Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a voltage converter, and more particularly to a driving circuit and method applied to a voltage bar converter. ^ [Prior Art] In recent years, synchronous buck converters have become increasingly important in the application of switching regulators. The first figure is a conventional synchronous buck converter 10 in which the drive circuit 12 outputs drive signals UG and LG to drive the output stage 14 based on the signal IN. In the output stage 14, the high side transistor 1402 and the low side transistor 1404 are connected in series between the input voltage Vin and the ground GND, and the driving signals UG and LG switch the high side and the low side transistors 1402 and 1404 to generate a current I via the inductor L. The capacitor Co is charged to obtain an output voltage Vout. In the driving circuit 12, the signal IN is connected to the AND gate 1204, and is connected to the AND gate 1208 via an inverter 1202. The driving signal LG is connected to the other input terminal of the AND gate 1204 via the inverter 1206, according to the signal IN. And the output of the inverter 1206, and the gate 1204 output drive signal UG is driven by the driver 1212 to drive the high side transistor 1402, and the phase node 1403 is connected via the inverter 1210 to the other input of the gate 1208, according to the inverter 1202. And the output of the 1210, and the gate 1208 generates a driving signal 1 to drive the lower side transistor 1404 via the driver 1214. However, in the conventional design, in order to prevent the high-side and low-side transistors 1402 and 1404 from being simultaneously turned on, it is necessary to switch the conduction state between the high side and the low side switching, for example, when the signal IN is high by 1297976. When the level is converted to the low level, the driving signal UG outputted by the gate 1204, referring to the waveform 15 of the second figure, will be converted to a low level to cut off the pH of the voltage signal on the node 1403 of the high side transistor 1402'. The bit turns to the low level after the transistor 丨4〇2 is turned off. Referring to the waveform 16 of the second figure, the output of the reverse phase benefit 1210 is at a high level, and the drive of the gate 12〇8 is turned on. The signal LG' is switched from the low level to the high level by referring to the waveform π of the second figure, and the low side transistor 1404 is turned on. Therefore, the low side transistor 14〇4 is turned off after the high side transistor 1402 is turned off. After a delay time τι, the waveform 18 of the second figure is referred to. Similarly, when the signal IN is changed from the low level to the local level, the output of the inverted inverter 1202 is turned to the low level, so the driving signal LG outputted by the gate!2〇8 is turned to the low level, so the low side The transistor 1404 is turned off. At this time, the output of the inverter 12〇6 is turned from the low level to the high level, so that the driving signal UG outputted by the gate 1204 is turned to a high level, and the high side transistor 1402 is turned on. In other words, the high-side transistor 丨4〇2 must also be turned on after a delay time T2 after the low-side transistor 1404 is turned off. However, during the delay period, the output stage conducts the current I by the diode rectifier 1406 which is conventionally built in the lower side transistor 1404, and the diode rectifier 1406 of the transmission system has a high impedance. Therefore, the delay will cause some loss of efficiency. In order to maximize the power efficiency, it is important to appropriately switch the on-times of the high-side and low-side transistors 1402 and 1404. In the known art, a digital counter is used to optimize the delay time. For example, the control method for reducing the substrate conduction and the reverse recovery loss proposed by the US Patent No. 6,396,250 (control method to reduce 1297976 body diode). Conduction and reverse recovery losses)" However, such a digital adjustment method is limited. For example, only N><2ns(N=l, 2, 3,...) can be adjusted, if the delay time is not within the adjustment range, For example, 3ns, you can't achieve optimization. Therefore, a driving circuit and method capable of optimizing the switching timing of the high-side and low-side transistors are preferable. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION One object of the present invention is to provide a driving circuit and method applied to a voltage converter. According to the present invention, a driving circuit and method for applying a voltage converter includes: generating a first driving signal and a second driving signal according to a first control signal and a second control signal to drive a high side switch of the voltage converter And a low side switch, and controlling a delay of the first and second driving signals by a first signal, a second signal, the first and second control signals, the first signal being the first driving signal or a signal having the same phase as the first driving signal, the second signal being the second driving signal or a signal having the same phase as the second driving signal, when the delay of the first or second driving signal is too short Extending a delay time of the first or second driving signal when the working periods of the first and second driving signals overlap, and when the delay of the first or second driving signal is too long, the first and second When the non-working periods of the driving signals overlap, the delay time of the first or second driving signals is shortened. 