[0029] Working principle:
[0030] The main function of this circuit is to implement input undervoltage protection based on the TL431, and it also has an undervoltage hysteresis function. U5 is a TL431, and its pin 1 reference voltage is 2.5V. The input AC voltage is rectified by diodes D1 and D2. R57, R52, R54, R53, and R20 form a resistor voltage divider circuit, and C18 is a high-voltage filter electrolytic capacitor. The input AC voltage passes through the rectifier bridge BRG1 and the electrolytic capacitor C1, and the rectified voltage is a DC voltage. The voltage across the electrolytic capacitor C1 is extracted, and after being divided by 12 resistors R30, R41, R42, R26, R37, R38, R25, R34, R36, R22, R32, and R33, it is connected to pin 3 of U5.
[0031] Under normal operating conditions, the voltage across VR20 reaches 2.5V, meaning the voltage at pin 1 of U5 reaches 2.5V. Pins 2 and 3 of U5 are conducting. At this time, the voltage on C1 forms a circuit to ground through R30, R41, R42, R26, R37, R38, R25, R34, R36, R22, R32, R33 and pins 2 and 3 of U5. Therefore, the Vgs voltage of Q9 is low, and pins D and S of Q9 are not conducting. The protection pin FB of the chip is not pulled low, and the chip works normally.
[0032] When V R20 When the voltage across the terminals is less than 2.5V, that is, when the voltage at pin 1 of U5 is below 2.5V, and pins 2 and 3 of U5 are cut off and not conducting, the voltage across C1, after passing through R30, R41, R42, R26, R37, R38, R25, R34, R36, R22, R32, and R33, forms a voltage divider with R43. R43The voltage across the two ends is the Vgs voltage of Q9, which, after series voltage division, becomes V. R43 When Vgs reaches the turn-on voltage of Q9, the D and S pins of Q9 are turned on, and the FB pin is pulled low to the negative output terminal, triggering the low-level protection of the IC's FB pin. At this time, it is the input undervoltage protection.
[0033] The undervoltage protection hysteresis function is implemented through R51, D3, and D7. D3 and D7 are reverse-current diodes to prevent voltage fluctuations at the FB pin or V. R20 The voltages of the two components interfere with each other; during undervoltage protection, because Q9 is grounded, R51 and R20 connected in parallel are equivalent to R57, R52, R54, R53, R20, and R51 forming a series voltage divider circuit, V R20 The voltage at pin 1 of U5 is lower than the voltage at protection time. The input voltage needs to be increased to raise the voltage at pin 1 of U5 to 2.5V before the undervoltage protection is released. Without this undervoltage hysteresis circuit, there is no hysteresis after the input is undervoltage, and the protection will be released quickly. The hysteresis value can be adjusted by adjusting the resistance value of R51.
[0034] Due to the operating voltage V of U5 KA The maximum value is 36V. If the V of AZ431AN is... KA When the voltage exceeds 36V, the 2.5V reference voltage of U5 will be unstable, and the reference voltage is prone to oscillation, leading to excessive deviation or even damage. Because this circuit is used for 90Vac~290Vac applications, when the input voltage is 290Vac, the voltage across C1 after rectification is 410V. If C1 is directly connected to pin 3 of U5, 410V far exceeds the required voltage. KA At a maximum voltage of 36V, U5 will break down and be directly damaged. Therefore, a voltage divider resistor is added to reduce the voltage at pin 3 of U5. R30, R41, R42, R26, R37, R38, R25, R34, R36, R22, R32, and R33 should be 1206 package resistors because the power rating of a 1206 package resistor cannot exceed 0.25W. Therefore, these resistors need to have large resistance values to prevent them from burning out due to exceeding their power rating under high voltage. Because the resistance values of R30, R41, R42, R26, R37, R38, R25, R34, R36, R22, R32, and R33 are very large, the current flowing through pins 3 and 2 of U5 is very small when pins 3 and 2 are conducting. Therefore, a TL431 resistor with low current draw should be selected. The reasons for choosing 1206 stainless steel for R30, R41, R42, R26, R37, R38, R25, R34, R36, R22, R32 and R33 are twofold: firstly, it can reduce costs, and secondly, it can reduce the space required for PCB layout.
[0035] The circuit parameters are as follows: In the voltage divider circuit for pin 1 of U5, resistor R57 has a resistance of 330KΩ, R52, R54, and R53 have resistances of 360KΩ, and R51 has a resistance of 120KΩ. These five resistors form the undervoltage protection point and recovery point for input undervoltage protection. The hysteresis resistor R51 determines the hysteresis value. Capacitor C18 has a capacitance of 10uF and is an electrolytic capacitor that filters and provides a stable voltage; its withstand voltage is 450V. C22 has a capacitance of 10nF and its function is to filter high-frequency interference, preventing malfunction of the U5 reference voltage. It also has a good interference removal effect for lightning strike and electrostatic discharge tests. Resistors R30, R25, R26, R22, R32, R34, R37, and R41 have resistances of 100KΩ, and R43 has a resistance of 10KΩ. These resistors determine the voltage drop of U5 after pins 3 and 2 are turned on. KA The withstand voltage should be less than 36V. When pins 2 and 3 of U5 are cut off, the Vgs voltage of Q9 reaches the Q9 conduction level, pulling down the voltage at pin FB to trigger protection. C20 is 10nF to prevent Q9 from being mis-conducted due to high-frequency signal interference, and it has good anti-interference capability against lightning strikes. Z1 is a 3.3V Zener diode to prevent the Vgs voltage of Q9 from being too high and breaking down the MOSFET Q9. D7 and D8 can be diodes with a withstand voltage of 1000V.
[0036] Circuit advantages: Wide-range undervoltage protection can be achieved using the TL431, and it has an undervoltage hysteresis function after undervoltage protection, providing excellent anti-interference capability. The TL431 reference voltage is stable, and the undervoltage protection point varies little. This circuit uses few components, most of which are surface-mount parts, resulting in low cost and small PCB layout space.
[0037] 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.
