Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of switching power supply technology, in particular to a push-pull converter and a driving method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] The push-pull topology is a common topology, and its structural diagram is shown in Figure 1 . Because the transformer T works in four quadrants, the power density of the transformer T is higher. The peripheral components are less, so the cost is lower. These characteristics make it widely used in various isolation occasions such as industrial and automotive. However, because the transformer T and the switching tubes Q1 and Q2 (usually MOSFET) work in a symmetrical state, the drive circuit has high requirements in dead time, driving speed, etc. The existence of the leakage inductance of the transformer T makes the switching tube bear a voltage spike in addition to the 2*Vin voltage stress of the topology itself when it is turned off. At the same time, this topology belongs to the hard switching category, so the switching loss of the switching tubes Q1 and Q2 also needs to be carefully considered. These factors that have a greater relationship with the performance of the push-pull converter are greatly related to the drive circuit of the power tube. A reasonable drive circuit can balance the efficiency, voltage stress, etc., so that the overall performance is optimized.

[0003] A commonly used push-pull MOSFET drive circuit structure is shown in Figure 2 . The circuit uses the structure of upper PMOS and lower NMOS. When the PWM output is high, the NMOS is turned on, the gate voltage of the switching tube Q1 is pulled to low through the drive resistor Rg, and the driven switching tube Q1 is not turned on. When the PWM output is low, the PMOS is turned on, the gate of the switching tube Q1 is pulled high to Vg through the drive resistor Rg, and the driven switching tube Q1 is turned on. Some drive circuits replace NMOS and PMOS with NPN and PNP triodes, and the working principle is similar. Some special applications require different opening and closing speeds, so a resistance and a diode are connected in parallel on the drive resistor Rg based on Figure 2 to achieve separate control of the opening and closing speeds, and the principle is similar.

[0004] The drive requirements of the push-pull converter for the switching tubes Q1 and Q2 are as follows: 1. During the opening stage of the switching tube Q1 or Q2, the voltage and current overlap are as low as possible without causing EMI problems, so as to reduce the switching loss; 2. During the off stage of the switching tube Q1 or Q2, the load energy in the magnetic core is discharged through the secondary diode, so only the magnetizing current produces a voltage spike under the action of the leakage inductance, and therefore the off speed cannot be too fast; 3. During the off stage of the switching tube Q1 or Q2, the conversion time generated by the non-load current transmission is as low as possible, so as to improve the conversion efficiency.

[0005] The driving on and off processes of the switch tube Q1 or Q2 are shown as Figure 3 Figure 3 In terms of the driving requirements, the specific requirements are: 1, the rate in the on stage is moderate, both the efficiency and the EMI are taken into account; 2, the t5 in the off stage is reduced as much as possible, the t6 and t7 are increased as much as possible, and the t8 stage is reduced as much as possible.

[0006] Therefore, the general push-pull type MOS driving circuit is not the most ideal as the power MOSFET driving circuit of the push-pull converter, and it is urgent to optimize the existing push-pull type MOS driving circuit and improve the performance of the push-pull converter such as the efficiency, the voltage stress, the EMI, the load capacity and the like.

In contrast, when an element is referred to as being "directly coupled to" or "directly connected to" another element, it means that there are no intervening elements therebetween.

[0059] The present application will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0060] As shown in Figure 4 , the push-pull converter comprises a transformer T, a first switch Q1 and a second switch Q2 connected to the primary side of the transformer T, a driving circuit 10, a detection circuit 20, a dead time control circuit 30, and a logic control circuit 40. The first switch Q1 and the second switch Q2 have at least two off phases in the off process.

[0061] The first switch tube Q1 and the second switch tube Q2 in the embodiment are N-channel MOS tubes, two of the driving circuit 10, the detection circuit 20 and the dead time control circuit 30 are provided to form two groups to control the first switch tube Q1 and the second switch tube Q2 respectively, and one of the logic control circuit 40 is provided to form a total control unit; in other embodiments, two of the logic control circuit 40 can also be provided correspondingly, or one of the driving circuit 10, the detection circuit 20, the dead time control circuit 30 and the logic control circuit 40 is provided, and the first switch tube Q1 and the second switch tube Q2 can be P-channel MOS tubes or triodes.

[0062] The first switch tube Q1 and the second switch tube Q2 correspond to a group of driving circuit 10, detection circuit 20 and dead time control circuit 30 respectively. The driving circuit 10 and the detection circuit 20 of one group are connected with the gate of the first switch tube Q1 and the logic control circuit 40, and the dead time control circuit 30 is connected with the detection circuit 20 and the logic control circuit 40; the driving circuit 10 and the detection circuit 20 of the other group are connected with the gate of the second switch tube Q2 and the logic control circuit 40, and the dead time control circuit 30 is connected with the detection circuit 20 and the logic control circuit 40.

