請同時參見第三A圖,為根據本發明之一較佳實施例之欠狀態判斷電路之電路示意圖。在本實施例中,欠狀態判斷電路212為一過低壓判斷電路,包含一過低壓比較器213、一遮没電路227、一計數電路228以及一保護電路229。過低壓比 較器213的一非反相輸入端接受一欠狀態參考準位訊號Vr1,一反相輸入端接收回授訊號VFB,於轉換電路之輸出電壓Vout低於一預定過低壓值時,產生一高準位訊號,當輸出電壓Vout恢復至高於預定過低壓值時,停止產生高準位訊號。欠狀態參考準位訊號Vr1之一準位低於參考訊號Vr之一準位,可以設計成,例如:為參考訊號Vr的0.5倍準位。計數電路228耦接過低壓比較器213,於接收到過低壓比較器213產生高準位訊號之期間根據一時脈訊號進行計數,於計數達一預定時脈數(即一預定時間長度)時,產生一高準位訊號,以觸發保護電路229產生一過低壓保護訊號UVS至保護控制電路225。若過低壓比較器213並未於預定時間長度內持續產生高準位訊號,則計數電路228的計數將歸零。遮没電路227於控制器200軟啟動期間,進行訊號遮没,以遮没計數電路228產生一高準位訊號,以避免於軟啟動期間,輸出電壓Vout無法立刻提升至高於預定過低壓值,而誤觸發過低壓保護。保護電路229在此也可以是閂鎖電路,根據一啟動訊號或一上電復位(Power On Reset)訊號來啟動,並於確認過低壓時進行閂鎖保護。透過上述的設計,可以使發生過低壓異常時,延遲一時間後才進行保護,使耦接轉換電路的負載不致於立即停止操作,故可避免先前技術中的因保護而立即失控之問題。 Please also refer to FIG. 3A, which is a circuit diagram of the under-state judging circuit according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. In the present embodiment, the under-state determination circuit 212 is an over-voltage detection circuit, and includes an over-voltage comparator 213, an occlusion circuit 227, a counter circuit 228, and a protection circuit 229. Low pressure ratio A non-inverting input terminal of the comparator 213 receives an under-state reference level signal Vr1, and an inverting input terminal receives the feedback signal VFB. When the output voltage Vout of the conversion circuit is lower than a predetermined over-voltage value, a high is generated. The level signal stops generating the high level signal when the output voltage Vout returns to a value higher than the predetermined excessive low voltage value. One of the under-state reference level signal Vr1 is lower than the reference signal Vr, and can be designed, for example, to be 0.5 times the reference signal Vr. The counting circuit 228 is coupled to the low voltage comparator 213, and is counted according to a clock signal during the period when the high voltage comparator 213 receives the high level signal, and when the counting reaches a predetermined number of clocks (ie, a predetermined length of time), A high level signal is generated to trigger the protection circuit 229 to generate an overvoltage protection signal UVS to the protection control circuit 225. If the overvoltage comparator 213 does not continuously generate a high level signal for a predetermined length of time, the count of the counting circuit 228 will be zeroed. The mask circuit 227 performs signal blanking during the soft start of the controller 200 to cover the counter circuit 228 to generate a high level signal to prevent the output voltage Vout from being immediately raised above the predetermined excessive low voltage value during the soft start. And false triggering low voltage protection. The protection circuit 229 can also be a latch circuit, which is activated according to an activation signal or a Power On Reset signal, and is latch-protected when a low voltage is confirmed. Through the above design, when a low voltage abnormality occurs, the protection is performed after a delay, so that the load coupled to the conversion circuit does not immediately stop the operation, so that the problem of immediately losing control due to protection in the prior art can be avoided.

請同時參見第三B圖,為根據本發明之一較佳實施例之過狀態判斷電路之電路示意圖。過狀態判斷電路214為一過壓判斷電路,包含一過壓比較器215以及一延遲電路226。過壓比較器215的一反相輸入端接受一過狀態參考準位訊號Vr2,一非反相輸入端接收回授訊號VFB,於轉換電路之輸出電壓Vout高於一預定過壓值時,產生一高準位訊號,其中過狀態參考準位訊號Vr2之一準位高於參考訊號Vr之一準位。在本實施例,過壓比較器215可以是一遲滯比較器,可以設計成,例如:為參考訊號Vr的1.25倍準位時,產生高準位訊號,為參考訊號Vr的1.05倍準位,停止產生高準位訊號。如此設計, 當暫時性的過壓異常狀態解除時,本發明的控制器200可以恢復成正常的操作。延遲電路226耦接過壓比較器215,於接收到過壓比較器215所產生的高準位訊號後經一時間延遲後產生一過壓保護訊號OVS,用以避免雜訊所可能造成的過壓異常之誤判。 Please also refer to FIG. 3B, which is a circuit diagram of an over-state determination circuit according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The over-state determination circuit 214 is an over-voltage determination circuit including an over-voltage comparator 215 and a delay circuit 226. An inverting input terminal of the overvoltage comparator 215 receives an over-state reference level signal Vr2, and a non-inverting input terminal receives the feedback signal VFB, which is generated when the output voltage Vout of the conversion circuit is higher than a predetermined overvoltage value. A high level signal, wherein one of the over-state reference level signals Vr2 is higher than one of the reference signals Vr. In this embodiment, the overvoltage comparator 215 can be a hysteresis comparator, and can be designed, for example, to generate a high level signal, which is 1.05 times the reference signal Vr, when the reference signal is 1.25 times of the reference signal Vr. Stop generating high level signals. So designed, When the temporary overvoltage abnormal state is released, the controller 200 of the present invention can be restored to a normal operation. The delay circuit 226 is coupled to the overvoltage comparator 215. After receiving the high level signal generated by the overvoltage comparator 215, an overvoltage protection signal OVS is generated after a time delay to avoid possible noise. Misjudgment of pressure abnormality.

