[0020] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below. It should be noted that the embodiments described herein are only for illustration and are not intended to limit the present invention. In the following description, a large number of specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it is obvious to those of ordinary skill in the art that these specific details do not have to be used to implement the present invention. In other examples, in order to avoid confusing the present invention, known circuits, materials or methods are not specifically described.

Therefore, the phrases "in one embodiment," "in an embodiment," "an example," or "an example" appearing in various places throughout the specification do not necessarily all refer to the same embodiment or example.

In addition, it will be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art that the figures provided herein are for illustrative purposes and that the figures are not necessarily drawn to scale. The same reference numerals indicate the same elements. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0022] Figure 1 FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram of the circuit structure of an existing isolated switch circuit 10. Figure 1 As shown, the isolated switch circuit 10 includes: an energy storage device T1, that is, a transformer, including a primary winding Lp and a secondary winding Ls; a primary power switch P1 coupled to the primary winding Lp of the energy storage device T1; a secondary switch D1 coupled to the secondary winding Ls of the energy storage device T1; and an output capacitor COUT. The isolated switch circuit 10 is a typical flyback topology, in which the primary power switch P1 is turned on and off under the control of the switch control signal G1, transferring energy from the primary side to the secondary side, and outputting the output voltage VOUT and power required by the subsequent load.

[0023] In the isolated switch circuit 10, the primary winding Lp is connected or disconnected with the primary ground PGND through the primary power switch P1, thereby generating a switching signal at the connection point C between the primary winding Lp and the primary power switch P1. Similarly, the secondary winding Ls is connected or disconnected with the secondary switch D1, and a switching signal is generated at the connection point B between the secondary winding Ls and the secondary switch D1. The switching signal at the connection point C is coupled to the secondary winding Ls through the parasitic capacitance Cp1 between the primary and secondary sides of the transformer T1, and the noise flows back to the power supply terminal A with the help of the parasitic capacitance of the secondary side to the ground, thereby forming noise pollution. The switching noise at the connection point B is coupled to the power supply terminal A of the primary winding Lp through the parasitic capacitance Cp2 of the secondary winding Ls of the transformer T1 to the primary side, thereby causing noise pollution to the power supply.

[0024] Figure 2 The circuit structure diagram of the isolated switch circuit 20 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. The isolated switch circuit 20 has a Flyback topology structure, including a transformer T1, a primary power switch P1, a secondary switch D1 and a noise control circuit 200 of the illustrated connection structure. The noise control circuit 200 includes: a reverse noise circuit 201, having a first input terminal receiving a noise signal Vn, a second input terminal receiving an adjustment signal Vadj, and based on the noise signal Vn and the adjustment signal Vadj, the reverse noise circuit 201 outputs a noise control signal Vp1 at an output terminal; a coupling circuit 202, having a first terminal coupled to the output terminal of the reverse noise circuit 201 to receive the noise control signal Vp1, and a second terminal coupled to the ground terminal SGND of the isolated switch circuit 20; and an adjustment circuit 203, having a first terminal coupled to the second input terminal of the reverse noise circuit 201, and a second terminal coupled to the primary ground PGND of the isolated switch circuit 20.

[0025] The reverse noise circuit 201 receives the noise signal Vn and outputs a noise control signal Vp1 based on the noise signal Vn. Figure 2 In the embodiment, the noise signal Vn is a signal of the gate of the primary power switch P1. In some embodiments, the reverse noise circuit 201 detects a signal at the coupling point between the primary power switch P1 and the primary winding Lp, and outputs a noise control signal Vp1 based on the signal. It should be understood that Figure 2The primary power switch P1 is an N-type transistor, and the phases of the signals at its gate and drain are opposite. When the gate signal of the primary power switch P1 is high, the primary power switch P1 is turned on, and its drain signal is low. When the gate signal of the primary power switch P1 is low, the primary power switch P1 is turned off, and its drain signal is high. In some embodiments, when the primary power switch P1 is a P-type transistor, the source of the P-type transistor is coupled to the primary winding Lp. When the gate signal of the P-type transistor is high, the P-type transistor is turned off, and its source signal is high. When the gate signal of the P-type transistor is low, the P-type transistor is turned on, and its source signal is low. In other words, the signal at the control end (gate) of the primary power switch P1 corresponds to the signal at one end (drain or source) connected to the primary winding Lp, and the phases are the same or opposite. Therefore, the noise signal Vn can be a signal at the signal transition end of the primary power switch P1, that is, a signal at the control end of the primary power switch P1 or a signal at the coupling point between the primary power switch P1 and the primary winding Lp. Further, a signal at other ends of the isolated switch circuit 20 that is the same or opposite in phase to the switch control signal G1 of the gate of the primary power switch P1 can also be used as the noise signal Vn.

