可降低功率損耗的可程式電源轉換器及其中的降低功率損耗之電源傳輸電路Programmable power converter capable of reducing power loss and power transmission circuit for reducing power loss therein

本發明有關於一種可降低功率損耗的可程式電源轉換器及其中的降低功率損耗之電源傳輸電路,特別是指一種藉由降低功率損耗之電源傳輸電路來提供電源,以達成功率損耗降低的可程式電源轉換器。The invention relates to a programmable power converter capable of reducing power loss and a power transmission circuit for reducing power loss, in particular to a power transmission circuit for reducing power loss to provide power for achieving power loss reduction. Programmable power converter.

請參考第1圖,其示出先前技術之可程式電源轉換器的方塊示意圖。如第1圖所示,先前技術之可程式電源轉換器100包含: 一整流電路11、一變壓器電路15、一功率開關電路16、一反饋電路14、一一次側控制電路13與一二次側控制電路12。交流電壓Vac經由整流電路11整流後,產生輸入電壓VIN。Please refer to FIG. 1, which shows a block diagram of a prior art programmable power converter. As shown in FIG. 1, the prior art programmable power converter 100 includes: a rectifier circuit 11, a transformer circuit 15, a power switch circuit 16, a feedback circuit 14, a primary side control circuit 13 and a second time Side control circuit 12. The AC voltage Vac is rectified by the rectifier circuit 11 to generate an input voltage VIN.

可程式電源轉換器100利用其中之變壓器電路15接收輸入電壓VIN,並在功率開關電路16的操作下,將輸入電壓VIN轉換為可程式輸出電壓VOUT。一次側控制電路13根據一電流感測訊號Vcs與反饋電路14所產生的一反饋訊號S3,產生一操作訊號S1,以操作功率開關電路16中的功率開關161,而將輸入電壓VIN轉換為可程式輸出電壓VOUT。其中,該反饋訊號S3相關於可程式輸出電壓VOUT的目前實際值。The programmable power converter 100 receives the input voltage VIN using the transformer circuit 15 therein, and converts the input voltage VIN into a programmable output voltage VOUT under the operation of the power switching circuit 16. The primary side control circuit 13 generates an operation signal S1 according to a current sensing signal Vcs and a feedback signal S3 generated by the feedback circuit 14 to operate the power switch 161 in the power switching circuit 16 to convert the input voltage VIN into a The program outputs voltage VOUT. The feedback signal S3 is related to the current actual value of the programmable output voltage VOUT.

變壓器電路15包括一主要繞組 (primary winding)W1、一次要繞組(secondary winding)W2 與一第三繞組(tertiary winding)W3。主要繞組W1位於變壓器電路15的一次側15a,用以接收輸入電壓VIN。次要繞組W2位於變壓器電路15的二次側15b,用以於一輸出端OUT產生可程式輸出電壓VOUT。第三繞組W3位於變壓器電路15的一次側15a,用以根據可程式輸出電壓VOUT,產生對應於可程式輸出電壓VOUT的一供應電壓SBP’。此供應電壓SBP’係作為一次側控制電路13之電源。The transformer circuit 15 includes a primary winding W1, a secondary winding W2 and a tertiary winding W3. The primary winding W1 is located on the primary side 15a of the transformer circuit 15 for receiving the input voltage VIN. The secondary winding W2 is located on the secondary side 15b of the transformer circuit 15 for generating a programmable output voltage VOUT at an output terminal OUT. The third winding W3 is located on the primary side 15a of the transformer circuit 15 for generating a supply voltage SBP' corresponding to the programmable output voltage VOUT based on the programmable output voltage VOUT. This supply voltage SBP' serves as a power source for the primary side control circuit 13.

