The invention discloses a
forward converter soft switching control circuit, belongs to the technical field of analog integrated circuits, and aims at solving the problems that an existing dead zone control scheme is poor in self-adaption and low in precision, and
system delay is difficult to compensate. The circuit comprises a zero-
voltage switch detection circuit, a
charge pump phase
discriminator and a
voltage-controlled
dead time circuit which form a closed-loop
negative feedback loop, wherein the zero-
voltage switch detection circuit monitors the drain voltage of a main switching tube and generates a ZVS pulse during zero passage; the
charge pump phase
discriminator compares the
phase difference between the ZVS pulse and the rising edge of the driving
signal of the main switching tube, and outputs an error voltage; the voltage-controlled
dead time circuit linearly adjusts the
dead time according to the error voltage, so that the rising edge of the driving
signal is aligned with the drain voltage
zero crossing point. The circuit can automatically compensate driving time
delay, adaptively track working condition changes, realize
soft switching, reduce loss, optimize EMI, and give consideration to
high frequency and high efficiency of the converter.
