Description

[0002] In some high-power-factor power systems, high-voltage power supply technology is used. For example... Figure 1 The diagram shows a typical high-power-factor AC / DC flyback power supply 1 employing high-voltage power supply technology. When the chip power supply voltage VDD is lower than the chip power supply reference voltage Vref, the JFET is turned on, and the DC bus voltage HV charges the capacitor Cvdd through the JFET, simultaneously supplying power to other modules in the chip (e.g., control module 11). When VDD is higher than Vref, the JFET is turned off, and the capacitor Cvdd supplies power to the chip. Therefore, the VDD voltage can be stabilized at Vref.

[0003] like Figure 2 As shown Figure 1 The waveform diagram of the main nodes in the high power factor AC / DC flyback power supply 1, due to the source-drain voltage V on the JFET. JFET_DS The voltage difference between HV and VDD, from Figure 2 As can be seen, when the HV voltage is high, there is a large loss (voltage * current) on the JFET, which will lead to a decrease in system efficiency, excessive JFET temperature, and affect chip life.

[0080] The present application is herein described, by way of example only, with reference to embodiments thereof. It is to be understood that variations and modifications will be apparent to those skilled in the art and that the scope of the present application encompasses all such obvious variations and modifications. The embodiments described herein are to be understood as illustrative only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present application in any way.

[0081] Reference will now be made to the drawings, wherein: Figures 3-9 It is to be understood that the above-mentioned arrangements are merely meant to be illustrative of the present application and that changes and modifications can be made thereto without departing from the scope of the present application. It is to be further understood that the above-mentioned arrangements are not meant to be restrictive of the present application and that changes and modifications can be made thereto without departing from the scope of the present application.

[0082] In order to reduce the loss on the junction field effect transistor (JFET), a direct current bus voltage (HV) is generally sampled to control the switching of the JFET. As shown in Figure 3As shown in the figure, the DC bus voltage HV is sampled by resistors R1 and R2 to obtain the sampled voltage Vin. The comparator 22 compares the sampled voltage Vin with the preset voltage Vin_ref (at this time, the preset voltage corresponding to the DC bus voltage HV is Vhv_ref), and outputs the control signal of the switch S2. The output signal of the comparator 22 is inverted by the inverter 23 to obtain the control signal of the switch S1. When the sampled voltage Vin is greater than the preset voltage Vin_ref (that is, the DC bus voltage HV > Vhv_ref), through the adjustment of the operational amplifier 24 and the switching transistor Q1, the power supply voltage VDD will be stabilized at the reference voltage Vref2. When the sampled voltage Vin is less than the preset voltage Vin_ref (that is, the DC bus voltage HV < Vhv_ref), through the adjustment of the operational amplifier 24 and the switching transistor Q1, the power supply voltage VDD will be stabilized at the reference voltage Vref1, where Vref1 > Vref2. The power supply voltage VDD generates the operating voltage of the control module 21 through the operating voltage generation module 25.

[0083] As Figure 4 shown, when the voltage V between the source and drain of the junction field effect transistor JFET is JFET_DS higher, the on-time of the junction field effect transistor JFET is short, and less charge is supplied to the power supply voltage VDD; when the voltage V between the source and drain of the junction field effect transistor JFET is JFET_DS lower, the on-time of the junction field effect transistor JFET is long, and more charge is supplied to the power supply voltage VDD. This reduces the loss of the junction field effect transistor JFET and improves the efficiency of the system.

[0084] However, this solution requires sampling the DC bus voltage HV externally, which requires additional components. At the same time, it also requires the chip to have additional pins to receive the sampled voltage signal, increasing the cost and being unfavorable for system miniaturization. In addition, this solution has certain limitations in the application of the BUCK topology circuit because the DC bus voltage HV in the BUCK topology circuit is not a sine wave but is clamped at the output voltage Vout by the output capacitor. As Figure 5 shown, when designing the system, the preset voltage Vhv_ref must be designed between the peak value HVmax of the DC bus voltage and the output voltage Vout. Therefore, for different output voltages, different sampling resistors need to be placed, increasing the difficulty of system design.

