Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of power supplies, and particularly to a power supply circuit with a linearly decreasing output voltage. Background Art
[0002] In engineering applications, sometimes it is required that the output voltage of a power supply linearly decreases from a certain value. Currently, the output voltage of power supplies is almost stable. To change the output voltage, generally, it is achieved by a manual knob or by voltage setting digital keys.

[0041] The method for regulating the power supply voltage with the output voltage linearly decreasing is as follows:
[0042] Press switch S1, so that the level of port two of the retriggerable monostable flip-flop D1A changes from low to high, then port thirteen Q of the retriggerable monostable flip-flop D1A will output a positive pulse, and the waveform is as Figure 2 shown. The low level of this pulse is 0V, the high level is about 5V, and the width of the pulse is approximately equal to 0.33×R3×C1. It is calculated that the width of the pulse output by the circuit is about 1.8 seconds.
[0043] In the trigger and pulse generation circuit, C1 and R3 determine the width of the output pulse; R1 and R2 are current-limiting resistors; R4 is a grounding resistor; C2 is a power supply filtering capacitor.
[0044] The pulse signal output from port 13 of the retriggerable monostable flip-flop D1A is input to the integration and level shift circuit. After integration and level shift, it becomes a waveform that linearly decreases from approximately 13.2V to approximately 0V within 0 to 1.8 seconds. The waveform is as Figure 3 shown.
[0045] In the integration circuit, R8 and C5 determine the slope of the integration waveform; R9 adjusts the linearity of the waveform; R7 is a bias resistor; S2 and R10 are used to discharge the integration capacitor C5.
[0046] R5, R6 and the +5V power supply provide voltage for level shift, moving the integration waveform upward.
[0047] The output signal of the integration circuit is input to the power drive circuit. At the output terminal VOUT of the power drive circuit, a voltage that linearly decreases from 13.2V to 0V within 0 to 1.8 seconds can be obtained. The waveform is as Figure 4 shown, and the power drive circuit output terminal can output several amperes of current. The power drive circuit consists of an operational amplifier N1A and a Darlington transistor V1 to form a non-inverting amplifier circuit, and V1 operates in the emitter follower form. The output voltage at the VOUT terminal is approximately equal to (1 + R14 / R13)V R11 , V R11 is the input voltage at the left end of R11, that is, the output voltage of the integration and level shift circuit.
[0048] In the power drive circuit, R11 and R12 are current-limiting resistors; R13 and R14 determine the voltage gain of the power drive; the function of V1 is power drive.
[0049] Each time it is triggered, the VOUT terminal outputs a voltage that linearly decreases starting from 13.3V. The switch S2 and R14 are used to discharge and reset the capacitor C5. After discharging, it can be triggered again through S1.
[0050] By changing the resistance value of R3 or the capacitance value of C1, the duration of the linearly changing voltage can be changed; by changing the resistance values of R5 and R6, the amplitude of the level shift can be changed; by changing the resistance values of R8 and C5, the speed of the linear change of the output voltage can be adjusted.
[0051] In summary, the present invention is composed of simple hardware, does not require software, and is easy to promote and apply; compared with the output voltage of the switching power supply being stable and unchanged, the output voltage of the present invention can linearly decrease.
