Please refer to Fig. 1, its illustrate into one embodiment of the invention AC to DC converter 100 simplify after functional block diagram.AC to DC converter 100 converts VD Vout to for alternating voltage Vac AC power 102 provided, to be supplied to load 104.In the present embodiment, AC to DC converter 100 includes bridge rectifier 111, low pass filter 112, inductance 113, diode 114, output capacitance 115, power switch (power switch) 116 and active power-factor correction circuit (power factor correction circuit, PFC circuit) 120.
Bridge rectifier 111 is rectified into the input voltage vin of m shape ripple for alternating voltage Vac AC power 102 provided.Low pass filter 112 is coupled to the output of bridge rectifier 111, for carrying out filtering to input voltage vin, to produce the feed-forward signal Sff that size is directly proportional to the mean value of input voltage vin.Inductance 113 and diode 114 are coupled between the output of bridge rectifier 111 and load 104.Output capacitance 115 is coupled to diode 114.One end of power switch 116 is coupled between inductance 113 and diode 114, and switches according to the control of active power-factor correction circuit 120.In implementation, power switch 116 can realize with transistor.
When power switch 116 conducting (on), the diode 114 of AC to DC converter 100 is in reverse bias cut-off state, and input current Iin can flow to power switch 116 via inductance 113.Now, input voltage vin can be charged to inductance 113, makes inductive current IL linearly increase gradually, until power switch 116 ends (off).Now, the energy needed for load 104 is supplied by output capacitance 115.
When power switch 116 ends, the polarity of voltage on inductance 113 can be anti-phase, and add that input voltage vin is charged via diode 114 pairs of output capacitances 115.Now, output capacitance 115 is in charged state, and inductive current IL then can decline gradually, until power switch 116 conducting once again.In this stage, output voltage Vout can remain fixing, and its size is the voltage that input voltage vin adds inductance 113.
As shown in Figure 1, active power-factor correction circuit 120 includes pulse-width modulation signal generator 122 and controller (PFC controller) 124.Controller 124 includes piecewise linear gain circuitry (piecewise linear gain circuit) 130, error amplifier 140 and PWM controller (PWM controller) 150.When active power-factor correction circuit 120 is coupled to AC to DC converter 100, the feed-forward signal Sff that piecewise linear gain circuitry 130 exports for receiving low pass filter 112, and produce the gain signal Sg that size is similar to the square value of feed-forward signal Sff.Error amplifier 140 produces error signal Sea for the output voltage Vout according to AC to DC converter 100.Such as, error amplifier 140 can with reference to voltage Vref with and the output voltage Vout feedback voltage with a proportionate relationship compare, and obtained difference value to be amplified to produce error signal Sea.PWM controller 150 is coupled to piecewise linear gain circuitry 130 and error amplifier 140, for producing control signal Scom according to gain signal Sg, error signal Sea and input voltage vin, and make the size of control signal Scom be proportional to the size of error signal Sea and input voltage vin, and be inversely proportional to the size of gain signal Sg.In implementation, PWM controller 150 can be multiplier-divider (multiplier-divider), in order to the gain signal Sg that the error signal Sea exported by error amplifier 140 exports divided by piecewise linear gain circuitry 130, and obtained numerical value is multiplied by again the size of the input voltage vin after rectification, to produce control signal Scom.Or, other circuit framework also can be utilized to realize the function of PWM controller 150.Pulse-width modulation signal generator 122 can produce pulse-width modulation signal PWM to control the switching action of power switch 116 according to control signal Scom.
In the present embodiment, when feed-forward signal Sff is less than threshold values Vth, piecewise linear gain circuitry 130 can apply the first gain to produce gain signal Sg to feed-forward signal Sff, and when feed-forward signal Sff is more than or equal to threshold values Vth, then piecewise linear gain circuitry 130 can apply the second gain to produce gain signal Sg to feed-forward signal Sff, wherein, aforesaid second gain is greater than the first gain.Thus, the size of gain signal Sg and feed-forward signal Sff will be made to present the correlation of polyline shaped, that is present the characteristic of piecewise linear.Below collocation Fig. 2 is further illustrated enforcement and the function mode of piecewise linear gain circuitry 130.
