Description

單電感雙極性輸出升降壓轉換器及其控制方法Single-inductance bipolar output buck-boost converter and control method thereof

本發明是有關於一種單電感雙極性輸出(SIBO,Single Inductor Bipolar Output)升降壓轉換器及其控制方法。The invention relates to a single inductive bipolar output (SIBO) buck-boost converter and a control method thereof.

行動系統與顯示器需要有效的長時間電池使用。此外,顯示品質是重要性能特徵之一,但即便在重負載電流變動、快速輸入電壓變動與直流-直流轉換器的切換雜訊中,顯示品質仍不能被犧牲。Mobile systems and displays require effective long-term battery use. In addition, display quality is one of the important performance characteristics, but the display quality cannot be sacrificed even in heavy load current fluctuations, fast input voltage variations, and DC-DC converter switching noise.

主動式矩陣OLED(active matrix OLED,AMOLED)顯示在行動顯示應用中愈來愈普遍,因為主動式矩陣OLED的優點在於高顯示品質、低功率消耗與低材質成本。主動式矩陣OLED面板通常需要具有不同電壓的正極性與負極性電源供應。而且此所需之正電壓和負電壓電源輸出之漣波大小必需要夠小,才能避免水波紋的產生,破壞面板顯示品質。不同面板可能具有不同輸出電流與電壓的需求,通常取決於面板尺寸、畫素數量、顯示品質等。Active matrix OLED (AMOLED) displays are becoming more and more popular in mobile display applications because active matrix OLEDs have the advantages of high display quality, low power consumption and low material cost. Active matrix OLED panels typically require positive and negative power supplies with different voltages. Moreover, the required chopping voltage of the positive voltage and negative voltage power supply output must be small enough to avoid the occurrence of water ripple and damage the display quality of the panel. Different panels may have different output currents and voltages, depending on panel size, number of pixels, display quality, and so on.

第1圖顯示習知的單電感AMOLED電源供應器,其為兩級SIBO轉換器。如第1圖所示,習知兩級SIBO轉換器100包括:同步升降壓電路(synchronous buck-boost circuit)120,電荷泵(charge pump)140,電感L11與電容C11-C15。電容C11-C13是去耦合電容。電容C14-C15是飛馳電容(fly capacitor)。習知兩級SIBO轉換器100產生正輸出Vop與正電流Iop以驅動負載160,並產生負輸出Von與負電流Ion以驅動負載180。輸入端提供輸入電壓Vin與輸入電流Iin。Figure 1 shows a conventional single inductor AMOLED power supply that is a two stage SIBO converter. As shown in FIG. 1, the conventional two-stage SIBO converter 100 includes a synchronous buck-boost circuit 120, a charge pump 140, an inductor L11 and capacitors C11-C15. Capacitors C11-C13 are decoupling capacitors. Capacitors C14-C15 are fly capacitors. The conventional two-stage SIBO converter 100 generates a positive output Vop and a positive current Iop to drive the load 160 and generates a negative output Von and a negative current Ion to drive the load 180. The input terminal provides an input voltage Vin and an input current Iin.

依據輸入電壓Vin和輸出電壓Vop之相對關係條件,同步升降壓電路120可以操作在降壓、升降壓和升壓等模式。此輸入電壓Vin通常由鋰電池所提供,輸入電壓Vin之電壓範圍介於3.0V到4.5V,而輸出電壓Vop的所需值則有關於AMOLED面板大小,顯示亮度以及驅動晶片,輸出電壓Vop的常用典型值包括4.6V、3.3V、2.8V與2.5V等等。According to the relative relationship between the input voltage Vin and the output voltage Vop, the synchronous buck-boost circuit 120 can operate in a mode such as buck, buck-boost, and boost. The input voltage Vin is usually provided by a lithium battery, and the voltage of the input voltage Vin ranges from 3.0V to 4.5V, and the required value of the output voltage Vop is related to the size of the AMOLED panel, the display brightness, and the driving chip, the output voltage Vop. Commonly used typical values include 4.6V, 3.3V, 2.8V and 2.5V, and so on.

