Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a rectifier for the input stage of a switching power supply, and more particularly to a method for rapid detection of input power failure in a rectifier. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the input stage of a switching power supply typically requires AC-DC conversion, also known as rectification. The rectifier topology is as follows: Figure 1 As shown. When the input stage of the power supply uses uncontrolled rectification, although the circuit operation mode is simple, the uncontrollability of the diodes causes the input current to be non-sinusoidal, containing a large number of harmonic components. This results in a decrease in the power factor of the circuit and an unadjustable output voltage. Therefore, the rectifier is generally controlled to improve the power factor and regulate the output voltage.

[0003] like Figure 2 As shown, the classic rectifier control loop is a closed-loop output voltage-inductor current dual proportional-integral (PI) controller, with the controller consisting of a proportional element and an integral element connected in parallel. The sine wave multiplied by the outer-loop PI controller output is generated by phase-locked loop (PLL) of the input voltage. If a power supply abnormality occurs during rectifier operation, causing a sudden input power failure, both the PLL and the controller will malfunction. At this time, the large capacitor on the DC side still has voltage, potentially leading to an unpredictable circuit state and damaging the circuit hardware. Therefore, it is necessary to block the MOSFET drive pulse after detecting an input power failure to protect the circuit.

[0004] Existing technology and its limitations:

[0005] Existing input power failure detection methods rely on RMS detection, determining a power failure based on the RMS value of the input voltage falling below a set threshold. However, calculating the RMS value requires a full data cycle, resulting in a slow response time. This invention proposes a faster detection method. It constructs a virtual voltage signal similar to the input voltage using the amplitude and frequency obtained from phase-locked loop (PLL) under normal operating conditions. If the ratio of the real voltage signal to the virtual voltage signal is less than a certain threshold, a voltage drop in the real voltage signal is considered to have occurred. This method uses instantaneous values ​​for power failure detection, eliminating delay and providing a significantly faster response compared to the RMS method.

[0006] In view of this, the present invention is hereby proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for rapid detection of rectifier input power failure, so as to solve the above-mentioned technical problems existing in the prior art.

[0012] 2) After the controller is powered on and the phase-locked loop is stable for a period of time, record the current phase θn, then use Us' = Vgridsin(w0t+θn) to construct the virtual voltage signal, and synchronize the phase of Us' with Us every 10 cycles to reduce cumulative error;

[0013] Step two: input power failure detection:

[0014] 1) Set a proportional threshold th;

[0015] 2) In normal state, Us / Us'≈1, which is much larger than th; when Us / Us'<th, it means that the input voltage is powered off, and the drive pulse needs to be blocked for protection.
