Figure 1 shows that a canonical system 100, this system comprises an enable circuits 104 and an associated adjustment circuit 102.Regulating circuit 102 can be the circuit of any type, and for example a synchronous rectifier converter comprises an energy-storage travelling wave tube 106, for example an electric capacity.Usually, the electric charge on the enable circuits 104 monitoring energy-storage travelling wave tubes 106, and when the electric charge on the energy-storage travelling wave tube was lower than a reference charge, making regulating circuit 102 was one second state from one first state exchange.This first state can be the state of any type, for example one closes electricity condition, and this second state also can be the state of any type, a duty for example, and wherein regulating circuit 102 is controlled by a special control technology.This reference charge should be selected according to the sensitivity of this special system and related elements.In one embodiment, this reference charge can be 3.0 volts.
Enable circuits 104 has an input end 107 to be used for receiving a signal Vdsch, an acceptable reference charge value of this signal indication energy-storage travelling wave tube 106.Enable circuits 104 can have another input end 109 to be used for receiving a logic control signal chginh.When at least one non-energy-storage travelling wave tube condition about regulating circuit 102 work was satisfied, this logic control signal chginh had a predetermined state, for example low state.This condition can be any other conditions that be well known to those skilled in the art and charge-independent energy-storage travelling wave tube 106.For example, the suitable coupling that can import at a suitable performance number and regulating circuit 102 for an input power supply of a condition.
Enable circuits 104 receives a feedback signal from regulating circuit 102 by path 119.This feedback signal is represented the electric charge of energy-storage travelling wave tube 106.This enable circuits is compared the electric charge of energy-storage travelling wave tube 106 with a reference charge, and if this charge value export an enable signal during less than this reference charge value.Enable circuits 104 also can comprise multiple charging method, and this method will be described further with reference to figure 2, is lower than this reference charge value so that energy-storage travelling wave tube 106 is discharged to, if the electric charge of energy-storage travelling wave tube 106 is higher than this reference charge value.
In one embodiment, in case the electric charge on the energy-storage travelling wave tube 106 is lower than this reference charge, 104 of enable circuits send an enable signal and pass through path 115 to controller 120.Controller 120 these enable signals of response then make regulating circuit 102 from one first state, and for example an off working state or a predetermined suitable duty are converted to one second state, for example another duty.Like this, enable circuits 104 of the present utility model can be advantageously in the work of the second state delay regulating circuit 102, keep the work of regulating circuit 102 simultaneously at first state, be discharged to up to energy-storage travelling wave tube 106 and be lower than reference charge.
In another embodiment, be discharged to up to energy-storage travelling wave tube 106 and be lower than the logic control signal that reference charge value and inputs to enable circuits 104, signal chginh for example, when being in a predetermined state, enable circuits 104 just can send an enable signal to controller 120.This type of predetermined state is represented the non-energy-storage travelling wave tube condition of at least a ideal.This type of predetermined state also can be represented the non-energy-storage travelling wave tube condition of every other ideal.In this example, enable circuits 104 of the present utility model is work at this second state delay conversion regulating circuit 102, the work that keeps regulating circuit 102 simultaneously at this first state, for example an off working state or is scheduled to suitable duty, is discharged to less than reference charge value and at least one non-energy-storage travelling wave tube condition about regulating circuit 102 work of a signal indication up to energy-storage travelling wave tube 106 to be satisfied.

Enable circuits 204 also can comprise a discharge path, and this path comprises resistance R 1, R2 and K switch 3, K4, is lower than reference value so that electric capacity 206 is discharged to.K switch 3, K4 can be the transistor of any type, in order to represent with MOS transistor among the easy figure.The detailed operation reference of enable circuits and discharge path is the typical enable circuits of Fig. 2 A hereinafter.
Fig. 2 A is depicted as the circuit diagram of a typical enable circuits 204a.Those skilled in the art understand many circuit structures and can be used in the enable circuits of the present utility model.In the exemplary embodiments of Fig. 2 A, the comparator circuit 232 of Fig. 2 comprises a comparer 232a, and its positive input terminal receives the input signal of expression electric capacity 206 electric charges, and negative input end receives another input control signal Vdsch, this signal indication one reference charge value.
