[0066] See also Figure 3 In one embodiment, the switching power supply 10 includes a second freewheeling tube 121, a second switch tube 122, a second inductor 123 and a second capacitor 124. The second freewheeling tube 121 is an N-type channel field effect transistor NFET. The second switch tube 122 is a P-type channel field effect transistor PFET. The source of the second switch tube 122 is connected to the voltage input terminal VIN.

The drain of the second switch tube 122 is connected to one end of the second inductor 123. The other end of the second inductor 123 is connected to the load as the output end of the switching power supply 10. One end of the second capacitor 124 is connected to the other end of the second inductor 123. The other end of the second capacitor 124 is grounded. The gate of the second freewheeling tube 121, as the freewheeling tube driving end of the switching power supply 10, is connected to the control end of the control module 30. The drain of the second freewheeling tube 121 is connected to the drain of the second switch tube 122, and is connected to one end of the second inductor 123. The drain of the second freewheeling tube 121, the drain of the second switch tube 122, and one end of the second inductor 123 form a common end, which serves as a current sampling end of the switching power supply 10. The source of the second freewheeling tube 121 is grounded. The second freewheeling tube 121, the second switch tube 122, the second inductor 123, and the second capacitor 124 form a buck converter.

[0067] The switching power supply protection circuit 100 based on the forced continuous mode includes a pulse width modulation module 20 and a control module 30. The first input terminal of the pulse width modulation module 20 is connected to the output terminal of the switching power supply 10, and is used to obtain a voltage feedback signal of the output voltage signal VOUT. The output voltage signal VOUT can reflect the output voltage of the switching power supply 10, and is fed back to the first input terminal of the pulse width modulation module 20 as a feedback signal of the output terminal of the switching power supply 10.

[0068] The second input terminal of the pulse width modulation module 20 is connected to the current sampling terminal of the switching power supply 10, and the current sampling signal in the switching power supply 10 can be obtained in real time, which can reflect the change of the current in the switching power supply 10 and is embodied in the form of a voltage signal V4. The pulse width modulation module 20 is used to output a pulse width modulation signal (Pulse Width Modulation, PWM) according to the output voltage signal and the current sampling signal. PWM is a digital signal that controls energy transmission by controlling the length of time that a high level (or low level) appears (which can also be understood as pulse width, duty cycle). Through the pulse width modulation module 20, the pulse width modulation signal PWM can be dynamically adjusted according to the changes in the voltage and current in the switching power supply 10 to achieve a fast dynamic response and deal with abnormal conditions in the switching power supply 10.

[0069] In the case of an abnormal situation in the forced continuous mode, for example, when the output load of the switching power supply 10 changes from a heavy load to a light load, the power supply continuously inputs energy to the inductor during the on-stage of the switch tube. In the inductor discharge stage (the off-stage of the switch tube), the inductor cannot effectively release the stored energy to the load due to the load change, resulting in excess inductor energy in the switching power supply 10. Excess inductor energy in the switching power supply 10 can also be understood as the input inductor energy of the switching power supply 10 being greater than the output inductor energy. When the input inductor energy of the switching power supply 10 is greater than the output inductor energy, the output voltage signal VOUT of the switching power supply 10 increases, causing an excessive current to flow in the reverse direction through the first freewheeling tube 111 to the first inductor 113. Alternatively, when the input inductor energy of the switching power supply 10 is greater than the output inductor energy, the output voltage signal VOUT of the switching power supply 10 increases, causing an excessive current to flow in the reverse direction through the second inductor 123 to the second freewheeling tube 121. It can be seen from this that when the input inductor energy of the switching power supply 10 is greater than the output inductor energy, the inductor current will have an excessively large negative current.

[0070] The signal end of the control module 30 is connected to the output end of the pulse width modulation module 20. The control end of the control module 30 is connected to the driving end of the switching power supply 10. The control module 30 is used to control the freewheeling tube of the switching power supply 10 to be turned off according to the pulse width modulation signal PWM and the clock signal when the input inductance energy of the switching power supply 10 is greater than the output inductance energy. The pulse width modulation signal PWM and the clock signal clk jointly determine the switching duty cycle of the switching power supply 10, so that when the input inductance energy of the switching power supply 10 is greater than the output inductance energy, the freewheeling tube of the switching power supply 10 is controlled to be turned off. The freewheeling tube of the switching power supply 10 can be a first freewheeling tube 111 or a second freewheeling tube 121.

