›BACKGROUND
(a) Field
Embodiments relate to a feedback circuit and a power supply device including the same. Particularly, Embodiments relate to a feedback circuit for preventing an output voltage overshoot of a power supply device and a power supply device including the same.
(b) Description of the Related Art
In a system in which a control loop for variation in output voltage is slow, the output voltage may be increased by overvoltage. A power supply device may be controlled so that fluctuation which is generated in an AC line connected to an input terminal is not reflected to the output voltage and current. To this end, a constant voltage and constant current control loop of the power supply device may be used, but response to the control loop may be slower as compared with rapid fluctuation in input voltage and a load.
For example, an overshoot of the output voltage may be generated during a start-up period of the power supply device. When the control loop is relatively slow, an operation of the power supply device for the fluctuation in the output voltage of the power supply device is not rapidly controlled.
In detail, when the power supply device is controlled by a pulse width modulation method, a pulse width modulation controller may control a duty cycle of a power switch according to feedback voltage corresponding to the fluctuation in the output voltage. When the control loop is slow, the feedback voltage does not respond promptly to the increase of the output voltage and particularly, the feedback voltage of the controller keeps in a maximum value while the output voltage increases during the start-up period. Then, an overshoot of the output voltage in an optimal level or more is generated while the feedback voltage keeps in a maximum value and until the feedback voltage is decreased at the optimal level by reacting to the overshoot of the output voltage, the output voltage is maintained by the overvoltage.
The overshoot and the overvoltage of the output voltage damage the load connected to the output terminal and components of the power supply device and excessively increase drain-source voltage of the power switch.
The problems may also occur in the case where the input voltage of the power supply device is rapidly increased or the load is rapidly fluctuated, as well as the start-up period.
The above information disclosed in this Background section is only for enhancement of understanding of the background of the invention and therefore it may contain information that does not form the prior art that is already known in this country to a person of ordinary skill in the art.

›DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS · 1 of 4
Embodiments will be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which embodiments are shown. As those skilled in the art would realize, the described embodiments may be modified in various different ways, all without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. The drawings and description are to be regarded as illustrative in nature and not restrictive. Like reference numerals designate like elements throughout the specification.
Throughout this specification and the claims that follow, when it is described that an element is “coupled” to another element, the element may be “directly coupled” to the other element or “electrically coupled” to the other element through a third element. In addition, unless explicitly described to the contrary, the word “comprise” and variations such as “comprises” or “comprising”, will be understood to imply the inclusion of stated elements but not the exclusion of any other elements.
FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a power supply device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in FIG. 1 , a power supply device 1 is implemented by a flyback converter. However, the flyback converter is only an exemplary embodiment of the present invention and the present invention is not limited thereto.
The power supply device 1 includes a bridge RC diode 10 , a power switch M, a switch controller 100 , a feedback circuit 200 , a transformer 20 , a RC diode D 1 , and an output capacitor C 2 .
The bridge RC diode 10 rectifies an AC input to generate input voltage VIN. The bridge RC diode 10 includes four diodes 11 to 14 .
A smooth capacitor C 1 smoothes a ripple component of the input voltage VIN.
The transformer 20 converts a primary side power generated by the input voltage VIN to transfer the converted power to a secondary side. The transformer 20 includes a first coil CO 1 disposed at the primary side and a second coil CO 2 disposed at the secondary side. The first coil CO 1 includes one end receiving the input voltage VIN and the other end connected to the power switch M. The second coil CO 2 is formed at the secondary side and voltage and current are generated at the second coil CO 2 by the power transferred from the primary side. The primary side and the secondary side are insulated from each other.
A winding ratio nps (the winding number ns of CO 2 /the winding number np of CO 1 ) is determined depending on the winding number of the first coil CO 1 and the winding number of the second coil CO 2 . A ratio V 2 /V 1 of the voltage V 1 of the first coil CO 1 to the voltage V 2 of the second coil CO 2 of the transformer 20 is proportional to the winding ratio nps and a ratio I 2 /I 1 of the current I 1 of the first coil CO 1 to the current I 2 of the second coil CO 2 is inversely proportional to the winding ratio nps.
