用于切换式电压转换器的初始电压建立电路 Initial voltage settling circuit for switching voltage converters

发明领域field of invention

本发明涉及一种初始电压建立电路,尤其涉及一种用于切换式电压转换器的初始电压建立电路。The present invention relates to an initial voltage establishment circuit, in particular to an initial voltage establishment circuit for a switching voltage converter.

技术背景technical background

图1示出了公知的切换式电压转换器10的电路图。切换式电压转换器10为升压型,即将较低的输入电压Vin转换为较高的输出电压Vout。电感器L耦合于输入电压Vin与切换节点SN之间。上侧开关SH耦合于切换节点SN与输出端O之间,而下侧开关SL则耦合于切换节点SN与地面电位间。此外,输出电容Co耦合于输出端O,以便对输出电压Vout进行滤波。在图1所示的例子中,上侧开关SH由PMOS晶体管实现而下侧开关SL则由NMOS晶体管实现。切换控制电路11对驱动电路12施加切换控制信号CS,以产生上侧驱动信号PH和下侧驱动信号PL。上侧驱动信号PH决定上侧开关SH导通与否,而下侧驱动信号PL决定下侧开关SL导通与否。FIG. 1 shows a circuit diagram of a known switched-mode voltage converter 10 . The switching voltage converter 10 is a boost type, that is, it converts a lower input voltage V in into a higher output voltage V out . The inductor L is coupled between the input voltage Vin and the switching node SN. The upper switch SH is coupled between the switching node SN and the output terminal O, and the lower switch SL is coupled between the switching node SN and the ground potential. In addition, the output capacitor C o is coupled to the output terminal O to filter the output voltage V out . In the example shown in FIG. 1, the upper switch SH is realized by a PMOS transistor and the lower switch SL is realized by an NMOS transistor. The switching control circuit 11 applies a switching control signal CS to the driving circuit 12 to generate an upper driving signal PH and a lower driving signal PL. The upper drive signal PH determines whether the upper switch SH is turned on or not, and the lower drive signal PL determines whether the lower switch SL is turned on or not.

具体而言,切换控制电路11基于输出电压Vout的反馈决定切换控制信号CS的工作比·(Duty Cycle),以把输出电压Vout调节到一个目标值。切换控制电路11具有一个反馈电路13、一个误差放大器14、一个PWM比较器15、一个参考电压产生电路16以及一个振荡信号发生电路17,这些组件彼此耦合形成如图所示的结构。当输出电压Vout低于目标值时,从切换控制电路11所输出的切换控制信号CS提供一个较大的工作比,以提高输出电压Vout。当输出电压Vout高于目标值时,从切换控制电路11输出的切换控制信号CS提供一个较小的工作比,以降低输出电压VoutSpecifically, the switching control circuit 11 determines the duty cycle (Duty Cycle) of the switching control signal CS based on the feedback of the output voltage V out , so as to adjust the output voltage V out to a target value. The switching control circuit 11 has a feedback circuit 13 , an error amplifier 14 , a PWM comparator 15 , a reference voltage generating circuit 16 and an oscillation signal generating circuit 17 , and these components are coupled with each other to form a structure as shown in the figure. When the output voltage V out is lower than the target value, the switching control signal CS output from the switching control circuit 11 provides a larger duty ratio to increase the output voltage V out . When the output voltage V out is higher than the target value, the switching control signal CS output from the switching control circuit 11 provides a smaller duty ratio to reduce the output voltage V out .

在切换电压转换器10刚开始启动时,由于输出端O的输出电压Vout尚未建立而处于零电位,使得输出电压Vout和目标值之间差距最大,因此从切换控制电路11输出的切换控制信号CS的工作比扩展至最大值。此最大值工作比造成下侧开关SL长时间导通,导致大量的涌入电流产生,因而容易造成电路损坏。When the switching voltage converter 10 is just started, because the output voltage V out of the output terminal O has not yet been established and is at zero potential, the gap between the output voltage V out and the target value is the largest, so the switching control output from the switching control circuit 11 The duty cycle of signal CS is extended to a maximum value. This maximum duty ratio causes the lower side switch SL to be turned on for a long time, resulting in a large amount of inrush current, thus easily causing circuit damage.

