[0027] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this application. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of this application.
[0028] To better understand this application, the working principle and process of the charger will be described below with reference to Figure 1, which will facilitate subsequent understanding of the solution in this application. However, it should be understood that the following description is only for better understanding of this application and should not impose any special limitations on this application.
[0029] Power conversion devices for small portable electronic devices and appliances, such as adapters, chargers, and car chargers, are generally composed of components such as a casing, transformer, inductor, capacitor, control IC, and PCB board, and are used to convert AC input into DC output.
[0030] like Figure 1a As shown, in one embodiment, the charger may include a primary control module 111, a secondary control module 112, a primary drive unit 121, a synchronous rectification drive unit 122, a primary-side switch 131, a secondary-side switch 132, a transformer 140, and an optocoupler (also known as an optocoupler or optoisolator) 150.
[0031] In an embodiment of the present application, the primary side switch 131 can be used to rectify, filter, and / or modulate the input AC current of the charger. The secondary side switch 132 can be used to synchronize the rectification of the output current of the transformer 140.
[0032] The secondary control module 112 can be used to obtain the voltage / current information of the output of the transformer 140, or the voltage / current information of the output of the charger, and transmit the error information (e.g., the error information can be the difference between the actual output voltage / current information and the required voltage / current information) to the primary control module 111 through the optocoupler 150. The primary control module 111 can convert the error information into the duty cycle or frequency of the PWM control signal, and output the PWM control signal to the primary drive unit 121, thereby driving the primary side switch 131. In this way, the output voltage and current of the transformer 140 can be adjusted and controlled. The synchronous rectification drive unit 122 is used to drive the secondary side switch 132, so that the secondary side switch 132 performs synchronous rectification.
[0033] Referring to Figure 1b In some embodiments, the secondary side switch 132 can also be driven and controlled by the primary control module 111 to achieve synchronous rectification. The primary control module 111 can output the corresponding PWM signal to control the secondary drive unit 123 according to the error information described above, thereby driving the secondary side switch 132.
[0034] The primary side switch 131 can include one or more metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs), MOS tubes, for example, the primary side switch 131 can include two MOS tubes or four MOS tubes. The secondary side switch 132 can also include one or more MOS tubes, for example, the secondary side switch 132 can include one MOS tube or two MOS tubes.
[0035] The electronic devices in this application embodiment may include, but are not limited to, satellite or cellular phones; personal communication system (PCS) terminals that can combine cellular radiophones with data processing, fax, and data communication capabilities; personal digital assistants (PDAs) that may include radiophones, pagers, internet / intranet access, web browsers, notebooks, calendars, and / or Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers; and conventional laptop and / or handheld receivers or other electronic devices including radiophone transceivers. In some embodiments, the device to be charged may refer to a mobile terminal device, such as a mobile phone or tablet. In some embodiments, the device to be charged mentioned in this application embodiment may refer to a chip system, in which the battery of the device to be charged may or may not be part of the chip system.
[0036] In addition, electronic devices can also include other devices that require charging, such as mobile phones, power banks (e.g., portable chargers, travel chargers), electric vehicles, laptops, drones, tablets, e-readers, e-cigarettes, smart devices awaiting charging, and small electronic products. Smart devices awaiting charging can include, for example, watches, fitness trackers, smart glasses, and robot vacuum cleaners. Small electronic products can include, for example, wireless headphones, Bluetooth speakers, electric toothbrushes, and rechargeable wireless mice.
[0037] like Figure 1a and Figure 1b In the illustrated embodiments, whether the primary-side and secondary-side MOSFETs are driven and controlled independently, or both are driven and controlled by the primary-side control module, the driving speed is not fast enough and the dead time is difficult to control precisely. Furthermore, communication between the primary and secondary sides can only be achieved through optocouplers, and the communication direction is singular, lacking flexibility and unable to transmit more information.
[0038] The charger provided in the application uses a micro-unit to transmit a control signal, so as to improve the driving speed and realize accurate control of dead time. In addition, when the control module outputs a high-frequency control signal, the dead time of the control signal can be set to be relatively short, so as to improve the efficiency and also not affect the crosstalk of the circuit. The first micro-unit is used to control the turn-on and turn-off of the first switch tube, the distance between the first transmitting end and the first receiving end of the first micro-unit can be set to be relatively far, so as to avoid the transmission of the parasitic capacitance generated by the first switch tube, thereby also avoiding the crosstalk of the circuit. At the same time, since the first micro-unit is used for isolation communication, fast bidirectional communication can be realized, and information such as driving information, state information and control information can be transmitted, the anti-interference performance is high, and the rapidity, flexibility and safety of communication can be improved.
