201110215457.0, filed with the State Intellectual Property Office of P. R. C. on July 29, 2011, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
TECHNICAL FIELD
Example embodiments of the present disclosure relate generally to an IC, and more particularly, to a control IC of a switch power supply and a switch power supply using the same.
BACKGROUND
Almost all the main power supply of the household appliance or the power supply for the control part of the household appliance need to use a low voltage direct current (DC) power supply, but considering the voltage transmission loss problem, only 220V or 110V alternating current (AC) power supply can be provided. Therefore, a high efficiency and cost-effective AC-DC converter is indispensable. The traditional AC-DC device is achieved by using a linear converter. Butwith the disadvantage of huge volume, heavy weight, low convert efficiency and unobvious cost advantage, the linear converter is being eliminated. And the switch power supply becomes a mainstream in the AC-DC devices. To satisfy the accuracy and the isolation safety requirement, a switch power supply with secondary feedback control is generally used.
FIG. 1 shows a switch power supply circuit with feedback control in the prior art.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The present invention now will be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which preferred embodiments of the invention are shown. This invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art.
Referring to FIG. 2, a control IC of a switch power supply is provided. The control IC is connected to a switch of the switch power supply and comprises: a voltage collecting module 112, configured to collect a feedback voltage of an output voltage of the switch power supply; an error amplifying module 113, configured to compare the feedback voltage and a reference voltage and output an error voltage; a time collecting module 114, configured to obtain a degaussing time signal according to the feedback voltage; and a control module 115, configured to collect a peak current feedback signal of the switch, control a frequency and duty ratio of a control signal according to the error voltage, the degaussing time signal and the peak current feedback signal, and control the switch according to the control signal.
The degaussing time signal Tds is obtained according to the feedback voltage, and the feedback voltage is relative to the output voltage of the switch power supply. When the switch of the switch power supply is switched on, an auxiliary winding of the switch power supply couple a primary side winding of the switch power supply and the obtained feedback voltage is a minus voltage. When the switch is switched off and a diode of the switch power supply is switched on, the output voltage of a secondary side winding of the switch power supply is the output voltage of the switch power supply, and the auxiliary winding couple the secondary side winding and the obtained feedback voltage is a plus voltage. When the switch is switched off and a diode is switched off, the feedback voltage is a oscillation voltage. So when the voltage collecting module collects the feedback voltage, the degaussing time signal is obtained. The value of the degaussing signal is equal to the turn on time of the diode.
The error amplifying module compares the feedback voltage and a reference voltage and output an error voltage, the load situation of the power system may be judged. The frequency and duty ratio of the control signal is controlled according to the load situation of the power system, the degaussing time signal and the peak current feedback signal to make the power system output a constant voltage and current signal, and the work frequency of a control IC may be reduced when in the low load situation. Therefore, the switch loss of the power system is reduced and then the standby power consumption of the power system decreases. Referring to FIG. 2, VDD is the power terminal, GND is the ground, COMP is the compensation terminal, CS is the collecting terminal of the peak current feedback signal, INV is the collecting terminal of the feedback voltage, DRI is the driving terminal to drive the switch.
In some embodiment of the present invention, the control IC further comprises a compensating module 116, configured to compensate the feedback voltage according to the error voltage. Different voltage compensation may be achieved. The heavier is the load, the larger is the voltage compensation, which is to compensate the loss voltage that is loss in the wire.
In some embodiment of the present invention, the control IC further comprises a circuit starting module 111, configured to output an enable signal when the voltage of the circuit starting module reaches a preset start voltage and provide power to the voltage collecting module, error amplifying module, time collecting module and control module; wherein the control module further configured to receive the enable signal and output the control signal. When the control IC powers on, the circuit starting module 111 resets the other module of the control IC. When the voltage of the power supply module reaches the preset start voltage, the circuit starting module outputs the enable signal and the control IC starts to work and output the control signal, and the switch starts to work according to the control signal at the same time.
In some embodiment of the present invention, the control IC further comprises a high voltage to low voltage converting module 117, configured to provide power and a enable signal to the low voltage part of the control IC according to the output voltage of the power supply module and a reference and bias module 118, configured to provide a reference voltage and a bias voltage.
