[0025] In a redundant power supply switching circuit and method for a spaceborne main backup power supply, the input Vin enters the surge suppression circuit to suppress the input surge current. Simultaneously, the ingenious combination of contacts K1 and K2 of the magnetic latching relay JB1 with power MOSFETs S1 and S2 enables power-on / off switching control using a small relay. A double fuse F1 and F2 and a protection resistor R1 are designed at the power input. When an overcurrent fault occurs in the secondary power supply or downstream load, the fuses open, cutting off the connection to the primary bus and protecting the primary bus. The double fuses F1 and F2 are used in parallel to prevent the other fuse from operating normally after one fuse blows. Voltage divider resistors R2 and R3, and differential mode capacitors C1 and C2 form a charging and discharging circuit. The two pairs of contacts K1 and K2 of the magnetic latching relay JB1 are initially closed. The current-limiting resistor R4 limits the current and protects contacts K1 and K2. Current-limiting resistors R5 and R6 are the gate protection resistors for power MOSFETs S1 and S2, respectively. Zener diodes D1 and D2 stabilize the gate-source voltage of power MOSFETs S1 and S2. When the input voltage Vin is applied, contacts K1 and K2 are closed, resulting in low gate-source voltages for power MOSFETs S1 and S2, which are in the off state. When the magnetic latching relay JB1 responds to an external power-on command, contacts K1 and K2 open, and Vin charges the differential-mode capacitors C1 and C2 through the voltage divider resistor R2. Power MOSFETs S1 and S2 slowly turn on until fully conducting, suppressing input inrush current. The output voltage Va then reaches the subsequent input filter circuit.

[0026] The input filter circuit filters out external electromagnetic interference introduced from the primary power bus and suppresses electromagnetic interference emitted by the high-frequency switching circuit to prevent it from affecting the normal operation of other electronic devices in the same electromagnetic environment. Va enters the input filter circuit for common-mode and differential-mode signal filtering, and then outputs Vb, which is sent to the DC / DC module circuit.

[0027] In the DC / DC module circuit, the disable terminal INH of DC / DC module N1 is controlled by magnetic latching relay JB2. When magnetic latching relay JB2 responds to an external power-on command, the two pairs of contacts K3 and K4 open, and the module starts working. The input voltage Vb is isolated and transformed by N1 to output a stable DC voltage Vout. When magnetic latching relay JB2 responds to an external power-off command, the two pairs of contacts K3 and K4 close, and the module stops working. This prevents the downstream DC / DC module circuit from switching in case of short-circuit failure of power MOSFETs S1 and S2 in the surge suppression circuit, ensuring reliable shutdown.

[0028] In the power-on / off switching circuit, the two sets of coils of magnetic latching relay JB1 are connected in parallel with the two sets of coils of JB2. Initially, contacts K1 and K2 of magnetic latching relay JB1 are closed, and contacts K3 and K4 of magnetic latching relay JB2 are closed, with both main and backup power supplies off. When responding to an external low-level active power-on command Zon, the command bus voltage ZLdc passes through coil J1 of magnetic latching relay JB1 and coil J3 of magnetic latching relay JB2, causing contacts K1 and K2 of JB1 to operate, and contacts K3 and K4 of JB2 to operate. The operation of K1 and K2 disconnects Zen from Vin (-), allowing Vin to slowly charge C1 and C2 through R2, slowly turning on the MOSFET in the main surge suppression circuit. The operation of K3 and K4 disconnects Zen from Vb-, changing the enable terminal of the main DC / DC module from disabled to enabled. Conversely, when responding to the external low-level active shutdown command Zoff, relay contacts K1, K2, K3, and K4 return to their initial state, and the main power supply is turned off. Protection diodes D5 and D6 eliminate the coil back EMF. Diodes D3 and D4 provide interlocking for the main and backup power-on / off commands; that is, when responding to the main power-on command Zon, the backup circuit's Boff command is forcibly pulled low, ensuring backup shutdown; when responding to the backup power-on command Bon, the main circuit's Zoff command is forcibly pulled low, ensuring main shutdown. This prevents simultaneous power-on of the main and backup circuits, achieving cold backup functionality.

[0029] This invention cleverly uses an ultra-miniature magnetic latching relay and surge current suppression circuit to realize the function of switching control of the on-board main backup redundant power supply. Furthermore, it uses parallel relays to control the enable terminal of the DC / DC module and the command interlock diode to ensure that the power supply can be backed up and reliably shut down at any time. It has the characteristics of small size and high reliability.