[0085] Based on the above reasons, the present invention provides a power supply module, a switching power supply control circuit, a chip and a power supply system, which do not require sampling the DC bus voltage HV, but judge the working state of the system through the demagnetization detection of the system, and then control the switching of the junction field effect transistor JFET. The specific solution is as follows.

[0086] Embodiment 1

[0087] As Figure 6 shown in the figure, the embodiment provides a power supply module 31 for powering the switching power supply control circuit, the power supply module 31 comprises:

[0088] a demagnetization detection unit 311, a working state detection unit 312, a reference selection unit 313, a junction field effect transistor JFET and a voltage stabilizing unit 314.

[0089] As Figure 6 shown, the demagnetization detection unit 311 detects the demagnetization time of the switching power supply.

[0090] Specifically, any circuit structure capable of realizing demagnetization detection is applicable to the present application, including but not limited to obtaining demagnetization information based on inductance current, which will not be described one by one. The demagnetization detection unit 311 outputs a demagnetization time detection signal Tdemag, as an example, the demagnetization time detection signal Tdemag is high during demagnetization, and the demagnetization time detection signal Tdemag is low after demagnetization ends, that is, the duration of high level is the demagnetization time.

[0091] As Figure 6 shown, the working state detection unit 312 is connected to the output end of the demagnetization detection unit 311, and judges the working state of the junction field effect transistor JFET based on the demagnetization time, judges that the source-drain voltage of the junction field effect transistor JFET is less than a set value when the demagnetization time is less than a preset time, and judges that the source-drain voltage of the junction field effect transistor JFET is greater than the set value when the demagnetization time is greater than the preset time.

[0092] Specifically, in the embodiment, the working state detection unit 312 comprises a current source I, a first switch SW1, a second switch SW2, a first capacitor C1, a clock signal generation subunit 312a and a second comparator 312b.

[0093] More specifically, the output end of the current source I is connected to the upper plate of the first capacitor C1 via the first switch SW1, and the lower plate of the first capacitor C1 is grounded. The current flowing through the current source I can be set as needed, which will not be described one by one. The control end of the first switch SW1 is connected to the output end of the demagnetization detection unit 311 (controlled by the demagnetization time detection signal Tdemag), the first switch SW1 is controlled to be turned on by a high level signal during demagnetization, and the current source I charges the first capacitor C1; the first switch SW1 is controlled to be turned off by a low level signal after demagnetization ends, and the current source I stops charging the first capacitor C1.

[0094] More specifically, the clock signal generating subunit 312a is connected to the output terminal of the demagnetization detection unit 311, generating a first clock signal CLK1 and a second clock signal CLK2 between two demagnetization operations, wherein the second clock signal CLK2 lags behind the first clock signal CLK1, and the first clock signal CLK1 and the second clock signal CLK2 do not overlap. Figure 7 As shown in the example, after the demagnetization time detection signal Tdemag goes low (demagnetization ends), the first clock signal CLK1 immediately goes high; after the first clock signal CLK1 goes low, the second clock signal CLK2 immediately goes high, and before the demagnetization time detection signal Tdemag goes high again, the second clock signal CLK2 goes low. In practical applications, the first clock signal and the second clock signal are valid between two demagnetization cycles, and the two clock signals do not overlap; this embodiment is not the limitation.

[0095] More specifically, the second switch SW2 is connected in parallel across the first capacitor C1, and its control terminal is connected to the second clock signal CLK2. Based on the second clock signal CLK2, the first capacitor C1 is cleared. After the first capacitor C1 is fully charged and the voltage on the first capacitor C1 is read, the second clock signal CLK2 becomes valid, the second switch SW2 is turned on, and the voltage on the first capacitor C1 is cleared.