反饋訊號二次側控制電路12與反饋電路14耦接,用以根據可程式輸出電壓VOUT,控制反饋電路14產生反饋訊號S3。二次側控制電路12接收一設定訊號S2,此設定訊號S2可調整反饋訊號S3,藉此改變可程式輸出電壓VOUT和反饋訊號S3間的比例,以改變可程式輸出電壓VOUT的目標值。The feedback signal secondary side control circuit 12 is coupled to the feedback circuit 14 for controlling the feedback circuit 14 to generate the feedback signal S3 according to the programmable output voltage VOUT. The secondary side control circuit 12 receives a set signal S2, which can adjust the feedback signal S3, thereby changing the ratio between the programmable output voltage VOUT and the feedback signal S3 to change the target value of the programmable output voltage VOUT.

在先前技術之可程式電源轉換器100的架構中,由於供應電壓SBP’係與可程式輸出電壓VOUT成比例關係,因此,當可程式輸出電壓VOUT被設定於一相對較高之輸出電壓位準時,供應電壓SBP’亦會對應地具有一相對較高之電壓位準。如此一來,當一次側控制電路13所需之電源電壓小於具有相對較高之電壓位準的供應電壓SBP’時,將會造成不必要的功率損耗。在此情況下,功率的損耗可以下式表示: P (功率) =  SBP’ (供應電壓) * IDD (輸出電流)In the architecture of the prior art programmable power converter 100, since the supply voltage SBP' is proportional to the programmable output voltage VOUT, when the programmable output voltage VOUT is set to a relatively high output voltage level The supply voltage SBP' will also have a relatively high voltage level correspondingly. As a result, when the power supply voltage required for the primary side control circuit 13 is smaller than the supply voltage SBP' having a relatively high voltage level, unnecessary power loss will be caused. In this case, the power loss can be expressed as: P (power) = SBP' (supply voltage) * IDD (output current)

The secondary side control circuit 12 is coupled to the feedback circuit 14 and the secondary winding W2 of the transformer circuit 25 for generating the setting signal S2 according to the programmable output voltage VOUT.

由於可降低功率損耗的可程式電源轉換器200在本實施例中係以隔離式交直流轉換器為例來說明,因此,在一實施例中,反饋電路14對應地可為一隔離式反饋電路,例如但不限於可為一光耦合電路,如第3圖所示,但本發明不限於此。如為其他型式的電源轉換器,則反饋電路14可為其他型式的反饋電路(例如但不限於分壓電阻)。The programmable power converter 200, which can reduce the power loss, is exemplified by an isolated AC/DC converter in this embodiment. Therefore, in an embodiment, the feedback circuit 14 can be an isolated feedback circuit. For example, but not limited to, it may be an optical coupling circuit as shown in FIG. 3, but the invention is not limited thereto.

In an embodiment, the adjustment circuit 271 is, for example but not limited to, a Low Dropout Regulator (LDO). In one embodiment of a low dropout linear regulator (LDO), as shown in FIG. 5, the conditioning circuit 271 can include a bipolar transistor 2712 and a Zener diode 2711.

調節電路27根據高位準偏壓HBP進行降壓調節,以產生一第一調節偏壓VD1。低位準偏壓LBP產生與低位準偏壓LBP對應的第二調節偏壓VD2。藉由單向導通電路272和單向導通電路273之作用,使得供應電壓由第一調節偏壓VD1和第二調節偏壓VD2中較高者決定。The adjustment circuit 27 performs a step-down adjustment according to the high level bias voltage HBP to generate a first adjustment bias voltage VD1. The low level bias voltage LBP generates a second regulation bias voltage VD2 corresponding to the low level potential bias LBP. By the action of the unidirectional conduction circuit 272 and the unidirectional conduction circuit 273, the supply voltage is determined by the higher of the first adjustment bias voltage VD1 and the second regulation bias voltage VD2.

