Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of switching power supplies, in particular to an undervoltage protection circuit. Background Art

[0002] Compared to linear power supplies, switching power supplies boast smaller size, higher efficiency, and higher power. They are widely used in automotive, photovoltaic, industrial control, medical, and handheld devices. With the continuous advancement of technology, switching power supplies are moving towards higher frequencies, higher power, and smaller sizes. However, insufficient power supply voltage or transient waveforms can sometimes cause damage or malfunction. Undervoltage protection circuits can effectively prevent circuit damage or malfunction caused by insufficient power supply voltage or transient waveforms. Undervoltage protection circuits are commonly used in various electrical devices, such as power transformers, capacitors, and voltage regulators, to ensure safe and reliable operation despite abnormal power supply voltages.

[0003] Undervoltage protection circuits use undervoltage protection devices (such as electronic fuses, ultra-low voltage triggers, etc.) as control elements. By detecting whether the input power supply voltage is lower than the set threshold, it controls the conduction of the switching element, putting the circuit in or out of working state. Specifically, there are two main ways to implement undervoltage protection circuits: one is to directly add an undervoltage protection device to the circuit. When the input power supply voltage is lower than the set value, the protection device will disconnect the circuit at the output end, thereby playing a role in protecting the circuit; the other is to control the switching state of the circuit by controlling the conduction of external devices (such as relays, transistors, etc.) to achieve undervoltage protection. Regardless of which method is used to implement the undervoltage protection circuit, its core is the undervoltage protection device, which can quickly disconnect the circuit at the output end when the circuit power supply voltage is lower than the preset value, thereby preventing circuit damage or abnormal operation.

[0004] In summary, existing circuits suffer from poor stability and high power consumption when the power input voltage is abnormal. When selecting an undervoltage protection device, factors such as its cutoff speed, voltage withstand capability, and repeatability must be considered to ensure that the circuit is protected quickly and reliably under abnormal conditions. Therefore, to ensure that the circuit is protected quickly and reliably under abnormal conditions, the power supply system must have this function, and research into a new undervoltage protection circuit is urgently needed.
