[0003] When a flyback switching power supply system is used in applications with high output current, traditional secondary rectifier diodes introduce significant conduction and reverse recovery losses, resulting in low power system efficiency. To reduce the losses caused by the rectifier diodes, existing technologies employ MOSFETs with extremely low on-resistance as rectifiers, effectively improving power system efficiency.

The control circuit comprises a turn-on comparison circuit 101, a turn-off comparison circuit 102, and a drive control circuit 103. The control circuit also includes a sampling circuit, which typically uses a MOS transistor N2 as the sampling MOS transistor. The sampling MOS transistor N2 detects the portion of the source-drain difference of the switching MOS transistor N1 that is lower than the voltage VCC, thereby obtaining a sampled voltage VDET.

The off-comparison circuit 102 generates an off-signal SR_OFF based on the sampled voltage VDET and outputs it to the drive control circuit 103. The drive control circuit 103 generates a drive signal GATE based on the on-signal SR_ON and the off-signal SR_OFF and outputs it to the gate of the switch MOS transistor N1 to control the on / off state of the switch MOS transistor N1.

The anti-incorrect-start circuit 204 may also include a fourth-level subcircuit or more subcircuits. The circuit structures of the fourth-level subcircuit or more subcircuits may refer to the second-level subcircuit or third-level subcircuit described above.

[0085] In the embodiments of the present invention, unless otherwise specified, the first input terminal of a comparator is the positive input terminal of the comparator, and the second input terminal of a comparator is the negative input terminal of the comparator. For example, the first input terminal of the first comparator Comp1 is the "+" terminal of the first comparator Comp1, and the second input terminal of the first comparator Comp1 is the "-" terminal of the first comparator Comp1.

[0086] The following combination Figure 4 , the working principle of the anti-misoperational start circuit 204 provided in the above embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0087] The first input of the first comparator Comp1 receives the sampling voltage VDET, and the second input of the first comparator Comp1 is gated to ground or the first reference voltage Vref1. When the sampling voltage VDET is greater than the first reference voltage Vref1, the gate of the first NMOS transistor MN1 is at a low level. At this point, the second input of the first comparator Comp1 is gated to ground, and the first current source I1 charges the first capacitor C1. When the voltage at the first terminal of the first capacitor C1 reaches the second reference voltage Vref2, the output of the fourth comparator Comp4 outputs a low level, and the first D-type flip-flop D1 outputs a high level. At this point, the enable signal is at a high level.

[0088] During the charging process of the first capacitor C1, if the sampling voltage VDET is less than 0, the gate of the first NMOS transistor MN1 is at a high potential, and the charge accumulated on the first capacitor C1 is cleared. The charge needs to be accumulated again, that is, the first current source I1 is used to charge the first capacitor C1 again.

[0089] The first input terminal of the second comparator Comp2 receives a resistor-divided voltage n3*SW, where SW is the output voltage of the first output terminal of the transformer. The second input terminal of the second comparator Comp2 receives a resistor-divided voltage n1*Vout, where Vout is the output voltage of the second output terminal of the transformer. When n3*SW>n1*Vout, the gate of the second NMOS transistor MN2 is at a low potential, and the second current source I2 charges the second capacitor C2. When the voltage at the first terminal of the second capacitor C2 reaches the third reference voltage Vref3, the third D-type flip-flop D3 outputs a high level, and the enable signal is now at a high level.

[0090] During the charging process of the second capacitor C2, if n3*SW<n1*Vout, the gate of the second NMOS transistor MN2 is at a high potential, the charge accumulated on the second capacitor C2 is cleared, and charge accumulation needs to be performed again, that is, the second current source I2 is used to charge the second capacitor C2 again.

[0091] The first input terminal of the third comparator Comp3 receives the resistor-divided voltage n3*SW, and the second input terminal of the third comparator Comp3 receives the resistor-divided voltage n2*Vout. When n3*SW>n2*Vout, the gate of the third NMOS transistor MN3 is at a low potential, and the third current source I3 charges the third capacitor C3. When the voltage at the first terminal of the third capacitor C3 reaches the fourth reference voltage Vref4, the fourth D-type flip-flop D4 outputs a high level, and the enable signal is now at a high level.

[0092] During the charging process of the third capacitor C3, if n3*SW<n2*Vout, the gate of the third NMOS transistor MN3 is at a high potential, and the charge accumulated on the third capacitor C3 is cleared. Charge accumulation needs to be performed again, that is, the third current source I3 is used to charge the third capacitor C3 again.

