When short trouble releases, short circuit fault signal ST turns off switch K2, and output voltage Vout is begun to ramp up, and works as feedback letter Reference signal Vref number is risen to, the first control signal Vc1 that short-circuit protection circuit 55 generates effective status simultaneously keeps pre- timing Between, driving signal Vd is maintained at the first level.Within the predetermined time, the soft reference signal SS that opens keeps being pulled low to zero, so that Switch converters stop working.In order to by the inductive current I of switch convertersLIt is pulled low to zero, first control signal Vc1 control is opened K3 conducting is closed, while thermal compensation signal VC holding is pulled low to zero.Terminate when the predetermined time, short-circuit protection circuit 55 generate from Zero begin to ramp up it is soft open reference signal SS, the normal phase input end of error circuit 53, which receives, soft opens reference signal SS, driving circuit 54 start to start according to thermal compensation signal VC and clock signal clk control switch converter.After start completion, error circuit 53 it is same Phase input terminal receives reference voltage ref, to export the thermal compensation signal VC of characterization output voltage Vout and desired output voltage difference.
With reference to Fig. 6, it show the working waveform figure of short-circuit protection circuit according to an embodiment of the present invention.
In t0Short trouble occurs for moment, switch converters, and output voltage is pulled low to zero by short circuit fault signal ST, so that Feedback signal FB is reduced, and thermal compensation signal VC is increased, inductive current ILIncrease.
In t0~t1Period, feedback signal FB are lower than reference signal Vref, and output voltage detecting circuit passes through delay time △ t(t1-t0) effective second control signal Vc2 is generated, short-circuit protection circuit control switch converter enters short circuit protection mode.
In t1Moment, the soft reference signal SS that opens that reference signal generation circuit generates reach predetermined value V1, generate effective Soft open completes signal SS_done, while exporting effective short pulse baseline restoration signal SS_rst.Reference voltage generating circuit according to The soft reference signal SS that opens is pulled low to zero by baseline restoration signal SS_rst, then rising of starting from scratch.Control circuit is multiple according to benchmark Position signal SS_rst generates the driving signal Vd with the first level.The movement of driving signal Vd control switch converter shutdown switch Into dormant state, inductive current ILRemain zero.
In t2Moment, the soft reference signal SS that opens rise to predetermined value V1, and reference signal generation circuit generates effectively short again Pulse reference reset signal SS_rst, driving signal Vd switch to second electrical level by the first level, and control switch converter starts Switch motion access switch state, inductive current ILRise.Until t3Moment, switch state terminate to be again introduced into dormant state, with This circulation.
In t4Moment, short trouble release, and short circuit fault signal ST is switched to low level by high level.In t5Moment, feedback Signal FB rises to reference signal Vref, and output voltage detecting circuit generates the first control signal Vc1 of effective status and maintains Predetermined time △ t1 (t6-t5), driving signal Vd is maintained at the first level.In predetermined time △ t1 initial time (namely t5When Carve), reference signal generation circuit opens reference signal SS and is pulled low to zero from current value according to first control signal Vc1 by soft, simultaneously Thermal compensation signal VC holding is pulled low to zero, so that switch converters stop working, inductive current ILHolding is pulled low to zero.
In t6At the moment, predetermined time △, t1 terminated, and short-circuit protection circuit control switch converter exits short circuit protection mode, The soft reference signal SS that opens starts from scratch rising, and switch converters are started to work, and feedback signal FB starts slowly to rise, while inductance Electric current is also begun to ramp up.
The technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention is by the way that in the short trouble releasing of switch converters, reference signal generates electricity The soft reference signal that opens is pulled low to zero from current value and is kept for the predetermined time by road according to first control signal, while the first control letter Number the thermal compensation signal for characterizing switch converters output voltage and desired output voltage difference is kept into drawing within the predetermined time Down to zero, so that switch converters stop working, terminate when the predetermined time, the soft reference signal that opens is started from scratch rising, and switch becomes Parallel operation follows the soft reference signal that opens to start to work, so that output voltage slowly rises, it is ensured that open when short trouble releases Converter is closed safely and reliably to work.
The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, is not intended to restrict the invention, for those skilled in the art For, the invention can have various changes and changes.All any modifications made within the spirit and principles of the present invention are equal Replacement, improvement etc., should all be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
