[0021] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without expending creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] Existing multi-port fast charging circuits usually use an AD output of 21V voltage first, and then use a buck circuit to achieve the multi-port fast charging effect. This results in a large number of circuit components and difficult to control costs.

[0024] In this embodiment, the main controller judges the power levels of the first fast charging module and the second fast charging module based on the first switching circuit and the second switching circuit, and turns on the first fast charging module through the first output circuit or the second output circuit, and turns on the second fast charging module through the second output circuit or the first output circuit.

[0025] Preferably, in this embodiment, the first output circuit is an AD circuit; the second output circuit is a buck-boost circuit. In this embodiment, the first switching circuit and the second switching circuit determine whether the first or second fast-charging module is the higher-power module, and the first output circuit turns on the higher-power fast-charging module, while the second output circuit turns on the lower-power fast-charging module.

[0026] Preferably, the main controller includes an MCU.

[0027] In this embodiment, the dual-port fast charging output uses an AD output on one side and a buck-boost circuit on the other side. When the dual-plug output is used, the MCU is used to control which port has higher power and which output port uses the AD circuit first. This can eliminate one buck circuit, resulting in low cost and small product size.

[0033] Preferably, in this embodiment, the MOS transistor Q5 and the MOS transistor Q2 are both connected to the same VBUS pin of the first fast charging module; the MOS transistor Q3 and the MOS transistor Q4 are both connected to the same VBUS pin of the second fast charging module.

[0034] Preferably, in this embodiment, the first fast charging module and the second fast charging module are also provided with their own conventional peripheral circuits to ensure the normal operation of the fast charging modules.

[0035] In this embodiment, by controlling the on / off of the first switch circuit and the second switch circuit, the main controller is connected to the fast charging module with higher power through the AD circuit, and is connected to the fast charging circuit with lower power through the buck-boost circuit. At the same time, only one AD circuit and one buck-boost circuit are used, which can reduce the number of conventional buck circuits and reduce costs.

[0036] The above-described embodiments do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of this technical solution. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the above-described embodiments shall be included in the scope of protection of this technical solution.
