Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of circuit switching and belongs to circuit mode switching technology. Background Art

[0002] Because the dual-switch buck-boost circuit has a simple operating principle and can achieve buck-boost functionality, it is suitable for control over a wide range of input and output voltages. However, due to its two degrees of freedom, the dual-switch buck-boost circuit has a variety of control strategies, and different modes have different output characteristics, resulting in varying circuit output efficiency. To achieve both buck-boost functionality and improve circuit efficiency, buck-boost mode switching can effectively reduce the significant stress on the inductor current, minimize circuit damage, and lower the requirements for power switching devices. However, achieving mode prediction and smooth switching is a challenge, making it a hot research topic. Currently, there are two main approaches to achieving mode switching: one determines the circuit mode based on the input and output voltages, but this approach is complex to implement and difficult to achieve smooth mode switching. The other approach uses dual modulation waveforms with a single carrier or single modulation waveform with a dual carrier. This approach does achieve smooth mode switching, but to improve waveform quality, it often requires a dual closed-loop control strategy or an input voltage feedforward control strategy, which is complex to implement, especially in digital circuits. Therefore, there is a need to find a smooth mode switching strategy that is simple to control, efficient, and easy to implement. Summary of the Invention
