Abstract

A pulse width modulated pulse signal is generated and its duty cycle adjusted according to at least two different schedules, for example, a coarse tuning cycle and a fine tuning cycle. The target duty cycle is derived according to an offset between output voltage and target voltage, as well as the rate of changes in the offset. In the coarse tuning cycle, large changes in the control signal pulse width is used to derive output voltage to target voltage at a fast pace. As output voltage approaches target voltage, smaller adjustment are made to the duty cycle of the control pulse width in the fine tuning cycle. The rate of pulse width change is also taken into consideration, to further improve operation of the DC-DC converter.

Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to an integrated circuit, and more particularly to a method and apparatus for controlling a DC-DC converter for supplying power to various electronic and telephone devices . [Prior Art] f Fig. 1 shows a simplified circuit diagram of a conventional DC-to-DC converter 10Θ, in which a DC-to-DC converter 1〇〇 can generate an output voltage greater or lower than an input voltage. This DC converter is often very useful in electronic or telephony applications. The output voltage can be adjusted according to the duty cycle of a switching transistor 12 。. A brief description of the general operation of the converter is as follows. When the transistor 120 is in the on (0N) state, the input voltage source vcc 115 is directly coupled to the inductor 130, accumulating energy in the inductor 130. At this stage, capacitor 150 supplies energy to an output negative C carrier connected to v〇UT 145. When the transistor 120 is in the OFF state, the inductor 130 is coupled to the capacitor 150 and an output such that energy is transferred from the inductor 13 to the valley 150 and the output 145. The magnitude of the output voltage is determined by the ratio of the pulse width modulation (PWM) control signal 125 on/off time, or the duty cycle. In a DC-to-DC converter related application, a feedback control loop can be included to cause the converter output to follow a predetermined reference voltage. In such applications, an error signal is first generated to indicate the output voltage and the offset between the target voltages. Then, this error signal was taken

The transistor 12 is calibrated to a predetermined voltage level based on the pWM signal. In a digital PWM, a control signal having a duty cycle ratio is generated based on a voltage difference between an output voltage and a target input voltage. - The digital waveform produces H and is then pulsed to produce a PWM signal having a duty cycle determined by the control signal. Similarly, a digitalized two-corner waveform can be used to compare with a digitized output voltage to produce a digital PWM Ifl number. Although successful, the conventional digital pWM converter has also suffered from specific drawbacks. The DC-to-DC converters of the conventional digital pWM are increasingly facing limited accuracy problems because the interval of the adjustment time is limited by the clock frequency and the incremental voltage variation is dominated by the digitalization limit. Furthermore, conventional digital PWM converters tend to have relatively long reaction times, producing buzz (nois e) and output voltage levels that are too high (〇(10)) or undershoot. These shortcomings of the conventional digital pwM converter and other limitations will be further explained in this specification. Therefore, there is a need for an improved technique for controlling a DC-to-DC converter. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a PWM signal generated on a DC-to-DC converter and according to at least two different time courses (i.e., a coarse tuning cycle and a fine tuning cycle). And use a variety of threshold values to adjust the technology of its duty cycle. However, worth noting

During the coarse tuning process, the DC-to-DC converter output voltage is periodically sampled and compared to a predetermined target voltage, and the voltage difference or offset between the two voltages is calculated and used to adjust the PWM control signal. Pulse Width. In one embodiment, to determine the pulse width (interval size) required to drive the output voltage toward the target, the offset voltage is first compared to a predetermined set of threshold voltages. In order to adjust the time, the larger offset is used for larger offsets when the output voltage is far from the target. As the offset becomes smaller, the interval size also decreases to minimize the condition that the level is too high or too low. At this time, when the level is too high or too low, a fine adjustment process will be performed more frequently than the coarse adjustment process. During the trimming process, the target voltage and the output voltage are compared to generate an Up/Down signal to indicate the intersection of the output voltage and the target voltage. When a change in polarity is detected on the up/down signal, the trimming process will be initiated and the PWM control pulse width will be adjusted at a small interval to control the level not too high or too low.

The PWM pulse generator 200 includes a second order comparator 230, a multi-order comparator 240, a pulse width calculator 250, and an N-bit counter 260. The second order comparator 230, the multi-order comparator 240, and the pulse width calculator 250 are driven by a 64 Hz cHz clock 206. The second order comparator 230 and the multi-order comparator 240 also receive clock pulses from the 8 Hz clock 208.