[0093] Depend on Figure 4 It can be seen that when any one of the first D flip-flop D1 , the second D flip-flop D2 and the third D flip-flop D3 is at a high level, the OR gate circuit outputs a high level, thereby generating a turn-on enable signal.

[0094] Reference Figure 5 , a working waveform diagram of an anti-misoperational start-up circuit in an embodiment of the present invention is given.

[0095] Figure 5At time t0, SW> the first reference voltage Vref1, and the minimum off-time toffmin1 begins to be measured. At time t1, the sampled voltage VDET> the first reference voltage Vref1 for a certain period of time, and the output terminal of the fourth comparator Comp4 outputs a high level MOS_EN_ON1. At time t2, SW> (n1 / n3)*Vout, and the minimum off-time toffmin2 begins to be measured. At time t3, SW> (n2 / n3)*Vout, and the minimum off-time toffmin3 begins to be measured. At time t4, SW> (n2 / n3)*Vout for a certain period of time, and the output terminal of the sixth comparator Comp6 outputs a high level MOS_EN_ON3. At time t5, SW> (n1 / n3)*Vout for a certain period of time, and the output terminal of the fifth comparator Comp5 outputs a high level MOS_EN_ON2. At time t6, since any of MOS_EN_ON1, MOS_EN_ON2, and MOS_EN_ON3 are high, the anti-false start circuit 204 generates a start enable signal.

[0096] In a specific implementation, the synchronous rectification control circuit 200 may further include a light-load detection circuit.

[0097] In an embodiment of the present invention, the input terminal of the light load detection circuit can be coupled to the second terminal of the sampling circuit, and the first output terminal of the light load detection circuit can be coupled to the third input terminal of the start-up comparison circuit 201, the fourth input terminal of the anti-false start-up circuit 204, and the second input terminal of the shutdown comparison circuit 202. The light load detection circuit can obtain the switching frequency of the sampled voltage VDET and determine whether to generate a light load signal based on the switching frequency of the sampled voltage VDET. When the light load detection circuit outputs a light load signal, the start-up comparison circuit 201, the anti-false start-up circuit 204, and the shutdown comparison circuit 202 enter a dormant state after receiving the light load signal, thereby reducing the power consumption of the synchronous rectification control circuit 200.

[0098] Reference Figure 6 , a structural diagram of another synchronous rectification control circuit 200 in an embodiment of the present invention is given. Figure 2 compared to, Figure 6 The synchronous rectification control circuit 200 further includes a light load detection circuit 205. Figure 6 Provide explanation.

[0099] In a specific implementation, the light load detection circuit 205 may include a pre-pulse signal generating circuit, a pulse signal generating circuit, and a light load signal generating circuit, wherein:

[0100] The pre-pulse signal generating circuit inputs a sampling voltage VDET at its input terminal, and its output terminal is coupled to the control terminal of the pulse signal generating circuit. The pre-pulse signal generating circuit is adapted to generate and output a pre-pulse signal when it is detected that the sampling voltage VDET remains at a high level for a first predetermined time period.

[0101] The input terminal of the pulse signal generating circuit inputs the pre-pulse signal, and the output terminal is coupled to the first input terminal of the light-load signal generating circuit, and is suitable for generating a pulse signal according to the pre-pulse signal and outputting the pulse signal to the first input terminal of the light-load signal generating circuit;

[0102] The output end of the light-load signal generating circuit is coupled to the output end of the light-load detecting circuit, and is adapted to generate and output a light-load signal when it is detected that the number of continuously received pulse signals reaches a second preset value.

[0103] Reference Figure 7 , a structural schematic diagram of a light load detection circuit in an embodiment of the present invention is given.

[0104] In an embodiment of the present invention, the pre-pulse signal generating circuit may include a first Schmitt trigger, a fourth current source I4, a fourth NMOS transistor MN4, a fifth NMOS transistor MN5, a fourth capacitor C4, a seventh comparator Comp7, and a first counter, wherein:

[0105] The input terminal of the first Schmitt trigger is input with the sampling voltage VDET, and the output terminal of the first Schmitt trigger is coupled with the gate of the fourth NMOS transistor MN4 and the control terminal of the first counter;

[0106] The drain of the fourth NMOS transistor MN4 is coupled to the second terminal of the fourth current source I4 and the second input terminal of the seventh comparator Comp7. The source of the fourth NMOS transistor MN4 is grounded. The second terminal of the fourth current source I4 is connected to a preset power supply voltage.

