[0046] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present application clearer, the following will further describe the embodiments of the present application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0047] It should be clear that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of them. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present application.

For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to specific circumstances. In addition, in the description of the present application, unless otherwise stated, "plurality" means two or more.

The character " / " generally represents an "or" relationship between the associated objects before and after.

[0050] Figure 1 The circuit diagram of a traditional flyback power control circuit provided for the present application. As Figure 1 shown, the traditional flyback power control circuit includes a power drive loop 101, a constant current drive loop 102, and a constant voltage drive loop 103. Specifically, the power drive loop 101 includes a MOS transistor Q1 and a capacitor C1, and is coupled to the constant current drive loop 102 and the constant voltage drive loop 103 through the primary winding of the flyback transformer T; the constant current drive loop 102 includes a MOS transistor Q2, a capacitor C2, and a diode D1, and is coupled to the power drive loop 101 through the secondary winding of the flyback transformer T; the constant voltage drive loop 103 includes a capacitor C3 and a diode D2, and is coupled to the power drive loop 101 through the secondary winding of the flyback transformer T. The specific connection relationships of each device are as Figure 1as shown

[0051] When the primary winding of the flyback transformer T is excited, the secondary winding does not provide power output to the load, but only after the excitation of the primary winding is turned off, the secondary winding provides power output to the load.

[0052] In the working state, the working process of this circuit is as follows: when the MOS transistor Q1 is turned on and the diode D1 is turned off, the primary winding of the flyback transformer T is excited to store energy; when the MOS transistor Q1 is turned off, the diode D1 is turned on, and the MOS transistor Q2 is turned on, the excitation of the primary winding of the flyback transformer T is turned off, the secondary winding releases energy, the constant current drive circuit is turned on to provide a constant current for the load, the diode D2 is turned off, and the constant voltage circuit is disconnected; when the MOS transistor Q2 is turned off, the constant current drive circuit is disconnected, the diode D2 is turned on, the secondary winding continues to release energy, the constant voltage drive circuit is turned on to provide a constant voltage for the load.

[0053] That is, within one cycle, the transformer stores energy once, and the constant current drive circuit and the constant voltage drive circuit are alternately turned on to release energy. Therefore, during the conduction of the constant current drive circuit, the energy of the transformer must not be completely released, resulting in the circuit working in a deep continuous state, with severe voltage and current oscillations in the entire circuit, causing the temperature rise and stress of power devices such as transformers, MOS transistors, and diodes to exceed the standard, thus shortening the service life of the power supply.

[0054] Based on the defects of traditional power supplies, the embodiments of the present application provide a new power supply control circuit, an electronic device applying this power supply control circuit, and a power supply circuit control method applicable to this power supply control circuit. It is expected to change the circuit structure and circuit control method, change the circuit working timing, make the circuit work in a discontinuous state, reduce the voltage and current oscillations in the circuit, and avoid overheating of power devices.

[0055] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of an application scenario provided by the present application. As Figure 2 shown, the display device 201 is connected to the mains power through the power adapter 202. The power adapter 202 uses the power supply control circuit provided by the present application. Based on this circuit, the mains power is converted to provide a constant voltage and / or a constant current for the display device 201 to enable the display device 201 to work properly.

[0056] The specific implementation method can refer to the following embodiments.

[0057] Figure 3Schematic diagram of the circuit structure of a power control circuit provided by an embodiment of the present application, used to supply power to a load 300. The circuit includes: a power supply loop 301, a constant current loop 302, a constant voltage loop 303, and a control circuit 304; the power supply loop 301 is respectively coupled and connected to the constant current loop 302 and the constant voltage loop 303, and is used to provide energy for the constant current loop 302 and the constant voltage loop 303; the first output terminal of the control circuit 304 is connected to the power supply loop 301, and is used to control the power supply loop 301 to conduct and turn off periodically; the second output terminal of the control circuit 304 is connected to the constant current loop 302, and is used to control the constant current loop 302 to conduct when a current demand signal is detected and the power supply loop 301 is detected to be disconnected in each cycle, so as to provide a constant current for the load; the third output terminal of the control circuit 304 is connected to the constant voltage loop 303, and is used to control the constant voltage loop 303 to conduct when a voltage demand signal is detected and the power supply loop 301 is detected to be disconnected in each cycle, so as to provide a constant voltage for the load 300.

[0058] The control circuit 304 controls the power supply loop 301 to conduct and turn off periodically through the first output terminal. That is, in each cycle, the power supply loop 301 has a conduction time and a turn-off time. When the power supply loop 301 conducts, energy is stored, and the constant current loop 302 and the constant voltage loop 303 are disconnected; when the power supply loop 301 is disconnected, according to the different detected demand signals, one of the constant current loop 302 and the constant voltage loop 303 is selectively conducted, and the power supply loop 301 provides energy for the conducted loop to provide the required constant voltage or constant current for the load 300. That is to say, within one cycle, the power supply loop stores energy once, and then releases energy once through the constant voltage loop or the constant current loop. Based on this circuit, only by adjusting the conduction time and turn-off time of the power supply loop 301, the energy stored within one cycle can be completely released, and it works in an intermittent state, thus avoiding problems such as overheating of power devices and overstress caused by severe voltage and current oscillations in the circuit.

