Description

Reverse current prevention circuit capable of self-correcting reference benchmark
Technical field
The present invention especially about a kind of backward current preventing circuit that is used for synchronous switched voltage converter, can revise reference data so that prevent the generation of backward current exactly about a kind of backward current preventing circuit automatically.
Background technology
Fig. 1 (a) shows the circuit diagram of known synchronous switched voltage converter 10.Synchronous switched voltage converter 10 is with input voltage source V InConvert output voltage V to Out, and be supplied to load Ld.Side switch SH is coupled in input voltage source V InAnd between switching node SN, side switch SL then is coupled between switching node SN and ground potential.In the example shown in Fig. 1 (a), side switch SH is implemented side switch SL by the PMOS electric crystal and is then implemented by the NMOS crystal.Inductance L is coupled between switching node SN and output O.Control circuit 11 applies switch-over control signal CS to drive circuit 12, to produce upside drive signal PH and downside drive signal PL.The conducting and not conducting of upside drive signal PH decision side switch SH, and the conducting and not conducting of downside drive signal PL decision side switch SL.In response to output voltage V OutFeedback, control circuit 11 is adjusted the duty cycle (Duty Cycle) of switch-over control signal CS, to regulate output voltage V OutIn addition, output capacitance C oBe coupled in output O, so that to output voltage V OutCarry out filtering.
Fig. 1 (b) shows the operation waveform sequential chart of known synchronous switched voltage converter 10.Switch-over control signal CS is respectively via last side drive circuit 12H and following side drive circuit 12L and anti-phase formation upside drive signal PH and downside drive signal PL.In the stage of time T 1 to T2, upside drive signal PH and downside drive signal PL all are in low level, so side switch SH conducting and not conducting of side switch SL, make inductive current I LDirection flow to output O (this is defined as positive direction) by switching node SN and its absolute value increases gradually.In the stage of time T 2 to T4, upside drive signal PH and downside drive signal PL all are in high level, so side switch not conducting of SH and side switch SL conducting, make inductive current I LAbsolute value reduce gradually.Please note when time T 3 inductive current I LAbsolute value be reduced to zero, therefore from time T 3 to T4, inductive current I LDirection be reversed into by output O and flow to switching node SN (this is defined as negative direction).In the stage of time T 4 to T6, upside drive signal PH and downside drive signal PL all are in low level, so side switch SH conducting and not conducting of side switch SL.Owing to inductive current I this moment LDirection for negative, so inductive current I LAbsolute value reduce gradually.Up to from time T 5, inductive current I LDirection just just changing into and its absolute value increases gradually.
In Fig. 1 (b), the phenomenon of the region representation generation backward current of oblique line part.As inductive current I LDirection when flowing to switching node SN by output O, energy is by the reverse synchronous switched voltage converter 10 that is supplied to of external loading Ld.Because backward current causes the conversion efficiency of synchronous switched voltage converter 10 to reduce, so must manage to prevent the generation of backward current.
Fig. 2 (a) shows the circuit diagram of the backward current preventing circuit 23 of known first example.Backward current preventing circuit 23 has a current comparison circuit 24, a fixed reference current source I Ref, and together or gate 25.The non-inverting input of current comparison circuit 24 is in order to the receiving inductance electric current I L, and inverting input is in order to receive fixed reference current source I RefWith or one of gate 25 input in order to receiving switch-over control signal CS, and the anti-stop signal RI that exported in order to received current comparison circuit 24 of another input.Output same or gate 25 is coupled to down side drive circuit 12L, with decision downside drive signal PL.