[0071] When the input inductance energy of the switching power supply 10 is greater than the output inductance energy, the output voltage signal VOUT of the switching power supply 10 increases, and the freewheeling tube of the switching power supply 10 is regulated to be turned off, which can also be understood as the first freewheeling tube 111 of the boost converter being turned off, or the second freewheeling tube 121 of the buck converter being turned off. When the freewheeling tube of the switching power supply 10 is turned off, the first freewheeling tube 111 is turned off or the second freewheeling tube 121 is turned off, which avoids the first freewheeling tube or the second freewheeling tube being turned on for a long time and causing excessive negative current.

[0072] Furthermore, the switching power supply protection circuit 100 based on the forced continuous mode provided by the present application avoids excessive negative current caused by the freewheeling tube in the switching power supply 10 being turned on for a long time, and solves the problem of excessive negative current in the inductor current in the traditional switching power supply system. Therefore, the switching power supply protection circuit 100 based on the forced continuous mode provided by the present application can protect the switching power supply 10 in the forced continuous mode, solving the problem of excessive reverse current of the inductor in the traditional technology.

[0073] In one embodiment, the control module 30 includes a first control submodule 310 and a second control submodule 320. The first signal input end of the first control submodule 310 is connected to the output end of the pulse width modulation module 20 for obtaining a pulse width modulation signal PWM. The second signal input end of the first control submodule 310 is used to obtain a clock signal. The control end of the first control submodule 310 is connected to the freewheeling tube driving end of the switching power supply 10. In one embodiment, the freewheeling tube driving end of the switching power supply 10 is used to drive the first freewheeling tube 111 in the boost converter to turn on or off. In one embodiment, the freewheeling tube driving end of the switching power supply 10 is used to drive the second freewheeling tube 121 in the buck converter to turn on or off.

[0074] In one embodiment, the first regulating submodule 310 includes a trigger, a logic operator, a driving circuit, etc., which can be adjusted and designed according to actual needs.

[0075] The first signal input end of the second regulating submodule 320 is connected to the output end of the pulse width modulation module 20, and is used to obtain the pulse width modulation signal PWM. The second signal input end of the second regulating submodule 320 is used to obtain the clock signal. The second signal input end of the second regulating submodule 320 is also connected to the signal regulating end of the first regulating submodule 310. The signal regulating end of the second regulating submodule 320 is connected to the third signal input end of the first regulating submodule 310. The control end of the second regulating submodule 320 is connected to the switch tube driving end of the switching power supply 10. In one embodiment, the switch tube driving end of the switching power supply 10 is used to drive the first switch tube 112 in the boost converter to turn on or off. In one embodiment, the switch tube driving end of the switching power supply 10 is used to drive the second switch tube 122 in the buck converter to turn on or off.

[0076] In one embodiment, the second regulating submodule 320 includes a trigger, a logic operator, a driving circuit, etc., which can be adjusted and designed according to actual needs.

[0077] The first regulating submodule 310 is used to regulate the conduction or shutdown of the freewheeling tube of the switching power supply 10 according to the pulse width modulation signal, the clock signal and the regulation signal output by the signal regulation end of the second regulating submodule 320. The second regulating submodule 320 is used to regulate the conduction or shutdown of the switch tube of the switching power supply 10 according to the pulse width modulation signal, the clock signal and the regulation signal output by the signal regulation end of the first regulating submodule 310. The first regulating submodule 310 and the second regulating submodule 320 influence each other through the regulation signal output by the signal regulation end, and can complement each other's information, realize collaborative work, and realize signal interaction and synergy. Through the mutual coordination of the first regulating submodule 310 and the second regulating submodule 320, the freewheeling tube in the switching power supply 10 is controlled to be turned on or off and the switch tube is turned on or off, which can ensure that the switch tube and the freewheeling tube are alternately turned on in the normal working state of the forced continuous mode of the switching power supply 10, so as to realize the boost or buck of the switching power supply 10. At the same time, the first regulating submodule 310 and the second regulating submodule 320 cooperate with each other to control the on or off of the freewheeling tube and the on or off of the switch tube in the switching power supply 10, so as to ensure that when the switching power supply 10 is in an abnormal situation of the forced continuous mode, for example, when the input inductance energy of the switching power supply 10 is greater than the output inductance energy, the freewheeling tube of the switching power supply 10 is regulated to be turned off, thereby avoiding the first freewheeling tube or the second freewheeling tube being turned on for a long time and causing excessive negative current, and solving the problem of excessive negative current in the inductor current in the traditional switching power supply system.

[0078] See also Figure 4 In one embodiment, the first control submodule 310 includes a first inverter 3111, a first trigger 3112, a second inverter 3113, a first OR operator 3114, and a first driving submodule 3115. The input end of the first inverter 3111 is connected to the output end of the pulse width modulation module 20, and the pulse width modulation signal PWM can be obtained. The first inverter 3111 can quickly invert the pulse width modulation signal PWM, invert the logic level of PWM, and output the inverted signal to the first trigger 3112.