图2示出了根据本发明的切换式电压转换器20的电路图,其中设有一个初始电压建立电路18。参照图2,切换式电压转换器20属于升压型,即将较低的输入电压Vin转换为较高的输出电压Vout。电感器L耦合于输入电压Vin与切换节点SN之间。上侧开关SH耦合于切换节点SN与输出端O之间,而下侧开关SL则耦合与切换节点SN与地面电位间。此外,输出电容Co耦合于输出端O,以便对输出电压Vout进行滤波。在图2所示的例子中,上侧开关SH由PMOS晶体管实现而下侧开关SL则由NMOS晶体管实现。上侧开关SH导通与否由上侧驱动信号PH决定,而下侧开关SL导通与否由下侧驱动信号PL决定。FIG. 2 shows a circuit diagram of a switched-mode voltage converter 20 according to the invention, in which an initial voltage establishment circuit 18 is provided. Referring to FIG. 2 , the switch-mode voltage converter 20 is a boost type, that is, it converts a lower input voltage V in into a higher output voltage V out . The inductor L is coupled between the input voltage Vin and the switching node SN. The upper switch SH is coupled between the switching node SN and the output terminal O, and the lower switch SL is coupled between the switching node SN and the ground potential. In addition, the output capacitor C o is coupled to the output terminal O to filter the output voltage V out . In the example shown in FIG. 2, the upper switch SH is realized by a PMOS transistor and the lower switch SL is realized by an NMOS transistor. Whether the upper switch SH is turned on or not is determined by the upper driving signal PH, and whether the lower switch SL is turned on or not is determined by the lower driving signal PL.

如前所述,在图1所示的公知的切换式电压转换器10中,上侧驱动信号PH与下侧驱动信号PL由驱动电路12基于切换控制信号CS而产生,其中切换控制信号CS由切换控制电路11产生。As mentioned above, in the known switch-mode voltage converter 10 shown in FIG. The switching control circuit 11 generates.

然而,在图2所示的依据本发明的切换式电压转换器20中,初始电压建立提供电路提供一个初始电压建立信号ES。在切换式电压转换器20刚开始启动时,信号选择电路19允许端点A耦合至驱动电路12,使得初始电压建立信号ES施加于驱动电路12而产生上侧驱动信号PH与下侧驱动信号PL。初始电压建立信号ES为一脉冲信号,其具有逐渐增大的工作比。具体而言,初始电压建立信号ES起初提供一个微小的工作比,随后工作比逐渐增大,使得输出端O的输出电压Vout从零电位逐渐上升到一个预定的初始输出电压。由于初始电压建立信号ES起初提供一个微小的工作比,因此在切换式电压转换器20刚开始启动时,可有效地防止大量的涌入电流产生。However, in the switching mode voltage converter 20 according to the present invention shown in FIG. 2 , the initial voltage establishment providing circuit provides an initial voltage establishment signal ES. When the switching mode voltage converter 20 starts up, the signal selection circuit 19 allows the terminal A to be coupled to the driving circuit 12 , so that the initial voltage setup signal ES is applied to the driving circuit 12 to generate the upper driving signal PH and the lower driving signal PL. The initial voltage setup signal ES is a pulse signal with a gradually increasing duty ratio. Specifically, the initial voltage setup signal ES initially provides a small duty ratio, and then gradually increases the duty ratio, so that the output voltage V out of the output terminal O gradually rises from zero potential to a predetermined initial output voltage. Since the initial voltage setup signal ES initially provides a small duty ratio, it can effectively prevent a large amount of inrush current when the switch-mode voltage converter 20 starts up.

