Description

電源轉換器的時間產生器Power converter time generator

本創作是有關於一種電源調節技術,且特別是有關於一種適用於電源轉換器的時間產生器。This creation is about a power conditioning technique, and in particular, a time generator for a power converter.

圖1為習知的電源轉換器的示意圖。圖2為電源轉換器中的波形示意圖。請合併參閱圖1和圖2。現有的電源轉換器100的設計常採用固定的導通時間的架構。比較器110比較誤差信號Xerr與斜波信號Xramp來產生比較信號Xcm。時間控制電路120利用固定導通時間機制並根據比較信號Xcm來設定脈寬調變信號Xpwm,其中導通時間Ton的寬度是與輸入電壓Vin和輸出電壓Vout有關,且導通時間Ton的寬度是固定值。1 is a schematic diagram of a conventional power converter. Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the waveforms in the power converter. Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2. The design of existing power converters 100 often employs a fixed on-time architecture. The comparator 110 compares the error signal Xerr with the ramp signal Xramp to generate a comparison signal Xcm. The time control circuit 120 sets the pulse width modulation signal Xpwm according to the comparison on-time mechanism Xcm using a fixed on-time mechanism, wherein the width of the on-time Ton is related to the input voltage Vin and the output voltage Vout, and the width of the on-time Ton is a fixed value.

在電源轉換器100中,藉由誤差信號Xerr與斜波信號Xramp來決定何時輸出導通時間Ton,其中誤差訊號Xramp的大小與回授信號Vfb和參考電壓Vref兩者有關。並且在輸出導通時間Ton的時刻,時間控制電路120開始計算並生成脈寬調變信號Xpwm,而脈寬調變信號Xpwm中的每一週期的導通時間Ton是固定的。然而,習知的脈寬調變的操作架構雖可達到固定頻率的效 果,但當輸出電壓Vout隨著負載電流Iload變化而改變時,時間控制電路120仍以固定頻率在每一個週期提供相同的能量,於是電源轉換器100在負載瞬間變化(load transient)的期間表現不佳。In the power converter 100, when the output time Ton is outputted by the error signal Xerr and the ramp signal Xramp, the magnitude of the error signal Xramp is related to both the feedback signal Vfb and the reference voltage Vref. And at the timing of outputting the on-time Ton, the time control circuit 120 starts calculating and generating the pulse width modulation signal Xpwm, and the on-time Ton of each period in the pulse width modulation signal Xpwm is fixed. However, the conventional pulse width modulation operation architecture can achieve a fixed frequency effect. However, when the output voltage Vout changes as the load current Iload changes, the time control circuit 120 still supplies the same energy at each cycle at a fixed frequency, so that the power converter 100 performs during the load transient. Not good.

圖3為習知的時間控制電路的電路圖。請參閱圖3。時間控制電路320包括電流源It、電晶體MP1及MP2、開關S1、電容器C1以及比較器322。以電流源It、電晶體MP1及MP2組成電流鏡。電流源It與輸入電壓Vin有關。當脈寬調變信號為邏輯高位準時,則脈寬調變信號的反向信號PWMB為邏輯低位準,因而截止開關S1,並以電流源It相關的電流M*It對電容C1充電,直到充電電壓Xc大於輸出電壓Vout時才結束導通時間Ton的計數。3 is a circuit diagram of a conventional time control circuit. Please refer to Figure 3. The time control circuit 320 includes a current source It, transistors MP1 and MP2, a switch S1, a capacitor C1, and a comparator 322. The current mirror is composed of a current source It, a transistor MP1 and an MP2. The current source It is related to the input voltage Vin. When the pulse width modulation signal is logic high level, the reverse signal PWMB of the pulse width modulation signal is a logic low level, thus turning off the switch S1, and charging the capacitor C1 with the current M*It related to the current source It until charging The counting of the on-time Ton is ended when the voltage Xc is greater than the output voltage Vout.

習知技術對於脈寬調變信號雖可達到固定頻率的效果,但當輸出電壓上有負載瞬間變化時,時間控制電路在計數導通時間時仍在每一個週期輸出相同能量的脈波。如此在負載瞬間變化時,時間控制電路無法快速收斂輸出電壓,因此表現不佳。除此之外,為了達成電源轉換器的固定頻率的操作,時間控制電路需要擷取輸入電壓與輸出電壓的資訊來計算導通時間,並且還需要額外的積體電路的輸入腳位或是用於擷取輸入電壓與輸出電壓的電路。Although the conventional technique can achieve a fixed frequency effect for the pulse width modulation signal, when the load voltage changes instantaneously, the time control circuit outputs the pulse wave of the same energy every cycle while counting the on time. Thus, when the load changes instantaneously, the time control circuit cannot quickly converge the output voltage, and thus performs poorly. In addition, in order to achieve the fixed frequency operation of the power converter, the time control circuit needs to extract the input voltage and the output voltage information to calculate the on-time, and also needs an additional integrated circuit input pin or used for A circuit that draws input voltage and output voltage.