[0079] The input end (i.e., the D end) of the first trigger 3112 is connected to the output end of the first inverter 3111. The clock end (i.e., the clk end) of the first trigger 3112 is used to obtain the clock signal. The first trigger 3112 can be a D trigger. When the rising edge of the clock signal clk arrives, the input end of the D trigger is high, and the Q output end of the D trigger also becomes high. If the input end of the D trigger is low, the Q output end of the D trigger also becomes low. The D trigger has the function of storing data. Under the control of the clock signal clk, it can store the signal at the input end and output the signal stably at the output end until the next valid clock edge arrives. The output state update of the D trigger is strictly controlled by the clock signal, has the advantages of strong anti-interference ability, and is easy to implement sequential logic control.

[0085] See also Figure 5 , under normal working conditions of the forced continuous mode, the compensation voltage signal V3 is located above the minimum value of the voltage signal V4, which can also be understood as the compensation voltage signal V3 being greater than the minimum value of the voltage signal V4. When the clock signal clk is at a high level and PWM is at a low level, the PWM low level passes through the first inverter 3111 and outputs a high level to the input end of the first trigger 3112. The first trigger 3112 is a D trigger. When the rising edge of the clock signal clk arrives, the input end of the first trigger 3112, that is, the D end, is at a high level. When the input end and the clock end of the first trigger 3112 are both at a high level, the output end of the first trigger 3112, that is, the Q end, is at a high level, that is, V5 is at a high level. The high level output by the output end of the first trigger 3112 outputs a low level after passing through the second inverter 3113 and is transmitted to the first input end of the first OR operator 3114.

[0086] The high level outputted from the output terminal of the first trigger 3112 is transmitted to the first input terminal of the first AND operator 3211. The second input terminal of the first AND operator 3211 is the clock signal clk, which is at a high level. The second trigger 3212 is an RS trigger composed of a NOR gate.

The reset terminal, i.e., the R terminal, of the second trigger 3212 is inputted with a PWM signal, i.e., a low level. If the S terminal of the second trigger 3212 is at a high level and the R terminal is at a low level, then the output terminal, i.e., the Q terminal, of the second trigger 3212 is at a high level. The high level outputted from the output terminal of the second trigger 3212 is to the second input terminal of the first OR operator 3114.

[0089] Then, the current of the switch tube gradually increases, and the voltage of the voltage signal V4 gradually increases accordingly. When the voltage of the voltage signal V4 is greater than the compensation voltage signal V3, the PWM signal outputs a high level to the input end of the first inverter 3111 and the reset end of the second trigger 3212, i.e., the R end. When the clock signal clk is at a low level, the output end of the first trigger 3112, i.e., the Q end, maintains a high level, i.e., V5 is at a high level. The high level output from the output end of the first trigger 3112 and the low level of the clock signal clk, after the AND operation of the first AND operator 3211, output a low level to the set end of the second trigger 3212, i.e., the S end.

[0090] The PWM signal is at a high level and is transmitted to the reset end, i.e., the R end, of the second trigger 3212. The reset end of the second trigger 3212 is at a high level and the set end is at a low level, so that the output end of the second trigger 3212 is at a low level and is transmitted to the input end of the second driver module 3213. After passing through the second driver module 3213, the switch tube is turned off. At the same time, the output end, i.e., the Q end, of the first trigger 3112 maintains a high level, and is changed to a low level through the second inverter 3113, and is input to the first input end of the first OR operator 3114. The low level output from the output end of the second trigger 3212 is input to the second input end of the first OR operator 3114, so that the output end of the first OR operator 3114 is at a low level. The low level output from the output end of the first OR operator 3114 is still at a low level after passing through the first driver module 3115, and controls the freewheeling tube to be turned on.

[0099] See also Figure 7 and Figure 8 In one embodiment, the pulse width modulation module 20 includes a voltage division feedback module 210, an operational amplifier module 220, and a comparison module 230. The voltage division feedback module 210 is connected to the output end of the switching power supply 10, and is used to perform voltage division processing on the output voltage signal VOUT to obtain a voltage feedback signal V1.

[0105] See also Fig. 9 and Fig.10 In one embodiment, the voltage-dividing feedback module 210 includes a first resistor 211 and a second resistor 212. One end of the first resistor 211 is connected to the output end of the switching power supply 10. One end of the second resistor 212 is connected to the other end of the first resistor 211, and the other end of the second resistor 212 is grounded.