[0039] The charger provided in the application will be described in detail below. Figure 2 The charger provided in the application will be described in detail below.
[0040] As shown in Figure 2 The charger 200 provided in the application can include a first control unit 211, a second control unit 212, a first micro-unit 221, at least one first switch tube 231 and a transformer 240.
[0041] The at least one primary side switch tube 231 is used to chop and modulate the voltage input to the transformer 240.
[0042] The at least one primary side switch tube 231 in the application can be used to chop and modulate the voltage input to the transformer 240, for example, the duty cycle of the primary side switch tube 231 can be controlled to change the voltage of the direct current output on the secondary side of the transformer 240.
[0043] The second control unit 212 is used to generate feedback information based on the voltage and / or current information output by the output end of the charger 200.
[0044] The first micro-unit 221 is connected with the first control unit 211 and the second control unit 212 respectively, and is used to transmit the feedback information to the first control unit 211.
[0045] The first micro-unit 221 in the application can transmit the feedback information obtained by the second control unit 212 to the first control unit 211. The feedback information can be the actual voltage value and / or current value of the output end of the charger, or the difference between the actual output voltage value and / or current value and the expected received voltage value and / or current value.
[0046] The first control unit 211 is used to output a first control signal according to the feedback information, so as to control the turn-on or turn-off of the at least one primary side switch tube 231.
[0047] In the embodiment, the feedback information output by the output end of the charger 200 can be fed back to the first control unit 211 by the second control unit 212 through the first microwave unit 221, and the first control unit 211 can output a first control signal according to the feedback information to control the turn-on or turn-off of the at least one primary side switch tube 231.
[0048] In the process of transmitting the control signal, the first transmitting end of the first microwave unit can convert the first control signal into a first microwave signal and transmit the first microwave signal to the first receiving end of the first microwave unit, and the first receiving end can convert the first microwave signal into the first control signal after receiving the first microwave signal, so that the converted first control signal can be used to control the turn-on and turn-off of the at least one first switch tube. On the one hand, since the first microwave unit has a fast response speed, the first transmitting end thereof can convert the first control signal into a first microwave signal and quickly transmit the first microwave signal to the first receiving end, so that the driving speed is fast and the dead time can be accurately controlled. Even if the dead time of the first control signal is short, the first switch tube can also be quickly turned on or turned off, and the crosstalk of the circuit can be avoided. On the other hand, since the transmission of the microwave does not rely on medium transmission, the distance between the first transmitting end and the first receiving end of the first microwave unit can be set to be relatively far, and the transmission of the parasitic capacitance generated by the first switch tube can be isolated, so that the crosstalk of the circuit can also be avoided. At the same time, since the first microwave unit is used for isolation communication, fast bidirectional communication can be realized, and information such as driving information, state information and control information can be transmitted, so that the anti-interference performance is high, and the rapidity, flexibility and safety of the communication can be improved.
[0049] Optionally, in some embodiments, as shown in Figure 3 The charger 200 can further include at least one secondary side switch tube 232.
[0050] The at least one secondary side switch tube 232 is configured to perform synchronous rectification on the voltage output by the transformer 240, and the first control unit is further configured to output a second control signal to control the turn-on or turn-off of the at least one secondary side switch tube 231.
[0051] Optionally, in some embodiments, the first control unit 211 is further configured to output the second control signal to control the turn-on or turn-off of the at least one secondary side switch tube 231 according to the voltage / current information.
[0052] In the embodiment, the charger 200 can further include at least one secondary side switch tube 232, and the secondary side switch tube 232 can perform synchronous rectification on the voltage output by the transformer 240.
[0053] The feedback information in the embodiment of the present application is the voltage difference and / or current difference of the DC current output by the transformer 240. The voltage difference can be the difference between the actual output voltage of the secondary side of the transformer 240 and the expected received voltage; the current difference can be the difference between the actual output current of the secondary side of the transformer 240 and the expected received current.
