Description

电源转换器的混合式补偿电路Hybrid Compensation Circuit for Power Converter

技术领域technical field

本发明涉及一种电源转换器,特别是关于一种电源转换器的混合式补偿电路。The invention relates to a power converter, in particular to a hybrid compensation circuit of the power converter.

背景技术Background technique

在电源转换器的回授回路中,需要补偿电路对相位边限(phasemargin)进行补偿以使回路稳定。传统的模拟式补偿电路包括如图1所示的EA型补偿电路10或图2所示的gm型补偿电路14。参照图1,EA型补偿电路10包括误差放大器12,电容C1及电阻R3串联在误差放大器12的反相输入端及输出端之间,电阻R4与电容C1及电阻R3并联,误差放大器12放大回授信号Vfb及参考值Vref之间的差值产生信号Vcomp以供电源转换器稳定输出电压Vo,电阻R3、R4及电容C1用以补偿信号Vcomp。在某些应用中,图1的电阻R4可以省略。参照图2,gm型补偿电路14包括转导放大器16,电阻R3及电容C1串联在转导放大器16的输出端及地端GND之间,电容C2与电阻R3及电容C1并联,转导放大器将回授信号Vfb与参考值Vref之间的差值转换为电流Icomp,电阻R3及电容C1、C2根据电流Icomp产生补偿的信号Vcomp。使用外接式补偿电路需要占用控制IC的一支接脚,为了减少接脚数量,有越来越多的方案将补偿电路整合到IC中,例如美国专利号7,504,888。一般而言,gm型补偿电路14较容易整合在集成电路(IC)中,但是这些方案也有许多限制,一般来说,高切换频率直流对直流电源转换器的控制IC由于极点及零点大于10KHz,因此较容易将补偿电路整合到IC中。而在低频宽应用中,例如功率因子修正(Power Factor Correction;PFC)电源转换器或是其它类似PFC的控制IC或电源转换器,补偿电路14需要大电容C1及C2,但是因为成本及面积的考虑,大电容C1及C2很难全部整合到IC中。更具体而言,PFC电源转换器的输入电压为具有60Hz交流频率的交流电压,因此其控制IC需要低增益及低频的极点及零点来达成低频宽回路以滤除交流频率,因此补偿电路14需要大电容C1及C2来进行补偿,使信号Vcomp的变化较缓慢,才能滤除该交流频率。然而在IC中无法实现符合需求的大电容C1及C2,因此需要使用一支接脚外接大电容C1及C2,若想要缩小电容C1及C2使其可以整合到IC中,则需要将电流Icomp降到纳(nano)安培等级或皮(pico)安培等级,但是如此小的电流很容易受到制程影响而无法准确控制,因此难以实现。In the feedback loop of the power converter, a compensation circuit is required to compensate the phase margin to stabilize the loop. The traditional analog compensation circuit includes the EA type compensation circuit 10 shown in FIG. 1 or the gm type compensation circuit 14 shown in FIG. 2 . Referring to Fig. 1, the EA type compensation circuit 10 includes an error amplifier 12, the capacitor C1 and the resistor R3 are connected in series between the inverting input terminal and the output terminal of the error amplifier 12, the resistor R4 is connected in parallel with the capacitor C1 and the resistor R3, and the error amplifier 12 amplifies back The difference between the grant signal Vfb and the reference value Vref generates a signal Vcomp for stabilizing the output voltage Vo of the power converter, and the resistors R3, R4 and capacitor C1 are used to compensate the signal Vcomp. In some applications, resistor R4 in Figure 1 can be omitted. Referring to Fig. 2, the gm type compensation circuit 14 includes a transconductance amplifier 16, the resistor R3 and the capacitor C1 are connected in series between the output terminal of the transconductance amplifier 16 and the ground terminal GND, the capacitor C2 is connected in parallel with the resistor R3 and the capacitor C1, and the transconductance amplifier will The difference between the feedback signal Vfb and the reference value Vref is converted into a current Icomp, and the resistor R3 and the capacitors C1 and C2 generate a compensated signal Vcomp according to the current Icomp. Using an external compensation circuit needs to occupy a pin of the control IC. In order to reduce the number of pins, there are more and more solutions to integrate the compensation circuit into the IC, such as US Patent No. 7,504,888. Generally speaking, the gm-type compensation circuit 14 is easier to integrate into an integrated circuit (IC), but these solutions also have many limitations. Generally speaking, the control IC of a high switching frequency DC-to-DC power converter has poles and zeros greater than 10KHz. It is therefore easier to integrate the compensation circuit into the IC. In low-bandwidth applications, such as power factor correction (Power Factor Correction; PFC) power converters or other control ICs or power converters similar to PFC, the compensation circuit 14 requires large capacitors C1 and C2, but due to cost and area constraints Considering that it is difficult to fully integrate the large capacitors C1 and C2 into the IC. More specifically, the input voltage of the PFC power converter is an AC voltage with an AC frequency of 60 Hz, so its control IC requires low gain and low-frequency poles and zeros to achieve a low-bandwidth loop to filter out the AC frequency, so the compensation circuit 14 needs Large capacitors C1 and C2 are used to compensate, so that the signal Vcomp changes slowly, so that the AC frequency can be filtered out. However, the large capacitors C1 and C2 that meet the requirements cannot be realized in the IC, so it is necessary to use a pin to externally connect the large capacitors C1 and C2. If you want to reduce the capacitors C1 and C2 so that they can be integrated into the IC, you need to reduce the current Icomp Down to the nano-ampere level or pico-ampere level, but such a small current is easily affected by the process and cannot be accurately controlled, so it is difficult to achieve.

由于模拟式补偿电路不易整合,因此有不少数字式补偿电路被提出,例如美国专利号7,743,266及7,894,218,这些数字式补偿电路虽然可以整合在PFC电源转换器的控制IC中,但是通常需要复杂的数字信号处理(数字信号Processing;DSP)算法,因而需要占用较大的芯片面积,导致成本上升及芯片尺寸增加。另一方面,变化缓慢的信号Vcomp会造成电源转换器无法快速反应负载瞬时,导致输出电压Vo发生大的电压落差(drop)或过冲(overshoot)。Since the analog compensation circuit is not easy to integrate, many digital compensation circuits have been proposed, such as US Patent Nos. 7,743,266 and 7,894,218. Although these digital compensation circuits can be integrated in the control IC of the PFC power converter, they usually require complex The digital signal processing (Digital Signal Processing; DSP) algorithm therefore needs to occupy a large chip area, resulting in an increase in cost and chip size. On the other hand, the slow-changing signal Vcomp will cause the power converter to fail to quickly respond to the transient load, resulting in a large voltage drop or overshoot of the output voltage Vo.

参照图3,根据本发明的混合式补偿电路20可以应用在各种类型的电源转换器,例如直流对直流电源转换器及PFC电源转换器。在混合式补偿电路20中,数字信号产生器22根据与电源转换器的输出电压相关的回授信号Vfb1及参考值Vref1产生数字信号Sd,数字模拟转换器(Digital-to-Analog Converter;DAC)24将数字信号Sd转换为模拟的第一信号Va1,偏移注入器(offset injector)26提供可变偏移值偏移第一信号Va1产生第二信号Va2,低通滤波器(Low Pass Filter;LPF)28滤除第二信号Va2的高频成分产生第三信号Vcomp供稳定电源转换器的输出电压。混合式补偿电路20模拟如图2所示的gm型补偿电路14。众所周知,gm型补偿电路14提供二极点及一零点,混合式补偿电路20同样可以提供二极点及一零点,详言之,数字信号产生器22及DAC24可视为第一极点产生器/补偿器,用以提供第一极点,偏移注入器26可视为零点产生器/补偿器,用以提供零点,LPF28可视为第二极点产生器/补偿器,用以提供第二极点。Referring to FIG. 3 , the hybrid compensation circuit 20 according to the present invention can be applied to various types of power converters, such as DC-DC power converters and PFC power converters. In the hybrid compensation circuit 20, the digital signal generator 22 generates the digital signal Sd according to the feedback signal Vfb1 and the reference value Vref1 related to the output voltage of the power converter, and the digital-to-analog converter (Digital-to-Analog Converter; DAC) 24 converts the digital signal Sd into an analog first signal Va1, an offset injector (offset injector) 26 provides a variable offset value to offset the first signal Va1 to generate a second signal Va2, and a low pass filter (Low Pass Filter; The LPF 28 filters the high-frequency components of the second signal Va2 to generate a third signal Vcomp for stabilizing the output voltage of the power converter. The hybrid compensation circuit 20 simulates the gm compensation circuit 14 shown in FIG. 2 . As we all know, the gm type compensation circuit 14 provides two poles and one zero, and the hybrid compensation circuit 20 can also provide two poles and one zero. In detail, the digital signal generator 22 and DAC24 can be regarded as the first pole generator/ The compensator is used to provide the first pole, the offset injector 26 can be regarded as a zero generator/compensator to provide a zero point, and the LPF 28 can be regarded as a second pole generator/compensator to provide a second pole.

