CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION(S)

This application claims priority benefit under 35 U.S.C. §119 of Chinese Patent Application No. 201010218923.6, filed on Jun. 29, 2010, the content of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

TECHNOLOGICAL FIELD

Example embodiments of the present disclosure relate generally to a power supply controlling circuit, and more particularly, to a switched-mode power supply controlling circuit and the switched-mode power supply using the same.

BACKGROUND

The present portable electronic devices usually use the battery as the power supply device. When the battery power runs out, the electronic device needs to be charged by an adapter to ensure the normal work. With wide adaptive range and high converting efficiency, the switched-mode power supply (SMPS) has been widely applied to portable electronic devices.

The SMPS usually comprises two modes: the pulse width modulation (PWM) mode and the pulse frequency modulation (PFM) mode, which may be converted through a hybrid converter for the SMPS. And like the SMPS, the hybrid converter for the SMPS has been widely applied to portable electronic devices.

In the PWM mode, the hybrid converter for the SMPS works under a constant frequency, and a PMW controlling unit adjusts the conduction time of the power switch according to the load situation. In the PFM mode, the hybrid converter for the SMPS usually has a strong load capacity and may output an output voltage with small ripple and constant frequency. In a heavy load condition, a high efficiency may be achieved; but in a light load condition, the constant switching loss of the hybrid converter for the SMPS may decrease the efficiency.

In the PWM mode, the frequency of the hybrid converter changes according to the value of the load. In a light load condition, the frequency decreases and causes a corresponding decrease in the switching loss, which may result in the hybrid converter achieving a high efficiency under the light load.

As mentioned above, when in which the hybrid converter automatically switches between PWM and PFM modes according to the load condition, the hybrid converter may maintain a high efficiency, which may enable the power supply to achieve high efficiency and the battery to achieve longer endurance. Conventionally, a hybrid converter that can automatically switch between two modes requires an automatic conversion controlling circuit, a PWM circuit and a PFM circuit. The automatic conversion controlling circuit controls the PWM circuit and the PFM circuit to work according to the load condition so as to make the main circuit of the power supply output a stable voltage. However, the automatic conversion controlling circuit is complicated and hard to realize.

And the SMPS controlling circuit 10 includes a driving unit 80 connected with the logic unit 70, and configured to control a power switch of the main circuit 20 to switch on or switch off to thereby stabilize the output voltage of the main circuit according to the switching controlling signal.

Referring to FIG. 2, the left column is the switch-on duration of the switching controlling signal, and the right column is the frequency of the switching controlling signal. In this exemplary embodiment, each row represents a switching controlling signal. For example, D_max and fsw_max correspond to a switching controlling signal with the D_max switch-on duration and fsw max frequency, and the switching controlling signal may be configured to control the power switch to switch on or off at the frequency fsw_max in the D_max switch-on duration.

The switching status selecting unit 30 may include an enable unit 120, an encoder 130 connected with the enable unit 120, and a decoder 140 connected with the encoder. The enable unit 120 may be configured to generate an enable signal according to the voltage feedback signal.

The decoder 140 may be configured to convert the status selected and output by the encoder to the switching status selecting signal. In some exemplary embodiments of the present invention, the encoder is a reversible counter and the enable signal includes a count enable signal configured to control the reversible counter to count up or down, and a reset enable signal configured to control the reversible counter to jump to the minimum count value when the voltage feedback signal is less than the reference voltage.

FIG. 4 shows the status diagram of the encoder 130 of the switching status selecting unit 30 according to one exemplary embodiment of the present invention. In some exemplary embodiments of the present invention, the encoder 130 is a reversible counter. Referring to FIG. 4, the statuses are the count values of the reversible counter. The count value comprises ten four-digit binary numbers. In one example, the encoder is a 4-16 encoder.

FIG. 5 illustrates schematic diagram of a relationship among the status, the switch-on duration and the frequency of the switching controlling signal according to one exemplary embodiment of the present invention. The statuses correspond to the switch-on durations and the frequencies. The statuses are the count values of the reversible counter. In one example, the count values from small to large correspond to the voltages of the voltage output status from large to small, and the frequencies of the frequency output status from large to small. For example, the minimum count value of reversible counter 0000 corresponds to the maximum switch-on duration D_max and the maximum frequency of the frequency output status fsw_max; and the maximum count value of reversible counter 1001 corresponds to the minimum switch-on duration 0.1D_max and the minimum frequency of the frequency output status 0.1fsw_max.