The power supply device according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention is implemented by the flyback converter and includes the transformer as a unit for converting the input voltage to the output power, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Instead of the flyback converter, other non-insulating topology converter may be used.
The RC diode D 1 includes an anode connected to one end of the second coil CO 2 and a cathode connected to one end of an output capacitor C 4 . The RC diode D 1 rectifies the current I 2 flowing in the second coil CO 2 . The current IR flowing through the RC diode D 1 is supplied to a load or charges the output capacitor C 4 .
The output capacitor C 4 is charged by the current IR or discharged in order to supply the current to the load 2 .
The power switch M is connected to the first coil CO 1 and the current I 1 flowing in the first coil CO 1 is controlled by the switching operation of the power switch M. The current I 1 is increased while the power switch M is turned on and does not flow while the power switch M is turned off.
While the power switch M is turned on, the current I 1 is increased to store energy in the first coil CO 1 . In this case, since the RC diode D 1 is off, the current does not flow in the second coil CO 2 . While the power switch M is turned off, the current I 2 of the second coil CO 2 flows from the second coil CO 2 to the anode of the RC diode D 1 and is rectified through the RC diode D 1 to generate the current IR.
The power supply device 1 according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention supplies the power to the load 2 requiring a control of predetermined output voltage VOUT and predetermined output current IOUT. For example, the load 2 may be a light emitting device configured by a plurality of LED diodes.
Accordingly, the switch controller 100 receives feedback information on the output current VOUT and the output current IOUT and controls the switching operation of the power switch M so that the output voltage VOUT and the output current IOUT are constant.
When the output voltage VOUT or the output current IOUT is increased at an optimal level or more, the switch controller 100 decreases a duty of the power switch M to decrease the power transferred to the secondary side. On the other hand, when the output voltage VOUT is decreased at an optimal level or less, the switch controller 100 increases the duty of the power switch M to increase the power transferred to the secondary side. The output voltage VOUT and the output current IOUT are constantly maintained by the operation described above.
The feedback circuit 200 generates feedback voltage VFB corresponding to the output voltage VOUT and the output current IOUT to transfer the feedback voltage VFB to the switch controller 100 . The feedback voltage VFB varies depending on the output voltage VOUT and the output current IOUT.
The feedback circuit 200 generates a first sensing voltage VSE 1 corresponding to the output voltage VOUT and a second sensing voltage VSE 2 corresponding to the output current IOUT and generates the feedback voltage by using at least one of the first sensing voltage VSE 1 , the second sensing voltage VSE 2 , and the output voltage VOUT.
›DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS · 2 of 4
The feedback circuit 200 generates the first sensing voltage VSE 1 depending on a difference between the voltage corresponding to the output voltage VOUT and a predetermined first reference voltage. The feedback circuit 200 generates the second sensing voltage VSE 2 depending on a difference between the voltage corresponding to the output current IOUT and a predetermined second reference voltage.
The feedback circuit 200 includes a current feedback unit 220 , a voltage feedback unit 210 , three diodes D 2 to D 4 , two resistors R 4 and R 5 , a photo diode PD, and a photo transistor PT.
The voltage feedback unit 210 generates the first sensing voltage VSE 1 by amplifying a difference between voltage according to the output voltage VOUT (e.g., voltage in which the output voltage VOUT is resistance-distributed) and the first reference voltage.
The current feedback unit 220 generates the second sensing voltage VSE 2 by amplifying a difference between voltage adding voltage according to the output current IOUT (e.g., voltage generated when flowing through the resistor R 3 ) to the first reference voltage and the second reference voltage.
Hereinafter, the voltage adding voltage according to the output current IOUT to the first reference voltage is referred to as the voltage corresponding to the output current IOUT. The first sensing voltage VSE 1 and the second sensing voltage VSE 2 are connected to a contact point ND 1 and the diode D 2 and the resistor R 4 are connected between the output voltage VOUT and the contact point ND 1 . As a result, instead of the first sensing voltage VSE 1 and the second sensing voltage VSE 2 , the voltage corresponding to the output voltage VOUT is transferred to the contact point ND 1 without a delay from a time of generating the output voltage VOUT, while the output voltage VOUT is increased during the start-up period.
