43 determine when disconnection inductor switch Q142.Flow through emitter resistance REThe electric current of 59 approximates and flows through primary inductor 39
Electric current ILP43.As primary inductor current ILP43 increase and flow out inductor switch Q142 emitter-base bandgap grading time, base signal
The base voltage V of 54BASEAlso increase.Base voltage VBASEEqual to emitter resistance REVoltage (the V at 59 two endsRE) bipolar plus NPN
Base-emitter offset voltage (the V of transistor 42BE).Therefore,
VBASE=VBE+VRE. (94)
In one embodiment, Base-emitter offset voltage VBEIt is about 0.7 volt.Therefore, primary inductor electric current ILP 43
Approximation as the following formula with emitter resistance REThe voltage drop V at 59 two endsRERelevant:
VRE=ILP·RE. (95)
Equation 95 does not considers the base current error of npn bipolar transistor 42.(actually VRE=(ILP+IBASE)·RE)。
By by combined for equation 94 and 95, by primary inductor electric current ILP43 are described as on the base pad 48 of controller IC 36
The base voltage V of the base signal 54 receivedBASEFunction:

It is represented by the function of total cycle time rather than the function of switching frequency.Total cycle time why can be used to replace switch lock
Rate, the switching frequency being because in critical conduction mode is the inverse of the total time of current ramp rising or ramp down.Therefore,
Output electric current IOUTCan be described as simplify equation:
IOUT=1/2 ILP·{1-TON/(TON+TOFF)}·(NP/NS)·η (99)
Wherein ILPIt is the peak point current flowing through primary inductor 39, TONAnd TOFFIt it is inductor switch Q142 connect on and off

When AC input line voltage is multiplied to 220V from 110V, turn-on time TONTo halve, simultaneously switch off time TOFFKeep constant, and
And therefore export electric current IOUTTo change according to equation 100.But when meeting following formula, export electric current IOUTWith input line voltage without
Close:
ILP·{1-TON/(TON+TOFF)=0.576V/ (RE+RVBE) (101)
Its middle term RVBECompensate when flowing through inductor switch Q142 curent change time base-emitter voltage change.Work as stream
Cross inductor switch Q1When the electric current of 42 increases, base-emitter voltage VBEIncrease.Such as, 220mA is increased to when electric current from 20mA
And when npn bipolar transistor 42 is used parts 13002, the change of base-emitter voltage is about 62mV, this can be by being about
The resistance R of 0.31 ΩVBECompensate.In the present embodiment, RVBEIt is empirically to be determined.Therefore, when being described as the following formula
Resistance R for emitter resistance 59EFunction time, output electric current just with input line voltage and RVBEChange unrelated:
IOUT=1/2 0.576V/ (RE+RVBE)·(NP/NS)·η (102)
Equation 102 is utilized to choose the resistance R of emitter resistance 59E, result is obtained by current detection voltage V during equation 100CS
Corresponding identical desired output electric current.
Constant current mode
In constant current mode, flow through emitter resistance REThe electric current of 59 increases, until current detection voltage VCSEqual to peak electricity
Restriction value VIPK.Then, error comparator 73 saltus step, and switching logic 74 utilize from error comparator 73 output pulse width
Degree signal produces " N-channel conducting " (NCHON) signal 103.The output of error comparator 73 is for entering the switch of transducer 35
Horizontal pulse frequency and width modulated (PFWM) control.Gate drivers 75 utilizes N-channel Continuity signal 103 to produce inductor switch
Control signal 67.Gate drivers 75 is the MOSFET gate drivers of high relative velocity.Inductor switch controls signal 67 quilt
(asserted) is set and closes main power switch Q268.From inductor switch Q1The base stage of 42 gives off electric current, and electricity
Sensor switch Q142 begin breaking.According to common inverse-excitation type action, when electric current stops running through primary inductor 39, transformation
The voltage at all inducer two ends of device 38 all inverts.Such as, the voltage on the band point end of secondary inductor 41 becomes negative value.Cause
The regeneration disconnection that electric current flows through caused by secondary inductor 41 and R/C network 60 can strengthen inductor switch Q1The disconnection of 42.Should
Drop-down inductor switch Q of electric current1The base stage of 42, so that inductor switch Q142 disconnect rapidly.
Inductor switch Q142 remain open, until all energy being stored in primary inductor 39 are all delivered to secondary
Level inducer 40 and from transducer 35 export till.When electric current is no longer flow through arbitrary inducer, the voltage at inducer two ends
Moment (T in the diagram4) begin to decline zero.Feedback signal detector 72 detects when the negative feedback voltage of feedback signal 47
VFBAt T4Moment starts to collapse and anti-phase.T is detected at feedback signal detector 724During the moment, inductor switch controls signal
67 at T5Moment Guan Bi main power switch Q268.Flow through starting resistance RSTARTThe input current of 58 starts in inductor switch Q1
Gather in the base stage of 42, and positive Regenerative feedback is at T6Moment connects inductor switch Q142, and start new circulation.Connect
With disconnection inductor switch Q1The positive Regenerative feedback of 42 and regeneration disconnection make transducer 35 self-oscillation.
Automatic zero set circuit 71 produces current detection voltage VCS, error comparator 73 is by itself and error voltage VERRORCarry out
Relatively.Automatic zero set circuit 71 utilizes zeroing capacitor CZ90 from base voltage VBASEIn deduct Base-emitter offset voltage
VBE.In inductor switch Q1During 42 disconnection, inductor switch Q1Voltage V in the base stage of 42BASE(being indicated by base signal 54)
It is grounded.Additionally, when inductor switch Q1During 42 disconnection, the 4th switch S491 Guan Bis, thus will zeroing capacitor CZ90 couplings
Receive diode (D5)92.Diode (D5) 92 be chosen and inductor switch Q1The Base-emitter offset voltage V of 42BETool
There is identical voltage drop.Therefore, in inductor switch Q142 connect and the 4th switch S4After 91 open, return to zero capacitor CZ
Voltage on two pole plates of 90 is the V of a timesBE.Feedback signal detector 72 detect feedback signal 47 the most anti-phase and become
Height, this shows inductor switch Q142 are connecting and base voltage VBASEFrom the V of a timesBERamp up.At inductance
Device switch Q142 when being initially turned on, and feedback signal detector 72 opens the 4th switch S491, so that current detection signal VCS 46
Start from zero volt rather than from the V of a timesBERamp up.Therefore, when current detection signal 46 is first begin to tiltedly become, by base
Pole-emitter-base bandgap grading offset voltage VBEZero setting.Due to Base-emitter offset voltage VBEWith flowing through inductor switch Q1The increasing of the electric current of 42
Increase greatly, thereby through adjusting the voltage V corresponding to peak point current limit valueIPKCompensate Base-emitter offset voltage VBEWith electricity

