In the case where the operation is dominated by the first secondary side winding NS1, the relationship between the relevant voltages is V _IN /V _OUT =NP1/NS1; in the case where the operation is dominated by the second secondary side winding NS2, the relationship between the relevant voltages is V _IN /V _OUT =NP1/NS2. In the present invention, the number of turns of the first secondary side winding NS1 is greater than the number of turns of the second secondary side winding NS2, that is to say, in the case where the operation is dominated by the second secondary side winding NS2, the power supply 100 can Provide larger output power. In one embodiment, the ratio of the values of NP1 , NS1 , NS2 and _NAUX may be 48:24:9:5, but the number of turns of each winding in the transformer TR does not limit the scope of the present invention.

The buffer circuit 50 includes buffer capacitors C _B1 and C _B2 , and the path control circuit 60 includes a resistor R _X and unidirectional diodes D1 - D2 .

In the present invention, the inductance value of the magnetizing inductor LM1 is greater than that of the magnetizing inductor LM2, so the secondary measuring energy that the magnetizing inductor LM1 can store is greater than the secondary measuring energy that the magnetizing inductor LM2 can store. In one embodiment, the value of the magnetizing inductance LM1 may be 400 μH (error ±10%), and the value of the magnetizing inductance LM2 may be 150 μH (error ±10%). However, the values of the magnetizing inductance LM1 and the magnetizing inductance LM2 do not limit the scope of the present invention.

For the purpose of illustration, the operation of the power supply 100 is divided into four states for description. Among them, the state S1 is the initial shutdown state when the AC mains is not energized and not supplied to the load, the state S2 is the state when the AC mains is energized but not supplied to the load, and the states S3 and S4 are when the AC mains is energized and The state when power is required to the load. Table 1 below shows the states of the components in the power supply 100 in states S1 to S4. During the operation of the power supply 100 in the states S2 - S4 , the power switch Q0 will perform high-frequency switching between the on and off states, and at the same time point one of the rectifier switches QR1 and QR2 will be between the on and off states For high frequency switching, the other rectifier switch is cut off. state Power switch Q0 Rectifier switch QR1 Auxiliary switch QA1 Rectifier switch QR2 Auxiliary switch QA2 S1 deadline deadline deadline deadline deadline S2 high frequency switching high frequency switching deadline deadline deadline S3 high frequency switching high frequency switching deadline deadline deadline S4 high frequency switching deadline high frequency switching turn on turn on Table I

In the state S1, when the AC mains is not energized, the power supply 100 is turned off. At this time, the value of the input voltage V _IN and the output voltage V _OUT is 0, the unidirectional diodes D1~D2, the rectifier diodes D3~ D6, the power switch Q1, and the rectifier switches QR1~QR2 are all off.

The power supply 100 will be activated after the AC mains is turned on, and the value of the input voltage V _IN is no longer 0 at this time. At the same time, the pulse width modulation circuit 30 outputs a control signal GD0 with a specific duty cycle so that the power switch Q0 can perform high-frequency switching between on and off states. During the period when the power switch Q0 is turned on, the primary side energy can be induced to the first secondary side winding NS1 through the primary side winding NP1 to charge the excitation inductance LM1 in the first excitation circuit 31 and induced to the second secondary side winding NS2 is used to charge the magnetizing inductance LM2 in the second magnetizing circuit 32 . At the same time, the primary side energy will also be induced to the auxiliary winding _NAUX through the primary side winding NP1 to provide the starting voltage _VC required to start the driving circuit 40, and then provide the control voltage GD1 with a specific duty cycle so that the rectifier switch QR1 can be turned on Do high-frequency switching between the off-state and the excitation inductance LM1 at this time, the stored energy of the magnetizing inductor LM1 can periodically charge the output capacitor C _OUT . Since the power supply 100 has not been connected to any device in the state S2, the detection pin T1 will not receive any signal, so the auxiliary switches QA1 and QA2 are turned off, and the auxiliary switch QA2 of the rectifier switch QR2 will also be turned off due to the turning off , thereby cutting off the path between the energy stored in the magnetizing inductor LM2 and the output end of the power supply 100 . In state S2, the output voltage V _OUT of the power supply 100 is supplied by the first secondary side winding NS1.

When the power supply 100 is activated and connected to the load device 200 , the detection pin T1 is electrically connected to the detection pin T2 to receive the detection signal S _DT provided by the load device 200 . For the purpose of illustration, it is assumed that when the load device 200 operates in the power saving mode, the power supply 100 receives the detection signal S _DT with the enable level.

