Due in the time that booster converter 200 has just started, the absolute value of controlling voltage VC is less, and not conducting of protective switch of the short circuit MSCP, does not almost have electric current to flow through switching tube M.Along with the absolute value of controlling voltage VC increases gradually, in the time that it increases to the on state threshold voltage of protective switch of the short circuit MSCP, protective switch of the short circuit MSCP conducting, current flowing IL in switching tube M.Electric current I L increases gradually, thereby the detection voltage VRS at current sensing resistor RS two ends increases gradually.In the time that detection voltage VRS increases to reference voltage VREF1, the current detection signal SCMP1 of the output output high level of current sense comparator CMP1.The current detection signal SCMP1 of this high level disconnects second switch S2, thereby current source IS stops drop-down control voltage VC.In addition, the current detection signal SCMP1 of this high level second circuits for triggering TR2 that also resets, the second circuits for triggering TR2 produces low level the second triggering signal STR2 at its output.Because the first circuits for triggering TR1 does not now enable, its first triggering signal STR1 providing is also low level, and therefore the switch controlling signal CTRL of OR circuit OR output low level disconnects switching tube M.Now, switching circuit 210, by diode D afterflow, provides the output voltage VO UT increasing gradually on output capacitor C.Meanwhile, timing circuit TIM starts timing under the triggering of the current detection signal SCMP1 of high level.
After a Preset Time, the timing signal STIM of timing circuit TIM output high level.Timing signal STIM enables short-circuit detecting comparator C MP2, and short-circuit detecting comparator C MP2 starts comparison reference voltage VREF2 and feedback signal VFB.If short circuit does not appear in booster converter 200, feedback signal VFB is greater than reference voltage VREF2, and short-circuit detecting comparator C MP2 produces low level short-circuit detection signal SCP at output.Now, AND circuit AND output high level with gate signal SAND, this high level make the 3rd switch S 3 conductings with gate signal SAND, protective switch of the short circuit MSCP, by conducting completely, has reduced loss.In addition, this high level enable the first circuits for triggering TR1 with gate signal SAND.Therefore, booster converter 200 starts normal work.If short circuit appears in booster converter 200, feedback signal VFB is less than reference voltage VREF2, and short-circuit detecting comparator C MP2 produces the short-circuit detection signal SCP of high level at output.Short-circuit detection signal SCP conducting first switch S 1 of this high level, the control voltage VC of protective switch of the short circuit MSCP is zero, thus protective switch of the short circuit MSCP disconnects, to provide short-circuit protection to booster converter 200.
When booster converter 200 normal work, the first circuits for triggering TR1 is according to clock signal OSC and pulse-width modulation comparison signal SCMP3 alternate conduction and on-off switching tube M.When the rising edge of a pulse of clock signal OSC comes interim, the first triggering signal STR1 of the first circuits for triggering TR1 output high level, then the switch controlling signal CTRL of OR circuit OR output high level makes switching tube M conducting, is inductor L and output capacitor C charging.Now, the electric current that flows through inductor L increases gradually, in the time that its increase causes current error amplifying signal SAMP1 to be greater than voltage error amplifying signal SAMP2, and the pulse-width modulation comparison signal SCMP3 of pulse width modulated comparator CMP3 output high level.The pulse-width modulation comparison signal SCMP3 of this high level first circuits for triggering TR1 that resets, makes the first triggering signal STR1 of the first circuits for triggering TR1 output low level, and the switch controlling signal CTRL of OR circuit OR output low level turn-offs switching tube M then.Now, electric current is by diode D afterflow, until the rising edge of next clock signal OSC arrives.More than action constantly repeats, and makes booster converter 200 that input voltage VIN is converted to output voltage VO UT.

In step 303, detect and flow through the electric current I L of switching tube M, and judge whether electric current I L is greater than preset value ILref.If electric current I L is greater than preset value ILref, enter step 304, cut-off switch pipe M starts timing simultaneously.In another embodiment, step 304 also comprises and maintains that to control voltage VC constant.If electric current I L is less than preset value ILref, get back to step 302, continue actuating switch pipe M, and continue to increase the absolute value of controlling voltage VC.In step 305, one section of Preset Time of timing, short-circuit protection method 300 enters step 306, judges whether booster converter occurs output short-circuit.In one embodiment, judge whether booster converter occurs that the step of output short-circuit comprises the feedback signal that detects expression output voltage, and feedback signal and reference voltage are compared, if feedback signal is less than reference voltage, conclude booster converter output short-circuit; If feedback signal is greater than reference voltage, conclude that output short-circuit does not appear in booster converter.If there is not output short-circuit in booster converter, enter step 308, booster converter is normally worked.If there is short circuit in booster converter, enter step 307, disconnect protective switch of the short circuit MSCP.