電荷泵140用以從正輸出Vop產生負輸出Von。電荷泵140可有許多輸出段(step),例如但不受限於,-1x與-1.5x。利用飛馳電容C14,電荷泵140可實現-1x,亦即Von=Vop*(-1)。利用飛馳電容C14與C15,電荷泵140可實現-1.5x,亦即Von=Vop*(-1.5)。負輸出Von可由轉換器數位介面設定為正輸出Vop的-1x~-1.5x,以符合AMOLED顯示器的高亮度需求。The charge pump 140 is used to generate a negative output Von from the positive output Vop. The charge pump 140 can have a number of output steps, such as, but not limited to, -1x and -1.5x. With the flying capacitor C14, the charge pump 140 can achieve -1x, that is, Von = Vop*(-1). With the flying capacitors C14 and C15, the charge pump 140 can achieve -1.5x, that is, Von = Vop* (-1.5). The negative output Von can be set by the converter digital interface to -1x~-1.5x of the positive output Vop to meet the high brightness requirements of the AMOLED display.

由第1圖可看出,正輸出Vop與負輸出Von的產生是獨立控制的。As can be seen from Fig. 1, the generation of the positive output Vop and the negative output Von is independently controlled.

第2圖顯示兩級SIBO轉換器100的能量轉換效率圖。能量轉換效率Eff定義如下: Eff= Figure 2 shows the energy conversion efficiency map of the two-stage SIBO converter 100. The energy conversion efficiency Eff is defined as follows: Eff=

如第2圖所示,當Vop等於2.8(V)時,習知兩級SIBO轉換器100在Von=Vop*(-1)=2.8*(-1)=-2.8(V)或者Von=Vop*(-1.5)=2.8*(-1.5)=-4.2(V)有最佳能量轉換效率。然而,當Von不等於-2.8(V)或者-4.2(V)時,習知兩級SIBO轉換器100的能量轉換效率不佳。因而,需要改善習知兩級SIBO轉換器的能量轉換效率。As shown in Fig. 2, when Vop is equal to 2.8 (V), the conventional two-stage SIBO converter 100 has Von = Vop * (-1) = 2.8 * (-1) = -2.8 (V) or Von = Vop. *(-1.5)=2.8*(-1.5)=-4.2(V) has the best energy conversion efficiency. However, when Von is not equal to -2.8 (V) or -4.2 (V), the conventional two-stage SIBO converter 100 has poor energy conversion efficiency. Thus, there is a need to improve the energy conversion efficiency of conventional two-stage SIBO converters.

相反地,在輕負載下,利用正確的回授控制,SIBO升降壓轉換器300進入DCM模式。在輕負載下,電感電流IL的平均電流較小,且可能放電至0。當電感電流IL的平均電流接近0時,開關SW1、SWP與SWN將被關閉,然而,這五個開關SW1、SW2、SW3、SWP與SWN可為導通或關閉,而且,電感L31未吸收能量也未釋出能量,直到下一個時脈周期。此可藉由將電感L31的一端或兩端浮接而達成,或者將電感L31的兩端彼此短路而達成。例如,開關SW2、SW3、SWP與SWN可關閉,而開關SW1可導通。或者,開關SW1、SWP與SWN可關閉,而開關SW2與SW3可導通。Conversely, under light load, the SIBO buck-boost converter 300 enters the DCM mode with proper feedback control. At light loads, the average current of the inductor current IL is small and may discharge to zero. When the average current of the inductor current IL is close to 0, the switches SW1, SWP and SWN will be turned off, however, the five switches SW1, SW2, SW3, SWP and SWN may be turned on or off, and the inductor L31 does not absorb energy. No energy is released until the next clock cycle. This can be achieved by floating one end or both ends of the inductor L31 or by short-circuiting both ends of the inductor L31. For example, the switches SW2, SW3, SWP, and SWN can be turned off, and the switch SW1 can be turned on. Alternatively, switches SW1, SWP, and SWN can be turned off, while switches SW2 and SW3 can be turned on.