In the state S3, when the power supply 100 is activated and connected to the load device 200 operating in the normal mode, the power supply 100 will not receive the detection signal S _DT with the enable level, so the auxiliary switch QA1 and the auxiliary switch QA1 The switch QA2 is turned off, and the auxiliary switch QA2 of the rectifier switch QR2 is also turned off due to the turned off, thereby cutting off the path between the stored energy of the magnetizing inductor LM2 and the output end of the power supply 100 . In state S3, the output voltage V _OUT of the power supply 100 is supplied by the first secondary side winding NS1.

In the state S4, when the power supply 100 is activated and connected to the load device 200 operating in the power saving mode, the power supply 100 will receive the detection signal S _DT with an enable level to turn on the auxiliary switch QA1 and the auxiliary switch QA1. Switch QA2. Under this condition, the control voltage GD1 provided by the driving circuit 40 will be transmitted to the control terminal of the rectifier switch QR2 through the auxiliary switch QA2 that is turned on, so that it can perform high-frequency switching between the on and off states, thereby allowing the magnetizing inductance LM2 The memory energy can periodically charge the output capacitor C _OUT . On the other hand, the control terminal of the rectifier switch QR1 is pulled to the ground potential GND2 by the turned-on auxiliary switch QA1, and then turned off to cut off the path between the stored energy of the magnetizing inductor LM1 and the output terminal of the power supply 100. In state S4, the output voltage V _OUT of the power supply 100 is supplied by the second secondary side winding NS2.

As mentioned above, the system voltage required by the load device 200 to operate in the power saving mode is lower than the system voltage required to operate in the normal mode, and the number of turns NS1 of the first secondary winding in the transformer TR is greater than that of the second The number of turns of the secondary winding is NS2, and the inductance value of the magnetizing inductor LM1 is greater than that of the magnetizing inductor LM2. Therefore, when connected to the load device 200 operating in the normal mode, the power supply 100 will convert more AC voltage V _AC supplied by the mains, and supply power with a larger output power; when connected to the power saving mode When the load device 200 is in operation, the power supply 100 converts the AC voltage V _AC which is less supplied by the commercial power supply, and supplies power with a smaller output power. Therefore, the present invention can adjust the input power and output power of the power supply 100 at the same time according to the load condition, thereby achieving the purpose of energy saving.

If the rectifier switch QR1 of the first excitation circuit 31 and the rectifier switch QR2 of the second excitation circuit 32 are turned on at the same time, it may cause a short circuit at the secondary side of the transformer TR, which may cause a safety problem. If the first secondary side winding NS1 and the second secondary side winding NS2 output voltage energy at the same time, the output voltage V _OUT may be too high to trigger the overvoltage protection mechanism. In this regard, the power supply 100 of the present invention can utilize the buffer circuit 50 to avoid the above situation from occurring. The buffer capacitor CB1 in the buffer circuit 50 can delay the action of the rectifier switch _QR2 , thereby preventing the rectifier switch QR1 and the rectifier switch QR2 from being turned on at the same time. The buffer capacitor CB2 in the buffer circuit 50 can delay the action of the rectifier switch _QR2 , thereby preventing the first secondary side winding NS1 and the second secondary side winding NS2 from outputting voltage energy at the same time.

In the present invention, the value of the output capacitor C _OUT can be 680μF (error ±20%), the value of the buffer capacitor C _B1 can be 100nF (error ±10%), the value of the buffer capacitor C _B2 can be 100nF (error ±10%) %), the value of resistance R _X can be 2MΩ (error ±15%), the value of start-up resistance R _ST can be 20Ω (error ±1%), and the value of detection resistance R _DT can be 1KΩ (error ±10%) ). However, the implementation of the above elements does not limit the scope of the present invention.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the power switch Q0, the rectifier switch QR1, the auxiliary switch QA1, the rectifier switch QR2, and the auxiliary switch QA2 may be metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) , bipolar junction transistor (BJT), or other components with similar functions. For N-type transistors, the enable potential is high and the disable potential is low; for P-type transistors, the enable potential is low and the disable potential is high. However, the types of switches mentioned above do not limit the scope of the present invention.

To sum up, in the electronic system of the present invention, the load device 200 provides a detection signal related to its operation mode. In this way, when the load device 200 operates in the power saving mode, the power supply 100 can supply power with lower input power and output power, thereby achieving the purpose of energy saving.