[0096] More specifically, the input terminals of the second comparator 312b are respectively connected to the upper plate of the first capacitor C1 and the reference voltage Vdemag_ref, and output the operating state judgment signal D of the junction field-effect transistor (JFET). In this embodiment, the non-inverting input terminal of the second comparator 312b is connected to the reference voltage Vdemag_ref, and the inverting input terminal is connected to the upper plate of the first capacitor C1. In actual use, the relationship between the input signal of the second comparator and the polarity of the corresponding input terminal can be set as needed. This can be adjusted by setting an inverter, as long as the logic of the present invention can be realized.

[0097] It should be noted that any circuit structure capable of obtaining the working state judgment signal D of the junction field effect transistor JFET based on the demagnetization time is applicable to the present application, and is not limited to the present embodiment. In addition, logically, when the demagnetization time is less than the preset time, it is judged that the source-drain voltage of the junction field effect transistor JFET is less than the set value, when the demagnetization time is greater than the preset time, it is judged that the source-drain voltage of the junction field effect transistor JFET is greater than the set value, and when the demagnetization time is equal to the preset time, it is judged that the source-drain voltage of the junction field effect transistor JFET is equal to the set value. However, in actual application, the comparator can only output "0" or "1" to represent the greater or smaller state, and cannot represent the equal state; due to the hysteresis characteristic of the comparator, when the to-be-judged signal is equal to the reference signal, the output result of the comparator is determined according to the change trend of the to-be-judged signal. Taking the second comparator 312b of the present application as an example, in the initial stage of charging of the first capacitor C1, the voltage on the first capacitor C1 is less than the reference voltage Vdemag_ref, at this time, the second comparator 312b outputs high level; when the voltage on the first capacitor C1 increases to the reference voltage Vdemag_ref, the output signal of the second comparator 312b will not flip immediately, but will flip to low level when the voltage on the first capacitor C1 is slightly greater than the reference voltage Vdemag_ref. Similarly, when the voltage on the first capacitor C1 is greater than the reference voltage Vdemag_ref, the second comparator 312b outputs low level; when the voltage on the first capacitor C1 gradually decreases to the reference voltage Vdemag_ref, the output signal of the second comparator 312b will not flip immediately, but will flip to high level when the voltage on the first capacitor C1 is slightly less than the reference voltage Vdemag_ref. In the present embodiment, since the demagnetization time is calculated by charging the first capacitor C1, and the final calculated demagnetization time is judged and the judgment result is read (CLK1 is effective), the first capacitor C1 is discharged in the stage of not reading the judgment result (CLK1 is invalid), therefore, when the demagnetization time is equal to the preset time, the judgment result given by the second comparator 312b is high level, that is, the source-drain voltage of the junction field effect transistor JFET is less than the set value.

[0098] As Figure 6As shown, the reference selection unit 313 is connected to the output terminal of the working state detection unit 312, and generates a reference voltage, which is a first voltage value Vref1 when the source-drain voltage of the junction field effect transistor JFET is less than the set value, and a second voltage value Vref2 when the source-drain voltage of the junction field effect transistor is greater than the set value; wherein the first voltage value Vref1 is greater than the second voltage value Vref2.

[0099] Specifically, in the present embodiment, the reference selection unit 313 includes a flip-flop 313a, a third switch SW3 and a fourth switch SW4. The data input terminal D of the flip-flop 313a is connected to the output terminal of the working state detection unit 312, the clock terminal CLK is connected to the first clock signal CLK1, the non-inverted output terminal outputs a first selection signal, and the inverted output terminal outputs a second selection signal; as an example, the flip-flop 313a is a D flip-flop. One end of the third switch SW3 is connected to a reference voltage having the first voltage value Vref1, and the control terminal is connected to the first selection signal. One end of the fourth switch SW4 is connected to a reference voltage having the second voltage value Vref2, and the control terminal is connected to the second selection signal. The second ends of the third switch SW3 and the fourth switch SW4 are connected together and serve as the output terminal of the reference selection unit 313.

