Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of power electronics, in particular to a bipolar output resonant DC-DC converter. BACKGROUND

[0002] Power management integrated circuits (PMICs) are widely used in consumer electronics, industrial control, automotive electronics, aerospace, and energy exploration as the core power supply units of various electronic systems. With the widespread application of high-performance sensors, analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), and precision analog front-end circuits in complex environments, higher requirements are placed on the functionality and reliability of power supplies, especially in extreme conditions such as high temperature and high vibration. The traditional power supply architecture faces severe challenges. At the same time, to meet the needs of precision analog front-end circuits for wide dynamic range and low-noise power supply, power management integrated circuits also need to provide positive and negative voltage outputs to achieve unbiased processing of alternating signals and common-mode noise suppression.

[0003] Currently, bipolar output power supplies are mainly implemented in two ways. The first way is to use two independent DC-DC converters to generate positive and negative voltage outputs, such as using a buck converter to provide positive voltage output and a flyback converter or a buck-boost converter to provide negative voltage output. The second way is to use a single-inductor bipolar output (SIBO) converter structure to simultaneously achieve positive and negative voltage outputs.

[0004] However, when implementing a bipolar output power supply using the above two methods, the first method requires two separate power inductors, which results in a large size, high cost, and low power density of the power management integrated circuit. The second method mainly focuses on step-up in low-voltage power supply scenarios, which results in poor step-down output capability and low conversion efficiency in high-voltage scenarios, and has the problem of two-way cross-regulation / coupling. In addition, as the system operating frequency increases in high-frequency operating scenarios, the hard switching loss of the power stage will increase significantly, which will further deteriorate the conversion efficiency. Furthermore, due to the limitations of system operating frequency and output ripple, most existing designs still require the use of large inductors, limiting further improvement in power density. Therefore, the related art has the problems of poor reliability, low conversion efficiency, and limited power density. SUMMARY

Detailed Implementation

[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this application described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0022] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this application provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed application, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0023] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0024] In the description of this application, it should be noted that the terms "first," "second," "third," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0025] Power management chips, as the power supply hub for all electronic products and devices, are essential electronic components for building efficient, stable, and reliable power systems. However, most current power management chips are researched and designed at room temperature, which results in poor adaptability to high-temperature environments, making them unsuitable for harsh high-temperature operating environments such as deep well drilling and aerospace systems.

[0026] In addition, compared to power electronic converters operating at room temperature, the performance of power electronic converters will significantly decrease when they enter a high-temperature operating environment, such as reduced efficiency, weakened noise immunity, and decreased system reliability.

[0027] For example, in oil and gas applications, electronic equipment typically operates in downhole environments ranging from 150°C to 175°C, and with deeper drilling, downhole temperatures can even reach 200°C. Furthermore, the drill bit vibrates at high frequencies during drilling, affecting the detection accuracy of exploration sensors, analog-to-digital converters, and numerous other analog front-end components. Especially in high-temperature environments, this vibration interference can lead to signal distortion, increased noise, and measurement errors during data acquisition, further deteriorating the reliability and accuracy of the entire system. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop and design a power management chip that can operate efficiently and stably in high-temperature environments to improve the overall performance of the power system.

[0028] In addition, to improve the detection accuracy of precision devices in the analog front end, the power management chip also needs to have the ability to output positive and negative voltage rails in both directions, thereby providing a wider dynamic range and power margin for the signal chain, thus suppressing the noise of the power system and ensuring that the power system can operate efficiently and reliably under harsh conditions.

[0029] Currently, bipolar output power supplies are commonly implemented in two ways. The first is to use two independent DC-DC converters to generate positive and negative outputs respectively, such as using a buck converter to provide the positive output and a flyback or buck-boost converter to provide the negative output. The second is a single-inductor bipolar output converter structure, such as using a single inductor to achieve both positive and negative voltage outputs simultaneously. However, the first method requires two separate power inductors, which leads to a large power management chip, high cost, low power density, and difficulty in achieving power matching and cross-regulation between the two outputs. The second method is mainly for boosting in low-voltage power supply scenarios, resulting in poor buck output capability and low conversion efficiency in high-voltage scenarios, and also suffers from cross-regulation / coupling issues between the two outputs. In addition, as the system operating frequency increases in high-frequency scenarios, the hard switching losses of the power stage will increase significantly, leading to further deterioration in conversion efficiency. Furthermore, due to limitations in system operating frequency and output ripple, most existing designs still require the use of large inductors, limiting further increases in power density. Therefore, the solutions disclosed in the relevant technologies suffer from poor reliability, low conversion efficiency, and limited power density.