[0107] A drain of the fifth NMOS transistor MN5 is coupled to the second input terminal of the seventh comparator Comp7, a gate of the fifth NMOS transistor MN5 is coupled to the output terminal of the seventh comparator Comp7, and a source of the fifth NMOS transistor MN5 is grounded;

[0108] A first terminal of the fourth capacitor C4 is coupled to the second input terminal of the seventh comparator Comp7, and a second terminal of the fourth capacitor C4 is grounded;

[0109] A first input terminal of the seventh comparator Comp7 is input with the fifth reference voltage Vref5, and an output terminal of the seventh comparator Comp7 is coupled to the gate of the fifth NMOS transistor MN5 and the input terminal of the first counter;

[0110] The control end of the first counter is coupled to the output end of the first Schmitt trigger, and the output end of the first counter is coupled to the control end of the pulse signal generating circuit.

[0111] In an embodiment of the present invention, the count value of the first counter is used to represent the duration that the sampling voltage VDET remains at a high level. When the count value of the first counter reaches a first preset value, the duration corresponding to the first preset value is the first duration, at which time the pre-pulse signal generating circuit generates a pre-pulse signal.

[0112] like Figure 4 As shown, when the sampling voltage VDET remains at a high level, the sampling voltage VDET is inverted by the first Schmitt trigger, and the gate of the fourth NMOS transistor MN4 is at a low level, so the fourth NMOS transistor MN4 is disconnected. The fourth current source I4 charges the fourth capacitor C4. When the voltage at the first terminal of the fourth capacitor C4 reaches the fifth reference voltage Vref5, the seventh comparator Comp7 outputs a high level. At this time, the fifth NMOS transistor MN5 turns on, the charge accumulated on the fourth capacitor C4 is released, and the output of the seventh comparator Comp7 switches from a high level to a low level. The first counter can record the number of flips of the seventh comparator Comp7. Each time the seventh comparator Comp7 flips, the count value of the first counter increases by 1. When the count value of the first counter reaches a first preset value, the pre-pulse signal generating circuit generates a pre-pulse signal.

[0113] In an embodiment of the present invention, the first counter may include a fourth inverter INV4, a fourth D flip-flop D4, a fifth D flip-flop D5, a sixth D flip-flop D6, and a first NAND gate circuit NAND1, wherein:

[0114] An input terminal of the fourth inverter INV4 is a control terminal of the first counter, and an output terminal of the fourth inverter INV4 is coupled to reset terminals of the fourth D flip-flop D4, the fifth D flip-flop D5, and the sixth D flip-flop D6 respectively;

[0115] A clock signal input terminal of the fourth D flip-flop D4 is an input terminal of the first counter and is coupled to the output terminal of the seventh comparator Comp7; a D terminal of the fourth D flip-flop D4 is coupled to a Q NOT terminal of the fourth D flip-flop D4; and a Q terminal of the fourth D flip-flop D4 is coupled to a clock signal input terminal of the fifth D flip-flop D5 and a first input terminal of the first NAND gate circuit NAND1;

[0116] The D terminal of the fifth D flip-flop D5 is coupled to the Q NOT terminal of the fifth D flip-flop D5 , and the Q terminal of the fifth D flip-flop D5 is coupled to the clock signal input terminal of the sixth D flip-flop D6 and the second input terminal of the first NAND gate circuit NAND1 ;

[0117] The D terminal of the sixth D flip-flop D6 is coupled to the Q NOT terminal of the sixth D flip-flop D6 , and the Q terminal of the sixth D flip-flop D6 is coupled to the third input terminal of the first NAND gate circuit NAND1 ;

[0118] An output terminal of the third NAND gate circuit NAND3 is coupled to an output terminal of the first counter. The third NAND gate circuit NAND3 performs a NAND operation on the Q-terminal output of the fourth D flip-flop D4, the Q-terminal output of the fifth D flip-flop D5, and the Q-terminal output of the sixth D flip-flop D6. When the Q-terminal output of the fourth D flip-flop D4, the Q-terminal output of the fifth D flip-flop D5, and the Q-terminal output of the sixth D flip-flop D6 are all 1, the pre-pulse signal generating circuit generates a pre-pulse signal Pre_pulse.

[0119] It should be noted that the structure of the first counter described above corresponds to an application scenario in which the first preset value of the first counter is 7. When the Q-end output of the fourth D flip-flop D4, the Q-end output of the fifth D flip-flop D5, and the Q-end output of the sixth D flip-flop D6 of the first counter are all 1, it means that the count value of the first counter reaches 7. At this time, the pre-pulse signal generating circuit generates the pre-pulse signal Pre_pulse.

