A method and circuit for adaptive control of active clamp flyback converter

Abstract

The invention provides an active clamp flyback converter self-adaptive control method and circuit, which are used for controlling a conduction time of a clamper tube. The active clamp flyback converter self-adaptive control method and circuit have the following characteristics and effects: a multiplexing auxiliary winding voltage sampling pin determines whether a main switch pipe ZVS is switched on or not, and no additional pin is needed, so that the encapsulation size is reduced; a switch node voltage proportional value in the conduction period of the main switch pipe is saved, and the conduction realization situation of ZVS is determined cycle by cycle on a rising edge of a main switch pipe driving signal, so that the self adaption can be actually realized; since the saved switch node voltage proportional value is gradually updated cycle by cycle, the determination result of the conduction realization situation of the main switch pipe ZVS is not influenced by the device precision, and the determination result is more accurate; and by virtue of the bidirectional control for the width of the clamper pipe driving signal, on the premise of realizing the conduction of the main switchpipe ZVS, the negative current flowing by a diode of the main switch pipe body can be reduced as far as possible, and the loss can be reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method and a circuit for adaptive control of a clamp tube, in particular to a method and a circuit for adaptive control of a clamp tube in an active clamp flyback converter. Background technique [0002] Flyback converters are widely used in small and medium power off-line switching power supplies due to their low cost and simple topology. In the actual working process, the energy of the primary side of the flyback converter cannot be completely transferred to the secondary side, and the energy left on the primary side is resonated at the switching node, that is, the drain end of the main switching tube, through the leakage inductance and the parasitic capacitance of the switching node. Very high voltage spikes. In order to reduce the voltage stress of the switch tube, a snubber circuit is needed. Conventional snubber circuits include RCD clamping circuits, LCD clamping circuits and active clamping circuits. Among them, the...

Problems solved by technology

Inside the chip, there is a deviation in the capacitance of the integrated capacitor, and the comparison threshold is fixed, so the consistency of the circuit is not good

In addition, the current source current described in this patent changes with the switch node voltage, and the capacitor voltage in the discharge process is compared with the comparison threshold to determine when the clamp tube is turned off, so it is not self-adaptive, and there is no real judgment on the power of the main switch tube. Whether the voltage of the switch node is pulled down to the ground potential before it is turned on, and then determines the conduction time of the clamp tube in the next cycle