[0030] To address this, this application provides a bipolar output resonant DC-DC converter, comprising an input half-bridge, a resonant network, an output half-bridge, and a control circuit. The control terminals of both the input and output half-bridges are connected to the output terminal of the control circuit. An input signal is received at the input terminal of the input half-bridge, one output terminal of the input half-bridge is connected to one end of the resonant network, and the other output terminal is grounded. The input terminal of the output half-bridge is connected to the other end of the resonant network, one output terminal of the output half-bridge outputs a positive voltage, and the other output terminal outputs a negative voltage. This application uses the control circuit to control the power switches in the input and output half-bridges to cyclically turn on and off within a preset operating cycle, thereby achieving bidirectional energy transfer through the resonant network. This optimizes the operating mode of the power switches in the DC-DC converter, reducing switching losses and improving conversion efficiency. Furthermore, by optimizing the operating mode of the power switches, this application addresses the problem of the operating frequency being limited by switching losses in existing circuit architectures, thereby increasing power density. Thus, it achieves the effects of improving the reliability, conversion efficiency, and power density of the bipolar output power supply.

The input half-bridge 101 and the output half-bridge 103 are cyclically turned on or off within a preset working cycle under the control signal output by the control circuit 104, so as to realize the bidirectional energy transfer of the resonant network 102.

[0042] Optionally, the resonant network 102 is composed of components such as non-polar capacitors and inductors. One end of the resonant network 102 is connected to the first output terminal of the input half-bridge 101, and the other end of the resonant network 102 is connected to the input terminal of the output half-bridge 103, thereby realizing bidirectional energy transfer between the input half-bridge 101 and the output half-bridge 103.

[0043] Optionally, the preset working cycle is the cyclic working cycle of the bipolar output resonant DC-DC converter 10 preset by the user. The bipolar output resonant DC-DC converter 10 has multiple working modes in the preset working cycle, and the bipolar output resonant DC-DC converter 10 switches cyclically according to these working modes within the preset working cycle.

[0044] In this embodiment, the bipolar output resonant DC-DC converter includes an input half-bridge, a resonant network, an output half-bridge, and a control circuit. The input terminal of the input half-bridge is used to receive the input signal. The first output terminal of the input half-bridge is connected to one end of the resonant network, and the second output terminal of the input half-bridge is grounded. The other end of the resonant network is connected to the output terminal of the output half-bridge. Both the first and second output terminals of the resonant network are connected to an external load. The first output terminal of the output half-bridge is used to output a positive voltage, and the second output terminal of the output half-bridge is used to output a negative voltage. The control terminals of both the input and output half-bridges are connected to the control circuit. An LC resonant network is positioned between the input and output half-bridges, providing a bidirectional energy transfer bridge. By introducing a small inductor, the LC resonant network eliminates the large pulse current of the capacitor, achieving high energy utilization and expanding load capacity while maintaining high conversion efficiency and power density. The control circuit switches the switching sequence of the power switches in the input and output half-bridges within a preset operating cycle to adjust the operating mode of the resonant network, enabling the entire system to have continuous output voltage regulation capabilities. Furthermore, the power switches in the input and output half-bridges cycle on and off within a preset duty cycle, enabling bidirectional energy transfer in the resonant network. This optimizes the operating mode of the power switches in the DC-DC converter, thereby reducing switching losses and improving conversion efficiency. Ultimately, this improves the reliability, conversion efficiency, and power density of the bipolar output power supply.

[0045] In one alternative implementation, see [link to implementation details]. Figure 2 The resonant network 102 of the bipolar output resonant DC-DC converter 10 provided in this application embodiment includes: a first capacitor 1021 and an inductor 1022; the input half-bridge 101 includes: a first switch 1011 and a second switch 1012; and the output half-bridge 103 includes: a third switch 1031 and a fourth switch 1032.

[0046] Optionally, the input half-bridge 101 and output half-bridge 103 of the bipolar output resonant DC-DC converter 10 are each composed of two switches. The input half-bridge 101 is composed of a first switch 1011 and a second switch 1012, and the output half-bridge 103 is composed of a third switch 1031 and a fourth switch 1032. All four switches—the first switch 1011, the second switch 1012, the third switch 1031, and the fourth switch 1032—are implemented using high-voltage power switches.

[0047] Optionally, the resonant network 102 is formed by a first capacitor 1021 and an inductor 1022 connected in series. The first capacitor 1021 is a small-value resonant capacitor, and the inductor 1022 is a resonant inductor. That is, the resonant network 102 is an LC resonant network composed of a resonant capacitor and a resonant inductor. The resonant network 102 is disposed between the input half-bridge 101 and the output half-bridge 103, serving as the energy transmission bridge and intermediate storage medium of the bipolar output resonant DC-DC converter 10.