1297976 [Embodiment] The third diagram is a synchronous buck converter 20 to which the present invention is applied, wherein the driving circuit 22 outputs the driving signals UG and LG to the output stage 24 switching switches SW1 and SW2 to convert the input voltage Vin into an output voltage Vout. Supply to the load RL. In the driving circuit 22, the gate 2202 is connected to the control signal U and the adjustment signal 0U, and the output signal Sa is output to the driver 2208 to generate the driving signal UG to drive the switch SW1, and the gate 2206 is connected to the control signal L and the adjustment signal 0L. The output signal Sb is output to the driver 2210 to generate the driving signal LG to drive the switch SW2. The phase lock circuit 2204 outputs the adjustment signal 0U according to the voltage signal PH, the driving signal LG, the control signals U and L on the phase node 2402. 0L. Since the voltage signal PH and the phase of the driving signal UG are almost exactly the same, in this embodiment, the voltage signal PH is used instead of the driving signal UG to be connected to the phase locking circuit 2204. In other embodiments, the driving signal UG or the driving signal UG or A signal having the same phase as the drive signal UG is connected to the phase lock circuit 2204, and similarly, a signal having the same phase as the drive signal LG may be connected to the phase lock circuit 2204. The fourth figure is an embodiment of the phase lock circuit 2204 in the third figure, wherein the logic circuit 30 uses the inverse OR gate 3002 to connect the driving signal LG and the voltage signal PH to obtain the signal S1, and the driving signal LG and the voltage signal PH are also connected to the gate. 3004, to obtain the signal S2, and the gates 3006 and 3008 switch the switches 3204 and 3206 in the charging and discharging circuit 32 according to the signals S1 and S2 and the control signal U output signals S3 and S4, respectively, to generate the charging electric power VI by the charging and discharging capacitor 3210. The control current source 36 supplies a charging current ii to the charging and discharging circuit 40 according to the charging voltage VI, and the control signal switching switch 4002 generates the adjustment signal 〇u by the charging and discharging capacitor 4〇〇4. On the other hand, the anti-free and idle 3010 and 3012 generate the charging voltage V2 according to the signals S1 and % and the control signal [generating the signals S5 and S6 to the charging and discharging circuit 34, and the switching switches 34〇4 and 3406 generate the charging voltage VDD by the charging/discharging capacitor 341? The voltage control current source 38 supplies the charging current 12 to the charging and discharging circuit 42 according to the charging voltage V2, and the control signal U switches the switch 4202 to generate the adjustment signal OL by the charging and discharging capacitor 4204.

The sixth graph shows the delay time of the drive signal UG. Referring to the third, fifth and sixth two in the k-between 1 ¥ 'the control signal U is turned from the low level to the high level, such as the first: wave, 5 〇 7K, drive signal UG and voltage signal The PH is still low. As shown in waveforms 52 and 54 of the second figure, the drive signal LG also maintains the waveform 56 as shown in the sixth figure, and therefore the signals output by the gates 3006 and 3〇〇8. And 3206 is turned on, and the charge 4 is low level, so the waveform 60 of the switch 3204 is shown, the heart, the original money level, such as the sixth switch 4002 is turned on, so the second grade L is turned from the high level to the low level The charging current source 36 generated by the bit is charged according to the level capacitance 4 加 added by the charging voltage V1, and when the signal is adjusted, the adjustment signal OU is connected to the waveform 62 of the ancient figure. At time t2: high level to turn on the switch: bit shift: = UG is low level, however, the drive signal is also converted to high level

為网準位,這表示驅動信號UG 1297976 的延遲時間不足,由於驅動信號LG及電壓信號PH均為高 準位,所以及閘3008輸出的信號S4為高準位,如第六圖 的波形58所示,以導通開關3206使電流源3208對電容 3210放電,降低充電電壓VI的準位,進而讓電壓控制電 流源36輸出的充電電流II變小,延長對電容4〇〇4的充 電時間,使得下次在控制信號U由低準位轉為高準位後, 需要更長的延遲時間才能使驅動信號UG由低準位轉為高For the grid level, this means that the delay time of the driving signal UG 1297976 is insufficient. Since the driving signal LG and the voltage signal PH are both at a high level, the signal S4 output by the gate 3008 is at a high level, as shown in the waveform 58 of the sixth figure. As shown, the current switch 3208 is discharged to the capacitor 3210 by the conduction switch 3206 to lower the level of the charging voltage VI, thereby making the charging current II outputted by the voltage control current source 36 smaller, and prolonging the charging time of the capacitor 4〇〇4. So that after the control signal U is turned from the low level to the high level next time, a longer delay time is required to make the driving signal UG change from the low level to the high level.

