Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of electronic circuits, and in particular relates to a switch control circuit and method, and a switch power supply system. Background Art
[0002] Figure 1 The figure is a schematic diagram of a low-level buck circuit topology. The low-level buck circuit includes a low-level switch Q. By controlling the on and off of the switch Q, the current flowing through the load LED is controlled to drive the LED. When the switch Q is turned on, the power supply, LED, inductor L and switch Q form a current path, and the current rises. When the switch Q is turned off, the LED, inductor L and diode D form a current path, and the current drops. Generally, the demagnetization detection circuit 10 detects the signal that the current of the inductor L drops to zero value, and obtains the ZCD (zero current detection) signal. When the ZCD signal comes, the switch Q is turned on. When the current flowing through the switch Q meets the conditions, that is, when the detection signal FB meets the predetermined conditions, the switch Q is turned off. This control method can be called critical current mode (BCM), or quasi-resonant control; similar control methods also exist in some other switch circuit topologies (such as isolated flyback power supply topology).
[0003] Figure 2 This is a control waveform diagram of a low-bit buck circuit; Figure 2 The waveform diagram corresponds to the above control method, and the waveforms correspond to the inductor current IL, the control signal gate of the switch Q, and the ZCD signal. However, sometimes due to the false triggering of the ZCD signal, it may cause the switch Q to turn on within a short time after it is turned off, so that it is turned on before the inductor current IL reaches zero value, instead of turning on when the inductor current IL becomes zero value (see Figure 2 The system enters continuous current mode (CCM) and the output is out of control.
[0004] Therefore, measures need to be taken to prevent such premature conduction. One control method is to set a blanking time of a fixed length (such as Figure 3 During this time, the switch will not be turned on by mistake. However, when there is interference in the system, especially for the isolated flyback power supply topology, or when there is mutual interference between multiple power supplies in parallel, or when the input voltage changes greatly, setting a fixed blanking time often does not play a good role in many cases (for example, when the frequency is too low).
[0005] It can be seen that the existing switch control circuit is not adaptable and cannot be applied to a variety of different occasions. For example, in the case of different input and output voltages, or in some occasions with interference, if the inductor current decline phase is long, the blanking time may be too short, and it is impossible to avoid entering the CCM mode when the current is large, causing the output to lose control. For occasions with a short inductor current decline phase, a short blanking time will prolong the triggering of the switch conduction point, causing the system performance to deteriorate.
[0006] In addition, the existing switch control circuit also has similar problems in situations where the system working environment is complex (such as when the system EMC interference is strong or multiple power supplies are connected in parallel). In many cases (such as when the frequency is too low), the blanking time set by a fixed time often fails to work at an early stage after shutdown, causing the circuit to enter the CCM mode at an early stage and lose output control.
[0007] In view of this, there is an urgent need to design a switch control method to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the existing control method. Summary of the invention

[0057] The on-time control circuit 11 is used to generate a first control signal for controlling the switch to be turned on; the off-time control circuit 13 is used to generate a second control signal for controlling the switch to be turned off. The input end of the logic circuit 15 is connected to the output end of the on-time control circuit 11 and the off-time control circuit 13 respectively, and is used to generate a switch control signal gate according to the output signals of the on-time control circuit 11 and the off-time control circuit 13, and output it to the switch to control the switch to be turned on and off. The logic circuit 15 can only output the switch control signal gate for controlling the switch to be turned on after the off-time duration of the current switch reaches a predetermined proportion of the off-time duration of the previous cycle.
[0058] In one embodiment of the present invention, the switch control circuit further includes a third control signal generating circuit; the input end of the third control signal generating circuit receives the switch control signal gate to obtain the switch off duration of the previous cycle. The output end of the third control signal generating circuit is connected to the logic circuit 15, and outputs a third control signal to the logic circuit 15 to control the state of the switch control signal gate output by the logic circuit.

[0063] In another embodiment of the present invention, the on-time control circuit 11 includes a comparison circuit. When the output current feedback signal FB touches a threshold voltage, the trigger included in the logic circuit is set and the switch is turned off.