[0048] One end of the first capacitor 1021 is connected to the output terminal of the first switch 1011 and the input terminal of the second switch 1012. The other end of the first capacitor 1021 is connected to one end of the inductor 1022. The other end of the inductor 1022 is connected to the input terminal of the third switch 1031 and the input terminal of the fourth switch 1032. The input terminal of the first switch 1011 is used to receive the input signal, and the output terminal of the first switch 1011 is also connected to the input terminal of the second switch 1012, and the output terminal of the second switch 1012 is grounded; the input terminal of the third switch 1031 is also connected to the input terminal of the fourth switch 1032, and the output terminals of the third switch 1031 and the fourth switch 1032 are both connected to the external load. The control terminals of the first switch 1011, the second switch 1012, the third switch 1031, and the fourth switch 1032 are all connected to the output terminal of the control circuit 104. The voltage node connecting the output terminal of the first switch 1011 and the input terminal of the second switch 1012 serves as the input switch voltage node. The voltage node connecting the input terminal of the third switch 1031 and the input terminal of the fourth switch 1032 serves as the output switch voltage node. The output terminal of the third switch 1031 is used to output a positive voltage, and the output terminal of the fourth switch 1032 is used to output a negative voltage.

[0049] It should be noted that the bipolar output resonant DC-DC converter 10 provided in this application embodiment fully utilizes the structure of an LC resonant network. Compared with traditional inductor-type converters, by introducing a smaller resonant capacitor (i.e., the first capacitor 1021), the utilization rate of the inductor 1022 can be improved and the size of the inductor can be reduced. In addition, due to the resonant operating mode of the LC resonant network, the inductor current of the inductor 1022 can transfer energy through both positive and negative polarities. This not only facilitates the output of a negative polarity voltage by the bipolar output resonant DC-DC converter 10, but also lays the foundation for zero-voltage switching of all power switches in the bipolar output resonant DC-DC converter 10.

[0050] Furthermore, compared to traditional single-inductor bipolar output converters, this application employs fewer power switches, smaller inductors, and smaller capacitors (such as the first capacitor 1021 with a capacitance of approximately 2nF), which can significantly improve the power density of the converter.

[0051] Furthermore, since the bipolar output resonant DC-DC converter 10 can achieve zero-voltage turn-on of all switches, the hard switching losses of the power switching transistors are greatly reduced, enabling power systems using this bipolar output resonant DC-DC converter 10 to operate efficiently at higher operating frequencies.

[0052] It should also be noted that the operating frequency of the bipolar output resonant DC-DC converter 10 provided in this application embodiment is mainly determined by the resonant frequency of the resonant network 102. The higher the operating frequency of the bipolar output resonant DC-DC converter 10, the smaller the specifications of the resonant capacitor and resonant inductor used in the bipolar output resonant DC-DC converter 10. This not only reduces the size of the passive components in the bipolar output resonant DC-DC converter 10, but also greatly improves the power density of the system.

[0053] In the following figures, Cr indicates the first capacitor 1021, L indicates the inductor 1022, S1 indicates the first switch 1011, S2 indicates the second switch 1012, S3 indicates the third switch 1031, S4 indicates the fourth switch 1032, Vin indicates the input signal, Vop indicates the positive output voltage, and Von indicates the negative output voltage.

[0054] Figure 3 For a schematic diagram of the operating mode of the first-stage bipolar output resonant DC-DC converter provided in this application, please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 3 In the first stage, the control circuit controls the first switch S1 and the third switch S3 to turn on, and controls the second switch S2 and the fourth switch S4 to turn off. The input signal Vin simultaneously charges the positive output terminal Vop and the resonant network LC. All current flows through the inductor L. The positive output terminal Vop and the resonant capacitor Cr receive the same amount of charge Q1. The entire bipolar output resonant DC-DC converter 10 adopts the peak current control mode. When the inductor current of the inductor L reaches the threshold value set by the error amplifier (this threshold value is generated by comparing the voltage divider signal Vfbp of the positive output terminal Vop with the preset reference voltage Vrefp through the error amplifier, and then adjusting the output voltage threshold through the type II compensator), at this time, see Figure 4The system controls the first switch S1 to turn off, the second switch S2 to turn on, the third switch S3 to remain on, and the fourth switch S4 to remain off. The bipolar output resonant DC-DC converter 10 enters its second stage. The voltage difference across the resonant network 102 changes from Vin-Vop to -Vop, and the inductor L begins to release energy. The inductor current of inductor L gradually decreases, but the current direction remains unchanged (the current direction is still positive from left to right). During this process, the positive output terminal Vop and the resonant capacitor Cr continue to acquire charge Q2. When the zero-crossing detection circuit detects that the inductor current of inductor L has decreased to zero, the third switch S3 is turned off, and the fourth switch S4 is turned on, completing the second stage of the bipolar output resonant DC-DC converter 10.