有鑑於此,本創作提出一種用於電源轉換器的時間產生器,藉以解決先前技術所述及的問題。In view of this, the present invention proposes a time generator for a power converter to solve the problems described in the prior art.

Since the pulse width modulation signal provided by the time generator can effectively accelerate the convergence output voltage when the load changes instantaneously, the output voltage can be stabilized and the oscillation time can be shortened, thereby solving the problems described in the prior art.

圖4是根據本創作實施例的電源轉換器的架構示意圖。請參閱圖4。電源轉換器400具有自動定頻回路控制機制,其包括驅動器20、輸出級30、電感器L、電容器C、回授電路40、放大器50、補償電路60、比較器70以及時間產生器10。4 is a block diagram of a power converter in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to Figure 4. The power converter 400 has an automatic frequency fixed loop control mechanism including a driver 20, an output stage 30, an inductor L, a capacitor C, a feedback circuit 40, an amplifier 50, a compensation circuit 60, a comparator 70, and a time generator 10.

放大器50可以為轉導(Transconductance)放大器,在其他實施例中,放大器50可以為誤差放大器。放大器50的第一輸入端接收參考電壓Vref,而放大器520的第二輸入端接收回授信號Vfb。回授信號Vfb為輸出電壓Vout的比例信號。放大器50根據參考電壓Vref與回授信號Vfb提供誤差信號Err。補償電路60用以補償及穩定誤差信號Err。Amplifier 50 can be a transconductance amplifier, and in other embodiments, amplifier 50 can be an error amplifier. A first input of amplifier 50 receives a reference voltage Vref and a second input of amplifier 520 receives a feedback signal Vfb. The feedback signal Vfb is a proportional signal of the output voltage Vout. The amplifier 50 provides an error signal Err based on the reference voltage Vref and the feedback signal Vfb. The compensation circuit 60 is used to compensate and stabilize the error signal Err.

時間產生器10包括邏輯控制單元12、時間調整單元13以及斜波產生單元14。時間產生器10根據誤差信號Err、斜波信號Vramp與臨界電壓VLB決定脈寬調變信號Vpwm的週期中的導通時間Ton,並根據誤差信號Err、斜波信號(如圖5或圖6所繪示的Vton)、臨界電壓VLB與臨界電壓VUB決定週期中的斷開時間Toff。The time generator 10 includes a logic control unit 12, a time adjustment unit 13, and a ramp generation unit 14. The time generator 10 determines the on-time Ton in the period of the pulse width modulation signal Vpwm according to the error signal Err, the ramp signal Vramp and the threshold voltage VLB, and according to the error signal Err and the ramp signal (as shown in FIG. 5 or FIG. 6) The indicated Vton), the threshold voltage VLB and the threshold voltage VUB determine the off time Toff in the period.

邏輯控制單元12耦接時間調整單元13與斜波產生單元14。斜波產生單元14接受邏輯控制單元12的控制,並且用於產生斜波信號Vramp。此外,斜波信號Vramp又可稱為類斜波信號、三角波信號或鋸齒波信號,其可以為重複-下降形式的斜波或是重複-上升形式的斜波,端視應用而決定。The logic control unit 12 is coupled to the time adjustment unit 13 and the ramp wave generating unit 14. The ramp wave generating unit 14 is controlled by the logic control unit 12 and is used to generate the ramp signal Vramp. In addition, the ramp signal Vramp may also be referred to as a ramp-like signal, a triangular wave signal or a sawtooth wave signal, which may be a ramp-wave in a repeat-descent form or a ramp-wave in a repeat-rise form, depending on the application.

比較器70的第一輸入端接收誤差信號Err,而比較器70的第二輸入端接收斜波信號Vramp。誤差信號Err與電源轉換器400的輸出電壓Vout有關聯。比較器70比較斜波信號Vramp與誤差信號Err,並產生比較信號CM,且輸出比較信號CM至邏輯控制單元12。The first input of comparator 70 receives error signal Err and the second input of comparator 70 receives ramp signal Vramp. The error signal Err is associated with the output voltage Vout of the power converter 400. The comparator 70 compares the ramp signal Vramp with the error signal Err and generates a comparison signal CM, and outputs a comparison signal CM to the logic control unit 12.