A predetermined delay exists between a change time when variation in the output voltage VOUT is reflected at the first sensing voltage VSE 1 and the second sensing voltage VSE 2 and a time when the variation in the output voltage VOUT is generated. The reason is because a control loop for the variation in the output voltage VOUT is actually slow. The delay may cause the overshoot generation of the output voltage VOUT during the start-up period.
The feedback circuit 200 according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes a configuration transferring the output voltage VOUT to the contact point ND 1 through the diode D 2 and the resistor R 4 in order to prevent the overshoot of the output voltage VOUT. When the overshoot of the output voltage VOUT is generated during the start-up period, the voltage of the contact point ND 1 is rapidly increased by the output voltage VOUT and the feedback voltage VFB is rapidly decreased. As a result, the overshoot of the output voltage VOUT may be rapidly transferred to the switch controller 100 .
In detail, the current flowing in the photo diode PD is determined depending on the contact point ND 1 and the current of the photo transistor PT is also determined depending on the current flowing in the photo diode PD. Accordingly, the overshoot of the output voltage VOUT is immediately reflected to the current flowing in the photo diode PD, such that the current flowing in the photo transistor PT is changed. In that case, the feedback voltage VFB is decreased, such that the switch controller 100 reduces the duty of the power switch M.
As such, the overshoot of the output voltage VOUT is immediately reflected to the switching operation of the power switch M, such that the output voltage VOUT can be rapidly stabilized.
The switch controller 100 generates a gate signal VG controlling the operation of the power switch M according to zero detecting voltage VZCD and the feedback voltage VFB. Power supply voltage VCC for the operation of the switch controller 100 is generated by a resistor R 1 and a capacitor C 2 .
The resistor R 1 includes one end connected to the input voltage VIN and the other end connected to one end of the capacitor C 2 . The other end of the capacitor C 2 is grounded. The power supply voltage VCC is supplied from the capacitor C 2 charged by the input voltage VIN.
An auxiliary coil CO 3 has a predetermined winding ratio and is insulatively coupled with the first coil CO 1 . One end of the auxiliary coil CO 3 is connected to one end of the resistor R 2 and the other end of the auxiliary coil CO 3 is grounded. The other end of the resistor R 2 is connected to a pin 2 and one end of a capacitor C 3 . The other end of the capacitor C 3 is grounded.
Voltage V 3 generated in the auxiliary coil CO 3 is transferred to the switch controller 100 through the resistor R 2 and the capacitor C 3 attenuates a noise of the voltage V 3 . The voltage V 3 becomes the zero detecting voltage VZCD through the resistor R 2 and the capacitor C 3 .
The switch controller 100 includes a pin 1 outputting the gate signal 1 , a pin 2 receiving the zero detecting voltage VZCD, a pin 3 receiving the power supply voltage VCC, and a pin 4 receiving the feedback voltage VFB.
The switch controller 100 turns-on the power switch M when the zero detecting voltage VZCD reaches predetermined turn-on reference voltage. In detail, when the zero detecting voltage VZCD is decreased after the turn-off of the power switch M and the decreased zero detecting voltage VZCD reaches the turn-on reference voltage, the gate signal VG which turns-on the power switch M is generated.
The switch controller 100 compares the feedback voltage VFB with a predetermined sawtooth wave and turns off the power switch M when the sawtooth wave reaches the feedback voltage VFB. The sawtooth wave according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention starts to increase from the turn-on time of the power switch M and decreases after a sawtooth wave signal reaches the feedback voltage VFB.
The switch controller 100 receives the feedback voltage VFB according to the current flowing in the photo transistor PT. The feedback voltage VFB decreases as the current flowing in the photo transistor PT increases and increases as the current decreases.
›DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS · 3 of 4
Accordingly, when the current flowing in the photo transistor PT is changed by changing the output voltage VOUT or the output current IOUT, the feedback voltage VFB is changed depending on the current flowing in the photo transistor PT.