需说明的是:根据本发明,并不绝对必须产生/补偿两个极点和一个零点、亦即所产生/补偿的极点和零点数目可以改变。例如,在某些应用中,可以仅产生/补偿一个极点、或一个极点和一个零点、或两个极点。图3B-3D举例显示配合这些应用的混合式补偿电路20a-20c。此外,在产生/补偿两个极点和一个零点的实施例中,LPF28也不必须设置在偏移注入器26的后方且与数字信号产生器22和DAC24串联,而可为其它连接形式。举例而言,图3E显示LPF28设置在偏移注入器26前方的实施例;图3F实施例中,偏移注入器26和LPF28设置在另一条路径上,以提供一个零点和第二极点的补偿,而加法器29将DAC24的输出与该另一路径所产生的补偿信号相加;图3G显示了与图3F相似的实施例,但省略了LPF28。除上述安排之外,LPF28还可设置在其它位置,例如但不限于在图3H的实施例中,将LPF28设置在加法器29的后方。It should be noted that according to the present invention, it is not absolutely necessary to generate/compensate two poles and one zero, that is, the number of generated/compensated poles and zeros can be changed. For example, in some applications it is possible to generate/compensate only one pole, or one pole and one zero, or two poles. 3B-3D illustrate examples of hybrid compensation circuits 20a-20c suitable for these applications. In addition, in the embodiment of generating/compensating two poles and one zero, the LPF 28 does not have to be arranged behind the offset injector 26 and connected in series with the digital signal generator 22 and the DAC 24 , but can be connected in other forms. For example, FIG. 3E shows an embodiment in which the LPF 28 is arranged in front of the offset injector 26; in the embodiment of FIG. 3F, the offset injector 26 and the LPF 28 are arranged on another path to provide a compensation of a zero point and a second pole , and the adder 29 adds the output of the DAC24 to the compensation signal generated by the other path; FIG. 3G shows an embodiment similar to that of FIG. 3F, but the LPF28 is omitted. In addition to the above arrangement, the LPF 28 can also be arranged in other positions, for example but not limited to the embodiment in FIG. 3H , the LPF 28 is arranged behind the adder 29 .

图4为混合式补偿电路20的一个具体实施例。为了实现低频的第一极点,使用数字信号产生器22及DAC24模拟gm型补偿电路14的转导放大器16。图4的数字信号产生器22包括比较器30比较回授信号Vfb1及参考值Vref1产生比较信号Sc1,反相器32将比较信号Sc1反相产生信号Sc2给控制器42,振荡器40提供频率信号Clk给控制器42及升降计数器44,控制器42因应频率信号Clk对信号Sc2取样,当取样结果表示回授信号Vfb1大于参考值Vref1时,控制器42发出控制信号Down给升降计数器44以调降数字信号Sd一个位,进而调降电源转换器的输出功率。当取样结果表示回授信号Vfb1低于参考值Vref1时,控制器42发出控制信号Up给升降计数器44以调升数字信号Sd一个位,进而调升电源转换器的输出功率。升降计数器44根据频率信号Clk取样控制器42所输出的控制信号Up及Down以调整数字信号Sd。DAC24将数字信号Sd转换为第一信号Va1。DAC24为相当常见的电路,其内部电路及操作于此不再赘述。在频率信号Clk为低频时,取样的频率较低,数字信号Sd的变化较缓慢,导致混合式补偿电路20输出的第三信号Vcomp变化缓慢,此效果如同gm型补偿电路14使用大电容C1及C2一样。FIG. 4 is a specific embodiment of the hybrid compensation circuit 20 . To achieve the first pole at low frequencies, the transconductance amplifier 16 of the gm-type compensation circuit 14 is simulated using a digital signal generator 22 and a DAC 24 . The digital signal generator 22 in FIG. 4 includes a comparator 30 that compares the feedback signal Vfb1 and the reference value Vref1 to generate a comparison signal Sc1. The inverter 32 inverts the comparison signal Sc1 to generate a signal Sc2 to the controller 42. The oscillator 40 provides a frequency signal. Clk is sent to the controller 42 and the up-down counter 44. The controller 42 samples the signal Sc2 in response to the frequency signal Clk. When the sampling result indicates that the feedback signal Vfb1 is greater than the reference value Vref1, the controller 42 sends a control signal Down to the up-down counter 44 to lower One bit of the digital signal Sd is used to lower the output power of the power converter. When the sampling result indicates that the feedback signal Vfb1 is lower than the reference value Vref1, the controller 42 sends a control signal Up to the up-down counter 44 to up-up the digital signal Sd by one bit, and then up-up the output power of the power converter. The up-down counter 44 samples the control signals Up and Down output by the controller 42 according to the frequency signal Clk to adjust the digital signal Sd. DAC24 converts digital signal Sd into first signal Va1. DAC24 is a fairly common circuit, and its internal circuit and operation will not be repeated here. When the frequency signal Clk is low frequency, the sampling frequency is low, and the change of the digital signal Sd is relatively slow, resulting in the slow change of the third signal Vcomp output by the hybrid compensation circuit 20. This effect is similar to the gm type compensation circuit 14 using a large capacitor C1 and Same as C2.

在电源转换器发生负载瞬时时,若混合式补偿电路20输出的第三信号Vcomp仍缓慢变化,将无法快速反应,造成输出电压Vo发生大的电压落差或过冲。为了改善此问题,图4的数字信号产生器22还包括磁滞比较器34比较回授信号Vfb1及临界值VH1产生比较信号SH给控制器42,磁滞比较器36比较回授信号Vfb1及临界值VL1产生比较信号SL给控制器42,以及运算转导放大器38放大回授信号Vfb1及参考值Vref1之间的差值ΔV产生频率调整信号Sfm给振荡器40以调整频率信号Clk的频率。当回授信号Vfb1及参考值Vref1之间的差值ΔV增加时,频率调整信号Sfm将调高频率信号Clk的频率以加快取样频率,进而加快数字信号Sd的变化以及加快第三信号Vcomp的扭转率(slew rate),当回授信号Vfb1大于临界值VH1或小于临界值VL1时,磁滞比较器34或36送出比较信号SL或SH给振荡器40,以使频率信号Clk的频率上升至最大值,进而使数字信号Sd以最大频率调升或调降。此外,在回授信号Vfb1大于临界值VH1时,控制器42亦根据比较信号SL发出控制信号Down_limit给升降计数器44,使该升降计数器44以最大频率将数字信号Sd调降到最小值以提高第三信号Vcomp的扭转率,使电源转换器的输出功率快速减少,使输出电压快速地下降至预设准位。同样的,在回授信号Vfb1小于临界值VL1时,控制器42根据比较信号SH发出控制信号Up_limit给升降计数器44,使该升降计数器44以最大频率将数字信号Sd调升到最大值,因而提高第三信号Vcomp的扭转率,使电源转换器的输出功率上升,使输出电压快速上升到预设准位。在其它实施例中,当回授信号VFB1大于或小于临界值VH1或VL1时,使升降计数器44也可以立即将数字信号Sd调升到最小值或最大值。在发生负载瞬时时,回授信号Vfb1及参考值Vref1之间的差值ΔV增加,故控制器42及升降计数器44的取样频率加快,因此加快第三信号Vcomp的扭转率(slew rate),而且在回授信号Vfb1大于临界值VH1或小于临界值VL1时可以使数字信号Sd立即或以最快频率下降到最小值或上升到最大值,故能有效改善电源转换器的负载瞬时响应。When the power converter loads instantaneously, if the third signal Vcomp output by the hybrid compensation circuit 20 still changes slowly, it will not be able to respond quickly, resulting in a large voltage drop or overshoot of the output voltage Vo. In order to improve this problem, the digital signal generator 22 in FIG. 4 also includes a hysteresis comparator 34 to compare the feedback signal Vfb1 and the threshold value VH1 to generate a comparison signal SH to the controller 42. The hysteresis comparator 36 compares the feedback signal Vfb1 and the threshold value The value VL1 generates a comparison signal SL to the controller 42, and the operational transconductance amplifier 38 amplifies the difference ΔV between the feedback signal Vfb1 and the reference value Vref1 to generate a frequency adjustment signal Sfm to the oscillator 40 to adjust the frequency of the frequency signal Clk. When the difference ΔV between the feedback signal Vfb1 and the reference value Vref1 increases, the frequency adjustment signal Sfm will increase the frequency of the frequency signal Clk to speed up the sampling frequency, thereby speeding up the change of the digital signal Sd and the twisting of the third signal Vcomp rate (slew rate), when the feedback signal Vfb1 is greater than the critical value VH1 or less than the critical value VL1, the hysteresis comparator 34 or 36 sends a comparison signal SL or SH to the oscillator 40, so that the frequency of the frequency signal Clk rises to the maximum value, and then the digital signal Sd is adjusted up or down with the maximum frequency. In addition, when the feedback signal Vfb1 is greater than the critical value VH1, the controller 42 also sends a control signal Down_limit to the up-down counter 44 according to the comparison signal SL, so that the up-down counter 44 lowers the digital signal Sd to the minimum value at the maximum frequency to increase the second limit. The torsional rate of the three-signal Vcomp reduces the output power of the power converter rapidly, and the output voltage drops rapidly to a preset level. Similarly, when the feedback signal Vfb1 is less than the critical value VL1, the controller 42 sends a control signal Up_limit to the up-down counter 44 according to the comparison signal SH, so that the up-down counter 44 raises the digital signal Sd to the maximum value at the maximum frequency, thereby increasing The torsion rate of the third signal Vcomp increases the output power of the power converter, so that the output voltage rapidly rises to a preset level. In other embodiments, when the feedback signal VFB1 is greater than or less than the critical value VH1 or VL1 , the up-down counter 44 can immediately increase the digital signal Sd to the minimum value or the maximum value. When the load moment occurs, the difference ΔV between the feedback signal Vfb1 and the reference value Vref1 increases, so the sampling frequency of the controller 42 and the up-down counter 44 is accelerated, so the slew rate (slew rate) of the third signal Vcomp is accelerated, and When the feedback signal Vfb1 is larger than the critical value VH1 or smaller than the critical value VL1, the digital signal Sd can drop to the minimum value or rise to the maximum value immediately or at the fastest frequency, thereby effectively improving the load transient response of the power converter.

