Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of DC power supplies, specifically to a wide-range input boost closed-loop regulation circuit. Background Technology

[0002] A DC-DC converter, also known as a DC-DC power supply, is a device that converts DC power into DC (or near-DC) power at different voltages. Its power range can be very wide, from small to very large, and it is widely used in electronic equipment, communication equipment, and industrial control systems. A DC-DC power supply not only converts one DC voltage to another, but also outputs a stable DC voltage unaffected by input voltage fluctuations and load changes.

[0003] DC-DC boost converters provide a lower DC voltage to the battery and boost it to the required voltage value, and are commonly used devices in the market. However, when the input range of a DC-DC boost converter is wide, the output often varies greatly, making it difficult to achieve a regulated output. To achieve output voltage regulation, hard switching is often used. However, hard switching leads to low efficiency, exacerbates the difficulty of heat dissipation systems, and also causes significant interference with electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) regulations. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a wide-range input boost closed-loop regulation circuit with regulated output. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the problems and shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a wide-range input boost closed-loop regulation circuit. It utilizes a resonant module combined with a transformer to obtain the resonant frequency, which is then used as a soft switch for the MOSFETs within the inverter module. This soft switching allows for adjustment of the MOSFETs' duty cycle, thereby achieving stable control of the output voltage. This solves the problems mentioned in the background section.

While some embodiments of this disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that this disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a more thorough and complete understanding of this disclosure. It should be understood that the accompanying drawings and embodiments of this disclosure are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0017] It should also be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts relevant to the invention are shown in the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this disclosure can be combined with each other.

[0018] Example

[0019] This embodiment provides a wide-range input boost closed-loop regulation circuit, referring to... Figure 1As shown, this utility model includes a DC power supply, an inverter module, a transformer, a resonant module, a rectifier module, and a controller. The output terminal of the DC power supply is connected to the input terminal of the inverter module, the output terminal of the inverter module is connected to the primary coil of the transformer, the secondary coil of the transformer is connected to the input terminal of the resonant module, the output terminal of the resonant module is connected to the input terminal of the rectifier module, the output terminal of the rectifier module is connected to the input terminal of the controller, and finally, the output terminal of the controller is connected to the inverter module.

[0020] A DC power supply connects to an inverter module to provide DC voltage. The input DC voltage is converted into pulse-width modulated (PWM) AC voltage by the inverter module. The modulated AC voltage is then sent to a transformer for amplification. After amplification, the resonant frequency is calculated using the transformer's leakage inductance and a resonant module. This resonant frequency is then converted back to DC voltage by a rectifier module. The rectifier module connects to a controller, which in turn connects to the inverter module, providing a stable control voltage to control the on / off state of the MOSFETs within the inverter module. This allows for voltage regulation by adjusting the MOSFET's duty cycle. In other words, the duty cycle is achieved through pulse-width modulation (PWM) technology. The duty cycle represents the proportion of the MOSFET's on-time to the entire switching cycle; adjusting this proportion allows for precise control of the circuit performance.

[0021] Reference Figure 2 As shown, the inverter module includes an inverter bridge composed of four MOSFETs, represented as MOSFETs Q1, Q3, Q2, and Q4. The resonant module includes a resonant inductor L1 and a resonant capacitor C1. The rectifier module includes a rectifier bridge composed of four rectifier diodes, represented as rectifier diodes D1, D2, D3, and D4, and also includes a filter capacitor C2 and two voltage divider resistors R1 and R2.

[0022] The positive terminal of the DC power supply is connected to the drain of MOSFETs Q1 and Q2. The gates of MOSFETs Q1 and Q2 are connected to the controller. The sources of MOSFETs Q1 and Q2 are connected to the drain of MOSFETs Q3 and Q4. The gates of MOSFETs Q3 and Q4 are connected to the controller. The sources of MOSFETs Q3 and Q4 are connected to the negative terminal of the DC power supply. The primary winding of transformer T1 is connected between MOSFETs Q1 and Q3, and between MOSFETs Q2 and Q4. One end of the secondary winding of transformer T1 is connected to resonant inductor L1 and resonant capacitor C1. Rectifier diodes D1, D2, D3, and D4 are connected to form a rectifier bridge. The resonant capacitor C1 and the secondary winding of transformer T1 are connected to the input terminal of the rectifier bridge; that is, one end of resonant capacitor C1 is connected between rectifier diodes D1 and D3, and the other end of the secondary winding of transformer T1 is connected between rectifier diodes D2 and D4. A filter capacitor C2 is connected in parallel to the output of the rectifier bridge, and voltage divider resistors R1 and R2 are also connected in parallel. The controller is then connected to point M between voltage divider resistors R1 and R2.

[0023] The resonant frequency f can be calculated by adding the leakage inductance of transformer T1, the resonant inductance L1, and the resonant capacitor C1. The switching frequency of the MOSFETs in the inverter module is then controlled by the controller. Since the MOSFET switching frequency is equal to the resonant frequency f, an initial duty cycle of 50% achieves soft switching. When the input voltage is too high, since the transformer turns ratio remains unchanged, the duty cycle of the MOSFETs needs to be appropriately adjusted to stabilize the output voltage.

[0024] Specific implementation effects

[0025] The following is an input boost closed-loop regulation circuit designed using this utility model, with an input range of DC 20V~30V and an output of 360V. Refer to the specific wiring method. Figure 2 As shown. The DC power supply is adjustable from 20V to 30V. The MOSFET is NCEP023N10T from Wuxi Xinjieneng Technology Co., Ltd. The controller is SG3525AP013TR from STMicroelectronics. The transformer T1 has a 1:18 turns ratio and a leakage inductance of 22uH. The resonant inductor L1 is 54uH and the resonant capacitor C1 is 68nF.

[0026] The resonant frequency is calculated to be... The output of the regulating controller SG3525AP013TR is 70kHz. MOSFETs Q1 and Q4 share the same control signal, as do MOSFETs Q2 and Q3, and these signals are complementary to those of MOSFETs Q1 and Q4. The initial duty cycle is 50%. When the input voltage is 20V, the output is 360V due to the 1:18 turns ratio of transformer T1, requiring no duty cycle adjustment. Simultaneously, the resonance keeps the MOSFETs in a soft-switching state, reducing switching losses. When the input is 30V, the output is 540V due to the 1:18 turns ratio, requiring a duty cycle adjustment to 33.3%. Since the switching frequency remains at the resonant frequency, it still functions as a soft switch, thus achieving voltage regulation.
