The reliability of the switching power supply directly influences the reliability of the whole system, in order to continuously improve the reliability of the whole system, the scene of using a plurality of power supplies in parallel is widely adopted by the application end of the system, so that the risk brought to the system by the failure of a single power supply is reduced
Firstly, a plurality of power supplies are simply connected in parallel through diodes, the mode is simple to apply, when one power supply fails, the diodes are naturally isolated, the output of other power supplies is not influenced, and an additional control device is hardly needed. However, as the output power of the power supply is increased by the system, the problems of loss and heat generation of the forward voltage drop band of the diode are directly highlighted, and the efficiency and the power density of the whole power supply are directly influenced and limited.

The zener diode ZD201 can keep the voltage at two ends of the zener diode ZD201 constant when the power voltage fluctuates or the voltage at each point in the circuit fluctuates due to other reasons.
The working principle of the present invention's Oring-FET turn-off circuit is explained in detail below with reference to the schematic circuit diagram of FIG. 2:
the third pin of the transistor Q209 is connected to the drain of the NMOS transistor Q206 (i.e., the output bus), and the first pin of the transistor Q209 is connected to the source of the NMOS transistor Q206 (i.e., the power supply output) because the voltage of the power supply output is higher than the voltage of the output bus, i.e., the source voltage of the NMOS transistor Q206 is higher than the drain voltage, so that when the NMOS transistor is turned on in the forward direction, it is first turned on through the body diode of the NMOS transistor Q206, which causes the Vsd voltage drop of the NMOS transistor Q206.
For convenience of description, the transistor Q209 is embodied as the first NPN transistor and the second NPN transistor.
When the power supply normally works, the voltage (+12V) of the output bus is not changed, then the voltage of the collector (third pin) of the second NPN triode is +12V, because the second NPN triode has conduction voltage drop (e.g., 0.7V), the voltage of the base (fifth pin) of the second NPN triode is 12.7V, and because the base and the emitter (the fifth pin and the fourth pin) of the second NPN triode are shorted, the second NPN triode is cut off. Further, the base of the first NPN transistor is connected to the base (the second pin and the fifth pin) of the second NPN transistor, so that the voltage of the base of the first NPN transistor is also maintained at 12.7V. Firstly, the body diode of the NMOS transistor Q206 is turned on to cause Vsd voltage drop of the NMOS transistor Q206, when the NMOS transistor Q206 is linearly turned on, the output current of the NMOS transistor Q206 increases, and then the Vsd voltage drop of the NMOS transistor Q206 increases to cause the voltage of the emitter (first pin) of the first NPN transistor to increase, and when the output current increases to a certain value, the first NPN transistor is turned off, and then the auxiliary power supply (30VCC) can be output to the gate of the NMOS transistor Q206 through the resistor R207 and the diode D214, so that the NMOS transistor Q206 is normally turned on.
When the power module is short-circuited and failed, the voltage of the output bus is increased, that is, the voltage of the collector (third pin) of the second NPN transistor is increased, and the voltage of the base (second pin and fifth pin) of the corresponding first NPN transistor and the base (second pin and fifth pin) of the second NPN transistor is also increased, and at this time, the voltage of the base (second pin) of the first NPN transistor is greater than the voltage of the emitter (first pin), and the first NPN transistor is turned on, so that the voltage of the anode of the diode D214 is pulled down, and the diode D214 is turned off, so that the auxiliary power supply (30VCC) is applied to the base of the PNP transistor Q208 through the resistor R207, and therefore the Ibe current of the Q208 is amplified to Ice, and the driving voltage of the gate of the NMOS transistor Q206 is quickly pulled down to be equal to the voltage of the source thereof through the collector and the emitter of the PNP transistor Q208, and the NMOS transistor Q206 is quickly turned off.
To sum up, the utility model discloses an auxiliary turn-off circuit promotes drive circuit's driving force when certain power module short circuit became invalid to field effect transistor that the quick control corresponds turns off, avoids influencing the normal output of other parallel operation power, leads to system bus voltage unusual.
Correspond and the utility model discloses the above-mentioned embodiment provides the Oring-FET turn-off circuit, the utility model also provides a redundant parallel operation electrical power generating system.
As shown in fig. 3, the redundant parallel power supply system includes: the output end of each power supply module 100 is connected with the output bus through an Oring-FET turn-off circuit 200 respectively.
The Oring-FET turn-off circuit 200 herein may be any of the Oring-FET turn-off circuits of the previous embodiments.
Alternatively, the power module 100 includes, but is not limited to: the power supply comprises an AC-DC power supply module and a DC-DC power supply module.
The output terminal of each power module 100 is connected to the input terminal of its respective Oring-FET turn-off circuit 200, and the output terminal of the Oring-FET turn-off circuit 200 is connected to an output bus, which can be connected to a system terminal and supply power.
When the redundant parallel power system works normally, all the power modules 100 can work normally, and each power module 100 provides a voltage slightly higher than the output bus for the input end of the respective Oring-FET turn-off circuit 200. At this time, the field effect transistor in the Oring-FET turn-off circuit 200 is turned on, and the power supply module 100 charges the output bus.
When a power module 100 fails due to short-circuit, the field effect transistor in the Oring-FET turn-off circuit 200 corresponding to the failed power module 100 is rapidly turned off. Therefore, the influence on the normal output of other parallel operation power supplies can be avoided, the system bus voltage is abnormal, and the power supply reliability and stability of the system are improved.
It is to be understood that the foregoing examples merely represent preferred embodiments of the present invention, and that the description thereof is more specific and detailed, but not intended to limit the scope of the invention; it should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, the above technical features can be freely combined, and several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, which all belong to the protection scope of the present invention; therefore, all changes and modifications that come within the meaning and range of equivalency of the claims are to be embraced within their scope.