請再參考第三圖,保護控制電路225於接收到過壓保護訊號OVS或過低壓保護訊號UVS之其中任一保護訊號時,將產生一暫時保護訊號PS至邏輯控制電路220,以停止控制訊號S1、S2之產生。而於後若過壓保護訊號OVS及過低壓保護訊號UVS停止產生時,保護控制電路225也停止產生暫時保護訊號PS,使邏輯控制電路220恢復產生控制訊號S1、S2。能量洩放電路235直接連接轉換電路的輸出電容C。過壓保護訊號OVS也同時傳送至能量洩放電路235,使能量洩放電路235在接收過壓保護訊號OVS的期間提供一能量洩放路徑以洩放輸出電容C所儲存之電力。當然,能量洩放電路235並非必要電路,本發明之控制器也可以於過壓異常狀態時,產生控制訊號S2使下臂電晶體開關SW2導通而達到降低輸出電壓Vout之作用。然而,下臂電晶體開關SW2之導通,會使輸出電容C的部分能量轉而儲存至電感L,而可能造成不必要的電壓或電流震盪的情況。利用額外的能量洩放電路235則可以避免上述情況的產生。 Referring to the third figure, when the protection control circuit 225 receives any one of the overvoltage protection signal OVS or the overvoltage protection signal UVS, a temporary protection signal PS is generated to the logic control circuit 220 to stop the control signal. The production of S1 and S2. Then, if the overvoltage protection signal OVS and the overvoltage protection signal UVS stop generating, the protection control circuit 225 also stops generating the temporary protection signal PS, causing the logic control circuit 220 to resume generating the control signals S1, S2. The energy bleeder circuit 235 is directly connected to the output capacitor C of the conversion circuit. The overvoltage protection signal OVS is also simultaneously transmitted to the energy bleeder circuit 235, so that the energy bleeder circuit 235 provides an energy bleed path to bleed the power stored by the output capacitor C during the reception of the overvoltage protection signal OVS. Of course, the energy bleeder circuit 235 is not a necessary circuit. The controller of the present invention can also generate the control signal S2 to turn on the lower arm transistor switch SW2 to reduce the output voltage Vout when the overvoltage abnormal state occurs.

The DC-to-DC boost converter circuit includes a controller 300 and a conversion circuit for providing a stable output current Iout to a load (not shown). The controller 300 includes a chopper control circuit 310, an overcurrent determination circuit 335, an over temperature determination circuit 345, a logic control circuit 320, and a protection control circuit 325. The conversion circuit includes a transistor switch SW3, an inductor L, a diode D, and an output capacitor C. One end of the inductance L and the series inductance L of the transistor switch SW3 is coupled to an input voltage Vin, and the other end One end of the diode D and one end of the transistor switch SW3 are coupled. The other end of the transistor switch SW3 is grounded. One of the negative terminals of the diode D is coupled to the output capacitor C to provide an output current Iout. An input end of the chopper control circuit 310 is coupled to an output end of the conversion circuit to generate a control signal Sp according to the feedback signal IFB and the reference signal Vr, which are representative of the output current Iout. The logic control circuit 320 is coupled to the chopper control circuit 310 to generate a control signal S3 according to the control signal Sp to control the transistor switch SW3 in the conversion circuit to maintain the output current Iout of the conversion circuit stable. The overcurrent determination circuit 335 is coupled to the conversion circuit. When the current flowing through one of the conversion circuits is higher than a first predetermined overcurrent value, an overcurrent protection signal OCS is generated, and the current flowing through the conversion circuit is lower than a second predetermined When the overcurrent value is exceeded, the overcurrent protection signal OCS is stopped. The first predetermined overcurrent value is greater than the second predetermined overcurrent value. When the overcurrent determination circuit 335 generates the overcurrent protection signal OCS, the trigger protection control circuit 325 generates a temporary protection signal PS, so that the logic control circuit 320 stops generating the control signal S3 until an inductor current IL falls to a second predetermined overcurrent value. . Alternatively, after the overcurrent protection signal OCS is generated, the overcurrent determination circuit 335 may only when the current flowing through the conversion circuit is lower than the second predetermined overcurrent value and the output current Iout or the output voltage Vout of the conversion circuit is lower than a predetermined value. Stop generating overcurrent protection signal OCS. In this way, it is ensured that the controller 300 operates again after the overcurrent abnormality occurs, not only the energy of the inductor but also the energy stored in the conversion circuit. The over temperature determining circuit 345 generates an over temperature protection signal OTS to reduce the first predetermined overcurrent value and the second of the overcurrent determining circuit 335 when the operating temperature of one of the controllers 300 is higher than a first predetermined over temperature value. Schedule an overcurrent value. As such, the heat generation of the controller 300 can be reduced, especially if the transistor switch SW3 is built into the controller 300, allowing the controller 300 to more quickly lower the operating temperature below a second predetermined over temperature value. Whether it is an overcurrent abnormal state or an over temperature abnormal state, the controller 300 of the present invention continuously controls the conversion circuit to provide an output to the load, so that the load can still maintain the operation to prevent the prior art from stopping the supply of power and causing the system to lose control and damage the system. problem.

