Description
技术领域 technical field
本发明涉及一种电源转换器,具体地说,是一种改善切换损失以及正确切换模式的升降压式电源转换器及其控制方法。The invention relates to a power converter, in particular to a buck-boost power converter with improved switching loss and correct switching mode and its control method.
背景技术 Background technique
图1显示已知的升降压式电源转换器10,其包括功率级1 2及控制电路1 4。在功率级12中,开关SW1连接在输入电压Vin及电感L之间,开关SW2连接在电感L及接地端GND之间,开关SW3连接在电感L及接地端GND之间,开关SW4连接在电感L及输出电压Vout之间。电阻R1及R2分压输出电压Vout产生回授信号VFB,在控制电路14中,误差放大器24根据回授信号VFB及参考电压Vref产生误差信号VEA,锯齿波产生器22提供两个锯齿波信号SAW1及SAW2,比较器18比较误差信号VEA及锯齿波信号SAW1产生信号PWM1,比较器20比较误差信号VEA及锯齿波信号SAW2产生信号PWM2,控制逻辑电路16根据信号PWM1及PWM2产生信号VA、VB、VC及VD分别切换开关SW1、SW2、SW3及SW4以将输入电压Vin转为输出电压Vout。当误差信号VEA只切到锯齿波信号SAW1或SAW2时,电源转换器10操作在降压模式或升压模式,当误差信号VEA切到两个锯齿波信号SAW1或SAW2时,电源转换器10操作在升降压模式。然而,事实上,锯齿波信号SAW1及SAW2的波形在峰值与谷值并非理想线性,因此,在输入电压Vin接近输出电压Vout时,也就是信号PWM1或PWM2的责任周期比(duty ratio)接近100%时,将因非线性问题使得输出电压Vout的涟波变大。FIG. 1 shows a known buck-boost power converter 10, which includes a power stage 12 and a control circuit 14. In the power stage 12, the switch SW1 is connected between the input voltage Vin and the inductor L, the switch SW2 is connected between the inductor L and the ground terminal GND, the switch SW3 is connected between the inductor L and the ground terminal GND, and the switch SW4 is connected between the inductor L and the ground terminal GND. Between L and the output voltage Vout. Resistors R1 and R2 divide the output voltage Vout to generate a feedback signal VFB. In the control circuit 14, the error amplifier 24 generates an error signal VEA according to the feedback signal VFB and the reference voltage Vref. The sawtooth wave generator 22 provides two sawtooth wave signals SAW1 and SAW2, the comparator 18 compares the error signal VEA and the sawtooth signal SAW1 to generate the signal PWM1, the comparator 20 compares the error signal VEA and the sawtooth signal SAW2 to generate the signal PWM2, and the control logic circuit 16 generates the signals VA, VB, VC and VD respectively switch switches SW1 , SW2 , SW3 and SW4 to convert the input voltage Vin to the output voltage Vout. When the error signal VEA only cuts to the sawtooth signal SAW1 or SAW2, the power converter 10 operates in the step-down mode or the boost mode, and when the error signal VEA cuts to the two sawtooth signals SAW1 or SAW2, the power converter 10 operates in buck-boost mode. However, in fact, the waveforms of the sawtooth signals SAW1 and SAW2 are not ideally linear at peak and valley values. Therefore, when the input voltage Vin is close to the output voltage Vout, that is, the duty ratio of the signal PWM1 or PWM2 is close to 100. %, the ripple of the output voltage Vout will become larger due to nonlinear problems.
