Description

Switching converter control system and method

Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to the field of integrated circuits, and in particular, relate to a switching converter control system and method.

Generally, in order to improve power density, high-power buck converters used in the automotive field usually use dual N-type metal-oxide-semiconductor (N-Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor, NMOS) power MOS field-effect transistors as power stages, At the same time, in order to achieve a wider range of input voltage and output voltage, it is expected to allow the output voltage V _OUT of the system to be close to its input voltage V _IN , that is, it is expected to be able to work at a 100% duty factor. However, since the upper transistor is an NMOS power MOS field-effect transistor architecture, the lower transistor needs to be turned on periodically to charge the bootstrap capacitor C _BST of the upper transistor to meet the requirements of the driving voltage V _BST for the upper transistor NMOS . However, due to the periodic opening of the down tube, a 100% mission factor cannot be achieved.

In the prior art, in order to solve the above problems, the following two solutions are usually adopted. The first solution is to set a maximum duty factor (for example, about 97%) for the system in each cycle, so that the output voltage V _OUT can reach a maximum of 97%. *V _IN . In this way, the peak current mode buck converter system will work in an open-loop state, and the output voltage signal V _COMP of its error amplifier will reach the internal upper clamp value. When the input voltage V _IN rises, due to the voltage The signal V _COMP recovers more slowly, resulting in a larger output voltage ripple. In addition, the system still has switching action every cycle, which will cause switching loss and conduction loss.

The second solution is to reduce the switching frequency of the system when the output voltage V _OUT is close to the input voltage V _IN to further increase the equivalent duty factor. In this way, the switching loss and conduction loss can be reduced to a certain extent, but there is still the problem of output voltage ripple due to the increase of the input voltage V _IN , and at the same time, the change of frequency will also bring electromagnetic waves to the automotive electronic system. Interference (Electromagnetic Interference, EMI) problem.

To sum up, the switching converters provided by the prior art cannot provide an output voltage with better ripple characteristics, higher efficiency and better EMI capability while achieving 100% duty factor.

Referring to FIG. 2, FIG. 2 shows a switching converter provided by an embodiment of the present invention A schematic structural diagram of a specific implementation of the control system. The circuit structure shown in FIG. 2 is a specific implementation of the switching converter control system shown in FIG. 1 .

As an example, as shown in FIG. 2, the low dropout controller 1108 may include a first branch, a second branch, and a third branch, where the first branch may be used for system-based input voltage V _IN and output Voltage V _OUT to generate the pulse signal ENTER, the second branch can be used to generate the pulse signal EXIT based on the reference voltage V _REF2 and the voltage signal V _COMP from the error amplifier 1106, and the third branch can be used to generate the pulse signal EXIT based on the pulse signal PASS_THRU A pulse signal PULSE is generated to adjust the clamp threshold of the upper clamp circuit 1110 based on the pulse signal PULSE, wherein the pulse signal PASS_THRU is generated using the RS flip-flop Q2 based on the pulse signal EXIT.

Specifically, the first branch can be used to compare the input voltage V _IN with a certain multiple of the output voltage (for example, 1.05*V _OUT ), and perform a series of logical operations on the comparison result to obtain the pulse signal ENTER, and the second The branch can be used to compare the reference voltage V _REF2 and the voltage signal V _COMP , and perform a series of logic operations on the comparison result to obtain the pulse signal EXIT, and the third branch can be used to perform a series of logic on the pulse signal PASS_THRU Operation to get the pulse signal PULSE.

As an example, the first branch may include a comparator CMP1, an inverter, a delay module DLY1, and an AND gate, etc., wherein the first input terminal (for example, a non-inverting input terminal) of the comparator CMP1 may be used to receive a certain multiples of the output voltage (for example, 1.05*V _OUT ), the second input terminal (for example, the negative input terminal) can be used to receive the input voltage V _IN , and the comparator CMP1 can be used for a certain multiple of the output voltage and the input voltage V _IN is compared to generate a first comparison result, the output terminal of the comparator CMP1 can be connected to the input terminal of an inverter, and the inverter can be used to invert the first comparison result, the output terminal of the inverter It can be connected to the first input terminal of the AND gate via a delay module DLY1, which can be used to delay the inverted first comparison result for a preset time t _DLY1 (see FIG. 3 ), and the second input terminal of the AND gate. The input end can be connected to the output end of the comparator CMP1, and the AND gate can be used to perform a logic "AND" operation on the first comparison result and the inverted and delayed first comparison result to output the pulse signal ENTER.

