Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a circuit structure used for peak current protection detection. Background Art

[0002] With the development of power electronics technology, switching power supply technology is constantly innovating, new power devices and new circuit topologies are constantly updated, and the operating frequency of power switch tubes is becoming higher and higher, especially in low-voltage and high-current electroplating, electrolysis, metal smelting and other industrial energy sources. The power switch tube has large current and high voltage, and a single power tube is expensive. In many circuit topologies, the power switch tube will work in the positive and negative half-cycles, and there will be positive and negative current values. Overcurrent and short circuit are common causes of power tube damage. The conventional protection circuit uses a current transformer to take samples and then monitor the power tube current after full-bridge rectification. However, it has defects such as transformer saturation, waveform distortion after full-wave rectification, and misjudgment of power tube overcurrent and short-circuit protection, resulting in frequent no output of the entire power supply. Therefore, it is very necessary to design a circuit that can quickly, reliably and monitor the peak current in real time. Utility Model Content

[0013] The resistor R8 is connected to the 7th pin of the second comparator U1B and the fifth network point OCP_ALR respectively;

[0014] The resistor R6 is connected in parallel between the pin 1 and the pin 3 of the transistor Q1 .

[0015] As a further solution of the utility model: a transistor Q2 is arranged between the third network point RST_OCP and the 3rd pin of the third comparator U2, and the 2nd pin of the transistor Q2 is connected to the third network point RST_OCP;

[0016] Pin 3 of the transistor Q2 is connected to pin 3 of the third comparator U2;

[0017] Pin 1 of the transistor Q2 is grounded.
