[0060] The first step-down chopper unit S3 and the second step-down chopper unit S4 are arranged in parallel, and the target output end VOUT is the common output end of the first step-down chopper unit S3 and the second step-down chopper unit S4.
[0061] The target output end VOUT is connected with the input end of the first threshold detection unit S1, so as to output preset level when the voltage of the target output end VOUT exceeds preset voltage, in the embodiment, the preset level is low level, the output end of the first threshold detection unit S1 is connected with the pulse width modulation pin COMP of the first control chip U1, so as to reduce the duty cycle of the output pin OUT signal of the first control chip U1 when outputting preset level, and the synchronous clock input pin RT of the first control chip U1 also receives first clock signal through filter capacitor C6.
[0062] The target output end VOUT is connected with the input end of the second threshold detection unit S2, so as to output a preset level when the voltage of the target output end VOUT exceeds a preset voltage. The output end of the second threshold detection unit S2 is also connected with the pulse width modulation pin COMP of the second control chip U2, so as to reduce the duty cycle of the output pin OUT signal of the second control chip U2 when the preset level is output. The synchronous clock input pin RT of the second control chip U2 also receives a second clock signal through the filter capacitor C11.
[0063] The first clock signal and the second clock signal are synchronously staggered by 180°.
[0064] The output pin OUT of the first control chip U1 is connected with the control end of the first voltage reduction chopping unit S3, and the output pin OUT of the second control chip U2 is connected with the control end of the second voltage reduction chopping unit S4.
[0065] In the above circuit, when used, the input voltage is output to the target output end VOUT after being reduced by the first voltage reduction chopping unit S3 and the second voltage reduction chopping unit S4. At this time,
[0066] When the target output end VOUT passes through the first threshold detection unit S1, if the target output end VOUT is greater than a preset voltage, at this time, the first threshold detection unit S1 outputs a preset level to the pulse width modulation pin COMP of the first control chip U1, and then controls the pulse width of the output pin OUT of the first control chip U1, that is, the duty cycle, so as to realize the reduction of the working duty cycle of the first voltage reduction chopping unit S3, so as to reduce the voltage of the target output end VOUT.

[0073] The voltage signal suitable for the reference end of the first controllable precision voltage source U3 is obtained through the voltage division of the target output end VOUT by the resistor R4 and the resistor R5.
[0074] After the target output end VOUT is greater than the preset voltage, the reference end of the first controllable precision voltage source U3 receives the corresponding voltage, thereby reducing the voltage at the cathode end of the first controllable precision voltage source U3, increasing the voltage between the anode end and the cathode end of the first optical coupler OT4, thereby making the collector and the emitter of the first optical coupler OT4 conductive, and finally making the pulse width modulation pin COMP of the first control chip U1 connected to the common end, thereby reducing the signal of the pin. By reducing the pulse width modulation pin COMP of the first control chip U1, the duty cycle of the signal output by the output pin OUT of the first control chip U1 can be finally reduced.

[0091] The pulse width modulation pin COMP of the second control chip U2 is connected to the common end through the collector and the emitter of the second optocoupler OT3 in sequence.
[0092] Similarly, the voltage signal suitable for the reference end of the second controllable precision voltage source U4 can be received by the voltage division of the target output end VOUT through the resistor R9 and the resistor R10.
[0093] After the target output end VOUT is greater than the preset voltage, the reference end of the second controllable precision voltage source U4 receives the corresponding voltage, thereby reducing the voltage of the cathode end of the second controllable precision voltage source U4, increasing the voltage between the anode end and the cathode end of the second optocoupler OT3, thereby making the collector and the emitter of the second optocoupler OT3 conductive, and finally making the pulse width modulation pin COMP of the second control chip U2 connected to the common end, thereby reducing the signal of the pin, and finally realizing the reduction of the duty cycle of the signal output by the output pin OUT of the second control chip U2 by reducing the pulse width modulation pin COMP of the second control chip U2.

