Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a switching power supply, in particular to a synchronous rectification drive control circuit applied to a secondary side of the switching power supply and the switching power supply. Background Art
[0002] In all switching power converter secondary bridge synchronous rectification circuits, the synchronous rectifiers on the secondary side need to be driven by high- and low-side driver chips. The high-side reference terminals of the high- and low-side driver chips are the source terminals of the upper tubes on the bridge arms. Therefore, the withstand voltage of the high-side reference pins of the high- and low-side driver chips needs to be greater than or equal to the voltage stress of the secondary synchronous rectifiers. In low-voltage output switching power supplies, due to the reverse recovery caused by transformer leakage inductance and high output current, the voltage stress spikes of the secondary synchronous rectifiers will be very high. Therefore, high- and low-side driver chips with higher withstand voltage levels are required to meet reliability requirements.
[0003] The existing high-side and low-side driver chips with a high withstand voltage level have a large static operating current at the high-side power supply end, generally reaching several hundred microamperes. This results in the output voltage still floating high when the switching power supply is shut down by input undervoltage or remote control under no-load conditions, although the drive signal is turned off. This voltage is actually provided by the power supply end of the drive control module. The existing solution is mainly to power the drive control chip by sampling or coupling the output voltage. Since the input voltage range of the existing drive control chip is relatively narrow, this method is suitable for switching power supplies with a narrow adjustable output voltage range. In addition, the coupling solution adds an extra winding, especially for planar transformers that are designed with the same board as the control circuit PCB. The design of adding a winding to the planar transformer will reduce the utilization rate of the PCB, making it difficult for the product design to meet the high power density requirements.

[0022] Specifically, when the switching power supply operates normally, the enable control signal LDO_EN is at a high level, and when the switching power supply triggers input undervoltage protection or remote control shutdown under no-load conditions, the enable control signal LDO_EN is at a low level.
[0023] The drive control module includes a diode D1, a diode D2, a diode D3, a capacitor C5, a capacitor C6, a resistor R11, a resistor R12, and a drive control chip U2; the connection point between pin 1 of the drive control chip U2 and one end of the capacitor C5 and the anode of the diode D1 is used as the power input end of the drive control chip U2 and is connected to the output end of the enable voltage-stabilized power supply module; pins 2 and 3 of the drive control chip U2 are used as the signal input ends of the chip and are respectively connected to the output signals PWM 1A and PWM 1A of the signal control module. 0A is connected; the 4th, 5th and 11th pins of the drive control chip U2 are connected to the other end of the capacitor C5 as the reference ground of the chip; the 6th pin of the drive control chip U2 is connected to the cathode of the diode D3 and one end of the resistor R12 as the low-side output end of the chip; the anode of the diode D3 and the other end of the resistor R12 are connected to the input signal G2 (the control end of the low-side switch tube) of the synchronous rectifier module as the low-side output end of the drive control module; the 9th pin of the drive control chip U2 is connected to the cathode of the diode D2 and one end of the resistor R11 as the high-side output end of the chip; the anode of the diode D2 and the other end of the resistor R11 are connected to the input signal G1 (the control end of the high-side switch tube) of the synchronous rectifier module as the high-side output end of the drive control module; the connection point between the 8th pin of the drive control chip U2 and one end of the capacitor C6 is connected to the middle point of the bridge arm of the synchronous rectifier module as the high-side reference end of the drive control module; the 10th pin of the drive control chip U2 is connected to the cathode of the diode D1 and the other end of the capacitor C6 as the high-side power supply end of the chip.
[0024] Specifically, Figure 2 As shown, the switching power supply includes a primary circuit, a transformer and a secondary bridge synchronous rectification module. The primary circuit includes a switch tube TR1, a switch tube TR2, a switch tube TR3, a switch tube TR4, a resistor R1, a resistor R2, a resistor R3, and a resistor R4. The secondary bridge synchronous rectification module includes a switch tube TR5 (a high-side switch tube), a switch tube TR6 (a low-side switch tube), a switch tube TR7, a switch tube TR8, a resistor R5, a resistor R6, a resistor R7, a resistor R8, an inductor L1 and a capacitor C1. The specific connection relationship is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, no further description is given here.
[0025] The specific working process of the circuit is as follows:
[0026] like Figure 3As shown, the signal control module generates PWM 0A / PWM 1A control signals and transmits them to the LI / HI signal input port of the driver control chip U2. When the LI signal input port of the driver control chip U2 receives a high level, the LO drive output port of the driver control chip U2 outputs a high level, and provides a drive signal to the gate of the switch tube TR6 through the resistor R12. At this time, the switch tube TR6 is turned on, and its drain level is pulled to the reference ground. Similarly, the level of the high-side reference terminal SW of the driver control chip is also pulled to the reference ground. At this time, the capacitor C6 is charged through the diode D1 to provide driving energy for the switch tube TR5 to turn on. When the HI signal input port of the driver control chip receives a high level, the HO drive output port of the driver control chip outputs a high level, and the energy stored in the capacitor C6 provides driving energy to the gate of the switch tube TR5 through the resistor R11. When the LI / HI signal input port of the driver control chip receives a low level, the LO / HO drive output port of the driver control chip outputs a low level, and the gate drive charge of the switch tube TR6 / TR5 is quickly discharged through the diode D3 / D2.
[0027] The enable voltage-stabilized power supply module configures a suitable output voltage through the internal reference and external resistors R9 and R10 to supply power to the drive control module. The signal control module generates an enable control signal LDO_EN, which is transmitted to the enable pin EN of the enable voltage-stabilized power supply module; when the switching power supply is working normally, the signal control module generates a high-level enable control signal LDO_EN, which enables the enable voltage-stabilized power supply module to supply power to the drive control module normally; when the switching power supply triggers input undervoltage protection or remote control shutdown under no-load conditions, the signal control module generates a low-level enable control signal LDO_EN, which enables the enable voltage-stabilized power supply module to be shut down, thereby lowering the voltage at the power input end of the drive control module, and avoiding the problem of high output voltage when the switching power supply is turned off when the no-load drive signal is turned off.