Referring to FIG. 3, the control module 115 comprises: a collecting unit 1151, configured to collect the peak current feedback signal of the switch of the switch power supply; a mode judging unit 1152, configured to modulate the value of a judging current according to the error voltage of the error amplifying module; a mode controlling unit 1153, configured to modulate the value of a controlling current according to the error voltage of the error amplifying module; a reference current providing unit 1154, configured to provide a preset reference current; a pulse width modulating unit 1155, configured to obtain a first comparison voltage VOCP by overlapping the output current of the mode controlling unit and the preset reference current of the reference current providing unit, and output a turn-off pulse OFF for the control signal when the first comparison voltage VOCP is equal to the value of the peak current feedback signal VCS; and a frequency modulating unit 1156, configured to output a turn-on pulse ON for the control signal according to the output current of the mode judging unit, the output current of the mode controlling unit and the degaussing time signal Tds.
When the pulse width modulating unit 1155 operates pulse width modulation, the control IC enters in the PWM mode; when the frequency modulating unit 1156 operates pulse frequency modulation, the control IC enters in the PFM mode; when the pulse width modulating unit 1155 operates pulse width modulation and the frequency modulating unit 1156 operates pulse frequency modulation simultaneously, the control IC enters in the BURST mode.
The output power of the switch power supply is constant, according to the formula P=UI, when the load connected the switch power supply is large, the output current I of the switch power supply increases and the output voltage U of the switch power supply deceases. The feedback voltage collected by the voltage collecting module 112 is far less than the reference voltage, and the error amplifying module 113 outputs a high level, that is the value of the output voltage VEA of the error amplifying module 113 is VDD. The mode judging unit 1152 maintains the judging current and output the judging current to the frequency modulating unit
1156, the mode controlling unit 1153 outputs a maximum current of the controlling current to the pulse width modulating unit 1155 and stops outputting current to the frequency modulating unit 1156 to maintain the peak current feedback signal. Then the peek current Ip of the primary side winding is maintained and Tds/T is maintained. According to the formula
_ . NP Tds _
lout = 0.5 lp
NS T wherein NP is the turns of the primary side winding and NS is the turns of the secondary side winding, when the turns ratio between the primary side winding and the secondary side winding is constant, the output current lout of the switch power supply is maintained. If the degaussing time signal Tds changes, the frequency modulating unit 1156 modulates the work cycle of the control IC, that is, modulates the work frequency fosc, so Tds/T is maintained. So when the output current of the switch power supply is maintained, the control IC enters in the PFM mode.
With the decrease of the load, the value feedback voltage gradually approaches the reference voltage and the error voltage VEA decreases gradually from VDD. When VEA< V 1, the work situation of the pulse width modulating unit 1155 and the frequency modulating unit 1156 is modulated according to the value of the error voltage VEA, and the pulse width modulating unit 1155 operates pulse width modulation and the frequency modulating unit 1156 operates pulse frequency modulation simultaneously, according to negative feedback voltage, the output voltage of the switch power supply is maintained; when the error voltage VEA decreases to V2, the control IC is adjusted to reach a limit, then if the load decreases further, the output voltage of the switch power supply may increase and the error voltage VEA decrease further; when VEA<V4, the mode judging unit 1153 modulates the judging current and the control IC enter in the BURST mode. When the control IC works under the BURST mode, the control IC process frequency division on the basis of the minimum work frequency, if the load increases, the output voltage of the switch power supply decreases, then the error voltage VEA increase; when VEA>V3, the control IC jump out of the BURST mode. There is a delay between V2 and V3. The VI V2 V3 and V4 decrease successively.
FIG. 4 illustrates a schematic diagram of the change trend of the IC work frequency and primary side winding current corresponding to the load according to one exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Referring to the shadow part, the control IC works under the BURST mode. In this part of the diagram, the control IC works under the PWM mode and PFM mode. When the control IC works under the PWM mode and PFM mode, with the load decrease from heavy to light, the control IC works under PFM mode, then works under PWM mode and then works under the PWM mode and PFM mode. The above mentioned work procedure satisfies the requirement of the dynamic characteristic and decreases the work frequency when the load is light, so the work efficiency may be increased. In the BURST mode, the peek current of the primary side winding IP may be maintained the minimum value, the value of the work frequency is changed to a half of the minimum work frequency when the control IC work under the PFM mode, the loss of the switch power supply and the loss of a fake is decreased, so the loss of the switch power supply with no load may be decreased.