图2的转导放大器16的电流-电压特性曲线如图5所示,从图2可得The current-voltage characteristic curve of the transconductance amplifier 16 of Fig. 2 is as shown in Fig. 5, can obtain from Fig. 2

Ce×Vcomp=Icomp×T,   公式1Ce×Vcomp=Icomp×T, Formula 1

其中Ce为电容C1及C2的等效电容,T为产生电流Icomp的时间。从公式1可进一步推得Where Ce is the equivalent capacitance of the capacitors C1 and C2, and T is the time for generating the current Icomp. It can be further deduced from formula 1 that

Icomp/Ce=Vcomp/T,   公式2Icomp/Ce=Vcomp/T, Formula 2

由公式2可知电流Icomp及电容Ce决定一电压变化率dVcomp/dt,又电容Ce为定值,故电流Icomp正比于电压变化率dVcomp/dt,因此图5的Y轴也可以视为电压变化率dVcomp/dt。图3A的数字信号产生器22及DAC24模拟转导放大器16也可以得到类似的电压变化率,例如图6为图4的DAC24的第一信号Va1的电压变化率dVa1/dt(即扭转率)对数字信号产生器22的输入电压Vfb1的特性曲线,在临界值VL1和VH1之间和图5的曲线是一样的,在两端则有迟滞区域,当回授信号Vfb1上升到大于临界值VH1时,数字信号Sd以最快取样频率被调降,故第一信号Va1具有最快负向电压变化率-dVa1/dt_max,直到回授信号Vfb1下降到小于磁滞临界值Vhy1,第一信号Va1的电压变化率dVa1/dt才回到原来的水平;同样的,当回授信号Vfb1下降到小于临界值VL1时,数字信号Sd以最快频率信号Clk的频率被调升,故第一信号Va1具有最快正向电压变化率dVa1/dt_max,直到回授信号Vfb1上升到大于磁滞临界值Vhy2,第一信号Va1的电压变化率dVa1/dt才回到原来的水平。From Formula 2, it can be seen that the current Icomp and the capacitance Ce determine a voltage change rate dVcomp/dt, and the capacitance Ce is a constant value, so the current Icomp is proportional to the voltage change rate dVcomp/dt, so the Y-axis in Figure 5 can also be regarded as the voltage change rate dVcomp/dt. The digital signal generator 22 of Fig. 3 A and DAC24 analog transconductance amplifier 16 also can obtain similar voltage change rate, for example Fig. 6 is the voltage change rate dVa1/dt (that is torsion rate) of the first signal Va1 of DAC24 of Fig. 4 vs. The characteristic curve of the input voltage Vfb1 of the digital signal generator 22 is the same as the curve in FIG. 5 between the critical values VL1 and VH1, and there is a hysteresis region at both ends. When the feedback signal Vfb1 rises above the critical value VH1 , the digital signal Sd is lowered at the fastest sampling frequency, so the first signal Va1 has the fastest negative voltage change rate -dVa1/dt_max, until the feedback signal Vfb1 drops below the hysteresis critical value Vhy1, the first signal Va1 The voltage change rate dVa1/dt returns to the original level; similarly, when the feedback signal Vfb1 drops below the critical value VL1, the digital signal Sd is raised at the frequency of the fastest frequency signal Clk, so the first signal Va1 has The fastest forward voltage change rate dVa1/dt_max, until the feedback signal Vfb1 rises above the hysteresis critical value Vhy2, the voltage change rate dVa1/dt of the first signal Va1 returns to the original level.

在图4的实施例中,偏移注入器26包括电流源46及开关M1串联在电源端Vcc及电阻Rof的第一端54之间,电流源48及开关M2串联在电阻Rof的第一端54及地端GND之间,电流源50及开关M3串联在电源端Vcc及电阻Rof的第二端56之间,电流源52及开关M4串联在电阻Rof的第二端56及地端GND之间。开关M1及M4受控于来自控制器42的控制信号Down,开关M2及M3受控于来自控制器42的控制信号Up,借助控制开关M1、M2、M3及M4,可以决定电阻Rof上电流Iof的方向。电流源46、48、50及52根据来自运算转导放大器38的频率调整信号Sfm决定电流Iof的大小,进而决定可变偏移值Vof以偏移第一信号Va1产生第二信号Va2。由于频率调整信号Sfm与回授信号Vfb1及参考值Vref1之间的差值ΔV有关,因此可变偏移值Vof亦随差值ΔV变化。在其它实施例中,电流源46、48、50及52亦可改为根据其它与差值ΔV相关的信号来决定电流Iof。图4的低通滤波器28包括由电阻Rf及电容Cf组成的RC滤波器,对第二信号Va2滤波产生第三信号Vcomp。从控制回路的物理意义来看,gm补偿电路14的零点作为相位领先(phase lead)补偿,而第二极点则类似低通滤波器,因此本发明的混合式补偿电路20利用偏移注入器26提供瞬间的电压变化来模拟零点的作用,并以RC滤波器实现第二极点。In the embodiment of FIG. 4 , the offset injector 26 includes a current source 46 and a switch M1 connected in series between the power supply terminal Vcc and the first end 54 of the resistor Rof, and the current source 48 and the switch M2 are connected in series with the first end of the resistor Rof Between 54 and the ground terminal GND, the current source 50 and the switch M3 are connected in series between the power supply terminal Vcc and the second terminal 56 of the resistor Rof, and the current source 52 and the switch M4 are connected in series between the second terminal 56 of the resistor Rof and the ground terminal GND. between. The switches M1 and M4 are controlled by the control signal Down from the controller 42, the switches M2 and M3 are controlled by the control signal Up from the controller 42, and the current Iof on the resistor Rof can be determined by controlling the switches M1, M2, M3 and M4 direction. The current sources 46 , 48 , 50 and 52 determine the magnitude of the current Iof according to the frequency adjustment signal Sfm from the operational transconductance amplifier 38 , and then determine the variable offset value Vof to offset the first signal Va1 to generate the second signal Va2 . Since the frequency adjustment signal Sfm is related to the difference ΔV between the feedback signal Vfb1 and the reference value Vref1 , the variable offset Vof also varies with the difference ΔV. In other embodiments, the current sources 46 , 48 , 50 and 52 can also be changed to determine the current Iof according to other signals related to the difference ΔV. The low-pass filter 28 in FIG. 4 includes an RC filter composed of a resistor Rf and a capacitor Cf, and filters the second signal Va2 to generate a third signal Vcomp. From the point of view of the physical meaning of the control loop, the zero point of the gm compensation circuit 14 is used as a phase lead (phase lead) compensation, while the second pole is similar to a low-pass filter, so the hybrid compensation circuit 20 of the present invention utilizes an offset injector 26 An instantaneous voltage change is provided to simulate the effect of the zero point, and an RC filter is used to realize the second pole.

