Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a power supply circuit, specifically, to a DC / DC 300W single-output converter circuit. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, due to the continuous development of distributed power supply systems, the growth rate of high-power power modules has exceeded that of primary power supplies. With the extensive use of semiconductor processes, packaging technologies, and high-frequency soft switching, power density is increasing and conversion efficiency is rising, ushering in a new era for high-power power modules.
[0003] With the rapid development of high-power power module technology, the requirements for high-power power modules in fields such as power systems, scientific experiments, and aerospace are becoming increasingly stringent. In addition to strict requirements on power density and basic electrical parameters, the reliability requirements for high-power power modules have become more stringent, and the overcurrent and short-circuit protection issues of high-power power modules have received attention.
[0004] Taking power system applications as an example, when the load of a high-power power module is inductive or capacitive, the power module output will experience prolonged overcurrent and short circuit phenomena. If the power module does not have certain protection functions, the power module feedback loop will stop working, no longer supplying power to the internal pulse width modulator. The temperature of the input voltage regulator circuit will rise sharply, losing its voltage regulation function, and ultimately burning out the pulse width modulator, causing damage to the power module. In severe cases, it will burn out downstream electrical equipment, causing unpredictable losses. Utility Model Content
