[0030] See Figure 1 - Figure 2 , an embodiment of the present invention provides a blanking circuit 10, and the blanking circuit 10 is applied to a switching power supply. The blanking circuit 10 includes a coupling unit 11 and a first switching unit 12. The switching power supply may be a flyback switching power supply, and the switching power supply includes a switching power supply chip U1, a second switching unit 20, and a transformer L1. The specific structure is introduced as follows:

[0031] The model of the switching power supply chip U1 may be UC3844. The switching power supply chip U1 includes an output pin OUT and a current detection pin CS; the output pin OUT is used to output a PWM signal to the second switching unit 20 and the coupling unit 11. The current detection pin CS is used to detect the conduction current of the second switching unit 20.

[0032] Specifically, the output pin OUT is respectively connected to the coupling unit 11 and the second switching unit 20, and is used to output a PWM signal to the second switching unit 20 and the coupling unit 11.

[0033] The coupling unit 11 is connected to the first switching unit 12, and is used to couple the PWM signal output by the output pin OUT to the first switching unit 12.

[0034] The second switching unit 20 is connected to the primary winding of the transformer L1 and the current detection pin CS; the first switching unit 12 is connected to the current detection pin CS and grounded. The current detection pin CS is used to detect the conduction current of the second switching unit 20. The first switching unit 12 is used to eliminate the spike current when the second switching unit 20 conducts, avoiding mis-triggering of the switching power supply during operation.

[0035] In the technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention, the blanking circuit 10 includes a coupling unit 11 and a first switching unit 12; the switching power supply includes a switching power supply chip U1, a second switching unit 20, and a transformer L1. The switching power supply chip U1 includes an output pin OUT and a current detection pin CS; the output pin OUT is respectively connected to the coupling unit 11 and the second switching unit 20, the coupling unit 11 is connected to the first switching unit 12, and the second switching unit 20 is connected to the primary winding of the transformer L1 and the current detection pin CS; the first switching unit 12 is connected to the current detection pin CS and grounded; through the above technical solution, the coupling unit 11 couples and transmits the PWM signal output by the switching power supply chip U1 to the first switching unit 12. At the moment when the second switching unit 20 is turned on, the first switching unit 12 conducts, pulling down the current detection pin CS of the switching power supply chip U1, so as to effectively avoid mis-triggering of the switching power supply due to spike current during operation.

[0036] Specifically, when the blanking circuit 10 is not configured, refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 The waveform on the upper side in is the waveform diagram of the PWM signal output by the output pin OUT of the switching power supply chip U1, and the waveform on the lower side is the current waveform diagram detected by the current detection pin CS of the switching power supply chip U1. It can be seen that when the blanking circuit 10 is not configured, at the moment when the second switching unit 20 conducts, a spike current is generated at the CS pin of the switching power supply chip U1, which may cause mis-triggering of the switching power supply.

[0037] When the blanking circuit 10 is configured, refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4The waveform on the upper side is the waveform diagram of the PWM signal output from the output pin OUT of the switching power supply chip U1, and the waveform on the lower side is the current waveform diagram detected by the current detection pin CS of the switching power supply chip U1. It can be seen that after configuring the blanking circuit 10 of the embodiment of the present invention, at the moment when the second switching unit 20 is turned on, no spike current will be generated at the CS pin of the switching power supply chip U1, thereby effectively avoiding mis-triggering of the switching power supply.

[0038] Further, the coupling unit 11 includes a coupling capacitor C1. One end of the coupling capacitor C1 is connected to the output pin OUT, and the other end of the coupling capacitor C1 is connected to the first switching unit 12. The coupling capacitor C1 has the function of passing alternating current and blocking direct current, and can effectively couple the high-frequency PWM signal of the output pin OUT of the switching power supply chip U1 to the first switching unit 12.

[0040] Further, the blanking circuit 10 further includes a first current limiting unit 13. The coupling capacitor C1 is connected to the control end of the first switching transistor Q1 through the first current limiting unit 13. The first current limiting unit 13 functions to limit the magnitude of the current and is used to drive the first switching transistor Q1 to turn on / off. The first current limiting unit 13 includes at least one current limiting resistor. For example, in this embodiment, the first current limiting unit 13 includes a first current limiting resistor R1.

[0041] Further, the second switching unit 20 includes a second switching transistor Q2. The control end of the second switching transistor Q2 is connected to the output pin OUT, the input end of the second switching transistor Q2 is connected to the primary winding of the transformer L1, and the output end of the second switching transistor Q2 is connected to the current detection pin CS. The second switching transistor Q2 can specifically be a MOS transistor. For example, in this embodiment, the second switching transistor Q2 is an NMOS transistor. For an NMOS transistor, its control end is the gate, the input end is the drain, and the output end is the source.

[0042] Further, the switching power supply further includes a second current limiting unit 30. The current detection pin CS is connected to the output end of the second switching transistor Q2 through the second current limiting unit 30. The second current limiting unit 30 functions to limit the magnitude of the current and is used to drive the second switching transistor Q2 to conduct / turn off. The second current limiting unit 30 includes at least one current limiting resistor. For example, in this embodiment, the second current limiting unit 30 includes a second current limiting resistor R4.

[0043] Further, the switching power supply further includes a current detection unit 40. The current detection unit 40 includes a sampling resistor R2 and a filtering unit 41. The sampling resistor R2 is connected to the output end of the second switching transistor Q2 and grounded. The filtering unit 41 is respectively connected to the sampling resistor R2, the output end of the second switching transistor Q2, and the current detection pin CS. The sampling resistor R2 is used to collect the conduction current of the second switching transistor Q2. The filtering unit 41 functions to filter and can effectively filter out the clutter in the circuit, thereby improving the accuracy of detection.

[0044] Further, the filtering unit 41 includes a filtering resistor R3 and a filtering capacitor C2. The filtering resistor R3 is respectively connected to the sampling resistor R2, the output end of the second switching transistor Q2, and the current detection pin CS. The filtering capacitor C2 is connected to the filtering resistor R3 and grounded. The filtering resistor R3 and the filtering capacitor C2 form an RC filtering circuit, thereby being able to achieve a good filtering effect.