[0100] It should be noted that any circuit structure capable of providing a corresponding reference voltage based on the working state judgment signal D of the junction field effect transistor JFET is applicable to the present application, and is not limited to the present embodiment. In the present embodiment, based on the hysteresis characteristic of the comparator, in actual application, when the source-drain voltage of the junction field effect transistor is equal to the set value, the reference voltage is the first voltage value Vref1.

[0101] As shown in FIG. 3, the junction field effect transistor JFET is connected between the output terminal of the working state detection unit 312 and the reference selection unit 313. Figure 6 As shown, the drain of the junction field effect transistor JFET is connected to the DC bus voltage HV, and the gate is grounded.

[0102] As shown in FIG. 3, the junction field effect transistor JFET is connected between the output terminal of the working state detection unit 312 and the reference selection unit 313. Figure 6 As shown, the voltage stabilizing unit 314 is connected to the source of the junction field effect transistor JFET and the output terminal of the reference selection unit 313, and generates a stable power supply voltage VDD based on the reference voltage.

[0103] Specifically, in the embodiment, the voltage stabilizing unit 314 includes a switch tube Q1 and a first comparator 314a, and the power supply voltage VDD is stabilized at the reference voltage. The first end of the switch tube Q1 is connected to the source of the junction field effect transistor JFET, and the second end is used as the output end of the voltage stabilizing unit 314. The input ends of the first comparator 314a are respectively connected to the output end of the voltage stabilizing unit 314 and the output end of the reference selection unit 313, and the output end is connected to the control end of the switch tube Q1. As an example, the non-inverting input end of the first comparator 314a is connected to the output end of the reference selection unit 313, and the inverting input end is connected to the output end of the voltage stabilizing unit 314, so as to realize negative feedback. In actual use, the relationship between the input signals of the first comparator and the corresponding input ends can be set as needed, and the inverter can be adjusted to realize the logic of the present application.

[0104] It should be noted that, in the embodiment, the switch tube Q1 is implemented by an NMOS tube, at this time, the first end of the switch tube Q1 is the drain, the second end is the source, and the control end is the gate. In actual use, the corresponding relationship of the ports of the switch tube Q1 can be adjusted adaptively according to the needs, and will not be described here.

[0105] Specifically, as another implementation manner of the present application, the voltage stabilizing unit 314 further includes a diode D1, the anode of the diode D1 is connected to the second end of the switch tube Q1, and the cathode is used as the output end of the voltage stabilizing unit 314 instead of the second end of the switch tube Q1, so as to limit the current flow direction and avoid current backflow.

[0106] Generally, the input current of the high power factor switching power supply system follows the DC bus voltage. In the embodiment, taking an AC / DC flyback power supply working in the inductive current critical conduction mode as an example, as shown in FIG. 2, I Figure 8 L is the primary side current of the transformer, the primary side peak current follows the DC bus voltage, and is a sinusoidal envelope. According to:

[0107]

[0108] It can be obtained that:

[0109] wherein, L is the inductance of the primary side of the transformer, I L_pk is the primary side peak current of the transformer, N is the turns ratio of the primary side and the secondary side of the transformer, Vout is the output voltage of the switching power supply, and Tdemag is the demagnetization time of the transformer. Since L, N, and Vout in the system are fixed quantities, the demagnetization time Tdemag is also a sinusoidal envelope following the DC bus voltage, and the size of the DC bus voltage can be judged according to the length of the demagnetization time.​

[0110] As shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown, when demagnetizing, the first switch SW1 is turned on, the second switch SW2 is turned off, and the current source I charges the first capacitor C1; after demagnetization ends, the first switch SW1 is turned off, and the voltage on the first capacitor C1 obtained at this time is compared with the reference voltage Vdemag_ref, and the comparison result D is given to the input end of the flip-flop 314a; then, the first clock signal CLK1 is sent out again, and the comparison result is transmitted to the output end Q of the flip-flop 314a and After the first clock signal CLK becomes low, the second clock signal CLK2 is sent out, the second switch SW2 is turned on, and the voltage on the first capacitor C1 is cleared.
