Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of power electronic conversion, and particularly relates to a four-switch Buck-Boost converter with soft-switching double closed-loop control. Background Art
[0002] DC-DC conversion technology applies power semiconductor devices to convert the DC bus voltage into the voltages required by various DC loads, and is widely used in national defense, aerospace, industrial radar, intelligent buildings, various laboratories and daily life.
[0003] So far, domestic and foreign power electronics researchers' research on non-isolated DC-DC converters has mainly focused on hard-switching converters such as Buck, Boost, and Buck-Boost. The switching losses of hard-switching converters increase with the increase of frequency, which limits the increase of the operating frequency of hard-switching converters, and further limits the improvement of the power density of hard-switching converters. The emergence of soft-switching technology solves the problem of high-frequency operation, and promotes the further development of converters towards miniaturization and high power density.
[0004] After the four-switch Buck-Boost converter that can realize the step-up and step-down functions and obtain the in-phase output voltage was proposed, its control strategy has become a research hotspot. In the initial stage of research, the hard-switching control strategy was mainly used. At first, the Buck-Boost control strategy was adopted, and its advantage compared with the traditional Buck-Boost is that it can realize the in-phase of the input and output voltages, which is called single-mode control. This control strategy has low efficiency; subsequently, according to the relationship between the input voltage and the output voltage, the Buck control strategy and the Boost control strategy were respectively proposed, but when the input voltage and the output voltage are relatively close, there is a problem of repeated switching of the control strategy; the three-mode control solves this problem. When the input and output voltages are relatively close, the Buck-Boost control strategy is adopted to realize the smooth switching between control modes, and compared with the single-mode control, the local efficiency is improved.
[0005] To further improve the efficiency, a soft-switching control strategy for a four-switch Buck-Boost converter with the inductor current as the control object was proposed. This control strategy includes four working modes. By adjusting the duration of each mode, step-up and step-down control can be realized, and at the same time, soft-switching of all switching tubes can be realized. This mode involves complex calculations, and usually the look-up table method is used to adjust the duty cycle of each mode according to the changes of the input voltage, output voltage and output current. However, when the input voltage range is wide, the output voltage is adjustable and the load current is large, the look-up table method requires a large amount of memory, and the transient response is slow. At the same time, there is a risk of poor consistency of the converter characteristics. Summary of the Invention

[0040] The following further describes in detail a four-switch Buck-Boost converter with soft-switching double closed-loop control proposed by the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. According to the following description, the advantages and features of the present invention will be clearer. It should be noted that the drawings are all in a very simplified form and use non-precise scales, only for the purpose of conveniently and clearly assisting in explaining the purpose of the embodiments of the present invention.
[0041] A four-switch Buck-Boost converter with soft-switching double closed-loop control provided by the present invention adopts two-stage regulation of the output voltage. The conduction time calculator calculates the conduction times t1 and t2 of the power switch tubes according to the sampled value of the input voltage, the set value of the output voltage, and the sampled value of the output current, so as to realize the rough adjustment of the output voltage. The sampled signal of the output voltage and the reference voltage are second-order compensated to obtain Δt, and according to the buck-boost mode, Δt is superimposed on t1 or t2, thereby realizing the precise adjustment of the output voltage and improving the output voltage accuracy and transient characteristics at the same time.
[0042] Combined withFigure 1 As shown in the figure, a four-switch Buck-Boost converter with soft-switching double closed-loop control of the present invention is composed of an input DC power supply unit 1, a first Buck arm 2, an energy storage unit 3, a second Boost arm 4, an output filter capacitor 5, and an output DC load 6 connected in sequence; this converter can achieve step-up conversion or step-down conversion of DC voltage, and output a DC voltage with the same polarity as the input voltage, which is suitable for DC voltage conversion occasions where the input voltage varies within a wide range. The four-switch Buck-Boost converter with soft-switching double closed-loop control further includes a soft-switching double closed-loop control loop, which is composed of an input voltage sampling unit 7, an output voltage sampling unit 8, an inductor current sampling unit 9, an output current sampling unit 10, a loop compensation unit 11, a conduction time calculation unit 12, a control strategy logic unit 13, a PWM unit 14, and a half-bridge drive unit 15 connected in sequence; when the load current suddenly changes, the conduction time calculation unit 12 determines the working mode according to the input voltage sampling value, the output voltage setting value, and the output current sampling value as the gating signal of the selector, and at the same time calculates the new t1 and t2 to achieve rough adjustment of the output voltage; the loop compensation unit 11 further adjusts based on the error value between the input voltage sampling value and the reference voltage, so that the output voltage approaches the target voltage, realizing fine adjustment of the output voltage, thereby realizing the DC voltage conversion function with high output voltage accuracy and good transient characteristics.
