Description
Technical Field

[0002] The existing multi-mode flyback converter frequency modulation technology controls the frequency output by changing the charging current of the oscillator capacitor. The oscillator capacitor charging time is The charging current I2 is adjustable, and the oscillator capacitor discharge time is Under heavy load conditions, by controlling the charging current I2 to the maximum value, the oscillator outputs the maximum fixed frequency, realizing the pulse width modulation mode (Pulse Width Modulation, PWM); under medium and light load conditions, by controlling the charging current I2 to decrease as the load decreases, the oscillator frequency decreases accordingly, realizing the pulse frequency modulation mode (Pulse Frequency Modulation, PFM); under extremely light load conditions, by controlling the charging current I2 to the minimum value, the oscillator outputs the minimum fixed frequency, realizing the burst modulation mode (Burst Mode, BM). However, in the existing multi-mode flyback converter modulation technology, the oscillator capacitor charge and discharge cycle is It can be seen that in PFM modulation mode, if only the charging current I2 is changed, the period T of the oscillator will not change linearly with the load, and the frequency of the oscillator will not change linearly with the load. That is, when the charging current I2 changes, frequency nonlinearity will occur, and the frequency error will be large when the charging current is used to control the frequency. Moreover, in extremely light load or standby state, if the BM modulation mode uses fixed frequency switching, the converter efficiency will be reduced, and the standby power consumption and switching loss will be high.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, V high >V low , then the charging time of capacitor C is The discharge time is The switching frequency is In this embodiment, the charging current source I1 and the discharging current source I2 are kept unchanged, and the load feedback voltage V FB Adaptive modulation threshold voltage V low , the switching of three modulation modes can be realized.
[0031] The specific implementation principle is: when the load is within the heavy load range, the threshold voltage modulation circuit controls V low Output maximum voltage, V low(max) , the charging time is Discharge time The charge and discharge time is the shortest, the frequency is the highest, and the modulation mode is PWM.
[0032] When the load is medium or light, the threshold voltage modulation circuit controls V low The output decreases as the load decreases, that is, as the feedback voltage V FB The charging time decreases linearly with the decrease of Discharge time The charge and discharge time varies with the load feedback voltage V FB decreases and becomes longer linearly, that is, the frequency increases with the feedback voltage V FB Decreases and increases linearly, and the modulation mode is PFM.

The modulation mode is BM.
[0034] like Figure 2 As shown, the threshold voltage modulation circuit analysis: V REF3 <V REF1 <V REF2
[0035] When the load is within the heavy load range, the load feedback voltage V FB Reaching the reference voltage V REF2 , at this time V REF1 <V REF2 <V FB ; The output burst of comparator comp3 is high level, and the reference voltage of comparator comp3 is V REF3 ; Comparator comp1 output V comp1 is high, transmission gate TG3 is turned on; comparator comp2 output terminal V comp2 is low level, transmission gate TG5 is not conducting; comp1 =1, V comp2 =0, the XNOR gate output Q is 0, and the transmission gate TG4 is not conducting. At this time, the threshold voltage V low Equal to the bias voltage V low(max) , set the bias voltage V low(max) The maximum frequency can be adjusted to achieve PWM.
[0036] When the load is medium or light, V REF1 <V FB <V REF2 , the comparator comp3 output burst is high level, and the reference voltage of comparator comp3 is still V REF3 ; Comparator comp1 output V comp1 is low level, transmission gate TG3 is not conducting; comparator comp2 output terminal V comp2 is low level, transmission gate TG5 is not conducting; comp1 =0, V comp2 =0, the XNOR gate XNOR output Q is 1, and the transmission gate TG4 is turned on.

When the load feedback voltage V FB_1 >V REF4 , the output terminal burst of the comparator comp3 is high level, and the frequency signal OSC outputs the minimum frequency, and this cycle is repeated to realize the switching operation of BM according to the cluster.
[0038] It can be seen that this embodiment has the following advantages:
[0039] 1. The use of mixed digital-analog circuits can achieve low power consumption, especially in extremely light load mode.
[0040] 2. Better reflect the advantages of multi-mode flyback converter modulation technology. By controlling the frequency through the threshold voltage, the oscillator frequency and the load feedback voltage can achieve higher linearity, reduce frequency nonlinearity, and thus achieve more efficient switching of multiple modes, such as Figure 3 As shown in the waveform diagram, it can be seen that under heavy load conditions, the threshold voltage V low Output maximum value, the oscillator outputs the maximum operating frequency; under medium and light load conditions, the threshold voltage V low With the load feedback voltage V FB The oscillator frequency increases linearly with the decrease of load. Under extremely light load conditions, the threshold voltage V low Output minimum value, the oscillator outputs minimum operating frequency, and performs cluster switching operation. The frequency is controlled by threshold voltage to reduce frequency nonlinearity, thereby realizing the switching of multiple modes of the flyback converter, reducing switching losses and improving switching conversion efficiency.
[0041] 3. In the long-term standby state, the BM modulation mode performs switching operations according to clusters and automatically adjusts the cluster spacing according to the load size, which can reduce the switching loss of the converter and improve efficiency.

The larger the load, the higher the feedback voltage V FB Similarly, the smaller the load, the larger the feedback voltage V FB The smaller.
[0044] When the load is within the heavy load range, the load feedback voltage V FB Reaching the reference voltage V REF2 , at this time V REF1 <V REF2 <V FB ; The output burst of comparator comp3 is high level, and the reference voltage of comparator comp3 is V REF3 ; Comparator comp1 output V comp1 is high level, NMOS tube M2 is turned on; comparator comp2 output terminal V comp2 is low level, NMOS tube M3 is turned off; due to V comp1 =1, V comp2 =0, the output of XNOR gate is 0, and NMOS tube M1 is turned off.