Referring to FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, the mode controlling unit 1153 comprises a first current source, connected with the pulse width modulating unit 1155, configured to increase a value of a first output current II when the error voltage increases; and a second current source, connected with the frequency modulating unit 1156, configured to decrease a value of a second output current 12 when the error voltage decreases, stop outputting the second output current when the error voltage is equal to the first preset voltage and maintain the value of the second output current when the error voltage is less than a second preset voltage. When the value of the first reset voltage is VDD, that is when VEA=VDD, 12=0, when the error voltage is less than V4, 12 is maintained.
In FIG. 5, the reference current providing unit is a constant current source and the output voltage of the constant current source is 10. The pulse width modulating unit 1155 comprises a resistor R0, a first capacitor CO and a first comparator Al, one terminal of the resistor R0 is connected to an output terminal of the first current source, an output terminal of the reference current providing unit, an terminal of the capacitor CO and an negative terminal of the comparator Al, the other terminal of the resistor R0 is connected to the other terminal of the first capacitor CO and the ground, an positive terminal of the comparator Al is connected to the collecting unit. The positive terminal of the comparator Al is connected to the collecting unit to collect a peak current feedback signal VCS, the negative terminal of the comparator receives a first comparison voltage VOCP, VOCP=R0x(I0+Il).
When the switch power supply is full load or over load, the output voltage of the switch power supply is small, so the collected feedback voltage is small and the error voltage VEA=VDD. The first current is controlled by the error voltage, accordingly, when the error reaches the maximum value, the first current reaches the maximum value and the error voltage reaches the maximum value, and the primary peak current Ip obtained according to the peak current feedback signal is maintained. The turn-on time of the switch is from receiving the turn-on pulse ON for the control signal to receiving the turn-off pulse OFF for the control signal. When the primary peak current Ip is maintained, the time for the first comparator to output the turn-off pulse OFF is constant, so the turn-on duty ratio of the switch is maintained.
When the load of the switch supply decreases to a preset value, the output voltage of the switch power supply increases, and the error voltage VEA decreases from VDD. The first current II decreases with the decrease of the error voltage VEA, and the turn-on duty ratio decreases with the decrease of the first current II, so the output voltage of the switch power supply decreases and a negative feedback is formed. If the load of the switch power supply become heavy but is not the full load, with the increase of the load, the output voltage of the switch power supply decreases and the error voltage VEA increases. The first current II increases with the increase of the error voltage VEA, and the turn-on duty ratio increases with the increase of the first current II, so the output voltage of the switch power supply increases and the output voltage of the switch power supply is maintained to a constant voltage. FIG. 6 illustrates a schematic diagram method of a PFM/BURST mode according to one exemplary embodiment of the present invention. In some embodiments of the present invention, the mode judging unit 1152 is a third current source. The third current source may reduce the value of a third output current 13 to less than a preset reference current value when the error voltage of the error amplifying module is less than the second preset voltage, and maintain the value of the third output current 13 when the error voltage is equal to or larger than the second preset voltage.
The frequency modulating unit 1156 comprises: a second capacitor CI; a third capacitor C2; a second comparator A2; a first switch Kl, of which a first terminal is connected to the output terminal of the second current source and a second terminal is connected to a terminal of the second capacitor CI and a negative terminal of the second comparator A2, configured to close or open according to the degaussing time signal; and a second switch K2, of which a first terminal is connected to the output terminal of the second current source, a second terminal is connected to a second terminal of the first switch Kl, and a third terminal is connected to a terminal of the third capacitor C2 and a positive terminal of the second comparator A2, configured to connect the first terminal and the second terminal of the second switch or to connect the first terminal and the third terminal of the second switch according to the degaussing time signal.
Referring to FIG. 7, in some embodiment of the present invention, the procedure of the PFM/BURST mode comprises four stages:
The first stage: in the beginning of the first cycle T, the second capacitor CI and the third capacitor C2 are reset.
The second stage: receiving the turn-on pulse ON for the control signal VCOMP, the switch is switched on and the degaussing time signal Tds is low level, the third current source may charge the third capacitor C2 through the third output current 13, the voltage of the third capacitor VC2 increases and the second comparator A2 output the high level.
