Description

回授電路 Feedback circuit

本發明係關於電子電路之技術領域,尤指應用於電源轉換器與電源供應器之中的一種回授電路。 The present invention relates to the technical field of electronic circuits, and more particularly to a feedback circuit for use in a power converter and a power supply.

隨著電子科技之發展與進步,各式各樣的電子設備與產品被廣泛地應用於人們的日常生活之中,而傳統上係使用一線性電源供應器(linear power supply)提供穩定的電壓/電流給電子設備。然而,傳統的線性電源供應器具有體積龐大、電源轉換效率低等缺點,因此荷蘭人羅乃第(Neti R.M.Rao)於美國專利號US 4,253,137之中揭示了切換式電源供應器技術(Switch Mode Power Supply,SMPS)。 With the development and advancement of electronic technology, a wide variety of electronic devices and products are widely used in people's daily lives, and traditionally use a linear power supply to provide a stable voltage / Current is supplied to the electronic device. However, the conventional linear power supply has the disadvantages of being bulky and having a low power conversion efficiency. Therefore, the switch mode power supply technology (Switch Mode Power) is disclosed in the U.S. Patent No. 4,253,137 by Neti R. Supply, SMPS).

切換式電源供應器之技術也被應用於LED電源供應器(或稱LED驅動器)之中。請參閱圖1,為習用的一種LED電源供應器的電路方塊圖。如圖1所示,習用的LED電源供應器1’係包括:耦接電壓源VS’的一電磁干擾濾波單元10’、一整流單元11’、一PFC單元 12’(功率因素修正單元)、一功率開關單元13’、一變壓器單元14’、一輸出濾波整流單元15’、一回授單元16’、一PWM(脈寬調變,Pulse Width Modulation)控制單元17’、以及一調光單元19’;其中,該回授單元16’通常由一誤差放大器單元161’與一光耦回授器162’所構成。並且,如熟悉電力電子電路技術之工程人員所熟知的,誤差放大器單元161’通常包括電壓誤差放大器1611’與電流誤差放大器1612’。 Switched power supply technology is also used in LED power supplies (or LED drivers). Please refer to FIG. 1 , which is a circuit block diagram of a conventional LED power supply. As shown in FIG. 1 , a conventional LED power supply 1 ′ includes: an electromagnetic interference filtering unit 10 ′ coupled to a voltage source V S ′, a rectifying unit 11 ′, and a PFC unit 12 ′ (power factor correcting unit). a power switch unit 13', a transformer unit 14', an output filter rectification unit 15', a feedback unit 16', a PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) control unit 17', and a dimming The unit 19'; wherein the feedback unit 16' is generally constituted by an error amplifier unit 161' and an optocoupler feedback device 162'. Also, as is well known to those skilled in the art of power electronic circuitry, the error amplifier unit 161' typically includes a voltage error amplifier 1611' and a current error amplifier 1612'.

必須特別說明的是,吾人可以根據美國專利公開號US2013/0127356(A1)所教示的有關LED驅動電路之回授控制技術得知,電壓誤差放大器1611’與電流誤差放大器1612’係透過一電壓採樣單元VSU’與一電流採樣單元CSU’而分別自輸出端取得一電壓採樣訊號與一電流採樣訊號。進一步地,透過光耦回授器162’輸出誤差訊號至PWM控制單元17’,使得該PWM控制單元17’能夠對應地輸出一脈寬調變訊號以控制該功率開關單元13’之開關,藉此達到穩定LED電源供應器1’之輸出訊號的效果。 It must be specifically noted that the voltage error amplifier 1611' and the current error amplifier 1612' are transmitted through a voltage sampling according to the feedback control technique of the LED driving circuit taught by US Patent Publication No. US2013/0127356 (A1). The unit V SU ' and a current sampling unit C SU ' respectively obtain a voltage sampling signal and a current sampling signal from the output end. Further, the optocoupler 162' outputs an error signal to the PWM control unit 17', so that the PWM control unit 17' can correspondingly output a pulse width modulation signal to control the switch of the power switch unit 13'. This achieves the effect of stabilizing the output signal of the LED power supply 1'.