图7为图3A的混合式补偿电路20的另一具体实施例,数字信号产生器22包括多任务器60根据脉冲信号Sp1~Sp5依序将临界值VH1、临界值VH2、参考值Vref1、临界值VL2及临界值VL1提供给比较器62的非反相输入端,其中VH1>VH2>Vref1>VL2>VL1,比较器62的反相输入端接收回授信号Vfb1,比较器62将回授信号Vfb1分别比较临界值VH1、VH2、VL1及VL2及参考值Vref1,并将比较信号传送给控制器42,控制器42根据频率信号Clk及脉冲信号Sp1~Sp5对比较器62所输出的比较信号取样,据以决定控制信号Up或Down给升降计数器44以调升或调降数字信号Sd,控制器42亦根据比较结果判断回授信号Vfb1是否大于最大的临界值VH1或小于最小的临界值VL1,若回授信号Vfb1大于临界值VH1,控制器42发出控制信号Down_limit使升降计数器44立即或以最大频率将数字信号Sd调降至最小值以加大第三信号Vcomp的扭转率,若回授信号Vfb1小于临界值VL1,控制器42发出控制信号Up_limit使升降计数器44立即或以最大频率将数字信号Sd调升至最大值以加大第三信号Vcomp的扭转率。控制器42也根据比较结果决定频率调整信号Sfm给振荡器40以调整频率信号Clk的频率,当回授信号Vfb1与参考值Vref1之间的差值越大时,频率信号Clk的频率越高,以加大第三信号Vcomp的扭转率,改善负载瞬时响应。当回授信号Vfb1大于临界值VH1或小于临界值VL1时,频率调整信号Sfm将使频率信号Clk的频率调升至最大值,以加快控制器42及升降计数器44的取样频率。脉冲产生器64根据频率信号Clk产生脉冲信号Sp1~Sp5如图8所示,在频率信号Clk的每一个周期T内,脉冲产生器64依序产生脉冲信号Sp1~Sp5给多任务器60。FIG. 7 is another specific embodiment of the hybrid compensation circuit 20 in FIG. 3A. The digital signal generator 22 includes a multiplexer 60 to sequentially convert the threshold value VH1, threshold value VH2, reference value Vref1, threshold The value VL2 and the critical value VL1 are provided to the non-inverting input terminal of the comparator 62, wherein VH1>VH2>Vref1>VL2>VL1, the inverting input terminal of the comparator 62 receives the feedback signal Vfb1, and the comparator 62 will feedback the signal Vfb1 respectively compares the critical values VH1, VH2, VL1 and VL2 with the reference value Vref1, and sends the comparison signal to the controller 42, and the controller 42 samples the comparison signal output by the comparator 62 according to the frequency signal Clk and pulse signals Sp1-Sp5 , so as to determine whether the control signal Up or Down is given to the up-down counter 44 to raise or lower the digital signal Sd, and the controller 42 also judges whether the feedback signal Vfb1 is greater than the maximum critical value VH1 or smaller than the minimum critical value VL1 according to the comparison result, If the feedback signal Vfb1 is greater than the critical value VH1, the controller 42 sends the control signal Down_limit to make the up-down counter 44 reduce the digital signal Sd to the minimum value immediately or at the maximum frequency to increase the torsion rate of the third signal Vcomp. If the feedback signal When Vfb1 is smaller than the threshold value VL1, the controller 42 sends a control signal Up_limit to make the up-down counter 44 raise the digital signal Sd to a maximum value immediately or at a maximum frequency to increase the torsion rate of the third signal Vcomp. The controller 42 also determines the frequency adjustment signal Sfm to the oscillator 40 to adjust the frequency of the frequency signal Clk according to the comparison result. When the difference between the feedback signal Vfb1 and the reference value Vref1 is larger, the frequency of the frequency signal Clk is higher. By increasing the torsion rate of the third signal Vcomp, the load transient response is improved. When the feedback signal Vfb1 is larger than the critical value VH1 or smaller than the critical value VL1 , the frequency adjustment signal Sfm will increase the frequency of the frequency signal Clk to a maximum value to speed up the sampling frequency of the controller 42 and the up-down counter 44 . The pulse generator 64 generates pulse signals Sp1-Sp5 according to the frequency signal Clk, as shown in FIG.

图7的偏移注入器26是将图4的电阻Rof改为由开关控制的可变电阻,其阻值随回授信号Vfb1及参考值Vref1之间的差值ΔV改变,电流源46、48、50及52提供固定电流,故通过可变电阻Rof的电流Iof为定值。在此实施中,可变电阻Rof包括三个串联的电阻Ra、Rb及Rc,每一个电阻Ra、Rb及Rc各与开关Ma、Mb及Mc并联,根据差值ΔV产生的信号Sa、Sb及Sc分别控制开关Ma、Mb及Mc以调整可变电阻Rof的阻值,进而产生随差值ΔV变化的可变偏移值Vof以偏移第一信号Va1产生第二信号Va2。The offset injector 26 in FIG. 7 changes the resistor Rof in FIG. 4 into a variable resistor controlled by a switch, and its resistance value changes with the difference ΔV between the feedback signal Vfb1 and the reference value Vref1, and the current sources 46 and 48 , 50 and 52 provide fixed current, so the current Iof passing through the variable resistor Rof is a constant value. In this implementation, the variable resistor Rof includes three series connected resistors Ra, Rb and Rc, each resistor Ra, Rb and Rc are connected in parallel with the switches Ma, Mb and Mc, and the signals Sa, Sb and Sc controls the switches Ma, Mb and Mc respectively to adjust the resistance of the variable resistor Rof, and then generates a variable offset value Vof varying with the difference ΔV to offset the first signal Va1 to generate the second signal Va2.

图9为图7的DAC24的第一信号Val的电压变化率dVa1/dt对数字信号产生器22的输入电压Vfb1的特性曲线,当回授信号Vfb1上升到大于临界值VH1时,数字信号Sd以最快频率被调降,故第一信号Va1具有最快负向电压变化率-dVa1/dt_max,直到回授信号Vfb1下降到小于临界值VH2,第一信号Va1的电压变化率才回到原来的水平;同样的,当回授信号Vfb1下降到小于临界值VL1时,数字信号Sd以最快频率被调升,故第一信号Va1具有最快正向电压变化率dVa1/dt_max,直到回授信号Vfb1上升到大于磁滞临界值VL2,第一信号Va1的变化速度才回到原来的水平。在图7的实施例中,随着设定的临界值个数的增加,图9的特性曲线将趋近于图6的特性曲线。FIG. 9 is a characteristic curve of the voltage change rate dVa1/dt of the first signal Val of the DAC24 of FIG. 7 versus the input voltage Vfb1 of the digital signal generator 22. When the feedback signal Vfb1 rises above the critical value VH1, the digital signal Sd is The fastest frequency is lowered, so the first signal Va1 has the fastest negative voltage change rate -dVa1/dt_max, until the feedback signal Vfb1 drops below the critical value VH2, the voltage change rate of the first signal Va1 returns to the original Similarly, when the feedback signal Vfb1 drops below the critical value VL1, the digital signal Sd is raised at the fastest frequency, so the first signal Va1 has the fastest forward voltage change rate dVa1/dt_max, until the feedback signal When Vfb1 rises to be greater than the hysteresis critical value VL2, the change speed of the first signal Va1 returns to the original level. In the embodiment of FIG. 7 , as the number of set critical values increases, the characteristic curve in FIG. 9 will approach the characteristic curve in FIG. 6 .

The digital signal generator 22 includes a comparator 70 for comparing the feedback signal Vfb1 and the threshold value VH1 to generate a comparison signal SB1.

When the grant signal Vfb1 is greater than the maximum critical value VH1 or less than the minimum critical value VL1, the controller 80 selects the frequency signal Clk1 with the highest frequency to the up-down counter 44, and the up-down counter 44 samples the comparison signal SB3 in response to the frequency signal Clk, and according to the sampling result To increase or decrease the digital signal Sd by one bit, when the feedback signal Vfb1 is greater than the maximum critical value VH1 or less than the minimum critical value VL1, the up-down counter 44 adjusts the digital signal Sd immediately or at the maximum frequency in response to the comparison signal SB1 or SB5.

需说明的是:虽然图4,7,10是根据图3A的混合式补偿电路20而举例示出数个具体实施例,但显然图3B-3H所示的混合式补偿电路20a-20g也可以使用图4,7,10中的电路元件来构成,故图3B-3H的电路也当然可以具体实施,其细节不再赘述。It should be noted that although Figures 4, 7, and 10 illustrate several specific embodiments according to the hybrid compensation circuit 20 in Figure 3A, obviously the hybrid compensation circuits 20a-20g shown in Figures 3B-3H can also be The circuits shown in Figs. 4, 7, and 10 are used to form components, so the circuits shown in Figs. 3B-3H can also be implemented in practice, and the details will not be repeated here.

