Description

Frequency control system and method for switching power supply
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of switching power supply technologies, and in particular, to a frequency control system and method for a switching power supply.
Background
Switching power converters (DC/DC) use a frequency foldback function for better control of inductor current during soft start or under overload conditions. During soft start, or in the event of an overload, the output voltage VOUT of the DC/DC is significantly lower than the normal target value, causing the inductor current discharge slope to be slow. After such a plurality of switching cycles, the inductor current is liable to accumulate to a large value and even to run away. Therefore, the switching frequency Fsw needs to be reduced under these operating conditions, and a common method is a frequency foldback function.
The switching frequency is reduced to 1/8, 1/4 and 1/2 of the normal switching frequency, and the frequency foldback function is explained by taking the switching frequency as an example. When the switching power supply converter is in a normal working state, the target value VOUT0 of output voltage and the switching working frequency Fsw0 are output; in the soft start process, or when overload occurs, the output voltage VOUT is lower than the target value VOUT0, and the switching frequency Fsw is set according to the following conditions:
if VOUT < VOUT0 × 25%, fsw = Fsw0/8;
if VOUT0 × 25% < VOUT0 × 50%, fsw = Fsw0/4;
if VOUT0 x 50% < VOUT0 x 75%, fsw = Fsw0/2;
if VOUT0 x 75% < VOUT, fsw = Fsw0.
A common solution for implementing the frequency foldback function is shown in fig. 1. Generating an FB voltage from the VOUT voltage using a voltage dividing resistor, three comparators comparing the FB voltage with corresponding reference voltages 25, 50, and 75% c The comparator and RESET circuit RESET form an oscillating clock signal CLK, the operating waveform of which is shown in fig. 2.
The above technical solution can be expressed by a mathematical formula as:
Figure BDA0004010591310000021
Figure BDA0004010591310000022
Figure BDA0004010591310000023
Figure BDA0004010591310000024
Figure BDA0004010591310000025
Figure BDA0004010591310000026
in the scheme for realizing the frequency foldback function in the prior art, when the output voltage VOUT exceeds the threshold voltage set by the frequency foldback function, the switching frequency Fsw jumps once obviously, and the difference between the switching frequencies of two adjacent switching periods before and after frequency jump is obvious. The switching power converter adjusts the loop operating point to accommodate abrupt changes in the switching frequency. The adjustment process can cause overshoot and undershoot of the output voltage, so that the output voltage becomes non-monotonous and unsmooth. Fig. 3 illustrates a typical output voltage soft start waveform of a switching power converter with frequency foldback, and it can be seen that there is a significant overshoot of the output voltage at the switching frequency.
The frequency foldback function causes non-monotonic change such as overshoot and undershoot of the output voltage in the soft start process, which may cause malfunction of the subsequent stage load circuit, such as triggering the under-voltage locking function to operate repeatedly. Therefore, overshoot, undershoot and the like of the output voltage need to be avoided as much as possible.