熟悉LED驅動電路開發設計的電子工程師可以透過圖1得知,根據調光單元19’所發出的調光控制訊號與電流採樣訊號,該電流誤差放大器1612’係輸出一電流誤差信號至該PWM控制單元17’;同樣地,該電壓誤差放大器1611’亦根據電壓採樣訊號而對應地輸出一電壓誤差信號至該PWM控制單元17’。並且,值得注意的是,只有用以通知PWM控制單元17’調降LED電源供應器1’之輸出電壓/電流的誤差信號會透過OR邏輯閘1613’被輸出。 An electronic engineer familiar with the development and design of the LED driving circuit can know, according to FIG. 1, that the current error amplifier 1612' outputs a current error signal to the PWM control according to the dimming control signal and the current sampling signal sent by the dimming unit 19'. The unit 17'; likewise, the voltage error amplifier 1611' correspondingly outputs a voltage error signal to the PWM control unit 17' according to the voltage sampling signal. Also, it is worth noting that only the error signal for instructing the PWM control unit 17' to lower the output voltage/current of the LED power supply 1' is output through the OR logic gate 1613'.

顯然,習知技術主要係利用由電壓誤差放大器1611’、電流誤差放大器1612’與OR邏輯閘1613’所組成的誤差放大器單元161’進以根據調光單元19’所輸出的調光控制訊號而促動PWM控制單元17’維持LED電源供應器1’之輸出電壓/電流的穩定輸出。然而,肇因於該回授單元16’與該PWM控制單元17’僅能夠單一地調降輸出電壓或電流,即使習知的LED電源供應器1’能夠對LED燈具2’進行定電流或定電壓驅動,習之技術所採用的回授控制技術並無法令LED電源供應器1’維持定功率輸出。 Obviously, the conventional technology mainly uses the error amplifier unit 161' composed of the voltage error amplifier 1611', the current error amplifier 1612' and the OR logic gate 1613' to input the dimming control signal according to the dimming unit 19'. The PWM control unit 17' is actuated to maintain a stable output of the output voltage/current of the LED power supply 1'. However, because the feedback unit 16' and the PWM control unit 17' can only individually reduce the output voltage or current, even the conventional LED power supply 1' can regulate the current of the LED lamp 2'. Voltage-driven, the feedback control technology used by the technology does not allow the LED power supply 1' to maintain a constant power output.

有鑑於習知技術所使用的回授單元16’僅能夠單一地維持LED電源供應器1’的定電壓輸出或定電流輸出而無法令LED電源供應器1’維持定功率輸出,本案之發明人係極力加以研究發明,而終於研發完成本發明之一種回授電路。 In view of the prior art, the feedback unit 16' can only maintain the constant voltage output or the constant current output of the LED power supply 1' alone, and the LED power supply 1' cannot maintain the constant power output. The inventor of the present invention The invention was vigorously studied, and finally a feedback circuit of the present invention was developed.

不同於習知技術所使用的回授單元僅能夠單一地維持LED電源供應器的定電壓輸出或定電流輸出,本發明之主要目的,在於提供一種回授電路,其特別有助於維持LED電源供應器的定電流、定電壓與定功率輸出,並於主要構成上包括:一採樣單元、一回授單元、一訊號轉換單元、與一訊號調整單元。於此回授電路的運作上,回授單元內的電流誤差放大器會根據電流採樣訊號與訊號轉換單元所輸出的一調光訊號而輸出一電流誤差訊號,以通知PWM(脈寬調變,Pulse Width Modulation)控制單元維持LED電源供應器之定 電流輸出。同時,根據電壓採樣訊號與基準訊號調整單元所輸出的調整訊號,回授單元內的電壓誤差放大器與PWM控制單元相互配合,進而使得LED電源供應器的輸出定電壓隨著輸出定電流而適應性地調整,藉此方式維持LED電源供應器的定功率輸出。 Unlike the feedback unit used in the prior art, which can only maintain the constant voltage output or the constant current output of the LED power supply, the main object of the present invention is to provide a feedback circuit, which is particularly useful for maintaining the LED power supply. The constant current, constant voltage and constant power output of the supplier include a sampling unit, a feedback unit, a signal conversion unit, and a signal adjustment unit.

At the same time, according to the voltage sampling signal and the adjustment signal output by the reference signal adjusting unit, the voltage error amplifier and the PWM control unit in the feedback unit cooperate with each other, so that the output constant voltage of the LED power supply adapts with the output constant current. Ground adjustment, in this way to maintain the constant power output of the LED power supply.

Briefly, in the design of the present invention, the current error amplifier 111 is not directly coupled to the external dimming circuit 4. So, according to the current sampling signal and a reference signal, the current error amplifier 111 outputs a current error signal to the PWM control unit 27 through the optical coupler 113, so that the PWM control unit 27 correspondingly outputs a first pulse width.
