Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of flyback power supplies, and in particular to a flyback power supply circuit based on a planar transformer. Background Art

[0002] A flyback power supply consists of an input power supply, input capacitors, a control chip, a primary MOSFET, a flyback transformer (a traditional wire-wound flyback transformer or a planar transformer), diodes (an auxiliary power supply diode and an output rectifier diode), and an output capacitor. The flyback transformer includes a primary winding (Np), an auxiliary winding (Na), and a secondary winding (Ns).

[0003] The flyback power supply operates as follows: the input power supplies the primary winding, which is then controlled by the control chip to switch on and off the primary MOSFET. When the primary MOSFET is on, the auxiliary winding Na and the secondary winding Ns are blocked from current due to the presence of the diodes, resulting in energy stored in the primary winding Np. When the primary MOSFET is off, this energy flows through the auxiliary and secondary windings to produce the output voltage. The control chip dynamically adjusts the required secondary voltage using the Vfb voltage generated by the auxiliary winding Na to ensure that the voltage meets the design value.

[0004] As the instruction manual Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the current mainstream solution uses two traditional wire-wound flyback transformers to form two flyback power supplies. Flyback transformer T2 outputs three drive power supplies, Vgd1, Vgd2, and Vgd3, which respectively drive the upper three bridges of the full-bridge drive circuit. Flyback transformer T3 outputs three drive power supplies, Vgd4, Vgd5, and Vgd6, which respectively drive the lower three bridges of the full-bridge drive circuit. Driver power supply Vgd6 is connected to an LDO (low-dropout regulator) to generate the high-voltage sampling auxiliary power supply, Vsens1.

[0005] However, it still has the following disadvantages: 1. Due to the use of two flyback transformers, two sets of peripheral control circuits are required, which is more expensive.

[0006] 2. Because traditional wire-wound flyback transformers are wound on a bobbin, a balance needs to be struck between transformer volume and the number of windings. It is impossible to achieve the characteristics of a large number of windings and a small volume at the same time.

[0007] 3. Due to its structural characteristics, the traditional wound flyback transformer cannot be very low in height, resulting in the inability to further miniaturize the structural size.

[0008] 4. The traditional wound flyback transformer has the problem of difficult control of the winding and frame welding process in production control, which cannot fully realize automated production, increases process costs, and has a high overall price.

[0009] Based on this, the present invention designs a flyback power supply circuit based on a planar transformer to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0012] Furthermore, the planar transformer T1 has seven sets of secondary windings, namely transformer secondary winding Ns1, transformer secondary winding Ns2, transformer secondary winding Ns3, transformer secondary winding Ns4, transformer secondary winding Ns5, transformer secondary winding Ns6 and transformer secondary winding Ns7.

[0013] Furthermore, one end of the secondary winding Ns1 of the transformer is connected to the anode of the output power diode D1, and the other end is grounded; the cathode of the output power diode D1 is connected to the positive electrode of the output power capacitor C1, and the negative electrode of the output power capacitor C1 is grounded, outputting the flyback power supply output voltage Vgd1.

[0016] Furthermore, one end of the secondary winding Ns4 of the transformer is connected to the anode of the output power diode D4, and the other end is grounded; the cathode of the output power diode D4 is connected to the positive electrode of the output power capacitor C4, and the negative electrode of the output power capacitor C4 is grounded, outputting the flyback power supply output voltage Vgd4.

[0018] Furthermore, one end of the secondary winding Ns6 of the transformer is connected to the anode of the output power diode D6, and the other end is grounded; the cathode of the output power diode D6 is connected to the positive electrode of the output power capacitor C6, and the negative electrode of the output power capacitor C6 is grounded, outputting the flyback power supply output voltage Vgd6.

[0019] Furthermore, one end of the secondary winding Ns7 of the transformer is connected to the anode of the output power diode D7, and the other end is grounded; the cathode of the output power diode D7 is connected to the positive electrode of the output power capacitor C7, and the negative electrode of the output power capacitor C7 is grounded, outputting the flyback power supply output voltage Vsens1.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: the present invention adopts a planar transformer core plus a PCB winding to form a flyback transformer to replace the traditional wound flyback transformer. Since the planar transformer core is assembled on the PCB, there is no winding welding process and the reliability is high.

[0021] The height of the planar transformer core of the present invention is controllable, which can reduce the overall height and volume of components in the driver power circuit, thereby improving power volume density. Furthermore, the planar transformer core can be produced using an automated molding process, which reduces costs and improves quality control.

[0022] The present invention integrates two independent flyback power supplies into one flyback power supply, thereby reducing the number of peripheral control circuit components used and effectively reducing costs. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
