Description

Control method and control circuit of multiphase switching circuit and multiphase switching circuit
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of power electronics, in particular to a control method and a control circuit of a multiphase switching circuit and the multiphase switching circuit.
Background
The parallel connection of the multiphase switch circuits can conveniently improve the power supply current level so as to meet the requirement of large current, such as a processor. Meanwhile, each phase of switching circuit is conducted in a staggered mode by controlling the driving signals, so that the inductance of the single-phase switching circuit can be reduced, input and output current ripples can be reduced, and input and output capacitances can be effectively reduced. The reduction of the inductance reduces the inductance size and the capacitance quantity, improves the power density, and simultaneously can improve the dynamic response speed of the voltage regulator. The dynamic response speed to load jumps is important for the processor power supply, as this will directly affect the performance of the processor. The processor has strict requirements on the maximum and minimum voltages at which it operates, and if the voltage exceeds the maximum voltage value allowed by the processor due to too slow a response speed of the voltage regulator at the time of current unloading, this directly affects the reliability of the processor. Conversely, if the voltage is below the minimum voltage allowed by the processor during loading, the blue screen of the computer will be halted. In summary, how to meet the requirement of dynamic load due to the rapid change of load and provide steady voltage is always an important indicator for measuring the performance of the controller. For loading conditions in load changes, if the response speed of the controller is too slow, energy cannot be timely transmitted from the input side to the output side, and then the needed energy can only be provided by the output capacitor, so that a large drop of the output voltage is caused. On the contrary, if the upper tube cannot be turned off in time under the unloading condition, more extra energy is transmitted to the output capacitor by pinching off the transmission path of the energy at the input side, so that the output voltage has large protrusions. In this case, in order to stabilize the output voltage, a large number of output capacitors need to be placed, thereby increasing the cost and volume of the system. Therefore, a controller with fast dynamic response capability can not only reduce output capacitance and save space for the system, but also improve the power density of the system and reduce the cost.

The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments only. The invention is intended to cover any alternatives, modifications, equivalents, and variations that fall within the spirit and scope of the invention.
In the following description of preferred embodiments of the invention, specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the invention, and the invention will be fully understood to those skilled in the art without such details.
The invention is more particularly described by way of example in the following paragraphs with reference to the drawings. It should be noted that the drawings are in a simplified form and are not to scale precisely, but rather are merely intended to facilitate and clearly illustrate the embodiments of the present invention.
The invention provides a control circuit of a multiphase switching circuit, which comprises an N-phase switching circuit, wherein the N-phase switching circuit comprises N inductors, the inductance value of each inductor is L, and the N-phase switching circuit is shown in FIG. 1. The upper tube of each phase switching circuit is a main switching tube, the lower tube is a synchronous rectifying tube, and the lower tube can also use a freewheeling diode. Each phase has an inductance connected to the output. Each phase of inductance in fig. 1 is discrete. The inductances may also be coupled, such as a first phase inductance and a second phase inductance, a third phase inductance and a fourth phase inductance, and so on. The control current receives the feedback voltage, outputs N switching signals to N driving circuits respectively to drive the main switching tube and the synchronous rectifying tube of each phase switching circuit, and if the control current is a freewheeling diode, only the main switching tube needs to be driven.
The control circuit sets an mth upper limit command voltage, an mth lower limit command voltage and an mth reconstruction current, wherein the mth upper limit command voltage is equal to the difference between the compensation voltage and an mth peak value slope and controls the peak value of the mth reconstruction current, when the peak value of the mth reconstruction current reaches the mth upper limit command voltage, the main switching tube of the mth phase switching circuit is turned off, the mth lower limit command voltage is equal to the sum of the compensation voltage and an mth valley value slope and controls the valley value of the inductance current of the mth phase switching circuit, the slope of the mth reconstruction current is the difference between the input voltage and the output voltage of the multiphase switching circuit divided by the inductance value L, N is a natural number which is greater than or equal to 2, and m is any one natural number among 1-N. That is, the turn-off timing of the main switching transistor of the mth phase switching circuit is determined by the mth reconstruction current and the mth upper limit command voltage, and the turn-on timing of the main switching transistor is determined by the mth lower limit command voltage and the inductor current of the mth phase switching circuit.
Before the main switch tube of the m-th phase switch circuit is conducted, the m-th peak slope is reset to a first initial value, when the main switch tube of the m-th phase switch circuit is conducted, the m-th peak slope starts to rise, before the m-th phase clock signal is effective, the m-th valley slope is reset to a second initial value, when the m-th phase clock signal of the m-th phase switch circuit is effective, the m-th valley slope starts to rise, and the m-th clock signal of the m-th phase switch circuit controls the switching period of the m-th phase switch circuit. For convenience, the first initial value is typically set to zero. The second initial value is set to be less than zero. The invention can synchronize the multiphase switch circuit and the clock and has fast dynamic response. In one embodiment, a high level may be effectively associated with a low level and a low level may be disabled, and in another embodiment, a low level may be effectively associated with a high level.
It should be noted that the slope of the mth peak slope and/or the mth valley slope may be linear or nonlinear. Non-linearities include various forms of piecewise linearity, parabolic, exponential, and the like.
Please refer to fig. 2, which is a schematic diagram of a two-phase switching circuit and a coupled inductor, and a freewheeling diode is used.

The first clock signal CLK1 and the second clock signal CLK2 are 180 degrees out of phase. Because of the coupling coefficient of the coupling inductor, in fig. 3, when the first phase main switching tube is turned on, the inductor current of the first phase switching circuit is greater than the inductor current of the second phase switching circuit, and the first reconstruction current is greater than the inductor current of the first phase switching circuit. In fig. 4, since each phase inductance is discrete, the first reconstruction current is equal to the inductance current of the first phase switching circuit when the first phase main switching tube is on, i.e., the mth reconstruction current is equal to the inductance current of the mth phase switching circuit when the main switching tube of the mth phase switching circuit is on.

The mth controllable current I261 stops charging the mth capacitor C261, and the voltage isns_sh on the mth capacitor is equal to the inductor sampling current ISNS.

In one embodiment, the high level may be effectively associated with the low level and the low level may be not effectively associated with the low level, or in another embodiment, the low level may be effectively associated with the high level and the high level may be not effectively associated with the low level.