As an example, the second branch may include a comparator CMP2, an inverter, a delay module DLY1, and an AND gate, etc., wherein the first input terminal (for example, a non-inverting input terminal) of the comparator CMP2 may be used to receive the reference Voltage V _REF2 , the second input terminal (eg, the negative input terminal) can be used to receive the voltage signal V _COMP from the error amplifier, and the comparator CMP2 can be used to compare the reference voltage V _REF2 and the voltage signal V _COMP to generate The second comparison result, the output terminal of the comparator CMP2 can be connected to the input terminal of the inverter, and the inverter can be used to invert the second comparison result, and the output terminal of the inverter can pass through the delay module DLY1 Connected to the first input terminal of the AND gate, the delay module DLY1 can be used to delay the inverted second comparison result for a preset time t _DLY1 (see Figure 3), and the second input terminal of the AND gate can be connected to the comparison The output terminal of the device CMP2, the AND gate can be used to perform logic "AND" operation on the second comparison result and the inverted and delayed second comparison result to output the pulse signal EXIT.

As an example, the first input terminal (for example, the set terminal) of the RS flip-flop Q2 can be used to receive the pulse signal ENTER, and the second input terminal (for example, the reset terminal) can be used to receive the pulse signal EXIT, based on the pulse signal ENTER and EXIT to generate the pulse signal PASS_THRU.

As an example, the third branch can include a delay module DLY2, an inverter, and an AND gate, etc., wherein the output terminal of the RS flip-flop Q2 can be connected to the first input terminal of the AND gate via the delay module DLY2, and the delay The module DLY2 can be used to delay the pulse signal PASS_THRU for a preset time t _DLY2 to provide the delayed pulse signal to the AND gate, and the output terminal of the RS flip-flop Q2 can also be connected to the second input of the AND gate via an inverter terminal to provide the inverted pulse signal to the AND gate, so that the AND gate can perform a logic "AND" operation on the delayed pulse signal and the inverted pulse signal to generate a pulse signal PULSE at a high level, thereby When the pulse signal PULSE is at a high level, the clamping threshold of the upper clamping element circuit 1110 can be changed from the preset V _CLP1 to V _SUM , so that the value of the voltage signal V _COMP is quickly clamped to the value of V _SUM .

As an example, the current-sensing resistor R _SENSE and the current-sensing amplifier A _CS 1101 can be used to sample the current on the inductor L1 , so as to convert it into a current I _SENSE proportional to the inductor current.

As an example, the summing resistor R _SUM can be used to superimpose the slope compensation current I _SLOPE and the sampling current I _SENSE to generate a slope voltage V _{SUM that can be used to characterize the inductor current signal, wherein the slope voltage V SUM can} be used as As a clamp threshold of the upper clamp circuit 1110, when the system enters the closed-loop modulation mode from the low dropout mode, the clamp threshold of the upper clamp circuit 1110 is changed from the clamp threshold (for example, V _CLP1 ) becomes the slope voltage V _SUM , the voltage signal V _COMP is clamped by using the threshold V _SUM , and another clamping threshold of the upper clamping unit circuit 1110 is the clamping threshold (for example, V _CLP1 ) to use When the system is in the low dropout mode and the closed-loop modulation mode, the voltage signal V _COMP is clamped by using the clamping threshold V _CLP1 , so that the voltage signal V _COMP does not exceed the clamping threshold V _CLP1 .

As an example, the PWM comparator 1107 can be used to compare the ramp voltage V _SUM and the voltage signal V _COMP , and generate a switch control signal CMP_OUT with a duty factor adjustment function.

As an example, when the low-side power transistor M _LS is always off, since the bootstrap capacitor C _BST cannot be charged, in this case, the floating voltage source 1114 can be used to charge the bootstrap capacitor C _BST , thereby generating The voltage V _BST that can be used to drive and supply power to the high-side power transistor M _HS enables the high-side power transistor M _HS to always be turned on.

As an example, the charge pump circuit 1115 can be used to generate a voltage V _CP to power the floating voltage source 1114 , wherein the voltage V _CP is usually higher than the input voltage V _IN , for example, about 5V higher than the input voltage V _IN .