[0055] During the entire positive half-cycle of the inductor current (i.e., the first stage of charging and the second stage of releasing energy), the inductor L does not accumulate energy, but only plays the role of transmitting charge and energy, so that the positive output terminal Vop and the resonant capacitor Cr obtain the same amount of charge Q1+Q2.

[0056] Figure 5 For a schematic diagram of the operating mode of the third-stage bipolar output resonant DC-DC converter provided in this application, please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 5 In the third stage, the bipolar output resonant DC-DC converter 10 enters the reverse energy transfer stage. Due to the periodic change in the direction of the resonant current in the resonant network 102, the resonant current of the resonant network 102 is now negative. The bipolar output resonant DC-DC converter 10 draws charge Q3 from the negative output terminal Von. At this time, only the inductor L discharges, and the amount of charge released by the capacitor Cr is equal to the amount of charge released by the negative output terminal Von. According to the law of conservation of charge, Q1 + Q2 = Q3, that is, Qop = |Qon|. Furthermore, before the bipolar output resonant DC-DC converter 10 enters the third stage, there is no energy stored in the inductor L; all energy is stored in the resonant capacitor Cr. After one complete negative half-cycle of resonant operation, all the energy in the resonant network 102 is released to the negative output terminal Von. After the power stage completes one large cycle, it returns to the first stage operating mode.

[0057] Optionally, according to the principles of energy conservation and charge conservation, the average voltage across the resonant capacitor Cr in the bipolar output resonant DC-DC converter 10 is equal to the voltage at the positive output terminal Vop. During the positive half-cycle, the energy gained by the resonant capacitor Cr is the same as the energy gained by the positive output terminal Vop; during the negative half-cycle, all the energy gained by the resonant capacitor Cr is released to the negative output terminal Von. In summary, the positive output terminal Vop and the negative output terminal Von gain the same energy, and the voltages at the positive output terminal Vop and the negative output terminal Von are equal in magnitude but opposite in polarity, thus achieving bipolar output.

[0058] Therefore, the bipolar output resonant DC-DC converter 10 provided in this application embodiment, based on the variable conversion ratio operation of the resonant network 102, enables it to provide good voltage regulation capability over a wide conversion range, thereby achieving efficient and high power density bipolar output.

[0059] Figure 6 For a schematic diagram of the operating mode of the fourth-stage bipolar output resonant DC-DC converter provided in this application, please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 6 In the fourth stage, the fourth switch S4 remains on, but the second switch S2 needs to be turned off earlier. During this stage, the first switch S1 and the third switch S3 are not yet on, and a small negative current still exists in the resonant inductor L. Due to the early turn-off of the second switch S2, the negative current flows through the fourth switch S4 and charges the input switch voltage node Vinsw through the parasitic capacitance path, raising the voltage of the input switch voltage node Vinsw to near Vin. This ensures that when the first switch S1 is about to turn on, the voltage between the drain and source of the first switch S1 is close to zero, thus achieving zero-voltage turn-on of the first switch S1. It should be noted that the turn-off time of the second switch S2 is not fixed but dynamically adjusted by the adaptive zero-voltage turn-on adjustment module 1043. If zero-voltage turn-on occurs too early, the timing of the next turn-off of the second switch S2 needs to be delayed; if zero-voltage turn-on is established too late, or even not established at all, and the system is in a hard-switching state, the timing of the next turn-off of the second switch S2 needs to be relatively earlier. In this way, it can be ensured that the voltage across the first switch S1 is zero before it is turned on, and that it is in a perfect zero-voltage start-up state, thereby reducing switch stress and losses.