[0120] In the embodiment of the present invention, the active state of the pre-pulse signal Pre_pulse is a low level.

[0121] In practical applications, the first counter may also have other structures. For example, when the count value of the first counter is 3, it is determined that the count value of the first counter reaches the first preset value. At this time, the first counter may only include the fourth D flip-flop D4 and the fifth D flip-flop D5.

[0122] The first preset value corresponding to the first counter may also be other values, such as 3 or 15, or other values.

[0123] In an embodiment of the present invention, the pulse signal generating circuit may include: a fifth inverter INV5, a first delay circuit, and a second NAND gate circuit NAND2, wherein:

[0124] The input end of the fifth inverter INV5 is the input end of the pulse signal generating circuit, and the output end of the fifth inverter INV5 is coupled to the first input end of the second NAND gate circuit NAND2 and the first end of the first delay circuit;

[0125] The second terminal of the first delay circuit is coupled to the second input terminal of the second NAND gate circuit NAND2;

[0128] An input terminal of the sixth inverter INV6 is a first input terminal of the light-load signal generating circuit, and an output terminal of the sixth inverter INV6 is coupled to an input terminal of the second counter;

[0129] When the second counter detects that the pulse signal of the second preset value is continuously received, the second counter generates a light load signal and outputs it through the output terminal.

[0130] The second counter may include a seventh D flip-flop D7, an eighth D flip-flop D8, and a third NAND gate circuit NAND3, wherein:

[0131] A clock signal input terminal of the seventh D flip-flop D7 is coupled to the input terminal of the second counter, a D terminal of the seventh D flip-flop D7 is coupled to a Q NOT terminal of the seventh D flip-flop D7, and a Q terminal of the seventh D flip-flop D7 is coupled to the clock signal input terminal of the eighth D flip-flop D8 and the first input terminal of the third NAND gate circuit NAND3;

[0132] The D terminal of the eighth D flip-flop D8 is coupled to the Q NOT terminal of the eighth D flip-flop D8 , and the Q terminal of the eighth D flip-flop D8 is coupled to the second input terminal of the third NAND gate circuit NAND3 ;

[0133] An output terminal of the third NAND gate circuit NAND3 is coupled to an output terminal of the second counter.

[0134] It should be noted that the aforementioned structure of the second counter corresponds to an application scenario in which the second preset value of the second counter is 3. When the Q-terminal output of the seventh D flip-flop D7 and the Q-terminal output of the eighth D flip-flop D8 are both 1, it means that the count value of the second counter reaches 3. At this time, the light-load signal generating circuit generates and outputs a light-load signal.

[0135] It is understandable that if the second preset value is other values, the structure of the corresponding second counter can be determined according to the second preset value, and is not limited to the structure of the second counter provided in the above embodiment of the present invention.

[0137] In an embodiment of the present invention, the detection trigger sub-circuit can also output a second trigger signal after detecting the generation of a light load signal, if the sampling voltage VDET is at a low level for a consecutive number of times reaching a fourth preset value, so that the light load signal generating circuit stops generating the light load signal, that is, controls the synchronous rectification circuit to exit the light load mode.

[0138] In an embodiment of the present invention, the detection trigger sub-circuit may include: a second Schmitt trigger, a seventh inverter INV7, and a third counter, wherein:

[0142] In an embodiment of the present invention, when the count value of the third counter reaches a third preset value, a first trigger signal is output to the control end of the second counter; when the generation of a light load signal is detected, if the count value of the third counter reaches a fourth preset value, a second trigger signal is output to the output end of the light load signal generating circuit.

[0143] In an embodiment of the present invention, the third counter may include: a ninth D flip-flop D9, a tenth D flip-flop D10, an eleventh D flip-flop D11, a twelfth D flip-flop D12, a thirteenth D flip-flop D13, a fourteenth D flip-flop D14, a fourth NAND gate circuit NAND4, a fifth NAND gate circuit NAND5, and an eighth inverter INV8, wherein:

[0151] It should be noted that the structure of the third counter described above corresponds to an application scenario where the third preset value is 5 and the fourth preset value is 12. If the third preset value and / or the fourth preset value is other values, the structure of the third counter can be adjusted accordingly.

[0152] Reference Figure 8 , gives a working waveform diagram of a light load detection circuit in an embodiment of the present invention.
