Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of power supply, and in particular to a synchronous rectification circuit and a switching power supply. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of power electronics technology, switching power supplies are moving towards high miniaturization and high power density. Multiphase resonant converter topology is widely used in high power supply applications due to its advantages of soft switching and low current ripple. Figure 1 The schematic diagram is a typical three-phase resonant topology circuit schematic. The primary inverter circuit includes a first bridge arm composed of a switch tube Q1a and a switch tube Q1b, a second bridge arm composed of a switch tube Q2a and a switch tube Q2b, and a third bridge arm composed of a switch tube Q3a and a switch tube Q3b. The resonant branch connected to the switch tube Q1a and the switch tube Q1b includes a resonant inductor L1 and a resonant capacitor C2, the resonant branch connected to the switch tube Q2a and the switch tube Q2b includes a resonant inductor L3 and a resonant capacitor C3, and the resonant branch connected to the switch tube Q3a and the switch tube Q3b includes a resonant inductor L5 and a resonant capacitor C4.

[0003] In the process of switching power supply pursuing high efficiency, synchronous rectification technology stands out in low voltage and high current situations, especially in resonant topology, where synchronous rectification technology can greatly improve the efficiency of the system. The existing synchronous rectification technologies are mainly as follows:

[0004] 1. Detect the voltage drop of the parasitic body diode of the rectifier. When the rectifier body diode is detected to be turned on, it means that there is current flowing through the rectifier. At this time, the rectifier can be turned on to realize synchronous rectification. When the current flowing through the rectifier decreases, the voltage drop of the rectifier also decreases. When it is less than a certain threshold, the rectifier is turned off to realize synchronous rectification. This method of detecting the opening of the body diode and the closing of the conduction voltage drop is relatively simple to implement, but in high current situations, the rectifier has lead inductance and PCB routing inductance, which will affect the precise opening and closing of the synchronous rectifier. Especially in high frequency, the influence of parasitic inductance is greater. At this time, it is difficult to achieve precise opening and closing of the synchronous rectifier. In addition, in the case of low voltage and high current, the conduction voltage drop of the rectifier itself is very small, so it is difficult to achieve accurate shutdown.

[0005] 2. Active synchronous rectification technology. In some specific topologies, the primary switch tube and the secondary rectifier tube have a specific switching sequence in CCM. At this time, the secondary rectifier tube is actively controlled according to the switching status of the primary side to achieve synchronous rectification. This synchronous rectification method is simple, but can only be used in specific topologies and specific working modes. In resonant topologies, when the system works in DCM mode, active synchronous rectification technology cannot work stably and reliably.

[0006] 3. Current detection type synchronous rectification technology. Directly detecting the current flowing through the rectifier tube can also realize the detection of synchronous rectification. The Chinese patent application with publication number CN105099230A uses a current transformer to detect the transformer winding current, and detects the conduction status of the corresponding diode after triangle connection rectification to realize synchronous rectification. This method can realize the synchronous rectification function more accurately, but this method is only suitable for triangle connection and resonant topology working in normal resonant mode, and cannot work in Y-type connection or phase shift state.

[0007] It should be noted that the above information disclosed in the background technology section is only intended to deepen the understanding of the overall background technology of this application, and should not be regarded as admitting or suggesting in any form that the information constitutes prior art already known to those skilled in the art. Summary of the invention

[0013] The first group of diodes to the Nth group of diodes, and N resistors, each group of the first group of diodes to the Nth group of diodes includes four full-bridge connected diodes, the midpoint of one bridge arm in each group of diodes is connected to one end of the secondary inductor of the corresponding current transformer, and the midpoint of another bridge arm is connected to the other end of the secondary inductor of the corresponding current transformer, the positive output end of each group of diodes is connected to one end of the corresponding resistor, and the negative output end and the other end of the corresponding resistor are connected together to be connected to the secondary ground of the switching power supply;

[0014] The first group of comparison modules to the Nth group of comparison modules and the controller, each group of comparison modules includes two comparison modules, which are respectively connected between the anode and the cathode of a low-end diode in the corresponding group of diodes, and each comparison module in each group of comparison modules is used to sample the voltage across the connected diode. The controller is connected to each comparison module in each group of comparison modules, and is used to process the sampling results of each comparison module with the primary control signal of the switching power supply, and control the conduction and shutdown of the corresponding switching devices in each group of switching devices according to the processing results.

