    摘要: A switching power supply apparatus includes a transformer or an inductor, a switching element connected to the transformer or the inductor and configured to perform switching of an input power supply, and a switching control circuit including a digital control circuit configured to sample voltage values and/or current values and control on and off of the switching element in accordance with the voltage values and/or current values. The number of points of sampling is set to n or more points, where n is an integer greater than 3, in an ON period of the switching element except at around a turn-on point or a turn-off point of the switching element. The presence or absence of magnetic saturation of the transformer or the inductor is detected on the basis of whether or not a slope of change in current value over time is larger than a predetermined value, and circuit operation is protected from the effect of magnetic saturation. Thus, the presence or absence of magnetic saturation can be rapidly and precisely detected without the influence of switching noise.

    摘要: A DC-DC converter includes an inductor, a capacitor, an output voltage detection circuit, and a synchronous rectification circuit including a rectifier-side synchronous rectifier element and a commutator-side synchronous rectifier element. The commutator-side synchronous rectifier element is turned on so as to pass a current through a closed loop composed of the commutator-side synchronous rectifier element, the inductor, and a second secondary battery. The characteristic evaluation of the second secondary battery is performed on the basis of the decrease in a detection voltage Vout of an output voltage Vo. As a result, it is possible to determine the effective capacity or characteristic degradation state of the second secondary battery with a circuit to charge the second secondary battery without using a dedicated circuit.

    摘要: A DC-DC converter includes a resonant coil (Lr) for zero voltage switching, the resonant coil being connected in series to a primary winding (Np), and a full-bridge switching circuit driven by phase shift control. The DC-DC converter includes a first regenerative diode (D7) disposed between a connection between the primary winding (Np) and the resonant coil (Lr) and a first terminal of an input power supply (Vin) and a second regenerative diode (D8) disposed between the connection and a second terminal of the input power supply (Vin). This structure enables a surge resulting from a reverse recovery current in rectifier diodes (D1, D2) at the secondary side to be regenerated to the input power supply via the regenerative diodes (D7, D8), thus reducing a surge voltage applied to the rectifier diodes (D1, D2). As a result, a rectifier diode that has a low breakdown voltage and a small forward voltage drop can be used. The loss caused by a forward current in the rectifier diodes can be reduced. Additionally, the loss in the regenerative diodes (D7, D8) can also be reduced, compared with when a snubber circuit is provided in the secondary side.

    摘要: A switching power supply circuit reduces the time from start-up driving to normal operation while a soft-start is carried out with an output voltage Vout. A soft-start capacitor is charged during the start-up time. After a soft-start voltage Vz has reached a predetermined signal-output starting voltage Vlow, soft start of the output voltage Vout is carried out by controlling the operation based on the soft-start voltage Vz. A time constant for charging the soft-start capacitor is set as a time constant that causes the charge voltage of the soft-start capacitor to sharply increase at least until the soft-start voltage Vz reaches the signal-output starting voltage Vlow after the circuit has started driving, and is switched to a time constant that causes a rising trend of the charge voltage of the soft-start capacitor to become gentle with a predetermined time-constant switching timing. The start-up time is reduced by an amount equivalent to a reduction in the delay time from the start of driving to the start of voltage output.

    摘要: A DC-DC converter includes a primary side circuit for allowing a switching device to perform on/off operations to output energy in a primary coil of a transformer to a secondary coil. A secondary side circuit rectifies and smooths a voltage outputted from the secondary coil so as to output a DC-DC voltage. A voltage-detecting circuit rectifies and smooths a voltage outputted from a voltage-detecting coil provided in the transformer so as to output the voltage as a detected voltage corresponding to a voltage to be outputted from the secondary side circuit. A control circuit applies to the switching device a pulse control signal used for controlling on/off operation of the switching device according to the voltage outputted from the voltage-detecting circuit. A primary side current-detecting circuit converts a working current in the primary side circuit, the working current corresponding to a current in the secondary side circuit, for performing detection thereof, and for superposing the thus detected voltage corresponding to the working current with the detected voltage outputted from the voltage-detecting circuit so as to compensate for an amount of variation of an output voltage of the secondary side circuit. The variation is attributed to a variation of the working current in the secondary side circuit. A voltage determined by the superposed voltage is applied to the control circuit.

    摘要: A switching power-supply module includes a coil pattern of a transformer or an inductor disposed on a substrate. A portion of the coil pattern projects into an edge portion of the substrate. A plurality of terminals are arranged in the substrate edge portion so that they do not touch the coil pattern. The substrate edge portion is soaked in molten solder in the production procedure in order to fix the terminals onto the substrate with solder after components are solder-connected on the substrate. For this reason, the components were previously prohibited from being mounted in the substrate edge portion, and this region has been previously considered to be a dead space. However, in the present invention, since a portion of the coil pattern projects into the substrate edge portion, dead space is minimized, and the size of the substrate, that is, of the switching power supply module is greatly reduced.