關於本發明之降低功率損耗之電源傳輸電路27如何減少本發明之可降低功率損耗的可程式電源轉換器200的功率損耗,請參考第6圖的說明並同時對照第2圖、第4圖及第5圖。第6圖顯示可程式輸出電壓VOUT、第一調節偏壓VD1、第二調節偏壓VD2及供應電壓SBP之間的關係。Regarding how the power transmission circuit 27 of the present invention for reducing the power loss reduces the power loss of the programmable power converter 200 of the present invention which can reduce the power loss, please refer to the description of FIG. 6 and simultaneously compare FIG. 2 and FIG. 4 with Figure 5. Figure 6 shows the relationship between the programmable output voltage VOUT, the first regulated bias voltage VD1, the second regulated bias voltage VD2, and the supply voltage SBP.

如第6圖所示,由於高位準偏壓HBP和低位準偏壓LBP取自第三繞組,而可程式輸出電壓VOUT取自次要繞組,因此高位準偏壓HBP和低位準偏壓LBP相關於可程式輸出電壓VOUT。如前所述,可程式輸出電壓VOUT可被設定為相對較高之輸出電壓位準或相對較低之輸出電壓位準。當可程式輸出電壓VOUT處於一相對較低之輸出電壓位準時 (第6圖的左半部份),舉例而言,當高位準偏壓HBP在第6圖所示的A點時,根據本發明,調節電路271將A點的電壓位準 (高位準偏壓HBP)進行降壓調節,而產生一第一調節偏壓VD1,如第6圖的B點所示。舉例而言,在第5圖實施例的情況下,第一調節偏壓 VD1等於齊納二極體2711的齊納電壓 V2711減去雙極性電晶體2712的基射極壓差V2712。意即,第一調節偏壓 VD1可以下式表示: VD1=V2711- V2712As shown in FIG. 6, since the high level bias voltage HBP and the low level bias LBP are taken from the third winding, and the programmable output voltage VOUT is taken from the secondary winding, the high level bias voltage HBP is related to the low level bias LBP. The programmable output voltage VOUT. As previously mentioned, the programmable output voltage VOUT can be set to a relatively high output voltage level or a relatively low output voltage level. When the programmable output voltage VOUT is at a relatively low output voltage level (the left half of Fig. 6), for example, when the high level bias HBP is at point A shown in Fig. 6, according to the present According to the invention, the adjusting circuit 271 steps-down the voltage level of the point A (high level bias voltage HBP) to generate a first regulating bias voltage VD1 as indicated by point B in FIG. For example, in the case of the embodiment of Fig. 5, the first adjustment bias voltage VD1 is equal to the Zener voltage V2711 of the Zener diode 2711 minus the base emitter voltage difference V2712 of the bipolar transistor 2712. That is, the first adjustment bias voltage VD1 can be expressed as: VD1=V2711- V2712

由於齊納電壓 V2711及基射極壓差V2712皆為定值,因此,第一調節偏壓 VD1為一定值。如此一來,在可程式輸出電壓VOUT處於一相對較低之輸出電壓位準的情況下 (第6圖的左半部份),不論高位準偏壓HBP的電壓位準為何,高位準偏壓HBP皆會被調節電路27進行降壓調節,以產生一固定值的電壓位準 (即第一調節偏壓 VD1)。Since the Zener voltage V2711 and the base emitter voltage difference V2712 are constant values, the first adjustment bias voltage VD1 is a constant value. In this way, when the programmable output voltage VOUT is at a relatively low output voltage level (the left half of FIG. 6), regardless of the voltage level of the high level bias voltage HBP, the high level bias The HBP is stepped down by the conditioning circuit 27 to produce a fixed voltage level (i.e., the first regulated bias voltage VD1).