[0054] For example, assuming that the feedback voltage difference of the DC current received by the first control unit 211 is negative, it indicates that the voltage value output by the secondary side of the transformer 240 is small at this time, and the first control unit 211 can control to increase the output duration of the high level in a period, so that the duration of the primary side switch tube 231 in the conduction state is increased, thereby increasing the voltage value of the DC current output by the secondary side of the transformer; assuming that the feedback voltage difference of the DC current received by the first control unit 211 is positive, it indicates that the voltage value output by the secondary side of the transformer 240 is large at this time, and the first control unit 211 can control to reduce the output duration of the high level in a period, so that the duration of the primary side switch tube 231 in the conduction state is reduced, thereby reducing the voltage value of the DC current output by the secondary side of the transformer.
[0055] In some implementations, the feedback information in the embodiment of the present application can also be the voltage value and / or current value of the DC current output by the secondary side of the transformer 240, and the first micro unit 221 can feed back the voltage value and / or current value to the first control unit 211, and the first control unit 211 can compare the received voltage value and / or current value with the preset voltage value and / or current value. Assuming that the first control unit 211 compares the feedback voltage value of the DC current with the preset voltage value and determines that the voltage value of the DC current output by the secondary side of the transformer is small at this time, the first control unit 211 can control to increase the output duration of the high level in a period, so that the duration of the primary side switch tube 231 in the conduction state is increased, thereby increasing the voltage value of the DC current output by the secondary side of the transformer; if the first control unit 211 compares the feedback voltage value of the DC current with the preset voltage value and determines that the voltage value of the DC current output by the secondary side of the transformer is large at this time, the first control unit 211 can control to reduce the output duration of the high level in a period, so that the duration of the primary side switch tube 231 in the conduction state is reduced, thereby reducing the voltage value of the DC current output by the secondary side of the transformer.
[0056] It can be understood that the on-time of the at least one primary side switch tube 231 can be related to the direct current output on the secondary side of the transformer 240, that is, the longer the on-time of the at least one primary side switch tube 231, the greater the direct current output on the secondary side of the transformer 240; the shorter the on-time of the at least one primary side switch tube 231, the smaller the direct current output on the secondary side of the transformer 240.
[0057] In the embodiment of the application, the first microwave unit 221 can also include a transmitting end and a receiving end. The transmitting end of the first microwave unit 221 can convert the digital signal sent by the second control unit 212 into a microwave signal and transmit the microwave signal to the receiving end of the first microwave unit 221. After the third receiving end receives the microwave signal, the third receiving end can convert the microwave signal into a digital signal and send the digital signal to the first control unit 211, so that the first control unit 211 can control the output time of the high level and / or low level of the first control signal based on the received signal.
[0058] Optionally, in some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4 The charger 200 can further include a second microwave unit 222 and a first drive module 251.
[0059] The second microwave unit 222 is connected to the first control unit 211.
[0060] The first drive module 251 is connected to the second microwave unit 222 and the at least one primary side switch tube 231, respectively.
[0061] The second microwave unit 222 is configured to transmit the first control signal output by the first control unit 211 to the first drive module 251, so that the first drive module 251 drives the at least one primary side switch tube 231 to turn on or turn off.
[0062] The charger 200 in the embodiment of the application can further include a second microwave unit 222 and a first drive module 251. The transmitting end of the second microwave unit 222 can convert the first control signal output by the first control unit 211 into a microwave signal and transmit the microwave signal to the receiving end of the second microwave unit 222. After the receiving end receives the microwave signal, the receiving end can convert the microwave signal into the first control signal and transmit the first control signal to the first drive module 251, so as to drive or control the at least one primary side switch tube to turn on or turn off.
[0063] Optionally, in some embodiments, as shown in Figure 5 The charger 200 can further include a third microwave unit 223 and a second drive module 252.
[0064] The third microwave unit 223 is connected to the first control unit 211.
[0065] The second drive module 252 is connected with the third microwave unit 223 and the at least one secondary side switch tube 232 respectively.
[0066] The third microwave unit 223 is configured to transmit the second control signal output by the first control unit 211 to the second drive module 252, so that the second drive module 252 drives the at least one secondary side switch tube 232 to be turned on or turned off.
