Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of power supply technology, specifically relating to a self-resetting protection circuit for short circuits in the output of a DC regulated power supply, and also to a design method for the self-resetting protection circuit. Background Technology
[0002] Short-circuit protection of regulated power supplies is a challenging problem that may be encountered in practical applications for both linear and switching power supplies. How to provide timely and effective short-circuit protection is a crucial area of research. Power supplies, as a critical component of systems, play a vital role in electronic equipment, from everyday electrical appliances like mobile phones and computers to large aircraft and ships. They are generally classified into AC and DC power supplies. Power supplies provide reliable and stable operating voltages to other operating systems. Under normal circumstances, power supplies operate normally. However, in abnormal operating conditions or special application environments, output short circuits may occur, generating very large short-circuit currents. If protection is not provided in time, serious consequences such as power supply failure or damage to downstream systems may result, causing significant losses.
[0003] DC regulated power supplies provide a stable DC operating voltage for a system. Based on the connection method between the power supply and the load, they are classified into series regulated power supplies and parallel regulated power supplies; based on the operating state of the regulating transistor, they are classified into linear regulated power supplies and switching regulated power supplies; based on the adjustment method, they are classified into simple regulated power supplies and feedback-regulated power supplies, etc. Currently, the most commonly used DC regulated power supply implementations are linear adjustment and switching power supply adjustment. Linear adjustment regulates the output voltage through the linear adjustment characteristics of the regulating transistor, offering advantages such as low output voltage ripple and simple adjustment circuitry, but also disadvantages such as narrow output voltage adjustment range and limited output power. Switching power supplies use pulse width modulation (PWM) technology to transform the input voltage into a high-frequency pulse, which is then passed through an output filter circuit to obtain the required DC voltage. They offer advantages such as flexible adjustment, wide output voltage range, and high power density, but also disadvantages such as larger output ripple voltage and more complex parameter design.
[0004] Currently, output short-circuit protection circuits include digital protection, analog protection, and self-resetting fuse protection, among others. Digital protection is widely used in fully digital control power supply systems. The equivalent resistance of self-resetting fuses changes, making subsequent matching difficult. Analog protection circuits are well-suited for hybrid analog-digital power supply systems due to their simplicity, stability, and reliability, but they also suffer from complex overall circuitry and lack of self-resetting capabilities or poor self-resetting performance.

[0032] The voltage comparison circuit 3 includes a comparator U1. The input terminal IN- of the comparator U1 is connected between resistors R5 and R7, the input terminal IN+ of the comparator U1 is connected between resistors R2 and R8, and the output terminal Vout of the comparator U1 is connected to pin 2 of the NE555.
[0033] The short-circuit recovery signal generation circuit 4 includes a voltage divider short circuit and an anti-reverse current diode D2, as well as resistors R9 and R10 and diode D2. The upper end of resistor R9 is connected to the circuit of resistor R6 and capacitor C2, and the lower end of resistor R9 is connected to the upper end of resistor R10. The lower end of resistor R10 is grounded. The positive terminal of diode D2 is connected to the circuit between resistors R9 and R10, and the negative terminal of diode D2 is connected to the circuit between resistors R2 and R8.

[0043] Under normal operating conditions without a short circuit, the voltage at the non-inverting terminal of comparator U1 is higher than that at the inverting terminal, and comparator U1 outputs a high level. When a short circuit occurs at the output, the voltage at the inverting terminal is maintained by voltage sustaining circuit 1, resulting in a low-level output. This triggers the low-active-weight NE555 monostable circuit, which outputs a continuous blocking pulse for a certain period of time to the PWM controller. The PWM controller stops outputting pulses and no longer transmits energy to the short-circuited terminal. At this time, the short-circuit recovery signal generation circuit 4 acts on the non-inverting terminal of the comparator through diode D2. The voltage at the non-inverting terminal is higher than that at the inverting terminal, and the comparator circuit outputs a high level. The monostable NE555 circuit flips the signal to trigger the PWM controller again. If the short circuit is cleared, the entire circuit restores power supply in a timely manner.

The specific selection principle is that capacitor C1 is charged through diode D1, and the voltage at the inverting terminal of comparator U1 after voltage division by resistors R5 and R7 is lower than the voltage divided by resistors R2 and R8. Step 2: Select the parameters of comparator U1; the specific principle is that after setting the parameters of pull-up resistor R1, the power supply range of comparator U2 should be within the effective low-level trigger voltage range of the subsequent NE555 flip-flop, and the parameters of pull-up resistor R1 should be able to provide a matching operating current. Step 3: Select the values of the time-setting resistor R3 and capacitor C3 for the monostable multivibrator U2 to determine the duration of the high-level output of the monostable circuit.

[0047] Step 2: Select the parameters of comparator U1. Specifically, the parameters of pull-up resistor R1 should be selected. The power supply range of monostable multivibrator U2 should be within the effective low-level trigger voltage range of the subsequent NE555 multivibrator. After selecting the parameters of pull-up resistor R1, it should be able to provide a matching operating current. The value range of the above component parameters is shown in equation (2): (2) In the formula, V cc U is the power supply voltage. oH For the subsequent NE555 chip to identify a valid high level, I oH I is the leakage current of the NE555 chip when it is at a high level. oL This is the maximum sink current of the comparator.
[0048] Step 3: Select the values of the time-setting resistor R3 and capacitor C3 for the monostable multivibrator U2 to determine the duration of the high-level output of the monostable multivibrator U2.
