Description

Technical Field

[0002] In the past, automotive lighting had incandescent lamps, halogen lamps, xenon lamps, etc. However, with the continuous expansion of LED in the field of automotive lighting, LEDs are now used in every position of automotive lighting. The gradual rise of LEDs is closely related to its own excellent characteristics. For example, compared with the incandescent lamps used in automotive lighting in the past, LEDs have very significant advantages such as long life, energy saving, high light quality, simple LED structure, good shock resistance, fast response speed, low applicable voltage, small size and the ability to change the shape of the lamp at will.

This embodiment is implemented based on the technical solution of the present invention, and provides a detailed implementation method and a specific operation process, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0022] like Figure 1The combined headlight synchronous boost circuit diagram shown includes an input energy storage filter unit, a detection unit, a boost energy storage unit, a switch control unit and an output energy storage filter unit; the positive and negative ends of the battery output stable electric energy after reducing the input voltage ripple through the input energy storage filter unit, and the electric energy is sent to the boost energy storage unit for storage. The detection unit detects the input and output voltages of the boost energy storage unit to determine whether the boost energy storage unit meets the load requirements. The switch control unit receives the detection signal of the detection unit, controls the switch circuit in the switch control unit to turn on or off, and turns on or off the path between the boost energy storage unit and the output energy storage filter unit. The output energy storage filter unit reduces the output voltage ripple and supplies power to the load at the same time.

[0023] The input energy storage filter unit includes an electrolytic capacitor CE1, a capacitor C4, and a capacitor C5, which are connected in parallel in sequence to the positive and negative electrodes of the battery; the detection unit includes an input detection resistor R2 connected between the output positive electrode of the input energy storage filter unit and the inductor L1 of the boost energy storage unit, a protection circuit composed of a resistor R5, a capacitor C10, and a resistor R4 connected in series in sequence, and an output current limiting resistor R11 connected to the front end of the output energy storage filter unit; the switch control unit includes a boost control chip U1, switch MOS tubes Q1, Q2, a driving circuit of the two MOS tubes, and a protection circuit of the two MOS tubes, wherein the switch MOS tube Q1 is connected in series between the inductor L1 of the boost energy storage unit and the ground GND, and the switch MOS tube Q2 is connected in series between the inductor L1 of the boost energy storage unit and the output energy storage filter unit; the output energy storage filter unit includes a capacitor C7, a capacitor C8, and an electrolytic capacitor CE2, which are connected in parallel in sequence.

[0024] 1. Working principle:

[0025] 1. U1 uses MPQ3447U or MPQ3446U, and connects a bootstrap capacitor between the BST and SW pins to provide gate current during the on-time of each cycle to charge the gate of Q1. The VOUT pin of U1 collects the output voltage value through the current limiting resistor R11, and sets the output overvoltage and undervoltage protection values ​​through the internal voltage divider resistor of U1. The CSA pin of U1 and the CSB pin of U1 detect the current ripple of the inductor L1 (the voltage difference across R2) through R2, and set the overpower value to prevent overpower damage.

[0026] 2. When U1 works normally, the current ripple of L1 (the voltage difference across R2) is detected through the CSA pin of U1 and the CSB pin of U1 through R2, and the voltage difference is compared with the value collected by the voltage divider resistor inside the VOUT pin of U1, so as to control the conduction or cutoff of the MOS tube Q2 through the BG pin of U1.

[0027] 3. When the current ripple of L1 (the voltage difference between the two ends of R2) detected by R2 does not reach the set value, the BG pin of U1 outputs a high level and connects to the gate of Q2 through resistor R8, driving Q2 to turn on, L1 is between the positive electrode of the battery and the ground, L1 stores energy, and the TG pin of U1 outputs a low level and connects to the gate of MOS tube Q1 through resistor R10, so that MOS tube Q1 is cut off and disconnected from the load end, and the battery charges the inductor L1 to boost the voltage; the current ripple of L1 (the voltage difference between the two ends of R2) detected by R2 reaches the preset value, and is compared with the value collected by the voltage divider resistor in the VOUT pin of U1. When the two values ​​are equal, The BG pin of U1 outputs a low level to turn off Q2, and the TG pin of U1 outputs a high level to drive Q1 to turn on. The electric energy stored in L1 charges the capacitors C7, C8 and electrolytic capacitor CE2 connected in parallel at the output end of the circuit through the turned-on Q1 and supplies power to the load. At this time, the current ripple on L1 will also decrease. The CSA pin of U1 and the CSB pin of U1 detect the L1 current ripple (the voltage difference across R2) through R2 and decrease. When it decreases to the preset value, the BG pin of U1 outputs a high level to drive Q2 to turn on, and L1 stores energy. At the same time, the TG pin of U1 outputs a low level to turn off Q1, and the above steps are cycled periodically.

[0028] 2. Charging stage during working:

[0029] Current flow: positive pole of power supply BAT+ to R2 to L1 to Q2 to negative pole of power supply BAT-.

[0030] 3. Discharge stage during operation

[0031] Current flow: positive pole of power supply BAT+ to R2 to L1 to Q1 to load to negative pole of power supply BAT-.

[0032] 4. Function of each part:

[0033] CE1, C4, C5 energy storage filter, reduce input voltage ripple; C1, C3 energy storage filter, reduce L1 current ripple to the instantaneous change of voltage difference across R2, increase the stability of the control loop; R5, R4 current limiting, C10 bypass filter, reduce the instantaneous change of voltage difference across R2, increase the stability of the control loop; L1 energy storage filter, boost; C9 bootstrap capacitor, provide Q1 gate current during the conduction period of each cycle, charge the gate of Q1 device; R6 current limiting, reduce C9 discharge current, so as to control the opening of Q1 speed; D1 prevents the leakage current of the BST pin from discharging the voltage of BST-SW to <-0.3V under no-switching conditions; R8 limits the current and controls the opening speed of Q2; R7 discharge resistor accelerates the discharge of Q2 gate charge; Q2 controls the switch; R9 and C6 absorb Q2 noise; R3 discharge resistor accelerates the discharge of Q1 gate charge; R10 limits the current and controls the opening speed of Q1; R1 and C2 absorb Q1 noise; Q1 controls the switch; R11 current limiting resistor; C7, C8, CE2 energy storage filter to reduce output voltage ripple; U1 controller. 4. Key components of synchronous boost topology:

[0034] This is achieved by controlling the on / off of Q1 and Q2 through U1.

[0035] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the utility model, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the utility model, which all belong to the protection scope of the utility model.