準位。假如在下次控制信號U由低準位轉為高準位後,驅 動h號UG及LG的工作週期仍重疊時,重複上述步驟再次 對電容3210放電,降低充電電壓VI的準位,以延長驅動 信號UG的延遲時間,直至驅動信號UG與LG的工作週期 不重疊為止。 / 第七圖顯示驅動信號UG的延遲時間過長時各传號的 時序圖,其中波形7〇係控制信號U,波形72係驅^^號 UG,波形74係電壓信號PH,波形76係驅動信號J ^ 形78係及閘3006輸出的信號S3,波形80係充電電壓π =準位’波形82係調節信號OU。參照第三圖、第五固及 第七圖,在時間tl時,控制信號U由低準位轉為高準j立, =時驅動信號UG及電壓信號PH均為低準位,^動㈣ 準^高準位,因此及閘3006及3008所輸出的信號均 立,故開關3204及3206均打開,充電電壓n 盾 準Γ又控制信號L由高準位轉低準位使得開關 打開,因此電壓控制電流源36根據充電電壓n 的充電電流II開始對電容4004充電,使調節信號〇u 1297976 始上升。在時_時,驅動信號LG由高準位轉 ’此時調節信號0U仍未達到高準位,因此驅動 ^ UG及電壓信號PH仍為低準位,這表示驅動作 =遲時間過長,故及閘屬輸出的信號S3轉為高狗立 ¥通開關3204,使得電流源3202開始對電容321〇充電 以,高充電電壓V1的準位,進而增加充電電流u,加快 電容4004的充電,縮短驅動信號卯的延遲時間。假如在 I次控制信號u由低準位轉為高準位後,驅動信號1仍 …、法在驅動信號LG由高準位轉低準位時轉為高準位,重 I上述步驟再次對電容3210充電,提高充電電壓W的準 位,進一步縮短驅動信號UG的延遲時間,直至驅動信號 此在驅動仏號LG由高準位轉低準位時立即轉為高準位。 參照第四圖,同樣地當驅動信號LG的延遲時間過短, 使驅動信號UG還未從高準位轉為低準位,驅動信^^便 轉為高準位時,反及閘3〇1〇輸出高準位的信號通開 關3404,使電親3402對電容_充電,提高充電電^ 的準位,進而增加充電電流12,縮短調節信號〇 =位升到高準位的時間,以延長驅動信號LG的延遲時間一。 =驅動信號LG的延遲時間過長,使驅動信號此從高準曰位 為:準位後,驅動信號LG還未轉為高準位時,反及閘 私2輪出高準位的信號S6導通開關3406,使電流源34〇8 少。對電容3410放電’降低充電電壓V2的準位,進而減 ^電電流12 ’增加調節信號QL從低準位升到高準位的 、 从縮短驅動信號LG的延遲時間。 11 1297976 【圖式簡單說明】 第一圖係傳統的同步降壓式轉換器; 第二圖顯示第一圖中各信號的時序圖; 第三圖係應用本發明的同步降壓式轉換器; 第四圖係第三圖中鎖相電路的一個實施例; 第五圖係第四圖中用以產生調節信號0U的電路; 第六圖顯示驅動信號UG的延遲時間過短時各信號的 時序圖;以及 第七圖顯示驅動信號UG的延遲時間過長時各信號的 時序圖。 【主要元件符號說明】Level. If the duty cycle of driving h UG and LG overlaps after the next control signal U is turned from the low level to the high level, repeat the above steps to discharge the capacitor 3210 again, and lower the level of the charging voltage VI to extend the driving. The delay time of the signal UG is not until the duty cycle of the drive signal UG and LG does not overlap. / The seventh figure shows the timing chart of each mark when the delay time of the drive signal UG is too long, wherein the waveform 7 is the control signal U, the waveform 72 is the drive number UG, the waveform 74 is the voltage signal PH, and the waveform 76 is driven. Signal J^ is 78 and signal S3 is output from gate 3006. Waveform 80 is the charging voltage π = level 'waveform 82 is the adjustment signal OU. Referring to the third figure, the fifth solid and the seventh figure, at time t1, the control signal U is changed from the low level to the high level, and the = drive signal UG and the voltage signal PH are both low level, (4) The high-level position is correct, so the signals output by the gates 3006 and 3008 are all equal, so the switches 3204 and 3206 are both turned on, and the charging voltage n is shielded and the control signal L is turned from the high level to the low level to make the switch open. The voltage controlled current source 36 begins to charge the capacitor 4004 based on the charging current II of the charging voltage n, causing the adjustment signal 〇u 1297976 to rise. At time _, the drive signal LG is turned from the high level. At this time, the adjustment signal 0U has not yet reached the high level, so the drive UG and the voltage signal PH are still at a low level, which means that the drive is too late. Therefore, the signal S3 outputted by the gate is turned into the high dog switch 3204, so that the current source 3202 starts to charge the capacitor 321 ,, the level of the high charging voltage V1, thereby increasing the charging current u, and accelerating the charging of the capacitor 4004. Shorten the delay time of the drive signal. If the control signal u is turned from the low level to the high level after the I control signal u, the driving signal 1 is still, and the method turns to the high level when the driving signal LG is turned from the high level to the low level, and the step I is again The capacitor 3210 is charged to increase the level of the charging voltage W, and the delay time of the driving signal UG is further shortened until the driving signal is immediately turned to the high level when the driving signal LG is turned from the high level to the low level. Referring to the fourth figure, similarly, when the delay time of the driving signal LG is too short, the driving signal UG has not been changed from the high level to the low level, and the driving signal is turned to the high level, and the gate is turned on. 1〇 output high-level signal pass switch 3404, so that the electric pro 3602 charges the capacitor _, raises the level of the charging electric^, thereby increasing the charging current 12, shortening the time when the adjusting signal 〇= bit rises to the high level, The delay time of the drive signal LG is extended by one. = The delay time of the drive signal LG is too long, so that the drive signal is clamped from the high level: after the level, the drive signal LG has not turned into the high level, and the signal S6 of the high level of the brakes is reversed. The switch 3406 is turned on to make the current source 34 〇 8 small.
