为了更清楚地说明本发明实施例或现有技术中的技术方案,下面将对实施例或现有技术描述中所需要使用的附图作简单地介绍,显而易见地,下面描述中的附图仅仅是本发明的实施例,对于本领域普通技术人员来讲,在不付出创造性劳动的前提下,还可以根据提供的附图获得其他的附图。

下面将结合本发明实施例中的附图,对本发明实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述,显然,所描述的实施例仅仅是本发明一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于本发明中的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在没有做出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例,都属于本发明保护的范围。
参阅图1,本申请实施例公开了一种电压钳位电路,包括:定时器101、控制单元102和信号产生单元103。
定时器101与控制单元102相连接。
所述信号产生单元103用于产生渐增式信号;
控制单元102用于接收输入到该控制单元的第一电压,并当定时器101的定时时刻未达到预定时刻时,控制控制单元102的一个输入端与信号产生单元103的输出端相连,接收信号产生单元103产生的渐增式信号,并控制第一电压跟随渐增式信号变化;和/或,当定时器101的定时时刻达到预定时刻时,控制控制单元102的该输入端接收固定电压,若第一电压大于固定电压,则控制第一电压进行压降。
需要说明的是,定时器101为软启动时间的计数器。预定时刻为电路中软启动开始启动的时刻。可通过调整定时器101的定时时刻来调整电路的软启动时间。
需要说明的是,可以采用控制开关控制控制单元102的一个输入端与信号产生单元103的输出端相连,以及控制控制单元102的该输入端接收固定电压。其中,控制开关的类型可为单刀双掷开关。当然,控制开关还可以是其他类型的开关。
需要说明的是,固定电压为钳位电压的默认值,可根据应用环境和用户选择自行设定大小,例如,固定电压可以小于或等于工作电压VDD。但在实际应用中,固定电压的取值一般等于电压钳位电路中需要进行钳位的电压最大 值,也即等于工作电压VDD。
需要说明的是,当定时器的定时时刻达到预定时刻时,渐增式信号等于固定电压。
请参见图2,在本申请的另一具体实施例中,该信号产生单元103的一种实施方式,包括:第一电容C1。
其中,第一电容C1的第一端接收参考电流,第二端端接地。第一电容C1接收参考电流的第一端作为信号产生单元的输出端。
在实际应用中,信号产生单元103输出的电压变化,即渐增式信号的电压变化可参见图3,为由0渐增至工作电压VDD的电压。
当然,信号产生单元103输出的电压的大小和变化方式,还可根据应用环境和用户需求自行设定,本申请不作具体限定,均属于本申请的保护范围。
同样参见图2,在本申请的另一具体实施例中,该控制单元102的一种实施方式,包括:第一MOS管M1、第二MOS管M2、第三MOS管M3、第四MOS管M4、第五MOS管M5和第六MOS管M6。
第一MOS管M1的源极和第二MOS管M2的源极分别与工作电压VDD相连,第一MOS管M1的漏极分别与第三MOS管M3的漏极和第五MOS管的漏极M5相连,第一MOS管M1的栅极作为控制单元102的输入端。
第二MOS管M2的漏极与第四MOS管M4的漏极相连,第二MOS管M2的栅极和第六MOS管M6的漏极分别与第一电压相连。
第三MOS管M3的栅极与第四MOS管M4的栅极相连,第三MOS管M3的源极接地。
第四MOS管M4的栅极与其漏极相连,第四MOS管M4的源极接地。
第五MOS管M5的栅极分别与其漏极和第六MOS管M6的栅极相连,第五MOS管M5的源极接地,第六MOS管M6的源极接地。
若定时器101判断出定时时刻未到达预定时刻,则控制控制单元102的输入端与信号产生单元103的输出端相连,也即第一MOS管M1的栅极与信号产生单元103的输出端相连,接收信号产生单元103的输出端输出的渐增式信号,由于渐增式信号为从0至工作电压VDD递增的电压信号,而第一MOS管M1的源极所接收的电压信号为工作电压VDD。当第一MOS管M1的栅源 电压大于第一MOS管M1的开启电压时,也可视为当第一MOS管M1的栅极电压小于第一MOS管M1的源极电压时,第一MOS管M1导通,有电流经源极流向漏极,由于第二MOS管M2和第一MOS管M1为镜像电路,所以第二MOS管M2也导通,同样也有大小一致的电流经源极流向漏极。
