Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of circuit technology, and in particular to a current peak protection circuit. Background Technology
[0002] In a PFC circuit, the input current is a 50Hz alternating current. To prevent excessive current from damaging the transistor, a differential sampling circuit is usually used to convert the current into a small voltage signal and send it to the MCU. After conversion by an ADC, the protection reaches the corresponding maximum or minimum voltage value. The MCU immediately shuts down the drive to turn off the transistor. However, the processing and drive shutdown time of the chip generally takes tens to hundreds of milliseconds. If the chip processing time is too long, the current will continue to rise during this process, and the transistor will be damaged because the current exceeds the maximum allowable current.
[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a current peak protection circuit to solve the problem of transistors in PFC circuits being damaged due to excessive current. Utility Model Content

[0025] Please see Figure 1As shown, this utility model provides a current peak protection circuit, including a sampling resistor RS1. The sampling resistor RS1 is connected in series to the sampling point of the circuit to be controlled. In this embodiment, one end of the sampling resistor RS1 is connected to port A1, and the other end of the sampling resistor RS1 is connected to port A2.

One end of the sampling resistor RS1 is connected to one end of the inductor L1, and the other end of the inductor L1 is connected to one end of the resistor R1. The other end of the resistor R1 is connected to one end of the capacitor C1 and pin 2 of the chip U1. The other end of the sampling resistor RS1 is connected to one end of the inductor L2, and the other end of the inductor L2 is connected to one end of the resistor R2. The other end of the resistor R2 is connected to the other end of the capacitor C1, one end of the capacitor C2, one end of the resistor R3, pin 4 of the chip U1, and port GND1. Pin 1 of the chip U1 is connected to one end of the capacitor C3 and port VCC1. The other end of the capacitor C3 is connected to port GND1. Pin 3 of the chip U1 is connected to the other end of the capacitor C2 and the other end of the resistor R3. Pin 1 of the chip U1 is connected to one end of the capacitor C4, and the other end of the capacitor C4 is connected to port GND1. Port VCC1 is connected to a 5V power supply.
[0026] Pin 5 of chip U1 is connected to pin 7 of chip U1, port GND2, and one end of capacitor C5. Pin 6 of chip U1 is connected to the other end of capacitor C5, one end of resistor R4, and the negative terminal of diode D1. The positive terminal of diode D1 is connected to port OCP.

The chip U1 is an NSI22C12.
[0027] Specifically, an AC current peak protection circuit includes a current conversion section, a chip sampling section, and a chip processing section.
[0028] Current conversion section: AC current passes through sampling resistor RS1 to form a continuous sinusoidal voltage signal UINP.
[0029] Chip sampling section: The primary input of chip U1 is powered by 5V-A (VCC1). Resistor R3 sets the reference value UREF, where UREF = 100uA * R3. For example, if RS1 is set to 0.0005Ω and the peak current is 120A to trigger protection, the resistance of R3 can be determined as 120 * 0.0005 / 100uA = 600Ω. When the sinusoidal voltage signal applied to the sampling resistor RS1 is filtered by L1, R1, C1, R2, and L2, it enters pin 2 "INP" of chip U1. If the absolute value of the maximum or minimum voltage of UINP is less than UREF, chip U1 does not perform any processing.
[0030] Chip processing section: The secondary power supply of chip U1 is provided by 5V-B (VCC2). Pin 6 "OUT1" is pulled up to a high level through resistor R4. When the absolute value of the maximum or minimum voltage of UINP is greater than UREF, chip U1 quickly pulls the internal voltage of pin 6 "OUT1" to a low level, that is, the "OCP" port is quickly pulled to a low level. The input port "OCP" of the MCU chip detects the low level and quickly turns off all transistors.

They can be applied to various fields suitable for this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other modifications can be easily made.