Chen等人在美国专利号第7,176,667号中提出一种升降压式电源转换器,其在升降压模式时,利用一个锯齿波信号及误差信号切出所需要的降压或升压的责任周期,并在所述责任周期之内插入一个固定的升压或降压责任周期。然而,不论是图1或Chen等人所提出的电源转换器,在升降压模式时,开关的切换循环为(1)打开(turn on)开关SW2及SW4并关闭(turn off)开关SW1及SW3,(2)打开开关SW1及SW4并关闭开关SW2及SW3,(3)打开开关SW1及SW3并关闭开关SW2及SW4,(4)打开开关SW1及SW4并关闭开关SW2及SW3,由于在每一周期中开关切换的次数较多,故切换损失(switching loss)也较大。Chen et al. proposed a buck-boost power converter in U.S. Patent No. 7,176,667. In the buck-boost mode, a sawtooth signal and an error signal are used to cut out the required buck or boost duty cycle. , and insert a fixed boost or buck duty cycle within the duty cycle. However, regardless of the power converter proposed by FIG. 1 or Chen et al., in the buck-boost mode, the switch switching cycle is (1) turn on (turn on) switches SW2 and SW4 and turn off (turn off) switches SW1 and SW3, (2) open switches SW1 and SW4 and close switches SW2 and SW3, (3) open switches SW1 and SW3 and close switches SW2 and SW4, (4) open switches SW1 and SW4 and close switches SW2 and SW3, because in each The number of switch switching in one cycle is more, so the switching loss (switching loss) is also larger.
因此已知的升降压式电源转换器存在着上述种种不便和问题。Therefore, the known buck-boost power converters have the above-mentioned inconveniences and problems.

以下结合实施例及其附图对本发明作更进一步说明。The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with embodiment and accompanying drawing.
现请参阅图2,图2显示本发明的第一实施例。如图所示,所述在升降压式电源转换器30中,控制电路34输出控制信号VA、VB、VC及VD驱动功率级32,以将输入电压Vin转换为输出电压Vout,电阻R1及R2分压输出电压Vout产生回授信号VFB给控制电路34。在功率级32中,开关SW1连接在输入电压Vin及电感L之间,开关SW2连接在电感L及接地端GND之间,开关SW3连接在电感L及接地端GND之间,开关SW4连接在电感L及输出电压Vout之间。由于整个系统的责任周期不仅与输入电压和输出电压有关,负载电流也会影响责任周期的大小,因此模式的切换点也必须将负载电流的因素考虑进去。在控制电路34中,模式检测器38检测输入电压Vin、输出电压Vout以及负载电流Iload产生模式选择信号S[3:0]以决定电源转换器30的操作模式,误差放大器46根据参考电压Vref及回授信号VFB产生误差信号VEA,频率产生器48提供频率Clk_boost及Clk_buck,频率Clk_boost及Clk_buck具有固定的周期Ts以及固定的责任周期,锯齿波产生器44根据频率Clk_boost及模式选择信号S[3:0]提供锯齿波信号SAW12及SAW34,比较器40比较误差信号VEA及锯齿波信号SAW12产生信号PWM1,比较器42比较误差信号VEA及锯齿波信号SAW34产生信号PWM2,控制逻辑电路36根据信号PWM1及PWM2、模式选择信号S[3:0]以及频率Clk_boost及Clk_buck产生控制信号VA、VB、VC及VD切换开关SW1、SW2、SW3及SW4以将输入电压Vin转换为输出电压Vout。Please refer now to FIG. 2, which shows a first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, in the buck-boost power converter 30, the control circuit 34 outputs control signals VA, VB, VC and VD to drive the power stage 32 to convert the input voltage Vin into the output voltage Vout, and the resistors R1 and R2 divides the output voltage Vout to generate a feedback signal VFB to the control circuit 34 . In the power stage 32, the switch SW1 is connected between the input voltage Vin and the inductor L, the switch SW2 is connected between the inductor L and the ground terminal GND, the switch SW3 is connected between the inductor L and the ground terminal GND, and the switch SW4 is connected between the inductor L and the ground terminal GND. Between L and the output voltage Vout. Since the duty cycle of the entire system is not only related to the input voltage and output voltage, but also the load current will affect the size of the duty cycle, the switching point of the mode must also take the factor of the load current into consideration. In the control circuit 34, the mode detector 38 detects the input voltage Vin, the output voltage Vout and the load current Iload to generate the mode selection signal S[3:0] to determine the operation mode of the power converter 30, and the error amplifier 46 according to the reference voltage Vref and The feedback signal VFB generates an error signal VEA, and the frequency generator 48 provides frequencies Clk_boost and Clk_buck. The frequencies Clk_boost and Clk_buck have a fixed cycle Ts and a fixed duty cycle. The sawtooth wave generator 44 selects the signal S[3: 0] provide sawtooth signal SAW12 and SAW34, comparator 40 compares error signal VEA and sawtooth signal SAW12 to generate signal PWM1, comparator 42 compares error signal VEA and sawtooth signal SAW34 to generate signal PWM2, control logic circuit 36 according to signal PWM1 and PWM2 , mode selection signal S[3:0] and frequencies Clk_boost and Clk_buck generate control signals VA, VB, VC and VD to switch switches SW1 , SW2 , SW3 and SW4 to convert the input voltage Vin to the output voltage Vout.
