本發明係有關一種電源供應模式控制電路、電源供應電路及電源供應模式控制方法，尤指一種能夠自動切換脈衝寬度及脈衝頻率調變模式的電源供應模式控制電路、電源供應電路及電源供應模式控制方法。The invention relates to a power supply mode control circuit, a power supply circuit and a power supply mode control method, in particular to a power supply mode control circuit, a power supply circuit and a power supply mode control capable of automatically switching a pulse width and a pulse frequency modulation mode. method.

隨著電子技術的蓬勃發展，電子產品已被人們廣為使用，從而使得電子產品的電力供應問題成為非常重要的課題。目前，電子產品普遍使用開關電源供應模式來實現電力的供應。開關電源通常有脈衝寬度調變(Pulse Width Modulation，PWM)和脈衝頻率調變(Pulse Frequency Modulation，PFM)兩種模式。With the rapid development of electronic technology, electronic products have been widely used, making the power supply problem of electronic products a very important issue. At present, electronic products generally use a switching power supply mode to achieve power supply. Switching power supplies usually have two modes: Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) and Pulse Frequency Modulation (PFM).

上述脈衝寬度調變與脈衝頻率調變兩種模式的切換，大都先透過結構複雜的電子裝置電壓偵測電路及電子裝置電流偵測電路以計算出電子裝置的消耗功率，再根據此消耗功率以決定要將開關電源切換至脈衝寬度調變模式或脈衝頻率調變模式。當電子產品在消耗功率較高的條件下進行工作時，開關電源切換至脈衝寬度調變模式；相反的，當電子產品在消耗功率較低的條件下進行工作時，開關電源則切換至脈衝頻率調變模式。由於偵測電子裝置的電壓及電流的電路的設計過程較為複雜，電路元件較多，因此使得此電路設計的成本較高。並且偵測電子裝置的電壓及電流的電路還需佔用較大的印刷電路板面積，不能夠滿足現代電子設備的小型化趨勢的發展要求。The switching between the pulse width modulation and the pulse frequency modulation mode is mostly performed by using a complicated electronic device voltage detecting circuit and an electronic device current detecting circuit to calculate the power consumption of the electronic device, and then according to the power consumption. Decided to switch the switching power supply to pulse width modulation mode or pulse frequency modulation mode. When the electronic product operates under high power consumption conditions, the switching power supply switches to the pulse width modulation mode; conversely, when the electronic product operates under low power consumption, the switching power supply switches to the pulse frequency. Modulation mode. Since the design process of the circuit for detecting the voltage and current of the electronic device is complicated and there are many circuit components, the cost of the circuit design is high.

The power consumption parameters mentioned here are a predetermined ratio between the power consumed by each function and the total power consumed by all functions. In the present embodiment, the power consumed when operating as a single function accounts for a percentage of the total power consumed by all functions as a power consumption parameter. Specifically, for example, when the electronic device 50 is a mobile phone, it is assumed that the power consumed by the functions of the information, the address book, the multimedia, and the like are 0.5 watts, 0.6 watts, and 0.8 watts, respectively, and all the functions of the electronic device 50 are consumed.

In addition, the level stored in the storage module 302 in this embodiment is between 15% and 25%, but the specific level value can also be set according to actual needs.

請繼續參閱圖2。在本實施例中，檢測模組304用以檢測每一功能是否正在運作，並輸出相對應的運作檢測結果。計算模組306電性耦接至儲存模組302與檢測模組304以接收運作檢測結果，並根據運作檢測結果計算相對應的運作功耗參數。此處所提的運作功耗參數為正在運作的功能的功耗參數的總和。例如，當電子裝置50為手機時，假設資訊、通訊錄、多媒體功能運作時的功耗參數分別為5%、6%及8%，而此時正在運作的功能有資訊功能與多媒體功能，則運作功耗參數為5%加上8%，亦即為13%。Please continue to see Figure 2. In this embodiment, the detecting module 304 is configured to detect whether each function is operating, and output a corresponding operational detection result. The computing module 306 is electrically coupled to the storage module 302 and the detection module 304 to receive the operational detection result, and calculates a corresponding operational power consumption parameter according to the operational detection result. The operational power consumption parameters mentioned here are the sum of the power consumption parameters of the function being operated. For example, when the electronic device 50 is a mobile phone, it is assumed that the power consumption parameters of the information, the address book, and the multimedia function are 5%, 6%, and 8%, respectively, and the function being operated at this time has information function and multimedia function, The operating power consumption parameter is 5% plus 8%, which is 13%.