[0043] As Figure 2 shown, the rising-edge dead time and the falling-edge dead time are adjusted by Figure 2 the values of resistors R17, R18 and capacitors C4, C5 in
[0044] When the input terminal IN jumps from low level to high level, the switch tube M2 conducts rapidly. The voltage at one end of the capacitor C5 is fixed, and the voltage at the other end (i.e., point B) jumps rapidly to high level, making the output terminal OUT2 jump rapidly to low level. The input terminal IN charges the capacitor C5 through the resistor R18, and the voltage of the capacitor C5 rises slowly. When the voltage of the capacitor C5 rises to a high level determined by the inverter NOT2, the output terminal OUT1 jumps to high level. Thus, when the input terminal IN jumps upward, the output terminal OUT2 jumps rapidly to low level, and the output terminal OUT1 jumps to high level after the voltage of the capacitor C5 rises to a high level, obtaining the rising-edge dead time tdead1.
[0045] When the input terminal IN jumps from a high level to a low level, the switching transistor M1 conducts rapidly, and the capacitor C5 discharges rapidly through the switching transistor M1. The voltage of the capacitor C5 drops rapidly to a low level, causing the output terminal OUT1 to jump rapidly to a low level. The capacitor C4 discharges slowly through the resistor R17, and the voltage of the capacitor C4 drops slowly. When the voltage drops to a level where the inverter NOT4 determines it to be low, the output terminal OUT2 jumps to a high level. Thus, when the input terminal IN jumps downward, the output terminal OUT1 jumps rapidly to a low level, and the output terminal OUT2 jumps to a high level after the voltage of the capacitor C4 drops to a low level, obtaining the falling-edge dead time tdead2.
[0046] As Figure 3 and Figure 4 To illustrate the soft-switching condition, the valley value of the inductor current is -Izvs. Izvs needs to ensure that the junction capacitance of the power switching transistor is charged and discharged within the dead time, so as to achieve soft switching of the power switching transistor. The relationship between Izvs, the dead time tdead, the junction capacitance Cds of the power switching transistor, the input voltage Vin, and the output voltage Vo needs to satisfy Equation 1:
[0047]
[0048] Combined with Figure 3 To illustrate the inductor current waveform when Vo ≤ Vin, at the beginning of the switching period, the inductor current starts to rise from -Izvs, and the slope satisfies Equation (2). When it rises to Izvs, t1 ends, so as to meet the minimum effective value of the inductor current to reduce the overall conduction loss. After t1 ends, the inductor current continues to rise, and the slope satisfies Equation (3) until t2 ends. When t3 starts, the inductor current starts to decline, and the slope satisfies Equation (4) until it drops to -Izvs and t3 ends. The inductor current remains at -Izvs until the next switching period starts.
[0049]
[0050]
[0051]
[0052] t1 and t2 are calculated by the conduction time calculator, where t1 satisfies Equation (5):
[0053]
[0054] Taking t2 as the independent variable, t3 and t4 satisfy Equations (6) and (7) according to the relationship among t2, Vo, and Vin:
[0055]
[0056] t4(t2,V o, V in ) = T s -t1(V in ) - t2 - t3(t2, V o , V in ) (7)
[0057] The output current Io is a function of t2, the output voltage Vo, and the input voltage Vin. The conduction time calculator needs to calculate the value of t2 according to Equation (8) based on the input voltage, output voltage, and output current.
[0058]
[0059] Combined with the attached Figure 4 Explain the inductor current waveform when Vo > Vin. At the start of the switching period, the inductor current starts to rise from -Izvs with a slope satisfying Equation (2) until the end of t1. At the start of t2, the inductor current starts to fall with a slope satisfying Equation (3) and ends at Izvs when t2 ends. At the start of t3, the inductor current continues to fall with a slope satisfying Equation (4) and ends at -Izvs when t3 ends. At the start of t4, the inductor current maintains -Izvs until the start of the next switching period.
[0060] Among them, t3 satisfies Equation (9):
[0061]
[0062] t1 and t2 are calculated by the conduction time calculator. Taking t1 as the independent variable, then t2 and t4 satisfy Equations (10) and (11) with respect to t1, Vo, and Vin:
[0063]
[0064] t4(t1, V o , V in ) = T s -t1 - t2(t1, V o , V in ) - t3(V o ) (11)
[0065] The output current Io is a function of t1, the output voltage, and the input voltage. The calculator needs to calculate the value of t1 according to Equation (4) based on the input voltage, output voltage, and output current.
[0066]
[0067] Combined with Figure 5This is a comparison of the transient characteristics of the present invention and the prior art when the load current changes suddenly. The target output voltage is set to 12V, and the load current changes suddenly from 10A to 12A at 6ms. In State 1, due to the limitation of the memory capacity, there are certain accuracy problems with the prior art look-up table method, and there is a static error of 0.1V. The static error of the present invention is less than 5mV. When the load changes suddenly, both the look-up table method and the present invention adjust the values of t1 and t2 simultaneously. However, the look-up table method reaches a new steady-state value of 11.85V after 0.51μs, with a static error of 0.15V. After the loop compensation unit 11 in the present invention monitors the decrease in the output voltage, it quickly increases the value of t2, so as to reach a new steady-state value of 11.98V after 0.18μs, and the static error is only 0.02V.
[0068] The above description is only a description of the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and does not limit the scope of the present invention in any way. Any changes and modifications made by those of ordinary skill in the art of the present invention based on the above disclosure shall fall within the scope of protection of the claims.