5. The primary / backup redundant power supply switching circuit as described in claim 4, characterized in that, The input Vin enters the surge suppression circuit. At the power inlet, dual fuses F1 and F2 and a protective resistor R1 are designed. When an overcurrent fault occurs in the secondary power supply or downstream load, the fuses open, cutting off the connection to the primary bus and protecting it. The dual fuses F1 and F2 are used in parallel to prevent the other fuse from operating normally if one fuse blows accidentally. Voltage divider resistors R2 and R3, and differential mode capacitors C1 and C2 form the charging and discharging circuit. The two pairs of contacts K1 and K2 of the magnetic latching relay JB1 are initially closed. The current-limiting resistor R4 limits the current and protects contacts K1 and K2. Current-limiting resistors R5 and R6 are the gate protection resistors for power MOSFETs S1 and S2, respectively. Zener diodes D1 and D2 stabilize the gate-source voltage of power MOSFETs S1 and S2. When the input voltage Vin is applied, contacts K1 and K2 close, the gate-source voltage of power MOSFETs S1 and S2 is low, and S1 and S2 are in the off state. When the magnetic latching relay JB1 responds to the external power-on command, contacts K1 and K2 open, Vin charges the differential mode capacitors C1 and C2 through the voltage divider resistor R2, and the power MOSFETs S1 and S2 slowly turn on until they are fully turned on, which suppresses the input surge current. The output voltage Va is sent to the subsequent input filter circuit.

6. The primary / backup redundant power supply switching circuit as described in claim 4, characterized in that, The input filter circuit filters out external electromagnetic interference introduced into the primary power bus and suppresses electromagnetic interference emitted by the high-frequency switching circuit. Va enters the input filter circuit for common-mode and differential-mode signal filtering and outputs Vb, which is then sent to the DC / DC module circuit.

7. The primary / backup redundant power supply switching circuit as described in claim 4, characterized in that, In the DC / DC module circuit, the N1 disable terminal INH of the DC / DC module is controlled by the magnetic latching relay JB2. When the magnetic latching relay JB2 responds to an external power-on command, the two pairs of contacts K3 and K4 open, and the module starts working. The input voltage Vb is isolated and transformed by N1 to output a stable DC voltage Vout. When the magnetic latching relay JB2 responds to an external power-off command, the two pairs of contacts K3 and K4 close, and the module is disabled. This prevents the power MOSFETs S1 and S2 in the surge suppression circuit from short-circuiting and failing, thus switching the subsequent DC / DC module circuit to ensure reliable shutdown.

8. The primary / backup redundant power supply switching circuit as described in any one of claims 4-7, characterized in that, In the power-on / off switching circuit, the two sets of coils of magnetic latching relay JB1 are connected in parallel with the two sets of coils of JB2, respectively. Initially, contacts K1 and K2 of magnetic latching relay JB1 are closed, and contacts K3 and K4 of magnetic latching relay JB2 are closed, with both main and backup power supplies off. When a low-level active power-on command Zon is received, the command bus voltage ZLdc passes through coil J1 of magnetic latching relay JB1 and coil J3 of magnetic latching relay JB2, causing contacts K1 and K2 of JB1 to actuate, and contacts K3 and K4 of JB2 to actuate.

4. Operation: When contacts K1 and K2 operate, Zen is disconnected from Vin-. Vin slowly charges C1 and C2 through R2, and the MOSFET in the main surge suppression circuit slowly turns on. When contacts K3 and K4 operate, Zdcen is disconnected from Vb-, and the enable terminal of the main DC / DC module changes from disabled to enabled. Conversely, when responding to the external low-level active shutdown command Zoff, relay contacts K1, K2, K3, and K4 return to their initial state, and the main power supply is turned off. Protection diodes D5 and D6 serve to eliminate the back EMF of the coil. Diodes D3 and D4 serve as interlocking mechanisms for the main and backup power-on / off commands. That is, when the main power-on command Zon is received, the backup circuit's Boff command is forcibly pulled low to ensure the backup is powered off. When responding to the backup power-on command Bon, the Zoff command of the primary circuit is forcibly pulled low to ensure that the primary circuit is powered off. This prevents the primary and backup circuits from being powered on simultaneously at any time, thus achieving the function of cold backup.