在输入端O的输出电压Vout达到该预定的初始输出电压之后,信号选择电路19转而允许端点B耦合至驱动电路12,使得切换控制信号CS施加于驱动电路12,而产生上侧驱动信号PH与下侧驱动信号PL。在此阶段中,切换式电压转换器20的操作就变成如同前述切换式电压控制器10的公知操作。换言之,切换控制电路11具有一个反馈电路13、一个误差放大器14、一个PMW比较器15、一个参考电压产生电路16以及一个振荡信号发生电路17,这些组件彼此耦合形成如图所示的结构。当输出电压Vout低于目标值时,从切换控制电路11所输出的切换控制信号CS提供一个较大的工作比,以提高输出电压Vout。当输出电压Vout高于目标值时,从切换控制电路11所输出的切换控制信号CS提供一个较小的工作比,以降低输出电压Vout。由于输出端O的输出电压Vout已经由初始电压建立信号ES提高至该预定的初始输出电压,故切换控制信号CS的工作比不会扩展到最大值。因此,根据本发明的切换式电压转换器20有效地防止涌入电流造成电路损坏。After the output voltage V out of the input terminal O reaches the predetermined initial output voltage, the signal selection circuit 19 in turn allows the terminal B to be coupled to the driving circuit 12, so that the switching control signal CS is applied to the driving circuit 12 to generate the upper side driving signal PH and lower side drive signal PL. In this phase, the operation of the switching mode voltage converter 20 becomes like the known operation of the switching mode voltage controller 10 described above. In other words, the switching control circuit 11 has a feedback circuit 13 , an error amplifier 14 , a PWM comparator 15 , a reference voltage generating circuit 16 and an oscillation signal generating circuit 17 , and these components are coupled with each other to form a structure as shown in the figure. When the output voltage V out is lower than the target value, the switching control signal CS output from the switching control circuit 11 provides a larger duty ratio to increase the output voltage V out . When the output voltage V out is higher than the target value, the switching control signal CS output from the switching control circuit 11 provides a smaller duty ratio to reduce the output voltage V out . Since the output voltage V out of the output terminal O has been raised to the predetermined initial output voltage by the initial voltage setup signal ES, the duty ratio of the switching control signal CS will not expand to a maximum value. Therefore, the switch-mode voltage converter 20 according to the present invention effectively prevents circuit damage caused by the inrush current.

图3示出了根据本发明的初始电压建立电路18的详细电路图。如同所示,初始电压建立电路18具有一个电流调整电路31、一个电流供应电路32、一个充电/放电控制电路33以及一个振荡信号发生电路34。在电流调整电路31的控制下,电流供应电路32提供一个充电电流Ichg和一个放电电流Idis。充电电流Ichg和放电电流Idis的大小由电流调整电路31决定。充电/放电控制电路33选择性地允许充电电流Ichg和放电电流Idis通过。在充电阶段,充电/放电控制电路33允许充电电流Ichg对振荡信号发生电路34充电。在放电阶段,充电/放电控制电路33允许振荡信号发生电路经由放电电流Idis放电。通过利用充电电流Ichg和放电电流Idis,振荡信号发生电路34提供初始电压建立信号ES,其工作比由充电电流Ichg和放电电流Idis决定。响应于初始电压建立信号ES,电流调整电路31调整电流供应电路32所提供的充电电流Ichg与放电电流IdisFIG. 3 shows a detailed circuit diagram of the initial voltage establishment circuit 18 according to the present invention. As shown, the initial voltage establishing circuit 18 has a current regulating circuit 31 , a current supply circuit 32 , a charge/discharge control circuit 33 and an oscillation signal generating circuit 34 . Under the control of the current regulation circuit 31 , the current supply circuit 32 provides a charging current I chg and a discharging current I dis . The magnitudes of the charging current I chg and the discharging current I dis are determined by the current adjustment circuit 31 . The charging/discharging control circuit 33 selectively allows the charging current I chg and the discharging current I dis to pass. In the charging phase, the charging/discharging control circuit 33 allows the charging current I chg to charge the oscillation signal generating circuit 34 . In the discharging phase, the charging/discharging control circuit 33 allows the oscillation signal generating circuit to discharge via the discharging current Idis . By using the charging current I chg and the discharging current I dis , the oscillation signal generating circuit 34 provides the initial voltage establishment signal ES, the duty ratio of which is determined by the charging current I chg and the discharging current I dis . In response to the initial voltage setup signal ES, the current adjustment circuit 31 adjusts the charging current I chg and the discharging current I dis provided by the current supply circuit 32 .