FIG. 6 is a schematic block diagram of the switching status selecting unit 30 according to one exemplary embodiment of the present invention. In some exemplary embodiments of the present invention, the encoder 130 is the reversible counter and the switching status selecting unit 30 further comprises an overflow protection unit 150. The overflow protection unit 150 is configured to control the reversible counter to maintain the maximum or minimum count value until the reversible counter changes the count direction when the reversible counter overflows. In some exemplary embodiments of the present invention, the switching status selecting unit 30 further comprise an encoding maintaining unit 160 configured to maintain each status of the reversible counter for one or more switching cycles until the switching cycle ends or the reversible counter changes the count direction.

FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram of the switching status selecting unit 30 according to one exemplary embodiment of the present invention. The enable unit 120 comprises a second comparator C2 configured to output the reset enable signal S3, and a third comparator C3 configured to output the count enable signal S4. The second comparator C2 includes a positive input terminal connected to a first reference voltage Vref1 generated by the reference voltage generating unit 40, a negative input terminal connected to the voltage feedback signal S1, and an output terminal connected to the encoder 130. The third comparator C3 includes a negative input terminal connected to a second reference voltage Vref2 generated by the reference voltage generating unit 40, a positive input terminal connected to the voltage feedback signal S1, and an output terminal connected to the encoder 130.

FIG. 8 shows the connection among the PFM controlling unit 60, reference voltage generating unit 40, first comparator 50 and logic unit 70 according to one exemplary embodiment of the present invention. The reference voltage generating unit 40 is configured to output a reference voltage according to a voltage output status selected from a plurality of voltage output statuses that correspond to and are directly proportional to the switch-on durations. The voltage output status is selected according to the switching status selecting signal.

The first comparator C1 connected with the reference voltage generating unit 40 and the logic unit 70. The first comparator C1 includes a positive input terminal connected with the current feedback signal S2, and a negative input terminal connected with a output terminal of the reference voltage generating unit 40. The first comparator C1 also includes an output terminal configured to output a pulse width modulation (PMW) controlling signal according to the reference voltage and a current feedback signal that reflects a current change of the main circuit 20.

In some exemplary embodiments of the present invention, the reference voltage generating unit 40 may be configured to output a reference voltage according to a voltage output status selected from ten voltage output statuses corresponding to ten four-digit binary numbers of the reversible counter. And as mention above, the decoder 140 may be configured to convert the status selected and output by the encoder 130 (reversible counter) to the switching status selecting signal. The reference voltage generating unit 40 may therefore be configured to output ten reference voltages according to the switching status selecting signal S5. In one example, the reference voltage generating unit 40 comprises ten voltage divided resistors and ten voltage output switches, and is connected to a system voltage; and the decoder 140 is a 4-16 decoder. When the reversible counter outputs a count value, the decoder 140 converts the count value to ten switching status selecting signals to control ten voltage output switches to switch-on or off, and the reference voltage generating unit 40 may output a reference voltage.

The first comparator 50 may be configured to compare the reference voltage with the current feedback signal S2 and output the comparison result. The first comparator C1 may therefore be configured to output different comparison results according to count values output by the reversible counter, and the PMW controlling signal may be generated to determine the switch-on duration of the switching controlling signal S8.

The PFM controlling unit 60 may comprise an inverter connected to the switching status selecting unit 30, and configured to output a PFM controlling signal with a frequency according a frequency output status select from a plurality of frequency output statuses according to the switching status selecting signal S5. The inverter may be configured to output a PFM controlling signal S6 with the same frequency as the frequency output status selected according to the switching status selecting signal. In one example, the inverter comprises a multi-inverter and a square wave oscillator with a frequency. The multi-inverter may be a ten-way inverter. There may be ten frequency output statuses each of which has a frequency. The frequencies of the frequency output statuses from large to small correspond to the ten four-digit binary numbers from small to large. When the reversible counter outputs a count value, the decoder 140 converts the count value to ten switching status selecting signals to control ten ways of the multi-inverter, and the square wave oscillator may outputs a square wave with a reference voltage. The inverter may output different PFM controlling signals according to count values output by the reversible counter to determine the frequency of the switching controlling signal S8.

The logic unit 70 may comprise an RS trigger. The RS trigger may include an R terminal connected to an output terminal of the first comparator 50, an S terminal connected to an output terminal of the PFM controlling unit 60, and a Q terminal configured to output a switching controlling signal.