[0026] In one embodiment, the regulating circuit 203 includes resistors, and the amplitude of the noise control signal Vp1 can be adjusted by coupling resistors with different resistance values. In other embodiments, the regulating circuit 203 may also include capacitors, that is, the amplitude of the noise control signal Vp1 can be adjusted by coupling capacitors with different capacitance values.

[0027] In one embodiment, the coupling circuit 202 includes a capacitor, and the capacitor couples the noise control signal Vp1 to the secondary ground SGND to cancel the noise signal at the secondary ground SGND.

[0028] As mentioned above, the noise at the secondary ground SGND can be coupled to the non-grounded terminal B of the secondary winding Ls through other circuit structures connected to the secondary winding Ls. The on-off of the secondary switch D1 will also generate switching noise at the non-grounded terminal B of the secondary winding Ls, and may be coupled to the secondary ground SGND. Therefore, in some embodiments, one end of the coupling circuit 202 is coupled to the output end of the reverse noise circuit 201 to receive the noise control signal Vp1, and the other end is coupled to the non-grounded terminal B of the secondary winding Ls. In other words, the coupling circuit 202 can be coupled to any end of the secondary winding Ls.

[0029] In one embodiment, the reverse noise circuit 201 and the control circuit generating the switch control signal G1 are integrated into the same chip, while the coupling circuit 202 and the regulating circuit 203 are discrete devices independent of the reverse noise circuit 201. In other embodiments, the coupling circuit 202 or the regulating circuit 203 may also be integrated into the same chip as the reverse noise circuit 201, or all three may be integrated into the same chip.

[0030] Figure 3 The circuit structure diagram of the isolated switch circuit 30 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. The isolated switch circuit 30 includes a noise control circuit 300. The noise control circuit 300 includes: a reverse noise circuit 301, a resistor R1 and a capacitor Cs. The reverse noise circuit 301 includes: a detection and adjustment circuit 3011, having an input end coupled to the resistor R1, outputting a pull-up voltage adjustment signal V1 at a first output end and outputting a pull-down voltage adjustment signal V2 at a second output end based on the resistance value of the resistor R1; a logic circuit 3012, having a power supply adjustment end receiving the pull-up voltage adjustment signal V1, a ground adjustment end receiving the pull-down voltage adjustment signal V2, having an input end receiving a noise signal Vn, and based on the pull-up voltage adjustment signal V1, the pull-down voltage adjustment signal V2 and the driving signal Vn, the logic circuit 3012 outputs a noise control signal Vp1 at an output end.

[0031] exist Figure 3In an embodiment, the logic circuit 3012 includes an inverter A1, a pull-up voltage source VS1, and a pull-down voltage source VS2. The pull-up voltage source VS1 has a control end for receiving a pull-up voltage adjustment signal V1, and an output end for outputting a pull-up voltage signal VH, and the value of the pull-up voltage signal VH is controlled by the pull-up voltage adjustment signal V1. The pull-down voltage source VS2 has a control end for receiving a pull-down voltage adjustment signal V2, and an output end for outputting a pull-down voltage signal VL, and the value of the pull-down voltage signal VL is controlled by the pull-down voltage adjustment signal V2. The inverter A1 has a power supply end for receiving a pull-up voltage signal VH, a ground end for receiving a pull-down voltage signal VL, an input end for receiving a noise signal Vn, and an output end for outputting a noise control signal Vp1. In one embodiment, when the voltage of the noise signal Vn is lower than the threshold value, the value of the noise control signal Vp1 output by the inverter A1 is the same as the value of the pull-up voltage signal VH, and when the voltage of the noise signal Vn is higher than the threshold value, the value of the noise control signal Vp1 output by the inverter A1 is the same as the value of the pull-down voltage signal VL. In some embodiments, the threshold value of the inverter A1 is a hysteresis threshold, that is, the threshold value includes an upper hysteresis limit and a lower hysteresis limit, that is, when the voltage of the noise signal Vn is lower than the lower hysteresis limit, the value of the noise control signal Vp1 output by the inverter A1 is the same as the value of the pull-up voltage signal VH, and when the voltage of the noise signal Vn is higher than the upper hysteresis limit, the value of the noise control signal Vp1 output by the inverter A1 is the same as the value of the pull-down voltage signal VL. It should be understood that placing an odd number of inverters before the inverter A1 can change the phase of the noise control signal Vp1, while placing an even number of inverters will keep the phase of the noise control signal Vp1 unchanged, and the phase of the noise control signal Vp1 is also related to the noise intensity of the primary and secondary sides, so whether the noise control signal Vp1 needs to be inverted depends on the actual application circuit. In some embodiments, the input end of the reverse noise circuit 301 can be coupled to the connection point between the primary power switch P1 and the primary winding Lp.