[0015] Furthermore, when the switching power supply operates in a normal resonant mode, the sampling results of each comparison module are logically processed with the primary side control signal; when the switching power supply operates in a secondary side phase shift state, the sampling results of each comparison module are logically processed with the primary side control signal after the phase shift.

[0016] Furthermore, the control logic for controlling the on and off of corresponding switch devices in each group of switch devices is:

[0017] When the switching power supply operates in the normal resonant mode, if the diode is turned on and the primary control signal is at a high level, the switch device corresponding to the turned-on diode is controlled to be turned on; if the diode is turned off or the primary control signal is at a low level, the switch device corresponding to the turned-off diode is controlled to be turned off;

[0018] When the switching power supply operates in the secondary side phase shift state, if the diode is turned on and the primary side control signal after the phase shift is at a high level, the switching device corresponding to the turned-on diode is controlled to be turned on; if the diode is turned off or the primary side control signal after the phase shift is at a low level, the switching device corresponding to the turned-off diode is controlled to be turned off.

[0019] Further, the other end of the primary inductance of each current transformer, one end of the corresponding secondary inductance of the current transformer and one end of the corresponding secondary inductance of the transformer are configured as the same-named ends.

The controller processes the sampling results of each comparison module and the primary control signal of the switching power supply, and controls the conduction and shutdown of the corresponding switching devices in each group of switching devices according to the processing results. Since the controller directly detects the rectifier current to turn on and off the rectifier tube, compared with the solution of detecting the voltage drop of the parasitic diode of the rectifier tube, it will not be affected by the lead inductance, PCB routing inductance and parasitic inductance, and the control is more accurate and reliable.

[0026] 2. Since the controller directly detects the rectifier current to turn on and off the rectifier tube, it is not affected by the connection, rectification and working mode of the resonant converter. Compared with the same type of current detection method, it can work in both delta connection and Y-shaped topology connection mode;

[0046] A first transformer TX1, a first inductor current transformer including a primary inductor CT1P and a secondary inductor CT1S, a first group of switch devices including switch devices Q1a and Q1b, a first group of diodes including diodes D1a1, D1a2, D1b1 and D1b2, a resistor R1, a first group of comparison modules including a B1a comparison module and a B1b comparison module, a low-end diode in the first group of diodes refers to diodes D1a2 and D1b2 whose anodes are connected to a secondary ground GNDS of the switching power supply, the diode D1a2 corresponds to the switch device Q1a, and the diode D1b2 corresponds to the switch device Q1b;

Compared with the scheme of detecting the voltage drop of the parasitic body diode of the rectifier tube, it will not be affected by the lead inductance, PCB wiring inductance and parasitic inductance, and the control is more accurate and reliable. At the same time, since the controller directly detects the rectification current to control the opening and closing of the rectifier tube, it is not affected by the connection, rectification mode and working mode of the resonant converter. Compared with the same type of current detection mode, it can work in both the triangle connection and the Y-shaped topology connection mode.

[0052] Furthermore, the control logic for controlling the on and off of the corresponding switch devices in each group of switch devices is:

[0053] When the switching power supply operates in the normal resonant mode, if the diode is turned on and the primary control signal is at a high level, the switch device corresponding to the turned-on diode is controlled to be turned on; if the diode is turned off or the primary control signal is at a low level, the switch device corresponding to the turned-off diode is controlled to be turned off;

[0054] When the switching power supply operates in the secondary side phase shift state, if the diode is turned on and the primary side control signal after the phase shift is at a high level, the switching device corresponding to the turned-on diode is controlled to be turned on; if the diode is turned off or the primary side control signal after the phase shift is at a low level, the switching device corresponding to the turned-off diode is controlled to be turned off.

[0055] Furthermore, the other end of the primary inductance of each current transformer, one end of the secondary inductance of the corresponding current transformer and one end of the secondary inductance of the corresponding transformer are configured as the same-named ends, ensuring that the current flow direction of the detection circuit is consistent with the current flow direction of the rectifier tube.

[0056] Preferably, N is 3, which is beneficial to reduce the current ripple of the switching power supply and save the cost of the switching power supply, and reduce the volume of the system. Figure 3 and Figure 4 The clock N is 3, among which Figure 3The secondary windings of each transformer are connected in a triangle. Figure 4 The secondary windings of each transformer are connected in star shape.
