當充電電池的電力耗盡時,使用者可將充電器連接於外部電源,並以充電器對充電電池進行充電。When the power of the rechargeable battery is exhausted, the user can connect the charger to an external power source and use the charger to charge the rechargeable battery.

在充電過程中,充電器內部的充電積體電路(IC)會偵測輸入電壓並限制輸入電壓的範圍,以保護後段電路的安全,因而侷限應用範圍,例如:無法利用汽車電池所提供的外部電源、無法直接使用不同電壓的配接器(adapter)等。有鑑於此,本案提供一種充電電路與充電控制方法,其由控制單元取代充電IC來監控輸入電壓,並據以控制充電IC的運作,藉以提升適用之輸入電壓的範圍,同時能避免未充電時電源輸出端出現漏電流。During the charging process, the charging integrated circuit (IC) inside the charger will detect the input voltage and limit the range of the input voltage to protect the safety of the back-end circuit, thus limiting the application range, such as the inability to use the external power provided by the car battery.

The content is sufficient for any person skilled in the art to understand and implement the technical content of the present invention, and according to the content disclosed in this specification, the scope of patent applications and the drawings. Anyone skilled in the relevant art can easily understand the related objects and advantages of the present invention.

參照圖1,充電電路10包含電源輸入端Ni、電源輸出端No、控制單元110、轉換單元130、充電單元150以及檢壓電路170。控制單元110電性連接至電源輸入端Ni。轉換單元130耦接在控制單元110與充電單元150之間。充電單元150耦接在電源輸入端Ni與電源輸出端No之間。於此,充電單元150具有一偵測接腳Pdt,並且偵測接腳Pdt耦接轉換單元130。檢壓電路170耦接在電源輸入端Ni與控制單元110之間。於此,控制單元110具有一工作範圍。1, the charging circuit 10 includes a power input terminal Ni, a power output terminal No, a control unit 110, a conversion unit 130, a charging unit 150, and a voltage detection circuit 170. The control unit 110 is electrically connected to the power input terminal Ni. The conversion unit 130 is coupled between the control unit 110 and the charging unit 150. The charging unit 150 is coupled between the power input terminal Ni and the power output terminal No. Here, the charging unit 150 has a detection pin Pdt, and the detection pin Pdt is coupled to the conversion unit 130. The voltage detection circuit 170 is coupled between the power input terminal Ni and the control unit 110. Here, the control unit 110 has a working range.

參照圖1及圖2,電源輸入端Ni接收充電電路10外部供電源(圖未示)的輸入電壓Vi(步驟S11)。檢壓電路170擷取輸入電壓Vi以生成相關於輸入電壓Vi的一檢測電壓Vd(步驟S13)。控制單元110接收檢測電壓Vd(步驟S15),並確認檢測電壓Vd是否落入工作範圍(步驟S16)。於此,檢測電壓Vd與輸入電壓Vi具有一固定的比例關係。Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the power input terminal Ni receives an input voltage Vi from an external power supply (not shown) of the charging circuit 10 (step S11). The voltage detection circuit 170 captures the input voltage Vi to generate a detection voltage Vd related to the input voltage Vi (step S13). The control unit 110 receives the detection voltage Vd (step S15), and confirms whether the detection voltage Vd falls within the working range (step S16). Here, the detection voltage Vd and the input voltage Vi have a fixed proportional relationship.

於檢測電壓Vd落入工作範圍時,控制單元110輸出一導通電壓So給轉換單元130(步驟S17)。轉換單元130根據導通電壓So產生工作電壓Sa至充電單元150的偵測接腳Pdt(步驟S19)。於偵測接腳Pdt接收到工作電壓Sa時,充電單元150根據輸入電壓Vi產生充電電流Io(步驟S21)。When the detection voltage Vd falls within the working range, the control unit 110 outputs a turn-on voltage So to the conversion unit 130 (step S17). The conversion unit 130 generates an operating voltage Sa to the detection pin Pdt of the charging unit 150 according to the on-voltage So (step S19). When the detection pin Pdt receives the operating voltage Sa, the charging unit 150 generates a charging current Io according to the input voltage Vi (step S21).