[0032] In some embodiments, the detection and adjustment circuit 3011 may be composed of a current source circuit and a reference circuit, wherein the current source circuit provides current to the resistor R1 to form an adjustment signal Vadj thereon, and the reference circuit outputs a pull-up voltage adjustment signal V1 and a pull-down voltage adjustment signal V2 based on the adjustment signal Vadj. In other words, by changing the resistance value of the resistor R1, the adjustment signal Vadj can be changed, thereby adjusting the values ​​of the pull-up voltage adjustment signal V1 and the pull-down voltage adjustment signal V2.

[0033] In some embodiments, the detection and adjustment circuit 3011 can be implemented by a digital circuit, such as a table lookup circuit. The detection and adjustment circuit 3011 detects the resistance of the resistor R1 and provides a pull-up voltage adjustment signal V1 and a pull-down voltage adjustment signal V2 with corresponding voltage values ​​according to the resistance.

[0034] According to the needs of the subsequent circuit, the values ​​of the pull-up voltage regulation signal V1 and the pull-down voltage regulation signal V2 can be the same or different. The pull-up voltage regulation signal V1 is used to control the pull-up voltage signal VH output by the pull-up voltage source VS1, and the pull-down voltage regulation signal V2 is used to control the pull-down voltage signal VL output by the pull-down voltage source VS2, that is, the values ​​of the pull-up voltage signal VH and the pull-down voltage signal VL correspond to the pull-up voltage regulation signal V1 and the pull-down voltage regulation signal V2, respectively, that is, the values ​​of the pull-up voltage signal VH and the pull-down voltage signal VL are indirectly controlled by the resistor R1.

[0035] exist Figure 3 In the embodiment, the waveform of the noise control signal Vp1 is opposite to that of the noise signal Vn, and the amplitude is determined by the pull-up voltage signal VH and the pull-down voltage signal VL. The noise control signal Vp1 is coupled to the secondary ground SGND through the capacitor Cs. By detecting the noise at the power supply end of the isolated switch circuit 30 and adjusting the resistance value of the resistor R1 according to the noise detected at the power supply end, the noise pollution caused by the switching action of the isolated switch circuit 30 can be reduced to a lower level.

[0036] Figure 4 FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of a circuit structure of an isolated switch circuit 40 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The isolated switch circuit 40 includes a noise control circuit 400. Figure 3 Compared with the isolated switch circuit 30 shown in FIG. Figure 4 In the embodiment, the auxiliary winding La replaces the capacitor Cs as a coupling device, one end of the auxiliary winding La is coupled to the output end of the reverse noise circuit 301 to receive the noise control signal Vp1, and the other end is suspended, and the parasitic capacitance between the auxiliary winding La and the secondary winding Ls is used to couple the noise control signal Vp1 to the secondary circuit. A person skilled in the art can make the coil direction of the auxiliary winding La consistent with or opposite to that of the primary winding Lp according to the specific circuit application. For example, in Figure 4 In the embodiment, the coil directions of the auxiliary winding La and the primary winding Lp are consistent.

[0037] Figure 5The circuit structure diagram of an isolated switch circuit 50 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. The isolated switch circuit 50 includes a noise control circuit 500. The noise control circuit 500 includes: a feedback circuit 503, having a first input terminal coupled to the secondary ground SGND of the isolated switch circuit 50, and a second input terminal coupled to the primary ground PGND of the isolated switch circuit 50. Based on the current flowing between the secondary ground SGND and the primary ground PGND, the feedback circuit 503 outputs a regulation signal Vadj at the output terminal; a reverse noise circuit 301, having a first input terminal receiving a noise signal Vn, a second input terminal receiving a regulation signal Vadj, and based on the noise signal Vn and the regulation signal Vadj, the reverse noise circuit 301 outputs a noise control signal Vp1 at the output terminal; and a coupling circuit 202, having a first terminal coupled to the output terminal of the reverse noise circuit 301 to receive the noise control signal Vp1, and having a second terminal coupled to the secondary ground SGND of the isolated switch circuit 50.

