Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a kind of through single-chip microcontroller control voltage drop circuit. BACKGROUND

[0002] Unlike linear power supply, switching power supply uses switching transistor, which is mostly switched between full-on mode (saturation region) and full-off mode (cut-off region), both of which have low dissipation characteristics, and the transition between switching has high dissipation, but the time is very short, so it is more energy-saving and produces less waste heat. Ideally, switching power supply itself does not consume power. Voltage stabilization is achieved by adjusting the on and off time of the transistor. On the contrary, in the process of generating output voltage, the transistor of linear power supply works in amplification region, which also consumes power. The high conversion efficiency of switching power supply is one of its great advantages, and because the switching power supply works at high frequency, it can use small size and light weight transformer, so the size of switching power supply is smaller than that of linear power supply, and the weight is also lighter.

[0003] Currently, the switching power supply product circuit with variable voltage on the market has many devices, high cost, great difficulty in production, high failure rate and low production capacity. SUMMARY

[0006] The input end of the rectifier bridge is connected to AC mains, and the positive DC output is connected to the first drive signal output end of the single-chip microcontroller U1 through the switching tube Q1 and the current limiting resistor R1; the second drive signal output end of the single-chip microcontroller U1 forms an output positive pole through the current limiting resistor R2 and the switching tube Q2, and the output positive pole is also connected to the negative DC output of the rectifier bridge through the capacitor C3.

[0007] The positive and negative DC outputs of the rectifier bridge are connected to the capacitor C1; the emitters of the switching tubes Q1 and Q2 are connected to each other and connected to the negative DC output of the rectifier bridge through the capacitor C2.

[0008] The single-chip microcontroller U1 controls the conduction time of the switching tubes Q1 and Q2 to adjust the voltage change of the output positive pole; when the switching tube Q1 is on and the switching tube Q2 is off, the capacitor C2 stores energy; when the switching tube Q1 is off and the switching tube Q2 is on, the energy of the capacitor C2 is transmitted to the capacitor C3 through the switching tube Q2.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the technical scheme of the present application has the following beneficial effects:

[0010] The present application provides a circuit for controlling pressure drop by a single-chip microcomputer, which controls the on-time and off-time of two switching tubes by a single-chip microcomputer U1 to realize the change of output voltage, and when the switching tube Q1 is on and Q2 is off, the energy is stored in the capacitor C2, and when the switching tube Q1 is off and Q2 is on, the energy of the capacitor C2 is transmitted to the capacitor C3 through the switching tube Q2 to store energy for the output voltage, and the change of output voltage can be realized by changing the on-time and off-time of the switching tubes Q1 and Q2.
