Description
本發明大體上係關於遲滯型降壓轉換器控制方案,及更具體言之,係關於一降壓轉換器控制電路,其中一輸出電流的指示被用於動態地調整開啟時序。
在低輸出電流位準下,運送高電流位準的脈衝寬度調變(PWM)控制器與其他類型的切換電源調節器在高負載條件下係沒有效率的。因為對於低輸出電流位準,該脈衝寬度變得非常窄,所以用於操作該等切換電路與控制/感測電路且通常不隨負載電流需求改變的電源支配轉換器的功率消耗,使該轉換器在低需求條件期間非常沒有效率。經常實施替代控制器模式,以在一待機低功率模式下操作該轉換器,其中該全轉換器動態效能係不可用的,但是保持一最小輸出電壓以在該負載電流需求為低時提供所需的電源供應電壓。經常在低功率操作模式下使用脈衝頻率調變(PFM)電路,因為該脈衝頻率可基於負載需求而隨意減小。遲滯型控制電路(其中該輸出電壓保持在兩個預定的設定點之間)已經應用於提供此等低功率操作模式。遲滯型轉換器具有一寬的動態範圍與潛在的低功率消耗,因為其等僅在該輸出電壓下降低於一可接受限制時啟動。
而且,在複雜性或PWM操作所需電源係不合乎需要的低功率應用中,遲滯型控制器有時用於為輸出電流的所有位準提供電源供應控制演算法,因為該控制電路自身可完全
置於待機模式中,僅需要操作該低限電壓感測電路。當必須提高該輸出電壓時,該低限電壓感測電路的輸出可接著啟動該轉換器的剩餘部分。進而,在任何應用中,其中一PWM轉換器的瞬態回應對於回應於負載瞬態是不夠快速的,遲滯型轉換器亦用於對改變負載條件提供一快速回應。
在典型的遲滯型轉換器中,當該輸出電壓下降低於一低限臨界值時,提供一恆定寬度脈衝,注射電荷進入該輸出電容器將該輸出電壓提高一預定數量。然而,若該輸出電流或輸入電壓條件正在變化,則此種轉換器會產生一不良的漣波位準,因為該恆定寬度脈衝不回應於不同位準的負載電流或輸入電壓。在其他類型的遲滯型轉換器中,監視該輸入電壓與其他電源供應條件及控制該輸出脈衝的寬度,使得該漣波位準被控制至一比該等恆定寬度控制器可提供者更高的程度。
然而,由於該轉換器回應所需之時間,以上遲滯型控制器、負載瞬態之各者或輸入電壓下降會導致該低限臨界值的下衝。在該恆定寬度轉換器中,該輸出電壓可能需要一些脈衝以恢復,且在該寬度可控遲滯型轉換器中出現一初始下衝(undershoot),其藉由已經觸發的脈衝糾正。
因此,提供一種藉由控制下衝而在一遲滯型轉換器中減小漣波的電源供應電路與控制方法將是需要的。
在一降壓切換電壓調節器電路與一操作該降壓切換電壓
調節器電路的方法中提供以上陳述的在一遲滯型轉換器中控制下衝的目的。
該降壓切換電壓調節器電路係藉由預計由於負載電流改變引起的漣波的幅值而提供改良的漣波控制。該電路可為在一切換調節器的待機模式中啟動的一控制電路,例如在更高電流輸出需求期間使用一PWM控制模式及在更低電流輸出需求條件期間進入待機模式的一PWM調節器。一比較電路比較該轉換器的輸出電壓與產生自該轉換器的輸出電流的一指示的波形,使得該轉換器的開啟時間隨著該輸出電流需求增加而提前及調節該更低電壓限制以防止下衝低於規定的較低漣波電壓限制。該轉換器的關閉時間係由限制漣波電壓最大值的一上限臨界值而控制。該輸出電流指示可為輸出電流的一量測,或可為計算自該輸入電壓與該輸出電壓波形的一值。
根據下文對本發明之較佳實施例的更特定描述,如附圖所顯示,本發明之以上與其他的目的、特徵與優點將是顯然的。
本發明涉及用於提供對一降壓切換電壓調節器的控制的電路與方法,其中藉由依照由一負載汲取的輸出電流的一指示而控制開啟臨界值以防止漣波下衝。該輸出電流指示可藉由直接量測該輸出電流而提供,或如將在下文之描述中顯示,可計算自該輸出電壓波形與該輸入電壓值。
現在參考圖1A,其顯示依照本發明之一實施例的一降壓
切換電壓調節器電路。一控制電路,在電晶體P1由控制信號/sa啟動時,控制器10A提供閘極驅動信號至串聯耦合一電感器L1於一輸入電壓源VIN
與輸出端子VOUT
之間的一切換電路SWA。當電晶體N1由控制信號sb啟動時,切換電路SWA在輸出端子VOUT
及與輸入電壓源VIN
和輸出端子VOUT
相關的一通常返回路線(地)之間並聯耦合電感器L1。輸出電容器C1濾波該降壓切換電壓調節器電路的輸出,使得產生在該輸出端子VOUT
的電壓除一漣波電壓外,大致上保持恆量。在低需求,亦即對於供應至一負載ZL
的低電感器電流IL
,控制器10A於不連續導通模式(DCM)下操作,首先啟動電晶體P1以透過電感器L1對輸出電容C1充電,然後釋放電晶體P1及啟動電晶體N1以將儲存於電感器L1的能量釋放至電容上,及然後直到輸出端子VOUT
的電壓下降低於一臨界幅值時最後釋放電晶體N1。在電感器電流IL
的較高位準,控制器10A可作為一遲滯型轉換器於連續導通模式(CCM)下操作,或者可直接轉換至另一CCM控制演算法,例如脈衝寬度調變(PWM)。即使CCM操作經實施用於該轉換器的遲滯操作,PWM或其他操作模式可在電感器電流IL
