Detailed Description
The following detailed description of the embodiments is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the specific embodiments described are merely illustrative of the disclosure and not intended to limit the disclosure, and the description of the structure operations is not intended to limit the order in which the operations may be performed, and any arrangement of elements that may be rearranged to produce a result with equivalent technical results is within the scope of the disclosure.
Please refer to fig. 1. Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a pulse frequency control system 900 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 1, the pulse frequency control system 900 includes a pulse frequency control circuit 100, buffer circuits BUF1 and BUF2, and a power conversion circuit 200. The pulse frequency control circuit 100 is connected to the power conversion circuit 200 through buffer circuits BUF1 and BUF2. Specifically, the pulse frequency control circuit 100 outputs the control signal CS to the buffer circuits BUF1 and BUF2. The buffer circuits BUF1 and BUF2 generate delay signals PG and NG, respectively, to the power conversion circuit 200 according to the control signal CS.
In some embodiments, the power conversion circuit 200 may be implemented by a Buck Converter (Buck Converter). As shown in fig. 1, the power conversion circuit 200 includes an inductance Lx, a capacitance Cx, and switches M1 and M2. Specifically, a first terminal of the switch M1 is connected to the system high voltage VCC. The control terminal of the switch M1 receives the delay signal PG. The second terminal of the switch M1 and the first terminal of the switch M2 are connected to the first terminal of the inductance Lx. The control terminal of the switch M2 receives the delay signal NG. The second terminal of the switch M2 is grounded. The second terminal of the inductance Lx is connected to the first terminal of the capacitance Cx. The second terminal of the capacitance Cx is grounded.
In operation, when the control signal CS is at a low level, the delay signals PG and NG are also at a low level, so that the switch M1 is turned on and the switch M2 is turned off, to provide the system high voltage VCC to the inductor Lx, the capacitor Cx and the back-end load (not shown) for charging. When the control signal CS is at a high level, the delay signals PG and NG are also at a high level, so that the switch M1 is turned off and the switch M2 is turned on to ground the inductor Lx, the capacitor Cx and the rear load for discharging.
In this way, the power conversion circuit 200 can charge and discharge the load by the level of the control signal CS to generate the output signal (i.e. the output current Iout and the output voltage Vout in fig. 1). Further, the pulse frequency control circuit 100 receives the control signal CS, the delay signals PG and NG, the output current Iout, and the output voltage Vout, and performs feedback control based on these signals.
Please refer to fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of a pulse frequency control circuit 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 2, the pulse frequency control circuit 100 includes comparison circuits 110 and 120, a flip-flop circuit 130, a slope determination circuit 140, and a shift switching circuit 150. The slope determination circuit 140 connects the shift switching circuit 150 and the comparison circuit 120. The comparison circuits 110 and 120 are respectively connected to the flip-flop circuit 130.
In operation, the comparison circuit 110 outputs a first signal SET according to the reference signal REF1 and the output voltage Vout. The comparison circuit 120 outputs a second signal RE according to the reference signal REF2 and the slope modulation voltage VC. The flip-flop circuit 130 outputs the control signal CS according to the first signal SET and the second signal RE. The slope determination circuit 140 outputs a slope modulation voltage VC according to the delay signal PG, and determines a slope of the slope modulation voltage VC according to the gear switching signal CCOT. The shift position switching circuit 150 outputs a shift position switching signal based on the low frequency signal LHZ and the detection signal ZCD.
Please refer to fig. 3 and fig. 4 together. Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of a portion of a specific circuit of the embodiment of fig. 2 according to the present disclosure. Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of signal waveforms of the embodiment of fig. 3 according to the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 3, the comparison circuits 110 and 120 may be implemented by comparators COMP1 and COMP2, respectively. The flip-flop circuit 130 may be implemented by an RS flip-flop composed of two NOR gates NOR1, NOR 2.
Specifically, the two input terminals of the comparator COMP1 receive the reference signal REF1 and the output voltage Vout, respectively. The output of the comparator COMP1 is connected to the first input of the RS flip-flop. For example, as shown in the period P1 in fig. 4, when the output voltage Vout is less than or equal to the reference signal REF1, the comparator COMP1 outputs the first signal SET with high level to the NOR gate NOR1.
The two inputs of the comparator COMP2 receive the reference signal REF2 and the slope modulation voltage VC, respectively. The output of the comparator COMP2 is connected to the second input of the RS flip-flop via a NOT gate. For example, as shown in the period P2 in fig. 4, when the slope modulation voltage VC is greater than or equal to the reference signal REF2, the comparator COMP2 outputs the high second signal RE to the NOR gate NOR2 through the NOR gate.