Wherein K is Boltzmann constant (Boltzmann ' s constant), and T is absolute temperature, and q is electron charge, I1
It is primary current, and I2It it is the electric current after change.
Constant voltage mode
In constant voltage mode, due to error voltage VERRORLess than the voltage V corresponding with peak point current limit valueIPK, thus by mistake
Difference comparator 73 is by current detection voltage VCSError voltage V with error signal 98ERRORCompare.When inductor switch Q1 42
During disconnection, the negative feedback voltage V of feedback signal 47FBInstruction output voltage VOUT.Voltage on the band point end of secondary inductor 41
VAUXBe secondary inductor 40 without the voltage V on an endSIt is multiplied by turn ratio NA/NSThe opposite number of result.Voltage VSIt is equal to
Output voltage VOUTPlus secondary side rectifier diode D144 both end voltage fall VD1.Therefore,
VAUX=-(VOUT+VD1)·NA/NS. (105)
Therefore, the feedback voltage V on feedback pad 49FBIt is represented by:
VFB=-(VOUT+VD1)·NA/NS·R2/(R1+R2). (106)
In constant voltage mode, controller IC 36 is by feedback voltage VFBAbsolute value be adjusted to equal to line-voltage regulator

Switched-capacitor circuit 70 is for making feedback condenser (C when transducer 35 is adjusted and runningFB) 86 with phase
Anti-but equal electric charge.Line-voltage regulator 83 is accurate shunt regulator reference, for higher than 3.45V ± 2%
The reference voltage time-division pour off excess electric current.Such as, line-voltage regulator D383 is accurate shunt regulator.Work as inductance
Device switch Q1During 42 connection, the voltage of feedback signal 47 is high, and when line-voltage regulator is released from feedback signal 47