As discussed below, the error signal Derr〇r is derived from measuring the offset between Vout 275 and Vtarget 204 and the rate of change between the current and previous day pulses. The up-down comparator 220 receives Vout 275 and Vtarget 204 and generates an up-and-down signal Updown 225' to indicate whether v〇ut 275 has exceeded vtarget 204 when Vout 275 is being adjusted by the PWM pulse. In other words, the up and down signal 225 indicates whether the level is too high or too low. In addition, various signals will be processed further to obtain a PWM control pulse, as discussed below. In Fig. 2, the multi-order comparator 24 generates a pulse width control signal Dstep 245 and an up-and-down signal 225 based on the offset between Vout 275 and vtarget 204 (rate of change of the offset). Pulse width calculator 250 then generates a PWM pulse signal 255 using Dstep 245 and output D0 265 from N-bit counter 260. The PWM pulse signal 255 is coupled to the DC to DC converter 270 to provide an output Vout 275. In a particular embodiment of the invention, PWM pulse signal 255 has a frequency of 64 kHz and the trim adjustment period is also controlled by a 64 kHz clock. During each clock cycle of the 800 Hz clock 208, a new PWM duty cycle will be applied to the DC to DC converter 270. When the output 275 is being adjusted by the PWM pulse, its Pwm duty cycle will be monitored and adjusted during each clock cycle of the 64 kHz clock 206 to determine if a condition is too high or too low. In other words, assuming that V〇ut 275 changes too fast and moves past the target value Vtarget 204, the pulse width adjustment in the next cycle will decrease. In another embodiment of the invention, the fine tuning period

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A simplified flow chart according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail. FIG. 3 is a simplified flowchart showing a signal generating method 1 according to the present invention to generate a PWM control signal. In the middle of this method, the method is used to reduce the number of cycles - PWM__ and « at least two different day-to-day adjustments, such as the coarse adjustment period and the - fine adjustment period, to adjust its = / month.

As shown, a predetermined preset target duty cycle Dtarget is selected and the parameter Voffse_old is set to zero. In a particular embodiment, the preset Dtarget can be zero. In another embodiment, Dtarget can be set to a predetermined maximum such that the generated PWM can have a 90% or 95% duty cycle. As shown in step 320, the coarse adjustment period is initiated (triggered) by a clock edge of an 800 Hz clock pulse Clk_sh. In one embodiment, at the rising edge of the clock pulse Clk_sh, a new offset signal Voffset_new is obtained from the voltage difference between the target voltage vtarget and the current output voltage Vout. Wherein, Voffset_old is the previous Voffset calculated in a previous clock cycle. At this time, the difference Voffset_diff between the two consecutive offsets Voffset can be calculated by the following formula:

Voffset_diff=Voffset—new_Voffset—old, 其中Voffset_diff表示Voffset的變化增加的速率,並且用 於後續的步驟中。 接著’執行步驟330,將Voffset_new的大小與一既定 最大偏移量進行比較,以判斷是否已超過工作週期控制訊 號Dtarget的特殊邊界條件。舉例來說,假設Voffset_new&gt;5 伏時,則跳至步驟340,將Dtarget設為一既定值Dmin。 假設Voffset—new&lt;-5伏時,則將Dtarget設為一既定值 Dmax,舉例來說,在一實施例中此既定值Dmax可為95 %。接者’如步驟345所不,檢查偏移置的變化率 Voffset_diff。假設Voffset—diff係大於5伏時,則目標工 作週期參數Dtarget被減少16倍的最小調整單元,或Voffset_diff = Voffset - new_Voffset - old, where Voffset_diff represents the rate at which the change in Voffset is increased and is used in subsequent steps. Next, step 330 is performed to compare the size of Voffset_new with a predetermined maximum offset to determine whether the special boundary condition of the duty cycle control signal Dtarget has been exceeded. For example, assuming Voffset_new &gt; 5 volts, then jump to step 340 and set Dtarget to a predetermined value Dmin. Assuming Voffset_new&lt;-5 volts, Dtarget is set to a predetermined value Dmax, for example, in an embodiment the predetermined value Dmax can be 95%. The picker does not check the rate of change of the offset set Voffset_diff as in step 345. Assuming that the Voffset-diff system is greater than 5 volts, the target duty cycle parameter Dtarget is reduced by a factor of 16 minimum adjustment unit, or