[0059] Figure 4 Another circuit diagram of a power control circuit provided by an embodiment of the present application. As Figure 4 shown, the specific structure of the constant current loop 302 may include: the first secondary winding of the transformer T4, the first switching tube Q41, and the first energy storage capacitor C41. Among them, the first output terminal of the first secondary winding is connected to the second output terminal of the first secondary winding via the first energy storage capacitor C41, the input terminal of the first switching tube Q41, and the output terminal of the first switching tube Q41; the first energy storage capacitor C41 is connected in parallel with the load 300 to provide a constant current for the load 300; the second output terminal of the control circuit is connected to the enable terminal of the first switching tube Q41, and is used to control the conduction or cut-off of the first switching tube Q41, and further control the conduction or disconnection of the constant current loop.

[0060] The specific structure of the constant voltage circuit 303 may include: the second secondary winding of the transformer T4, the second switching transistor Q42, and the second energy storage capacitor C42. Among them, the first output terminal of the second secondary winding is connected to the second output terminal of the second secondary winding via the input terminal of the second switching transistor Q42, the output terminal of the second switching transistor Q42, and the second energy storage capacitor C42; the second energy storage capacitor C42 is connected in parallel with the load 300 to provide a constant voltage for the load 300; the third output terminal of the control circuit is connected to the enable terminal of the second switching transistor Q42 to control the conduction or cut-off of the second switching transistor Q42, and further control the conduction or disconnection of the constant voltage circuit.

[0061] The specific structure of the power supply circuit 301 may include: the primary winding of the transformer T4, the third switching transistor Q43, and the third energy storage capacitor C43; the first output terminal of the primary winding is connected to the second output terminal of the primary winding via the third energy storage capacitor C43, the input terminal of the third switching transistor Q43, and the output terminal of the third switching transistor Q43; the first output terminal of the control circuit is connected to the enable terminal of the third switching transistor Q43 to control the conduction or cut-off of the third switching transistor Q43, and further control the conduction or disconnection of the power supply circuit.

[0062] By outputting a PWM control signal, the control circuit can control the conduction and cut-off of the switching transistors in each circuit, and further control the on and off of each circuit.

[0063] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned first switching transistor Q41 may be a constant current MOS transistor; the enable terminal of the first switching transistor Q41 is the gate of the constant current MOS transistor; the input terminal of the first switching transistor Q41 is the source of the constant current MOS transistor; the output terminal of the first switching transistor Q41 is the drain of the constant current MOS transistor. The above-mentioned second switching transistor Q42 is a constant voltage MOS transistor; the enable terminal of the second switching transistor Q42 is the gate of the constant voltage MOS transistor; the input terminal of the second switching transistor Q42 is the drain of the constant voltage MOS transistor; the output terminal of the second switching transistor Q42 is the source of the constant voltage MOS transistor. The above-mentioned third switching transistor Q43 is a primary side MOS transistor; the enable terminal of the third switching transistor Q43 is the gate of the primary side MOS transistor; the input terminal of the third switching transistor Q43 is the drain of the primary side MOS transistor; the output terminal of the third switching transistor Q43 is the source of the primary side MOS transistor.

[0064] It should be noted that the above-mentioned first switching transistor Q41, second switching transistor Q42, and third switching transistor Q43 can all be MOS transistors. Here, they are distinguished as "constant current MOS transistor", "constant voltage MOS transistor", and "primary side MOS transistor" according to the functions of the circuits where they are located, and this does not limit the models of the MOS transistors.

[0065] Based on the above embodiments, the control loop is specifically configured to: at the beginning of each cycle, control the primary MOS to conduct, and at the same time control the constant-current MOS transistor or the constant-voltage MOS transistor to turn off; after the conduction time of the primary MOS ends, control the primary MOS transistor to turn off, and at the same time control the constant-current MOS transistor or the constant-voltage MOS transistor to conduct.

[0066] In some embodiments, based on the designed circuit structure, the duty cycle of the primary MOS transistor can be calculated through simulation tests, and then the conduction time of the primary MOS transistor can be preset in advance.

[0067] In some other embodiments, a feedback loop can also be added to the circuit, and the controller adjusts the duty cycle of the primary MOS transistor.

