Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of circuit technology, and in particular to a short-circuit protection circuit. Background Technology

[0002] Flyback switching power supplies are widely used in consumer electronics, such as charging station power supplies, LED power supplies, and mobile phone chargers. Flyback circuits have a simple topology, require fewer components, and can achieve multiple outputs. They are commonly used to power control circuits, protection circuits, communication circuits, and switching transistor drive circuits in power supplies. This type of flyback circuit is generally referred to as the auxiliary power supply circuit of a switching power supply.

[0003] The operation of a flyback power supply affects the reliability of the entire switching power supply; therefore, short-circuit protection is one of the most important functions of a flyback power supply. Traditional flyback power supplies achieve short-circuit protection using the chip's internal overcurrent protection function. When the power supply output circuit is open, the chip's protection activates, stopping PWM waveform generation. This function detects the peak current of the primary winding to achieve short-circuit protection. However, when the input voltage range of the flyback power supply is wide, it is difficult to set the primary protection current threshold. If the primary protection current threshold is set too high, the short-circuit current in the output circuit will not reach the protection current threshold, and the chip's internal overcurrent protection function will not activate. If the primary protection current is set too low, the overcurrent protection will be triggered before full load is reached when the input voltage is low, resulting in the inability to output at full load.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a short-circuit protection circuit that enables wide input voltage and allows the flyback power supply to achieve output short-circuit protection. Utility Model Content

The opposite-named terminal of T1-A is connected to the positive input Vin, and the same-named terminal is connected to the drain of the switching MOSFET Q1. The source of Q1 is connected to ground GND via the current sampling resistor R6. The anode of D1 is connected to the drain of Q1, and the cathode of D1 is connected to Vin via parallel resistors R1 and C1. R1, C1, and D1 form an RCD snubber circuit. CS is connected to pin 3 of U1. R2 is a high-voltage start-up resistor, with one end connected to Vin and the other end connected to pin 6 of U1 and VCC. The drive output OUTPUT of U1 is connected to the gate of Q1 via pin 7 through the current-limiting resistor R3. The reference voltage VREF of U1 is connected to Voff of U1 and pin 4 via R5. Pin 4 is connected to ground GND via C2. R5 and C2 form an oscillation circuit. The reference voltage VREF is connected to pin 3 of optocoupler OT1_B via resistor R4. Pin 4 of OT1_B is grounded to GND, and pin 8 of U1 is connected to GND. The same-name terminal of the flyback transformer secondary winding T1_B is connected to the anode of D2, and the cathode of D2 is connected to the output Vout. C3 is a filter capacitor, and the opposite-name terminal of T1_B is connected to DGND. Vout is connected to pin 1 of optocoupler OT1_A via resistor R7, and pin 2 of OT1_A is connected to pin 3 of Z1.

It should be further noted that any other components used to achieve the above effects should fall within the inventive concept of this utility model and should be protected within the scope of this utility model.

[0033] Working principle:

[0034] When the switch is turned on normally, the Vout voltage has not yet been established, the optocoupler OT2 is not working, and OT2_B is in a high impedance state. Due to the current limiting of R12 and the relatively large capacitance value of C5, the voltage of C5 is approximately 0V when the switch is turned on. At this time, Q2 is in the cutoff state, and the voltage of Voff is determined by VREF.

[0035] When the VCC voltage reaches the turn-on voltage of U1, VREF rises to 5V, the oscillation circuit composed of R5 and C2 works, U1 generates waves normally, the Vout voltage rises to the rated voltage, OT2 is in the conducting state, and the voltage of C5 is still 0V.

[0036] When a short circuit fault occurs at the output of the switching power supply, the output voltage Vout drops, the optocoupler current of OT2_A decreases, and OT2_B exhibits a high impedance state. At this time, C5 is charged by the VREF voltage, the base voltage of Q2 rises, the base current increases, the transistor saturates and conducts, the Voff voltage is pulled low, the oscillation circuit does not work, and chip U1 stops working. After the chip stops working, the VREF voltage decreases, capacitor C5 discharges, the base voltage of Q2 drops, the base current decreases, the transistor gradually enters the cutoff region, and the Voff voltage is not pulled low. At this time, the chip resumes its working state. The flyback auxiliary power supply then enters a power-on-power-off-power-hiccup state. The frequency of the hiccups depends on the capacitance of C5 and the resistance values ​​of R11 and R12.

[0037] When the output short circuit fault is cleared, the voltage of C5 is consumed by R13 and R14 to a low level, Q2 enters the cutoff state, and pin 4 of U1 normally generates an oscillation signal from VREF, and U1 resumes normal operation.

[0038] Although the embodiments of this utility model have been disclosed above, they are not limited to the applications listed in the specification and embodiments. They can be applied to various fields suitable for this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other modifications can be easily made. Therefore, without departing from the general concept defined by the claims and their equivalents, this utility model is not limited to the specific details and the illustrations shown and described herein.