[0106] The operational amplifier module 220 includes an operational amplifier 221. The inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier 221 is connected to the common terminal of the first resistor 211 and the second resistor 212, that is, the input voltage feedback signal V1. The non-inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier 221 is used to obtain the reference voltage signal V2. In one embodiment, the parameter setting of the operational amplifier 221 can be adjusted according to the actual application scenario. Through the operational amplifier 221, it is possible to amplify the small error signal of the voltage feedback signal V1 and the reference voltage signal V2, thereby improving the accuracy of the error calculation.

[0107] In one embodiment, the comparison module 230 includes a comparator 231. The non-inverting input terminal of the comparator 231 is connected to the current sampling terminal of the switching power supply 10 to obtain a current sampling signal. The current sampling signal is embodied in the form of a voltage signal V4. The inverting input terminal of the comparator 231 is connected to the output terminal of the operational amplifier 221 to obtain the compensation voltage signal V3. The output terminal of the comparator 231 is used as the output terminal of the pulse width modulation module 20 to output a pulse width modulation signal PWM.

[0108] The comparator 231 has the advantages of high gain, low offset voltage, anti-interference ability and fast response, and can make sensitive and fast judgments on small differences in input signals. Through the comparator 231, the compensation voltage signal V3 and the voltage signal V4 can be accurately compared, thereby generating a high-precision pulse width modulation signal PWM, and the level state of the pulse width modulation signal PWM can be quickly and accurately switched, thereby improving the dynamic response performance of the switching power supply protection circuit 100 based on the forced continuous mode.

[0109] See also Fig.11 In one embodiment, Figure 2 Taking the circuit structure shown as an example, in the abnormal situation of the forced continuous mode, for example, when the output load of the switching power supply 10 changes from heavy load to light load, the inductor energy in the switching power supply 10 is excessive, which can also be understood as when the input inductor energy is greater than the output inductor energy, the output voltage VOUT of the switching power supply 10 increases. The output voltage VOUT of the switching power supply 10 increases, so that the voltage feedback signal V1 becomes larger, and then after passing through the operational amplifier 221, it is compared with the reference voltage signal V2, so that the output compensation voltage signal V3 decreases. When the compensation voltage signal V3 is less than the minimum value of the voltage signal V4 corresponding to the current sampling signal, the PWM signal output after passing through the comparator 231 is high level and is always maintained at a high level.

[0110] Thus, when the clock signal clk becomes high level, the PWM signal is still high level. After passing through the first inverter 3111, it is converted to low level and transmitted to the input end of the first trigger 3112, that is, the D end. The clock end of the first trigger 3112, that is, the clk end, is high level, so that the output end of the first trigger 3112, that is, the Q end, is low level, and is transmitted to the input end of the second inverter 3113 and the first input end of the first AND operator 3211. The second input end of the first AND operator 3211 is the clock signal. After the first AND operator 3211 performs AND operation, the output end of the first AND operator 3211 outputs a low level to the set end of the second trigger 3212, that is, the S end. The reset end of the second trigger 3212, that is, the R end, is the PWM signal, which is high level. The output end of the second trigger 3212 maintains a low level. The low level output by the output end of the second trigger 3212 passes through the second driver submodule 3213, so that the switch tube is turned off and no longer conducts.

[0111] At the same time, the output end of the first trigger 3112, that is, the Q end, is at a low level, that is, V5 is at a low level. After being converted by the second inverter 3113, it is at a high level and is transmitted to the first input end of the first OR operator 3114. The second input end of the first OR operator 3114 is connected to the output end of the second trigger 3212 and is at a low level. Furthermore, after the first OR operator 3114 performs an OR operation, the output end of the first OR operator 3114 outputs a high level and is transmitted to the first driver submodule 3115. The first driver submodule 3115 performs voltage multiplication on the high level output by the first OR operator 3114, maintains the output freewheeling tube driving voltage V7, and provides a driving voltage to drive the freewheeling tube to maintain a closed state. Thus, the switch tube in the switching power supply 10 is turned off, and the freewheeling tube in the switching power supply 10 is also turned off, so that the current of the inductor in the switching power supply 10 is maintained at 0A, avoiding the existence of excessive inductor negative current in the switching power supply 10. Therefore, through the switching power supply protection circuit 100 based on the forced continuous mode provided in the present application, the switching power supply 10 can be protected in the forced continuous mode, avoiding the existence of excessive inductor negative current in the switching power supply 10, and solving the problem of excessive inductor reverse current in traditional technology.

[0112] further, Fig.11 The dotted line of the inductor current IL in the figure shows the trend of the inductor current under abnormal conditions using traditional technology. Fig.11 It can also be seen from the inductor current IL of the switching power supply 10 that, through the switching power supply protection circuit 100 based on the forced continuous mode provided by the present application, when the input inductor energy is greater than the output inductor energy, the inductor current IL can be maintained at 0A, thereby avoiding the existence of excessive negative inductor current in the switching power supply 10.