电流调整电路31主要利用一个计数器CT计算初始电压建立信号ES的脉冲数目,并据此产生电流调整信号S1至S8以施加至电流供应电路32。计数器CT为一个n字节的计数逻辑电路,其输入端IN接收初始电压建立信号的脉冲数目。在根据本发明的一个实施例中,采用最大的四个字节信号Q(n-4)到Q(n-1)来产生第一至第八电流调整信号S1至S8。第一电流调整信号S1由第四个字节信号Q(n-4)经反相器K5与K6产生,而第二电流调整信号S2由第四个字节信号Q(n-4)经反相器K5产生。因此,第一与第二电流调整信号S1与S2彼此相位差180度。第三电流调整信号S3由第三个字节信号Q(n-3)经反相器K7与K8产生,而第四电流调整信号S4经第三个字节信号Q(n-3)经反相器K7产生。因此,第三与第四电流调整信号S3与S4彼此相位差180度。第五电流调整信号S5由第二个字节信号Q(n-2)经反相器K9与K10产生,而第六电流调整信号S6由第二个字节信号Q(n-2)经反相器K9产生。因此,第五与第六电流调整信号S5与S6彼此相位差180度。第七电流调整信号S7由第一个字节信号Q(n-1)经反相器K11与K12产生,而第八电流调整信号S8由第一个字节信号Q(n-1)经反相器K11产生。因此,第七与第八电流调整信号S7与S8彼此相位差180度。The current adjustment circuit 31 mainly uses a counter CT to count the number of pulses of the initial voltage establishment signal ES, and accordingly generates current adjustment signals S1 to S8 to be applied to the current supply circuit 32 . The counter CT is an n-byte counting logic circuit, and its input terminal IN receives the pulse number of the initial voltage establishment signal. In an embodiment according to the present invention, the largest four byte signals Q(n-4) to Q(n-1) are used to generate the first to eighth current adjustment signals S1 to S8. The first current adjustment signal S1 is generated by the fourth byte signal Q(n-4) through inverters K5 and K6, and the second current adjustment signal S2 is inverted by the fourth byte signal Q(n-4). Phase device K5 generates. Therefore, the phase difference between the first and second current adjustment signals S1 and S2 is 180 degrees. The third current adjustment signal S3 is generated by the third byte signal Q(n-3) through inverters K7 and K8, and the fourth current adjustment signal S4 is inverted by the third byte signal Q(n-3). Phase device K7 generates. Therefore, the phase difference between the third and fourth current adjustment signals S3 and S4 is 180 degrees. The fifth current adjustment signal S5 is generated by the second byte signal Q(n-2) through inverters K9 and K10, and the sixth current adjustment signal S6 is inverted by the second byte signal Q(n-2). Phase device K9 generates. Therefore, the fifth and sixth current adjustment signals S5 and S6 are 180 degrees out of phase with each other. The seventh current adjustment signal S7 is generated by the first byte signal Q(n-1) through inverters K11 and K12, and the eighth current adjustment signal S8 is inverted by the first byte signal Q(n-1). Phase device K11 generates. Therefore, the phase difference between the seventh and eighth current adjustment signals S7 and S8 is 180 degrees.

电流供应电路32主要具有七个电流源I0至I6。电流源I0固定施加于充电/放电控制电路33的充电晶体管Pchg,作为充电电流Ichg的一部分。电流源I5由晶体管N1与N2构成的电流镜像施加于充电/放电控制电路33的放电晶体管Ndis,因而与电流源I6一起固定作为放电电流Idis的一部分。然而电流源I1至I4基于第一至第八电流调整信号S1至S8的选择控制而决定施加于充电晶体管Pchg或放电晶体管NdisThe current supply circuit 32 basically has seven current sources I 0 to I 6 . The current source I 0 is constantly applied to the charging transistor P chg of the charging/discharging control circuit 33 as a part of the charging current I chg . The current source I5 is mirrored by transistors N1 and N2 to the discharge transistor Ndis of the charge/discharge control circuit 33, thus being fixed together with the current source I6 as a part of the discharge current Idis . However, the current sources I 1 to I 4 are determined to be applied to the charge transistor P chg or the discharge transistor N dis based on the selection control of the first to eighth current adjustment signals S1 to S8 .

