Oscillogram when Fig. 3 is the normal operation under battery saving mode of switch converters 200 corresponding shown in Figure 2 according to the utility model one embodiment.Waveform in embodiment illustrated in fig. 3 is followed successively by from top to bottom: output voltage VO, inductive current IL, zero passage detection signal Vzc, first drive signal Q1 and second and drive signal Q2.In embodiment illustrated in fig. 3, switch converters is operated in battery saving mode.
T0 constantly, due to the impact of output voltage VO, the first feedback signal VFB is less than reference voltage VREF, first drives signal Q1 becomes effectively, Q1=" 1 ", thereby power switch pipe M1 conducting and keep ON time ton.During power switch pipe M1 conducting, inductive current IL increases gradually, until T1 constantly first drive signal Q1 become under the control of ON time control signal TON invalid, Q1=" 0 ", power switch pipe M1 turn-offs, second drives signal Q2 becomes effectively, Q2=" 1 ", synchronous rectifier M2 conducting, inductive current IL reduces gradually.In one embodiment, the second driving signal Q2 and first drives between signal Q1 certain Dead Time, namely second drive signal Q2 and drive signal Q1 first and become and postpone the regular hour after invalid and become effectively, Dead Time can be for example 200ns, damages switch converters 200 to prevent that power switch pipe M1 and synchronous rectifier M2 are common.
In the T2 moment, inductive current IL is reduced to bias current IL0, and zero passage detection signal Vzc is set, and becomes high level.In one embodiment, bias current IL0 equals zero.In other embodiments, bias current IL0 also can be greater than zero or less than zero.In the T3 moment, zero passage detection signal Vzc keeps high level, and the decline of output voltage VO simultaneously makes the first feedback signal VFB less than reference voltage VREF, thereby the first driving signal Q1 becomes effectively, Q1=" 1 ", power switch pipe M1 conducting.
In the embodiment shown in fig. 3, under battery saving mode, the maximum ILmax of the inductive current of switch converters 200 remains on:
ILmax=IL0+ΔI=IL0+ton*(VIN-VO)/L (3)
ON time ton is by formula 1 decision, in the situation that input voltage VIN and output voltage VO are fixing, the ON time ton of each switch periods remains unchanged substantially.Can find out, due to ON time ton and bias current IL0 all controlled, the maximum ILmax of inductive current is also controlled under battery saving mode.

In the T4 moment, inductive current IL is reduced to bias current IL0, the zero cross detection circuit 133 effective zero passage detection signal Vzc of output, Vzc=" 1 ".At T5 constantly, impact due to factors such as short circuit or overcurrents, output voltage VO descends rapidly, makes the first feedback signal VFB less than reference voltage VREF, and this moment, zero passage detection signal Vzc was still high level, thereby first drive signal Q1 and become effectively, Q1=" 1 ", power switch pipe M1 conducting, zero passage detection signal Vzc is reset to low level, inductive current IL increases rapidly, and the value Δ IL that inductive current increases is:
ΔIL=ton*(VIN-VO)/L (4)
ON time ton is by formula 1 decision, in the situation that input voltage VIN and output voltage VO are fixing, the ON time ton of each switch periods remains unchanged substantially.Thereby limited in conjunction with the value Δ IL that the visible inductive current of formula 4 increases, without the need for extra current foldback circuit also effectively protection switch converter 200 can not damage because of overcurrent.