All elements of controller IC 35 are by power capacitor CP82 power supplies.For simplicity's sake, the most only illustrate
Power line towards error amplifier 79.
When inductor switch Q1During 42 connection, second switch (S2) 88 and the 3rd switch (S3) 89 all close, and first
Switch (S1) 87 open.Therefore, at feedback condenser CFBWith the reference voltage of 3.45 volts on the top crown of 86.From capacitor

Switch Q1Before 42 i.e. will be switched off, switched-capacitor circuit 70 is by opening second switch (S2) 88 and the 3rd switch (S3) 89 also
Guan Bi the first switch (S1) 87 detect by the output voltage V indicated by equation 106OUT.It is adjusted running at transducer 35
Time, this makes feedback condenser CFBThe bottom crown of 86 is with negative feedback voltage VFB, and the voltage on top crown is pulled down to zero volt.
Therefore, as negative feedback voltage VFBIn turn-off time due to auxiliary winding 41 finite resistance and during towards zero volt slow-decay,

Ground signalling and zero Volt signal amplify through preamplifier 77, and switching transients amount is filtered through traffic filter 78
Remove.Error amplifier 79 by ground signalling compared with the zero volt on top crown, and when transducer 35 is adjusted
Find that the two is equal.When transducer 35 is adjusted, error voltage VERRORDo not change, and by error comparator
The turn-on time that the pulse width signal of 73 outputs is dominated does not changes.Error amplifier 79 is trsanscondutance amplifier, because
It receives input voltage difference and exports the electric current being directly proportional to this difference.Error amplifier 79 output error signal 98, wherein
Flow to the electric current on capacitor 85 and produce error voltage VERROR。
When transducer 35 runs and is exporting too high voltage on regulation, VAUXAnd feedback voltage VFBNegative
It is worth the most excessive.Therefore, feedback condenser CFBThe top crown of 86 is pulled to below earth potential.Error amplifier 79 output diminishes
Error voltage VERROR, the tiltedly current detection signal V of changeCS46 can reach this voltage quickly.From error comparator 73 output
Pulse width signal produces the inductor switch controls signal with shorter turn-on time.Owing to turn-on time shortens, by just
The peak point current that level inducer 39 ramps up reduces, and the energy being delivered to primary side reduces.Therefore, output voltage drop
Low, in order to enter adjustment state.
In constant voltage mode, DC flexible cord compensates circuit 80 and provides output flexible cord resnstance transformer automatically.The most usual
The output flexible cord correction of about 3% increases in error signal 98.DC flexible cord compensates and can compensate for being caused by the resistance of output flexible cord
Output voltage drop, thus improve the degree of accuracy of output voltage.

Fig. 6 is the time dependent figure of peak point current flowing through secondary inductor 40 in constant current mode and constant voltage mode.
Each peak value is all similar to the electric current that flyback converter 35 exports in a switch periods.Such as, normally filling at battery
In electricity order, charging process starts in cycle #1 with constant current mode and enters constant voltage mode in cycle #9.Start at battery
Incipient stage during charging, the pack heaviest of transducer 35.This load pulls the electric current more than predetermined output current limit, and
Transducer 35 is limit value output electric current in constant current mode.Carrying out and the reduction of load, flyback converter along with battery charging

The logical time reduces.Electric current flows through primary inductor 39 and ramps up a relatively short period of time cycle.Electric current flows out secondary inductor
Turn-off time during 40 also shortens.Owing to transducer 35 is free-running, thus turn-on time is total plus being equal to turn-off time
Circulation time, and switching frequency increase, to prevent output voltage from exceeding set maximum.When battery is fully charged,
Load reduces and switching frequency becomes more and more higher, to prevent output voltage from exceeding regulation voltage.
But, under the highest switching frequency, along with switching loss rises, the efficiency of flyback converter reduces.For
Keeping high efficiency when to light load charging, switching logic 74 produces the N-channel Continuity signal with minimum turn-off time
103.Even as electric current ISWhen stopping running through secondary inductor 40, main power switch Q268 turn-off times also staying open minimum
And do not allow inductor switch Q142 connect.As electric current ISDischarge time when becoming shorter than minimum turn-off time, inverse-excitation type
Transducer 35 becomes discontinuous conduction mode from critical conduction mode.This change between Fig. 7 graphic extension point #16 and #17.One
In individual embodiment, this minimum turn-off time is 10 microseconds, and this is corresponding to making primary inductor electric current ILP43 tiltedly change to peak point current