[0060] Figure 7 For the operating waveform diagram of a bipolar output resonant DC-DC converter provided in this application, please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 7In the first stage, both the first switch S1 and the third switch S3 are turned on under the control of the control circuit, while both the second switch S2 and the fourth switch S4 are turned off under the control of the control circuit. The voltage at the input switch voltage node Vinsw is pulled up to near Vin by the first switch S1, and the voltage at the output switch voltage node Vosw is pulled up to the voltage at the positive output terminal Vop by the third switch S3. The voltage across the resonant network LC composed of capacitor Cr and inductor L is equal to (Vin - Vop). The input voltage Vin charges the resonant network and simultaneously supplies power to the positive output terminal Vop. The inductor current I(L) is... Starting from zero, the voltage and current I(L) increase sinusoidally. When the voltage and current reach the peak threshold set by the error amplifier, the comparator is triggered to flip, generating a control signal to control the switch switching state, entering the second stage. In the second stage, the third switch S3 remains on, the fourth switch S4 remains off, the first switch S1 is turned off under the control of the control circuit, and the second switch S2 is turned on under the control of the control circuit. The inductor current I(L) begins to decrease, but it is still positive. The voltage at the input switch voltage node Vinsw is pulled down to zero due to the on state of the second switch S2. Near the voltage level, the voltage at the output switch voltage node Vosw is still approximately the voltage at the positive output terminal Vop. Capacitor Cr continues to charge, and inductor L releases energy to maintain the continuous charging of the positive output terminal Vop and capacitor Cr. In the second stage, charge accumulation for the positive half-cycle is completed solely by the energy stored in the resonant network of the first stage. When the inductor current I(L) is 0, the zero-crossing detection circuit triggers the corresponding control signal, controlling the third switch S3 to turn off and the fourth switch S4 to turn on, thus entering the third stage. In the third stage, the first switch S1 remains off, the second switch S2 remains on, and the third switch S3... The control circuit turns off the circuit and turns on the fourth switch S4. The inductor current I(L) changes from positive to negative. The inductor current I(L) increases from zero in a sinusoidal direction. The current flows from the resonant capacitor Cr through the inductor L and then to the negative output terminal Von. The voltage of the output switch voltage node Vosw is pulled down by the fourth switch S4 to the voltage of the negative output terminal Von. The voltage of the capacitor Cr begins to drop, and the resonant capacitor Cr begins to release energy. The energy stored in the resonant capacitor Cr in the first and second stages is transferred to the negative output terminal Von through the inductor current during the negative half-cycle of the current.Therefore, based on the above analysis, the energy obtained by the positive output terminal Vop is equal to the energy obtained by the negative output terminal Von. Furthermore, if the load is the same, the voltage of the positive output terminal Vop is also equal to the voltage of the negative output terminal Von, thus achieving bipolar output with the same power. When the inductor current I(L) rises from the maximum negative current to zero, it will prepare to return to the first stage again. However, at this time, a fourth stage needs to be introduced to achieve zero-voltage turn-on of the first switch S1. In the fourth stage, the first switch S1 and the third switch S3 remain off, the fourth switch S4 remains on, and the second switch S2 needs to be turned off in advance. In this stage, there is still a small negative current in the inductor L. Due to the early turn-off of the second switch S2, the negative current flows through the fourth switch S4 and charges the input switch voltage node Vinsw through the parasitic capacitance path, raising the voltage of the input switch voltage node Vinsw to close to Vin. This makes the voltage between the drain and source of the first switch S1 close to zero voltage when the first switch S1 is about to turn on, thus achieving zero-voltage turn-on of the first switch S1. The adaptive zero-voltage turn-on adjustment module automatically generates an adaptive reference voltage ZVS_Ref, which is compared with the ramp signal generated by the ramp signal generation circuit to determine the turn-off timing of the second switch S2. Finally, through a continuous feedback adjustment mechanism, the com_zvs signal is synchronized with the Ntrigger signal, thereby ensuring the optimal zero-voltage turn-on of the first switch S1 in steady state.

[0090] It should be noted that the four power switches, namely the first switch 1011, the second switch 1012, the third switch 1031 and the fourth switch 1032, in the bipolar output resonant DC-DC converter 10 provided in this application embodiment are two pairs of half-bridge structures controlled by non-overlapping signals.

[0092] Figure 9 For a freewheeling schematic diagram of the state switching of the first bipolar output resonant DC-DC converter provided in this application, see [link to schematic diagram]. Figure 9 During the switching process of the bipolar output resonant DC-DC converter 10 from the first stage to the second stage, the first switch S1 is turned off and the second switch S2 is about to turn on. At this time, during the dead time, since the current direction of the inductor L is positive, the inductor current cannot change abruptly. The inductor current is instead provided by the body diode of the second switch S2 for forward freewheeling. Therefore, the voltage of the input switch voltage node Vinsw will drop to VSS (ground) - Vdiode (Vdiode is the forward voltage drop of the parasitic body diode of the power switch) before the second switch S2 turns on. This will make the voltage difference across the second switch S2 close to zero before the second switch S2 is officially turned on, and there is no overlap loss caused by the switch. Therefore, the second switch S2 is a naturally zero-voltage turn-on transistor.

