[0002] With the continuous innovation of electronic products worldwide, especially the AC-DC converters used in USB PD fast charging, high demands are placed on power density and converter efficiency. Currently, most AC-DC converters adopt flyback topology. Compared with traditional flyback converters, active clamp flyback converters improve the utilization of leakage inductance energy and can achieve soft turn-on of power transistors, thus effectively improving efficiency.
[0003] The input to a conventional flyback topology system is AC mains power, which is the bus voltage (V) after full-bridge rectification and filtering by a voltage regulator capacitor. BULK This is the input of the active clamp flyback converter. When the bus voltage is too low, the flyback converter should stop working. The traditional method of bus voltage detection is to use a resistor divider. Because the bus voltage can be as high as 400V, a large resistor value is required to reduce static power consumption, which brings additional external component costs.

It should be noted that the present invention can be implemented in different forms and is not limited to the specific embodiments described herein. The purpose of providing these embodiments is to better illustrate the present invention and to make the understanding of the disclosure of the present invention more thorough and comprehensive.
[0027] Figure 1 This invention illustrates the circuit structure of a flyback converter provided in an embodiment of the present invention. The power supply system in this embodiment includes: an AC power supply 1, a rectifier circuit 2, and a first capacitor C. BULK 3. Flyback converter 3, wherein flyback converter 3 includes, but is not limited to, an active clamp flyback converter.
[0028] Rectifier circuit 2 rectifies AC power supply 1 into a second voltage signal V. BULK It serves as the input to flyback converter 3. Optionally, rectifier circuit 2 can be a half-bridge rectifier or a full-bridge rectifier circuit.
[0029] In this embodiment of the invention, the flyback converter 3 is an active clamp flyback converter, which includes: a second capacitor C2, a third capacitor C3, a fourth capacitor Co, a first resistor R1, a second resistor R2, a third resistor R3, a fourth resistor R4, a first switch Q1, a second switch Q2, a first rectifier diode D1, a second rectifier diode D2, a control circuit 31 including a drive module and a bus voltage sampling module 312, and a primary winding Np, a secondary winding Ns, an auxiliary winding Na, and a leakage inductance L. K Transformer 32.
[0030] In this embodiment of the invention, the second voltage signal V BULK The second capacitor C2 and the first resistor R1 are connected in parallel to the drain terminal of the first switching transistor Q1.

SW The gate and source terminals of the second switching transistor are connected to the control circuit 31, and the source terminal of the second switching transistor is connected to the primary reference ground through the second resistor R2.
[0031] During the same switching cycle of the flyback converter 3, the first switch Q1 and the second switch Q2 are turned on in a time-sharing manner to realize the transfer of the second voltage signal V. BULK Energy is obtained from the primary winding Np and transferred to the secondary side of the flyback converter 3 to output Vo.

[0032] The secondary side of the flyback converter 3 includes a secondary winding Ns, a first rectifier diode D1, and a fourth capacitor Co. The anode of the first rectifier diode D1 is connected to the opposite-named terminal of the secondary winding Ns, and the cathode of the first rectifier diode D1 is connected to the output Vo of the flyback converter 3. The anode of the fourth capacitor Co is connected to the output Vo of the flyback converter 3, and the cathode of the fourth capacitor Co is connected to the secondary reference ground. The same-named terminal of the secondary winding is connected to the secondary reference ground. In one possible embodiment, the output Vo of the flyback converter 3 is connected to a load, and the load receives a second voltage signal V from the flyback converter 5. BULK The power is obtained from the load and transmitted to the output of the flyback converter. In one possible embodiment, the output of the flyback converter 5 is connected to the load through a BUS switch controlled by the PD fast charging chip, thereby controlling the power of the power received by the load. Optionally, the BUS switch can be an NMOS transistor or an N-type GaN transistor.
[0033] The auxiliary winding Na of transformer 32 has its same-name terminal connected to the primary reference ground and its opposite-name terminal connected to the anode of the second diode.

After the chip is started, the auxiliary winding Na is responsible for supplying power to the chip's power rail VDD.
[0034] The third resistor R3 and the fourth resistor R4 are connected in series between the opposite terminal of the auxiliary winding Na and the primary reference ground.

[0035] The control circuit 31 generates control signals Vgs_Q1 and Vgs_Q2 for the first switch Q1 and the second switch Q2, and uses the drive module 311 to drive Q1 and Q2 to control their switching states, where Vgs_Q1 = VG1 - VS1 and Vgs_Q2 = VG2 - VS2.
