Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of electronic circuit technology, and specifically relates to a winding multiplexing flyback circuit. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the development trend of switching power supplies is towards higher frequencies and smaller sizes. However, the development of higher frequencies brings EMI performance issues. To solve these EMI problems, the industry usually uses a "sandwich" winding method for transformers, dividing the primary winding into at least two windings and winding a secondary winding in a sandwich structure. Figure 2 This winding method requires the transformer bobbin to have a sufficient number of pins for wire insertion into the PCB board. In switching power supplies, the high-frequency transformer is a crucial component; its size and volume determine the overall size of the power supply. The transformer's power rating is related to the coil current carrying capacity, the bobbin's specifications, and the core's specifications. Therefore, reducing the transformer's size within the same power rating is critical. Currently, if the existing bobbin doesn't have enough pins, the only solution is to modify the bobbin size, increasing the number of pins, which inevitably increases the transformer's size. This increased transformer size leads to wasted space in the switching power supply and a larger PCB area. This contradicts the miniaturization trend of switching power supplies and significantly increases R&D costs. Utility Model Content

The opposite end of the secondary winding is connected to the second end of the rectifier output unit. The output end of the VCC power supply unit is connected to the input end of the main control unit. The output end of the main control unit is connected to the control end of the switching unit.
[0026] In the first embodiment, the energy storage unit is a first capacitor C1, the main control unit is a control chip U1, the switching unit is a first switching transistor Q1, and the first switching transistor can be implemented using switching devices such as MOS transistors, field-effect transistors or transistors. In this embodiment, the first switching transistor is an NMOS transistor; the sampling unit is a first resistor R1, the VCC power supply unit includes a first diode D1 and a second capacitor C2, and the rectifier output unit includes a second diode D2 and a third capacitor C3.
[0027] See Figure 3 The connection method is as follows: the positive input port VIN+ is connected to the positive terminal of the first capacitor C1 and the opposite terminal of the first primary winding S1 of the high-frequency transformer; the same terminal of the first primary winding S1 is connected to the drain of the first switching transistor Q1; the source of the first switching transistor Q1 is connected to one end of the first resistor R1 and the CS sampling pin of the control chip U1; the other end of the first resistor R1 is connected to the ground pin of the control chip U1, the negative terminal of the second capacitor C2, and the opposite terminal of the second primary winding of the high-frequency transformer; the same terminal of the second primary winding of the high-frequency transformer is connected to the first diode D1 of the VCC power supply unit.

The control chip U1, through the voltage of the first resistor R1, controls the output of a PWM wave to control the on and off of the first switching transistor Q1. When the PWM wave output by U1 is high, the first primary winding S1 and the second primary winding S2 are energized and store energy. When the PWM wave output by U1 is low, the polarity of the first primary winding S1 and the second primary winding S2 changes, and the stored energy is transferred to the secondary side for demagnetization. At the same time, the second capacitor C2 is charged. The turns ratio of the first primary winding S1 and the second primary winding S2 is determined by the output voltage of the secondary side of the winding and the supply voltage of U1 during normal operation. This utility model patent can achieve the function of a traditional flyback converter while reducing one VCC winding.