此時,供應電壓SBP等於第一調節偏壓 VD1 減去單向導通電路272 的壓降;舉例而言,在第5圖實施例的情況下,供應電壓SBP等於第一調節偏壓 VD1 減去減去二極體2721的順向電壓V2721。意即,在可程式輸出電壓VOUT處於一相對較低之輸出電壓位準的情況下(第6圖的左半部份),供應電壓SBP可以下式表示: SBP=VD1-V2721=(V2711- V2712)- V2721 此供應電壓SBP應大於或等於一次側控制電路13所需的工作電壓。At this time, the supply voltage SBP is equal to the first regulated bias voltage VD1 minus the voltage drop of the unidirectional conduction circuit 272; for example, in the case of the embodiment of Fig. 5, the supply voltage SBP is equal to the first regulated bias voltage VD1 minus The forward voltage V2721 of the diode 2721 is subtracted. That is, when the programmable output voltage VOUT is at a relatively low output voltage level (the left half of Fig. 6), the supply voltage SBP can be expressed by the following equation: SBP=VD1-V2721=(V2711- V2712) - V2721 This supply voltage SBP should be greater than or equal to the operating voltage required by the primary side control circuit 13.

另一方面,當可程式輸出電壓VOUT處於一相對較高之輸出電壓位準時 (第6圖的右半部份),舉例而言,當低位準偏壓LBP處於第6圖所示的D點時,在此情況下,降低功率損耗之電源傳輸電路27則根據低位準偏壓LBP來產生第二調節偏壓VD2。On the other hand, when the programmable output voltage VOUT is at a relatively high output voltage level (the right half of FIG. 6), for example, when the low level bias LBP is at point D shown in FIG. At this time, the power transmission circuit 27 that reduces the power loss generates the second adjustment bias voltage VD2 according to the low level bias LBP.

意即,在可程式輸出電壓VOUT處於一相對較高之輸出電壓位準的情況下(第6圖的右半部份),供應電壓SBP可以下式表示:That is, in the case where the programmable output voltage VOUT is at a relatively high output voltage level (the right half of Fig. 6), the supply voltage SBP can be expressed as:

SBP=LBP - V2731 其中,V2731係為二極體2731的順向電壓。SBP=LBP - V2731 where V2731 is the forward voltage of the diode 2731.

在所示實施例中,第二調節偏壓VD2等於低位準偏壓LBP,但在其他實施例中,也可以使低位準偏壓LBP經過壓降後產生第二調節偏壓VD2。In the illustrated embodiment, the second regulated bias voltage VD2 is equal to the low level biased LBP, but in other embodiments, the low leveling bias LBP may also be subjected to a voltage drop to produce a second regulated bias voltage VD2.

如前所述,根據本發明,供應電壓SBP係由第一調節偏壓VD1和第二調節偏壓VD2中較高者決定,如第6圖中的粗實線所示。與先前技術相比,本發明可以降低功率耗損,原因如下。在先前技術中,是以第三繞組來提供一次側控制電路13電源,對應於第6圖中,以高位準偏壓HBP來提供電源。在先前技術中,不能以低位準偏壓LBP來提供電源,因為當低位準偏壓LBP過低時(例如第6圖中的C點),一次側控制電路13將無法工作。因此,先前技術以高位準偏壓HBP來提供電源,和本發明以第6圖中的粗實線來提供電源,兩者相較,本發明之電壓較低,而功率等於電壓乘以電流,因此本發明降低了功率耗損。As described above, according to the present invention, the supply voltage SBP is determined by the higher of the first adjustment bias voltage VD1 and the second regulation bias voltage VD2, as indicated by the thick solid line in FIG. The present invention can reduce power consumption compared to the prior art for the following reasons. In the prior art, the power supply of the primary side control circuit 13 is provided with a third winding, and the power supply is provided with a high level bias voltage HBP corresponding to Fig. 6. In the prior art, the power supply cannot be supplied with the low level bias LBP because the primary side control circuit 13 will not operate when the low level bias LBP is too low (e.g., point C in Fig. 6). Accordingly, the prior art provides a power supply with a high level biased HBP, and the present invention provides a power supply with a thick solid line in FIG. 6, which is lower in voltage and multiplied by a current, The invention thus reduces power consumption.