[0036] The control circuit 31 also includes a bus voltage sampling module 312, which is connected to the VS pin of the chip. When the auxiliary winding is at a negative voltage, this module clamps the VS pin to -200mV and receives the bus voltage V from the VS pin. BULK Current I that exhibits a linear relationship VS This information is converted into voltage information and stored inside the module for use by the chip.
[0037] refer to Figure 2 , Figure 1 The working principle of the active clamp flyback converter shown is as follows:
[0038] At time t0, the control signal Vgs_Q2 of transistor Q2 goes high, and transistor Q2 is turned on.
[0039] During the time period t0-t1, the control signal Vgs_Q1 for transistor Q1 is low, and the control signal Vgs_Q2 for transistor Q2 is high; transistor Q1 is off, and transistor Q2 is on. During this time period, the active clamp flyback converter draws voltage from the bus voltage V... BULK Energy is acquired and transmitted through leakage sensing L. k Magnetizing inductance L M The circuit consisting of transistor Q2 and resistor R2 excites transformer TR1, with an excitation current I. LM Leakage inductance L increases linearly from zero. K And excitation inductance L M Energy is stored, and the secondary rectifier diode D1 is reverse-biased and therefore does not supply power to the output Vo during this stage.
[0040] Furthermore, during the time interval t0-t1, V SW The voltage V across the primary winding is low. Np Equal to bus voltage V BULK The voltage V across the auxiliary winding Naux equal in To adjust the turns ratio of the auxiliary winding and the primary winding, VS is clamped to -200mV, and the current I flowing out of the VS pin... VS It can be represented as:
[0041]
[0042] In a common implementation, The voltage is in the tens of volts, while the bus voltage can usually reach several hundred volts. Therefore, compared with the traditional method of directly connecting a resistor to the bus voltage to divide it for detection, the resistance values of R3 and R4 can be reduced by an order of magnitude while consuming the same static current, thus saving the cost of external components. The values of R3 and R4 are on the same order of magnitude, and in equation (1) The absolute value is much greater than The absolute value of , and equation (1) In molecules It is also much greater than -200mV, therefore equation (1) can be approximately expressed as:
[0043]
[0044] That is, Ivs and bus voltage V BULLK Linear correlation.
[0045] At time t1, the control signal Vgs_Q2 of transistor Q2 goes low, and transistor Q2 is turned off.
[0046] During the time interval t1-t2, both transistors Q1 and Q2 are turned off; this period is the first dead time. Therefore, the leakage inductance L... KMagnetizing inductance L M The drain-source capacitors of transistors Q1 and Q2 will resonate, transferring energy from the leakage inductance Lk and magnetizing inductance Lm to the drain-source capacitors of transistors Q1 and Q2, thus increasing V. SW Increase; when V SW Rise to When D1 is turned on, the active flyback converter supplies power to the output, where V represents the turns ratio of the primary and secondary transformers. D1 This is the forward voltage drop of the secondary rectifier diode D1.
[0047] At time t2, the control signal Vgs_Q1 of transistor Q1 goes high, and transistor Q1 is turned on.
[0048] During the time period t2-t3, transistor Q1 is on, transistor Q2 is off, the secondary rectifier diode D1 is forward-biased, and the magnetizing inductor L... M The energy is transferred to the secondary side output Vo, and the voltage V across the primary winding is... Np clamped to in I is the turns ratio of the primary winding and the secondary winding. LM The voltage V across the auxiliary winding decreases linearly. Naux equal in The turns ratio of the auxiliary winding and the secondary winding is VS equal to When I LM When the voltage drops to zero, the secondary rectifier diode D1 turns off, and the magnetizing inductor L... M The voltage across the two ends is no longer affected by V. O Clamped, at this time the leakage inductance L K Magnetizing inductance L M and clamping capacitor C CLAMP Resonance occurs, causing the excitation current I LM Resonance in the negative direction.
[0049] At time t3, the control signal Vgs_Q1 for transistor Q1 goes low, and transistor Q1 is turned off.
