摘要:
An object of the present invention is to provide a DC-DC converter control circuit capable of maintaining, even when any one of a plural number of DC-DC converters enters the abnormal state due to the occurrence of a failure, a voltage relationship between the output voltage of the faulty DC-DC converter and the output voltage of another DC-DC converter. An error amplifier ERA1G has an inverting input, a first non-inverting input, and a second non-inverting input. A first divided voltage VV1 provided from a first voltage divider circuit VD1 is fed into the inverting input; a reference voltage e1G from ground is fed into the first non-inverting input; and a second divided voltage VV2 provided from a second voltage divider circuit VD2 is fed into the second non-inverting input. The error amplifier ERA1G amplifies the error between the lower of the two voltage inputs fed into the two non-inverting inputs (i.e. the lower of the reference voltage e1G and the second divided voltage VV2), and the first divided voltage VV1 fed into the inverting input. The output terminal of the error amplifier ERA1G is connected to the input terminal of a PWM unit P1G.
摘要:
An object of the present invention is to provide a DC-DC converter control circuit that, even when a plurality of output voltages of DC-DC converters is controlled independently of one another, can maintain a predetermined relationship of voltages established among the output voltages. A first reference voltage with which a high-potential back-gate voltage is controlled and a second reference voltage with which a supply voltage is controlled are dynamically controlled to be varied independently from one another. A supply voltage is applied to the inverting input terminal of a second differential-input amplifier. The second reference voltage is applied to the first non-inverting input terminal of the second differential-input amplifier, and the first reference voltage for a first DC-DC converter is applied to the second non-inverting input terminal thereof. The second differential-input amplifier amplifies the difference between a lower one of the first and second reference voltages applied to the two non-inverting input terminals thereof and the supply voltage applied to the inverting input terminal thereof.

A DC-DC converter for generating power supply voltage differing from input voltage, while operating a semiconductor circuit at a predetermined speed regardless of differences between devices or changes in the operation environment. An output voltage control circuit compares an oscillation signal, which is provided from a ring oscillator of the semiconductor circuit, with a triangular wave signal, which is provided from an oscillator of the DC-DC converter, and changes the output voltage of the DC-DC converter in accordance with the comparison result. This substantially equalizes the oscillation signal of the ring oscillator with the triangular wave signal, which functions as a reference signal, and operates the semiconductor circuit at a speed that is in accordance with the triangular wave signal.

A reference voltage generating circuit generates a reference voltage Vref. An A/D converting circuit compares an analog input voltage Vin with the reference voltage Vref to convert the analog input voltage Vin to a digital output value Dout. A measured value storing circuit stores a measured value of the reference voltage Vref in advance and outputs the stored measured value. A user of an A/D converter corrects the digital output value Dout from the A/D converting circuit by use of the measured value of the reference voltage Vref outputted from the measured value storing circuit, thereby obtaining a digital value representing the analog input voltage Vin accurately irrespective of the accuracy of the reference voltage Vref.

摘要:
A self-excited multi-phase DC-DC converter having satisfactory responsiveness when its load suddenly changes. A control unit of the converter compares output currents of first and second converter units. Based on the comparison result, the control unit generates control signals to operate a converter unit through which a smaller output current flows. For example, when an output voltage of the converter decreases due to a sudden change in the load while the first converter unit is operating to supply current, the second converter unit through which a smaller output current flows is operated to increase the output voltage.

Furthermore, the control circuit includes a circuit for discharging charges corresponding to the output voltage of the DC/DC result when a power supply to the control circuit is turned off.

A battery charge control circuit, a battery charging device, and a battery charge control method for controlling the charging of a battery are provided. A power source supplies a current to a load, and a battery also supplies a current to the load. If the current supply capacity of the power source is restricted when the power source charges the battery, the charging of the battery is not stopped. Thus, a wrong operation can be avoided, and more reliable battery charging can be performed.