[0067] In the embodiment of the present application, the first control unit 211 can also control the at least one secondary side switch tube 232 to be turned on or turned off. For example, the transmitting end of the third microwave unit 223 can convert the control signal output by the first control unit 211 into a microwave signal and transmit the microwave signal to the receiving end of the second microwave unit 222. The receiving end of the second microwave unit 222 can convert the microwave signal into a control signal and transmit the control signal to the second drive module 252, so as to drive or control the at least one secondary side switch tube to be turned on or turned off.
[0068] The following will be described in detail. Figure 6a and Figure 6b respectively.
[0069] In the embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 6a , the drive circuit 200 can further include a first drive module 251 and a second drive module 252. The first drive module 251 can amplify the control signal output by the receiving end of the first microwave unit 221, so that the amplified signal can control the primary side switch tube 231 to be turned on or turned off. The second drive module 252 can amplify the control signal output by the third microwave unit 223, so that the amplified signal can control the secondary side switch tube 232 to be turned on or turned off.
[0070] It can be understood that the first drive module 251 or / and the second drive module 252 in the embodiment of the present application can be used to amplify the control signal output by the first control unit 211, that is, the control ability of the control signal can be increased, so that the control signal can control the switch tube.
[0071] The drive module in the embodiment of the present application can be a charge pump bootstrap control circuit, a control chip, etc.
[0072] As Figure 6bFig. 6 is a schematic structural diagram of a charger provided by another embodiment of the present application. In the embodiment, after the second control unit 212 sends the collected feedback information to the first control unit 211 through the first microwave unit 221, the first control unit 211 can control the output time of the high level and / or low level of the first control signal according to the received feedback information, so that the second drive module 252 can determine whether to send the drive signal to open the at least one second switch tube 232 according to whether the at least one switch tube 231 connected to the primary side of the transformer is turned on.
[0073] The second drive module 252 in the embodiment can be a synchronous rectification drive unit.
[0074] It should be understood that in the embodiment, the second control unit 212 can be connected to the first control unit 211 through the first microwave unit 221. Figures 2-4 In the embodiment, the second control unit 212 can be connected to the first control unit 211 through the second microwave unit 222. Figure 2 The drive unit thereof can be located between the first control unit 211 and the at least one primary side switch tube 231, so as to amplify the control signal output by the first control unit 211, so that the first control unit 211 can control the at least one primary side switch tube 231.
[0075] For the embodiment, the drive unit thereof can be located between the first control unit 211 and the at least one primary side switch tube 231, so as to amplify the control signal output by the first control unit 211, so that the first control unit 211 can control the at least one primary side switch tube 231. Figures 3-4 For the embodiment, the drive unit thereof can be located between the first control unit 211 and the at least one primary side switch tube 231, so as to amplify the control signal output by the first control unit 211, so that the first control unit 211 can control the at least one primary side switch tube 231.
[0076] The above describes that the transmitting end of the microwave unit in the embodiment can convert the control signal into a microwave signal and transmit the microwave signal to the receiving end, and the receiving end can convert the microwave signal into a control signal to control the turn-on or turn-off of the switch tube, so that the transformer connected to the switch tube can continuously store and release energy. In addition, the microwave unit in the embodiment can also be used to isolate the parasitic capacitance generated by the switch tube, which will be described in detail below.
[0077] Optionally, in some embodiments, the second microwave unit 222 is further used for transmitting the first control signal to control the turn-on or turn-off of the at least one primary side switch tube 231, and isolating the parasitic capacitance generated by the at least one primary side switch tube 231.
[0078] Optionally, in some embodiments, the third micro-unit 223 is further configured to transmit the second control signal to control the turn-on or turn-off of the at least one secondary-side switch tube 232 and isolate the parasitic capacitance generated by the at least one secondary-side switch tube 232.
[0079] In the embodiment, the first control unit 211 can output a high-level signal to transmit a signal to the at least one primary-side switch tube 231 through the second micro-unit 222 to control the turn-on of the primary-side switch tube 231; the first control unit 211 can also output a high-level signal to transmit a signal to the at least one secondary-side switch tube 232 through the third micro-unit 223 to control the turn-on of the secondary-side switch tube 232.
[0080] In the embodiment, the primary side of the transformer 240 can refer to the side connected with the at least one primary-side switch tube 231, and the secondary side of the transformer 240 can refer to the side connected with the at least one secondary-side switch tube 232.
