Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to power electronics technical field especially relates to a low loss peak absorption's buck circuit. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the buck circuit, due to the parasitic inductance existing on the connecting line between the voltage input end and the switch tube Q1, when the switch tube is turned off, a great voltage peak will be generated due to the existence of the parasitic inductance L, and the greater the power and input current, the greater the voltage peak, which will increase the turn-off loss of the switch tube. The voltage peak and the input voltage are superimposed on both ends of the switch tube, in order to meet the voltage stress requirement of the switch tube and ensure the reliability of the circuit, a MOS tube with higher voltage resistance is often selected as the switch tube, and the on-resistance of the MOS tube with higher voltage resistance is greater, which will reduce the efficiency of the circuit and increase the cost. At the same time, the voltage peak will cause the output voltage ripple noise to be larger, which reduces the performance of the power supply.
[0003] In order to optimize the voltage peak of the switch tube of the buck circuit, an RCD absorption circuit (i.e. a circuit composed of a resistor R, a capacitor C and a diode D) is usually added at both ends of the switch tube, which has a good effect on absorbing the voltage peak at both ends of the switch tube Q1 (as shown in Figure 1 When the switch tube Q1 is turned off, the voltage peak at both ends of the switch tube Q1 charges the capacitor C through the diode D1, and when the switch tube Q1 is turned on, the capacitor C discharges through the resistor R and the switch tube Q1. According to the working principle of the RCD absorption circuit, the energy of the voltage peak at both ends of the switch tube Q1 is consumed on the resistor R, although this method can also improve the voltage peak, but the power consumption and temperature need to be considered in the selection of the device, and the space occupied is large.

[0020] Embodiment 1
[0021] Combined with Figure 2 and Figure 3 The embodiment discloses a low-loss peak absorption Buck circuit, which comprises a first switch tube Q1, an inductor L, an output capacitor Cout, an absorption circuit and a freewheeling circuit. The D pole of the first switch tube Q1 is connected with a voltage input end, another end of the first switch tube Q1 is connected with an input end of the freewheeling circuit, the absorption circuit is connected in parallel between the D pole and the S pole of the first switch tube Q1, the inductor L is connected in series between the S pole of the first switch tube Q1 and a voltage output end, the freewheeling circuit is connected in series between the S pole of the first switch tube Q1 and a signal ground end, and the output capacitor Cout is connected in series between the inductor L and the signal ground end.
[0022] The absorption circuit comprises a capacitor C, a first diode D1 and a second diode D2, one end of the capacitor C is connected between a voltage input end and a first switch tube Q1, the other end of the capacitor C is connected with the positive electrode of the first diode D1, the negative electrode of the first diode D1 is connected with the S pole of the first switch tube Q1, the negative electrode of the second diode D2 is connected between the capacitor C and the first diode D1, and the positive electrode of the second diode D2 is connected with a signal ground end. The first diode D1 and the second diode D2 are selected from patch diodes.
[0023] The low-loss peak absorption Buck circuit is only composed of the capacitor C and the two diodes D1 and D2. Since the capacitance of the capacitor C is much larger than the parasitic capacitance of the first switch tube Q1, when the first switch tube Q1 is turned off in the Buck circuit, the voltage peak generated by the parasitic inductance of the input connection line is mostly charged to the capacitor C through the first diode D1, thereby reducing the voltage peak between the two ends of the first switch tube Q1; when the first switch tube Q1 is turned on in the Buck circuit, the energy stored in the capacitor C is discharged to the input voltage through the second diode D2 until the voltage between the two ends of the capacitor C is approximately equal to the input voltage, and the energy of the voltage peak is returned to the input end for reuse.
[0024] According to the working principle of the absorption circuit, the energy of the voltage peak is stored in the capacitor C when the first switch tube Q1 is turned off. Different from the traditional RCD absorption circuit, the energy stored in the capacitor C can be released to the input voltage for reuse when the first switch tube Q1 is turned on, instead of being wasted on the resistor R, so that the voltage peak of the first switch tube Q1 is suppressed while the loss is almost not increased.
[0025] Embodiment 2
[0026] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that, as shown in Figure 2 The freewheeling circuit is a synchronous circuit, the synchronous circuit further comprises a second switch tube Q2, the D pole of the second switch tube Q2 is connected with the S pole of the first switch tube Q1, and the S pole of the second switch tube Q2 is connected with a signal ground end. The G poles of the first switch tube Q1 and the second switch tube Q2 are both provided with a driving circuit. The driving circuit comprises a second protective resistor RGS2 and a driving power supply, and the second protective resistor RGS2 is connected in parallel across the driving power supply. The VG2 pin is connected with the G pole of the second switch tube Q2, and the SGND pin is connected with SGND.
[0027] It can be known from the above-mentioned synchronous circuit that the circuit can realize the absorption of voltage peak at both ends of the first switch tube by only an absorption circuit composed of one capacitor and two diodes and the second switch tube Q1, reduce the loss, and almost achieve no loss after selecting appropriate devices, and the device has less heat, is easy to select, is more reliable, and occupies less space. The synchronous circuit does not need to set a resistance to absorb and lose the voltage peak at both ends of the first switch tube Q1, and greatly improves the efficiency of the circuit.
[0028] Embodiment 3
[0029] The difference between the embodiment and the embodiment 1 is that, as shown in the figure, Figure 3 the freewheeling circuit is an asynchronous circuit, the asynchronous circuit further comprises a freewheeling diode D and a first resistance R1, the first resistance R1 is connected in series between the second diode D2 and a signal ground end, a negative electrode of the freewheeling diode D is connected with an S pole of the switch tube Q1, and a positive electrode of the freewheeling diode D is connected with the signal ground end. The freewheeling diode D is selected to be a power diode; at the same time, a VG1 pin is connected with a G pole of the first switch tube Q1, and a VS1 pin is connected with an S pole of the first switch tube Q1.
[0030] As shown in the figure, Figure 3 in the embodiment, the freewheeling diode D can be selected to be a plug-in diode, which has a larger VF value than a patch diode, so as to avoid that, after the first switch tube Q1 is turned off, the freewheeling current does not flow through the freewheeling diode D to cause damage to the second diode D2, when the freewheeling diode D is used for freewheeling, a small resistance value of the first resistance R1 needs to be connected in series in the second diode D2 to increase the impedance of the second diode D2 branch, so as to avoid that the freewheeling current flows through the second diode D2 to cause damage.
[0031] Different from the resistance R in the traditional RCD absorption circuit, the first resistance R1 can play a role in increasing the impedance, instead of being used for consuming the peak energy, at the same time, a voltage I*R1 obtained by multiplying the first resistance R1 and a certain current is only required to be larger than a VF value of the freewheeling diode D under the current I, thereby reducing the loss and improving the circuit efficiency.
[0032] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present application, and is not used to limit the present application, any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
