Abstract

The controller and the control method are suitable for a power supply. The power supply includes a switch and an inductive element connected in series. The switch is turned on to increase the inductor current of the inductor element. The inductive current flowing through the inductive element is detected to generate a current detection signal. The current detection signal and an adjustment signal are summed to generate a summed signal. The summed signal is compared to a peak limit. The switch is closed when the summed signal approximately exceeds the peak limit. An on-time or duty cycle of the switch is detected, and the adjustment signal is updated accordingly.

Embodiment
Fig. 3 is that Fig. 4 illustrates the controller 80 in Fig. 3 according to a power supply unit 90 of the invention process.In Fig. 3 and Fig. 4, with label identical in Fig. 1,2 of known technology represent identical or with element, device or signal, be known technology, do not add tired stating at this.Fig. 3 and 4 is only an embodiment, implements the present invention and not must use same or analogous element, device or signal in Fig. 1 and 2.Interest field of the present invention should be read as restriction with claim.
Different with Fig. 1, in Fig. 3, between the test side SS of controller 80 and detection resistance CS, be connected with adjusting resistance FCS.Different with Fig. 2, in Fig. 4, controller 80 has current generator 82, and adjustment electric current I is provided cS-OUT, by test side, adjusting resistance FCS and detection resistance CS flow through.The controller 80 of Fig. 4 can be implemented with an integrated circuit, and it is connected with adjusting resistance FCS's, can pass through an IC bond (pin).
By control signal V gATE, opening time (ON time) T of current generator 82 sense switches 72 oNor responsibility cycle (Duty cycle) D, to upgrade adjustment electric current I cS-OUT, wherein responsibility cycle D is opening time T oNdivided by whole switch periods.Adjust electric current I cS-OUTvalue, in the time that switch 72 is opened, large appointment maintains a constant definite value.In current generator 82, can provide a feedback mechanism, a switch periods changes once adjusts electric current I cS-OUT, make opening time T oNor responsibility cycle D and adjustment electric current I cS-OUTroughly be inverse ratio.For instance, as 72 opening time of the switch T in a switch periods oNor responsibility cycle D is while becoming large, just reduces the adjustment electric current I of next switch periods cS-OUT.
Upgrade and adjust electric current I cS-OUTin equivalence, upgrade the first side winding L that flows through pinductive current I plimits value I cS-LIMIT, it is for triggering the inductive current value of OCP.Please also refer to Fig. 3 and Fig. 4.The condition that comparator 78 is triggered is that the voltage of test side approximates greatly peak value limit value V cS-LIMIT, as shown in following formula (1):
V CS-LIMIT=V FCS+V CS....(1)
Wherein, V fCSwith V cSbeing respectively adjusting resistance FCS and the cross-pressure that detects resistance CS, is respectively also an adjustment signal and a current detection signal.The voltage of test side is exactly approximately to adjust signal V fCSand current detection signal V cSvoltage add up.Suppose the resistance value R of adjusting resistance FCS fCSmuch larger than the resistance value R that detects resistance CS cS, formula (1) can approximately arrange and be:
V CS-LIMIT=I CS-OUT*R FCS+I CS-LIMIT*R CS
I CS-LIMIT=(V CS-LIMIT-I CS-OUT*R FCS)/R CS...(2)
Suppose adjustment electric current I cS-OUTwith opening time T oNinverse relation be
I CS-OUT*T ON=K...(3)
Wherein K is constant.Formula (2) can become
I CS-LIMIT=(V CS-LIMIT/R CS)-K*R FCS/(R CS*T ON)...(4)
In formula (4), K*R fCS/ (R cS* T oN) can be considered as the amount of deleting, in order to reduce peak value limit value V cS-LIMITcorresponding primary current limit value (V cS-LIMIT/ R cS), start ahead of time to limit inductive current I p.Curve C in Fig. 5: lIMITexemplified with limits value I in formula (4) cS-LIMITwith opening time T oNrelation.Lines S in Fig. 5 1with S 2also two different input power V have been shown iNunder inductive current I p, wherein lines S 1corresponding input power V iNhigher, so opening time T oNshorter, limits value I cS-LIMITfor smaller I pI.As shown in Figure 5, as long as suitably choose R fCS, likely can allow inductive current I ppeak value, not along with input power V iNchange, be fixed on about primary current limit value V cS-UMIT/ R cS, solve the problem causing signal delay time, in addition, in above derived formula and explanation, all can replace opening time T by responsibility cycle D oN.
Fig. 6 is exemplified with the current generator 82 in Fig. 4.Constant current source 86 provides determines electric current I sETelectric capacity 89 is charged; Constant current source 88 provides determines electric current I eXP, only at control signal V gATEfor " 1 " in logic, when namely switch 72 is opened, electric capacity 89 is discharged.In the time that switch 72 is opened, control voltage V cTL, it has determined electric current I cTLwith determine electric current I eXP, be maintained haply a definite value.84 of current mirrors (cu rrent mi rror) make to adjust electric current I cS-OUTapproximately with electric current I cTLequal proportion.From circuit analysis, Fig. 6 has realized following formula (5).
I SET*T CYCLE=I EXP*T ON...(5)
Wherein, T cYCLEfor the switch periods of switch 72.For instance, after a switch periods, if the left side of formula (5) is greater than right side, control voltage V cTLjust can rise, and then increase electric current I cTLand determine electric current I eXP.Control voltage V cTLto determining electric current I eXPsuch feedback path, can allow the left and right sides of formula (5) be tending towards roughly equal.Formula (5) can be derived adjustment electric current I cS-OUTwith opening time T oNrelation, as shown in following formula (6):
I CS-OUT=K 1*I CTL=K 2*I EXP=K 3*I SET*T CYCLE/T ON...(6)
If D represents with responsibility cycle, formula (6) can be rewritten as:
I CS-OUT=K 3*I SET/D...(7)
Wherein, determine electric current I sETwith T cYCLEwhile being definite value, significantly, adjust electric current I cS-OUTjust with opening time T oNor responsibility cycle D is approximately inversely proportional to.
Adjust electric current I cS-OUTshould be to occur at OCP, namely power supply unit, in the time of heavy duty, just needs to produce.So transduction comparator GM can be used as a control unit, by detecting compensating signal V cOM, determine whether to produce adjustment electric current I cS-OUT.In Fig. 6, as compensating signal V cOMlower than default value V rEFtime, can be considered as underloading or no-load, adjust electric current I cS-OUTwill stop, becoming 0, so limits value I cS-LIMITjust can not be subject to opening time T oNor the variation of responsibility cycle D and affecting.
In the embodiment of Fig. 4, by triggering ahead of time restriction inductive current I p, attempt solving the problem that may cause signal delay time.System manufacturer can, by selecting a suitable external adjusting resistance FCS, determine the effect that it may reach.
Though the present invention is taking the SMPS of a flyback framework as example, the present invention also goes for the similarly SMPS such as step-down power converter, booster power transducer.
The foregoing is only preferred embodiment of the present invention, all equalizations of doing according to the claims in the present invention scope change and modify, and all should belong to covering scope of the present invention.