比較信號CM的產生與誤差信號Err有關。邏輯控制單元12經由比較器70接收比較信號CM,因此可根據比較信號CM決 定是否重置斜波信號Vramp而發出控制信號X3或X4。The generation of the comparison signal CM is related to the error signal Err. The logic control unit 12 receives the comparison signal CM via the comparator 70, and thus can be determined according to the comparison signal CM Whether to reset the ramp signal Vramp and issue a control signal X3 or X4.

時間調整單元13接收控制信號X3及誤差信號Err,根據控制信號X3產生斜波信號(如圖5或圖6所繪示的Vton),並且根據上述斜波信號與臨界電壓VLB輸出控制信號X1至邏輯控制單元12。The time adjustment unit 13 receives the control signal X3 and the error signal Err, generates a ramp signal according to the control signal X3 (such as Vton as shown in FIG. 5 or FIG. 6), and outputs the control signal X1 according to the ramp signal and the threshold voltage VLB. Logic control unit 12.

斜波產生單元14接收控制信號X4、誤差信號Err及臨界電壓VUB,根據控制信號X4產生斜波信號Vramp,並且根據斜波信號Vramp與誤差信號Err輸出控制信號X2至邏輯控制單元12。此外,臨界電壓VUB大於臨界電壓VLB。The ramp wave generating unit 14 receives the control signal X4, the error signal Err, and the threshold voltage VUB, generates the ramp signal Vramp according to the control signal X4, and outputs the control signal X2 to the logic control unit 12 according to the ramp signal Vramp and the error signal Err. Further, the threshold voltage VUB is greater than the threshold voltage VLB.

邏輯控制單元12根據所獲得的導通時間Ton與斷開時間Toff來提供脈寬調變信號Vpwm。請參見圖5。邏輯控制單元12所輸出的脈寬調變信號Vpwm在每一個週期中的導通時間Ton與斷開時間Toff的總和為固定值,因此將提供固定頻率的脈寬調變信號Vpwm。The logic control unit 12 supplies the pulse width modulation signal Vpwm in accordance with the obtained on-time Ton and off-time Toff. See Figure 5. The sum of the on-time Ton and the off-time Toff of the pulse width modulation signal Vpwm outputted by the logic control unit 12 in each period is a fixed value, and thus a pulse width modulation signal Vpwm of a fixed frequency will be supplied.

驅動器20根據脈寬調變信號Vpwm來驅動輸出級30,據以控制輸出級30內的上橋開關(high side switch)31和下橋開關(low side switch)32。輸出級30用以對輸入電壓Vin進行直流對直流的轉換,從而電源轉換器400可以產生輸出電壓Vout,並將其輸出至負載。此外,當負載瞬間發生變化,輸出電壓Vout將隨負載電流Iload而變動。The driver 20 drives the output stage 30 based on the pulse width modulation signal Vpwm to thereby control the high side switch 31 and the low side switch 32 in the output stage 30. The output stage 30 is used for DC-to-DC conversion of the input voltage Vin, so that the power converter 400 can generate the output voltage Vout and output it to the load. In addition, when the load changes instantaneously, the output voltage Vout will vary with the load current Iload.

圖5是根據本創作實施例的時間產生器相關信號的示意圖。請合併參閱圖4和圖5。時間產生器10所使用的臨界電壓VLB、臨界電壓VUB與誤差信號Err的關係如下:誤差信號Err為變動的信號,臨界電壓VUB大於誤差信號Err,且誤差信號Err 大於臨界電壓VLB。臨界電壓VUB與臨界電壓VLB用來決定回路切換頻率的計算視窗。臨界電壓VUB與臨界電壓VLB的差值為固定值。Figure 5 is a schematic illustration of a time generator related signal in accordance with an inventive embodiment. Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 together. The relationship between the threshold voltage VLB, the threshold voltage VUB, and the error signal Err used by the time generator 10 is as follows: the error signal Err is a fluctuating signal, the threshold voltage VUB is greater than the error signal Err, and the error signal Err Greater than the threshold voltage VLB. The threshold voltage VUB and the threshold voltage VLB are used to determine a calculation window of the loop switching frequency. The difference between the threshold voltage VUB and the threshold voltage VLB is a fixed value.

