In today's electronic world, power plays a crucial role. The push-pull switching power supply has become an ideal choice in many fields due to its unique advantages. Whether in precision instruments, communication equipment, or consumer electronics and household appliances, it has demonstrated excellent performance and reliability.
Operational principle of push-pull switching power supply
The direct current at the input end supplies power to the power supply pins of the chip through the startup circuit, and the VDD charges the capacitor after being powered on. When the operating voltage of the chip is reached, the chip begins to work, and the OUTA outputs a high level. The upper MOSFET conducts, and the current flows through the main winding of the transformer to charge the lower capacitor. The transformer converts electrical energy into magnetic energy, while the output winding converts magnetic energy into electrical energy for the load. After the upper MOSFET conducts for a period of time, it stops, the lower MOSFET conducts, and the lower capacitor discharges. Continuously repeating this process, the voltage at the output end is passed through a voltage divider to the relevant pins of the chip.
