Description

Power supply changeover device and error amplifier
[technical field]
The present invention relates to circuit field, particularly relate to a kind of power supply changeover device and error amplifier.
[background technology]
Power supply changeover device is widely used in the various portable electric appts, and the DC/DC transducer that boosts (boostDC/DC converter) is wherein a kind of.
Fig. 1 is a kind of circuit diagram of the DC/DC transducer that boosts.Please refer to shown in Figure 1ly, the said DC/DC of boosting transducer 100 includes the output circuit 110 that boosts, voltage feedback circuit 120, error amplifier 130, pulse-width modulation comparator 140 and logic control circuit 150.
The said output circuit 110 that boosts comprises inductance L, diode D, nmos pass transistor MN1 and capacitor C out; One end of inductance L connects input voltage vin; The other end links to each other with the anode of diode D; The negative electrode of diode D links to each other with the end of capacitor C out; The intermediate node voltage of diode D and capacitor C out is as output voltage V out, and the grid of said nmos pass transistor MN1 is as the pulse-width signal of the control end RL control circuit 150 of the output circuit 110 that boosts, and the drain electrode of said NMOS pipe MN1 links to each other with the intermediate node of inductance L and diode; The source electrode of said NMOS pipe MN1 and the other end of capacitor C link to each other with ground, and said transistor MN1 is a power switch pipe.Said voltage feedback circuit 120 comprises resistance R 1 and the R2 that is connected between output voltage and the ground, and said resistance R 1 has been formed a bleeder circuit with R2, thereby the said output voltage V out that samples is to obtain feedback voltage Vfb.Said error amplifier 130 is used for reference voltage Vref and feedback voltage Vfb are carried out the error amplification with output error amplifying signal EAO.Said pulse-width modulation comparator 140 is used for error amplification signal EAO and triangular signal Ramp are compared to generate pulse-width signal PWMO.Said logic control circuit 150 is used for pulse-width signal PWMO is carried out logic control; And go to control conducting and the shutoff of said power switch MN1 with the pulse-width signal NPWM after the logic control, said logic control comprises control logics such as maximum duty cycle and minimum duty cycle are set.
After setting reference voltage Vref and exporting feedback resistance R1 and R2, system's loop will make output voltage reach set point through error amplifier 130 and the pulse-width signal that PWM comparator 140 produces certain duty ratios (Duty cycle):
Vout = Vref · R 1 + R 2 R 2
In practical application, the DC/DC transducer that boosts must can be under multiple different loads condition equal operate as normal, and when the different loads transient state is switched, also to keep fixing output voltage basically.Load response is meant that the operating state when converter switches to another load rapidly when (as switching to heavy duty from underloading) from some loads, the amplitude of variation of output voltage V out and stabilized speed.Because we need constant output voltage V out, therefore when load was switched fast, the amplitude of variation of output voltage V out was more little, and stabilized speed is fast more, and performance is good more.
The change curve sketch map of each circuit parameter when Fig. 2 shows the DC/DC transducer that boosts among Fig. 1 and switches to heavy duty by underload.Please referring to shown in Figure 2, (A) stage among the figure is the underload stage, and (B) stage among the figure is the response phase when just having switched to heavy duty.In (A) stage, Iout=1mA, the expression load is very light, and output voltage V out is constant, and feedback voltage Vfb is constant, and error amplification signal EAO is near 0 value.At (B) during the stage, load switches to heavily on the lenient side, and promptly Iout jumps to the 400mA from 1mA; Cause that output voltage V out descends at once; Feedback voltage Vfb also descends simultaneously thereupon and causes error amplification signal EAO to begin to rise, because EAO has connected building-out capacitor, makes EAO rise slowly.In addition; In the prior art, the high certain amplitude of ratio no-voltage that the valley point voltage of triangular wave Ramp is provided with usually is such as 0.5V or 1V; The valley point voltage of Ramp among Fig. 1 is 1V, and the PWM comparator only just can produce the pulse-width signal of effective duty ratio more than valley point voltage like this.Therefore; Rise at error amplification signal EAO before the valley of triangular wave Ramp signal, the power switch pipe MN1 of system still can only be operated in minimum ON time, and the energy that is transferred to load just can not satisfy the requirement of load at all; Thereby output voltage V out can continue to descend; Be raised to enough height up to EAO, produce the pulse-width signal of suitable duty ratio, output voltage V out just begins to transfer rising to from decline.
The usual method of improving load response in the prior art is: the closed loop characteristic that the first, improves whole system; Because the DC/DC transducer that boosts is a degeneration factor, thereby the amplitude of variation of the bandwidth and the loop response speed that improve loop output voltage when all helping reducing load response; The second, increase the appearance value of output capacitance Cout, also help to improve load response.But above-mentioned two kinds of methods all have its limitation: the response speed and the bandwidth that at first merely improve loop bring difficulty can for the frequency compensation of feedback control loop, make feedback control loop unstable; Secondly, increase the compensation that output capacitance also can influence feedback control loop, and the electric capacity of Da Rong value has huger volume and the cost of Geng Gao.
It should be noted that; Be that example has been introduced ubiquitous load response problem in the power-switching circuit with the DC/DC change-over circuit that boosts only, other power-switching circuits that include pulse-width modulation comparator and error amplifier equally also have such load response problem here.
Therefore being necessary to propose a kind of improved technical scheme overcomes the problems referred to above.