Fig. 2 is the functional block diagram after the piecewise linear gain circuitry 130 of one embodiment of the invention simplifies.As shown in Figure 2, piecewise linear gain circuitry 130 includes comparison circuit 210, transduction circuit (transconductance circuit) 220, amplification module 230, current adjusting module 240 and resistance 250.Transduction circuit 220 for converting feed-forward signal Sff to current signal, to produce the feedforward current Iff be directly proportional to the voltage swing of feed-forward signal Sff.Amplification module 230 is coupled to the output of transduction circuit 220, for electric current I ff is amplified to produce the electric current be directly proportional to the voltage swing of feed-forward signal Sff.Current adjusting module 240 couples output and the comparison circuit 210 of amplification module 230, for drawing electric current.When operating, feed-forward signal Sff and threshold values Vth can compare by comparison circuit 210, and according to the total output current size of result adjustment amplification module 230 compared and the total current amount of drawing of adjustment current adjusting module 240.
In the embodiment of fig. 2, amplification module 230 includes amplifier 232, amplifier 234 and switch 236, and current adjusting module 240 then includes electric current groove (current sink) 242, electric current groove 244 and switch 246.The current i 1 that amplifier 232 is directly proportional to the voltage swing of feed-forward signal Sff with generation for amplified current Iff.The current i 2 that amplifier 234 is directly proportional to the voltage swing of feed-forward signal Sff with generation for amplified current Iff.Electric current groove 242 is coupled to the output of amplifier 232, for drawing the first scheduled current amount i3.Electric current groove 244 is for drawing the second scheduled current amount i4.Switch 236 is coupled between the output of amplifier 234 and electric current groove 242, current i 2 can be coupled to the input of electric current groove 242 when closed.Switch 246 is coupled between the output of amplifier 232 and electric current groove 244, current i 1 can be coupled to the input of electric current groove 244 when closed.
In the present embodiment, when feed-forward signal Sff is less than threshold values Vth, switch 236 can be arranged to not on-state by comparison circuit 210, total output current of amplification module 230 is made to become i1, and switch 246 is also arranged to not on-state, make the total current amount of drawing of current adjusting module 240 become i3.When feed-forward signal Sff is more than or equal to threshold values Vth, switch 236 can be arranged to conducting state by comparison circuit 210, make total output current of amplification module 230 become i1+i2, and switch 246 is also arranged to conducting state, makes the total current amount of drawing of current adjusting module 240 become i3+i4.
Thus, when feed-forward signal Sff is less than threshold values Vth, the size of the output current i5 of piecewise linear gain circuitry 130 can equal i1-i3.Now, the magnitude of voltage of the gain signal Sg of piecewise linear gain circuitry 130 output can be represented by the formula:
Sg=(G1 × Vin-i3) × R formula (1)
Wherein G1 is the transduction gain of amplifier 232, and R is the resistance value of resistance 250.From formula (1), when feed-forward signal Sff is less than threshold values Vth, the size of gain signal Sg and feed-forward signal Sff can linearly positive correlation.
When feed-forward signal Sff is more than or equal to threshold values Vth, the size of the output current i5 of piecewise linear gain circuitry 130 can equal i1+i2-i3-i4.Now, the magnitude of voltage of the gain signal Sg of piecewise linear gain circuitry 130 output can be represented by the formula:
Sg=[(G1+G2) × Vin-(i3+i4)] × R formula (2)
Wherein G2 is the transduction gain of amplifier 234.From formula (2), when feed-forward signal Sff is more than or equal to threshold values Vth, the size of gain signal Sg and feed-forward signal Sff also can linearly positive correlation, but be greater when the yield value of gain signal Sg can be less than threshold values Vth than feed-forward signal Sff.