Output decision circuitry 234 comprises a rejection gate (NOR gate) 234a.Rejection gate 234a receives output and the control signal chginh of comparer 232a.And if only if, and all are input as when hanging down, and the output of rejection gate 234a just is high.Otherwise rejection gate 234a is output as low.In this embodiment, when this rejection gate is output as when high, enable circuits 204 sends enable signals to controller 220, be used for making regulating circuit 202 from first state, for example K switch 1, K2 disconnect, and are converted to second state, for example K switch 1, controlled device 220 controls of K2.
The work of the typical enable circuits 204a of system 200 is described further the truth table of reference table 1 at this.Table 1 has described the state of each control signal and inter-related switch in detail, wherein exports decision circuitry 234 and works as the rejection gate 234a among Fig. 2 A.Input to the control signal chginh of enable circuits 204, control signal dsch from comparer 232a output, from the control signal chgen of rejection gate 234a output, the K switch 1 of SRC202, K2, and the K switch 3 of enable circuits 204, the state of K4 are all listed in table 1 in detail.
Table 1
chginh dsch chgen H H L H L L L H L L L H

As what fully describe at this, advantageously typical enable circuits 204a makes K switch 1, the K2 of SRC202 not controlled by suitable control technology, for example PWM control, and make K switch 1, K2 remain on off-state (OFF position), be discharged to up to the electric capacity 206 of SRC202 and be lower than reference charge (control signal dsch is L), and have at least the noncapacitive charging correlated condition of another regulating circuit work to be satisfied.So just can eliminate the negative voltage transition that may appear at SRC202 output terminal 211.
Shown in table 1 first row, if the charge value of electric capacity 206 greater than the reference charge value, as it is represented to input to the control signal Vdsch of comparer 232a, the control signal dsch from this comparer 232a output be a height so.The output control signal dsch of comparer 232a then is input to rejection gate 234a.
Another of rejection gate 234a is input as the control signal chginh from independent source.This control signal chginh represents at least one and the relevant noncapacitive correlated condition of SRC202 work.In this embodiment, if this signal chginh is low, at least one and the every other noncapacitive correlated condition relevant with SRC202 of possibility are satisfied.If this signal chginh is high, this type of condition is not satisfied.Therefore, also be height if the output control signal dsch of comparer 232a is height and signal chginh, the output signal of rejection gate 234a is low so.Thereby K switch 1 and K2 keep disconnecting, and the work of SRC202 is delayed.So,, in this example, will not provide this charging current so, and come the flow through electric current of inductance 208 of self-capacitance 206 also can not exist if SRC202 attempt provides a charging current to a rechargeable battery of being correlated with.
The secondary series of reference table 1 is lower than the represented reference charge by control signal Vdsch if electric capacity 206 is discharged to, and the output control signal dsch of comparer 232a becomes low, and the charge value of expression electric capacity 206 is acceptable.Yet if another noncapacitive charging correlated condition is not satisfied, it is high that control signal chginh keeps.Like this, the output of rejection gate 234a keeps low and work SRC202 still is delayed.
The 3rd row of reference table 1 if control signal chginh is low, represent a desirable starting state of at least one non-charging correlated condition, and the output control signal dsch of comparer 232a are high, and the output signal chgen of rejection gate 234a keeps low so.Like this, the work of SRC202 still is delayed.
Shown in table 1 the 4th row, be discharged to up to electric capacity and be lower than reference charge value (comparer 232a output control signal dsch be low), and if not the non-charging correlated condition of every other regulating circuit work and at least one (control signal chginh is low) be satisfied, the control signal chgen of rejection gate 234a output just be a height.In case control signal chgen is high, the K switch 3 of enable circuits 204a and K4 disconnect.Control signal chgen is high, makes controller 220 drive SRC202.Therefore, K switch 1, K2 are controlled by a suitable control technology, for example PWM.
If there is not enable signal in this embodiment, K switch 3, K4 closure.Then K switch 3, K4 have constituted the discharge path of electric capacity 206.K switch 3 is also connected with resistance R 1, and K switch 4 is also connected with resistance R 2 simultaneously.The resistance value of resistance R 1 is higher than the resistance value of resistance R 2.Like this, because the enable signal of rejection gate 234a do not exist, so at this moment K switch 3, K4 closure constitutes a discharge path and resistance R 2 and begin electric capacity 206 discharges.