[0063] Since the first switch tube Q1 and the second switch tube Q2 are symmetrically driven, the first switch tube Q1 is taken as an example to be described in detail below in combination with the drawings.

[0064] In combination with Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, the driving circuit 10 connected with the gate of the first switch tube Q1 is used to output voltage signals of different sizes to accelerate the opening speed of the first switch tube Q1 in the opening process and control the turn-off speed of the first switch tube Q1 in the turn-off stage. In the embodiment, the turn-off stage includes a first turn-off stage , a second turn-off stage and a third turn-off stage .

[0065] As Figure 6 shown, the driving circuit 10 includes a plurality of connected MOS tubes, at least part of the MOS tubes have different conduction resistances, and different MOS tubes are controlled to output voltage signals of different sizes .

[0066] Specifically, the driving circuit 10 includes a first MOS tube M1, a second MOS tube M2, a third MOS tube M3 and a fourth MOS tube M4. The source of the first MOS tube M1 is connected with a power supply voltage Vdd, and the drains of the first MOS tube M1, the second MOS tube M2, the third MOS tube M3 and the fourth MOS tube M4 are connected and output voltage signals The gate of the first switching transistor Q1 is connected to the ground. The sources of the second MOSFET M2, the third MOSFET M3, and the fourth MOSFET M4 are connected to ground.

[0067] The gate of the first MOSFET M1 is used to receive the first control signal. The gate of the second MOSFET M2 is used to receive the second control signal. The gate of the third MOSFET M3 is used to receive the third control signal. The gate of the fourth MOSFET M4 is used to receive the fourth control signal. First control signal Second control signal Third control signal and the fourth control signal All are generated by the logic control circuit 40.

[0068] In this embodiment, the on-resistance of the first MOSFET M1 is relatively small, typically around 500 ohms. The on-resistance of the second MOSFET M2 is 0.8 to 1.2 times that of the first MOSFET M1, or the on-resistance of the fourth MOSFET M4 is 0.8 to 1.2 times that of the first MOSFET M1, or the on-resistances of both the second and fourth MOSFETs are 0.8 to 1.2 times that of the first MOSFET. Preferably, the on-resistances of the second MOSFET M2 and the fourth MOSFET M4 can be set to be equal to the on-resistance of the first MOSFET M1. The on-resistance of the third MOSFET M3 is 4.5 to 5.5 times that of the first MOSFET M1. Preferably, the on-resistance of the third MOSFET M3 can be set to 5 times that of the first MOSFET M1. The on-resistance of the third MOSFET M3 is 13 to 15 times that of the second MOSFET M2 and / or the on-resistance of the third MOSFET M3 is 13 to 15 times that of the fourth MOSFET M4. Preferably, the on-resistance of the third MOSFET M3 is set to 10 times that of the second MOSFET M2 and / or the on-resistance of the third MOSFET M3 is set to 10 times that of the fourth MOSFET M4.

[0069] like Figure 6 As shown, since the first MOSFET M1 is a P-channel MOSFET, and the second MOSFET M2, the third MOSFET M3, and the fourth MOSFET M4 are N-channel MOSFETs, the first control signal should be... When the signal is low, the first MOSFET M1 is turned on, and the second control signal... Third control signal and the fourth control signal When the signal is high, the corresponding second MOSFET M2, third MOSFET M3, and fourth MOSFET M4 are turned on, but when... Figure 7 For ease of illustration, regardless of whether the first MOSFET M1, the second MOSFET M2, the third MOSFET M3, and the fourth MOSFET M4 are N-channel or P-channel MOSFETs, they are all uniformly assumed to be connected to the first control signal. Second control signal Third control signal and the fourth control signal When the signal is high, the corresponding first MOSFET M1, second MOSFET M2, third MOSFET M3, and fourth MOSFET M4 are turned on. In the first control signal... Second control signal Third control signal and the fourth control signal When the signal is low, the corresponding first MOSFET M1, second MOSFET M2, third MOSFET M3 and fourth MOSFET M4 are turned off.

[0070] Through observation Figure 7 As can be seen from Drv1_Q1 to Drv4_Q1, during the turn-on phase of the first switch Q1, the small on-resistance of the first MOSFET M1 facilitates the rapid rise of the gate voltage of the first switch Q1, thus enabling it to turn on quickly and effectively reducing switching losses.

