Abstract

The invention discloses a working size switching circuit for power transistors in a DC-DC converter, mainly solving the problem of difficulty in reaching high efficiency by the traditional DC-DC converter when in a low load state. The working size switching circuit comprises a pulse width modulation (PWM) comparing module, a first drive module, a first pair of power MOS (Metal Oxide Semiconductor) transistors, a hysteresis comparing module, a second drive module and a second pair of power MOS transistors, wherein the PWM comparing module controls the first pair of power MOS transistors to work through the first drive module; the hysteresis comparing module compares a load current with a switching threshold current to generate a judging signal and controls that the second pair of power MOS transistors does not work when the load current is lower than the switching threshold current through the second drive module and the second pair of power MOS transistors works when the load current is more than the switching threshold current, so that actually working power transistors of the DC-DC converter are different in quantity under same load conditions, and the working size of the power transistors are switched. According to the working size switching circuit, the efficiency of the DC-DC converter when in the light load state can be increased, and load currents corresponding to the switching of the working sizes of the power transistors are constant under various working duty ratios.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to a DC-DC converter in a large-scale analog integrated circuit, in particular to a power tube size adjustment circuit in the converter, which can be used in a DC-DC converter. Background technique [0002] As an important power management circuit, DC-DC converters are widely used in various portable products such as mobile phones, MP3 players, and digital cameras. According to the relationship between output and input voltage, DC-DC converters can usually be divided into three categories: step-up DC-DC converters, step-down DC-DC converters, and step-down DC-DC converters. Each type of DC-DC is divided into current mode control DC-DC and voltage mode control DC-DC according to the chip control loop. Compared with linear regulators, switching power management chips, such as DC-DC converters, have the biggest advantage of high efficiency. Therefore, in recent years, low power consumption and high efficiency designs have become pop...