請參考第4圖與第5圖。在第一操作時相P1下,開關SW1與 SW3導通且開關SW2、SWP與SWN則為關閉,其標示為第4圖中的 “P1, 13”。“P1, 13”代表,在第一操作時相P1下,開關SW1與 SW3導通。因而,在第一操作時相P1下,電感電流IL從輸入Vin透過電感L31與開關SW1、SW3而流至接地端GROUND,以對電感L31充電。因此,第一操作時相P1是電感充電操作時相。電感充電操作時相(亦即P1)的空佔比(duty cycle)可回應於回授信號Von_FB而控制。Please refer to Figures 4 and 5. In the first operational phase P1, switches SW1 and SW3 are turned on and switches SW2, SWP and SWN are turned off, which is labeled "P1, 13" in Fig. 4. "P1, 13" represents that, in the first operational phase P1, the switches SW1 and SW3 are turned on. Therefore, in the first operation phase P1, the inductor current IL flows from the input Vin through the inductor L31 and the switches SW1, SW3 to the ground terminal GROUND to charge the inductor L31. Therefore, the first operational phase P1 is the phase of the inductive charging operation. The duty cycle of the inductive charging operation phase (ie, P1) can be controlled in response to the feedback signal Von_FB.

在第二操作時相P2下,開關SW1與SWP導通,而開關SW2、SW3與SWN則為關閉,在第4圖中標示為“P2, 1P”。“P2, 1P”代表,在第二操作時相P2下,開關SW1與SWP導通。因而,在第二操作時相P2下,電感電流從電感L31流出並透過開關SP與電容C32而流至接地端GROUND。電感L31被充磁,如果輸入電壓Vin高於輸出電壓Vop,而電感L31放出能量,如果輸入電壓Vin低於輸出電壓Vop。因此,對電容C32充電,且正輸出Vop產生於電容C32之上。因此,第二操作時相P1是正輸出充電(positive output energizing)操作時相。正輸出充電操作時相(亦即P2)的空佔比可回應於回授信號Vop_FB與Von_FB而控制。In the second operational phase P2, the switches SW1 and SWP are turned on, while the switches SW2, SW3 and SWN are turned off, and are labeled "P2, 1P" in FIG. "P2, 1P" represents that, in the second operation phase P2, the switches SW1 and SWP are turned on. Therefore, in the second operation phase P2, the inductor current flows from the inductor L31 and flows through the switch SP and the capacitor C32 to the ground terminal GROUND. The inductor L31 is magnetized if the input voltage Vin is higher than the output voltage Vop, and the inductor L31 discharges energy if the input voltage Vin is lower than the output voltage Vop. Therefore, the capacitor C32 is charged, and the positive output Vop is generated above the capacitor C32. Therefore, the second operational phase P1 is the phase of the positive output energizing operation. The ratio of the phase of the positive output charging operation (i.e., P2) can be controlled in response to the feedback signals Vop_FB and Von_FB.

在第三操作時相P3下,開關SW2與SWP導通,而開關SW1、SW3與SWN則為關閉,在第4圖中標示為“P3, 2P”。“P3, 2P”代表,在第三操作時相P3下,開關SW2與SWP導通。因而,第三操作時相P3是電感釋放能量操作時相,且電感電流從電流L31釋放至電容C32。In the third operational phase P3, the switches SW2 and SWP are turned on, while the switches SW1, SW3, and SWN are turned off, and are labeled "P3, 2P" in FIG. "P3, 2P" represents that, in the third operation phase P3, the switches SW2 and SWP are turned on. Thus, the third operational phase P3 is the phase of the inductor release energy operation, and the inductor current is released from the current L31 to the capacitor C32.