图11显示本发明的功效,使用图2的gm型模拟式补偿电路14产生的电源转换器的输出电压Vo和信号Vcomp分别如波形92及96所示,使用本发明的混合式补偿电路20产生的电源转换器的输出电压Vo和第三信号Vcomp分别如波形94及98所示,其几乎与使用gm型模拟式补偿电路14的效果相同,而且在时间t1所示的负载瞬时发生时,也有良好的瞬时响应,故混合式补偿电路20确实可以取代传统的模拟式补偿电路14。混合式补偿电路20可以降低频率信号Clk的频率来达成模拟式补偿电路14中大电容C1及C2稳定信号Vcomp的功效,因此混合式补偿电路20无需使用大电容C1及C2,可以轻易的整合到控制IC中以减少接脚数量。混合式补偿电路20为混合模拟电路及数字电路,因此相对于数字式补偿电路来说,混合式补偿电路20较简单,故占用较少的芯片面积,而且无需使用复杂DSP算法,可简化设计及降低成本。Fig. 11 shows the effectiveness of the present invention. The output voltage Vo and signal Vcomp of the power converter generated by the gm type analog compensation circuit 14 of Fig. 2 are shown in waveforms 92 and 96 respectively, and are generated by the hybrid compensation circuit 20 of the present invention. The output voltage Vo of the power converter and the third signal Vcomp are respectively shown as waveforms 94 and 98, which are almost the same as the effect of using the gm-type analog compensation circuit 14, and when the instantaneous load shown at time t1 occurs, there is also Good transient response, so the hybrid compensation circuit 20 can indeed replace the traditional analog compensation circuit 14 . The hybrid compensation circuit 20 can reduce the frequency of the frequency signal Clk to achieve the effect of the large capacitors C1 and C2 in the analog compensation circuit 14 to stabilize the signal Vcomp, so the hybrid compensation circuit 20 does not need to use the large capacitors C1 and C2, and can be easily integrated into control IC to reduce pin count. The hybrid compensation circuit 20 is a hybrid analog circuit and digital circuit, so compared to the digital compensation circuit, the hybrid compensation circuit 20 is simpler, so it takes up less chip area, and does not need to use complex DSP algorithms, which can simplify design and cut costs.

图12A示出本发明另一实施例的混合式补偿电路120;图12B-12G显示本发明另外几个实施例的混合式补偿电路120a-120f,这些电路是举例说明混合式补偿电路120的变化形式。FIG. 12A shows a hybrid compensation circuit 120 of another embodiment of the present invention; FIGS. 12B-12G show hybrid compensation circuits 120a-120f of several other embodiments of the present invention, and these circuits illustrate changes of the hybrid compensation circuit 120. form.

参照图12A,混合式补偿电路120包含数字信号产生器122、加法器123、数字模拟转换器(DAC)124、数字偏移注入器126、以及数字滤波器128,其中数字信号产生器122可视为第一极点产生器/补偿器,用以提供第一极点,数字偏移注入器126可视为零点产生器/补偿器,用以提供零点,数字滤波器128可视为第二极点产生器/补偿器,用以提供第二极点。本实施例与图3A实施例的不同处包括:零点产生器/补偿器与第二极点产生器/补偿器由数字电路来实施,且设置在DAC124的前方。不过,本实施例仅是举例;零点产生器/补偿器与第二极点产生器/补偿器并不必须都由数字电路来实施,而可以仅由其一数字电路来实施,例如但不限于可将第二极点产生器/补偿器改为模拟低通滤波器。如图12B所示,其中将图12A的数字滤波器128改换为LPF129。12A, the hybrid compensation circuit 120 includes a digital signal generator 122, an adder 123, a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) 124, a digital offset injector 126, and a digital filter 128, wherein the digital signal generator 122 is visible is a first pole generator/compensator for providing a first pole, the digital offset injector 126 may be regarded as a zero generator/compensator for providing a zero, and the digital filter 128 may be regarded as a second pole generator / compensator to provide the second pole. The difference between this embodiment and the embodiment in FIG. 3A includes: the zero point generator/compensator and the second pole generator/compensator are implemented by digital circuits and are arranged in front of the DAC 124 . However, this embodiment is only an example; the zero point generator/compensator and the second pole generator/compensator do not have to be implemented by digital circuits, but can be implemented by only one of the digital circuits, such as but not limited to Change the second pole generator/compensator to an analog low-pass filter. As shown in FIG. 12B, the digital filter 128 in FIG. 12A is replaced with an LPF129.

回到图12A,数字信号产生器122根据参考值Vref1及与电源转换器输出电压有关的回授信号Vfb1而产生数字信号Sd。数字偏移注入器126根据数字信号产生器122输出的另一个输出信号Sfd而产生一个可变的偏移值,此点容后说明。数字滤波器128过滤数字偏移注入器126的输出信号So(可变偏移值)而产生过滤后的偏移值Sfo,此过滤后的偏移值Sfo为输出信号So的相关信号。加法器123将数字信号Sd与过滤后的偏移值Sfo相加而产生数字信号Sd1,而DAC124将数字信号Sd1转换为信号Vcomp。Returning to FIG. 12A , the digital signal generator 122 generates the digital signal Sd according to the reference value Vref1 and the feedback signal Vfb1 related to the output voltage of the power converter. The digital offset injector 126 generates a variable offset value according to another output signal Sfd output by the digital signal generator 122, which will be described later. The digital filter 128 filters the output signal So (variable offset value) of the digital offset injector 126 to generate a filtered offset value Sfo, and the filtered offset value Sfo is a correlation signal of the output signal So. The adder 123 adds the digital signal Sd and the filtered offset value Sfo to generate a digital signal Sd1, and the DAC 124 converts the digital signal Sd1 into a signal Vcomp.

需说明的是:根据本发明,并不绝对必须产生/补偿两个极点和一个零点、亦即所产生/补偿的极点和零点数目可以改变。例如,在某些应用中,可以仅产生/补偿一个极点、或一个极点和一个零点、或两个极点。当仅需产生/补偿一个极点和一个零点时,可以省略数字滤波器128,这将成为图12C的电路。当仅需产生/补偿两个极点时,可以省略加法器123和数字偏移注入器126,这将成为图12D的电路。此外请注意数字滤波器128的位置不限于图12A所示;例如,数字滤波器128可位在加法器123的后方,如图12E所示(此例中,信号Sfd1为信号Sd1过滤后所得的信号,因此信号Sfd1可视为信号Sd1的相关信号)。It should be noted that according to the present invention, it is not absolutely necessary to generate/compensate two poles and one zero, that is, the number of generated/compensated poles and zeros can be changed. For example, in some applications it is possible to generate/compensate only one pole, or one pole and one zero, or two poles. When only one pole and one zero need to be generated/compensated, the digital filter 128 can be omitted, which would be the circuit of Fig. 12C. When only two poles need to be generated/compensated, adder 123 and digital offset injector 126 can be omitted, which will become the circuit of FIG. 12D. In addition, please note that the position of the digital filter 128 is not limited to that shown in FIG. 12A; for example, the digital filter 128 can be located behind the adder 123, as shown in FIG. signal, so the signal Sfd1 can be regarded as a related signal of the signal Sd1).

除上述安排之外,当然,所有的数字信号的相加,也可都转换为模拟信号后再相加,例如但不限于如图12F和12G所示,将数字信号产生器122的输出信号Sd和数字偏移注入器126的输出信号So分别以DAC124,124a转换换为模拟信号后再相加;图12F和12G的差别在于LPF129的位置(图12F实施例中,LPF129的输出信号为DAC124输出信号的过滤后信号,可视为DAC124输出信号的相关信号)。In addition to the above arrangements, of course, the addition of all digital signals can also be converted into analog signals and then added, for example, but not limited to, as shown in Figures 12F and 12G, the output signal Sd of the digital signal generator 122 and the output signal So of the digital offset injector 126 are respectively converted into analog signals by DAC124, 124a and then added; the difference between Fig. 12F and 12G is the position of LPF129 (in the embodiment of Fig. 12F, the output signal of LPF129 is the output signal of DAC124 The filtered signal of the signal can be regarded as the related signal of the DAC124 output signal).