的一範圍超過遲滯CCM操作所使用者後予以開動。
在本發明之降壓切換電壓調節器中,該臨界幅值用於判定電晶體P1的開啟時間係產生自提供自輸出端子VOUT
至一負載的輸出電流的一指示及產生自提供自電壓源VIN
的輸入電壓幅值的一時間變化波形,使得隨著該輸出電流增加或該輸入電壓減小,電晶體P1的啟動時間在時間上較早發
生,及隨著輸出電流減小或該輸入電壓增加,電晶體P1的啟動時間在時間上較遲發生。該臨界幅值係計算自該輸出電流的一指示,其可為藉由一感測電阻RS
產生的該輸出電流的一量測,其提供不同於該輸出端子VOUT
電壓而正比於輸出電流Io
的一電壓+VILOAD
。(為了闡釋之目的,VOUT
亦指定為-VILOAD
。)控制器10A自由電壓源VIN
提供之輸入電壓與輸出端子VOUT
之電壓計算電晶體P1之關閉時間,其亦為電晶體N1之開啟時間,使得輸出端子VOUT
處的漣波電壓不超過一規定的最大值。最後,如由跨於電阻RL
之電壓(+/-VIL
)量測到達一零值或一微小負值,可藉由透過電感器L至電容器C1提供之電感器電流IL
控制電晶體N1的關閉時間,以確保沒有剩餘的能量儲存在電感器L中。
現在參考圖1B,其顯示根據本發明之另一實施例之一降壓切換電壓調節器。圖1B的降壓切換電壓調節器類似於圖1A的降壓切換電壓調節器,因此下文將僅描述其等之間之不同。此外,圖1B之降壓切換電壓調節器中的各種特徵可作為圖解於圖1A之降壓切換電壓調節器之特徵的替代物,且反之亦然。切換電路SWB使用兩個N型電晶體N2與N1及接收自一控制器10B的對應閘極控制信號sa與sb。藉由對閘極控制信號/sa之極性的合適改變,一N通道對亦可用於圖1A的降壓切換電壓調節器。控制器10B僅接收兩種控制輸入值:輸入源VIN
的電壓與輸出端子VOUT
的電壓。控制器10B依照由各自的輸入源VIN
及自輸出端子VOUT
提供的兩個控制輸入信號值(Vout
,Vin
)來實現所有切換控制,以產生
閘極控制信號sa與sb。藉由對閘極控制信號sa之極性的合適改變,可使用一P-N切換級,例如圖1A所顯示之切換電路SWA。由於該輸出電流與輸出端子VOUT
的電壓波形及電壓源VIN
的電壓關聯,電晶體N1的開啟時間可由兩個輸入控制信號值(Vout
,Vin
)判定,如下文將更詳細描述者。
現在參考圖2A,其顯示圖1A之控制器之詳情。當輸出電流IO
下降低於一臨界值時,或者當PWM控制器24經由一外部控制信號置於待機狀態時,一對三態緩衝器26A與26B藉由PWM控制器24提供之一控制信號模式啟動。當控制信號模式為啟動時,PWM控制器24的閘極控制輸出被置於一高阻抗狀態,使得控制器10A內由電路平衡實施的遲滯型控制器提供閘極控制輸出信號/sa與sb。一臨界值產生器與控制電路20A提供一臨界電壓至一比較器K1,其設定一臨界幅值(電壓信號Vlow
),使其低於該幅值時輸入控制信號Vout
啟動一開始信號,其藉由啟動觸發器22A的設定輸入而觸發閘極控制信號/sa的起始邊緣。當輸入控制信號Vout
的幅值上升超過另一臨界電壓VHIGH
時,另一比較器K2啟動觸發器22A的重設輸入與一觸發器22B的設定輸入,其觸發閘極控制信號/sa的後沿與閘極控制信號sb的前沿。當電感器電流IL
下降低於一零值或微小負值時,臨界值產生器與控制電路22A亦提供一控制信號至觸發器22B重設輸入,以觸發閘極控制信號sb的後沿。
現在參考圖2B,其顯示圖1B之控制器10B之詳情。控制器10B類似於圖2A的控制器10A,因此下文將僅描述其等
之間的不同。控制器10B係提供作為一最小輸入控制器之一實例,及同時例示在遲滯模式下提供所有控制之一控制器。然而,當然該最小輸入組態可與另一控制器類型(例如圖2A所示的PWM控制器24)用於待機模式。臨界值產生器與控制電路20B接收控制輸入信號(Vout
,Vin
)及藉由自控制輸入信號(Vout
,Vin
)計算臨界電壓VLOW
與VHIGH
產生臨界電壓VLOW
與VHIGH
,如下文將更詳細描述者。提供一計時器28,其大體上是操作自一時脈信號之一計數器鏈,以為閘極控制信號sa之持續時間計時,用於計算閘極控制信號sb之一合適寬度,因為控制器20B不直接量測電感器電流IL
。
現在參考圖3A,其顯示用於不連續導通模式(DCM)在圖2A的臨界值產生器與控制電路20A及圖2B的臨界值產生器與控制電路20B內的計算。需要確保輸出端子VOUT
上的漣波電壓不下降低於一規定的最小值VMIN
的臨界電壓幅值VLOW
的值,可或者使用如顯示於圖2A的控制電路20A的輸出電流IO
的一量測值或者藉由使用如顯示於圖2B的控制電路20B的計算自控制信號值(Vin
,Vout
)的輸出電流IO
的一指示予以判定。假定輸出端子電壓VOUT
為恆量,同時閘極控制信號sa係啟動的,則電感器電流可估計為:IL
(t)=(Vin
-Vout
)(t-t0
)/L其中L為電感器L1的電感值,及因此在t1
時刻:IL
(t1
)=I0
=(Vin