在第四操作時相P4下,開關SW3與SWN導通而開關SW1、SW2與SWP則為關閉,在第4圖中標示為“P4, 3N”。“P4, 3N”代表,在第四操作時相P4下,開關SW3與SWN為導通。因而,在第四操作時相P4下,電感L31將所儲能的電能釋放,電感電流IL從電感L31透過開關SN與電容C33而流至接地端GROUND。因此,對電容C33充電,而負輸出Von產生於電容C33之上。第四操作時相P4是負輸出充電(negative output energizing)操作時相。In the fourth operational phase P4, the switches SW3 and SWN are turned on and the switches SW1, SW2 and SWP are turned off, and are labeled "P4, 3N" in FIG. "P4, 3N" represents that, in the fourth operation phase P4, the switches SW3 and SWN are turned on. Therefore, in the fourth operation phase P4, the inductor L31 releases the stored energy, and the inductor current IL flows from the inductor L31 through the switch SN and the capacitor C33 to the ground terminal GROUND. Therefore, the capacitor C33 is charged, and the negative output Von is generated above the capacitor C33. The fourth operational phase P4 is the phase of the negative output energizing operation.

在第五操作時相P5(第4圖未顯示出),電感L31的至少一端為浮接,或電感L31的兩端彼此短路。例如,開關SW1、SWN和SWP都是關閉,而開關SW2與SW3可為導通或關閉。第五操作時相P5是0電感電流操作時相。在第五操作時相P5下,電感L31的至少一端是浮接的,因而,電感未被充電也未被放電。In the fifth operation phase P5 (not shown in FIG. 4), at least one end of the inductor L31 is floating, or both ends of the inductor L31 are short-circuited to each other. For example, switches SW1, SWN, and SWP are all off, while switches SW2 and SW3 can be on or off. In the fifth operation phase P5 is the 0 inductor current operation phase. At the fifth operational phase P5, at least one end of the inductor L31 is floating, and thus the inductor is not charged or discharged.

第5圖也顯示出5種操作模式,亦即,在Vin>Vop且重負載(CCM)下的操作模式,在Vin≈Vop且重負載(CCM)下的操作模式,在Vin<Vop且重負載(CCM)下的操作模式,在Vin>Vop且輕負載(DCM)下的操作模式,以及在Vin<Vop且輕負載(DCM)下的操作模式。Figure 5 also shows five operating modes, that is, the operating mode under Vin>Vop and heavy load (CCM), the operating mode under VinVop and heavy load (CCM), in Vin<Vop and heavy Operating mode under load (CCM), operating mode under Vin>Vop and light load (DCM), and operating mode under Vin<Vop and light load (DCM).

如第5圖所示,在Vin>Vop且重負載(CCM)下的操作模式,於第一操作時相P1下,開關SW1與SW3為導通,因而電感電流IL上升。在第二操作時相P2下,開關SW1與SWP為導通,電感電流IL上升,而且,正輸出Vop產生於電容C32之上。在第四操作時相P4下,開關SW3與SWN導通,因此電感電流IL下降。在第四操作時相P4下,負輸出Von產生於電容C33之上。As shown in Fig. 5, in the operation mode under Vin>Vop and heavy load (CCM), in the first operation phase P1, the switches SW1 and SW3 are turned on, and thus the inductor current IL rises. In the second operation phase P2, the switches SW1 and SWP are turned on, the inductor current IL rises, and the positive output Vop is generated above the capacitor C32. In the fourth operational phase P4, the switches SW3 and SWN are turned on, and thus the inductor current IL is lowered. In the fourth operational phase P4, the negative output Von is generated above the capacitor C33.

相似地,在Vin≈Vop且重負載(CCM)下的操作模式,於第一操作時相P1下,開關SW1與SW3為導通,因而電感電流IL上升。在第二操作時相P2下,開關SW1與SWP為導通,但電感電流IL持平,而且,正輸出Vop產生於電容C32之上。在第四操作時相P4下,開關SW3與SWN導通,因此電感電流IL下降。在第四操作時相P4下,負輸出Von產生於電容C33之上。Similarly, in the operation mode under VinVop and heavy load (CCM), in the first operational phase P1, the switches SW1 and SW3 are turned on, and thus the inductor current IL rises. In the second operation phase P2, the switches SW1 and SWP are turned on, but the inductor current IL is flat, and the positive output Vop is generated above the capacitor C32. In the fourth operational phase P4, the switches SW3 and SWN are turned on, and thus the inductor current IL is lowered. In the fourth operational phase P4, the negative output Von is generated above the capacitor C33.