所述电源转换器30可以操作在四种模式,当输入电压Vin、输出电压Vout与负载电流Iload所决定出的电感两端的倍率值小于第一临界值时,电源转换器30操作在第一模式。图3显示电源转换器30操作在第一模式时的信号波形,其中波形50为锯齿波信号SAW12,波形52为误差信号VEA,波形54为信号PWM1,波形56为频率Clk_buck,波形58为频率Clk_boost,波形60为控制信号VA,波形62为控制信号VB,波形64为控制信号VC,波形66为控制信号VD。图4显示电源转换器30操作在第一模式时电感L上电感电流IL与开关顺序。第一模式为单纯的降压模式,在时间t1至t2,控制信号VA、VB、VC及VD均为低准位,如波形60、62、64及66所示,由于开关SW1及SW4为PMOS而开关SW2及SW3为NMOS,故开关SW1及SW4打开(turn on)而开关SW2及SW3关闭(turn off),这段时间定义为tAD1,在时间tAD1中,输入电压Vin对电感L充电使得电感电流IL上升,如图4所示。在时间t2至t3,控制信号VA及VB为高准位而控制信号VC及VD为低准位,故开关SW2及SW4打开而开关SW1及SW3关闭,这时间定义为tBD1,在时间tBD1中,电感L放电使得电感电流IL下降。在第一模式中,开关SW1及SW2的切换周期以及电感电流IL的周期均为Ts,降压责任周期比Kbuck1为开关SW1的责任周期比。The power converter 30 can operate in four modes. When the multiplier value at both ends of the inductance determined by the input voltage Vin, the output voltage Vout and the load current Iload is smaller than a first critical value, the power converter 30 operates in the first mode. . 3 shows signal waveforms when the power converter 30 operates in the first mode, wherein the waveform 50 is the sawtooth signal SAW12, the waveform 52 is the error signal VEA, the waveform 54 is the signal PWM1, the waveform 56 is the frequency Clk_buck, and the waveform 58 is the frequency Clk_boost , the waveform 60 is the control signal VA, the waveform 62 is the control signal VB, the waveform 64 is the control signal VC, and the waveform 66 is the control signal VD. FIG. 4 shows the inductor current IL on the inductor L and the switching sequence when the power converter 30 operates in the first mode. The first mode is a simple step-down mode. From time t1 to t2, the control signals VA, VB, VC and VD are all at low level, as shown in waveforms 60, 62, 64 and 66. Since the switches SW1 and SW4 are PMOS The switches SW2 and SW3 are NMOS, so the switches SW1 and SW4 are turned on (turn on) and the switches SW2 and SW3 are turned off (turn off). This period of time is defined as tAD1. During the time tAD1, the input voltage Vin charges the inductor L so that the inductor L The current IL rises, as shown in Figure 4. From time t2 to t3, the control signals VA and VB are at the high level and the control signals VC and VD are at the low level, so the switches SW2 and SW4 are turned on and the switches SW1 and SW3 are turned off. This time is defined as tBD1. In the time tBD1, The discharge of the inductor L causes the inductor current IL to drop. In the first mode, the switching period of the switches SW1 and SW2 and the period of the inductor current IL are both Ts, and the buck duty cycle ratio Kbuck1 is the duty cycle ratio of the switch SW1.