[0096] Specifically, the circuit further comprises a fourth voltage ring, and the fourth voltage ring comprises a resistor R8 and a capacitor C9, wherein,

[0098] The third voltage ring and the fourth voltage ring are used to loop control adjustment compensation.
[0099] In summary, the working process of the circuit includes:
[0100] In use, after the input voltage is stepped down by the first step-down chopping unit S3 and the second step-down chopping unit S4, the input voltage is output to the target output end VOUT.
[0101] When the target output end VOUT passes through the first threshold detection unit S1, the voltage of the target output end VOUT is divided by the resistor R4 and the resistor R5, so that the reference end of the first controllable precision voltage source U3 can receive a suitable voltage signal.
[0102] After the target output end VOUT is greater than the preset voltage, the reference end of the first controllable precision voltage source U3 receives a corresponding voltage, thereby pulling down the voltage at the cathode end of the first controllable precision voltage source U3, increasing the voltage between the anode end and the cathode end of the first optocoupler OT4, thereby making the collector and the emitter of the first optocoupler OT4 conductive, and finally making the pulse width modulation pin COMP of the first control chip U1 connected to the common end, thereby pulling down the signal of the pin, and by pulling down the pulse width modulation pin COMP of the first control chip U1, the duty cycle of the signal output by the output pin OUT of the first control chip U1 can be finally reduced.
[0103] Similarly, the voltage of the target output end VOUT is divided by the resistor R9 and the resistor R10, so that the reference end of the second controllable precision voltage source U4 can receive a suitable voltage signal.
[0104] After the target output end VOUT is greater than the preset voltage, the reference end of the second controllable precision voltage source U4 receives a corresponding voltage, thereby pulling down the voltage at the cathode end of the second controllable precision voltage source U4, increasing the voltage between the anode end and the cathode end of the second optocoupler OT3, thereby making the collector and the emitter of the second optocoupler OT3 conductive, and finally making the pulse width modulation pin COMP of the second control chip U2 connected to the common end, thereby pulling down the signal of the pin, and by pulling down the pulse width modulation pin COMP of the second control chip U2, the duty cycle of the signal output by the output pin OUT of the second control chip U2 can be finally reduced.
[0105] Since the synchronous clock input pin RT of the first control chip U1 and the second control chip U2 receives the first clock signal and the second clock signal which are 180° staggered, the synchronous staggered signal control of the output pin OUT of the first control chip U1 and the second control chip U2 can be realized.
[0106] At this time, the switch period of the first voltage reduction chopper unit S3 and the second voltage reduction chopper unit S4 is T, and the conduction time is TON, then the switch frequency is f1=1 / T, the switch conduction ratio D=Ton / T, the switch frequency of the two-way staggered parallel BUCK converter is f=2f1, according to whether the minimum peak current flowing through the inductor is 0, it can be divided into continuous conduction mode (CCM) and discontinuous conduction mode (DCM), for the convenience of analysis, it is assumed that the inductance charging and discharging is linear, L1=L2=L, all devices are ideal devices, and the converter works in CCM and DCM critical inductance;
[0107] From Lc=Vo(1-D) / 2Io*f, when L>Lc, the converter works in CCM, when L<Lc, the converter works in DCM, and the output voltage ripple of a single BUCK is calculated as Vo(1-D) / 8*L*C*f1*f1, and since the frequency of the inductor in the above circuit is twice the switch frequency, the output voltage ripple of the above circuit is Vo(VIN-Vo) / 32*L*C*f1*f1*VIN, it can be seen that the circuit can reduce the size of input and output current ripple.
[0108] The control end of the first voltage reduction chopper unit S3 and the second voltage reduction chopper unit S4 in the circuit receives synchronous pulses, so that the whole circuit characteristics are similar to a single voltage reduction chopper unit, in order to maximize eliminate current ripple, the circuit works synchronously at the same frequency, the control end switch signal of the first voltage reduction chopper unit S3 and the second voltage reduction chopper unit S4 is staggered by 180°, which greatly reduces the current ripple, reduces the heating of the device, improves the efficiency, improves the reliability of the circuit, and the circuit does not need to use a single-chip microcomputer, reduces the corresponding cost.