)/L因此,
t1
-t0=I0
L/(Vin

)假定一電感器電流IL
,則輸出端子VOUT
自時刻t0
至時刻t1
的實際電壓下降由△V=IL
△t/2C給出,其中C為輸出端子VOUT
處總的輸出電容值。為了保持輸出端子VOUT
處的電壓高於最小電壓VMIN
,閘極控制信號sa應在不遲於控制信號Vout
下降至一臨界位準的時刻予以啟動。

可計算為:VLOW

L/2C(Vin

)因此,一旦已知該電感器與電容器的值,即可由輸入電壓信號Vin
與控制信號Vout
及電感器電流IL
判定臨界電壓VLOW
之一波形,因為係在臨界幅值VLOW
相交的時刻,IL
(t1
)=I0
。
為了判定用於由VLOW
=I0 2
L/2C(Vin

)計算臨界幅值VLOW
的負載電流,可直接量測該負載電流或藉由估計為之。因為跨電容器C1自時刻t0

)藉由量測該充電切換(例如圖1A的電晶體P1或圖1B的電晶
體N2)處於開啟的時刻之間的時間(例如計數時脈週期),可計算I0
及將其用作電感器電流IL
之一估計,因為I0
與IL
之間的不同除在非常輕的負載情況下以外大體上係小的。或者,可由自時刻t2

以上運算式可用於基於控制信號Vin
與Vout
的先前值產生或計算對於作為一離散值的臨界幅值VHIGH
的一個值,或產生一連續波形以控制該上限臨界幅值。
在以上計算之各者中,假定該電路於不連續導通模式(DCM)下操作,亦即經操作使得儲存在電感器L1中的所有能量在時刻t0
與t5
得以釋放。然而,在較高負載條件下,本發明之電路可於連續導通模式(CCM)下操作及對於最佳操作,對該較低臨界幅值VLOW
的計算發生變化。然而,對該上限臨界幅值VHIGH
的計算與以上描述相同。現在參考圖3B,其顯示此種操作。在圖3B的信號圖中,時刻t4
係缺失的,因為不存在兩個切換電晶體(充電及放電)都關閉的
重要時段。在連續導通模式下,假定輸出電壓Vout

為了判定CCM下的負載電流,如以上對DCM之描述,可直接量測或估計該負載電流。因為跨電容器C1自時刻t0

在CCM下,進一步最佳化臨界幅值VLOW

與時刻t6
之間的時段,自電容器C1失去的總電荷由(I0

其與CCM及DCM兩者中的VHIGH
運算式相同。因此對於CCM,VLOW

現在參考圖4A與圖4B,其顯示對圖1A與圖1B的降壓切換電壓調節器電路、圖2A的控制器10A與圖1B的控制器10B的操作,及下文更加詳細地描述上文所描述的在控制器10A與10B中使用以判定切換時間的計算。其只顯示