As an example, the low dropout controller 1108 can be used to control the loop to enter and exit the low dropout mode, wherein, after entering the low dropout mode, the pulse signal PASS_THRU changes from low level to high level, and the signal CTRL changes to high level In response to the high level of the signal CTRL, the high-side power transistor M _HS is always turned on, and the low-side power transistor M _LS is always turned off. When exiting the low-dropout mode, the pulse signal PASS_THRU changes from high to low. level, and generate a pulse signal PULSE, the high level time of the pulse signal PULSE is t _DLY2 , the pulse signal PULSE can be used to control the clamp element threshold of the upper clamp element circuit 1110, for example, when the pulse signal PULSE is high level Usually, the clamp threshold of the upper clamp circuit 1110 can be changed from the preset clamp threshold V _CLP1 to V _SUM .

As an example, the upper clamping element circuit 1110 can be used to clamp the output voltage signal V _COMP from the error amplifier 1106, for example, when the switching converter control system is in the low dropout mode and the closed-loop modulation mode, using the upper The clamping threshold V _CLP1 of the clamping element circuit 1110 is used to clamp the output voltage signal V _COMP of the error amplifier 1106, so that the voltage signal V _COMP does not exceed the clamping threshold VCLP1. When the switching converter control system enters from the low dropout mode At the time of the closed-loop modulation mode, based on the pulse signal PULSE, the clamping threshold of the upper clamping unit circuit 1110 is changed from V _CLP1 to V _SUM , so that the error amplifier can be controlled by the clamping unit threshold V _SUM of the upper clamping unit circuit 1110 The voltage signal V _COMP at 1106 is clamped so that the value of the voltage signal V _COMP is quickly clamped to the value of the clamping threshold V _SUM .

The control principle of the switching converter control system will be described in detail below by way of example with reference to FIG. 2 .

As an example, when the input voltage V _IN is greater than 1.05*V _OUT , the system works in closed-loop modulation mode (Regulation Mode), the pulse signal PASS_THRU is at low level, and the signal CTRL can be controlled by the pulse width modulation signal PWM. At the rising edge of each CLK, the pulse width modulation signal PWM is at a high level, and the high-side power transistor M _HS starts to conduct, so that the voltage V _SUM on the summing resistor R _SUM starts to rise. When the PWM comparator 1107 detects a slope When the voltage V _SUM is greater than the voltage signal V _COMP , the output switch control signal CMP_OUT is at a high level, the flip-flop Q1 receives the switch control signal CMP_OUT and outputs a pulse width modulation signal PWM at a low level, and the high-side power transistor M _HS starts Turn off, the low-side power transistor M _LS starts to conduct. In this way, the output voltage V _OUT reaches the set regulation value.

As an example, as the input voltage V _IN gradually decreases (or the output voltage V _OUT gradually increases during the Soft Startup phase of the system), when the input voltage V _IN is less than a certain multiple of the output voltage (for example, 1.05*V _OUT ), the system enters the low-dropout mode, the pulse signal PASS_THRU changes from low level to high level, and the signal CTRL changes to high level, so that the high-side power transistor M _HS can always be turned on, and the low-side power transistor M _LS can always be turned on. off. However, since the low-side power transistor M _LS is always turned off, the bootstrap capacitor C _BST cannot be charged. In this case, the embodiment of the present invention may use, for example, a floating voltage source 1114 to charge the bootstrap capacitor C _BST . Therefore, a voltage V _BST that can be used to drive and supply the high-side power transistor M _HS is generated, so that the high-side power transistor M _HS can always be turned on. In addition, the embodiment of the present invention can use the charge pump circuit 1115 to generate the voltage V _CP to supply power to the floating voltage source 1114 . After the system enters the low dropout mode, the output voltage signal V _COMP of the error amplifier 1106 will gradually become higher. In this case, the embodiment of the present invention may use the upper clamp circuit 1110 to clamp the voltage signal V _COMP at preset clamping threshold near V _CLP1 .

As an example, in the low dropout mode, the slope compensation current signal is turned off based on the pulse signal PASS_THRU, specifically, when the pulse signal PASS_THRU becomes high level, the embodiment _of the present invention can use the switch S1 to turn off the slope compensation current , to prevent the voltage V _SUM on the summation resistor R _SUM from continuing to rise when the high-side power transistor M _HS is turned on. Wherein, the inverter 1103 can be used to invert the pulse signal PASS_THRU, and the gate 1104 can be used to perform logic "AND" operation on the inverted pulse signal and the pulse width modulation signal PWM, and based on the input from the AND gate 1104 The output signal is used to control the on and off of the switch S ₁ , for example, the slope compensation current I _SLOPE can be turned off by turning off the switch S ₁ , or the slope compensation current can be turned on by turning on the switch S ₁ .