当输入电压Vin、输出电压Vout与负载电流Iload所决定出的电感两端的倍率值大于第一临界值且小于1时,电源转换器30操作在第二模式。图5显示电源转换器30操作在第二模式时的信号波形,其中波形68为锯齿波信号SAW12,波形70为误差信号VEA,波形72为信号PWM1,波形74为频率Clk_buck,波形76为频率Clk_boost,波形78为控制信号VA,波形80为控制信号VB,波形82为控制信号VC,波形84为控制信号VD。图6显示电源转换器30操作在第二模式时电感电流IL与开关顺序。第二模式为升降压模式,在时间t4至t5,控制信号VA及VB为高准位而控制信号VC及VD为低准位,故开关SW1及SW3关闭而开关SW2及SW4打开,这段时间定义为tBD2,在时间t5至t6,控制信号VA、VB、VC及VD均为低准位,故开关SW1及SW4打开而开关SW2及SW3关闭,这段时间定义为tAD2,在时间t6至t7,控制信号A及B为低准位而控制信号C及D为高准位,故开关SW1及SW3打开而开关SW2及SW4关闭,这段时间定义为tAC1。在第二模式中,开关SW1、SW2、SW3及SW4的切换周期以及电感电流IL的周期均为2Ts。参照图6,电感电流IL的每一周期包括降压及升压操作,在第二模式中,开关SW3及SW4的责任周期由频率Clk_boost决定,故开关SW3及SW4具有固定的责任周期,因此,在升压操作期间的升压责任周期比Kboost1固定,藉由调整在降压操作期间的降压责任周期比Kbuck2可以让输出电压Vout稳定。When the multiplier value at both ends of the inductor determined by the input voltage Vin, the output voltage Vout and the load current Iload is greater than the first critical value and less than 1, the power converter 30 operates in the second mode. 5 shows signal waveforms when the power converter 30 operates in the second mode, wherein the waveform 68 is the sawtooth signal SAW12, the waveform 70 is the error signal VEA, the waveform 72 is the signal PWM1, the waveform 74 is the frequency Clk_buck, and the waveform 76 is the frequency Clk_boost , the waveform 78 is the control signal VA, the waveform 80 is the control signal VB, the waveform 82 is the control signal VC, and the waveform 84 is the control signal VD. FIG. 6 shows the inductor current IL and the switching sequence when the power converter 30 operates in the second mode. The second mode is the buck-boost mode. From time t4 to t5, the control signals VA and VB are high level and the control signals VC and VD are low level, so the switches SW1 and SW3 are closed and the switches SW2 and SW4 are open. The time is defined as tBD2. From time t5 to t6, the control signals VA, VB, VC and VD are all at low level, so the switches SW1 and SW4 are turned on and the switches SW2 and SW3 are turned off. This time is defined as tAD2. From time t6 to t7, the control signals A and B are at low level and the control signals C and D are at high level, so the switches SW1 and SW3 are turned on and the switches SW2 and SW4 are turned off. This period is defined as tAC1. In the second mode, the switching period of the switches SW1 , SW2 , SW3 and SW4 and the period of the inductor current IL are both 2Ts. Referring to FIG. 6, each cycle of the inductor current IL includes step-down and boost operations. In the second mode, the duty cycle of the switches SW3 and SW4 is determined by the frequency Clk_boost, so the switches SW3 and SW4 have a fixed duty cycle. Therefore, The boost duty cycle ratio Kboost1 during the boost operation is fixed, and the output voltage Vout can be stabilized by adjusting the buck duty cycle ratio Kbuck2 during the buck operation.