Figure 3 shows that a representative cells charging device 300, this system generally includes a power supply 344, one SRC302, an enable circuits 304, one rechargeable batteries 340 of the present utility model, and a battery charge controller 320.Battery charger 300 can be used in the multiple portable electric appts, for example kneetop computer, mobile phone, pager, personal digital assistant or the like, flow to a rechargeable battery 340, for example lithium battery, nickel-cadmium battery or Ni-MH battery to provide and to control electric weight.
Can adopt a sensor, for example detect resistance 346, provide a detection signal to controller 320, expression flow to the charging current Ichg of battery.Controller 320 is generally an integrated circuit (IC) and to negative voltage transition sensitivity, is not lower than the reference charge value if energy-storage travelling wave tube 306 suitably is discharged to, and this transition can appear at port 349, port 351.This type of negative voltage transition appears at port 349 or port 351 is because the inductance of SRC302 and the vibration that the electric capacity group causes.
In case power supply 344 suitably is coupled to system 300, it then provides an input direct voltage signal to SRC302.Power supply 344 can be an AC/DC adapter, be used for receiving the standard electric alternating current pressure of supply socket and being converted into an available DC voltage, an or DC/DC adapter, the adapter of one " lighter " type for example, be used for inserting the socket an of the type, or in the power supply of other types.
Advantageously, SRC302 receives the power input from power supply 344, and be converted into a suitable output voltage and a current value, and only receive one during by path 315 when controller 320 from the enable signal of enable circuits 304, provide a charging current Ichg to battery 340.In addition, controller 320 postpones to provide charging current Ichg to battery 340, keeps SRC302 to be in a predetermined appropriate state simultaneously.Should predetermined appropriate state can be state by any type that state determined of the multiple switch of SRC302.In the last embodiment of Fig. 2, the K switch 1 of SRC202, the selected off-state that is in of K2.The controlled device 320 of SRC302 is controlled with the control technology of any type, PWM for example, and these technology are well known to those skilled in the art.
Therefore more advantageously, enable circuits 304 postpones the charging current Ichg that flow to battery 340 is provided, and is discharged to up to energy-storage travelling wave tube 306 to be lower than reference charge.Enable circuits 304 also can postpone to flow to the charging current Ichg of battery 340, and up to another control signal from another source, for example signal chginh represents that at least one non-charging correlated condition relevant with SRC302 work is satisfied.
In another embodiment, Figure 4 shows that a battery charger 400, this system generally includes a direct current power supply 444, is used for providing electric weight for rechargeable battery 440.Battery charging state is subjected to charging circuit 411 controls, the output of this circuit conditioning DC-DC converter 402.Charging circuit 411 comprises a enable circuits 404 in another embodiment of this detailed description.
DC-DC converter 402 can be the DC-DC converter that is subjected to any type that various control signal controls.DC-DC converter 402 can be a synchronous rectifier converter known in the art, and this converter contains a high-side switch K1, a low side switch K2, an inductance 408, and an electric capacity 406.One control signal from charging circuit 411 exports low side switch K1 and high-side switch K2 control end separately to from low side 415 and high side 417 respectively.In an example, K switch 1, K2 can be the transistor of any type, for example MOS transistor.Control signal can be a pwm signal, the duration of its work period control " switch closure " state (high-side switch K1 closure, low side switch K2 disconnect) and " switch disconnection " state (high-side switch K1 disconnection, low side switch K2 closure), and the output voltage values and the current value of DC-DC converter 402.
If the electric charge on the electric capacity 406 of DC-DC converter 402 is greater than reference value, battery 440 not with the output electric coupling of DC-DC converter 402 (K switch 3 and K4 disconnect), and charging circuit 411 indication DC-DC converters 402 are converted to a switch off state, and electric capacity 406 makes current discharge to ground by inductance 408 and Closing Switch K2.May cause the power rating of not expecting of charging circuit 411 ports 418 and 419 like this, port 418 and 419 be connected to detect resistance 449 two ends.For example, because lc circuit in parallel (comprising inductance 408 and electric capacity 406) can produce negative voltage transition and negative current vibration at port 418.