As an example, when the input voltage V _IN increases gradually, the output voltage V _OUT increases with the increase of the input voltage V _IN because the control system of the switching converter still works in the low dropout mode, and because the feedback voltage V _FB It is used to characterize the output voltage V _OUT , so the feedback voltage V _FB increases with the increase of the output voltage V _OUT , when the error amplifier 1106 detects that the feedback voltage V _FB begins to be greater than V _REF , the output voltage of the error amplifier 1106 The signal V _COMP will gradually decrease. When the comparator CMP2 detects that the voltage signal V _COMP is less than the reference voltage V _REF2 , the system exits the low dropout mode, the pulse signal PASS_THRU changes from high level to low level, and the control signal CTRL changes from pulse width to Modulation signal PWM to control.

Next, the system returns to the closed-loop modulation mode. When the pulse signal PASS_THRU signal changes from high level to low level, a high level pulse signal PULSE is generated, and its high level duration is t _DLY2 , and the pulse signal PULSE can be used to control the clamp threshold of the upper clamp circuit 1110, for example, when the pulse signal PULSE is at a high level, the clamp threshold of the upper clamp circuit 1110 changes from the clamp threshold V _CLP1 to V _SUM , So that the value of the voltage signal V _COMP can be quickly clamped to the value of the threshold V _SUM , in this way, the system can quickly switch from the low-dropout mode to the closed-loop modulation mode in a short enough time, thereby reducing the output of the system Voltage ripple due to mode switching.

In order to further understand the switching converter control system provided by the embodiment of the present invention, the working mode of the switching converter control system is introduced below with reference to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 , for example, FIG. 3 shows the switching converter provided by the embodiment of the present invention Schematic diagram of the waveforms of the control timing of the control system.

As an example, referring to Figure 3, it is shown that the system Schematic diagram of the waveform of the corresponding signal in the process of switching to the low dropout mode and then back to the modulation mode.

At time t1, when the comparator CMP1 detects that the input voltage V _IN is greater than 1.05*V _OUT , the comparator CMP1 outputs a low level, and the system starts a soft start, and the output voltage V _OUT is modulated by the system to rise with a preset slope.

As the output voltage rises, at time t2, when the comparator CMP1 detects that the input voltage V _IN is less than 1.05*V _OUT , the output of the comparator CMP1 changes from low level to high level, and the output from the comparator CMP1 A series of logic operations are carried out on the comparison result (for example, using the logic unit in the first branch to perform logic operations) to generate a pulse signal ENTER with a pulse width of _tDLY1 , and the pulse signal ENTER is input to one end of the RS flip-flop Q2 (for example , setting terminal), the pulse signal PASS_THRU is changed from low level to high level through the RS flip-flop Q2, and the system enters the low dropout mode.

At time t3, the input voltage V _IN begins to increase gradually. Since the high-side power transistor M _HS is always in the conduction state at this time, the output voltage V _OUT increases with the increase of the input voltage V _IN . Since the feedback voltage V _FB It is obtained by sampling the output voltage V _OUT , so the feedback voltage V _FB increases with the increase of the output voltage V _OUT , when the error amplifier 1106 detects that the feedback voltage V _FB begins to be greater than the reference voltage V _REF , the output voltage Signal V _COMP begins to fall.

After the pulse signal PASS_THRU becomes low level, the pulse signal PULSE changes from low level to high level, and its pulse width is t _DLY2 , when the pulse signal PULSE is at high level, the upper clamp element circuit 1110 The clamp threshold is changed from the clamp threshold V _CLP1 to V _SUM , so that the value of the voltage signal V _COMP is quickly clamped to the value of V _SUM .

At time t5, the pulse signal PULSE changes from a high level to a low level. When the pulse signal PULSE is at a low level, the clamp threshold of the upper clamp circuit 1110 recovers from V _SUM to the clamp threshold V _CLP1 , to Use the clamping threshold V _CLP1 to clamp the value of the voltage signal V _COMP so that the voltage signal V _COMP does not exceed the clamping threshold V _CLP1 , where the value of the voltage signal V _COMP can be determined by the load of the system and the input voltage V _IN and the output voltage V _OUT are determined.
