Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a field, and in particular to a control circuit capable of changing the response speed of a PFC loop in real time. Background Art

[0002] With the development of science and technology, switching power supplies have flourished in the electronics industry, and the performance indicators of products have become more and more stringent. When the switching power supply is working, a large amount of high-order harmonics will be generated and fed back to the power grid, polluting the power grid; and when the switching power supply is working, it will also generate active power and reactive power, and reactive power is a waste of the power grid. The greater the reactive power, the greater the waste. Therefore, PF&THD is a very important indicator to measure the performance of switching power supply products.

[0003] The PFC boost circuit (20) is a circuit designed for this purpose. It not only increases the PF of the power supply and reduces the reactive power generation of the power supply, but also reduces the high-order harmonics of the power supply, thereby reducing the pollution it generates to the power grid. However, the switching power supplies currently produced basically only focus on the PF&THD of the product when it is fully loaded. In actual use, these switching power supplies are often not used at full load. Some are only half the power or even less. In particular, dimming power supplies basically do not work at full power. Due to the influence of the PFC circuit loop, at this time, the PF&THD of the switching power supply will become relatively poor, which will cause relatively large waste and pollution to the power grid.

The fourth end of the inductor T2 is connected to the first end of the capacitor C5 and the 8th pin of the PFC chip U1 through the diode D6 and the resistor R22, and outputs the power supply VCC; the first end of the inductor T2 is connected to the output end of the rectifier filter circuit 10 and the first end of the resistor R24; the second end of the inductor T2 is connected to the first end of the MOS tube Q6 and the first end of the diode D5; the third end of the inductor T2 is connected to GND; the fourth end of the inductor T2 is connected to the 7th pin of the PFC chip U1 through the resistor R23; the other end of the capacitor C5 is connected to GND; the second end of the resistor R24 ​​is respectively connected to the first end of the PFC chip U1 and the first end of the resistor R25; the second end of the PFC chip U1 is connected to GND through the resistor R27 and the capacitor C7; the third end of the PFC chip U1 is connected to GND; the sixth end of the PFC chip U1 is connected to the second end of the MOS tube Q6; the fifth end of the PFC chip U1 is connected to the third end of the MOS tube Q6 and is connected to GND through the resistor R28; the fourth end of the PFC chip U1 is connected to the second end of the diode D5 through the resistor R29, and is connected to the input end of the DC-DC conversion circuit 40 together with the first end of the capacitor C4 and is connected to GND through the resistor R30; the second end of the capacitor C4 is connected to GND together with the DC-DC conversion circuit 40.

[0029] In one embodiment, the loop control circuit 30 includes resistors R35-39, a capacitor C8, a comparator U7A and a MOS tube Q7, one end of the resistor R39 is connected to the PFC boost circuit 20; the other end of the resistor R39 is connected to the negative input end of the comparator U7A; the power supply VCC is divided by the resistor R35 and the resistor R38 to generate the power supply VDD to power the comparator U7A, and the 8th pin of the comparator U7A is connected to GND through the capacitor C8; the power supply VDD is divided by the resistor R37 and the resistor R38 to obtain the reference voltage VREF; the reference voltage VREF is connected to the positive input end of the comparator U7A through the resistor R36; the ground end of the comparator U7A is connected to GND; the output end of the comparator U7A is connected to the second end of the MOS tube Q7; the third end of the MOS tube Q7 is connected to GND; the first end of the MOS tube Q7 is connected to the PFC boost circuit 20 through the capacitor C6.

[0030] The specific working principle is as follows: when the system is powered on and works normally, the second end of the inductor T2 charges the capacitor C5 through the diode D6 and the resistor R22 until the PFC chip U1 starts to work and outputs energy to the DC-DC conversion circuit 40 by controlling the on and off of the MOS tube Q6; at this time, the second foot of the comparator U7A collects the voltage of the third foot of the MOS tube Q6 through the resistor R39 and compares it with the set reference voltage VREF; the reference voltage VREF is set to a certain value through the parameters of the resistor R35 and the resistor R38, and this value corresponds to the second power output by the PFC boost circuit 20; when the voltage collected by the second foot of the comparator U7A When the voltage collected by the second foot of the comparator U7A is higher than the reference voltage VREF, the comparator U7A outputs a low level, the MOS tube Q7 connected to its output end stops working, and the PFC boost circuit 20 works according to the PF&THD designed at the first power (full power); when the voltage collected by the second foot of the comparator U7A is lower than the reference voltage VREF, the comparator U7A outputs a high level, the MOS tube Q7 connected to its output end starts working, and the PFC boost circuit 20 works again according to the new response speed, so that the PFC boost circuit 20 can still allow the entire power supply to present a higher PF and lower THD when outputting a small power segment, so that the waste and pollution of the entire power supply to the power grid in the entire power segment are minimized.

[0031] The utility model has the advantages that: the PFC loop response can be changed in real time through the above structure, so that the waste and pollution caused by the power supply to the power grid can be greatly reduced when the switching power supply is lightly loaded.