图13显示数字信号产生器122的一个具体实施例。如图所示,在本实施例中,数字信号产生器122包括一个逐次求近缓存器(SAR,Successive Approximation Register)模拟数字转换器(ADC,Analog toDigital Converter)132,简称SAR-ADC,以及一个升降计数电路134。SAR-ADC132根据回授信号Vfb1及参考值Vref1而产生升降信号U/D。升降信号U/D控制升降计数电路134以使升降计数电路134的输出信号(即数字信号Sd)对应地上升或下降。升降计数电路134根据频率信号CLK而操作。在图12A-12C与12E的实施例中,较佳但非必要地,数字偏移注入器126可选择性地回授控制频率信号CLK的频率,例如可由数字偏移注入器126来产生频率信号CLK;或是由数字信号产生器122中的一个振荡器(未示出)来产生频率信号CLK,而由数字偏移注入器126发出信号来控制该振荡器。FIG. 13 shows a specific embodiment of the digital signal generator 122 . As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, the digital signal generator 122 includes a successive approximation register (SAR, Successive Approximation Register) analog-to-digital converter (ADC, Analog to Digital Converter) 132, referred to as SAR-ADC, and a Up and down counting circuit 134. The SAR-ADC132 generates a rising and falling signal U/D according to the feedback signal Vfb1 and the reference value Vref1. The up-down signal U/D controls the up-down counting circuit 134 so that the output signal of the up-down counting circuit 134 (ie, the digital signal Sd) rises or falls correspondingly. The up and down counting circuit 134 operates according to the frequency signal CLK. In the embodiment of FIGS. 12A-12C and 12E, preferably but not necessarily, the digital offset injector 126 can selectively feed back the frequency of the control frequency signal CLK, for example, the frequency signal can be generated by the digital offset injector 126 CLK; or an oscillator (not shown) in the digital signal generator 122 generates the frequency signal CLK, and the digital offset injector 126 sends a signal to control the oscillator.

SAR-ADC132另外产生一个输出信号Sfb。输出信号Sfb为对应于回授信号Vfb1的数字信号,或对应于回授信号Vfb1与参考值Vref1间之差值的数字信号,此点容后详细说明。SAR-ADC 132 additionally generates an output signal Sfb. The output signal Sfb is a digital signal corresponding to the feedback signal Vfb1, or a digital signal corresponding to the difference between the feedback signal Vfb1 and the reference value Vr e f1, which will be described in detail later.

图14A-14D显示SAR-ADC132的几个具体实施例。在图14A的实施例中,参考值Vref1为数字信号、且SAR-ADC132包含比较器144、控制器及数码产生器146、以及DAC148。比较器144将回授信号Vfb1与DAC148所产生的模拟回授信号相比较;响应于比较器144的输出信号,控制器及数码产生器146产生一个N位的数字编码(N为正整数),并将其传送给DAC148,而DAC148产生的模拟回授信号对应于此N位数字编码。依此方式所产生的N位数字编码是一个相关于回授信号Vfb1并逐渐趋近的数字信号,因此电路称为SAR-ADC。控制器及数码产生器146另产生一个数字信号Sfb,此数字信号Sfb可与前述N位数字编码为相同或不同的信号,亦即,数字信号Sfb可为N位或其它任意位数,且可与该N位数字编码采用相同或不同的表示格式。在其中一个实施例中,数字信号Sfb也对应于回授信号Vfb1,或可视为回授信号Vfb1的数字表示形式。通过比较器144、控制器及数码产生器146以及DAC148所形成的回授回路,数字信号Sfb可逐渐趋近而以数字形式精确表示回授信号Vfb1。此外,控制器及数码产生器146另接收参考值Vref1,并根据回授信号Vfb1与参考值Vref1间的比较结果而产生升降信号U/D。详言之,由于参考值Vref1为数字信号,且N位数字编码与数字信号Sfb皆为回授信号Vfb1的数字表示形式,因此上述“回授信号Vfb1与参考值Vref1间的比较”可将参考值Vref1与N位数字编码或数字信号Sfb的任一者以数字方式比较,例如相减。当回授信号Vfb1大于参考值Vref1时,即,当N位数字编码或数字信号Sfb大于参考值Vref1时,升降信号U/D指示升降计数电路134增加数字信号Sd(例如增加数字1)。当回授信号Vfb1小于参考值Vref1时,即,当N位数字编码或数字信号Sfb小于参考值Vref1时,升降信号U/D指示升降计数电路134降低位信号Sd(例如降低数字1)。14A-14D show several specific embodiments of SAR-ADC 132. In the embodiment of FIG. 14A , the reference value Vref1 is a digital signal, and the SAR-ADC 132 includes a comparator 144 , a controller and digital generator 146 , and a DAC 148 . The comparator 144 compares the feedback signal Vfb1 with the analog feedback signal generated by the DAC148; in response to the output signal of the comparator 144, the controller and the digital generator 146 generate an N-bit digital code (N is a positive integer), And transmit it to DAC148, and the analog feedback signal generated by DAC148 corresponds to this N-bit digital code. The N-bit digital code generated in this way is a digital signal that is related to the feedback signal Vfb1 and gradually approaches, so the circuit is called SAR-ADC. The controller and the digital generator 146 generate a digital signal Sfb in addition, and this digital signal Sfb can be the same as or different from the aforementioned N-bit digital encoding, that is, the digital signal Sfb can be N-bit or other arbitrary digits, and can be Use the same or different representation format as the N-digit code. In one embodiment, the digital signal Sfb also corresponds to the feedback signal Vfb1, or can be regarded as a digital representation of the feedback signal Vfb1. Through the feedback loop formed by the comparator 144 , the controller and digital generator 146 , and the DAC 148 , the digital signal Sfb can gradually approach to accurately represent the feedback signal Vfb1 in digital form. In addition, the controller and digital generator 146 further receives the reference value Vref1, and generates the up-down signal U/D according to the comparison result between the feedback signal Vfb1 and the reference value Vref1. In detail, since the reference value Vref1 is a digital signal, and both the N-bit digital code and the digital signal Sfb are digital representations of the feedback signal Vfb1, the above "comparison between the feedback signal Vfb1 and the reference value Vref1" can refer to The value Vref1 is digitally compared, eg subtracted, with either the N-bit digital code or the digital signal Sfb. When the feedback signal Vfb1 is greater than the reference value Vref1, that is, when the N-bit digital code or the digital signal Sfb is greater than the reference value Vref1, the up-down signal U/D instructs the up-down counting circuit 134 to increase the digital signal Sd (for example, increase the number 1). When the feedback signal Vfb1 is smaller than the reference value Vref1, that is, when the N-bit digital code or the digital signal Sfb is smaller than the reference value Vref1, the up-down signal U/D instructs the up-down counting circuit 134 to decrease the bit signal Sd (for example, decrease the number 1).

在另一个实施例中,数字信号Sfb对应于回授信号Vfb1与参考值Vref1之差,且可视为回授信号Vfb1与参考值Vref1之差的数字表示形式。类似地,由于参考值Vref1为数字信号,且N位数字编码为回授信号Vfb1的数字表示形式,因此上述“回授信号Vfb1与参考值Vref1间的差”可将参考值Vref1与N位数字编码以数字方式比较,例如相减。或是,数字信号Sfb可为该差值的一个数字编码。电路的其它部分与前述“数字信号Sfb对应于回授信号Vfb1”的实施例相似。In another embodiment, the digital signal Sfb corresponds to the difference between the feedback signal Vfb1 and the reference value Vref1 , and can be regarded as a digital representation of the difference between the feedback signal Vfb1 and the reference value Vref1 . Similarly, since the reference value Vref1 is a digital signal, and the N-digit number is coded as a digital representation of the feedback signal Vfb1, the above-mentioned "difference between the feedback signal Vfb1 and the reference value Vref1" can convert the reference value Vref1 to the N-digit number Encodings are compared numerically, eg subtracted. Alternatively, the digital signal Sfb can be a digital code of the difference. Other parts of the circuit are similar to the aforementioned embodiment of "the digital signal Sfb corresponds to the feedback signal Vfb1".

在图14B实施例中,参考值Vref1为数字信号,并输入DAC148作为初始数字。类似地,数字信号Sfb可以对应于回授信号Vfb1或对应于回授信号Vfb1与参考值Vref1之差(即,数字信号Sfb可为回授信号Vfb1的数字表示形式或回授信号Vfb1与参考值Vref1之差的数字表示形式)。电路的其它部分与图14A实施例相似。In the embodiment of FIG. 14B , the reference value Vref1 is a digital signal, which is input to the DAC148 as an initial digital signal. Similarly, the digital signal Sfb may correspond to the feedback signal Vfb1 or the difference between the feedback signal Vfb1 and the reference value Vref1 (that is, the digital signal Sfb may be a digital representation of the feedback signal Vfb1 or the difference between the feedback signal Vfb1 and the reference value Numerical representation of the difference between Vref1). The rest of the circuit is similar to the Fig. 14A embodiment.