再者，如圖所示，控制模組308電性耦接至計算模組306以接收前述的運作功耗參數，並根據此運作功耗參數與儲存於儲存模組302中的準位來決定以第一供應模式或第二供應模式提供電源20所產生的電力至電子裝置50。具體地，在本實施例中，當運作功耗參數大於準位時，控制模組308就會致能(enable)脈衝寬度調變電路10並禁能(disable)脈衝頻率調變電路40，藉此以脈衝寬度調變模式提供電源20所產生的電力至電子裝置50；相對的，當運作功耗參數小於準位時，控制模組308就會致能脈衝頻率調變電路40並禁能(disable)脈衝寬度調變電路10，藉此以脈衝頻率調變模式提供電源20所產生的電力至電子裝置50。Moreover, as shown, the control module 308 is electrically coupled to the computing module 306 to receive the aforementioned operational power consumption parameter, and is determined according to the operating power consumption parameter and the level stored in the storage module 302. The power generated by the power source 20 is supplied to the electronic device 50 in the first supply mode or the second supply mode. Specifically, in this embodiment, when the operating power consumption parameter is greater than the level, the control module 308 enables the pulse width modulation circuit 10 and disables the pulse frequency modulation circuit 40. Thereby, the power generated by the power source 20 is supplied to the electronic device 50 in a pulse width modulation mode; in contrast, when the operating power consumption parameter is less than the level, the control module 308 enables the pulse frequency modulation circuit 40 and The pulse width modulation circuit 10 is disabled, whereby the power generated by the power source 20 is supplied to the electronic device 50 in a pulse frequency modulation mode.

接下來請參閱圖3，圖3是根據本發明一實施例的電源供應模式控制方法的流程圖。此電源供應模式控制方法包括下列步驟：Next, please refer to FIG. 3. FIG. 3 is a flowchart of a power supply mode control method according to an embodiment of the present invention. This power supply mode control method includes the following steps:

步驟S300，設定對應每一功能運作時的功耗參數。此功耗參數為各功能運作時所耗的功率與所有些功能運作時所耗的總功率間的預定比率。在本實施方式中，功耗參數為功能運作時所耗的功率占所有些功能運作時所耗的總功率的百分比，但並不以此為限，功耗參數也可為其它計算方式。In step S300, a power consumption parameter corresponding to each function operation is set. This power consumption parameter is a predetermined ratio between the power consumed by each function and the total power consumed by some functions. In this embodiment, the power consumption parameter is a percentage of the total power consumed by the function when the function is operated, but is not limited thereto, and the power consumption parameter may also be other calculation modes.

步驟S302，檢測每個功能是否正在運作以得到相對應的運作檢測結果。Step S302, detecting whether each function is operating to obtain a corresponding operation detection result.

步驟S304，根據運作檢測結果計算相對應的運作功耗參數。此運作功耗參數為正在運作的功能的功耗參數的總和。Step S304, calculating a corresponding operational power consumption parameter according to the operation detection result. This operational power consumption parameter is the sum of the power consumption parameters of the function being operated.

步驟S306，根據運作功耗參數與準位來控制電源的輸出模式。具體地，當運作功耗參數大於準位時，控制電源的輸出模式為脈衝寬度調變模式；相對的，當運作功耗參數小於準位時，控制電源的輸出模式為脈衝頻率調變模式。Step S306, controlling the output mode of the power source according to the operating power consumption parameter and the level. Specifically, when the operating power consumption parameter is greater than the level, the output mode of the control power source is a pulse width modulation mode; in contrast, when the operating power consumption parameter is less than the level, the output mode of the control power source is a pulse frequency modulation mode.