当输入电压Vin、输出电压Vout与负载电流Iload所决定出的电感两端的倍率值小于第二临界值且大于1时,电源转换器30操作在第三模式。图7显示电源转换器30操作在第三模式时的信号波形,其中波形86为锯齿波信号SAW34,波形88为误差信号VEA,波形90为信号PWM2,波形92为频率Clk_buck,波形94为频率Clk_boost,波形96为控制信号VA,波形98为控制信号VB,波形100为控制信号VC,波形102为控制信号VD。图8显示电源转换器30操作在第三模式时电感电流IL与开关顺序。第三模式为升降压模式,在时间t8至t9,控制信号VA及VB为高准位而控制信号VC及VD为低准位,故开关SW1及SW3关闭而开关SW2及SW4打开,这段时间定义为tBD3,在时间t9至t10,控制信号VA、VB、VC及VD均为低准位,故开关SW1及SW4打开而开关SW2及SW3关闭,这段时间定义为tAD3,在时间t10至t11,控制信号A及B为低准位而控制信号C及D为高准位,故开关SW1及SW3打开而开关SW2及SW4关闭,这段时间定义为tAC2。在第三模式中,开关SW1、SW2、SW3及SW4的切换周期以及电感电流IL的周期均为2Ts。参照图8,电感电流IL的每一周期包括降压及升压操作,在第三模式中,开关SW1及SW2的责任周期由频率Clk_buck决定,故开关SW1及SW2的责任周期固定,因此,在降压操作期间的降压责任周期比Kbuck3固定,藉由调整在升压操作期间的升压责任周期比Kboost2可以让输出电压Vout稳定。When the multiplier value at both ends of the inductance determined by the input voltage Vin, the output voltage Vout and the load current Iload is smaller than the second critical value and larger than 1, the power converter 30 operates in the third mode. 7 shows signal waveforms when the power converter 30 operates in the third mode, wherein the waveform 86 is the sawtooth signal SAW34, the waveform 88 is the error signal VEA, the waveform 90 is the signal PWM2, the waveform 92 is the frequency Clk_buck, and the waveform 94 is the frequency Clk_boost , the waveform 96 is the control signal VA, the waveform 98 is the control signal VB, the waveform 100 is the control signal VC, and the waveform 102 is the control signal VD. FIG. 8 shows the inductor current IL and the switching sequence when the power converter 30 operates in the third mode. The third mode is the buck-boost mode.

The time is defined as tBD3. From time t9 to t10, the control signals VA, VB, VC and VD are all at low level, so the switches SW1 and SW4 are turned on and the switches SW2 and SW3 are turned off. This time is defined as tAD3. From time t10 to t11, the control signals A and B are at low level and the control signals C and D are at high level, so the switches SW1 and SW3 are turned on and the switches SW2 and SW4 are turned off.

FIG. 10 shows the inductor current IL and the switching sequence when the power converter 30 operates in the fourth mode. The fourth mode is a simple boost mode. From time t12 to t13, the control signals VA and VB are at low level and the control signals VC and VD are at high level, so the switches SW1 and SW3 are turned on and the switches SW2 and SW4 are turned off. A period of time is defined as tAC3. From time t13 to t14, the control signals VA, VB, VC, and VD are all at low levels, so switches SW1 and SW4 are turned on and switches SW2 and SW3 are turned off. This period is defined as tAD4.

Compared with the prior art, in the cycle of the same time, the switching times of the power converter 30 are less, and when the operation mode of the power converter 30 is changed from step-down When the mode or boost mode enters the buck-boost mode, the switching period of the switch will be extended from Ts to 2Ts, so the switching loss can be reduced. Furthermore, the new switching sequence can extend the duration of the connection between the inductor L and the output terminal Vout of the power converter 30 , thereby reducing the conduction loss.
利用伏秒平衡(voltage second balance)原理可以推导出在四种模式下电源转换器30的输入电压Vin、输出电压Vout与负载电流Iload之间的关系。参照图4,假设每一开关SW1、SW2、SW3及SW4上的跨压都为Vsw,当转换器操作在第一模式时,输入电压Vin、输出电压Vout以及开关之跨压Vsw之间的关系为The relationship between the input voltage Vin, the output voltage Vout and the load current Iload of the power converter 30 in the four modes can be deduced by using the principle of voltage second balance.