[0081] In the embodiment, the second micro-unit 222 can also isolate the parasitic capacitance generated by the at least one primary-side switch tube 231 in the process of controlling the turn-on or turn-off of the at least one primary-side switch tube 231, that is, the second micro-unit 222 can isolate the transmission of the parasitic capacitance generated by the at least one primary-side switch tube 231 to other circuit modules, for example, to the at least one secondary-side switch tube 232, so that the crosstalk of the circuit can be avoided; the third micro-unit 223 can also isolate the parasitic capacitance generated by the at least one secondary-side switch tube 232 in the process of controlling the turn-on or turn-off of the at least one secondary-side switch tube 232, that is, the third micro-unit 223 can isolate the transmission of the parasitic capacitance generated by the at least one secondary-side switch tube 232 to other circuit modules, for example, to the at least one primary-side switch tube 231, so that the crosstalk of the circuit can be avoided.
[0082] As shown in FIG. 1, a schematic structural diagram of a charger is provided in the embodiment.

[0083] In the case that the first control unit 211 outputs a high level signal, if the pins of the MOS tube 231a and the N-channel MOS tube 231c are opened, the high level signal can be converted into a microwave signal by the transmitting end of the second microwave unit 222 and the microwave signal can be transmitted to the receiving end of the second microwave unit 222. After receiving the microwave signal, the receiving end can convert the microwave signal into a first control signal and transmit the first control signal to the N-channel MOS tube 231a and the N-channel MOS tube 231c. At this time, since the gate voltage of the N-channel MOS tube 231a is higher than the source voltage and the gate voltage of the N-channel MOS tube 231c is higher than the source voltage, the N-channel MOS tube 231a and the N-channel MOS tube 231c can be turned on.
[0084] In the case that the first control unit 211 outputs a high level signal, if the pins of the MOS tube 231a and the N-channel MOS tube 231c are opened, the high level signal can be converted into a microwave signal by the transmitting end of the second microwave unit 222 and the microwave signal can be transmitted to the receiving end of the second microwave unit 222. After receiving the microwave signal, the receiving end can convert the microwave signal into a first control signal and transmit the first control signal to the N-channel MOS tube 231a and the N-channel MOS tube 231c. At this time, since the gate voltage of the N-channel MOS tube 231a is higher than the source voltage and the gate voltage of the N-channel MOS tube 231c is higher than the source voltage, the N-channel MOS tube 231a and the N-channel MOS tube 231c can be turned on.
[0085] It should be understood that the full-bridge circuit diagram in the embodiments of the present application is not limited to the one shown in Figure 6a or Figure 6b and should not be particularly limited to the present application.
[0086] Optionally, in some embodiments, the first microwave unit and / or the second microwave unit and / or the third microwave unit include an Integrated Circuit (IC) chip, and an Extremely High Frequency (EHF) antenna is packaged in the IC chip.
[0087] The EHF antenna is packaged in the IC chip in the embodiments of the present application, including a transmitting antenna and a receiving antenna, i.e., the transmitting end and the receiving end in the embodiments of the present application. Thus, the microwave unit can realize high-speed data wireless transmission (for example, the transmission speed can reach up to 6 GB / s) based on a high carrier frequency (for example, 60 GHz).
[0088] In the embodiments of the present application, it can be understood that, taking the first microwave unit 221 as an example, since the first transmitting end of the first microwave unit 221 can convert the first control signal output by the first control unit 211 into a first microwave signal, and the microwave signal can propagate without relying on a medium in the process of propagation, the propagation speed in vacuum is equivalent to the speed of light, therefore, after the first control signal is converted into the first microwave signal by the first transmitting end of the first microwave unit 221, the first microwave signal can be quickly transmitted to the first receiving end of the first microwave unit 221, and the first receiving end of the first microwave unit 221 converts the first microwave signal into the first control signal again, so that the at least one first switch tube 231 can be quickly responded.
[0089] The first switch tube 231 and / or the second switch tube 232 in the embodiments of the present application can be an Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) or a MOS tube or a triode, and the present application does not make a specific limitation thereto.
[0090] Optionally, in some embodiments, the charger 200 can further include a first isolation unit and a second isolation unit.
[0091] The first isolation unit is configured to isolate the parasitic capacitance generated by the at least one primary side switch tube 231, and the second isolation unit is configured to isolate the parasitic capacitance generated by the at least one secondary side switch tube 232, wherein one end of the first isolation unit is connected with the second microwave unit 222, and the other end is connected with the at least one primary side switch tube 231, one end of the second isolation unit is connected with the third microwave unit 223, and the other end is connected with the at least one secondary side switch tube 232.