[0068] Specifically, a sampling circuit can be added to sample the current of the constant-current loop or the voltage of the constant-voltage loop. The sampled current value or the sampled voltage value is compared with a preset reference value to determine whether the sampled current value reaches the desired constant current or whether the sampled voltage value reaches the desired constant voltage value; when the sampled current value does not reach the desired constant current or the sampled voltage value does not reach the desired constant voltage, the comparison result can be fed back to the controller, and the controller adjusts the duty cycle of the primary MOS transistor according to the comparison result, that is, adjusts the conduction time of the primary MOS transistor, so as to adjust the current of the constant-current loop or the voltage of the constant-voltage loop until the sampled current value reaches the desired constant current or the sampled voltage value reaches the desired constant voltage value. After that, the circuit enters a stable state and will continuously and stably output a constant current and / or a constant voltage.

[0069] In some embodiments, the sampling circuit can be implemented by adding a sampling component in the constant-current loop or the constant-voltage loop. Specifically, the above constant-current loop may further include: a first sampling component for sampling the current of the constant-current loop; the constant-voltage loop may further include: a second sampling component for sampling the voltage of the constant-voltage loop. Correspondingly, the controller is specifically configured to judge whether the conduction time of the primary MOS ends according to the sampled current or the sampled voltage.

[0070] Among them, the first sampling component and the second sampling component may specifically be resistors. The sampling resistor is connected in series in the constant-current loop, and the sampled current value can be calculated by combining the voltage across the sampling resistor and the resistance value; the sampling resistor is connected in parallel in the constant-voltage loop, and the sampled voltage value can be directly obtained by sampling the voltage across the resistor.

[0071] In a specific embodiment, the primary MOS transistor conducts at a fixed frequency. In each cycle, the working process of the circuit is as follows:

[0072] At the beginning of a cycle, the control circuit controls the primary MOS transistor to conduct. At this time, the constant-current MOS transistor is turned off, and the constant-voltage MOS transistor is turned off. Both the constant-current loop and the constant-voltage loop are disconnected, and the primary winding stores energy.

[0073] When the control circuit detects that the conduction time of the primary MOS transistor ends, it controls the primary MOS transistor to turn off. Since the inductor current cannot change suddenly, in order to maintain the current direction of the primary transformer unchanged, the voltage difference between the upper and lower ends of the primary winding reverses, and the voltage of the secondary winding also reverses. After detecting the voltage change of the secondary winding, it is determined that the primary MOS transistor is indeed turned off. If the constant-current demand signal of the system is detected at this time, the constant-current MOS transistor is driven to conduct, and the energy stored in the primary winding is released. In the stable state, a constant current is output through the constant-current loop, and at the same time, the capacitor in the constant-current loop stores energy until the end of the cycle and the next cycle begins.

[0074] At the beginning of a new cycle, the control circuit controls the primary MOS transistor to conduct, and the polarity of the primary winding changes again. At this time, the constant-voltage MOS transistor is still in the off state. After the control circuit detects the change in the polarity voltage of the secondary winding, it determines that the primary MOS transistor is indeed conducting, and then controls the constant-current MOS transistor to turn off. Both the constant-current loop and the constant-voltage loop are disconnected, and the primary winding stores energy; at this time, the capacitor in the constant-current loop releases energy to continue to output a constant current;

[0075] When the control circuit detects that the conduction time of the primary MOS transistor ends, it controls the primary MOS transistor to turn off. After detecting the voltage change of the secondary winding, it is determined that the primary MOS transistor is indeed turned off. If the constant-voltage demand signal of the system is detected at this time, the constant-voltage MOS transistor is driven to conduct, and the energy stored in the primary winding is released. In the stable state, a constant voltage is output through the constant-voltage loop, and at the same time, the capacitor in the constant-voltage loop stores energy until the end of the cycle and the next cycle begins.

[0076] The above embodiments are only one implementation method. In practical applications, for a certain type of electronic device, the constant-voltage or constant-current demand of the components therein should be stable. The constant-current demand signal and the voltage demand signal can be set at the initial stage of circuit design according to fixed requirements. For example, the constant-voltage loop conducts in one cycle when the primary MOS transistor conducts, and the constant-current loop conducts in the next cycle, and so on, that is, the constant-voltage MOS transistor and the constant-current MOS transistor are controlled to conduct alternately, and the cycle is twice the conduction cycle of the primary MOS.

[0077] Figure 5 As shown in the schematic structural diagram of an electronic device provided by an embodiment of the present application, Figure 5 as shown, the electronic device 500 may include: a power control circuit 501 and a load 502. The power control circuit 501 is connected to the load 502 to provide a constant current and / or a constant voltage for the load 502. Among them, the power control circuit 501 may adopt the structure in the above embodiment.

[0078] In a specific application, the power control circuit 501 can be applied in a power adapter, and the load 502 can be integrated in a device that needs to be powered (such as Figure 2 the display device in the above-mentioned embodiment), such as an LED, a backlight component, etc., to jointly form an electronic device 500.