[0050] During the time interval t3-t4, both transistors Q1 and Q2 are turned off. This period is the second dead time because the negative magnetizing current I... LM To continue the flow, therefore leakage inductance L K Magnetizing inductance L M The drain-source capacitances of transistors Q1 and Q2 will resonate, and the drain-source capacitance and leakage inductance L of transistor Q1 will also resonate. K And excitation inductance L M The energy is transferred to the drain-source capacitor of transistor Q2, making V SW reduce.
[0051] It should be noted that V during the first dead zone time SW The increase is due to the excitation current I at time t1, the beginning of the first dead time. LM The initial current direction is positive, i.e., I LM To V SW Node flow; V during the second dead time SW The decrease is due to the excitation current I at the beginning of the second dead time, t3. LM The initial current direction is negative, i.e., I LM From V SW Node outflow;
[0052] At time t4, V SW When the voltage drops to zero, the control signal Vgs_Q2 for transistor Q2 goes high, achieving zero-voltage turn-on for transistor Q2. This completes one switching cycle of the active clamp flyback converter, which will then repeat the same control logic and operating process.
[0053] Figure 3 The specific circuit structure of the bus voltage sampling module 312 is shown, where VDD is the power rail of the control circuit 31 powered by the auxiliary winding Na, VDDL is the low-voltage power rail generated inside the control circuit 31, Vbias is the input bias voltage, I1 and I2 are the input bias currents, where I2 is a positive temperature coefficient current, and the temperature coefficient of the sum of the currents I1 and I2 is also a positive temperature coefficient, TG1 is the first transmission gate, TG2 is the second transmission gate, and OP1 is the first operational amplifier.
[0054] Combination Figure 2 , Figure 3 The working principle of the bus voltage sampling module 312 shown is as follows:
[0055] At time t0, Vgs_Q2 goes high, the output of Buffer1 goes high, and the first input of AND1 goes high. However, due to the limited output capability of Buffer1, the low-pass filter formed by R10 and C6 prevents the second input of AND1 from going high, and the output of AND1 remains low. TG1 is turned off and TG2 is turned on. At this time, the voltage across C4 and C5 stores the bus voltage information sampled in the previous switching cycle and outputs it through OP1 buffer.
[0056] From t0 to t0+t delay During the time period, Vgs_Q2 is high, Buffer1 charges the upper plate of the sixth capacitor, and the output of AND1 remains low. MN1 and MN2 are matched MOSFETs, meaning they have the same width-to-length ratio but different parallel connections. MN2 has a larger parallel connection, which clamps VS. The Vgs of MN1 and MN2 are approximately equal. R9 is a small resistor. Without considering the changes in R9 and the threshold voltage, VS can be approximately expressed as:
[0057] VS=0V-(I1+I2)*R8………………………………………………………………(3),
[0058] In one possible implementation, VS is clamped to -200mV.
[0059] The bus voltage sampling module circuit has a negative feedback loop, which contains a nested positive feedback loop. Specifically, in the negative feedback loop, when the source voltage of MN2 decreases, MN2, acting as a common-gate amplifier, causes its drain (denoted as V1) to decrease. MP1, acting as a common-source amplifier with resistor (R5) negative feedback, causes the gate voltage of MN2 to rise. MN2, acting as a source follower amplifier, then causes its source voltage to rise, thus forming voltage negative feedback. This reduces the source impedance of MN2, improving the accuracy of the negative voltage clamping. In the nested positive feedback loop, when V1 decreases, MP1, acting as a common-source amplifier with resistor (R5) negative feedback, causes the gate voltage of MN2 to rise. MN2, acting as a common-source amplifier, causes V1 to decrease, thus forming positive feedback. To ensure loop stability, the gain of the positive feedback needs to be less than 1, i.e., satisfying the following condition:
[0060]
[0061] In the formula, G m2 For MN2 as the equivalent transconductance of a common-source amplifier with resistive negative feedback, g m1 It represents the transconductance of MN1.
[0062] From t0 to t0+t delay During the time interval, if I vs flows through R6, V1 can be represented as:
[0063]
[0064] This converts the current information carried by Ivs, which is related to the bus voltage, into voltage information V1. When Ivs is too large, i.e., the bus voltage V... BULK If the value is too high, it will cause V1 to be too low. When V1 < V bias -V TH_MN3 When, where V TH_MN3 The threshold voltage of MN3 is set. When MN3 is turned on, it clamps V1 to prevent it from decreasing further, thus ensuring that V1 does not drop too low and cause MN2 to enter the linear region, losing its clamping ability on VS. Simultaneously, even if the bus voltage V... BULK As Ivs increases further, V1 is clamped by MN3. The current flowing through R6 remains unchanged. That is, the current with the further increase in Ivs flows through MN3 and is drawn from VDD, which limits the upper limit of the current flowing through R6 and reduces the design difficulty of the maximum load capacity of the internal power rail VDDL of the chip.
