Therefore, for a voltage modulation circuit: the central processing unit is the load, and the central processing unit regards the user's operation. In the state of busy or idle operation, & this load will see the heavy load or light load power state at different times; therefore, for the voltage modulation circuit, it must be based on the current load state, and Provide a stable working power. Generally, an electric μ modulation circuit having a single voltage output is applied to a power supply circuit of a low voltage load, and can be divided into two types, one of which is a non-power supply circuit and the other of which is an isolated power supply circuit. The non-isolated power supply circuit in the middle is like a step-down power supply circuit or a buck-boost power supply circuit, and the off-type power supply circuit is like a flyback power conversion circuit. Month / read the fifth figure, as the - step-down power conversion circuit to achieve, the variable circuit, including - pulse width modulation controller (50), an open I 'robbery (60), complex initiative The switching inductor (6) and the capacitor (〇; wherein the pulse width modulation controller obtains the voltage feedback signal of the voltage output terminal, and the voltage of the load terminal (Load) is changed by 开关(4), and is driven by the switch. (6〇) Alternately control the on-period of the active switch (Q1) (Q2), see also the circuit block diagram of the above-mentioned switch driver (6〇), which includes the - logic circuit unit (61) And a power amplifier (62) (63) and a phase adjustment circuit (64); wherein the input end of the logic circuit unit (61) is a pulse width modulation signal terminal (PWM) for connecting to the pulse width modulation The output of the variable controller (10), the logic circuit unit (61) further comprising two output terminals respectively connected to the two power amplifiers (62) (63) through the logic element and the phase adjustment circuit (64) to adjust according to the pulse width Variable controller (5〇) output pulse width modulation signal, adjust power amplifier (62) (63) output drive The pulse width of the signal determines the on-period of each active switch. The upper limit of the high potential (UVCX^LVCC) of the two power amplifiers (62) (63) is respectively connected to the external (four), and the circuit design will The high-potential upper limit terminal (uvcc) (LVcc) is connected to the highest potential terminal (VCC) of the external DC power supply. The above-mentioned existing step-down voltage modulation circuit can be provided according to the load light load and heavy load power voltage rise and fall state. The load is stable and the operating voltage has the function of voltage regulation. However, the power supply under heavy load or light load is not good because of the active switching characteristics, which makes the overall power conversion performance poor, and it is easy to generate waste heat and increase the temperature near the central processor. The stability of the processor is increased. Because of the poor conversion performance caused by the active switch, it can be divided into switching loss (Switching Loss), conduction loss (c〇nducti〇n and driver loss (Driver Loss), where switching The loss is the moment when the active switch is switched on and off, and is turned on and off due to the non-zero voltage of the terminal voltage or the non-zero current of the 1st and the nozzle current. When the active switch is turned on, since there is an on-resistance inside the active switch, the conduction loss is that when the current flows through the on-resistance of the active switch, the shell soil is lost to the drive loss 200938985, that is, the active switch is driven to open and The moment of closing is generated; that is, the overall power loss of the active switch can be expressed by the following formula.

Floss = Psw + Pcon + Pdriver 以下再進步3兒明當負载於中、重載與輕載情況下的 各種轉換損失佔整體功率損失的比例: 當負載於中、重載時,流經主動開關之電流提高,故 導通損失佔整體損失比較其它兩者高;是以,欲於中、重Floss = Psw + Pcon + Pdriver The following three improvements are made: the ratio of various conversion losses in the case of medium, heavy and light load to the total power loss: when the load is medium and heavy, it flows through the active switch. The current is increased, so the conduction loss accounts for the overall loss compared to the other two;

載情況下降低整體損失’則可調整主動開關導通電阻,使 之降低以達到降低損失之目的,其中該導通損失公式以 MOSFET主動開關為例說明之:Under the condition of reducing the overall loss, the active switch on-resistance can be adjusted to reduce the loss to reduce the loss. The conduction loss formula is exemplified by the MOSFET active switch:

Please refer to the seventh figure, which is the conduction characteristic curve of the MOSFET of the model irf663i. The driving voltage L of the active switch is inversely proportional to the on-resistance. Therefore, the on-resistance can be reduced. In medium and heavy load conditions, "high drive voltage to reduce conduction loss. When the load is light, the current flowing through the active switch is reduced, so the drive loss and switching loss account for the overall loss than the conduction loss, while driving The loss and if exchange loss can be expressed by the following formula: PG=J;-tv〇s-Ig.dt = fsyGs.^Igjt

Ο From the above description, in view of the current voltage modulation circuit, as shown in the block diagrams of the switch driver disclosed in the fifth and sixth figures, the highest potential terminal (uvcc) of the two power amplifiers is used under light load or medium heavy load ( Lvcc) is connected to the solid-state direct "IL voltage (vcc), so the amplitudes of the output drive signals of the two power amplifiers (8)) (63) are the same, and only the pulse width is modulated according to the round-trip feedback voltage. The drive voltage of the active switch will be the same. Therefore, at present, the voltage modulation circuit does not change the driving voltage of the two-way switch according to the medium-heavy load or light load of the load, and the loss of the active switch loss Δ can be known as the loss. ¥ Ρ...'The method is improved, but only the voltage regulation function.
