技术领域technical field

本发明涉及电压调节技术领域,具体涉及一种可自动调整压差以提高整体转换效率的电源系统。The invention relates to the technical field of voltage regulation, in particular to a power supply system that can automatically adjust the voltage difference to improve the overall conversion efficiency.

背景技术Background technique

在实际的供电应用中,经常需要在DC-DC(direct current-direct current;直流-直流)转换器后级联一个或多个LDO(low dropout;低调节压差)线性稳压器,或者在DC-DC转换器后级联一个或多个电荷泵。参照图1(1-a至1-d)),其中,图1-a所示由DC-DC转换器10级联LDO线性稳压器11所组成的电源管理系统;图1-b所示由DC-DC转换器10级联电荷泵12所组成的电源管理系统;图1-c所示由DC-DC转换器10级联LDO线性稳压器11和电荷泵12所组成的电源管理系统;以及图1-d所示由DC-DC转换器10级联多个LDO线性稳压器11和多个电荷泵12所组成的电源管理系统;其中,LDO线性稳压器11和电荷泵12的输入电压均需要比输出电压高出预定的调节压差(headroom或dropout)才能正常工作。In practical power supply applications, it is often necessary to cascade one or more LDO (low dropout; low regulation dropout) linear regulators after the DC-DC (direct current-direct current; DC-DC) converter, or in One or more charge pumps are cascaded after the DC-DC converter. Referring to Figure 1 (1-a to 1-d)), Figure 1-a shows a power management system composed of DC-DC converters 10 cascaded LDO linear regulators 11; Figure 1-b shows A power management system composed of a DC-DC converter 10 cascading a charge pump 12; the power management system composed of a DC-DC converter 10 cascading an LDO linear regulator 11 and a charge pump 12 as shown in Figure 1-c ; And as shown in FIG. 1-d, a power management system composed of a plurality of LDO linear regulators 11 and a plurality of charge pumps 12 is cascaded by a DC-DC converter 10; wherein, the LDO linear regulator 11 and the charge pump 12 The input voltage needs to be higher than the output voltage by a predetermined regulation dropout (headroom or dropout) to work properly.

如图1-a所示,DC-DC转换器10用于将输入电压Vin转成第一输出电压Vreg,而LDO线性稳压器11则是用于将第一输出电压Vreg转成第二输出电压Vldo,其中Vreg须比Vldo高出预定的调节压差;如图1-b所示,DC-DC转换器10用于将输入电压Vin转成第一输出电压Vreg,而电荷泵12则是用于将第一输出电压Vreg转成第二输出电压Vcp,其中Vreg须比Vcp高出预定的调节压差;如图1-c所示,DC-DC转换器10用于将输入电压Vin转成第一输出电压Vreg,LDO线性稳压器11是用于将第一输出电压Vreg转成第二输出电压Vldo,且电荷泵12是用于将第一输出电压Vreg转成第三输出电压Vcp,其中Vreg须比Vldo高出预定的第一调节压差且须比Vcp高出预定的第二调节压差;以及如图1-d所示,DC-DC转换器10用于将输入电压Vin转成第一输出电压Vreg,各LDO线性稳压器11是用于将第一输出电压Vreg转成第二输出电压Vldoi,i为1到n之间的正整数,且各电荷泵12是用于将第一输出电压Vreg转成第三输出电压Vcpi,i为1到n之间的正整数,其中Vreg须比各Vldoi高出预定的第一调节压差且须比各Vcpi高出预定的第二调节压差,也就是说,Vreg须足够高以确保各LDO线性稳压器11及各电荷泵12均能正常工作。As shown in FIG. 1-a, the DC-DC converter 10 is used to convert the input voltage Vin to the first output voltage Vreg , and the LDO linear regulator 11 is used to convert the first output voltage Vreg to The second output voltage Vldo , where Vreg must be higher than Vldo by a predetermined regulation voltage difference; as shown in FIG. 1-b, the DC-DC converter 10 is used to convert the input voltage Vin into the first output voltage Vreg , and the charge pump 12 is used to convert the first output voltage Vreg into the second output voltage Vcp , where Vreg must be higher than Vcp by a predetermined regulation voltage difference; as shown in FIG. 1-c, DC The DC converter 10 is used to convert the input voltage Vin to the first output voltage Vreg , the LDO linear regulator 11 is used to convert the first output voltage Vreg to the second output voltage Vldo , and the charge pump 12 is used to convert the first output voltage Vreg into a third output voltage Vcp , wherein Vreg must be higher than Vldo by a predetermined first regulation voltage difference and must be higher than Vcp by a predetermined second regulation voltage difference; And as shown in FIG. 1-d, the DC-DC converter 10 is used to convert the input voltageVin into the first output voltage Vreg , and each LDO linear regulator 11 is used to convert the first output voltage Vreg into the first output voltage V reg . The second output voltage Vldoi , i is a positive integer between 1 and n, and each charge pump 12 is used to convert the first output voltage Vreg into the third output voltage Vcpi , where i is between 1 and n A positive integer where Vreg must be higher than each Vldoi by a predetermined first regulation differential and must be higher than each Vcpi by a predetermined second regulation differential, that is, Vreg must be high enough to ensure that each LDO is linear The voltage regulator 11 and each charge pump 12 can work normally.

