversioning rate limiter circuitry 92 comprises capacitor 88 and resistance 182.The slew rate limiter circuit 94 of electric current comprises transistor 60,62, resistance 68 and 72.Anti saturation circuit 86 comprises resistance 96, NPN transistor 98, PNP transistor 100.
When current source is opened, controlled current source 212 generation current I 5.Electric current I 5to select like this: the base stage of the current supply transistor 114 of nearly half, electric current conduction flow is crossed resistance 182.Electric current I 5second half can give electric capacity 88 charge.Resistance 182 flows through maximum current and approximates (V bE/ R 182), R 182it is the resistance of resistance.Select like this R 182so, (V bE/ R 182) be several times of driving transistors 114 base currents, so (I 5/ 2) be approximately (V bE/ R 182) (for example, several milliamperes).
In the time that transistor 114 and 16 is opened, the base voltage of transistor 114 (with the voltage of capacitor 88) is approximately V iN, by the electric current I of capacitor 88 c88negligible.The base-emitter voltage of transistor 60 is for negative, and therefore transistor 60 is closed.As described below, by inductive sensor L 3voltage V s3be approximately zero, transistor 62 is closed.
In the time that switch disconnects, current source 212 is closed, when the base voltage of transistor 114 starts to be transformed into negative.The electric current I of capacitor 88 c88equal:
I C 88 = C EXT ( dV dt )
C eXTbeing electric capacity 88 electric capacity, is (dV/dt) the negative voltage transition speed in transistor 114 base stages.In closing, provide maximum current to be about (I by capacitor 88 5/ 2), therefore, negative voltage transition rate limit is:
( dV dt ) = - ( I 5 / 2 C EXT ) ≈ - ( V BE / R 182 C EXT )
Before switch opens, node V sWdefinite value is near earth potential, and the voltage of capacitor 88 is approximately zero, I c88inappreciable.At switch connection, current source 212 charges to capacitor 88, and the electric current that departs from of transistor 116 base stages passes through resistance 182, carrys out Limited Current positive voltage switching rate.Positive voltage slew rate limit is:
( dV dt ) = I 5 / 2 C EXT ≈ V BE / R 182 C EXT
Positive and negative voltage slew rate limit is in roughly equal size.Based on this one-level, the value C of circuit eXTcan be set up.
The value of inductive sensor 248 is L 3, in order to induced current rate of change.In the revolution of electric current, flow through the voltage (V of inductive sensor s3=(V sW-V d)) equal:
V S 3 = L 3 * ( dI dt )
(dI/dt) be by the current changing rate of inductance 248.
Before closing, the base-emitter voltage of transistor 60 is for negative, and therefore transistor 60 is closed.(dI/dt) by inductance 248 is approximately zero, therefore V s3be approximately zero, therefore transistor 62 is also closed.In the time that switch cuts out, the emitter current of transistor 16 starts to reduce.V s3be directly proportional to the negative current rate of change of transistor 16.Work as V s3be less than (2*V bE), the base-emitter voltage of transistor 60 exceedes transistorized conducting voltage, and transistor 60 is opened, and the base drive of supply transistor 16 limits the switching rate of negative current:
( dI dt ) ≈ - ( 2 * V BE L 3 )
In the time that switch cuts out, transistor 62 keeps closing.
Before opening, transistorized 60 and 62 base-emitter voltages are approximately zero, and therefore transistor the 60, the 62nd, closes.After switch opens, the emitter current of transistor 16 starts to increase.V s3be directly proportional to the negative current rate of change of transistor 16.Work as V s3be greater than (+2*V bE), transistor 62 conductings, transistor 114 base currents depart from, and have therefore limited the positive current rate of change of pressurizer 290:
( dI dt ) ≈ 2 * V BE L 3
In the time of switch opens, transistor 60 still keeps closing.
The size of positive and negative current changing rate restriction is roughly equal.Based on this point, the value of inductive sensor L3 is to select.
The circuit of deboost switching rate as shown in figure 10 and the switching rate of electric current also can be realized in the step-down switching regulator that comprises Duty ratio control.
The operation of anti saturation circuit 86 is as follows.Before opening, transistor the 98, the 100th, closes.When transistor 114 is opened, its emitter voltage is increased to and exceedes input voltage, and transistor 114 starts driving transistors 16 and approaches saturated.Be greater than the approximately (2*V of collector voltage of transistor 16 at the base voltage of transistor 98 bE) time, transistor 98 and 100 is just opened, and the ideal base drive current of transistor 114 is transferred to earth potential.Resistance 96 arranges the collector emitter voltage V of transistor 16 cE16value is: V cE16≈ V r3
V r3it is the voltage drop of resistance 96.V r3approximate (I 5* R 3), wherein I 5the electric current that controlled current source 212 provides, R 3the resistance of resistor 96.