As can be seen from the explanation of previously described formula (1) and formula (2), the size of gain signal Sg and feed-forward signal Sff can present the correlation of polyline shaped, that is presents the characteristic of piecewise linear.By the component parameter suitably selected in piecewise linear gain circuitry 130, the result of calculation of approximate squarer just can be produced with piecewise linear gain circuitry 130.
Such as, suppose that the voltage range of feed-forward signal Sff is between 0.8 ~ 2.5V, in one embodiment, the magnitude of current i3 gain G 2 of the gain G 1 of amplifier 232 and amplifier 234 all can be set to 1.1, threshold values Vth is set to 1.65V, drawing electric current groove 242 is set to 0.6 × Iff and the magnitude of current i4 drawn by electric current groove 244 is set to 1.8 × Iff.Under such setting, the size of gain signal Sg will be similar to very much feed-forward signal Sff size square.If the voltage range of feed-forward signal Sff is different from example above, then can, by the mode of the component parameter of suitable adjustment fragment linear gain circuit 130, piecewise linear gain circuitry 130 be made to produce the result of calculation of approximate squarer equally.
Therefore, aforesaid piecewise linear gain circuitry 130 can be used to replace traditional squarer, and its circuit framework is simple more than traditional squarer, and significantly reduce required bias generator, therefore effectively can reduce the circuit area of controller 124, and reduce required electrical power consumed and manufacturing cost when active power-factor correction circuit 120 operates.
As previously mentioned, the gain signal Sg that the error signal Sea that error amplifier 140 can export by the PWM controller 150 in controller 124 exports divided by piecewise linear gain circuitry 130, and obtained numerical value is multiplied by again the size of the input voltage vin after rectification, to produce control signal Scom.In implementation, controller 124 can adopt the magnitude of voltage or electric current I ac with input voltage vin with a proportionate relationship to represent the size of input voltage vin.Pulse-width modulation signal generator 122 can produce corresponding pulse-width modulation signal PWM according to control signal Scom, to control the switching action of power switch 116, makes input current Iin follow control signal Scom and change.Because the waveform of control signal Scom can be identical with the waveform of input voltage vin, therefore front control mode of taking off can make the waveform of input current Iin follow the wave form varies of input voltage vin, and then bring to power factor.
In addition, size due to the gain signal Sg of piecewise linear gain circuitry 130 output is similar to the square value of feed-forward signal Sff size very much, therefore the action of gain signal Sg that error signal Sea exports divided by piecewise linear gain circuitry 130 by PWM controller 150, the power output of AC to DC converter 100 can be avoided equally to change along with the size of input voltage vin.
In the aforementioned embodiment, the scope of the feed-forward signal Sff of input can be divided into two sections and to apply different gains respectively by piecewise linear gain circuitry 130, with the size of the gain signal Sg making generation be similar to feed-forward signal Sff size square.This is only an embodiment, but not limits to actual execution mode of the present invention.In implementation, piecewise linear gain circuitry 130 also can set up more comparison circuit, amplifier and switch module, so that the scope of feed-forward signal Sff is divided into more Multi sectional, and apply with different linear gains respectively, make the size of gain signal Sg and feed-forward signal Sff more level off to quadratic relationship.
In another embodiment, piecewise linear gain circuitry 130 also only can arrange the electric current groove that the amplifier of a gain adjustable and adjustable draw size of current.When feed-forward signal Sff is positioned at different scopes, then adopts different amplifier gains and/or make electric current groove draw different current values, to produce required gain signal Sg.
In another embodiment, the feed-forward signal Sff that low pass filter 112 produces is the signal of current forms.Now, the transduction circuit 220 in piecewise linear gain circuitry 130 can be omitted.
In other embodiment, piecewise linear gain circuitry 130 also can adopt one or more transduction circuit, one or more amplifier and/or one or more electric current groove, when making feed-forward signal Sff be positioned at different scopes, the gain signal Sg of different gains can be produced.
The foregoing is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention, all equalizations done according to the present patent application the scope of the claims change and modify, and all should belong to the covering scope of the present invention.
