Abstract: The invention discloses a self-adaptive synchronous rectification control system and a self-adaptive synchronous rectification control method of an active clamp flyback converter. The control system comprises a sampling and signal processing circuit, a control circuit with a microcontroller as a core and a gate driver. According to the control method, a switching-on state, an early switching-off state, a late switching-off state and an exact switching-off state of a secondary synchronous rectifier of the active clamp flyback converter can be directly detected, and the synchronous rectifier and a switching-on time of the synchronous rectifier in next cycle can be controlled according to a detection result. After several cycles of self-adaptive control, the synchronous rectifier enters the exact switching-on state, thus avoiding oscillation of an output waveform of the active clamp flyback converter.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a high-threshold power semiconductor device and a manufacturing method thereof. The high-threshold power semiconductor device includes, in sequence from bottom to top: a metal drain electrode, a substrate, a buffer layer, and a drift region; further including: a composite column body which is jointly formed by a drift region protrusion, a columnar p-region and a columnar n-region on the drift region, a channel layer, a passivation layer, a dielectric layer, a heavily doped semiconductor layer, a metal gate electrode and a source metal electrode. The composite column body is formed by sequentially depositing a p-type semiconductor layer and an n-type semiconductor layer on the drift region and then etching same. The channel layer and the passivation layer are formed in sequence by deposition. Thus, the above devices are divided into a cell region and a terminal region. The dielectric layer, the heavily doped semiconductor layer, the metal gate electrode and the source metal electrode only exist in the cell region, and the passivation layer of the terminal region extends upwards and is wrapped outside the channel layer. This structure can increase a threshold voltage of the device, improve the blocking characteristics of the device and reduce the size of a gate capacitance.

Abstract: A multi-phase high-precision current sharing control method applied to constant on-time control is provided, wherein a current difference between continuously sampled current of each line and mean current is processed by a PI compensation module and a low-pass filter module to obtain on-time regulation data. A high bit of the regulation data controls the value of counter reference Vref in an on-time control module, and a low bit controls the length of an enabled delay line in a delay line module. The counter timing control of the on-time control module is combined with the delay line timing control of the delay line module to improve the control precision of a DPWM. The method takes COT control of a Buck converter as a typical application. Compared with a multi-phase COT controller without a current-sharing mechanism, the method can improve the stability and reliability of the system.
