[0022] The utility model will be made further detailed explanation in combination with the drawings and specific implementation.

[0023] As Figures 1-5 As shown, a kind of digital control's dual-phase BUCK DCDC converter, including two-way BUCK circuit connected with LC filter circuit, one-way BUCK circuit has MOS tube QH2 and inductance L1, MOS tube QH2 and inductance L between connection have MOS tube QS1, another way BUCK circuit has MOS tube QH2 and inductance L2, MOS tube QH2 and inductance L2 between connection have MOS tube QS2, BUCK circuit is connected with digital control chip 1 by voltage feedback module 2, digital control chip 1 is powered by linear regulator LDO, digital control chip 1 output PWM signal controls MOS tube QH1 and MOS tube QH2 on-off by half-bridge drive module 3, digital control chip 1 controls MOS tube QS1 and MOS tube QS2 by reverser and half-bridge drive module 3, digital control chip 1 is connected with current sharing circuit 4.

[0024] MOS tube QH1 and MOS tube QH2 are main power tube, MOS tube QS1 and MOS tube QS2 are synchronous rectification freewheeling tube, linear regulator LDO converts input electric into 5V and powers digital control chip 1.Output voltage is transferred to PWM controller after being handled by output voltage feedback module 2, the current error of current sharing bus, inductance current enters digital control chip 1, and the duty cycle of BUCK circuit switch tube is adjusted by digital control chip 1 finally reaches the purpose of stable output voltage.

[0025] MOS tube adopts small patch package DFN5x6, digital control chip 1 selects patch DFN package of high operation rate, entire circuit board adopts multilayer board technology, reduces power loop, and the entire converter output power is about 1000W.

[0026] Specifically, digital control chip 1 includes asynchronous serial interface UART, and asynchronous serial interface UART is connected with analog-digital converter ADC by digital-analog converter DAC and programmable error gain amplifier EA.

[0027] Further, asynchronous serial interface UART is connected with monitoring connector CONMON by digital compensator DCMP and double-path digital pulse width modulator DPWM.

[0028] Further, the asynchronous serial interface UART is connected with the mean filter CIC through the digital-analog converter DAC and the programmable error gain amplifier EA, the mean filter CIC is connected with the digital compensator DCM through the analog-digital converter ADC, and the asynchronous serial interface UART is connected with the mean filter CIC.

[0029] Further, the mean filter CIC adopts a window length of 8, that is, 8 input values are taken to output the average, the clock adopts the high-frequency sampling clock of the ADC, and the accumulation operation is performed on each ADC high-frequency clock rising edge, the output clock of the mean filter CIC is the special clock of the digital compensator DCM, that is, the special clock of the digital compensator DCM is output after the 8th accumulation operation is completed, the mean operation is implemented by shifting, and the operation is to obtain the mean of 8 inputs, so the result of the operation of 8 inputs is right shifted by 3 bits and output.

[0030] In addition, the digital compensator DCM adopts the PID algorithm. When the output voltage deviates, the proportional adjustment adjusts the output according to the size of the deviation, multiplies the error value by the proportional value to output, and can directly express the size of the deviation. Most systems only need proportional controllers to adjust to basically achieve the expected adjustment result. The integral adjustment adjusts the output according to the integral calculation accumulation of the deviation, multiplies the integral value of the past deviation value by the integral value to output, can reflect the error situation in the past, is used for repairing control, and reduces the static error. The differential adjustment adjusts the output according to the differential of the deviation, multiplies the change slope of the error value by the differential value to output, can express the change trend of the deviation, is used for predicting the change trend of the system, adjusts in advance, reduces the overshoot, and speeds up the system response.

[0031] FB is the voltage signal after the output power supply voltage is divided, and a voltage error signal is generated after being compared with the digital reference voltage generated by the digital-analog converter DAC in the digital control chip 1. After the error signal is synthesized with the current sharing error signal COMP1 and the output current error signal and is quantized into a digital value, the mean filter CIC is used to reduce the generation of random noise, and then the quantized value is sent to the digital compensator DCM to output the compensation signal. Finally, the digital pulse width modulator DPWM outputs a plurality of pulse width modulation signals with a certain time sequence relationship according to the modulation signal, which is used to drive the power switch tube.

[0032] At the same time, the current sharing circuit 4 includes an amplifier U4A connected with a MOS tube Q5 through an amplifier U4B. The current sharing circuit 4 can externally expand the power module and increase the output power. The specific principle is as follows: COUNT1 is the value of the output current of the DC / DC converter after proportional amplification by an operational amplifier. The analog quantity passes through the voltage follower composed of U4 and then is compared with the parallel current sharing bus I_Bus1 to generate an error signal COMP1 which enters the digital controller and participates in the digital compensation module to adjust the PWM duty cycle to adjust the output voltage. When the output current of a certain module increases, the PWM duty cycle decreases, the output voltage decreases, and the output current correspondingly decreases to achieve the purpose of current sharing.

[0033] As can be seen, the amplifier U4A is connected with a resistor R24, the amplifier U4A is connected with a capacitor C28, the amplifier U4A is connected with a resistor R20, a resistor R21 and a capacitor C27, and the amplifier U4A is connected with a resistor R25 between the amplifier U4A and the MOS tube Q5.

[0035] Preferably, the dual-phase BUCK DC / DC converter is integrally packaged in the converter housing 5, and the converter housing 5 is provided with a support frame.

[0036] In summary, the principle of the embodiment is to use the digital control idea to realize the on-off of the switch tube in the main power dual-path interleaved BUCK, so that the energy is orderly transmitted to the output according to the predetermined design.