下面配合圖2與圖3舉一實例詳細說明本發明電源供應模式控制方法的工作過程。假設某一個電子裝置包含有5個功能，此些功能分別為第一功能、第二功能、第三功能、第四功能及第五功能，並假設第一功能、第二功能、第三功能、第四功能及第五功能運作時的功耗參數分別為10%、15%、20%、25%及30%。滿載時，即所有功能運作時的功耗參數為100%，設定準位為25%(步驟S300)。檢測模組304檢測正在運作的功能，例如檢測到僅有第一功能正在運作，並將這個檢測到的運作檢測結果輸出給計算模組306(步驟S302)。計算模組306根據運作檢測結果而從儲存模組302取得先前設定好的功耗參數(對應於第一功能的功耗參數為10%)，並將所有的功耗參數相加以得到運作功耗參數(在此因為只有第一功能在運作，所以運作功耗參數等同於第一功能的功耗參數10%)。(步驟S304)。控制模組308比較運作功耗參數與準位之後發現運作功耗參數(10%)小於先前設定的準位(25%)，因此控制模組308就控制電源20的輸出模式為脈衝頻率調變模式(致能圖1所示的PFM電路40並禁能PWM電路10)(步驟S306)。The working process of the power supply mode control method of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to FIG. 2 and FIG. It is assumed that an electronic device includes five functions, which are a first function, a second function, a third function, a fourth function, and a fifth function, respectively, and assumes a first function, a second function, a third function, The power consumption parameters of the fourth function and the fifth function are 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, and 30%, respectively. At full load, that is, the power consumption parameter of all functions is 100%, and the setting level is 25% (step S300). The detection module 304 detects the function being operated, for example, detecting that only the first function is operating, and outputs the detected operation detection result to the calculation module 306 (step S302). The calculation module 306 obtains the previously set power consumption parameter from the storage module 302 according to the operation detection result (corresponding to the power consumption parameter of the first function is 10%), and adds all the power consumption parameters to obtain the operating power consumption. The parameter (because only the first function is operating, the operating power consumption parameter is equivalent to 10% of the power consumption parameter of the first function). (Step S304). After the control module 308 compares the operating power consumption parameters and the level, the operating power consumption parameter (10%) is found to be smaller than the previously set level (25%), so the control module 308 controls the output mode of the power source 20 to be pulse frequency modulation. The mode (the PFM circuit 40 shown in FIG. 1 is enabled and the PWM circuit 10 is disabled) (step S306).

假若當步驟S302中，檢測模組304檢測到第一功能、第二功能及第三功能同時運作，那麼在步驟S304中，計算模組306將從儲存模組302中取得先前設定好的功耗參數(對應於第一功能的功耗參數為10%、對應於第二功能的功耗參數為15%與對應於第三功能的功耗參數為20%)，並計算出此時的運作功耗參數為45%(10%+15%+20%)。在此狀況下，控制模組308因為在步驟S306中比較得知運作功耗參數大於準位25%，所以控制電源20的輸出模式為脈衝寬度調變模式(致能圖1所示的PWM電路10並禁能PFM電路40)。If the detection module 304 detects that the first function, the second function, and the third function are simultaneously operated in step S302, then in step S304, the calculation module 306 will obtain the previously set power consumption from the storage module 302. The parameter (corresponding to the power consumption parameter of the first function is 10%, the power consumption parameter corresponding to the second function is 15%, and the power consumption parameter corresponding to the third function is 20%), and the operation work at this time is calculated. The consumption parameter is 45% (10% + 15% + 20%). In this case, because the control module 308 knows that the operating power consumption parameter is greater than the standard 25% in step S306, the output mode of the control power source 20 is the pulse width modulation mode (the PWM circuit shown in FIG. 1 is enabled). 10 and disable the PFM circuit 40).

總結來說，相較於習知技術，本發明之電源供應電路、電源供應模式控制電路及控制方法不需要設置偵測電子裝置的電壓及電流的電路，而是透過預先儲存準位以及對應每一些功能運作時的功耗參數，再檢測每一些功能是否正在運作，並輸出相對應的運作檢測結果，又根據運作檢測結果計算相對應的運作功耗參數，並根據運作功耗參數與準位以決定以脈衝寬度調變模式或脈衝頻率調變模式提供電源至電子裝置50，藉此實現脈衝寬度調變模式與脈衝頻率調變模式的自動切換，從而節省成本、減小佔用印刷電路板的面積。In summary, the power supply circuit, the power supply mode control circuit, and the control method of the present invention do not need to be provided with a circuit for detecting the voltage and current of the electronic device, but by pre-storing the level and corresponding to each other. The power consumption parameters of some functions are operated, and then each function is detected to be running, and the corresponding operation detection result is output, and the corresponding operation power consumption parameter is calculated according to the operation detection result, and according to the operation power consumption parameter and the level The power supply to the electronic device 50 is provided in a pulse width modulation mode or a pulse frequency modulation mode, thereby realizing automatic switching between the pulse width modulation mode and the pulse frequency modulation mode, thereby saving cost and reducing occupation of the printed circuit board. area.