FIG. 9 is a schematic diagram of a SMPS 100 according to exemplary embodiments of the present invention. The SMPS 100 comprises a SMPS controlling circuit 10 and a main circuit 20. In some exemplary embodiments of the present invention, the main circuit 20 is an isolated power converting circuit or non-isolated power converting circuit. In one example, the isolated power converting circuit comprises a transformer Lp, a power switch Q1, a diode D7, a capacitor C4 and a resistor R5. The transformer Lp comprises a primary wind A and a secondary wind B. As shown in FIG. 9, the SMPS controlling circuit 10 further comprises a first sampling unit 90 and a second sampling unit R8. The first sampling unit 90 comprises an auxiliary wind C, resistors R6 and R7 and a sampling maintaining unit. The voltage feedback signal S1 is a voltage signal inducted by the auxiliary wind, divided by R6 and R7 and rectified by the sampling maintaining unit. The voltage feedback signal S1 may reflect the change of the main circuit 20. In some exemplary embodiments of the present invention, the first sampling circuit is an optical coupler that feedbacks the output voltage of the main circuit to the SMPS controlling circuit 10.

Referring to FIGS. 1-9, the exemplary operation principle of exemplary embodiments of the present invention is described below. When the SMPS enters a stable voltage mode, the second comparator C2 compares the voltage feedback signal and the first reference voltage Vref1, and the third comparator C3 compares the voltage feedback signal and the second reference voltage Vref2. The first reference voltage may be less than the second reference voltage. When the voltage feedback signal is larger than the second reference voltage, that is to say the output voltage of the main circuit is high, the second comparator C2 outputs a count enable signal to the encoder. The count enable signal is high and may control the encoder to increase by one based on the present count value. The decoder then inverts the count value into the switching status selecting signal, and outputs the switching status selecting signal to the PFM controlling unit and the reference voltage generating unit. The increased one count value corresponds to the decreased frequency output status of the PFM controlling unit.

The PFM controlling unit outputs the decreased PFM controlling signal to the S terminal of the RS trigger, which leads the frequency of the switching controlling signal to decrease. Furthermore, the increased one count value corresponds to the decreased voltage output status of the reference voltage generating unit. The reference voltage generating unit outputs the decreased voltage to the negative input terminal of the first comparator. The first comparator C1 compares the current feedback signal with the decreased the reference voltage, and outputs the PWM controlling signal to the R terminal of the RS trigger, which leads the switch-on duration of the switching controlling signal to decrease. And the decreased switching controlling signal may be obtained, so the switch-on duration and the frequency of the power switch are decreased to decrease the output voltage of the main circuit.

When the voltage feedback signal is less than the second reference voltage, that is to say the output voltage of the main circuit is low, the second comparator C2 outputs a count enable signal to the encoder. The count enable signal is low and may control the encoder to decrease by one based on the present count value. The decoder then inverts the count value into the switching status selecting signal, and outputs the switching status selecting signal to the PFM controlling unit and the reference voltage generating unit. The decreased one count value corresponds to the increased frequency output status of the PFM controlling unit. The PFM controlling unit outputs the decreased PFM controlling signal to the S terminal of the RS trigger, which leads the frequency of the switching controlling signal to increase. Furthermore, the decreased one count value corresponds to the increased voltage output status of the reference voltage generating unit. The reference voltage generating unit outputs the increased voltage to the negative input terminal of the first comparator. The first comparator compares the current feedback signal with the increased the reference voltage and outputs the PWM controlling signal to the R terminal of the RS trigger, which leads the switch-on duration of the switching controlling signal to increase. And the increased switching controlling signal may be obtained, so the switch-on on duration and the frequency of the power switch are increased to increase the output voltage of the main circuit.

In another instance, the voltage feedback signal is less than the first reference voltage, that is to say a transient overload or a transient short circuit appears in the SMPS. In this instance, the second comparator outputs a reset enable signal to the encoder. The reset enable signal is high and may control the encoder to output the minimum count value. So the increased switching controlling signal may be with the maximum switch-on duration and the highest frequency to drive the power switch, and the undershoot voltage of the SMPS may be decreased.

If the count enable signal maintains high, the encoder will continuously increase one. To avoid the overflow appearing, the overflow protection unit is configured to control the reversible counter to maintain the maximum or minimum count value until the reversible counter changes the count direction when the reversible counter overflows.

To improve the stability of the SMPS controlling circuit, in some exemplary embodiments of the present invention, the switching status selecting unit further comprises a encoding maintaining unit configured to maintain each status of the reversible counter for one or more switching cycle until the switching cycle ends or the reversible counter changes the count direction.
