Abstract

A switching circuit operates with a first operating state and a second operating state. During the first operating state, the switching circuit allows a switching current to linearly increase. During the second operating state, the switching circuit allows the switching current to linearly decrease. A control circuit is coupled to the switching circuit for controlling the switching circuit to operate with the first operating state or the second operating state. A setting circuit generates a threshold signal for the control circuit to ensure that during the first operating state the switching current linearly increases to become higher than or equal to a current value set by the threshold signal. Thereby, the switching current is prevented from linearly decreasing to reverse polarity during the second operating state.

Figure 2 shows the waveform timing diagram of the inductance lightning and ☆ τ of the same boat + # U step switching type buck regulator. As shown, the curve 2ι represents the waveform of the inductor current II in the operation of the continuous mode 1 (C__S Mode). In the change period Ts, the change of the inductor current U appears as a triangular wave, and its: the rising portion corresponds to the upper side open_HS is in the conducting state and the voltage source Vin supplies the energy to the electric "L, and its linear falling portion is: The upper side of the open II HS is in a non-conducting state, and the amount stored in the inductor l is released to the load RL. The average of the curve 21. That is, the current supplied to the load R1 via the output stage: path. ^ Line 22 represents the waveform of the inductor current IL in the discontinuous mode (Disc〇ntinu(10)s M〇(je). At time u, a switching cycle begins, so the upper switch HS turns on to cause the inductor current to rise linearly. T2, when the inductor current 1L rises to the peak value 1Peak2 of the slope-compensated error signal Ve~α and ,, the upper switch HS becomes non-conducting, causing the inductor current iL to then begin to decrease linearly. At time t3, the inductor current k 7 1259345 has been reduced to zero, however, the next switching knife change cycle % still has to wait until the time begins. In this case, the electric deceleration τ μ μ μ μ μ μ μ μ α α α α α α α α α α α α α α α α The phenomenon of polarity reversal occurs, that is, the direction of the flow of the inductor current IL is 180 degrees. Therefore, the Hurricane Switching Buck regulator of Xi Li Men's Whitening is additionally equipped with a current reversal detection. Circuit Ρ σ.

Specially, even if the current reversal detection is set, or even the asynchronous: _us) switching voltage regulator (also uses the power electric body and the flywheel diode) The body of the force "flow", the polarity reversal phenomenon ^ road), can effectively prevent the inductance of the electric ... turn phenomenon. However, as shown in Figure 2, the inductor current IL in the discontinuous mode is time P1 In this case, the output voltage V ′ is maintained at zero in the second interval. In this case, high frequency noise is formed. ~ Avoiding the occurrence of a continuous up and down shock disk. [Inventive content] In view of the foregoing problems, the type of voltage regulator can be, in order to provide a continuous mode of continuous material, avoiding inconsistency < Disadvantages. The inventor observes the cold current, the current value of the cup, and the switching cycle. When the voltage of the inductor is adjusted to the average current of the IM "two inductors, the switching type is between the continuous mode and the + continuous mode. The critical operation 1259345::: The peak current flowing through the inductor at this time can be called the critical peak of the continuous mode: (Threshold Peak Current). The switching type % voltage regulator according to the present invention is provided with a critical peak current setting circuit. The critical peak current signal is used to represent the critical peak current of the continuous mode. When the peak current flowing through the inductor is greater than the critical peak current, since: = continuous mode, there is no need to adjust the current flowing through the inductor. When the peak current of the inductor is detected to be less than the critical peak current, the voltage regulator is prevented from operating in the discontinuous mode, * = the current is such that its ♦ value current is still substantially equal to the critical peak current, , = ensuring the switching voltage regulation The device continues to operate in continuous mode. (4) The present invention provides a switching voltage regulation crying, a two-switching circuit, a control circuit, and a _ setting power The switching operation is performed in the first operating state and the second operating state. In the first falling state, the switching circuit allows a switching current to linearly increase. In the second operation state: switching allows the switching current to linearly decrease. The control circuit is light. Combined with 1:, +, to control the switching circuit to operate in the first or second operation state, and the circuit generates a -critical signal, so that the control circuit responds to the Sa-Bound: number to ensure that the switching current is linear in the first operating state. Increased to: 〆 is equal to a current set by the critical signal; linearly reduced to polarity reversal in the second operating state. 2, another mode of the invention 'provided-type switching voltage regulator:: method 'Includes the following steps. The control-switching circuit operates on a second power to allow a linear increase in switching current. The switching is controlled in the second operating state to allow the switching current to be linearly reduced by 1259345. The switching is controlled. The circuit operates in the step of the first operational state to ensure that the switching current linearly increases to greater than or equal to a _critical current, thereby controlling the switching circuit to operate in the second In this step of the state, the current is prevented from linearly decreasing to polarity inversion. According to still another aspect of the present invention, a threshold current setting circuit is provided, including a -th circuit, a second circuit, and a third circuit. A circuit generates a -first current signal in response to a voltage signal. The first current signal is proportional to the voltage signal. The second circuit generates a second current signal in response to the first current and the -cycle signal. The current signal represents a periodically varying current. The third circuit generates a third current signal. The first current/claw 彳 唬 represents a predetermined current value. By the third to the fifth current signal - Combinational Simulation Approximation - Critical Current Signal [Embodiment] The foregoing description of the invention and other objects, features, and advantages of the invention will be apparent. According to the detailed description of the figure, according to the average person, after carefully observing Fig. 2, it is found that the relative relationship between the peak current flowing through the inductor and I has 1: in the continuous mode and the discontinuous mode. Specifically, in the continuous mode, for example, the curve 21 senses the peak value of the L·, and the sixth is {the iave 丨 is larger than the flow 黾, for example, the curve 22: the second half. However, in the discontinuous mode, less than the flow through: Γ: operation, the average current flowing through the inductor L "2, - half of the peak current of the inductor L, because there is a switching cycle Ts every 10 1259345 - The inductor current iL is substantially zero for a part of the time (in the case of a current reversal prevention device). Therefore, in order to avoid the switching voltage, the peripheral device is operated in the discontinuous mode, and the peak of the inductance must be ensured. Leihu & _ & ϊ ^, one of the claws + is less than or equal to the average current flowing through the inductor. As shown in Figure 3, the curve on the curve 3Q represents the waveform of the inductor current IL in the critical operating state. Everything is sloppy ^,

Please note that the invention is also used in the case where the electric w feedback circuit 16 and the critical peak current setting circuit C are set to directly output current property signals. In other words, an electric=to-voltage converter is additionally provided in the current feedback circuit 16 to set the threshold current of the stomach to the output of the stomach to convert the output current property signal into a voltage-conducting enthalpy. Another feasible method Then, the voltage-to-current conversion is used to replace the error signal U of the voltage property into a current property signal, and the comparator 21 is designed as a current property comparison circuit in the same day. In this case, the current The feedback circuit 16 and the critical peak current setting circuit 45 are also not directly counted as direct output current property signals. From the square (1), the critical peak setting signal Vpeak_TH varies with the duty ratio. Outside the steady state has been established, the working ratio of 15 1259345 is stable with the Thunderbolt, ::=;: The instantaneous operating state changes.