[0093] Figure 10 For a freewheeling schematic diagram of the state switching of the second type of bipolar output resonant DC-DC converter provided in this application, please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 10During the transition from the second stage to the third stage of the bipolar output resonant DC-DC converter 10, the third switch S3 is turned off, and the fourth switch S4 is about to turn on. During this transition, the inductor current is about to switch from positive to negative, and this is detected and triggered by the zero-crossing detection circuit. Due to the signal propagation delay between the zero-crossing detection circuit and the logic gate circuit, the inductor current of inductor L has already changed from positive to negative before the fourth switch S4 turns on. At this time, the body diode of the fourth switch S4 conducts, providing negative freewheeling current for the inductor current. Therefore, the voltage at the output switch voltage node Vosw is pulled down to Von-Vdiode (Vdiode is the forward voltage drop of the parasitic body diode of the power switch) due to the conduction of the body diode of the fourth switch S4. This makes the voltage difference between the drain and source of the fourth switch S4 close to 0 before the fourth switch S4 is fully turned on, thus eliminating the overlapping losses caused by voltage and current when the fourth switch S4 turns on. Therefore, the fourth switch S4 is a naturally zero-voltage turn-on transistor.

[0094] Figure 11 For a freewheeling schematic diagram of the state switching of the third type of bipolar output resonant DC-DC converter provided in this application, please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 11 In the case where the bipolar output resonant DC-DC converter 10 does not incorporate an adaptive zero-voltage switching mode, the second switch S2 and the fourth switch S4 are turned off, and the first switch S1 and the third switch S3 are about to turn on. The inductor current is about to switch from negative to positive, and this moment is detected and triggered by the zero-crossing detection circuit. Due to the signal propagation delay between the zero-crossing detection circuit and the logic gate circuit, the inductor current has already flipped from positive to negative to negative to positive before the third switch S3 turns on. At this time, the body diode of the third switch S3 is conducting to provide a freewheeling path for the positive inductor current. This makes the voltage difference between the drain and source of the third switch S3 close to 0 before the third switch S3 is fully turned on, so that there is no overlap loss caused by voltage and current when the third switch S3 turns on. Therefore, the third switch S3 is a natural zero-voltage turn-on transistor. However, for the first switch S1, its body diode points from the input switch voltage node Vinsw to the input terminal Vin. Therefore, before the first switch S1 is turned on, a slightly greater than zero forward inductor current freewheels through the body diode of the second switch S2, not the first switch S1. Furthermore, the voltage at the input switch voltage node Vinsw before the first switch S1 is turned on is VSS - Vdiode. However, since the current flowing through the first switch S1 is close to zero, the first switch S1 is a zero-current turn-on power switch, not a zero-voltage turn-on switch. But because the parasitic capacitance on the first switch S1 still needs to discharge when it is turned on, this results in significant voltage and current overlap losses. Therefore, the first switch S1 is a hard switch.

[0095] Figure 12For the waveform diagram of the bipolar output resonant DC-DC converter provided in this application within a preset duty cycle, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 12 In the first stage, both the first switch S1 and the third switch S3 are turned on under the control of the control circuit, while the second switch S2 and the fourth switch S4 are turned off under the control of the control circuit. The inductor current of the resonant inductor L is a positive current, and the inductor current increases sinusoidally from 0. The input switch voltage node Vinsw is pulled up to the input voltage Vin due to the conduction of the first switch S1. In the second stage, the third switch S3 remains on, the fourth switch S4 remains off, the first switch S1 is turned off under the control of the control circuit, and the second switch S2 is turned on under the control of the control circuit. The inductor current of the resonant inductor L is still a positive current, but the resonant current decreases in the positive direction and approaches 0. The input switch voltage node Vinsw is pulled down to zero due to the turn-off of the first switch S1 and the conduction of the second switch S2. In the third stage, the first switch S1 remains off, the second switch S2 remains on, the third switch S3 is turned off under the control of the control circuit, and the fourth switch S4 is turned on under the control of the control circuit. At this point, the current direction of the resonant inductor L becomes negative, and the inductor current increases sinusoidally from 0. The input switch node Vinsw remains at zero voltage due to the continued conduction of the second switch S2. In the fourth stage, the first switch S1 and the third switch S3 remain off, the fourth switch S4 remains on, and the second switch S2 is turned off early under the control of the adaptive zero-voltage turn-on circuit. Since the first switch S1 and the second switch S2 are both off, the input switch node becomes a high-resistance node. At the same time, since the inductor current of the resonant inductor L is still negative and decreases from the peak of the negative current to 0, the input switch node Vinsw, which is in a high-resistance state, is pre-charged, and finally, the first switch S1 is perfectly soft-turned at the beginning of the next stage.