在图14C实施例中,参考值Vref1为模拟信号,且SAR-ADC132包含误差放大器141、比较器142、控制器及数码产生器146、及DAC148。误差放大器141比较回授信号Vfb1与参考值Vref1而产生误差放大讯号。比较器142、控制器及数码产生器146及DAC148构成SAR,其操作方式相似于图14A的实施例,但数字信号Sfb为回授信号Vfb1与参考值Vref1之差的数字表示形式。In the embodiment of FIG. 14C , the reference value Vref1 is an analog signal, and the SAR-ADC 132 includes an error amplifier 141 , a comparator 142 , a controller and digital generator 146 , and a DAC 148 . The error amplifier 141 compares the feedback signal Vfb1 with the reference value Vref1 to generate an error amplification signal. The comparator 142, the controller and digital generator 146 and the DAC 148 constitute a SAR, and its operation is similar to the embodiment of FIG. 14A, but the digital signal Sfb is a digital representation of the difference between the feedback signal Vfb1 and the reference value Vref1.

在图14D实施例中,参考值Vref1为模拟信号,且SAR-ADC132包含两比较器143与144、控制器及数码产生器146、及DAC148。比较器143将DAC148所产生的模拟回授信号与参考值Vref1比较,并将比较结果输入控制器及数码产生器146。本实施例与图14A的实施例相似,但控制器及数码产生器146是接收比较器143的输出信号而非数字的参考值Vref1。In the embodiment of FIG. 14D , the reference value Vref1 is an analog signal, and the SAR-ADC 132 includes two comparators 143 and 144 , a controller and digital generator 146 , and a DAC 148 . The comparator 143 compares the analog feedback signal generated by the DAC 148 with the reference value Vref1 , and inputs the comparison result to the controller and digital generator 146 . This embodiment is similar to the embodiment of FIG. 14A , but the controller and digital generator 146 receives the output signal of the comparator 143 instead of the digital reference value Vref1.

图15示出升降计数电路134的实施例。升降计数电路134包含控制器152与升降计数器154。控制器152受控于升降信号U/D,并操作于频率信号CLK所决定的频率。控制器152与升降计数器154之间的关系和控制器42与升降计数器44之间的关系相似,因此不重复赘述于此。FIG. 15 shows an embodiment of the up and down counting circuit 134 . The up-down counting circuit 134 includes a controller 152 and a up-down counter 154 . The controller 152 is controlled by the up-down signal U/D, and operates at a frequency determined by the frequency signal CLK. The relationship between the controller 152 and the up-and-down counter 154 is similar to the relationship between the controller 42 and the up-and-down counter 44 , so it will not be repeated here.

图16A示出数字偏移注入器126的一个实施例。如前所述,数字偏移注入器126的作用是提供一个可变偏移值,以作为零点产生器/补偿器,且该可变偏移值相关于回授信号Vfb1与参考值Vref1之差。根据以上,数字偏移注入器126可用各种方式实施,只要能够产生一个对应于α·(Vfb1-Vref1)的数字或编码、或是产生α·(Vfb1-Vref1)的数字表示形式即可,其中α为正实数,代表一个比例常数,此比例常数对应于表示图2的模拟电路中,转导放大器16的转导系数乘以电阻R3的阻值。如图16A所示,在其中一个实施例中,数字偏移注入器126可以实现为数字乘法器,将数字信号Sfb乘以因子β而产生可变偏移值So,其中β为正实数。(或者,若因子β为小于1的正实数,则数字乘法器亦可为数字除法器,将数字信号Sfb除以(1/β)。)在本实施例中数字信号Sfb对应于回授信号Vfb1与参考值Vref1之差,或为回授信号Vfb1与参考值Vref1之差的数字表示形式。因子β可由混合式补偿电路的设计者来给定。数字乘法器所输出的可变偏移值So等于β·Sfb,对应于α·(Vfb1-Vref1)。One embodiment of digital offset injector 126 is shown in FIG. 16A . As mentioned above, the function of the digital offset injector 126 is to provide a variable offset value as a zero point generator/compensator, and the variable offset value is related to the difference between the feedback signal Vfb1 and the reference value Vref1 . According to the above, the digital offset injector 126 can be implemented in various ways, as long as it can generate a number or code corresponding to α·(Vfb1-Vref1), or generate a digital representation of α·(Vfb1-Vref1), Wherein α is a positive real number, representing a proportional constant, which corresponds to the transconductance coefficient of the transconductance amplifier 16 multiplied by the resistance value of the resistor R3 in the analog circuit shown in FIG. 2 . As shown in FIG. 16A , in one embodiment, the digital offset injector 126 can be implemented as a digital multiplier, which multiplies the digital signal Sfb by a factor β to generate a variable offset value So, where β is a positive real number. (Or, if the factor β is a positive real number less than 1, the digital multiplier can also be a digital divider, which divides the digital signal Sfb by (1/β).) In this embodiment, the digital signal Sfb corresponds to the feedback signal The difference between Vfb1 and the reference value Vref1 may be a digital representation of the difference between the feedback signal Vfb1 and the reference value Vref1. The factor β can be given by the designer of the hybrid compensation circuit. The variable offset value So output by the digital multiplier is equal to β·Sfb, corresponding to α·(Vfb1-Vref1).

在图16B实施例中,数字信号Sfb对应于回授信号Vfb1或为回授信号Vfb1的数字表示形式,而数字偏移注入器126包含加法/减法器162与数字乘法器164。加法/减法器162自数字信号Sfb中减去数字信号Sref1(或是加上数字信号Sref1的负值),其中数字信号Sref1对应于参考值Vref1,或为参考值Vref1的数字表示形式。数字乘法器164将数字信号Sfb与数字信号Sref1之差乘以因子β。由数字乘法器164输出的可变偏移值So等于β·(Sfb-Sref1),对应于α·(Vfb1-Vref1)。In the embodiment of FIG. 16B , the digital signal Sfb corresponds to the feedback signal Vfb1 or is a digital representation of the feedback signal Vfb1 , and the digital offset injector 126 includes an adder/subtractor 162 and a digital multiplier 164 . The adder/subtractor 162 subtracts the digital signal Sref1 (or adds the negative value of the digital signal Sref1 ) from the digital signal Sfb, wherein the digital signal Sref1 corresponds to the reference value Vref1 , or is a digital representation of the reference value Vref1 . The digital multiplier 164 multiplies the difference between the digital signal Sfb and the digital signal Sref1 by a factor β. The variable offset value So output by the digital multiplier 164 is equal to β·(Sfb-Sref1), corresponding to α·(Vfb1-Vref1).

除以上实施例外,数字偏移注入器126还有多种其它实施方式;例如,数字偏移注入器126可实现为一个内存,在其内多个地址里预先储存了多个偏移值,而数字信号Sfb可表示该内存的地址、或用以决定该内存的地址,如图16C所示。数字信号Sfb可对应于回授信号Vfb1、或对应于回授信号Vfb1与参考值Vref1之差。In addition to the above embodiments, the digital offset injector 126 also has multiple other implementations; for example, the digital offset injector 126 can be implemented as a memory, in which multiple addresses are pre-stored with multiple offset values, and The digital signal Sfb can represent the address of the memory, or be used to determine the address of the memory, as shown in FIG. 16C . The digital signal Sfb may correspond to the feedback signal Vfb1, or correspond to the difference between the feedback signal Vfb1 and the reference value Vref1.

图16D-16F显示数字偏移注入器126的另外三个实施例。参照图16D,在本实施例中数字偏移注入器126包含数字乘法器164与除频电路166。数字乘法器164的操作方式与图16A实施例相似。除频电路166接收频率信号CLK_132,该频率信号是SAR-ADC132操作的频率(例如,该频率信号是SAR-ADC132中DAC148操作所根据的频率)。除频电路166将频率信号CLK_132除频而产生除频后的频率信号CLK。所产生的频率信号CLK可视数字信号Sfb之值而有不同的频率f1,f2,…。亦即,频率信号CLK的频率由数字信号Sfb决定。频率信号CLK被传送至升降计数电路134(参照图12A-12C,图12E,图13与图15),使控制器152根据频率信号CLK而操作。依此方式,数字偏移注入器126可调变升降计数电路134的操作频率,而达到类似于图2中的电容C1所提供的作用。Three additional embodiments of the digital offset injector 126 are shown in FIGS. 16D-16F . Referring to FIG. 16D , in this embodiment, the digital offset injector 126 includes a digital multiplier 164 and a frequency dividing circuit 166 . Digital multiplier 164 operates in a similar manner to the Figure 16A embodiment. Frequency divider circuit 166 receives frequency signal CLK_132, which is the frequency at which SAR-ADC 132 operates (eg, the frequency signal at which DAC 148 in SAR-ADC 132 operates). The frequency dividing circuit 166 divides the frequency signal CLK_132 to generate a divided frequency signal CLK. The generated frequency signal CLK can have different frequencies f1, f2, . . . depending on the value of the digital signal Sfb. That is, the frequency of the clock signal CLK is determined by the digital signal Sfb. The frequency signal CLK is sent to the up-down counting circuit 134 (refer to FIGS. 12A-12C , FIG. 12E , FIG. 13 and FIG. 15 ), so that the controller 152 operates according to the frequency signal CLK. In this way, the digital offset injector 126 can adjust the operating frequency of the up-down counting circuit 134 to achieve a function similar to that provided by the capacitor C1 in FIG. 2 .