Vin-2Vsw/(tAD1/Ts)=Vout/(tAD1/Ts) 公式1Vin-2Vsw/(tAD1/Ts)=Vout/(tAD1/Ts) Formula 1
参照图6,在第二模式时,输入电压Vin、输出电压Vout以及开关之跨压Vsw之间的关系为Referring to FIG. 6, in the second mode, the relationship between the input voltage Vin, the output voltage Vout and the switch voltage Vsw is
Vin-4Vsw/(Ts+tAD2_1)Vin-4Vsw/(Ts+tAD2_1)
=Vout[(Ts+tAD2_2)/(Ts+tAD2_1)]=Vout[(Ts+tAD2_2)/(Ts+tAD2_1)]
=Vout[(2-Kboost1)Ts/(Ts+tAD2_1)] 公式2=Vout[(2-Kboost1)Ts/(Ts+tAD2_1)] Formula 2

=Vout[(Ts+tAD3_2)/(Ts+tAD3_1)]=Vout[(Ts+tAD3_2)/(Ts+tAD3_1)]
=Vout[(Ts+tAD3_2)/(1+Kbuck3)Ts] 公式3=Vout[(Ts+tAD3_2)/(1+Kbuck3)Ts] Formula 3
参照图10,在第四模式时,输入电压Vin、输出电压Vout以及开关之跨压Vsw之间的关系为Referring to FIG. 10 , in the fourth mode, the relationship between the input voltage Vin, the output voltage Vout and the switch voltage Vsw is
Vin-2Vsw=Vout(1-tAC3/Ts) 公式4Vin-2Vsw=Vout(1-tAC3/Ts) Formula 4
为了防止锯齿波信号SAW12及SAW34的非线性问题使得输出电压Vout无法稳定,故限定降压的最大责任周期及升压的最小责任周期分别为K1及K2,以使输入电压Vin在接近或等于输出电压Vout时,能让输出电压Vout稳定。图11显示电源转换器30的模式转换图,从公式1至公式4及所设定的临界值K1及K2可以得到电源转换器30的模式转换。当电源转换器30操作在第一模式时,参照图11,若输入电压Vin持续下降使得电感L两端的倍率值等于临界值A1时,电源转换器30切换至第二模式。当电源转换器30操作在第二模式时,参照图11,若输入电压Vin持续下降使得电感L两端的倍率值等于临界值A2时,电源转换器30切换至第三模式。当电源转换器30操作在第三模式时,参照图11,若输入电压Vin持续下降使得电感L两端的倍率值等于临界值A3时,电源转换器30切换至第四模式。当电源转换器30操作在第四模式时,参照图11及公式4,若输入电压Vin持续上升使得电感L两端的倍率值等于临界值A3时,电源转换器30切换至第三模式。当电源转换器30操作在第三模式时,若输入电压Vin持续上升使得电感L两端的倍率值等于临界值A2时,电源转换器30切换至第二模式。当电源转换器30操作在第二模式时,若输入电压Vin持续上升,使得电感两端L的倍率值等于临界值A1时电源转换器30切换至第一模式。In order to prevent the non-linear problem of the sawtooth signal SAW12 and SAW34 from causing the output voltage Vout to be unstable, the maximum duty cycle of the step-down and the minimum duty cycle of the boost are limited to K1 and K2 respectively, so that the input voltage Vin is close to or equal to the output voltage. When the voltage Vout is lower, the output voltage Vout can be stabilized. FIG. 11 shows a mode conversion diagram of the power converter 30 .

When the power converter 30 is operating in the second mode, referring to FIG. 11 , if the input voltage Vin continues to drop such that the multiplier value across the inductor L is equal to the threshold value A2, the power converter 30 switches to the third mode. When the power converter 30 is operating in the third mode, referring to FIG. 11 , if the input voltage Vin continues to drop such that the multiplication value across the inductor L is equal to the critical value A3, the power converter 30 switches to the fourth mode.

图16显示模式检测器38的实施例,在模式检测器38中,当开关SW1打开时,开关MP1也同时打开,因此电压Vb为(Vin-Vsw-Ib×R3),其中电压Vsw与负载电流Iload成正比,运算放大器3804将电压Vb及Va锁在同一准位上,因此流过电阻R4的电流Ia为(Ib+Vsw/R4),设计电流源3802及3806相等,使得流经电阻R5的电流Ic为(Vsw/R4),因此可推得电压Figure 16 shows an embodiment of the mode detector 38. In the mode detector 38, when the switch SW1 is opened, the switch MP1 is also opened at the same time, so the voltage Vb is (Vin-Vsw-Ib×R3), where the voltage Vsw is related to the load current Iload is proportional, and the operational amplifier 3804 locks the voltages Vb and Va at the same level, so the current Ia flowing through the resistor R4 is (Ib+Vsw/R4), and the designed current sources 3802 and 3806 are equal, so that the current Ia flowing through the resistor R5 The current Ic is (Vsw/R4), so the voltage can be pushed