[0071] During the first turn-off phase of the first switch Q1 and the third shut-off phase The second MOSFET M2 and the fourth MOSFET M4 are turned on. Because the on-resistance of the second MOSFET M2 and the fourth MOSFET M4 is relatively small, they can respectively turn off during the first turn-off phase when the first switch Q1 is turned off. and the third shut-off phase Accelerated shutdown is performed. During the subsequent complete shutdown of the first switch Q1, the fourth MOSFET M4 also remains on until the first switch Q1 is turned on again.

[0072] During the second turn-off phase of the first switch Q1 The third MOSFET M3 is turned on. Because the on-resistance of the third MOSFET M3 is relatively large, it is turned off during the first turn-off phase. At this time, the third MOSFET M3 is turned on and remains on until the first switch Q1 is turned on again. The relatively large on-resistance of the third MOSFET M3 allows the primary current of the transformer T to be reduced during the second turn-off phase. A gradual decrease in voltage is beneficial for reducing the voltage stress on the first switching transistor Q1 and optimizing EMI.

[0073] In the embodiment, the detection circuit 20 is configured to output a corresponding detection signal when the first switch tube Q1 is at a critical point between two adjacent off stages. The critical point between two adjacent off stages is a critical point corresponding to the end of a previous off stage and the beginning of a next off stage.

[0074] As shown in Figure 6 , the detection circuit 20 includes a first off stage detection circuit 21 and a second off stage detection circuit 22.

[0075] In the embodiment, the first off stage detection circuit 21 is configured to determine whether the first off stage of the first switch tube Q1 ends according to the magnitude of the voltage signal output by the driving circuit 10 and output a first detection signal when the first off stage ends. .

[0076] As shown in Figure 8 , the first off stage detection circuit 21 includes a fifth MOS tube M5, a sixth MOS tube M6, a seventh MOS tube M7, an eighth MOS tube M8, a first inverter INV1, a second inverter INV2 and a first D flip-flop D1.

[0077] Specifically, the source of the fifth MOS tube M5 is connected to the D input end of the first D flip-flop D1 and connected to the power supply voltage Vdd. The gates of the fifth MOS tube M5, the sixth MOS tube M6 and the seventh MOS tube M7 are connected to form a first detection end receiving the voltage signal , the drains of the fifth MOS tube M5 and the sixth MOS tube M6 are connected to form an output end outputting a voltage , the source of the sixth MOS tube M6 is connected to the ground. The drain of the seventh MOS tube M7 is connected to the drain of the fifth MOS tube M5 and the input end of the first inverter INV1, the gate of the seventh MOS tube M7 is connected to the output end of the first inverter INV1, the source of the seventh MOS tube M7 is connected to the drain of the eighth MOS tube M8, and the source of the eighth MOS tube M8 is connected to the ground. The input end of the second inverter INV2 is connected to the output end of the first inverter INV1, the output end of the second inverter INV2 is connected to the CLK input end of the first D flip-flop D1, and the Q output end of the first D flip-flop D1 is configured to output the first detection signal .

[0078] In combination with Figure 8 and Figure 9 , the first reverse module composed of the fifth MOS tube M5 and the sixth MOS tube M6 is configured to reverse the voltage signal ​​The first hysteresis module is composed of the seventh MOS transistor M7 and the eighth MOS transistor M8, and the hysteresis window is obtained through the seventh MOS transistor M7 and the eighth MOS transistor. In the first off stage , the voltage signal starts to drop, and when the drop amplitude exceeds the turn-on threshold of the fifth MOS transistor M5, the voltage starts to rise. When the voltage rises to a set voltage threshold k*Vdd (0.3<k<0.9), the first inverter INV1 and the second inverter INV2 start to flip, the signal is shaped through the inverters and input into the first D flip-flop D1, and the Q output end of the first D flip-flop D1 outputs the first off stage end, the second off stage opening first detection signal . By reasonably setting the width-length ratio of the fifth MOS transistor M5 and the sixth MOS transistor M6, the threshold voltage of the first off stage switching is obtained.

[0079] In the embodiment, the second off stage detection circuit 22 is used to judge whether the first switch Q1 is in the second off stage and whether the second off stage ends according to the size of the voltage signal output by the driving circuit 10 and output the second detection signal when the second off stage ends.

[0080] Figure 10 As shown in the figure, the second off stage detection circuit 22 includes the ninth MOS transistor M9, the tenth MOS transistor M10, the eleventh MOS transistor M11, the twelfth MOS transistor M12, the third inverter INV3, the fourth inverter INV4 and the second D flip-flop D2.