[0092] In the embodiments of the present application, the first isolation unit can isolate the transmission of the parasitic capacitance generated by the at least one primary side switch tube 231 at a high frequency to other circuit modules, for example, the at least one secondary side switch tube 232, and the second isolation unit can isolate the transmission of the parasitic capacitance generated by the at least one secondary side switch tube 232 at a high frequency to other circuit modules, for example, the at least one primary side switch tube 231, so that the crosstalk of the circuit can be further avoided.
[0093] In this embodiment, since microwaves have a high transmission speed, the distance between the first transmitting end and the first receiving end of the second microwave unit 222 can be set to be relatively far, for example, greater than the first threshold. Therefore, the second microwave unit 221 itself can isolate the parasitic capacitance generated by the primary-side switch 231 from transmission to other circuit modules, such as the secondary-side switch 232. The setting of the first isolation unit can further isolate the parasitic capacitance generated by the primary-side switch 231 from transmission to other circuit modules, such as the secondary-side switch 232.
[0094] Similarly, the distance between the third transmitter and the third receiver of the third microwave unit 223 can also be set to be relatively far, for example, greater than the second threshold. Therefore, the third microwave unit 223 itself can isolate the parasitic capacitance generated by the secondary-side switch 232 from transmission to other circuit modules, such as the primary-side switch 231. The setting of the second isolation unit can further isolate the parasitic capacitance generated by the secondary-side switch 232 from transmission to other circuit modules, such as the primary-side switch 231.
[0095] Optionally, in some implementations, such as Figure 7 As shown, the first control unit 211 includes: a first control subunit 211a, connected to the second microwave unit 222, for outputting the first control signal to the second microwave unit 222, and for controlling the output time of the first control signal; and a second sub-control unit 211b, connected to the third microwave unit 223, for outputting the second control signal to the third microwave unit 223, and for controlling the output time of the second control signal.
[0096] In the embodiments of the present application, the second microwave unit 222 and the third microwave unit 223 can also transmit control signals through two control units respectively. For example, the first sub-control unit 211a can transmit a first control signal to the second microwave unit 222. The transmitting end of the second microwave unit 222 can convert the first control signal transmitted by the first sub-control unit 211a into a first microwave signal and transmit it to the receiving end of the second microwave unit 222. After receiving the first microwave signal, the receiving end can convert the first microwave signal into the first control signal and transmit the first control signal to the primary side switch tube 231 to control the conduction or turn-off of the primary side switch tube 231. The second sub-control unit 211b can transmit a second control signal to the third microwave unit 223. The third transmitting end of the third microwave unit 223 can convert the second control signal transmitted by the second sub-control unit 211b into a second microwave signal and transmit it to the third receiving end of the third microwave unit 223. After receiving the second microwave signal, the third receiving end can convert the second microwave signal into the second control signal and transmit the second control signal to the secondary side switch tube 232 to control the conduction or turn-off of the secondary side switch tube 232.
[0097] It should be noted that the first sub-control unit 211a and the second sub-control unit 211b can communicate with each other, so that the first sub-control unit 211a and the second sub-control unit 211b can output control signals more accurately.
[0098] Optionally, in some embodiments, the dead time of the first control signal and / or the second control signal is less than a first threshold.
[0099] In combination Figure 8 It is explained that, in the time period (t1-t2), the first sub-control unit 211a can output a high level to control the primary side switch tube 231 to be in the on state. At the time point t2, the first sub-control unit 211a can output a low level to control the primary side switch tube 231 to be in the off state. From Figure 8 It can be seen from the above that, when the first sub-control unit 211a outputs a low level at the time point t2, the second sub-control unit 211b does not output a low level instantaneously, but starts to output a low level at the time point t3 to control the conduction of the secondary side switch tube 232, so that the energy stored in the primary side of the transformer 240 can be released to the secondary side of the transformer 240.
[0100] The time period (t2-t3) is referred to as dead time, during which the first sub-control unit 211a can output a low level and the second sub-control unit 211b can output a high level, so that the primary side switch tube 231 is completely turned off before the secondary side switch tube 232 is controlled to be turned on, to avoid the parasitic capacitance generated due to the early turn-on of the secondary side switch tube 232 when the energy stored in the primary side of the transformer 240 is released to the secondary side, from being transmitted to the primary side switch tube 231, thus causing the mis-turn-on of the primary side switch tube 231 and the crosstalk of the circuit.