[0096] Figure 13 For the working waveform diagram of the zero-voltage start-up of the first switch provided in this application, please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 13 When the second switch S2 is turned off in advance under the control of the adaptive zero-voltage turn-on circuit, the bipolar output resonant DC-DC converter 10 charges the input switch voltage node Vinsw through the negative resonant current of the resonant network 102. The voltage difference across the first switch S1 decreases continuously from VIN until it drops to zero. The pre-charging stage of the Vinsw node is completed, thus making the soon-to-be-conducted S1 turn on with zero voltage.

[0097] Figure 14 For a freewheeling schematic diagram of the state switching of the fourth type of bipolar output resonant DC-DC converter provided in this application, please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 14In the case of the adaptive zero-voltage switching mode added to the bipolar output resonant DC-DC converter 10, the second switch S2 is no longer turned off by the zero-crossing detection circuit from negative to positive, but is controlled by the adaptive zero-voltage turn-on adjustment module 1043. In the third stage of the bipolar output resonant DC-DC converter 10, the inductor current of the bipolar output resonant DC-DC converter 10 is negative. The negative inductor current in the third stage is used to charge the input switch voltage node Vinsw, so that the voltage of the input switch voltage node Vinsw reaches the voltage of the input terminal Vin or Vin+Vdiode before the first switch S1 is turned on.

[0098] To achieve the above function, the second switch S2 needs to be turned off in advance before the bipolar output resonant DC-DC converter 10 completes the third stage. Turning off the second switch S2 in advance will not affect the power transmission of the bipolar output resonant DC-DC converter 10.

[0099] Furthermore, the turn-off timing of the second switch S2 is determined by the adaptive zero-voltage turn-on adjustment module 1043. If the second switch S2 turns off too early, the dead time will be too long, resulting in an excessively long conduction time for the body diode of the first switch S1. While this alleviates switching losses, it also causes excessive body diode conduction losses. Therefore, this application can continuously optimize the turn-off time of the second switch S2 through a feedback adjustment mechanism, enabling the second switch S2 to turn off at the most appropriate time, thereby achieving zero-voltage turn-on for all power switches and fully leveraging the advantages of the resonant network 102.

[0100] For example, if the input voltage of the bipolar output resonant DC-DC converter is 36V, the output voltage is ±5V, and the output current is 2A, the working process and adaptive zero-voltage regulation process of the bipolar output resonant DC-DC converter are as follows: First, when the bipolar output resonant DC-DC converter is in the first stage, both the first switch S1 and the third switch S3 are turned on. The input signal Vin simultaneously charges the positive output terminal Vop and the resonant network LC. All currents flow through the inductor L. The voltage difference Vc across the resonant capacitor Cr and the current across the inductor L both show a sinusoidal trend and continue to rise. At this time, the voltage difference across the resonant network LC is Vin-Vop. During this process, the positive output terminal Vop and the resonant capacitor Cr receive the same charge Q1. The inductor current is converted into a voltage signal of the equivalent sensing resistance Ri through the zero-crossing detection circuit (where Ri is the gain of the zero-crossing detection circuit), and compared with the error amplification signal Vea of ​​the output voltage. The output signal Vcom of the third comparator is used as a control signal to reset the third SR flip-flop. The clock signal CLK1 is at a low level, and then the clock signal CLK1 causes the gate drive signal of the first switch S1 to drop to a low level through the second non-overlapping clock generator, so as to drive the first switch S1 to turn off. At the same time, its complementary signal (the signal received by the set terminal of the second SR flip-flop 435) rises to a high level, and again serves as a control signal. Through the set signal of the second SR flip-flop, the gate drive signal of the second switch S2 is pulled up to a high level, so as to drive the third switch S3 to open. The bipolar output resonant DC-DC converter enters the second stage.

