Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model specifically relates to a simple high-current dual-power automatic switching power supply circuit. Background Technology
[0002] Each of the two power supplies is connected in series with a rectifier diode to the output terminal. Due to the unidirectional conductivity of the diodes, the output voltage is always the highest voltage from the two power supplies. The disadvantages of this method are: the diodes overheat significantly as the load current increases, requiring high-power diodes to handle high-current applications. Furthermore, the dual power supplies lack priority, resulting in uncontrolled power supply operation.
[0003] For example, attached Figure 1 As shown, conventional dual power supply systems currently use two diodes that are isolated from each other for power supply. The biggest drawback of this circuit is that the load current cannot be too large, otherwise the isolated diodes will overheat severely.
[0004] The MCU detects the voltage of the dual power supplies and selectively turns on the corresponding power supply switch based on the connected power supply. The main drawback of this method is its slow response time; it requires the MCU to detect the correct voltage before it can execute the action, and the load briefly stops working during the switching process, affecting the user experience. Summary of the Invention

The common terminal between the drain (D) of the first field-effect transistor Q1 and the third field-effect transistor Q3 is connected to the VOUT terminal.
[0007] Specifically further, the first power input end VIN1 is connected with the B pole of the transistor Q4 through the fourth resistance R4.
[0008] Specifically further, the G pole of the second field effect transistor Q2 is connected with the C pole of the transistor Q4 through the second resistance R2.

The embodiments described below by reference to the drawings are exemplary only, and are used only for explaining the present application, and cannot be understood as limiting the present application.
[0018] The embodiments of the present application are described below in detail, examples of which are shown in the drawings, wherein the same or similar notations represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below by reference to the drawings are exemplary only, and are used only for explaining the present application, and cannot be understood as limiting the present application. Figures 2 to 3 The embodiments of the present application are described below in detail, examples of which are shown in the drawings, wherein the same or similar notations represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below by reference to the drawings are exemplary only, and are used only for explaining the present application, and cannot be understood as limiting the present application.
[0019] The circuit is switched through the VIN1 end and the VIN2 end through the dual power supply switching circuit, and the VOUT value of the dual power supply switching circuit is only about 0.2V lower than the voltage of VIN1 or VIN2. Among them, the voltage drop between the D pole and the S pole of the first field effect tube Q1, the second field effect tube Q2 and the third field effect tube Q3 of the dual power supply switching circuit is used, compared with the existing MCU detection dual power supply circuit, which can realize simple circuit and reduce cost; compared with the conventional dual power supply circuit using two diodes, the circuit can realize large current power supply and fast automatic response to power supply switching.
[0020] The first power input end VIN1 and the B pole of the triode Q4 are connected through the fourth resistor R4. The fourth resistor R4 plays a role of limiting voltage, and is used for protecting the B pole of the triode Q4.
[0021] The G pole of the second field effect tube Q2 and the C pole of the triode Q4 are connected through the second resistor R2. The second resistor R2 plays a role of voltage division, and is used for protecting the second field effect tube Q2 and the triode Q4.
[0022] The common terminal between the G terminal of the first field effect transistor Q1 and the G terminal of the second field effect transistor Q2 is connected with the first resistor R1, and the common terminal between the S terminal of the first field effect transistor Q1 and the D terminal of the second field effect transistor Q2 is connected with the other end of the first resistor R1. The first resistor R1 prevents the simultaneous conduction of the upper and lower bridge arms, causing a short circuit.
[0023] The first power input terminal VIN1 and the G terminal of the third field effect transistor Q3 are connected through the third resistor R3. The third resistor R3 functions as a voltage limiter for protecting the G terminal of the third field effect transistor Q3.
[0024] The common terminal between the G terminal of the third field effect transistor Q3 and the third resistor R3 is connected with the fifth resistor R5, the fifth resistor R5 is connected with the ground terminal GND, and the common terminal between the fifth resistor R5 and the ground terminal GND is connected with the VOUT terminal through the first capacitor.
[0025] The application scenario of the circuit is that two power supplies supply power to the same load, and the overall power supply is not affected regardless of plugging in any power supply. The first power input terminal VIN1 and the second power input terminal VIN2 are equivalent to two power supplies, and the VOUT terminal is the output to the load. After the double power supply switching circuit, the voltage value of the VOUT terminal is only about 0.2V lower than that of the first power input terminal VIN1 or the second power input terminal VIN2, because of the voltage drop between the D terminal and the S terminal of the first field effect transistor Q1, the second field effect transistor Q2 and the third field effect transistor Q3.
[0026] When only the second power input terminal VIN2 is input, the second power input terminal VIN2 reaches the VOUT terminal through the third field effect transistor Q3. At this time, the Vsg of the third field effect transistor Q3 is the voltage of the second power input terminal VIN2, which satisfies the N field effect opening condition, and the third field effect transistor Q3 is completely turned on. At this time, the D terminal and the S terminal of the third field effect transistor Q3 are approximately short-circuited, and the voltage of the VOUT terminal is equal to the voltage of the second power input terminal VIN2.
[0027] When only the first power input terminal VIN1 is input, the voltage on the first power input terminal VIN1 opens the triode Q4 through the fourth resistor R4, and then the Vsg of the first field effect transistor Q1 and the second field effect transistor Q2 is (first resistor R1 / (first resistor R1+second resistor R2))*first power input terminal VIN1. Vsg is greater than the starting voltage (generally about 2V) of the first field effect transistor Q1 and the second field effect transistor Q2, so the first field effect transistor Q1 and the second field effect transistor Q2 are turned on at the same time, and the VOUT terminal is approximately short-circuited. The voltage of the VOUT terminal is equal to the voltage of the first power input terminal VIN1.
[0028] When the first power input terminal VIN1 and the second power input terminal VIN2 are input simultaneously, Vsg of the third field effect tube Q3 = VOUT terminal - (fifth resistor R5 / (third resistor R3 + fifth resistor R5)) * first power input terminal VIN1. Since the resistance value of the fifth resistor R5 is much greater than the resistance value of the third resistor R3, Vsg of the third field effect tube Q3 is approximately equal to the voltage of the VOUT terminal - the voltage of the first power input terminal VIN1, at this time, Vsg is less than or equal to 0, not meeting the N field effect starting voltage, the third field effect tube Q3 is closed, and the voltage of the VOUT terminal = the voltage of the first power input terminal VIN1.
[0029] Although the embodiments of the utility model have been shown and described, those skilled in the art can understand that various changes, modifications, replacements and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and purposes of the utility model, the scope of the utility model is defined by the claims and its equivalents.