According to the logic operation of the RS flip-flop, when the first signal SET is at the high level and the RE signal is at the low level, the output terminal of the NOR gate NOR2 outputs the low level control signal CS through the NOR gate (as shown in the period T1 of fig. 4). When the second signal RE is at the high level, the output of the NOR gate NOR2 outputs the control signal CS at the high level via the NOR gate (as shown in the period T2 of fig. 4).
In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 3, the slope determination circuit 140 includes a current source IS, switches M3, M4, SW [0] to SW [3], and capacitors C0 to C3. Specifically, the current source IS connected between the system high voltage VCC and the first terminal of the switch M3. The second terminal of the switch M3 and the first terminal of the switch M4 are connected to the output terminal. The second terminal of the switch M4 is grounded. The first ends of the switches SW 0-SW 3 are connected to the output end. The second ends of the switches SW 0-SW 3 are respectively connected with the first ends of the capacitors C0-C3. The second ends of the capacitors C0-C3 are grounded.
In operation, the switch M3 IS selectively turned on according to the enable signal EN to enable the system high voltage VCC and the current source IS to supply the voltage current to the output terminal. The switch M4 is selectively turned on according to the delay signal PG to ground the output terminal. For example, as shown in the period T1 in fig. 4, when the enable signal EN is at the high level and the delay signal PG is at the low level, the switch M3 is turned on and the switch M4 is turned off, so that the slope modulation voltage VC of the output terminal rises. As shown in the period T2 in fig. 4, when the enable signal EN is at the low level and the delay signal PG is at the high level, the switch M3 is turned off and the switch M4 is turned on, so that the slope modulation voltage VC of the output terminal becomes the ground voltage level.
In addition, the switches SW [0] to SW [3] determine which is turned on or off according to the gear switching signal CCOT, so that the output end is connected with a corresponding one or more of the capacitors C0 to C3, and the equivalent capacitance value is the minimum capacitance value or the preset capacitance value. For example, in some embodiments, the capacitances C0-C3 have different capacitance values, with the capacitance value of the capacitance C0 being the smallest. When the shift switching signal CCOT is at the low level, only the switch SW [0] is turned on, so that the equivalent capacitance of the output terminal is at a minimum value, and thus the slope of the slope modulation voltage VC is at a maximum, as shown in the period T1 of FIG. 4. When the shift switching signal CCOT is at a high level, one of the switches SW [1] to SW [3] is turned on, so that the equivalent capacitance value of the output terminal connection becomes large, and therefore the rising slope of the slope modulation voltage VC becomes small, as shown in the period T3 in FIG. 4.
In this way, the equivalent capacitance of the connection capacitor is adjusted by the level of the shift switching signal CCOT, so as to influence the rising slope of the slope modulation voltage VC, so that the frequency of the control signal CS generated by the comparison circuits 110 and 120 and the trigger circuit 130 can be regulated. When the equivalent capacitance is smaller, the slope of the slope modulation voltage VC increases, and the frequency of the control signal CS increases, as shown by periods T1 and T2 in fig. 4. Conversely, as the equivalent capacitance increases, the slope of the slope modulation voltage VC increases, and the frequency of the control signal CS decreases, as shown by periods T3 and T4 in fig. 4.
It should be noted that the switches SW [0] to SW [3] and the capacitors C0 to C3 shown in FIG. 3 are only illustrative examples and are not intended to limit the present disclosure. The amount of capacitance, the magnitude of capacitance and the gear setting of the slope determination circuit 140 can be adjusted and designed according to actual requirements. For example, in other embodiments, the capacitances of the capacitors C0-C3 may be the same, and different numbers of capacitors may be connected to different gear positions according to the setting. For another example, two or more gears may be set according to the gear shift signal CCOT.
Please refer to fig. 5. Fig. 5 is a flow chart of a pulse frequency control method 500 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 5, the pulse frequency control method 500 includes operations S510 to S540.
First, in operation S510, a low frequency square wave is taken, and the control signal CS and the output signals Iout, vout are detected.
Next, in operation S520, it is determined whether the load is in light load and the control signal CS is lower than the low frequency signal LHZ. Since the lowest audible frequency of the human ear is about 20KHz, the low frequency signal LHZ may be set to a square wave signal of 32KHz above this frequency (as shown in fig. 7), but is not limited thereto.
When the load is not in light load or the control signal CS is not lower than the low frequency signal LHZ, operation S530 is performed, and the load is switched to the preset capacitance value according to the gear switching signal CCOT. In this way, when the control signal CS is already at a sufficiently high frequency or heavy load, the control signal CS can be switched back to the preset capacitance value to ensure sufficient power supply to the load.