图16E与图16F分别对应于图16B与图16C,差异在于数字偏移注入器126另包含除频电路166以产生除频后的频率信号CLK。除频电路166操作方式与图16D的实施例相似。请注意在图16E实施例中,除了根据数字信号Sfb来将频率信号CLK_132除频之外,另一种方式是(未示出,可参照图16H),除频电路166亦可根据加法/减法器162的输出来对频率信号CLK_132除频。后面这方式中,因为数字信号Sref1对应于参考值Vref1、而参考值Vref1为已知信号,因此频率信号CLK的频率仍然是由数字信号Sfb决定。FIG. 16E and FIG. 16F are respectively corresponding to FIG. 16B and FIG. 16C , the difference is that the digital offset injector 126 further includes a frequency division circuit 166 to generate a frequency-divided frequency signal CLK. The frequency division circuit 166 operates in a similar manner to the embodiment of FIG. 16D. Please note that in the embodiment of FIG. 16E, in addition to dividing the frequency signal CLK_132 according to the digital signal Sfb, another way (not shown, refer to FIG. 16H) is that the frequency dividing circuit 166 can also divide the frequency signal according to the addition/subtraction The output of the device 162 is used to divide the frequency signal CLK_132. In the latter method, because the digital signal Sref1 corresponds to the reference value Vref1 and the reference value Vref1 is a known signal, the frequency of the clock signal CLK is still determined by the digital signal Sfb.

图16G-16I显示数字偏移注入器126的另外三个实施例。参照图16G,在本实施例中数字偏移注入器126包含数字乘法器164与DAC168。数字乘法器164的操作方式与图16A实施例相似。DAC168将数字信号Sfb转换为模拟信号,可为电流或电压信号。此外,数字信号产生器122还包含一个振荡器(OSC)136,可为电流控制或电压控制的振荡器,视DAC168所产生的是电流或电压信号而定。DAC168所产生的信号控制OSC136以决定OSC136所产生的频率信号CLK的频率。频率信号CLK为升降计数电路134操作所根据的频率。依此方式,数字偏移注入器126亦可调变升降计数电路134的操作频率,而达到类似于图2中的电容C1所提供的作用。Three additional embodiments of the digital offset injector 126 are shown in FIGS. 16G-16I. Referring to FIG. 16G , in this embodiment, the digital offset injector 126 includes a digital multiplier 164 and a DAC 168 . Digital multiplier 164 operates in a similar manner to the Figure 16A embodiment. DAC168 converts the digital signal Sfb into an analog signal, which can be a current or voltage signal. In addition, the digital signal generator 122 also includes an oscillator (OSC) 136, which can be a current-controlled or voltage-controlled oscillator, depending on whether the DAC 168 generates a current or voltage signal. The signal generated by the DAC168 controls the OSC136 to determine the frequency of the frequency signal CLK generated by the OSC136. The frequency signal CLK is the frequency on which the up-down counting circuit 134 operates. In this manner, the digital offset injector 126 can also adjust the operating frequency of the up-down counting circuit 134 to achieve a function similar to that provided by the capacitor C1 in FIG. 2 .

图16H与图16I分别对应于图16B与图16C,差异在于数字偏移注入器126另包含DAC168、且数字信号产生器122还包含OSC136。DAC168和OSC136的操作方式与图16G的实施例相似。请注意在图16H实施例中,DAC168将加法/减法器162的输出转换为模拟信号,以控制OSC136。在另一种实施方式中,DAC168可将数字信号Sfb转换为模拟信号,以控制OSC136。FIG. 16H and FIG. 16I correspond to FIG. 16B and FIG. 16C respectively, the difference is that the digital offset injector 126 further includes a DAC168, and the digital signal generator 122 further includes an OSC136. DAC 168 and OSC 136 operate in a similar manner to the embodiment of Figure 16G. Please note that in the embodiment of FIG. 16H , DAC 168 converts the output of adder/subtractor 162 into an analog signal to control OSC 136 . In another embodiment, the DAC 168 can convert the digital signal Sfb to an analog signal to control the OSC 136 .

图17A与17B显示数字滤波器128的两个实施例。参照图17A,在一个较简单的形式中,数字滤波器128可以实现为一个D正反器。以图12E的实施例为例,其中数字滤波器128连接于加法器123与DAC124之间,用以接收数字信号Sd1而产生过滤后的数字信号Sfd1,在此实施例中,数字信号Sd1可输入该D正反器中。D正反器根据频率信号CLK_128而操作,频率信号CLK_128的频率低于频率信号CLK_132(SAR-ADC132操作所依据的频率),且较佳为更低于频率信号CLK(升降计数电路134操作所依据的频率)。需说明的是数字128与132和频率的实际比例无关;这些数字附注的目的只是为了便利对照是哪个电路使用该频率信号。由于D正反器的操作频率较慢,因此可提供类似于图2中的电容C1所提供的作用。Two embodiments of the digital filter 128 are shown in FIGS. 17A and 17B . Referring to Figure 17A, in a simpler form, digital filter 128 can be implemented as a D flip-flop. Taking the embodiment of FIG. 12E as an example, the digital filter 128 is connected between the adder 123 and the DAC 124 to receive the digital signal Sd1 to generate a filtered digital signal Sfd1. In this embodiment, the digital signal Sd1 can be input The D flip-flop. D The flip-flop operates according to the frequency signal CLK_128, the frequency of the frequency signal CLK_128 is lower than the frequency signal CLK_132 (the frequency on which the SAR-ADC132 operates), and preferably lower than the frequency signal CLK (the frequency on which the up-and-down counting circuit 134 operates) Frequency of). It should be noted that the number 128 has nothing to do with the actual ratio of 132 and frequency; the purpose of these numerical annotations is only to facilitate comparison of which circuit uses the frequency signal. Since the operating frequency of the D flip-flop is relatively slow, it can provide a function similar to that provided by the capacitor C1 in FIG. 2 .

参照图17B,在一个较复杂的形式中,数字滤波器128可以实现为一个移动平均电路。也是以图12E的实施例为例,移动平均电路接收数字信号Sd1并根据移动平均计算而产生过滤后的数字信号Sfd1。移动平均计算方式有许多种,都可使用,举其中一例如下:Referring to Figure 17B, in a more complex form, digital filter 128 may be implemented as a moving average circuit. Also taking the embodiment of FIG. 12E as an example, the moving average circuit receives the digital signal Sd1 and generates a filtered digital signal Sfd1 according to the moving average calculation. There are many ways to calculate the moving average, all of which can be used, one example is as follows:

Sfd1t=sumt/n=(sum(t-1)-Sfd1(t-1)+Sfdt)/n   公式3Sfd1 t =sum t /n=(sum (t-1) -Sfd1 (t-1) +Sfd t )/n Formula 3

其中Sfd1t与Sfd1(t-1)分别为目前时点的数字信号Sfd1与前一时点的数字信号Sfd1;Sfdt为目前时点的数字信号Sfd;Sumt与Sum(t-1)分别为目前时点的累积和与前一时点的累积和;n为除数,通常为正整数,以决定移动平均的平滑度与趋近速度。Among them, Sfd1 t and Sfd1 (t-1) are the digital signal Sfd1 at the current time point and the digital signal Sfd1 at the previous time point respectively; Sfd t is the digital signal Sfd at the current time point; Sum t and Sum (t-1) are respectively The cumulative sum of the current time point and the cumulative sum of the previous time point; n is a divisor, usually a positive integer, to determine the smoothness and approach speed of the moving average.

虽然图17A与图17B以图12E的实施例为例,显然图17A与图17B的电路也可应用于其它实施例。Although FIG. 17A and FIG. 17B take the embodiment of FIG. 12E as an example, it is obvious that the circuit of FIG. 17A and FIG. 17B can also be applied to other embodiments.