[0038] exist Figure 5 In an embodiment, the feedback circuit 503 outputs a regulation signal Vadj based on the current between the primary ground PGND and the secondary ground SGND of the isolation switch circuit 50. In an embodiment, the feedback circuit 503 includes a resistor, and the noise at the primary ground PGND and the secondary ground SGND flows through the resistor in the form of current, thereby generating a regulation signal Vadj on the resistor that represents the noise of the primary ground PGND and the secondary ground SGND. It should be understood that in some embodiments, the feedback circuit 503 can also be coupled to the non-grounded terminal B of the secondary winding, and output the regulation signal Vadj based on the signal at the non-grounded terminal B of the secondary winding.

[0039] Figure 6 The circuit structure diagram of an isolated switch circuit 60 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. The isolated switch circuit 60 includes a noise control circuit 600. The noise control circuit 600 includes: a reverse noise circuit 301, a capacitor Cs and a feedback circuit 603. The feedback circuit 603 includes a noise detection capacitor Cd, a noise detection resistor R2 and a differential circuit EA1. The noise detection capacitor Cd and the noise detection resistor R2 are coupled in series between the primary ground PGND and the secondary ground SGND, and the noise at the primary ground PGND and the secondary ground SGND is introduced into the feedback circuit 603 in the form of current, and a feedback signal Vfb is generated on the noise detection resistor R2. The input end of the differential circuit EA1 is coupled to the two ends of the noise detection resistor R2 to receive the feedback signal Vfb, and the adjustment signal Vadj is output based on the feedback signal Vfb. In one embodiment, the adjustment signal Vadj is an amplified signal of the feedback signal Vfb.

[0040] and Figure 3The working conditions in the embodiment are the same, the reverse noise circuit 301 receives the adjustment signal Vadj, and generates a noise control signal Vp1 based on the adjustment signal Vadj and the noise signal Vn. The noise control signal Vp1 is coupled to the secondary ground SGND through the capacitor Cs to offset the noise signal at the secondary ground SGND.

[0041] exist Figure 6 In the embodiment, it can also be understood that the noise control circuit 600 creates a loop for the noise at the secondary ground SGND, so that the noise cannot be transmitted to the power supply end of the isolation switch circuit 60 .

[0042] In one embodiment, the noise control signal Vp1 can be coupled to the non-grounded end B of the secondary winding Ls through the capacitor Cs to offset the noise of the non-grounded end B of the secondary winding Ls and prevent it from being transmitted to the power supply end of the isolation switch circuit 60 .

The noise signal flowing from the primary side to the secondary side is offset in the transformer T1, thereby reducing the noise level coupled to the power input end.

[0044] Figure 8 FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram showing a circuit structure of an isolated switch circuit 80 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 8 As shown, the isolated switch circuit 80 includes a noise control circuit 800. The noise control circuit 800 includes a reverse noise circuit 801. The reverse noise circuit 801 has an input end coupled to the signal jump end of the secondary switch D1 of the isolated switch circuit 80, that is, the non-grounded end B of the secondary winding Ls, receives the noise signal Vn, has an adjustment end to receive the adjustment signal Vadj, has an output end to output the noise control signal Vp1, and is coupled to the primary ground PGND. Figure 8In an embodiment, the reverse noise circuit 801 includes a variable capacitor Ca and a detection and adjustment circuit 8011. The detection and adjustment circuit 8011 has an input terminal coupled to the resistor R1, and outputs a capacitance adjustment signal V3 at the output terminal based on the resistance of the resistor R1. One end of the variable capacitor Ca is coupled to the signal transition terminal B of the secondary switch D1, and the other end is coupled to the primary ground PGND. The control end receives the adjustment signal V3, and the capacitance adjustment signal V3 adjusts the capacitance of the variable capacitor Ca so that it couples the noise of the signal transition terminal B of the secondary switch D1 to the primary ground PGND, providing a suitable return path for the secondary noise to flow to the primary ground PGND, so as to achieve cancellation with the primary noise, so as to prevent the noise from coupling to the power supply end of the isolation switch circuit 80.

[0045] The detection and adjustment circuit 8011 may include a current source circuit and a reference circuit.