The third stage: a time Ton is ended, the switch is switched off and the procedure may enter the degaussing stage . The degaussing time signal Tds is high level, the second output current 12 and the third output current 13 charge the second capacitor CI together, so the voltage of the second capacitor VC1 increase and the voltage of the third capacitor VC2 is maintained. When VC1>VC2, the second comparator A2 turns to low level from high level. The fourth stage: the degaussing stage is ended, when VC1>VC2, the second comparator A2 outputs low level and the degaussing time signal Tds is low level, the voltage of the second capacitor VCl is maintained and the third output current 13 charges the third capacitor C2 continuously until VC2>VC1. When VC2>VC1, the second comparator A2 turns to high level from low level and the control signal VCOMP turns to low level from high level and output the turn-on pulse ON, the switch is switched on, and resets the second capacitor CI and the third capacitor C2. The first cycle is ended.
According to the work procedure mentioned above, some formulas described below are obtained:
(/_ ÷ /3)- 7tt
CI
Toff + Ton = C2 - A VC< = C2(n + I2)- TJS
13 13 Cl
Tds Tds 13■ Cl
The formula T Tds + Ton + Toff I3 - C1 + C2(l3 + II) (4) is obtained according to formula (2) and (3).
When the switch power supply is full load or over load, the output voltage of the switch power supply is small, so the collected feedback voltage is small and the error voltage VEA=VDD. When VEA=VDD, 12=0, the change of the second current is opposite to the change of VEA, the third current 13 is maintain, so the charge current for the second capacitor
Tds _ Cl
Cl and the third capacitor C2 is the same, the formula T C1 + C2 (5) is obtained according to formula (4). That is the value of Tds/T is determined by the ratio of the value of the second capacitor Cl and the third capacitor C2. When the value of the second capacitor Cl and the third capacitor C2 is determined, then when the switch power supply outputs the constant current, the value of Tds/T is maintained.
When the load of the switch supply decreases to a preset value, the output voltage of the switch power supply increases, and the error voltage VEA decreases from VDD. The second current 12 increases with the decrease of the error voltage VEA. According to formula (4), the work cycle T increases make the work frequency fosc of the control IC decreases, and the output energy of the switch power supply decreases and the output voltage of the switch power supply decrease; if the load become heavy, the error voltage decreases. The second current 12 decreases with the increase of the error voltage, and the work frequency fosc of the control IC is increased. So the output voltage of the switch power supply increases and the negative feedback loop is formed to output a constant voltage.
When V2<VEA<V1, the control IC enters in the PWM and PFM mode, the second current 12 is changed with the error voltage VEA. The smaller is the error voltage VEA, the larger is the second current 12. According to formula (4), Tds/T decreases with the decrease of the error voltage VEA, if Tds is maintained, the work cycle T increases with the decrease of the error voltage VEA. That is with the decrease of the error voltage VEA, the work frequency fosc of the control IC is decreased, the purpose of the PFM is achieved.
When VEA<V4, the control IC enters in the BURST mode, the second current 12 is maintained, the value of the third current 13 will jump to a small value and be maintained. According to formula (4), the value of Tds/T may increase further, the work frequency fosc of the control IC decreases further until the control IC jump out of the BURST mode. When VEA<V4, it may be known the switch power supply is light load or no load, the work frequency fosc of the control IC is decreased further, so switch consumption of the switch power supply decreases and the purpose of decreasing the standby power consumption is achieved.

The error amplifying module compares the feedback voltage and a reference voltage and output an error voltage, the load situation of the power system may be judged. The frequency and duty ratio of the control signal is controlled according to the load situation of the power system, the degaussing time signal and the peak current feedback signal to make the power system output a constant voltage and current signal, and the work frequency of a control IC may be reduced when in the low load situation. Therefore, the switch loss of the power system is reduced and then the standby power consumption of the power system decreases.

When the voltage of the control IC1 reaches a preset start voltage, the switch power supply starts normally, the primary side winding Np starts to store energy until the primary current reaches a certain value. The switch Ql is switched off when the primary current reaches a certain value. The output voltage by the auxiliary winding Nd is divided by R6 and R7 and the divided voltage is feedback to the control IC1, and the control IC1 sample the voltage of R9 and obtains the peak current feedback signal, so the load situation of the switch power supply may be judged and the work status of the switch may be adjusted.