[0101] In the embodiment of the present application, the first sub-control unit 211a and the second sub-control unit 211b can communicate with each other. For example, the first sub-control unit 211a can inform the first sub-control unit 211a to stop outputting a high level at the time point t2 and start outputting a low level, and the second sub-control unit 211b can start outputting a low level after a preset dead time after receiving the notification of the first sub-control unit 211a, that is, output a low level at the time point t3, to avoid the parasitic capacitance generated due to the early turn-on of the secondary side switch tube 232 when the energy stored in the primary side of the transformer 240 is released to the secondary side, from being transmitted to other circuit modules, for example, the primary side switch tube 231, thus causing the crosstalk of the circuit.
[0102] Alternatively, the first sub-control unit 211a can inform the second sub-control unit 211b to output a low level at the time point t3 at any time point during the dead time (t2-t3) after the first sub-control unit 211a stops outputting a high level at the time point t2, to avoid the parasitic capacitance generated due to the early turn-on of the secondary side switch tube 232 when the energy stored in the primary side of the transformer 240 is released to the secondary side, from being transmitted to other circuit modules, for example, the primary side switch tube 231, thus causing the crosstalk of the circuit.
[0103] In the embodiment of the present application, the first sub-control unit 211a can also receive the synchronization signal sent by the second sub-control unit 211b to determine the output time of the high level and / or the low level.
[0104] Optionally, in some embodiments, the preset frequency of the first control signal and / or the second control signal is greater than a second threshold value.
[0105] The preset frequency of the first control signal and / or the second control signal in the embodiment of the present application can be greater than a second threshold value. Taking the first control signal as an example, for example, if the second threshold value is 200 KHz, assuming that the preset frequency of the first control signal is 250 KHz, that is, the sum of the turn-on and turn-off time of the two switch tubes can be 4us. In combination with the above description, the first control signal can be output at a frequency of 250 KHz, and the second control signal can be output at a frequency of 200 KHz. Figure 7 and Figure 8It is explained that the first sub-control unit 211a outputs high level in the time period (t1-t2), if the dead time is 0.4us, the time period (t1-t2) in the figure is 1.6us, and the time period (t2-t3) in the figure is 0.4us. Then, the primary side switch tube 231 is turned on for 1.6us in a period, and the first sub-control unit 211a can output low level in the dead time of 0.4us in the time period (t2-t3) to make the primary side switch tube 231 completely off. After the primary side switch tube 231 is completely off, the second sub-control unit 211b starts to output low level to make the secondary side switch tube 232 conduct.
[0106] It can be understood that when the second sub-control unit 211b outputs low level in the time period (t3-t4), the first sub-control unit 211a can also output low level to make the primary side switch tube 231 in the off state, so that the circuit crosstalk caused by the mis-conduction of the primary side switch tube 231 can be avoided.
[0107] In some implementations, the preset frequency of the first control signal and the preset frequency of the second control signal can be different, which is not limited in the application.
[0108] It should be understood that the above numerical values are only illustrative, and other numerical values can also be used, which should not be particularly limited in the application.
[0109] It should also be understood that the greater the preset frequency in the embodiment of the application, that is, the smaller the period of the signal output by the control unit, the smaller the dead time can be set, and the micro-unit in the embodiment of the application can quickly transmit the signal to the switch tube, so that the switch tube can be quickly turned on or off. In addition, in the case of greater frequency, the parasitic capacitance generated by the switch tube is more obvious, and because the distance between the transmitting end and the receiving end of the micro-unit can be set to be relatively far, even if the frequency is relatively large, the parasitic capacitance generated by the switch tube cannot be transmitted to other circuit modules or devices, so that the crosstalk of the circuit can be avoided.
[0110] It is mentioned above that the distance between the transmitting end and the receiving end of the micro-unit can be set to be relatively far, which will be described in detail below.
[0111] Optionally, in some embodiments, the distance between the first transmitting end and the first receiving end included in the first micro-unit is greater than a third threshold value; the distance between the second transmitting end and the second receiving end included in the second micro-unit is greater than a fourth threshold value; and the distance between the third transmitting end and the third receiving end included in the third micro-unit is greater than a fifth threshold value.
