Problems solved by technology

There is a serious problem with DC-DC converters: when the load current is small, the efficiency of the converter decreases significantly
Although this method can realize the automatic control of the light load and heavy load mode of the current mode control converter, there is a serious problem with this method: the error signal represents the peak current of the inductor, not the average current of the load
This will cause the load current corresponding to the mode switching to change with the change of input and output voltage, inductance and switching frequency
Furthermore, this approach can only be applied to current-mode controlled converters

Abstract

The invention discloses a mode automatic converting circuit for a DC-DC (Direct Current to Direct Current) converter, which is mainly used for solving the problem that current mode converting circuit converts corresponding load current along with change of external condition so that the mode converting circuit can be only applied to a current mode control converter. The mode converting circuit comprises a power level circuit, a feedback network, a feedback control circuit, an average current sampling circuit, a hysteresis comparator and a logic control and drive circuit. The power level circuit respectively provides a voltage signal VOUT and a switch signal SW2 to the average current sampling circuit, the logic control and drive circuit respectively provides an enabling signal VE and a voltage drive signal VD to the average current sampling circuit, the average current sampling circuit outputs an average voltage signal VA, the feedback network provides a voltage feedback signal VFB to the feedback control circuit, and the hysteresis comparator provides a work mode signal V6 to the logic control and drive circuit. With the adoption of the average current sampling circuit provided by the invention, the load current is unchanged and the control manner of the converter is increased, so that the mode automatic converting circuit for the DC-DC converter can be applied to simulating an integrated circuit.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of electronic circuits, in particular to a DC-DC converter mode automatic switching circuit, which can be used for analog integrated circuits. Background technique [0002] In the field of power management, DC-DC converters provide a stable output voltage through switch control. A synchronous DC-DC converter contains at least two switching elements, and a control circuit senses the output voltage and generates a feedback signal to adjust the duty cycle of the switching elements. There is a serious problem with DC-DC converters: when the load current is small, the efficiency of the converter will drop significantly. The loss of the converter mainly includes conduction loss, switching loss and static loss, among which the static loss and switching loss basically do not change with the load. At heavy load, the main loss of the converter is conduction loss; at light load, the conduction loss decreases, and sta...
