Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of electric energy conversion, and in particular to a buck-boost LDO topology method based on a photon electric energy DC-DC converter. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of electronic devices, the demand for efficient, stable and miniaturized power management technology is increasing. Although traditional DC-DC converters have excellent performance in power conversion efficiency, they have problems such as large size, large output ripple and electromagnetic interference (EMI), which makes it difficult to meet the requirements of modern electronic devices for high-quality output.

[0003] LDO is a low-voltage step-down regulator that can maintain a stable output when the input voltage is close to the output voltage, and has the advantages of high efficiency and low noise. These technologies have solved the problem of single input and output forms of photon-to-electric converters to a certain extent, but there is still a lack of an LDO topology that can achieve step-up and step-down.

[0004] As an emerging power conversion technology, photon-to-electric converters convert and transmit energy through light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and photovoltaic cells (PVs), and have the advantages of high-quality power output, low electromagnetic interference, and low output ripple. As an efficient electro-optical conversion device, LEDs can directly convert electrical energy into light energy, while photovoltaic cells use the photovoltaic effect to convert light energy into electrical energy. This electrical-optical-electrical coupling method can theoretically achieve electrical isolation and zero EMI, meeting the needs of high-precision power supplies. Summary of the invention

[0005] The present invention discloses a buck-boost LDO topology method based on a photon electric energy DC-DC converter. The topology utilizes the light-emitting characteristics of LEDs and the photovoltaic effect of photovoltaic cells (PV) to achieve electric energy conversion through light energy transfer. LEDs are used as light sources, PVs are used as receiving ends, and the output voltage is fed back to the error amplifier EA through voltage-dividing resistors (R1, R2). The error amplifier EA adjusts the power tube M according to the feedback signal. P Control the input current of the LED to form a closed-loop voltage stabilization system; aiming to break through the limitation of traditional LDO that cannot boost voltage by converting light energy, combine light energy conversion technology with power management system, design a more efficient and stable power supply solution, and expand its application scenarios.