第一电流调整信号S1施加于PMOS晶体管P1的栅极,而第二电流调整信号S2施加于PMOS晶体管P2的栅极。当晶体管P1导通时,电流源I1作为充电电流Ichg的一部分,而当晶体管P2导通时,电流源I1则作为放电电流Idis的一部分。第三电流调整信号S3施加于PMOS晶体管P3的栅极,而第四电流调整信号S4施加于PMOS晶体管P4的栅极。当晶体管P3导通时,电流源I2作为充电电流Ichg的一部分,而当晶体管P4导通时,电流源I2则作为放电电流Idis的一部分。第五电流调整信号S5施加于PMOS晶体管P5的栅极,而第六电流调整信号S6施加于PMOS晶体管P6的栅极。当晶体管P5导通时,电流源I3作为充电电流Ichg的一部分,而当晶体管P6导通时,电流源I3则作为放电电流Idis的一部分。第七电流调整信号S7施加于PMOS晶体管P7的栅极,而第八电流调整信号S8施加于PMOS晶体管P8的栅极。当晶体管P7导通时,电流源I4作为充电电流Ichg的一部分,而当晶体管P8导通时,电流源I4则作为放电电流Idis的一部分。The first current adjustment signal S1 is applied to the gate of the PMOS transistor P1, and the second current adjustment signal S2 is applied to the gate of the PMOS transistor P2. When the transistor P1 is turned on, the current source I1 is used as a part of the charging current Ichg , and when the transistor P2 is turned on, the current source I1 is used as a part of the discharging current Idis . The third current adjustment signal S3 is applied to the gate of the PMOS transistor P3, and the fourth current adjustment signal S4 is applied to the gate of the PMOS transistor P4. When the transistor P3 is turned on, the current source I2 is used as a part of the charging current Ichg , and when the transistor P4 is turned on, the current source I2 is used as a part of the discharging current Idis . The fifth current adjustment signal S5 is applied to the gate of the PMOS transistor P5, and the sixth current adjustment signal S6 is applied to the gate of the PMOS transistor P6. When the transistor P5 is turned on, the current source I3 is used as a part of the charging current Ichg , and when the transistor P6 is turned on, the current source I3 is used as a part of the discharging current Idis .

When the transistor P7 is turned on, the current source I4 is used as a part of the charging current Ichg , and when the transistor P8 is turned on, the current source I4 is used as a part of the discharging current Idis .

现在将参照图3与图4详细说明根据本发明的初始电压建立电路18的操作方法如下。在图4所示的实施例中,n字节计数器CT使用七字节计数器,其产生七个输出信号Q0至Q6,用以代表由小到大的七个字节。输出信号Q6代表第一个字节,用以产生第七与第八电流调整信号S7与S8。输出信号Q5代表第二个字节,用以产生第五与第六电流调整信号S5与S6。输出信号Q4代表第三个字节,用以产生第三与第四电流调整信号S3与S4。输出信号Q3代表第三个字节,用以产生第一与第二电流调整信号S1与S2。The operation method of the initial voltage establishing circuit 18 according to the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4 as follows. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, the n-byte counter CT uses a seven-byte counter, which generates seven output signals Q0 to Q6 to represent seven bytes from small to large. The output signal Q6 represents the first byte and is used to generate the seventh and eighth current adjustment signals S7 and S8. The output signal Q5 represents the second byte and is used to generate the fifth and sixth current adjustment signals S5 and S6. The output signal Q4 represents the third byte and is used to generate the third and fourth current adjustment signals S3 and S4. The output signal Q3 represents the third byte and is used to generate the first and second current adjustment signals S1 and S2.

在初始电压建立电路18开始操作时,七字节计数器CT的清除端CLR被触发,使得七个输出信号Q0至Q6的初始状态皆设定为高电平H。因此,第一、第三、第五与第七电流调整信号S1、S2、S5与S7皆为高电平H,而第二、第四、第六与第八电流调整信号S2、S4、S6与S8皆为低电平L。结果,晶体管P1、P3、P5与P7都不导通,而晶体管P2、P4、P6与P8都导通。在这种情况下,充电电流Ichg等于I0,而放电电流Idis等于(I1+I2+I3+I4+I5+I6)。初始电压建立信号ES的低电位L使充电晶体管Pchg导通而允许充电电流Ichg施加于振荡信号发生电路34,导致振荡电容Cosc上的振荡电压Vosc持续升高。在振荡电压Vosc达到峰值电压Vp而触发具有磁滞效应的反相器K1后,初始电压建立信号ES转变位高电位H,使放电晶体管Ndis导通而允许振荡信号发生电路34通过放电电流Idis持续降低振荡电容Cosc上的振荡电压Vosc。因此,在图4的时间t0到t1中,工作比D0等于(I0/Itotal),其中Itotal=(Ichg+Idis)=(I0+I1+I2+I3+I4+I5+I6)。When the initial voltage establishing circuit 18 starts to operate, the clear terminal CLR of the seven-byte counter CT is activated, so that the initial states of the seven output signals Q0 to Q6 are all set to a high level H. Therefore, the first, third, fifth and seventh current adjustment signals S1, S2, S5 and S7 are all at high level H, while the second, fourth, sixth and eighth current adjustment signals S2, S4 and S6 Both S8 and S8 are low level L. As a result, the transistors P1 , P3 , P5 and P7 are all turned on, and the transistors P2 , P4 , P6 and P8 are all turned on. In this case, the charging current I chg is equal to I 0 , and the discharging current I dis is equal to (I 1 +I 2 +I 3 +I 4 +I 5 +I 6 ). The low potential L of the initial voltage setup signal ES turns on the charging transistor P chg to allow the charging current I chg to be applied to the oscillation signal generating circuit 34 , causing the oscillation voltage V osc on the oscillation capacitor C osc to continuously increase. After the oscillating voltage V osc reaches the peak voltage V p and triggers the inverter K1 with hysteresis effect, the initial voltage establishment signal ES changes to a high potential H, turning on the discharge transistor N dis and allowing the oscillating signal generating circuit 34 to discharge The current I dis continuously reduces the oscillating voltage V osc on the oscillating capacitor C osc . Therefore, during time t 0 to t 1 of FIG. 4 , the duty ratio D 0 is equal to (I 0 /I total ), where I total =(I chg +I dis )=(I 0 +I 1 +I 2 +I 3 +I 4 +I 5 +I 6 ).

