The invention discloses an improved hiiccup mode short-
circuit protection circuit for a BOOT converter, and relates to the technical field of
switching power supplies, and the improved hiiccup mode short-
circuit protection circuit is composed of a POWERSEL (power supply selection) module, a one-shot (single state) circuit, a PRECHARGE (pre-charging) module, a 1: 16 divider (sixteen
frequency divider), a comp (
comparator), a
capacitor C1 and a
discharge tube M1. According to the improved hiiccup mode short-
circuit protection circuit for the BOOT converter, the pre-charging module is adopted to charge the load
capacitor during each detection, the inductive current is limited, if a
short circuit is removed, the load
capacitor can be smoothly charged, and if the
short circuit is not removed, next detection is waited, so that the problem of large current during detection is solved, overboot during restarting is eliminated, and the detection efficiency is improved. In the short-circuit period, a
sleep mode and a detection mode are introduced, the short-circuit state is intermittently tested, at the moment, the converter works in a low-frequency
clock, most modules are closed, only a few devices work, and therefore
power consumption in the short-circuit period can be greatly reduced.