[0112] In this embodiment of the application, the distance between the first transmitting end and the first receiving end of the first microwave unit can be greater than the third threshold. For example, if the third threshold is 1 cm, the distance between the transmitting end and the receiving end of the microwave unit can be 1.5 cm or 2 cm, etc. This application does not make a specific limitation on this.
[0113] In this embodiment of the application, the distance between the second transmitting end and the second receiving end of the second microwave unit can be greater than the fourth threshold. For example, if the fourth threshold is 0.8 cm, the distance between the second transmitting end and the second receiving end of the second microwave unit can be 1 cm or 1.5 cm, etc. This application does not make specific limitations on this.
[0114] In this embodiment, the distance between the third transmitter and the third receiver of the third microwave unit can be greater than the fifth threshold. For example, if the fifth threshold is 0.8 cm, the distance between the second transmitter and the second receiver of the second microwave unit can be 1 cm or 1.3 cm, etc. This application does not make any specific limitation on this.
[0115] In this embodiment, the distance between the first transmitting end and the first receiving end of the first microwave unit 221 may be the same as or different from the distance between the second transmitting end and the second receiving end of the second microwave unit 222 and the third transmitting end and the third receiving end of the third microwave unit 232. This application does not make specific limitations on this.
[0116] Understandably, since microwave transmission does not rely on a medium, its transmission speed is relatively fast, which can reduce signal transmission time. For a microwave unit, its transmitting end can convert control signals into microwave signals and quickly transmit the microwave signals to the receiving end. After receiving the microwave signals, the receiving end can convert the microwave signals into control signals, enabling the switching transistors to respond quickly, that is, enabling the switching transistors to be turned on or off quickly.
[0117] like Figure 9 The diagram shown is a schematic structural diagram of a charger 900 provided in another embodiment of this application. The charger 900 may include a first control unit 911, a second control unit 912, a first microwave unit 921, at least one primary-side switch 931, at least one secondary-side switch 932, and a transformer 240.

[0127] In the embodiment of the present application, the first micro unit 921 can transmit a synchronization signal between the first control unit and the second control unit, and the synchronization signal in the embodiment of the present application can be used to synchronize the first control signal and the second control signal.
[0128] The charger provided by the embodiments of the present application is fast in response speed, and the transmitting end can convert the first control signal into a first microwave signal and transmit the first microwave signal to the receiving end of the first microwave unit quickly, so that the driving speed is fast, the dead time can be accurately controlled, and the first switch tube can be turned on or turned off quickly even if the dead time of the first control signal is short, so that the crosstalk of the circuit is avoided. On the other hand, the transmission of the microwave does not rely on the medium transmission, so that the distance between the first transmitting end and the first receiving end of the first microwave unit can be set to be far, the transmission of the parasitic capacitance generated by the first switch tube can be isolated, and the crosstalk of the circuit is also avoided. Meanwhile, the first microwave unit is used for isolation communication, so that the fast bidirectional communication can be realized, the information such as driving information, state information and control information can be transmitted, the anti-interference performance is high, and the rapidity, flexibility and safety of the communication are improved.

Figure 10a When the first control unit 911 outputs a high level signal, if the pins of the N-channel MOS tube 931a and the N-channel MOS tube 931c are opened, the first control signal is transmitted to the first drive module 951, the first drive module 951 can amplify the received control signal and transmit the amplified signal to the N-channel MOS tube 931a and the N-channel MOS tube 931c. At this time, since the gate voltage of the N-channel MOS tube 931a is higher than the source voltage, and the gate voltage of the N-channel MOS tube 931c is higher than the source voltage, the N-channel MOS tube 931a and the N-channel MOS tube 931c can be turned on.
[0137] When the first control unit 911 outputs a high level signal, if the pins of the N-channel MOS tube 931a and the N-channel MOS tube 931c are opened, the first control signal is transmitted to the first drive module 951, the first drive module 951 can amplify the received control signal and transmit the amplified signal to the N-channel MOS tube 931a and the N-channel MOS tube 931c. At this time, since the gate voltage of the N-channel MOS tube 931a is higher than the source voltage, and the gate voltage of the N-channel MOS tube 931c is higher than the source voltage, the N-channel MOS tube 931a and the N-channel MOS tube 931c can be turned on.