相似地,在Vin<Vop且重負載(CCM)下的操作模式,於第一操作時相P1下,開關SW1與SW3為導通,因而電感電流IL上升。在第二操作時相P2下,開關SW1與SWP為導通,但電感電流IL下降,而且,正輸出Vop產生於電容C32之上。在第四操作時相P4下,開關SW3與SWN導通,因此電感電流IL下降。在第四操作時相P4下,負輸出Von產生於電容C33之上。Similarly, in the operation mode under Vin < Vop and heavy load (CCM), in the first operational phase P1, the switches SW1 and SW3 are turned on, and thus the inductor current IL rises. In the second operation phase P2, the switches SW1 and SWP are turned on, but the inductor current IL is decreased, and the positive output Vop is generated above the capacitor C32. In the fourth operational phase P4, the switches SW3 and SWN are turned on, and thus the inductor current IL is lowered. In the fourth operational phase P4, the negative output Von is generated above the capacitor C33.

在Vin>Vop且輕負載(DCM)下的操作模式下的操作時相P1、P2與P4相似於Vin>Vop且重負載(CCM)下的操作模式下的操作時相P1、P2與P4。然而,在第四操作時相P4之後,電感電流IL接近0。在第五操作時相P5下,不對電感L31充磁,此可藉由將電感L31的至少一端浮接而達成,或者將電感L31的兩端彼此短路而達成。Operating phases P1, P2, and P4 in an operating mode at Vin>Vop and light load (DCM) are similar to operating phases P1, P2, and P4 in an operating mode at Vin>Vop and heavy load (CCM). However, after the fourth operational phase P4, the inductor current IL approaches zero. In the fifth operation phase P5, the inductance L31 is not magnetized, which can be achieved by floating at least one end of the inductor L31 or by short-circuiting both ends of the inductor L31.

在Vin<Vop且輕負載(DCM)下的操作模式下的操作時相P1、P2與P4相似於Vin<Vop且重負載(CCM)下的操作模式下的操作時相P1、P2與P4。然而,在第四操作時相P4之後,電感電流IL接近0。在第五操作時相P5下,不對電感L31充磁,此可藉由將電感L31的至少一端浮接而達成,或者將電感L31的兩端彼此短路而達成。The operating phases P1, P2, and P4 in the operating mode at Vin < Vop and light load (DCM) are similar to the operating phases P1, P2, and P4 in the operating mode at Vin < Vop and heavy load (CCM). However, after the fourth operational phase P4, the inductor current IL approaches zero. In the fifth operation phase P5, the inductance L31 is not magnetized, which can be achieved by floating at least one end of the inductor L31 or by short-circuiting both ends of the inductor L31.

因而,在本案實施例中,藉由回應於兩個回授信號(Vop_FB與Von_FB)以及電感電流IL,來控制所有開關SW1、SW2、SW3、SWP與SWN。Thus, in the present embodiment, all of the switches SW1, SW2, SW3, SWP, and SWN are controlled by responding to the two feedback signals (Vop_FB and Von_FB) and the inductor current IL.

在重負載(CCM)下,控制順序是P1、P2與P4,其中,第一操作時相P1開始於各時脈周期的開始,且結束於信號Cp的上升邊緣(亦即,Vsum接近VEAp);第二操作時相P2開始於第一操作時相P1的結束,且結束於信號Cn的上升邊緣(亦即,Vsum接近VEAn);以及,第四操作時相P4開始於第二操作時相P2的結束,且結束於下一時脈周期的開始。Under heavy load (CCM), the control sequence is P1, P2, and P4, wherein the first operational phase P1 begins at the beginning of each clock cycle and ends at the rising edge of signal Cp (ie, Vsum is close to VEAp). The second operational phase P2 begins at the end of the first operational phase P1 and ends at the rising edge of the signal Cn (ie, Vsum is close to VEAn); and, the fourth operational phase P4 begins at the second operational phase The end of P2 ends at the beginning of the next clock cycle.