另外,在电压调节系统中,调节压差一般会根据最大负载条件确定,且调节压差在确定后,在整个工作期间就不会再改变。另外,电压调节系统的复合效率等于DC-DC转换器的效率乘以LDO线性稳压器或者电荷泵的效率,而LDO线性稳压器和电荷泵的理想最大效率η是与调节压差直接相关,该理想最大效率η可表示如下式:In addition, in the voltage regulation system, the regulation pressure difference is generally determined according to the maximum load condition, and after the regulation pressure difference is determined, it will not change during the whole working period. In addition, the compound efficiency of the voltage regulation system is equal to the efficiency of the DC-DC converter multiplied by the efficiency of the LDO linear regulator or charge pump, and the ideal maximum efficiency η of the LDO linear regulator and charge pump is directly related to the regulation dropout , the ideal maximum efficiency η can be expressed as follows:

其中,Vldo为LDO线性稳压器的输出电压,Vdropout为该LDO线性稳压器的调节压差。Wherein, Vldo is the output voltage of the LDO linear regulator, and Vdropout is the regulation voltage drop of the LDO linear regulator.

由上述可知,调节压差Vdropout越大/越小,理想最大效率η就越低/越高。It can be seen from the above that the larger/smaller the adjustment pressure difference Vdropout is, the lower/higher the ideal maximum efficiency η is.

也就是说,现有技术是根据实际应用中的最大负载要求设定调节压差Vdropout,一旦调节压差Vdropout确定后,调节压差Vdropout在整个工作期间保持不变。参见图2所示的关系曲线图,现有电压调节系统在各种负载电流Iload下皆以固定的调节压差Vdp将Vreg转成Vldoi和Vcpi。然而,由于现有电压调节系统在轻载时只需较小的调节压差Vdp即可正常操作,因此,现有电压调节系统采用固定调节压差Vdp的方法在轻载时的电压转换效率较低。That is to say, in the prior art, the adjustment pressure difference Vdropout is set according to the maximum load requirement in practical applications. Once the adjustment pressure difference Vdropout is determined, the adjustment pressure difference Vdropout remains unchanged during the entire working period. Referring to the relationship graph shown in FIG. 2 , the existing voltage regulation system converts Vreg into Vldoi and Vcpi with a fixed regulation voltage difference Vdp under various load currents Iload . However, since the existing voltage regulation system only needs a small regulation voltage difference Vdp to operate normally at light load, the existing voltage regulation system adopts the method of fixing the regulation voltage difference Vdp to convert the voltage at light load less efficient.

为解决上述技术问题,本领域亟需一种新的电压调节系统。To solve the above technical problems, a new voltage regulation system is urgently needed in the art.
