Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of electronic technology, and particularly relates to a step-down circuit. Background Art

[0002] Semiconductor refrigeration is a technology that uses the thermoelectric effect to achieve refrigeration. It applies a direct current between two different materials, causing heat to transfer from one material to the other, thereby producing a cooling effect on one surface.

[0003] The efficiency of semiconductor refrigeration is mainly related to the current. The larger the current, the stronger the refrigeration. Considering power consumption, if it is not desired that the device consumes too much power under large current, the voltage needs to be reduced as much as possible. In addition, some semiconductor refrigerators can only withstand a relatively low voltage. Once overvoltage occurs, the device is easily broken down and damaged. The application of semiconductor refrigeration poses new requirements for the power supply, requiring low voltage, large current, and high constant voltage stability. The existing DC voltage sources are still difficult to meet the above requirements.

[0004] In view of this, a new step-down circuit needs to be proposed to solve the above problems. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] To solve the problems commonly existing in the prior art, the utility model proposes a step-down circuit that can be applied to semiconductor refrigeration and can achieve low voltage, large current, and high constant voltage stability.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by the utility model is as follows:

[0007] The utility model proposes a step-down circuit, which includes a switch module, a first diode, an inductor, a first resistor, a second resistor, a third resistor, a fourth resistor, a precision voltage stabilizer, a first capacitor, a second capacitor, and a fourth capacitor. The positive end of the input port is connected to the first end of the second resistor, the input pin, and the enable pin of the switch module. The switch pin of the switch module is connected to the cathode of the first diode and the first end of the inductor. A first capacitor is connected in parallel between the switch pin and the bootstrap pin of the switch module. The second end of the inductor is connected to the positive end of the output port and the first end of the first resistor. The second end of the first resistor is connected to the feedback pin of the switch module and the first end of the third resistor. The second end of the third resistor is connected to the second end of the second resistor, the cathode, and the reference end of the precision voltage stabilizer. The negative end of the input port, the ground pin of the switch module, the anode of the first diode, the anode of the precision voltage stabilizer, and the negative end of the output port are all grounded. The second capacitor is connected in parallel between the positive end and the negative end of the input port. The fourth capacitor and the fourth resistor are both connected in parallel between the positive end and the negative end of the output port.

[0008] Further, it further includes a third capacitor, which is connected in parallel between the positive end and the negative end of the input port.

[0009] Furthermore, a fifth capacitor and a sixth capacitor are included, and both the fifth capacitor and the sixth capacitor are connected in parallel between the positive end and the negative end of the output port.

[0010] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0011] The input voltage of the utility model can be 5V or 12V. The switch module includes a switching device. When the switching device is closed, the input current stores energy in the inductor. When the switching device is disconnected, the electrical energy in the inductor is released and provided to the load through the first diode. The output voltage is divided by the first resistor, the second resistor and the precision voltage-stabilizing source and provided to the feedback end of the switch module to control the on-off duration of the switch. The cathode and reference end of the precision voltage-stabilizing source are also connected to the input pin of the switch module through the second resistor to further stabilize the voltage. Under the joint action of all devices, the embodiment of the utility model can provide a regulated voltage output as low as 120mV, and the output current can be 2~2.5A. The utility model can be applied to semiconductor refrigeration, and can achieve low voltage, large current and high constant voltage stability. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The second capacitor C2 is connected in parallel between the positive and negative terminals of the input port J1.
