Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of voltage regulation circuit technology, specifically to an AC-DC switching step-down circuit. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, low-power non-isolated power supply circuits generally use BUCK circuits. The basic structure is shown in the lower left corner: equivalent circuit when the switch is on; lower right corner: equivalent circuit when the switch is off, or a BUCK-BOOST topology. Due to the internal MOS power limitations of the AC-DC power management chip, the output current is currently limited. If a high-power supply is required, a flyback circuit topology is chosen; however, flyback circuits are more expensive. For applications requiring two voltage outputs, a linear step-down converter or BUCK circuit is generally needed to generate a lower voltage for the 5V or 3.3V system. Using current solutions involves more circuit components and is also more expensive.
[0003] Based on this, the applicant proposes an AC-DC switching step-down circuit. Utility Model Content

[0007] The AC power input module includes L and N interfaces for connecting to a 220V AC power source and outputting high-voltage AC power to the rectifier module.
[0008] The rectifier module, including rectifier diode D2, is used to rectify 220V AC mains power into DC power output to the energy storage capacitor module;
[0009] The energy storage capacitor module includes energy storage capacitor EC1 and energy storage capacitor EC2, which are used to store the DC power rectified by the rectifier module in the capacitors.
[0010] The power management chip, including power chip U1, generates a PWM waveform, detects the output voltage, and adjusts the PWM duty cycle to stabilize the output voltage to the energy storage transformer.
[0011] Energy storage transformer, including transformer T1; used to reduce the output voltage of the secondary side and increase the output current of the secondary side, and can generate two power supply voltage outputs of 12V and 5V / 3.3V;
[0012] The power supply voltage output module includes two sets, which are used to connect and output 12V and 5V / 3.3V DC power respectively;
[0013] The mains input voltage is rectified into a pulsating DC waveform by rectifier diode D2, and then converted into DC by a filter energy storage circuit composed of energy storage capacitor EC1, inductor L1, and energy storage capacitor EC2. The high-voltage PWM waveform generated by power chip U1 then supplies energy to transformer T1. The energy stored in transformer T1 is then used by freewheeling diode D3, energy storage capacitor EC4, rectifier diode D4, and energy storage capacitor EC3 to generate two power supply voltages: 12V and +5V / 3.3V. Power chip U1 can adjust the duty cycle of the high-voltage PWM output to stabilize the +5V / 3.3V power supply voltage by sampling the voltage across voltage divider resistors R1 and R2.
[0014] Furthermore, it also includes a filter circuit, which consists of an inductor L1, an energy storage capacitor EC1, and an energy storage capacitor EC2. The inductor L1, the energy storage capacitor EC1, and the energy storage capacitor EC2 form a CLC-type Π-type filter circuit, which converts pulsating DC into DC.
[0015] Furthermore, it also includes an energy storage capacitor C1 used to power the power chip U1.
[0016] Furthermore, T1, the transformer, transfers the energy stored at pins 6 and 10 to pins 5 and 2 according to the transformer's turns ratio, thereby reducing the secondary side's output voltage and increasing the secondary side's output current.

[0018] This invention addresses the problems of small output circuit size in existing non-isolated buck switching power supply circuits and high cost of using flyback circuits to increase output current, thereby reducing heat generation in subsequent circuits and reducing circuit cost.