Fig. 2 (b) shows the operation waveform sequential chart of the backward current preventing circuit 23 of known first example.Suppose fixed reference current source I RefBe set at zero.In the stage of time T 1 to T2, switch-over control signal CS is that high level and anti-stop signal RI are high level, makes upside drive signal PH and downside drive signal PL all be in low level.Therefore, side switch SH conducting and not conducting of side switch SL make inductive current I LDirection for just and its absolute value increase gradually.At time T 2 places, switch-over control signal CS is transformed into low level, makes upside drive signal PH and downside drive signal PL all be transformed into high level.Therefore, not conducting of side switch SH and side switch SL conducting make inductive current I LAbsolute value reduce gradually.At time T 3 places, because inductive current I LAbsolute value be decreased to zero, so prevent that stop signal RI changes low level into and causes downside drive signal PL to become low level.Therefore, side switch SL enters not on-state to prevent inductive current I LDirection take a turn for the worse.
Yet, because the actual operational speed of current comparison circuit 24 is limited, so inductive current I LAbsolute value be decreased to the time point that zero time point and anti-stop signal RI are applied to side switch SL, have a time of delay between the two.In other words, in this time of delay, inductive current I LDirection still can take a turn for the worse.The shortcoming that can't prevent backward current fully that causes time of delay is planted in the i.e. expression of oblique line part among Fig. 2 (b) thus.Moreover along with the variation of integrated circuit manufacture process itself and the variation of operating temperature, the service speed of current comparison circuit 24 also can change.As a result, be not a fixed value time of delay that current comparison circuit 24 is caused, thereby more difficultly eliminate this kind time of delay by fixing offset current (offset current) is set with expectation.
Fig. 3 (a) shows the circuit diagram of the backward current preventing circuit 33 of known second example.Backward current preventing circuit 33 has a voltage comparator circuit 34, a fixed voltage reference V Ref, and together or gate 35.The non-inverting input of voltage comparator circuit 34 is in order to receive the voltage V at switching node SN place SN, and inverting input is in order to receive fixed voltage reference V RefWith or an input of gate 35 in order to receiving switch-over control signal CS, and another input is in order to receive the anti-stop signal RV that voltage comparator circuit 34 is exported.Output same or gate 35 is coupled to down side drive circuit 12L, with decision downside drive signal PL.
Fig. 3 (b) shows the operation waveform sequential chart of the backward current preventing circuit 33 of known second example.Suppose fixed voltage reference V RefBe set at zero.In the stage of time T 1 to T2, switch-over control signal CS is that high level and anti-stop signal RV are high level, makes upside drive signal PH and downside drive signal PL all be in low level.Therefore, side switch SH conducting and not conducting of side switch SL make the voltage V at switching node SN place SNDraw high and become to equal input voltage source V InAt time T 2 places, switch-over control signal CS is transformed into low level, makes upside drive signal PH and downside drive signal PL all be transformed into high level.Therefore, not conducting of side switch SH and side switch SL conducting make inductive current I LFlow to inductance L and output O from ground potential (zero potential) via side switch SL, cause the voltage V at switching node SN place SNBecome negative polarity rapidly.Subsequently, because inductive current I LAbsolute value reduce the voltage V at switching node SN place gradually SNGradually towards ground potential (zero potential) convergence.At time T 3 places, because the voltage V at switching node SN place SNReached zero potential and changed into positive polarity,, made downside drive signal PL be transformed into low level so anti-stop signal RV changes high level into.Therefore, side switch SL enters not on-state to prevent inductive current I LDirection take a turn for the worse.
Yet, because the actual operational speed of voltage comparator circuit 34 is limited, so the voltage V at switching node SN place SNReach the time point that zero time point and anti-stop signal RV are applied to side switch SL, have a time of delay between the two.In other words, in this time of delay, inductive current I LDirection still can take a turn for the worse.The shortcoming that can't prevent backward current fully that causes time of delay is planted in the i.e. expression of oblique line part among Fig. 3 (b) thus.Moreover along with the variation of integrated circuit manufacture process itself and the variation of operating temperature, the service speed of voltage comparator circuit 34 also can change.As a result, be not a fixed value time of delay that voltage comparator circuit 34 is caused, thereby more difficultly eliminate this kind time of delay by fixing bucking voltage (offset voltage) is set with expectation.