When the load is in light load and the control signal CS is lower than the low frequency signal LHZ, operation S540 is performed, and the minimum capacitance is switched according to the gear switching signal CCOT. Therefore, when the power supply to the load is enough, the frequency of the output signal can be increased by switching to the minimum capacitance value, so that noise surge is prevented from affecting the audio quality along with the input of the output signal into the audio equipment.
Please refer to fig. 6 and fig. 7 together. Fig. 6 is a schematic diagram of another portion of the embodiment of fig. 2 according to the present disclosure. Fig. 7 is a schematic diagram of signal waveforms of the embodiment of fig. 6 according to the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 6, the shift position switching circuit 150 includes a detection circuit 151, flip-flops FF1 to FF3, AND gates AND1, AND2.
Specifically, the detection circuit 151 receives the output current Iout, outputs the detection signal ZCD at the high level according to the output current Iout approaching zero, and outputs the detection signal ZCD at the low level according to the output current Iout being greater than zero.
Flip-flop FF1 is an RS flip-flop. The S input receives the delay signal NG. The R input terminal is connected to the detection circuit 151 to receive the detection signal ZCD. According to the logic operation of the RS flip-flop, when the delay signal NG is at a high level, the Q output terminal outputs the high level discrimination signal Q1. When the detection signal ZCD is at the high level, the Q output terminal outputs the low level determination signal Q1. When both the delay signal NG and the detection signal ZCD are at the low level, the determination signal Q1 maintains the original level.
The AND gate AND1 receives the low-frequency enable signal ENL, AND is connected to the Q output terminal of the flip-flop FF1 to receive the discrimination signal Q1. When the low-frequency enable signal ENL is turned to a high level, the level of the determination signal R1 outputted from the AND gate AND1 is changed along with the determination signal Q1.
Flip-flop FF2 is a D flip-flop. The D input receives a high reference voltage HV (or system high voltage VCC). The CK clock input receives the control signal CS. The reset input is connected to the AND gate AND1 to receive the discrimination signal R1. According to the logic operation of the D flip-flop, when the determination signal R1 is at the low level, the QB output terminal must output the determination signal QB2 at the high level. When the determination signal R1 is at the high level, the QB output terminal outputs the low level determination signal QB2 when the control signal CS is turned to the high level.
The AND gate AND2 receives the low frequency enable signal ENL, AND is connected to the flip-flop FF2 to receive the discrimination signal QB2. When the low-frequency enable signal ENL is turned to a high level, the level of the determination signal R2 outputted from the AND gate AND2 is changed along with the determination signal QB2.
Flip-flop FF3 is a D flip-flop. The D input receives a high reference voltage HV (or system high voltage VCC). The CK clock input receives a low frequency signal LHZ. The reset input is connected to the AND gate AND2 to receive the discrimination signal R2. According to the logic operation of the D flip-flop, when the determination signal R2 is at the low level, the QB output terminal must output the high level shift switch signal CCOT. When the determination signal R2 is at the high level, the QB output terminal outputs the low level shift switching signal CCOT when the low frequency signal LHZ is turned to the high level.
In this way, as shown in the period T5 of fig. 7, when the output current Iout is insufficient (heavy load) to maintain the detection signal ZCD at the low level, the shift switching signal CCOT is switched to the high level to switch to the preset capacitance value when the control signal CS is switched from the low level to the high level, so as to ensure that the power conversion circuit 200 can supply sufficient power to the load. In addition, as shown in the period T6 of fig. 7, when the output current Iout is again approaching zero so that the detection signal ZCD goes to the high level, the gear switching signal CCOT goes to the low level to switch to the minimum capacitance value to increase the operation frequency of the power conversion circuit 200 when the low frequency signal LHZ goes from the low level to the high level, thereby avoiding falling to the low frequency.
In summary, the pulse frequency control circuit 100 adjusts the level of the control signal CS according to the feedback of the control signal CS, the delay signals PG and NG, the output current Iout and the output voltage Vout, so as to control the power conversion circuit 200 to charge and discharge the load to generate the output signal. The equivalent capacitance value of the connection capacitor is controlled by the level of the shift switching signal CCOT, so that the rising slope of the slope modulation voltage VC can be controlled, and the frequency of the control signal CS can be regulated.

When the load is in light load and the frequency of the control signal is lower than the frequency of the low-frequency signal, a capacitor array of the pulse frequency control circuit is switched to a first capacitance value so as to generate the control signal with a first frequency; and
When the load is not in light load or the frequency of the control signal is not lower than the frequency of the low-frequency signal, the capacitor array of the pulse frequency control circuit is switched to a second capacitance value to generate the control signal with a second frequency, wherein the first capacitance value is smaller than the second capacitance value, and the first frequency is higher than the second frequency.
