[0026] A timing synchronization control circuit for preventing current backflow in isolated DC-DC converters solves the problem of current backflow under synchronous rectification mode control. Utilizing the characteristics of a PWM control chip during normal operation, where the CLOCK signal leads the primary-side PWM signal in each cycle, and the CLOCK signal is generated before the primary-side PWM signal during power-on and disappears after the primary-side PWM signal during power-off, the circuit controls the secondary-side drive signal by detecting the presence of a primary-side drive signal cycle by cycle. This achieves the effect of simultaneous power-on and power-off of both the primary and secondary sides, thereby suppressing current backflow from the load side to the secondary-side MOSFET and improving the stability and reliability of the aerospace secondary power supply. The specific circuit structure is as follows:
[0027] It includes a drive signal detection circuit K1, a self-locking circuit K2, and a drive control circuit K3, wherein:
[0028] The drive control circuit K3 includes a primary-side PWM control chip and a secondary-side drive chip. The drive signal detection circuit K1 controls the level signal state of its output terminal based on the primary-side drive signal state output by the primary-side PWM control chip in each cycle. The self-locking circuit K2 controls the level state of its output terminal based on the level state of the output terminal of the drive signal detection circuit K1 through its own switching control. The drive control circuit K3 controls the output of the secondary-side drive signal based on the level state of the output of the self-locking circuit K2 through the switching control of the secondary-side drive chip, thus achieving simultaneous output control of the primary-side drive signal and the secondary-side drive signal.
[0029] The drive signal detection circuit K1 includes a transistor Q1, resistors R1, R2, R3, and R4. Resistors R1 and R2 are connected in parallel, with one end connected to the PWM1 and PWM2 terminals of the primary-side PWM control chip and the other end connected to the base of transistor Q1. One end of resistor R4 is connected to the CLOCK pin of the primary-side PWM control chip and the other end is connected to the collector of transistor Q1. One end of resistor R3 is connected to the emitter of transistor Q1 and the other end is connected to the base of transistor Q1.
[0030] The self-locking circuit K2 includes resistors R5, R6, R7, R8, R9, and R... 10 Resistance R 11 Transistors Q2 and Q3, diode D1, resistors R5 and R6 are connected in series with the emitter and collector of transistor Q2, with one end connected to a +5V power supply and the other end grounded. Resistors R7 and R8 are connected in series with the emitter and collector of transistor Q3, with one end connected to a +5V power supply and the other end grounded. Resistors R9 and R... 10 Resistance R 11 The transistors are connected in series, with one end connected to a +5V power supply and the other end grounded. The base of transistor Q2 is connected to the junction of resistors R7 and R8, and the base of transistor Q3 is connected to the junction of resistors R5 and R6. The anode of diode D1 is connected to resistors R9 and R1. 10 The cathode of transistor Q2 is connected to the base of transistor Q2, and the collector of transistor Q1 is connected to the base of transistor Q3.
[0031] In the drive signal detection circuit K1, the collector connection point C1 of R4 and Q1 is used as the output terminal. When the primary drive signal disappears, the level of C1 is high, and when the primary drive signal is normal, the level of C1 is low.
[0032] In the self-locking circuit K2, C1 is connected to the junction of R5, R6, and Q3, serving as the input terminal of the self-locking circuit. Resistor R... 10 Resistance R 11 The connection point C2 is used as the output terminal. When C1 is in a high-level state, the primary-side drive signal disappears, and the level of C2 is clamped to a low-level state until the primary-side drive signal is generated. When C1 is in a low-level state, the primary-side drive signal is normal, and the level of C2 is clamped to a high-level state.
[0033] In the drive control circuit K3, C2 is connected to the control pin of the secondary drive chip. The control pin controls the switching of the secondary drive signal according to the level state of C2. When the level state of C2 is high, the primary drive signal is normal and the secondary drive chip normally sends out the secondary drive signal. When the level state of C2 is low, the primary drive signal disappears and the secondary drive chip stops sending out the secondary drive signal, so as to realize the simultaneous output control of the primary drive signal and the secondary drive signal.
[0034] The primary-side PWM control chip uses the UC1825ALQMLV chip, the secondary-side driver chip uses the UC1715W-SP chip, and the control pin is the ENBL pin of the UC1715W-SP chip.
[0035] The self-locking circuit K2 is powered by 5V. When the drive control circuit K3 is activated, the self-locking circuit K2 clamps the voltage at C2 to a low level until the primary drive signal is output normally. When the drive control circuit K3 stops, the self-locking circuit K2 clamps the voltage at C2 to a low level.