[0065] Furthermore, MN1 and MN2 operate in the saturation region, and the channel current I in the NMOS transistor saturation region is... DS It can be represented as:
[0066]
[0067] In the formula, β is a constant related to the MOSFET, and the error of VS clamping is compared with that in formula (1). It is much smaller, therefore we can consider I for MN2 DS If the temperature coefficient of Vth remains constant, it will linearly add to Vgs. At room temperature, Vth can be considered to decrease with increasing temperature, causing Vgs of MN2 to decrease. To maintain the source voltage of MN2 and thus obtain better VS clamping accuracy, the gate voltage of MN2 needs to be reduced simultaneously, i.e., the gate voltage of MN2 needs to have a negative temperature coefficient. Although the gate voltage of MN1 also has a negative temperature coefficient, the temperature coefficients of their threshold voltages do not match because the source voltages of MN1 and MN2 are different. To compensate for this difference, this invention introduces an additional negative temperature coefficient on the voltage drop across R8. The design goal is:
[0068]
[0069] At t0+t delay At a certain moment, V2 flips high, V3 flips low, TG1 turns on, TG2 turns off, and the voltage information on IVS begins to be transmitted to the voltage across C4. To ensure that the current information of IVS can be correctly stored on the voltage across C4, the time constant R6*C4 of the low-pass filter formed by R6 and C4 needs to be less than the minimum switching period of the flyback converter multiplied by the minimum duty cycle and then subtracted from t. delay That is, it must satisfy:
[0070] R6*C6<MIN(T)*MIN(D)-t dealy .......................................(8),
[0071] In the formula, MIN(T) is the minimum switching period of the flyback converter, and MNI(D) is the minimum duty cycle of the flyback converter.
[0072] The delay t of AND1 flipping up, which is composed of Buffer1, R10, C6, and AND1. delay This is to match the delay t between the Q2 control signal Vgs_Q2 from the chip turning high and the power transistor turning on in practical applications. delay_Q2 , t delay It needs to be greater than t delay_Q2 .
[0073] At t0+tdelay During the time interval t1, the information of Ivs, which carries the magnitude of the bus voltage, is gradually transferred to the voltage across C4. After reaching a steady state, V1 can be expressed as equation (5).
[0074] At time t1, Vgs_Q2 goes low, V2 goes low, V3 goes high, TG1 is turned off, TG2 is turned on, and C4 and C5 share charge. The capacitance of C4 needs to be much larger than that of C5, so that after reaching steady state, the voltage of the lower plates of C4 and C5 is approximately equal to equation (5), and is output to the output VOUT of the bus voltage sampling module through OP1 connected as a buffer. VOUT can be expressed as:
[0075]
[0076] This enables the sampling and storage of bus voltage.
[0077] In summary, the bus voltage sampling module clamps VS to -200mV when VS is negative. During the time interval t0 to t1 within each switching cycle, the module outputs the bus voltage sampled in the previous switching cycle; at t0+t... delay The bus voltage is sampled during the time period t1 and stored in C4; during the time period from t1 to t4, the module outputs the bus voltage sampled in this switching cycle.
[0078] In summary, the bus voltage sampling module of this invention employs a negative feedback loop to reduce output impedance and introduces negative temperature coefficient compensation to achieve higher clamping accuracy in negative voltage clamping. For bus voltage sampling, a negative voltage clamping function is designed, and the linear correlation between the auxiliary winding voltage and the bus voltage within a specific switching cycle is utilized to convert the auxiliary winding voltage into current information, which is then converted back into voltage information using a resistor. Regarding the storage of sampled bus voltage information, a sampling and storage system consisting of two sets of capacitors is designed based on the switching sequence of the power transistors, ensuring that bus voltage information is available for subsequent circuits at all times. Compared to the traditional method of directly sampling bus voltage using voltage divider resistors, the bus voltage sampling module of this invention shifts the sampling of bus voltage to a lower voltage domain, thus allowing the use of smaller resistors and reducing the overhead of external components.

It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations.
