Abstract
Description
dIL/dt=VL/L …(1)
スイッチングトランジスタM1がオンのとき、インダクタL1の一端には、入力電圧VINが印加され、その他端は、出力端子の地絡により0Vが印加される。したがって、オン時間TMSKごとに、コイル電流ILは、式(2)で与えられる電流量ΔION増大する。
ΔION=TMSK×VIN/L …(2)
ΔIOFF=TOFF×VF/L …(3)
入力電圧VIN=141V、VF=0.6Vとすると、ΔION>ΔIOFFが成り立つため、サイクル毎にコイル電流ILが増大し、やがて回路の信頼性に影響を及ぼすことになる。
スイッチングレギュレータの出力端子が地絡するなどして、出力電圧が低下すると、インダクタに流れるコイル電流が次第に増大し、電流制限用コンパレータにより過電流状態が検出される。電流制限用コンパレータが生成する電流制限信号は、オン期間、オフ期間を問わずに、継続的にアサートされ続ける。そして、この電流制限信号によってセット信号をマスクすることにより、スイッチングトランジスタが第1レベルに遷移しなくなるため、スイッチングトランジスタをオフに保つことができ、コイル電流が上昇し続けるのを防止できる。その結果、回路の信頼性を改善できる。
本発明のさらに別の態様は、ACアダプタである。このACアダプタは、上述のスイッチングレギュレータを備える。
同様に、「部材Cが、部材Aと部材Bの間に設けられた状態」とは、部材Aと部材C、あるいは部材Bと部材Cが直接的に接続される場合のほか、それらの電気的な接続状態に実質的な影響を及ぼさない、あるいはそれらの結合により奏される機能や効果を損なわせない、その他の部材を介して間接的に接続される場合も含む。
電子機器1は、たとえばテレビや冷蔵庫、エアコンなどの家電製品やコンピュータである。電子機器1は、スイッチングレギュレータ2、整流回路4、PFC(力率改善)回路6、負荷8を備える。
スイッチング端子OUTは、スイッチングトランジスタM1の制御端子(ゲート)と接続される。スイッチングトランジスタM1はNチャンネルMOSFETであり、それをオンするためには、ゲートソース間にMOSFETのしきい値電圧を超える駆動電圧を印加する必要がある。そこで制御回路100の接地端子GNDは、検出抵抗RsとインダクタL1の接続点N1と接続される。
制御回路100は、電流制限用コンパレータ10、オシレータ12、マスク信号生成部14、リセット信号生成部20、パルス信号生成部30、ドライバ40を備え、ピーク電流モードでスイッチングトランジスタM1のスイッチングを制御する。
オシレータ12は、所定の周期ごとにアサート(ハイレベル)されるセット信号SSETを生成する。
エラーコンパレータ26は、加算器24によってスロープ信号SSLOPEが重畳された検出電圧Vs’を、フィードバック電圧VFBと比較する。そして、検出電圧Vsがフィードバック電圧VFBより高くなるとアサート(ハイレベル)されるセット信号SSETを生成する。リセット信号生成部20の構成は特に限定されず、別の構成としてもよい。
第1インバータ36は、電流制限信号SLIMを反転する。第1ANDゲート34には、セット信号SSETと第1インバータ36の出力信号が入力される。第1ANDゲート34の出力信号は、SRフリップフロップ32のセット端子(S)に入力される。
セット信号SSETが所定の周期ごとにアサートされるごとに、パルス信号SPWMがハイレベルとなり、スイッチングトランジスタM1がオンする。スイッチングトランジスタM1がオンすると、コイル電流ILが上昇に転ずる。検出電圧Vsがフィードバック電圧VFBに達すると、リセット信号SRSTがアサートされ、パルス信号SPWMがローレベルとなり、スイッチングトランジスタM1がオフする。
出力電圧VOUTが低下すると、コイル電流ILが増大し、それにともなって検出電圧Vsが増大する。時刻t1に検出電圧Vsがしきい値電圧VTHを超えると、電流制限信号SLIMがアサートされる。電流制限信号SLIMがアサートされると、パルス信号SPWMがローレベルとなり、スイッチングトランジスタM1がオフする。
プラグ902、図示しないコンセントから商用交流電圧VACを受ける。スイッチングレギュレータ2の前段には、交流電圧を直流電圧に変換する整流回路が設けられる。スイッチングレギュレータ2は、整流回路からの直流電圧を受ける。スイッチングレギュレータ2は、筐体804内に実装される。スイッチングレギュレータ2により生成された直流出力電圧VOUTは、同じ筐体904内に搭載される、マイコン、DSP(Digital Signal Processor)、電源回路、照明機器、アナログ回路、デジタル回路などの負荷に供給される。
