The invention discloses a
control circuit and a control method of a power switch tube, and a
switching power supply, and belongs to the technical field of
switching power supplies. The
control circuit of the power switch tube comprises a first P-type MOS tube, the source
electrode of which is connected with a
power supply voltage node and the drain
electrode of which is connected with the driving end of the power switch tube; the drain
electrode of the first N-type MOS tube is connected with a
power supply voltage node, and the source electrode of the first N-type MOS tube is connected with the driving end of the power switch tube; the
driving circuit is connected with the grid electrode of the first P-type MOS tube and the grid electrode of the first N-type MOS tube, drives the first P-type MOS tube to be conducted when the
control signal of the power switch tube is a conduction
signal and the
power supply voltage of the power supply
voltage node is smaller than the reference
voltage, and drives the first N-type MOS tube to be conducted when the
control signal of the power switch tube is a conduction
signal and the power supply
voltage is larger than or equal to the reference voltage. And the first N-type MOS tube is driven to be conducted, so that the voltage loss caused by the threshold loss of the power tube is reduced, and the driving capability of the
driving circuit when the power supply voltage is relatively low is improved.