当七字节计数器CT接收到初始电压建立信号ES的第八个脉冲时,输出信号[Q3,Q4,Q5,Q6]即转换成[L,H,H,H]。从高电位H转换成低电位L的输出信号Q3造成晶体管P1导通而晶体管P2不导通。结果,充电电流Ichg增大为(I0+I1),而放电电流Idis减小为(I2+I3+I4+I5+I6)。因此,在图4的时间t1到t2中,工作比D1等于[(I0+I1)/Itotal],其相对于前一阶段的D0略微增加。When the seven-byte counter CT receives the eighth pulse of the initial voltage setup signal ES, the output signal [Q3, Q4, Q5, Q6] is converted to [L, H, H, H]. The transition of the output signal Q3 from a high potential H to a low potential L causes the transistor P1 to be turned on and the transistor P2 to be turned off. As a result, the charging current I chg increases to (I 0 +I 1 ), and the discharging current I dis decreases to (I 2 +I 3 +I 4 +I 5 +I 6 ). Thus, in time t 1 to t 2 of FIG. 4 , duty ratio D 1 is equal to [(I 0 +I 1 )/I total ], which is slightly increased relative to D 0 of the previous stage.

随后,当七字节计数器CT接收到初始电压建立信号ES的第16个脉冲时,输出信号[Q3,Q4,Q5,Q6]即转换成[H,L,H,H]。从高电位H转换成低电位L的输出信号Q4造成晶体管P3导通而晶体管P4不导通。结果,充电电流Ichg增大为(I0+I2),而放电电流Idis减小为(I1+I3+I4+I5+I6)。。因此,在图4的时间t2至t3中,工作比D2系等于[(I0+I2)/Itotal],其相对于前一阶段的D1略微增加。Subsequently, when the seven-byte counter CT receives the 16th pulse of the initial voltage setup signal ES, the output signal [Q3, Q4, Q5, Q6] is converted into [H, L, H, H]. The transition of the output signal Q4 from a high potential H to a low potential L causes the transistor P3 to be turned on and the transistor P4 to be turned off. As a result, the charging current I chg increases to (I 0 +I 2 ), and the discharging current I dis decreases to (I 1 +I 3 +I 4 +I 5 +I 6 ). . Thus, in time t 2 to t 3 of FIG. 4 , duty ratio D 2 is equal to [(I 0 +I 2 )/I total ], which is slightly increased relative to D 1 of the previous stage.

随后,当七字节计数器CT接收到初始电压建立信号ES的第24个脉冲时,输出信号[Q3,Q4,Q5,Q6]即转换成[L,L,H,H]。结果,充电电流Ichg增大为(I0+I1+I2),而放电电流Idis减小为(I3+I4+I5+I6)。因此,在图4的时间t4至t5中,工作比D3等于[(I0+I1+I2)/Itotal],相较于先前阶段的D2略微增加。Subsequently, when the seven-byte counter CT receives the 24th pulse of the initial voltage setup signal ES, the output signal [Q3, Q4, Q5, Q6] is converted into [L, L, H, H]. As a result, the charging current I chg increases to (I 0 +I 1 +I 2 ), and the discharging current I dis decreases to (I 3 +I 4 +I 5 +I 6 ). Thus, in time t 4 to t 5 of FIG. 4 , duty ratio D 3 is equal to [(I 0 +I 1 +I 2 )/I total ], slightly increased compared to D 2 of the previous stage.