For example, when the output voltage VOUT or the output current IOUT increases at an optimal level or more and the current flowing in the photo transistor PT increases, the feedback voltage VFB decreases and the duty of the power switch M decreases. When the output voltage VOUT decreases at an optimal level or less and the current flowing in the photo transistor PT decreases, the feedback voltage VFB increases and the duty of the power switch M increases.
Hereinafter, a configuration of a feedback circuit 200 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 2 .
FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a feedback circuit according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
When the diode D 2 is conducted by the output voltage VOUT, the output voltage VOUT is transferred to the contact point ND 1 through a resistor R 4 . In this case, voltage transferred to the contact point ND 1 by the conduction of the diode D 2 is determined by the resistor R 4 , a resistor R 5 , an on-resistor of the photo diode PD. However, the on-resistor of the photo diode PD may be ignored as a very small value as compared with the resistor R 4 and the resistor R 5 . Accordingly, a ratio of the resistor R 4 to the resistor R 5 may be set so that the voltage of the contact point ND 1 is determined according to the output voltage VOUT while the overshoot of the output voltage VOUT can be generated like the start-up period.
The voltage feedback unit 210 includes an operational amplifier 211 , three resistors R 6 to R 8 , and a capacitor C 5 .
The resistor R 7 and the resistor R 8 are connected between a contact point ND 2 and a ground in series and the contact point to which the resistor R 7 and the resistor R 8 are connected is connected to a non-inverting terminal (+) of the operational amplifier 211 . The output voltage VOUT is distributed to the resistor R 7 and the resistor R 8 and voltage inputted to the non-inverting terminal (+) of the operational amplifier 211 is VOUT*(R 8 /(R 7 +R 8 )).
A first reference voltage VREF 1 is inputted to an inverting terminal (−) of the operational amplifier 211 . The capacitor C 5 and the resistor R 6 are connected between the non-inverting terminal (+) and an output terminal of the operational amplifier 211 in series. The operational amplifier 211 generates the first sensing voltage VSE 1 by amplifying a difference between the voltage VOUT*(R 8 /(R 7 +R 8 )) corresponding to the output voltage VOUT and the first reference voltage VREF 1 .
The diode D 3 is connected between the output terminal of the operational amplifier 211 and the contact point ND 1 . When the diode D 3 is conducted by the first sensing voltage VSE 1 of the operational amplifier 211 , the first sensing voltage VSE 1 is transferred to the contact point ND 1 .
The current feedback unit 220 includes an operational amplifier 221 , four resistors R 9 , R 10 , R 11 , and R 12 , and a capacitor C 6 .
The resistor R 10 is connected between a contact point ND 3 and an inverting terminal (−) of the operational amplifier 221 . The resistor R 11 connected with the first reference voltage VREF 1 (in series is connected to the inverting terminal (−) together with the resistor R 10 as a parallel circuit. Accordingly, the voltage of the contact point ND 3 becomes the voltage corresponding to the output current IOUT by being added to the first reference voltage VREF 1 and the voltage corresponding to output current IOUT is inputted to the inverting terminal (−). Ground voltage is inputted to a non-inverting terminal (+) of the operational amplifier 221 as second reference voltage and the capacitor C 6 and the resistor R 9 are connected between the inverting terminal (−) and an output terminal of the operational amplifier 221 in series.
The operational amplifier 221 generates the second sensing voltage VSE 2 by amplifying a difference between the voltage corresponding to the output current IOUT and the ground voltage. The diode D 4 is connected between the output terminal of the operational amplifier 221 and the contact point ND 1 . When the diode D 4 is conducted by the second sensing voltage VSE 2 , the second sensing voltage VSE 2 reaches the contact point ND 1 .
As described above, among the first and the second sensing voltages VSE 1 and VSE 2 and the output voltage VOUT, the voltage transferred to the contact point ND 1 is selected. Hereinafter, the voltage of the contact point ND 1 is referred to as output sensing voltage VSE.
