Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a startup circuit, specifically an ultra-low power consumption fast startup circuit for a power adapter. Background Technology
[0002] Adapters are ubiquitous in our daily lives, serving as essential power supply devices for electronic products. Whether it's household appliances or devices like mobile phones and rechargeable batteries, all require a suitable adapter to convert high-voltage AC mains power into the low-voltage DC power needed by the device. Adapters typically contain a PWM IC chip. Driving this PWM IC chip requires an adapter IC startup circuit. Traditional adapter IC startup circuits, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the high-voltage terminal HV after rectifier bridge is connected to resistors R20 and R21 in sequence, and then connected to the output power supply terminal VCC. An electrolytic capacitor CE7 is connected to the end of resistor R21 furthest from resistor R20. The advantage of this circuit is its simplicity, but its disadvantages are: if the values of resistors R20 and R21 are large, the charging time of electrolytic capacitor CE7 is long, resulting in a slow circuit startup; if the values of resistors R20 and R21 are small, the charging time of electrolytic capacitor CE7 is short, resulting in a faster circuit startup, but the power loss of resistors R20 and R21 is large, making it difficult to balance startup time and power consumption. If a startup time of <0.5s and compliance with European standard level VI energy efficiency and no-load power consumption of <0.1W@230Vac are required, this circuit is difficult to achieve.

[0019] Please refer to Figure 2 The utility model provides a kind of embodiment: a power adapter ultra-low power consumption fast start circuit, the fast start circuit includes high voltage power supply end HV1 and the accelerating charging start circuit 2 connected with high voltage power supply end HV1, the accelerating charging start circuit 2 is connected with start-off cut-off charging circuit 3, the fast start circuit further includes power supply output end VCC4, the power supply output end VCC4 is electrically connected with accelerating charging start circuit 2 and start-off cut-off charging circuit 3 respectively, and power supply output end VCC4 supplies power to the IC end of power adapter.
[0020] Please refer to Figure 3 , accelerating charging start circuit 2 in figure is composed of resistance R1, resistance R2, resistance R3, resistance R4, resistance R5, capacitor CE1, capacitor C1, capacitor CE3 and MOS tube Q1, wherein resistance R1 and resistance R2 are connected in series and then connected in parallel with capacitor CE1, one end of resistance R3 is connected with capacitor CE1 and resistance R2, and the other end is respectively connected with capacitor C1 and the gate of MOS tube Q1;Resistance R4 and resistance R5 are connected in series, and the end of resistance R4 away from resistance R5 is respectively connected with capacitor CE1, resistance R1 and high voltage power supply end HV1, the end of resistance R5 away from resistance R4 is connected with the drain of MOS tube Q1, the source of MOS tube Q1 is connected with capacitor CE3, and the end of capacitor CE3 away from MOS tube Q1 is grounded, start-off cut-off charging circuit 3 includes resistance R7, resistance R8, resistance R9, diode D2, diode ZD1, triode Q2 and transformer T1 power supply auxiliary winding, wherein one end of transformer T1 power supply auxiliary winding is grounded, and the other end is connected with diode D2, diode D2 is connected with resistance R9 in series, and the end of resistance R9 away from diode D2 is respectively connected with diode ZD1, capacitor CE3 and the source of MOS tube Q1, the emitter and collector of triode Q2 are respectively connected with the two ends of capacitor C1, the base of triode Q2 is respectively connected with resistance R7 and resistance R8, the end of resistance R7 away from triode Q2 is connected with diode ZD1, and the end of resistance R8 away from resistance R7 is grounded.
[0021] Specific, the capacitor C1 away from the resistance R3 and MOS tube Q1 one end ground.
[0022] Specific, the capacitor CE1 and capacitor CE3 are charge and discharge capacitors.
[0023] Specific, the triode Q2 is NPN type transistor.
[0024] Again, refer to Figure 3 When the power adapter starts, the AC voltage rises instantaneously, the voltage on the high voltage supply end HV1 follows, and the capacitor CE1 will be charged at the same time due to the characteristic of the capacitor CE1 that impedes AC and passes DC, so the bypass resistor R1 and the resistor R2 are not working instantaneously, the current passes through the capacitor CE1, the resistor R3, the capacitor C1, and then the MOS tube Q1 gate, and the MOS tube Q1 is turned on. Since the MOS tube Q1 can pass a large current, the resistance R4 and the resistance R5 are usually 56KΩ, and are connected in series to charge the capacitor CE3. Since the resistance is small and the charging current is large, the charging time is very short and can reach the voltage threshold of the adapter IC, and the PWM IC starts the PWM circuit to work. When the capacitor CE1 is fully charged, the current cannot pass through, and the resistor R1, the resistor R2 and the resistor R3 are connected in series to the MOS tube Q1 gate. Since the MOS tube Q1 has been turned on before, the resistance R1 and the resistance R2 can have a large value, and only need to maintain the voltage. Therefore, the resistance R1 and the resistance R2 are usually about 2.5MΩ, and the power loss of the resistance R1+resistor R2+resistor R3 is very small.
[0025] Specific, when the VCC capacitor CE3 charging voltage is greater than the PWM IC working voltage threshold, the PWM circuit starts to work, and the auxiliary winding T1B of the transformer generates a high-frequency alternating voltage, which is rectified by the diode D2 and limited by the resistor R9 to charge the VCC. At this time, the VCC power supply becomes a stable DC voltage. At this time, the VCC voltage is passed through the diode ZD1, which is a voltage stabilizing diode in this embodiment. The diode ZD1 is used to set the voltage difference between the voltage supplied by the auxiliary winding T1B and the starting threshold voltage. The diode ZD1 is set to a reasonable parameter, and does not conduct at the starting moment. After the VCC works stably, the base of the series resistor R7 and the resistor R8 of the triode Q2 works, and the triode Q2 is turned on, pulling the MOS tube Q1 gate to a low level, turning off the MOS tube Q1, and stopping the resistor R4 and the resistor R5 from working. The resistor R4 and the resistor R5 do not produce power loss at this time. Only the resistance R1+resistor R2+resistor R3 has power loss. Since the resistance R1+resistor R2+resistor R3 has a very large resistance value, the circuit VCC has very small loss after working stably.
[0026] The following will be described in detail by a set of experimental data:
[0027] Please refer to Figure 1, the traditional adapter charging circuit, such as VCC capacitor CE7 with 4.7UF, needs to be done <0.5 seconds to start the state, the resistance R20+resistance R21 value needs to be in 750KΩ, all in the input of 230Vac, U=230V*1.414=325V, P=U*U / R calculate the loss P=0.14W, can not meet the European six level energy efficiency, and stable work after resistance R20 and resistance R21 always in series, loss always exist.
[0028] Please refer to Figure 3 , such as VCC capacitor CE3 with 4.7UF only in the moment of partial loss, start stable only resistance R1+resistance R2+resistance R3 loss, 3 resistance value is about 5.1MΩ, according to 230Vac input, U=230V*1.414=325V, P=U*U / R calculate the loss P=0.021W, only 1 / 7 of the traditional circuit loss, plus the loss of other circuit of the adapter, can be far less than the European six level energy efficiency standard, to start time <0.5 seconds, and meet the energy efficiency standard effect.