[0036] Specifically, due to the limited range of components available for use in the aerospace secondary power supply field and the high reliability requirements of components in the extremely complex application environment of space, commonly used anti-current backflow PWM control chips cannot be applied to the aerospace secondary power supply field. The circuit structure proposed in this invention utilizes the working characteristics of the PWM control chip, where the CLOCK signal phase leads the primary-side PWM signal in each cycle during normal operation, and the CLOCK signal is generated before the primary-side PWM signal during power-on and disappears after the primary-side PWM signal during power-off. By detecting whether there is a primary-side drive signal output cycle by cycle, the switching of the secondary-side drive signal is controlled, realizing the logic control function of simultaneous on and off of the primary and secondary-side drives, thereby suppressing the backflow of energy from the load-side capacitor array to the secondary-side MOSFET during power-on and power-off.
[0037] The following is a further explanation based on specific embodiments:
[0038] In the current embodiment, the circuit is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the first part consists of R1, R2, R3, R4, and Q1, as follows: Figure 1 As shown in K1; the second part consists of R5, R6, R7, R8, R9, R 10 R 11 It consists of Q2, Q3 and D1, such as Figure 1 As shown in K2; the third part consists of a primary-side PWM control chip and a secondary-side driver chip, as shown in... Figure 1 As shown in K3;
[0039] When the PWM control chip is working normally, its CLOCK signal leads the primary PWM signal in each cycle. During power-on, the CLOCK signal is generated before the primary PWM signal, and during power-off, the CLOCK signal disappears after the primary PWM signal. Therefore, when the PWM control chip is working normally, transistor Q1 always clamps the voltage at point C1 to zero, preventing the latching circuit in K2 from starting, and the voltage at point C2 remains high. During power-on, because the CLOCK signal is generated before the primary PWM signal, it opens the latching circuit in K2 before the PWM signal is generated. At this time, the voltage at point C2 is clamped to a low level until the primary PWM signal is generated. The timing relationship is as follows: Figure 2 As shown. During the shutdown process, since the CLOCK signal disappears later than the primary-side PWM signal, once the primary-side PWM signal stops emitting waves, the CLOCK signal will open the self-locking circuit in K2. At this time, the voltage at point C2 is clamped to a low level. The timing relationship is as follows. Figure 3 As shown.
[0040] As the above analysis shows, during the entire operation cycle of the PWM control chip, when the primary-side PWM signal is generated normally, the voltage at point C2 in K2 is at a high level; if the primary-side PWM signal cannot be generated, the voltage at point C2 in K2 is at a low level. Therefore, the secondary-side driver chip in K3 can determine whether the primary-side PWM signal is generated normally based on the voltage level of C2, thereby controlling the turn-on and turn-off of the secondary-side MOSFET to achieve the effect of simultaneous on / off operation of the primary and secondary sides.
[0041] The circuit was simulated and verified using Saber software. The main power topology employs a half-bridge full-wave rectifier circuit, with a UC1825 chip for primary-side control and a UC1715 chip for secondary-side control. The self-locking circuit is supplied with 5V. Figure 4 As shown, during the power-on process, the CLOCK signal is generated before the primary-side PWM signal. Due to the self-locking circuit, the C2 voltage is clamped to a low level until the primary-side PWM signal is emitted normally. Figure 5 As shown, during the shutdown process, the CLOCK signal disappears later than the primary side PWM signal. Due to the action of the self-locking circuit, the C2 voltage is clamped to a low level.
[0042] The synchronous timing control circuit was physically verified. The main power topology uses a half-bridge full-wave rectifier circuit, the primary-side control chip is a UC1825 chip, the secondary-side control chip is a UC1715 chip, and the self-locking circuit is supplied with 5V. Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, PWM1 corresponds to Figure 1 The drive signal for MOSFET M1, CLOCK corresponds to Figure 1The CLOCK signal in the code, C corresponds to Figure 1 The voltage at point C2 in the middle, corresponding to PWM4. Figure 1 During power-on, the CLOCK signal for the MOSFET M4 is generated before the primary-side PWM signal. Due to the self-locking circuit, the voltage C2 is clamped low until the primary-side PWM signal is emitted normally. During power-off, the CLOCK signal disappears after the primary-side PWM signal. Again, due to the self-locking circuit, the voltage C2 is clamped low.
[0043] In addition, with a large capacitor array at the load end, power-on and power-off tests were performed on the output voltage and output current of the main power circuit. With residual voltage in the capacitor array upon power-on, the output voltage waveform is as follows: Figure 8 As shown in the figure, the output voltage maintains a monotonically increasing trend. When the output is powered off under light load with a capacitor array at the output, the output current waveform is as follows. Figure 9 As shown in the figure, the output current slowly decreases to zero, and no reverse current flow occurs.