同理,第三MOS管M3和第四MOS管M4也为镜像电路、第五MOS管M5和第六MOS管M6也为镜像电路。第三MOS管M3、第四MOS管M4、第五MOS管M5以及第六MOS管M6的状态变化与第一MOS管M1的状态变化相同,当第一MOS管M1处于导通状态时,第三MOS管M3、第四MOS管M4、第五MOS管M5以及第六MOS管M6也处于导通状态,且流经第三MOS管M3和第四MOS管M4的电流大小相同,流经第五MOS管M5和第六MOS管M6的电流大小相同。因为第二MOS管M2至第六MOS管M6的状态变化与第一MOS管M1的状态变化相同,若第一MOS管M1导通,则第二M2至第六MOS管M6也均导通,故此,当第一MOS管M1的栅极电压均小于工作电压VDD时,第一M1至第六MOS管M6均处于导通状态,此时,控制单元102中形成对第一电压进行钳位的通路,使得第一电压跟随第一MOS管M1的栅极电压变化而变化,也即跟随渐增式电压信号变化。
若定时器101判断出定时时刻到达预定时刻,则控制控制单元102的输入端接收固定电压,也即第一MOS管M1的栅极接收固定电压。此时,第一MOS管M1的栅极所接收到的固定电压为一个固定的电压值,例如其大小等同于工作电压VDD,因此,控制单元102中各个MOS管的状态,受固定电压和第一电压的控制,由于固定电压不变,所以可视为控制单元102中各个MOS管的状态受第一电压控制。当第一电压大于固定电压时,则第一MOS管M1至第六MOS管M6导通,对第一电压进行降压,将第一电压降至小于固定电压的电压值,也即降至小于工作电压VDD。
需要说明的是,当定时器101判断出定时时刻未到达预定时刻,信号产生单元103的输出端输出信号为渐增式信号,也即此时电路设定的钳位电压为渐增式变化的电压。随着钳位电压的逐渐上升,电压钳位电路所在的降压转换器中的占空比也逐渐上升,当达到钳位电压为工作电压VDD时,电压钳位电路所在的降压转换器中的占空比为100%。
需要说明的是,可根据电路的应用环境和用户需求,设定电压钳位电路所在的降压转换器中环路锁定时的占空比。本申请对环路锁定时电压钳位电路所在的降压转换器中的占空比的取值不作具体限定,均属于本申请的保护范围,可选的,设定的占空比的取值不同,定时器的预定时刻也不同,即可能存在,信号产生单元产生的渐增式信号为到达工作电压VDD时,控制单元已切换至与固定电压相连。
电压钳位电路所在降压转换器中电压钳位的电压变化情况和占空比的变化情况以及环路锁定情况,可如图4所示,图中虚线表示电压钳位的电压变化情况,即第一电压的变化情况,直线表示电压钳位电路所在降压转换器的环路锁定时第一电压变化情况,锯齿波形表示电压钳位电路所在降压转换器中固有波形,锯齿波的任意两个相邻波谷之间的时间差为一个周期。
在本实施例中,通过将控制单元102、定时器101和信号产生单元103的集成于同一电路中,并通过判断定时器101的定时时刻是否到达预定时刻,若定时器101的定时时刻到达预定时刻,则控制控制单元102的输出端与信号产生单元103的输出端相连,在接收到信号产生单元103产生的渐增式信号时,控制第一电压跟随渐增式信号变化;若定时器101的定时时刻达到预定时刻,则控制控制单元102的该输入端接收固定电压,在接收到固定电压时,若第一电压大于固定电压,则控制第一电压进行压降,简化了电路难度,解决了现有降压转换器中的软启动电路和电压钳位电路均为独立,而导致电路结构较为复杂的问题,而将控制单元102、定时器101和信号产生单元103的集成于同一电路,还可节省芯片面积,以及在固定时间内可控制电路中的占空比达到100%。
并且,该电压钳位电路仅需要设置与误差放大器的输出端,同时具有软启动电路和电压钳位电路的功能,降低了电路结构的复杂度;该电压钳位电路还可将误差放大器的输出电压钳位在一个可调节的默认值;而在软启动时利用该钳位电路逐渐提高误差放大器的输出电压来达成将占空比逐渐上升,还可以避免突冲电流发生。

需要说明的是,时钟信号可根据应用环境和用户需求自行定义。在实际应用中,一般可选用脉冲时钟信号。
在实际应用中,当第二电压大于电感电流信号,比较器404输出比较信号 重置触发单元405,使得开关管P断开。此时,电流由地通过二极管Z流向第一电感L,直至,下一个时钟信号,使得触发单元405重新翻转,设置开关管P重新导通,完成一个周期。
其中,在一个周期内,开关管P导通时间占整个周期时间的比值为占空比,而降压转换器所输出的输出电压等于输入电压与占空比的乘积。
