Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Speed
If an operational amplifier is used to perform operational amplification based on reference voltage and feedback voltage, then the switching circuit can obtain an adjustment signal for controlling switching state, but when the load is reduced, the output signal cannot be quickly restored, affecting dynamic response
Solution Approach 1:
The compensation circuit performs preliminary action by detecting the load change before the main operational amplifier can respond, and pre-adjusts the operational amplification signal to prevent the slow restoration issue. When the load is reduced, the compensation circuit immediately generates a compensation signal to counteract the expected slow response, thereby achieving fast dynamic response without waiting for the main operational amplifier's natural recovery.
2Device complexity
If the operational amplifier output is allowed to naturally respond to load changes, then the circuit structure remains simple, but output voltage overshoot occurs and the operational amplifier output cannot restore to target value quickly
Solution Approach 1:
The compensation circuit acts as an intermediary between the main operational amplifier and the switching circuit. It processes the feedback signal separately and generates a compensation signal that mediates the overall operational amplification signal, thereby improving output performance and preventing overshoot without requiring fundamental changes to the main operational amplifier structure.
3Adaptability or versatility
If frequent load changes occur, then the switching circuit must rapidly adapt, but the operational amplifier output restores slowly, affecting the next loading response
Solution Approach 1:
The compensation circuit utilizes feedback signal to detect load changes and adjusts the operational amplification signal accordingly. By continuously monitoring the feedback voltage and comparing it with the reference voltage, the compensation circuit generates real-time compensation signals that enable the switching circuit to rapidly adapt to frequent load changes, significantly improving both adaptability and restoration speed.

AI summary
Disclosed is an operational amplifier circuit and a switching circuit. The operational amplifier circuit comprises a main operational amplifier, which performs operational amplification based on a reference signal and a feedback signal of an output voltage of the switching circuit to obtain an operational amplification signal for controlling a switching state of the switching circuit, and generates an adjustment signal according to the feedback signal, the reference signal, and a preset first voltage. When a load of the switching circuit is reduced, an output terminal of the main operational amplifier receives the adjustment signal and obtains an adjusted operational amplification signal, and the adjustment signal is used for suppressing a change of the operational amplification signal. The operational amplification signal can be self-adaptively adjusted when the load is reduced, without detecting load change, thus the operational amplification signal can be quickly restored, the switching circuit has better output characteristics.
