Design of a Highly Accuracy PSR CC/CV AC–DC Converter Based on a Cable Compensation Scheme Without an External Capacitor

Abstract

With the development of portable electronic products, the requirement for chargers is also getting higher. In this paper, a high-accuracy constant output current/constant output voltage (CC/CV) ac–dc flyback converter is proposed and a novel cable compensation method without external capacitor is put forward. The converter adopts primary-side regulation (PSR) scheme, detecting the output voltage through the auxiliary winding, and adjusting switching frequency to achieve output voltage constant in CV mode. Compared to conventional cable compensation module, the proposed circuit applies a method of pre-filtering, averaging, and re-filtering, to obtain the compensation voltage. This method eliminates the need of external capacitor, reducing cost and increasing reliability of the converter. In CC mode, the switching period is adjusted to be fixed multiple of the demagnetization time, thereby realizing the constant current output. The control chip was implemented in NEC 1 μm HVCMOS process, and a 5-V/1-A prototype has been built to verify its feasibility. Experimental results show that the deviations of output voltage and current are within ±0.9% and ±3% under different inputs and loads, while maximum conversion efficiency can reach a level of 78.2%.