[0096] In conjunction with the push-pull converter described above, this invention also discloses a driving method for the push-pull converter. This method includes driving a first switch Q1 and a second switch Q2. The first switch Q1 and the second switch Q2 have at least two turn-off phases during the turn-off process. In this embodiment, the turn-off phase includes a first turn-off phase. Second shut-off phase and the third shut-off phase Since the first switch Q1 and the second switch Q2 are driven symmetrically, that is, the methods for driving the first switch Q1 and the second switch Q2 are the same, the following detailed description will take the first switch Q1 as an example.

[0097] Combination Figure 13 and Figures 4-12 As shown, the driving method includes:

[0098] First, control the first switch Q1 during the first turn-off phase. The turn-off speed is generally increased by accelerating the first switch Q1 during the first turn-off phase. The turn-off speed. Specifically, if the first switch Q1 is an N-channel MOSFET, then the voltage signal driving the first switch Q1 is increased. The rising speed is used to accelerate the first switch Q1 during the first turn-off phase. The turn-off speed; if the first switch Q1 is a P-channel MOSFET, then increase the voltage signal driving the first switch Q1. The decreasing speed is used to accelerate the first switch Q1 during the first turn-off phase. The shutdown speed.

[0099] Then, the turn-off stage of the first switch Q1 is detected. When the first switch Q1 is at the critical point between two adjacent turn-off stages, the corresponding detection signal is acquired; the critical point between two adjacent turn-off stages is the first turn-off stage.

[0100] In particular, the voltage signal for driving the first switch Ql is detected;

[0101] The first turn-off phase and the second turn-off phase of the first switch Ql are determined from the change of the voltage signal ;

[0102] If the first turn-off phase is ended, a first detection signal is acquired which characterizes the end of the first turn-off phase ; the first detection signal is acquired by the first turn-off phase detection circuit 21.

[0104] In addition, if a detection signal is acquired, the turn-off speed of the first switch Ql in the next turn-off phase is changed.

[0105] In particular, if the first detection signal is acquired, the turn-off speed of the first switch Ql in the second turn-off phase is slowed down. If the first switch Ql is an N-channel MOSFET, the turn-off speed of the first switch Ql in the second turn-off phase is slowed down by lowering the falling speed of the voltage signal for driving the first switch Ql; if the first switch Ql is a P-channel MOSFET, the turn-off speed of the first switch Ql in the second turn-off phase is slowed down by lowering the rising speed of the voltage signal for driving the first switch Ql.

[0106] If the second detection signal is acquired, the turn-off speed of the first switch Ql in the next turn-off phase, i.e. the third turn-off phase If the first switching transistor Q1 is an N-channel MOSFET, then the voltage signal driving the first switching transistor Q1 is increased. The decreasing speed is used to accelerate the first switch Q1 in the third turn-off phase. The turn-off speed; if the first switching transistor Q1 is a P-channel MOSFET, then the voltage signal driving the first switching transistor Q1 is used to determine the turn-off speed. The rising speed is used to accelerate the first switch Q1 in the third turn-off stage. The shutdown speed.

[0107] Meanwhile, before the second switch Q2 turns on, i.e., during the second turn-off phase... End, third shutdown phase Initially, a dead time is provided for the current first switching transistor Q1, and a dead time detection signal is acquired after the dead time expires. This dead time is obtained through a delay by the dead time control circuit 30.

[0108] After acquiring the dead zone detection signal, the second switch Q2 is turned on.

[0109] The voltage signal mentioned above Provided by drive circuit 10. The first control signal is output through logic control circuit 40. The control drive circuit 10 is used to turn on the first switching transistor Q1.

[0110] The second control signal is output through the logic control circuit 40. The control drive circuit 10 accelerates the first switching transistor Q1 during the first turn-off phase. The shutdown speed.

[0111] The first detection signal is received through the logic control circuit 40. And output the third control signal via the third control signal Control drive circuit 10 changes voltage signal The size is reduced to slow down the first switch Q1 during the second turn-off phase. The shutdown speed.

[0112] The second detection signal is received through the logic control circuit 40. And output the fourth control signal via the fourth control signal Control drive circuit 10 changes voltage signal The size is adjusted to accelerate the first switch Q1 in the third turn-off phase. The shutdown speed.

[0113] The dead-zone detection signal is received through the logic control circuit 40. The control drive circuit 10 completely turns off the first switch tube Q1 and turns on the second switch tube Q2 through the drive circuit 10 corresponding to the second switch tube Q2.