[0064] Please continue reading Figure 7In one embodiment of the present invention, the third control signal generating circuit is used as a part of the off-time control circuit 13 (the third control signal generating circuit can be a frequency locking circuit 133); the off-time control circuit 13 includes a second logic circuit 131, a frequency locking circuit 133 and an AND gate 135. The input end of the second logic circuit 131 is connected to the output end of the demagnetization detection circuit 137, generates a zero current detection signal ZCD based on the signal output by the demagnetization detection circuit 137, and outputs the zero current detection signal ZCD to the input end of the AND gate 135. The entire demagnetization detection circuit 137 or a part of the demagnetization detection circuit 137 can be located in the switch control circuit (the entire demagnetization detection circuit 137 or a part of the demagnetization detection circuit 137 can be used as a part of the switch control circuit); or, the demagnetization detection circuit can also be located outside the switch control circuit (the entire demagnetization detection circuit 137 can also be set independently without being a part of the switch control circuit). In one embodiment of the present invention, the demagnetization detection signal output by the demagnetization detection circuit 137 outputs a high level when the inductor current is zero and a low level when the inductor current is not zero. The logic circuit detects the rising edge of the demagnetization detection signal to generate a ZCD pulse signal. The input end of the frequency locking circuit 133 is connected to the switch control signal gate, and the output end of the frequency locking circuit 133 is connected to the input end of the AND gate 135; the output end of the AND gate 135 is connected to the logic circuit 15.
[0065] In one embodiment of the present invention, the logic circuit 15 includes a trigger 151; the output signal of the on-time modulation circuit 115 is input to the reset terminal R of the trigger 151, and the output signal of the off-time control circuit 13 is input to the set terminal S of the trigger 151. The trigger 151 is used to generate a switch control signal (PWM or gate).
[0066] In one embodiment of the present invention, the frequency locking circuit is used to output a frequency locking signal A; the switch control signal gate can only be increased when the frequency locking signal A is in a valid value state, and is switched to a switch-on state.
[0067] In one embodiment of the present invention, the frequency locking circuit controls the frequency locking signal A to be in a valid value state after satisfying the current switch off time T1≥K*T0; wherein K is a set constant (for example, a value between 80% and 95%, or other values), and T0 is the switch off time of the previous cycle.
[0068] In one embodiment of the present invention, when the frequency lock signal A is in a high level state, if a high level pulse appears in the zero current detection signal ZCD, the AND gate 135 outputs a high level pulse, the trigger 151 is set, and the logic circuit controls the switch control signal gate from low to high to turn on the switch, and the inductor current IL starts to rise; when the switch control signal gate changes from low to high, the frequency lock circuit controls the frequency lock signal A to become a low level.
[0069] Fig. 9 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of control waveforms of a switch control circuit according to an embodiment of the present invention; please refer to FIG. Fig. 9 In one embodiment of the present invention, the effective value of the frequency locking signal A appears in the second half of the switch control signal gate off period T0, T1, and T2. The switch control signal gate can only rise when the frequency locking signal A is in the effective value state and switch to the switch on state. The starting time t1 of the effective value of the frequency locking signal A is related to the time length of the previous cycle T0 of gate. Timing starts from the beginning of the T1 cycle, t1=K*T0, where K is a constant, for example, K can be selected as a value between 80% and 95%. The frequency locking signal A is the opposite signal of the switch control signal gate, and the "AND" signal of the signal generated by multiplying the off time length of the previous cycle by the ratio K.
[0070] When the frequency lock signal A is in the high level state, the zero current detection signal ZCD has a high level pulse, and the switch control signal gate changes from low to high, which is used to turn on the switch, and the inductor current IL starts to rise. When the switch control signal gate changes from low to high, the frequency lock signal A changes to a low level.
[0071] Due to the high switching frequency, the start time t1 of the frequency-locking signal can be adaptively adjusted in a very short time, effectively avoiding the switch tube Q from being turned on due to false triggering at an early stage, and effectively avoiding the switch from entering the CCM mode at an early stage when the inductor current drops, thereby making the output stable.
