Description

Technical Field

[0002] A switching power supply is a power supply that uses modern power electronics technology to control the ratio of the time when the switch is turned on and off to maintain a stable output voltage. As an energy supply device for industrial products, the switching power supply technology is constantly improving with the development and innovation of power electronics technology, and the advantages of low cost and high reliability of switching power supplies are becoming increasingly prominent. When the output power of the existing switching power supply using a fixed-frequency pulse width modulation (PWM) control chip is reduced, it is unable to reduce the operating frequency of the power supply when the power is lightly loaded, resulting in the switching loss of the switch tube not being reduced due to the reduction in output power, high energy consumption, and poor energy-saving and efficiency-enhancing capabilities.

[0012] Embodiment 1

[0013] Please refer to Figure 1 As stated, Figure 1 A structural diagram of a light-load frequency conversion and power-reduction circuit provided for an embodiment of the utility model. As shown in the figure, the light-load frequency conversion and power-reduction circuit in this embodiment includes: a resistor R1, a resistor R2, a capacitor C2, a resistor R3, a transistor E1, and a pulse width modulation chip A1. In this embodiment, one end of the resistor R1 is connected to the output pin OUT of the pulse width modulation chip A1, the other end of the resistor R1 is connected to the base of the transistor E1, the reference pin of the pulse width modulation chip A1 is connected to one end of the resistor R2 and one end of the resistor R3, the other end of the resistor R2 is connected to the collector of the transistor E1, the other end of the resistor R3 is connected to the RT / CT pin of the pulse width modulation chip A1, the emitter of the transistor E1, and one end of the capacitor C1, and the other end of the capacitor C1 is connected to the GND pin of the pulse width modulation chip A1 and then grounded.

[0014] In this embodiment, the transistor E1 is an NPN transistor.

[0015] When working, the conventional pulse width modulation chip presets the output frequency by the RC circuit of the RT / CT frequency control pin. In this embodiment, the 6th pin of the pulse width modulation chip A1 is used to adjust the RC parameters of the 4th pin oscillation through components such as resistor R2, transistor E1, and resistor R1 to change the fixed output frequency. When the output power of the power supply increases, the 6th pin PWM drive duty cycle of the pulse width modulation chip A1 increases, the conduction time of the transistor E1 increases, and the resistor R2 intervenes to increase the PWM frequency adjustment time, thereby improving the load capacity of the entire power supply; when the output power of the power supply decreases, the 6th pin PWM drive duty cycle of the pulse width modulation chip A1 decreases accordingly, the conduction time of the transistor E1 decreases, and the resistor R2 intervenes to reduce the PWM frequency adjustment time, thereby reducing the operating frequency of the power supply when lightly loaded, thereby reducing the switching loss of the switch tube.

[0016] The light-load variable frequency consumption reduction circuit proposed in the embodiment of the utility model is aimed at a switching power supply using a conventional pulse width modulation chip. When the output power of the power supply increases, the PWM frequency time increases to improve the load capacity of the power supply. When the output power of the power supply decreases, the PWM frequency time decreases to reduce the operating frequency of the power supply when it is lightly loaded. The switching loss of the switching tube is reduced, the energy consumption is reduced, energy saving and efficiency improvement are increased, and it is suitable for popularization and application.