Client’s Docket N〇.:95U003 TT's Docket No:0492-A40929-TW/Final/Jasonkung 14 200826449 16*dD。反之,假設 Voffset—diff 係小於 1 伏時,Dtarget 將增加4倍的dD。上述程序可總括在下列的表示式中: 若 Voffset_diff&gt;5 伏Client’s Docket N〇.: 95U003 TT's Docket No:0492-A40929-TW/Final/Jasonkung 14 200826449 16*dD. Conversely, if Voffset-diff is less than 1 volt, Dtarget will increase by 4 times the dD. The above procedure can be summarized in the following expression: If Voffset_diff> 5 volts

Dtarget=Dtarget-16*dD ; 若 Voffset_diff&lt;l 伏Dtarget=Dtarget-16*dD ; if Voffset_diff&lt;l volts

Dtarget=Dtarget+4*dD 〇 值得注意的是,雖然於此例中選用特定的數值用以說 明,不同的應用中可以選用其他接近的數值。 由選擇區塊330開始,若Voffset_new不大於5伏時, 表示Vout相當接近Vtarget,於是執行步驟350。 Voffset_diff將與一組既定的門檻值進行比較,並依據比較 結果,Dtarget將由一組既定的調整值中的其中一者所調 整。由於Voffset 一 diff表示兩連續時脈脈衝間的Voffset的 變化,一個大的Voffset-diff表示Vout正快速的改變中。 為了避免準位太高,脈衝寬度控制訊號Dtarget將被降低。 反之,一個小的Voffset一diff表示Vout正緩慢的改變中。 為了準備收敛,脈衝寬度控制訊號Dtarget將以一較少的量 降低。相反地,若有需要時,Dtarget也可以一較少的量增 加。第3圖中步驟350的調整程序可表示為下列表示式: 若 Voffset—diff&lt;l 伏Dtarget=Dtarget+4*dD 〇 It is worth noting that although specific values are used in this example to illustrate, other close values can be used in different applications. Starting from selection block 330, if Voffset_new is no greater than 5 volts, it indicates that Vout is fairly close to Vtarget, and then step 350 is performed. Voffset_diff will be compared to a set of established threshold values, and depending on the result of the comparison, Dtarget will be adjusted by one of a set of established adjustment values. Since Voffset-diff represents the change in Voffset between two consecutive clock pulses, a large Voffset-diff indicates that Vout is changing rapidly. In order to avoid the level being too high, the pulse width control signal Dtarget will be lowered. Conversely, a small Voffset-diff indicates that Vout is slowly changing. In order to prepare for convergence, the pulse width control signal Dtarget will be reduced by a small amount. Conversely, Dtarget can also be increased by a small amount if needed. The adjustment procedure of step 350 in Fig. 3 can be expressed as the following expression: if Voffset_diff&lt;l volt

Dtarget二Dtarget+4*dD ; 若 Voffset_diff&gt;l 伏Dtarget two Dtarget+4*dD; if Voffset_diff>1 volt

Dtarget=Dtarget_4*dD ; 若 Voffset diff&gt;2 伏Dtarget=Dtarget_4*dD ; if Voffset diff> 2 volts