於檢測電壓Vd落於工作範圍外時,控制單元110則不輸出導通電壓So(步驟S18);此時,轉換單元130則無法產生工作電壓Sa給充電單元150的偵測接腳Pdt(步驟S20),以致充電單元150停止運作(步驟S21)。When the detection voltage Vd falls outside the working range, the control unit 110 does not output the on-voltage So (step S18); at this time, the conversion unit 130 cannot generate the working voltage Sa to the detection pin Pdt of the charging unit 150 (step S20) ), So that the charging unit 150 stops operating (step S21).

在一些實施例中,充電IC 151具有一允許範圍,並且前述之工作電壓Sa係落入此允許範圍。並且,控制單元110的工作範圍大於允許範圍。於此,允許範圍為由第一電壓值與第二電壓值所構成的一電壓範圍,並且第一電壓值與第二電壓值為彼此不同的二固定值。換言之,工作電壓Sa是介於第一電壓值與第二電壓值之間。在一示範例中,第一電壓值與第二電壓值可分別為2.4V及3.15V。In some embodiments, the charging IC 151 has an allowable range, and the aforementioned operating voltage Sa falls within the allowable range. And, the operating range of the control unit 110 is larger than the allowable range. Here, the allowable range is a voltage range composed of the first voltage value and the second voltage value, and the first voltage value and the second voltage value are two fixed values different from each other.

Here, when the voltage signal received by the detection pin Pdt falls within the allowable range (ie, the detection pin Pdt receives the operating voltage Sa), the charging IC 151 generates an appropriate signal. Here, when the voltage signal received by the detection pin Pdt does not fall within the allowable range (ie, the detection pin Pdt does not receive the operating voltage Sa), the charging IC 151 does not generate an appropriate signal. In an exemplary embodiment, the working voltage Sa may be a voltage signal at a first level.

In an exemplary example, the notification signal has different two levels (hereinafter referred to as the third level and the fourth level). Among them, the notification signal of the third level is an appropriate signal. In other words, when the notification pin outputs a notification signal at the fourth level, it means that the charging IC 151 has not generated a proper signal.

The enabling circuit generates a driving signal according to the working voltage Sa received by the detection pin Pdt and outputs a driving signal through the driving output pin Prg. In an exemplary embodiment, the enabling circuit may include a first comparator, a second comparator, a logic element, and a generator. The first comparator is coupled to the detection pin Pdt. The first comparator compares the potential (eg, the operating voltage Sa) of the detection pin Pdt with a wake-up voltage value to generate a first comparison result. The second comparator is coupled to the power supply pin (not shown). The second comparator compares the detection pin Pdt with a power supply upper limit to generate a second comparison result. The logic element is coupled to the output of the first comparator, the output of the second comparator, and the input of the signal generator. The logic element generates a consistent energy signal to the signal generator according to the first comparison result and the second comparison result, so that the signal generator outputs a driving signal. The wake-up voltage value is a fixed value, for example, 0.6V. The upper limit of the power supply is a fixed value, for example, 3.75V.

輸出電路的輸入端耦接開關訊號產生電路,而輸出電路的輸入端耦接開關控制接腳Phd、Pld。輸出電路的驅動端耦接致能電路及開關驅動接腳Pbt、Pph。換言之,當偵測接腳Pdt接收到工作電壓Sa時,致能電路會生成驅動訊號,以驅動輸出電路將開關訊號產生電路產生的開關訊號經由開關控制接腳Phd、Pld輸出至開關電路153的控制端G1、G2。反之,當偵測接腳Pdt未接收到工作電壓Sa時,致能電路則不會生成驅動訊號,因此禁能輸出電路;此時,充電IC 151停止運作(即禁止充電單元150輸出充電電流Io)。The input terminal of the output circuit is coupled to the switch signal generating circuit, and the input terminal of the output circuit is coupled to the switch control pins Phd and Pld. The driving end of the output circuit is coupled to the enabling circuit and the switch driving pins Pbt and Pph. In other words, when the detection pin Pdt receives the operating voltage Sa, the enabling circuit generates a driving signal to drive the output circuit to output the switching signal generated by the switching signal generating circuit to the switching circuit 153 via the switching control pins Phd and Pld. Control terminals G1, G2. Conversely, when the detection pin Pdt does not receive the operating voltage Sa, the enable circuit does not generate a drive signal, so the output circuit is disabled; at this time, the charging IC 151 stops operating (ie, the charging unit 150 is prohibited from outputting the charging current Io ).