Charging circuit 411 can comprise another embodiment of an enable circuits 404, and embodiment is similar to other enable circuits, stops the power rating of not expecting at port 418,419 in this example.Usually, during a soft start state, enable circuits 404 is compared the electric charge of electric capacity 406 with reference charge, and up to the electric charge of electric capacity 406 less than reference charge, just make charging current 411 control DC-DC converters 402.Therefore, the high-side switch K1 of DC-DC converter 402 and low side switch K2 can keep disconnecting, and receive enable signal from enable circuits 404 up to controller 490.
Enable circuits 404 generally includes a comparator circuit 432, one on-off circuits 434, one discharge paths 436, and an output decision circuitry 438.Comparator circuit 432 comprises comparer 433.Comparer 433 its in the same way (non inverting) input end receive first signal of the electric charge of an expression electric capacity 406.Comparer 433 receives also that at its reverse (inverting) input end one represents the secondary signal of reference charge, and Vdsch represents by signal.Comparer 433 is these signals relatively, and relatively provide an output comparison signal to on-off circuit 434 according to this.
On-off circuit 434 can receive the output comparison signal and the soft-start signal of comparator circuit 432, for example the signal that is provided by primary power administrative unit (PMU) 480.Then on-off circuit 434 will provide one first to output signal to output decision circuitry 438 by path 483, and one second K switch 5 that outputs signal to discharge path 436.K switch 5 can be the transistor of any type, for example a MOS transistor.On-off circuit 434 can comprise a rest-set flip-flop 435.The set of trigger 435 (set) end can receive soft-start signal, and reset terminal (reset) can receive comparison output signal simultaneously.The output terminal QB of trigger 435 provides first to output signal to output decision circuitry 438, and simultaneously another output terminal Q provides second K switch 5 that outputs signal to discharge path 436.
Output decision circuitry 438 can comprise the circuit of any type of realizing an expectation logic function.In one embodiment, output decision circuitry 438 can comprise one with the door G1.Output decision circuitry 438 provides a charging enable signal chgen controller 490 to charging circuit 411.If the charging enable signal be a numeral 1, so controller 490 can control DC-DC converter 402 switch to K1, K2, for example pass through a pwm control signal.If the charging enable signal is a numeral 0, controller 490 can not gauge tap disconnect keeping K1, K2 and this switch.Controller 490 can comprise that the element of any type is used to provide and control signal to switch, for example a pwm signal.For example, controller 490 can comprise a plurality of error amplifiers, is used for the input signal of comparison monitoring parameter (not shown) and the relevant max-thresholds of each parameter.A plurality of error amplifiers can constitute simulation " line or (wired-OR) " topology, and first detects the work period that an error amplifier that surpasses relevant max-thresholds state is controlled this pwm control signal like this.
At work, DC-DC converter 402 is not worked at first, and K switch 1 and K2 are in off-state.In addition, K switch 3 and K4 disconnect.During this time, digital 1 soft-start signal is received at the set end of trigger 435 by the request of PMU 480.Then, the output Q of trigger 435 is set to numeral 1, and another output QB is for being set to numeral 0.In response, K switch 5 closures of discharge path 436 cause the electric charge of electric capacity 406 to be discharged to ground by the path that is made of Closing Switch K5.In addition because output QB be a numeral 0, no matter what is from the CHGON HOST signal of PMU 480, with the output of door G1 also will be digital 0.Controller 490 then response from numeral 0 signal of door G1, no longer gauge tap K1, K2, so this controller maintained switch K1, K2 are in an off-state.
The electric charge of electric capacity 406 continues to be discharged, and is discharged to a safety value that is lower than the reference charge value up to it.In case capacitance charge is less than the reference charge value, the output Q of trigger 434 will be numeral 0, and another output QB will be numeral 1.Therefore, the K5 of discharge path will disconnect.If the CHG ON HOST signal from PMU 480 also is a numeral 1, the output (enable signal) with door G1 also will be numeral 1 so.In response, controller 490 is with the state of controllable switch K1 and K2, for example by a pwm control signal.More advantageously, if controller 490 provides a pwm signal that K switch 1 and K2 are placed a switch off state in this example, disadvantageous power rating will can not take place at port 418,419, because the electric charge of electric capacity 406 is bled off fully.
Embodiment described herein is some examples among many employings embodiment of the present utility model, and these embodiment are used for explaining, but are not limited to this.Obviously, many other embodiment well known to those skilled in the art do not break away from spirit and scope of the present utility model.