請參見第四A圖,為根據本發明之一較佳實施例之過電 流判斷電路之電路示意圖。在本實施例,過電流判斷電路335包含一過流參考訊號產生器336、一過流遲滯比較器337、一保護重置比較器338以及一SR正反器339。過流參考訊號產生器336產生一過流參考訊號Ir。過流遲滯比較器337根據過流參考訊號Ir以及一偵測訊號CS來判斷電感電流IL是否高於第一預定過流值或低於第二預定過流值。當電感電流IL高於第一預定過流值時,過流遲滯比較器337產生一高準位訊號至SR正反器339之一設定端S,使SR正反器339產生過流保護訊號OCS。保護重置比較器338之一非反相端接收一重設參考訊號Vr’,一反相端接收代表輸出電壓之回授訊號VFB。當回授訊號VFB之一準位低於重設參考訊號Vr’之一準位時,代表轉換電路能提供的電力以降至一預定的水準,保護重置比較器338產生一高準位訊號至SR正反器339的一重設端R,使SR正反器339停止產生過流保護訊號OCS。 Please refer to FIG. 4A, which is a power supply according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Circuit diagram of the flow judging circuit. In the present embodiment, the overcurrent determination circuit 335 includes an overcurrent reference signal generator 336, an overcurrent hysteresis comparator 337, a protection reset comparator 338, and an SR flip flop 339. The overcurrent reference signal generator 336 generates an overcurrent reference signal Ir. The overcurrent hysteresis comparator 337 determines whether the inductor current IL is higher than the first predetermined overcurrent value or lower than the second predetermined overcurrent value according to the overcurrent reference signal Ir and a detection signal CS. When the inductor current IL is higher than the first predetermined overcurrent value, the overcurrent hysteresis comparator 337 generates a high level signal to the set terminal S of the SR flip-flop 339, so that the SR flip-flop 339 generates an overcurrent protection signal OCS. . One of the non-inverting terminals of the protection reset comparator 338 receives a reset reference signal Vr', and an inverting terminal receives the feedback signal VFB representing the output voltage. When one of the feedback signals VFB is lower than one of the reset reference signals Vr', the power provided by the conversion circuit is reduced to a predetermined level, and the protection reset comparator 338 generates a high level signal to A reset terminal R of the SR flip-flop 339 causes the SR flip-flop 339 to stop generating the overcurrent protection signal OCS.

請同時參見第四B圖,為發生過溫異常狀態時,調降過流判斷值之波形圖。當於時間點t1時發生過溫異常狀態時,過溫判斷電路345產生過溫保護訊號OTS至過流參考訊號產生器336。此時,過流參考訊號產生器336會將過流參考訊號Ir的準位由一第一準位值Ir1調降至一第二準位值Ir2。如此,可快速降低熱的產生,以解除過溫異常狀態。 Please also refer to the fourth B diagram, which is the waveform diagram of the over-current judgment value when the over-temperature abnormality occurs. When the over temperature abnormality state occurs at the time point t1, the over temperature determination circuit 345 generates the over temperature protection signal OTS to the overcurrent reference signal generator 336. At this time, the overcurrent reference signal generator 336 adjusts the level of the overcurrent reference signal Ir from a first level value Ir1 to a second level value Ir2. In this way, the heat generation can be quickly reduced to relieve the over temperature abnormality.

上述本發明之控制器於系統發生過狀態異常時,例如:過壓、過溫以及過流,會調降轉換電路的輸出,而調降轉換電路的輸出的方式,可以透過降低工作週期(Duty Cycle)、降低輸出電壓、降低輸出電流、降低操作頻率等方式來達成。而於系統發生欠壓狀態異常時,不會直接關閉轉換電路的輸出,而是經過預設時間後才關閉。如此,亦不至於系統真的發生短路時而造成欠壓時,系統反而未能提供保護。 When the controller of the present invention has a state abnormality, for example, overvoltage, overtemperature, and overcurrent, the output of the conversion circuit is lowered, and the output of the conversion circuit is lowered to reduce the duty cycle (Duty). Cycle), reducing the output voltage, reducing the output current, reducing the operating frequency, etc. When the undervoltage condition of the system is abnormal, the output of the conversion circuit is not directly turned off, but is turned off after a preset time. In this way, the system does not provide protection when the system is under voltage due to a short circuit.