[0101] Secondly, in the second stage, the voltage difference across the resonant network LC changes from Vin-Vop to -Vop, and the inductor L begins to release energy. The inductor current gradually decreases in a sinusoidal waveform. Compared to the first stage, due to the increased voltage difference across the resonant network LC, the rate of change of the inductor current accelerates, but the current direction remains unchanged (still positive). The voltage difference Vc across the resonant capacitor Cr continues to rise in a sinusoidal trend, and the positive output terminal Vop and the resonant capacitor Cr continue to acquire charge Q2. When the zero-crossing detection circuit detects that the inductor current of the inductor L in the resonant network LC has decreased to zero, the output terminal positive half-cycle end signal Ptrigger is triggered, outputting a high-level pulse signal to reset the gate of the third switch S3 and the first SR flip-flop connected to the gate of the fourth switch S4. This causes the clock signal CLK2 to drop to a low level. The clock signal CLK2 then drives the gate drive signal of the third switch S3 to drop to a low level and the gate drive signal of the fourth switch S4 to rise to a high level through the first non-overlapping clock generator, so that the third switch S3 is turned off and the fourth switch S4 is turned on, thus completing the second stage.

[0102] During the entire positive half-cycle of the inductor current, the inductor L does not accumulate energy; it only serves to transfer charge and energy. This will ensure that both the positive output terminal Vop and the resonant capacitor Cr receive the same amount of charge Q1+Q2.

[0103] In the third stage, the bipolar output resonant DC-DC converter enters the reverse energy transfer stage. Utilizing the periodic change in the direction of the resonant current in the LC resonant network, the resonant current direction is negative, drawing charge Q3 from the negative output terminal Von. At this time, since there is only one path for inductor L to discharge, the amount of charge released by capacitor Cr is equal to the amount of charge released by the negative output terminal Von. According to the law of conservation of charge, Q1 + Q2 = Q3, that is, Qop = |Qon|. Furthermore, before entering the third stage, there is no energy stored in inductor L; all energy is stored in the resonant capacitor Cr. After a complete negative half-cycle of resonant operation, the resonant current decreases continuously from negative and then crosses zero, flipping to positive. The negative current end signal Ntrigger of the zero-crossing detection circuit is triggered, outputting a high-level pulse signal, which sets clock signals CLK1 and CLK2 to high level, thereby driving the first switch S1 and the third switch S3 to open and the fourth switch S4 to close. The bipolar output resonant DC-DC converter then re-enters the first stage. Based on the principles of energy and charge conservation and energy conservation, the positive output terminal Vop and the negative output terminal Von obtain the same energy, and the voltage magnitudes of the positive output terminal Vop and the negative output terminal Von are equal but the polarities are opposite, thus achieving a bipolar output of ±5V.

[0104] Furthermore, in the third stage of the adaptive zero-voltage operating mode, the turn-off of the second switch S2 is no longer triggered by the negative current termination signal Ntrigger, but is controlled by the adaptive zero-voltage turn-on regulation module designed in this application. See also Figure 12 , Figure 13 , Figure 14 as well as Figure 8The control logic and circuit structure of the adaptive zero-voltage turn-on adjustment module are shown. During the turn-on phase of the second switch S2, the inverted signal of the gate drive signal of the second switch S2 is low, and the ramp signal generation circuit is activated. When the voltage on the upper plate of capacitor Ccharge rises to the adaptive reference voltage ZVS_Ref generated by the PLL (phase-locked loop), the third comparator generates a reset signal S3RST for the second switch S2 to turn off the second switch S2 in advance. At this time, the inductor current of inductor L in the resonant network LC is still a negative current. The negative current in this additional stage (fourth stage) is used to charge the input switch voltage node Vinsw, so that before the first switch S1 is turned on, the voltage value of the input switch voltage node Vinsw reaches the voltage value of the input signal Vin (or Vin+Vdiode), thereby realizing the soft start of the first switch S1. When the first switch S1 establishes a zero-voltage turn-on state, the voltage value of the input switch voltage node Vinsw is greater than the voltage value of the input signal Vin. The third comparator, as the identification circuit for the completion of the zero-voltage state establishment, generates a com_zvs signal. The peak current control module compares the com_zvs signal with the negative current end signal Ntrigger to identify the phase difference. If the com_zvs signal precedes the negative current end signal Ntrigger, it indicates that the second switch S2 turns off too early. The first D flip-flop controlling the charging current is set to raise the adaptive reference voltage ZVS_Ref potential, thus delaying the turn-off time of the second switch S2. If the com_zvs signal lags behind the negative current end signal Ntrigger, it indicates that the second switch S2 turns off too late. The second D flip-flop controlling the discharge current is set to slowly discharge the adaptive reference voltage ZVS_Ref, thus advancing the turn-off time of the second switch S2. Under steady state, the com_zvs signal is synchronized with the negative current termination signal Ntrigger through the phase-locked loop (PLL) so that the adaptive reference voltage ZVS_Ref that controls the second switch S2 to turn off remains unchanged, the adaptive adjustment of zero voltage opening is completed, and the first switch S1 remains in the zero voltage open state.