The feedback circuit according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention generates the feedback voltage by using the first sensing voltage corresponding to the voltage of the output power, the second sensing voltage corresponding to the current of the output power, and the output voltage. However, the present invention is not limited thereto and the feedback circuit may generate the feedback voltage by using the first sensing voltage and the output voltage during at least the start-up period.
Hereinafter, an operation of a power supply device will be described with reference to FIG. 3 .
FIG. 3 is a waveform diagram illustrating voltages generated during a start-up period of a power supply device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 3 shows input voltage VIN, power supply voltage VCC, output sensing voltage VSE, feedback voltage VFB, and output voltage VOUT.
When the power supply device 1 is powered-on at a time T 1 , the input voltage VIN is generated. The power supply voltage VCC starts to increase by the input voltage VIN from the time T 1 . Before the power supply voltage VCC reaches a predetermined level of reference voltage VR 1 , the power switch M does not perform the switching operation.
›DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS · 4 of 4
When the power supply voltage VCC reaches the reference voltage VR 1 at a time T 2 , the power switch M starts to operate the switching and the output voltage VOUT starts to increase from the time T 2 . As described above, after the delay time elapses from the time T 2 , the first sensing voltage VSE 1 and the second sensing voltage VSE 2 are generated. Accordingly, while the delay time elapses from the time T 2 , the output voltage VOUT is transferred to the contact point ND 1 through the diode D 2 and the resistor R 4 .
Therefore, the output sensing voltage VSE is generated from the time T 2 and is determined depending on the output voltage VOUT. The feedback voltage VFB rapidly increases as a maximum feedback voltage VFMX at the time T 2 because the output sensing voltage VSE is low.
After the time T 2 , the output sensing voltage VSE also increases according to the increasing output voltage VOUT and the feedback voltage VFB decreases. The output voltage VOUT reaches a rated voltage RAV at a time T 3 and the feedback voltage VFB also reaches a reference voltage VR 2 according to the output sensing voltage VSE. When the feedback voltage VFB is maintained as the reference voltage VR 2 , the output voltage VOUT is maintained as the rated voltage RAV.
As shown in FIG. 3 , during the start-up period of time when the power supply device 1 is powered-on and the output voltage VOUT is stabilized as the rated voltage, the overshoot of the output voltage VOUT does not occur.
However, in a known power supply device, the feedback voltage corresponds to variation in the output voltage to generate the delay, such that the overshoot occurs.
FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating voltage generated during an operation of a known power supply device. In detail, FIG. 4 shows the case where a path formed between the output voltage VOUT and the photo diode PD through the diode D 2 and the resistor R 4 according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention does not exist. Hereinafter, input voltage, power supply voltage, output sensing voltage, feedback voltage, and output voltage are not the voltages of the power supply device according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in FIG. 4 , the power supply device is powered-on at a time T 4 and the power supply voltage increases during the periods of time T 4 to T 5 .
The switching operation is generated from the time T 5 and the output voltage starts to increase. The output voltage of the time T 5 is low and the delay of the output sensing voltage continues up to a time T 7 , such that the feedback voltage increasing at the maximum feedback voltage at the time T 5 is maintained at the maximum feedback voltage up to the time T 7 . Then, the output voltage reaches the rated voltage at the time T 6 , but the overshoot of the output voltage occurs by the feedback voltage which is maintained at the maximum feedback voltage up to the time T 7 due to the delay.
After the time T 7 , the output sensing voltage is generated and the feedback voltage starts to decrease. In addition, the output voltage starts to decrease by the feedback voltage decreasing from the time T 7 and the output voltage is stabilized at a time T 8 .
As described above, the overshoot of the output voltage occurs during the time T 6 to the time T 8 and the output voltage is in an over-voltage state.
Unlike the related art, the feedback circuit 200 according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention generates the feedback voltage VFB without the delay of the output voltage VOUT, such that the overshoot of the output voltage VOUT can be prevented.
While this invention has been described in connection with what is presently considered to be practical exemplary embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments, but, on the contrary, is intended to cover various modifications and equivalent arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