斜波產生單元14所產生的斜波信號Vramp與時間調整單元13所產生的斜波信號Vton具有相同的下降斜率絕對值。斜波信號Vramp、斜波信號Vton以及計算視窗的上界(VUB)和下界(VLB)決定回路切換頻率。根據誤差信號Err到臨界電壓VLB以及斜波信號Vton的下降斜率SLP1計算導通時間Ton。根據臨界電壓VUB到誤差信號Err以及斜波信號Vramp的下降斜率SLP2計算斷開時間Toff。The ramp wave signal Vramp generated by the ramp wave generating unit 14 has the same falling slope absolute value as the ramp wave signal Vton generated by the time adjusting unit 13. The ramp signal Vramp, the ramp signal Vton, and the upper bound (VUB) and lower bound (VLB) of the calculation window determine the loop switching frequency. The on-time Ton is calculated from the error signal Err to the threshold voltage VLB and the falling slope SLP1 of the ramp signal Vton. The off time Toff is calculated from the threshold voltage VUB to the error signal Err and the falling slope SLP2 of the ramp signal Vramp.

當計算導通時間Ton時,斜波信號Vramp箝制在臨界電壓VUB的位準;當計算斷開時間Toff時,斜波信號Vton箝制在誤差信號Err的位準。When the on-time Ton is calculated, the ramp signal Vramp is clamped to the level of the threshold voltage VUB; when the off-time Toff is calculated, the ramp signal Vton is clamped to the level of the error signal Err.

斜波信號Vton的下降斜率SLP1可表示成如下的方程式1。The falling slope SLP1 of the ramp signal Vton can be expressed as Equation 1 below.

關於方程式1中的Iton與Cton分別表示電流源的電流值與電容器的電容值,將於後文(圖6實施例)的時間調整單元13中做詳細描述。The Iton and Cton in Equation 1 respectively represent the current value of the current source and the capacitance value of the capacitor, which will be described in detail later in the time adjustment unit 13 of the embodiment (Fig. 6 embodiment).

斜波信號Vramp的下降斜率SLP2可表示成如下的方程式2。The falling slope SLP2 of the ramp signal Vramp can be expressed as Equation 2 below.

關於方程式2中的Iramp與Cramp分別表示電流源的電流值與電容器的電容值,將於後文(圖7實施例)的斜波產生單元14中做詳細描述。The Iramp and Cramp in Equation 2 respectively indicate the current value of the current source and the capacitance value of the capacitor, which will be described in detail later in the ramp generating unit 14 of the embodiment (Fig. 7 embodiment).

由於下降斜率SLP1等於下降斜率SLP1,因此可表示為如下的方程式3:SLP1=SLP2 (方程式3)。Since the falling slope SLP1 is equal to the falling slope SLP1, it can be expressed as Equation 3: SLP1 = SLP2 (Equation 3).

此外,臨界電壓VUB、VLB與一個週期的時間T的關係可表示成如下的方程式4。Further, the relationship between the threshold voltages VUB, VLB and the time T of one cycle can be expressed as Equation 4 below.

將方程式4推導以獲得時間T,可表示成如下的方程式5。Deriving Equation 4 to obtain time T can be expressed as Equation 5 below.

時間T的倒數為切換頻率FSW,可表示成如下的方程式6。The reciprocal of the time T is the switching frequency FSW, which can be expressed as Equation 6 below.

類似方程式5,可以計算導通時間Ton及斷開時間Toff,可表示成如下的方程式7及8。Similar to Equation 5, the on-time Ton and off-time Toff can be calculated and can be expressed as Equations 7 and 8 below.

根據方程式7及臨界電壓VUB、VLB可計算出任務週期 百分比Duty,並可表示成如下的方程式9。Calculate the task period according to Equation 7 and the threshold voltages VUB, VLB The percentage Duty can be expressed as Equation 9 below.

邏輯控制單元12可因應負載瞬間變化而改變導通時間Ton的寬度,並且不同週期中的導通時間Ton與斷開時間Toff的總和(時間T)維持固定值。因此,本創作不管是輕載轉重載的情況,或是重載轉輕載的情況,可因應不同的週期而提供經調整過的能量來加速收斂輸出電壓,並且脈寬調變信號Vpwm在每一個週期中的導通時間Ton與斷開時間Toff的總和維持在固定值。因此,時間產生器10可以自動地產生固定頻率的脈寬調變信號Vpwm。此外,時間產生器10在決定導通時間Ton的寬度時不需擷取輸入電壓Vin的資訊。The logic control unit 12 can change the width of the on-time Ton in response to the instantaneous change of the load, and the sum (time T) of the on-time Ton and the off-time Toff in the different periods maintains a fixed value. Therefore, this creation can provide accelerated energy to accelerate the convergence output voltage regardless of the case of light load to heavy load or heavy load to light load, and the pulse width modulation signal Vpwm The sum of the on-time Ton and the off-time Toff in each cycle is maintained at a fixed value. Therefore, the time generator 10 can automatically generate the pulse width modulation signal Vpwm of a fixed frequency. Further, the time generator 10 does not need to extract the information of the input voltage Vin when determining the width of the on-time Ton.
