The utility model belongs to the technical field of
switching power supplies, and particularly relates to a
capacitance monitoring and adjusting circuit of a
switching power supply. The power conversion circuit is connected with the input circuit; the
control circuit comprises a controller, a switch tube and a first
resistor, a first end of the controller is connected with the
electrolytic capacitor, a grid
electrode of the switch tube is connected with a second end of the controller, a drain
electrode of the switch tube is connected with the power conversion circuit, a first end of the first
resistor is connected with a third end of the controller, a source
electrode of the switch tube is connected, and a second end of the first
resistor is grounded; according to the
capacitor monitoring and adjusting circuit, the
capacitance of the
electrolytic capacitor is compared with the set threshold value through the controller, and when the
capacitance of the
electrolytic capacitor is smaller than the set threshold value, the controller adjusts the duty ratio of the switching tube and reduces the output power of the
switching power supply, so that the working
ripple current of the electrolytic
capacitor is reduced; the capacitance of the electrolytic
capacitor is monitored in real time on the premise that the
circuit complexity is not increased, so that the use safety of the switching power supply is improved.