Dtarget:=Dtarget-16*dD ; 接著,執行步驟380,執行一大小檢查以限制兩既定 邊界值Dmin以及Dmax間的Dtarget,可表示為下列表示 式: 若 Dtarget&lt;=Dmin, Dtarget=Dmin ; f i \ 若 Dtarget〉=Dmax,Dtarget二Dmax 〇 接著,在步驟390,依據時脈訊號cik產生一 PWM 脈衝。在時脈訊號Clk (此例中為64千赫)的一上升緣, 藉由設定脈衝寬度參數DCDRV為低準位以及DCFF設為 鬲準位,在一段Dtarget*Period時間後,pwM訊號將降為 低準位(low)。此處工作週期控制訊號Dtarget係用來產生 具有所選擇的工作週期的一 PWM訊號。直流對直流轉換 器利用此工作週期以修改其輸出訊號V〇ut,一直到計算出 一 800赫時脈所驅動的粗調的下一週期中的一新的Dtarget 為止。 剷述讨論顯示依據本發明一貫施例之脈衝寬度控制訊 號Dtarget之一粗調程序。依據本發明—實施例,脈衝寬度 控制程序可藉由-微難序加料良。絲_兩個週^ 之間,當控制訊號Dtarget被重新計算時,微調程序監栌 Vout以便對控制訊號Dtarget進行更頻繁且更好的調=二 如第3圖的步驟360所示’在一 64千赫時脈〇比的上升 兩個脈衝寬度參數分別被設為其初始值,DCDRv為言準Dtarget:=Dtarget-16*dD; Next, in step 380, a size check is performed to limit the Dtarget between the two predetermined boundary values Dmin and Dmax, which can be expressed as the following expression: If Dtarget&lt;=Dmin, Dtarget=Dmin; fi \ If Dtarget>=Dmax, Dtarget 2 Dmax 〇 Next, in step 390, a PWM pulse is generated according to the clock signal cik. In the rising edge of the clock signal Clk (64 kHz in this example), by setting the pulse width parameter DCDRV to the low level and DCFF to the 鬲 level, after a period of Dtarget*Period time, the pwM signal will drop. Low level (low). Here, the duty cycle control signal Dtarget is used to generate a PWM signal having a selected duty cycle. The DC-to-DC converter uses this duty cycle to modify its output signal V〇ut until a new Dtarget in the next cycle of coarse tuning driven by an 800 Hz clock is calculated. The cross-sectional discussion shows a coarse adjustment procedure for the pulse width control signal Dtarget in accordance with a consistent embodiment of the present invention. In accordance with the present invention, the pulse width control procedure can be improved by -micro-difficulty. Between two weeks ^, when the control signal Dtarget is recalculated, the fine-tuning program monitors Vout to make the control signal Dtarget more frequent and better tuned = as shown in step 360 of Figure 3 The rise of the 64 kHz clock-to-turn ratio is set to its initial value, and the DCDRv is the standard.

Updown—old進行比較以判斷V〇m是否已超過vtarget。換 a之’上下才曰示為係用來判當V〇ut朝向Vtarget移動時, 是否發生準位太高或過低的狀況。假設發生跨越的情況, 將進行一微調程序375以減少V〇ut更進一步的飄移。 如步驟375所示的微調程序中,v〇ffset_diff將與一組 既定的門檻值進行比較,並依據比較結果,Dtarget將由一 組既定的調整值中的其中一者所調整。由於V〇ffset_diff 表示兩連續時脈脈衝間的V〇ffset的變化,一個大的 Voffset一diff表示Vout正快速的改變中。為了減緩變化的 速率,脈衝寬度控制訊號Dtarget將被降低。反之,一個小 的Voffset 一 diff表示Vout正緩慢的改變中,且脈衝寬度控 制訊號Dtarget將以一較少的量降低或若有需要時,Dtarget 也可以一較少的量增加。此微調程序可表示為下列表示式: 若 Voffset__diff&lt;l 伏Updown-old compares to determine if V〇m has exceeded vtarget. The change of the 'up and down' is shown as a condition for determining whether the level is too high or too low when V〇ut moves toward the Vtarget. Assuming a spanning situation, a fine-tuning procedure 375 will be performed to reduce further drift of V〇ut. In the fine-tuning procedure shown in step 375, v〇ffset_diff will be compared to a set of established threshold values, and depending on the result of the comparison, Dtarget will be adjusted by one of a set of predetermined adjustment values. Since V〇ffset_diff represents the change in V〇ffset between two consecutive clock pulses, a large Voffset-diff indicates that Vout is changing rapidly. To slow the rate of change, the pulse width control signal Dtarget will be reduced. Conversely, a small Voffset-diff indicates that Vout is slowly changing, and the pulse width control signal Dtarget will be reduced by a small amount or Dtarget can be increased by a smaller amount if necessary. This fine-tuning program can be expressed as the following expression: If Voffset__diff&lt;l volts

Dtarget=Dtarget+l*dD ; 若 Voffset_diff&gt;l 伏Dtarget=Dtarget+l*dD ; if Voffset_diff>1 volt

Dtarget=Dtarget-2*dD ; 若 Voffset_diff&gt;2 伏Dtarget=Dtarget-2*dD ; if Voffset_diff> 2 volts

Dtarget=Dtarget-4*dD 〇 接著,執行步驟375,新的Dtarget將被用來產生步驟 380以及390中的一 PWM脈衝,如同前述討論之粗調程序。 如前述討論,在一特定實施例中的粗調程序以及微調Dtarget = Dtarget - 4 * dD 〇 Next, in step 375, the new Dtarget will be used to generate a PWM pulse in steps 380 and 390, as in the coarse tuning procedure discussed above.