在輕負載(DCM)下,控制順序是P1、P2、P4與P5,其中,第一操作時相P1開始於各時脈周期的開始,且結束於信號Cn的上升邊緣(亦即,Vsum接近VEAn);第二操作時相P2開始於第一操作時相P1的結束,且結束於信號Cpn的上升邊緣(亦即,Vsum接近VEApn);第四操作時相P4開始於第二操作時相P2的結束,且結束於電感電流IL放電至接近0;以及,第五操作時相P5開始於第四操作時相P4的結束,且結束於下一時脈周期的開始。Under light load (DCM), the control sequence is P1, P2, P4 and P5, wherein the first operational phase P1 begins at the beginning of each clock cycle and ends at the rising edge of signal Cn (ie, Vsum is close) VEAn); the second operational phase P2 begins at the end of the first operational phase P1 and ends at the rising edge of the signal Cpn (ie, Vsum is close to VEApn); the fourth operational phase P4 begins at the second operational phase The end of P2 ends and the inductor current IL is discharged to near 0; and, the fifth operational phase P5 begins at the end of the fourth operational phase P4 and ends at the beginning of the next clock cycle.

現將說明,輸入Vin由鋰電池所提供的例子,其中,輸入Vin的初始電壓是4.2V,而所需要的正輸出Vop是3.6V。開始時, 輸入Vin高於正輸出Vop,本案實施例的SIBO升降壓轉換器300操作於Vin>Vop且重負載(CCM)的操作模式下。接著,因為鋰電流提供電力給SIBO升降壓轉換器300,輸入電壓Vin(由鋰電池所輸出)逐漸變低。當輸入Vin逐漸變低至幾乎接近正輸出Vop時,本案實施例的SIBO升降壓轉換器300操作於Vin≈Vop且重負載(CCM)的操作模式下。當輸入Vin更逐漸變低而低於正輸出Vop時,本案實施例的SIBO升降壓轉換器300操作於Vin<Vop且重負載(CCM)的操作模式下。An example in which the input Vin is provided by a lithium battery, in which the initial voltage of the input Vin is 4.2 V, and the required positive output Vop is 3.6 V will now be described. Initially, the input Vin is higher than the positive output Vop, and the SIBO buck-boost converter 300 of the present embodiment operates in an operating mode of Vin>Vop and heavy load (CCM). Then, since the lithium current supplies power to the SIBO buck-boost converter 300, the input voltage Vin (output by the lithium battery) gradually becomes low. The SIBO buck-boost converter 300 of the present embodiment operates in a VinVop and heavy duty (CCM) mode of operation when the input Vin is gradually degraded to near the positive output Vop. The SIBO buck-boost converter 300 of the embodiment of the present invention operates in an operation mode of Vin < Vop and heavy load (CCM) when the input Vin is gradually lower and lower than the positive output Vop.

簡言之,本案實施例的SIBO升降壓轉換器300中,透過一個電感、複數個電容與複數個開關,可以產生兩個輸出電壓(正輸出Vop與負輸出Von)。In short, in the SIBO buck-boost converter 300 of the embodiment of the present invention, two output voltages (positive output Vop and negative output Von) can be generated by one inductor, a plurality of capacitors and a plurality of switches.

第6圖顯示本案實施例與習知兩級SIBO轉換器的能量轉換效率比較圖,此圖以Vop=2.8V為例。如第6圖所示,本案實施例的SIBO升降壓轉換器具有平滑且高能量轉換效率(幾乎介於85%-88%之間)。相較於習知兩級SIBO轉換器100的能量轉換效率 (介於55%-88%之間),本案實施例的SIBO升降壓轉換器能量轉換效率獲得顯著改良。Figure 6 shows a comparison of energy conversion efficiencies between the present embodiment and the conventional two-stage SIBO converter. This figure takes Vop = 2.8V as an example. As shown in Fig. 6, the SIBO buck-boost converter of the embodiment of the present invention has smooth and high energy conversion efficiency (almost between 85% and 88%). Compared to the energy conversion efficiency (between 55% and 88%) of the conventional two-stage SIBO converter 100, the energy conversion efficiency of the SIBO buck-boost converter of the present embodiment is significantly improved.