如此按照前述的操作方式持续进行,充电电流Ichg逐渐增大且放电电流Idis逐渐减小,导致所产生的工作比逐渐增大...<D3<D4<D5<D6<...。最后,在图4的时间t15至t16中,输出信号[Q3,Q4,Q5,Q6]即转变成[L,L,L,L]。结果,充电电流Ichg增大为(I0+I1+I2+I3+I4),而放电电流Idis减小为(I5+I6)。因此,工作比D15等于[(I0+I1+I2+I3+I4)/Itotal]。In this way, the above-mentioned operation mode continues, the charging current I chg gradually increases and the discharging current I dis gradually decreases, resulting in a gradual increase in the generated duty ratio...<D 3 <D 4 <D 5 <D 6 < .... Finally, during time t15 to t16 in FIG. 4, the output signal [Q3, Q4, Q5, Q6] changes to [L, L, L, L]. As a result, the charging current I chg increases to (I 0 +I 1 +I 2 +I 3 +I 4 ), and the discharging current I dis decreases to (I 5 +I 6 ). Therefore, the duty ratio D 15 is equal to [(I 0 +I 1 +I 2 +I 3 +I 4 )/I total ].

在前述实施例中,假设电流源I0作为参考电流,则电流源I1设定为等于电流源I0;电流源I2设定为等于电流源I0的二倍;电流源I3设定为等于电流源I0的四倍;电流源I4设定为等于电流源I0的八倍;电流源I5设定为等于电流源I0的四倍;并且电流源I6设定为等于电流源I0的四倍。在此种假设条件下,在时间ti至t(i+1)中所产生的充电电流Ichg(i)=(1+i)*I0且放电电流Idis(i)=(23-i)*I0,其中i为0至15的整数。因此,周期TES(i)=Cosc*Vp*[(1/Ichg(i))+(1/Idis(i))],并且所形成的工作比为Di=Ichg(i)/(Ichg(i)+Idis(i))=(1+i)/24。In the foregoing embodiments, assuming that the current source I0 is used as the reference current, the current source I1 is set equal to the current source I0 ; the current source I2 is set equal to twice the current source I0 ; the current source I3 is set is set to be equal to four times the current source I0 ; the current source I4 is set to be equal to eight times the current source I0 ; the current source I5 is set to be equal to four times the current source I0 ; and the current source I6 is set to is equal to four times the current source I 0 . Under such assumption conditions, the charging current I chg(i) = (1+i ) *I 0 and the discharging current I dis(i) =(23- i)*I 0 , wherein i is an integer from 0 to 15. Therefore, the period T ES(i) =C osc *V p *[(1/I chg(i) )+(1/I dis(i) )], and the resulting duty ratio is D i =I chg( i) /(I chg(i) +I dis(i) )=(1+i)/24.

因此,初始电压建立信号ES起初提供一个微小的工作比,随后所提供的工作比逐渐增大,使得输出端O的输出电压Vout从零电位逐渐上升至一个预定的初始输出电压。由于初始电压建立信号ES起初提供一个微小的工作比,故有效地防止大量的涌入电流产生。由于输出端O的输出电压Vout已经提高至该预定的初始输出电压,因此从切换控制电路11所输出的切换控制信号CS的工作比不会扩展到最大值。因此,有效地防止涌入电流造成电路损坏。Therefore, the initial voltage setup signal ES initially provides a small duty ratio, and then gradually increases the duty ratio, so that the output voltage V out of the output terminal O gradually rises from zero potential to a predetermined initial output voltage. Since the initial voltage setup signal ES initially provides a small duty ratio, it effectively prevents a large amount of inrush current from being generated. Since the output voltage V out of the output terminal O has increased to the predetermined initial output voltage, the duty ratio of the switching control signal CS output from the switching control circuit 11 will not expand to the maximum value. Therefore, circuit damage caused by inrush current is effectively prevented.
