CIRCUIT ARRANGEMENT COMPRISING A POWER SUPPLY UNIT

Abstract: The circuit arrangement comprises a power supply unit with a first power supply only for the analogue signal processing part and for the control part of a respective device. For the digital signal processing part, a second, separate switched mode power supply is provided, which is switched off, when only the analogue signal processing part is active, and which is in operation, when the digital signal processing part is on. For switching on and off of the second switched mode power supply, the power supply comprises a switching circuit (18), which is coupled in a special embodiment to a control loop (15) on the secondary side, for switching off the second power supply at the primary side via a galvanic isolating means (14). The switching circuit is provided with a supply voltage (12VS) from the first power supply and receives the on/off command from the control part, e. g. a microprocessor. The power supply unit is used advantageously within a D-VHS recorder, and the first power supply provides the power for the control part and the analogue circuit processing of the recorder. The second switched mode power supply is associated with the digital signal processing part. The second switched mode power supply is switched on for example, when a D-VHS tape is inserted into the recorder.

Description: Circuit arrangement comprising a power supply unit The invention refers to a circuit arrangement comprising an analogue signal processing part, a digital signal processing part and a power supply unit, as used for example within devices of audio and video equipment of consumer electronics.

The second switched mode power supply is especially a complete switched mode power supply coupled to the mains AC voltage. In one embodiment of the invention it is arranged separately on a printed circuit board. It comprises advantageously also a mains filter for reducing switching noise. Therefore, when the digital signal processing part together with its switched mode power supply is off, there exists no additional noise for the analogue signal processing part, which are very sensitive to noise of a switched mode power supply. Further, there is a considerable power consumption reduction as compared with a tape recorder with only one switched mode power supply, because both switched mode power supplies work with optimum efficiency. A further important advantage of the two-power-supply concept is that the digital signal processing part requires additional supply voltages, which can be easily provided by a second transformer. A power supply unit with only one mains transformer would require many secondary windings and additional output pins, which would demand for a special development of a bulky mains transformer. The invention is explained in more detail below, by way of an example, with reference to a schematic circuit diagram, in which the only figure shows a switched mode power supply for a digital signal processing part. The switched mode power supply according to the figure is arranged within a circuit arrangement as a second power supply associated with a digital signal processing circuit. It comprises a transformer TR with a primary winding l, an auxiliary winding 3 on the primary side, and a secondary winding 2 on the secondary side, providing mains isolation as known from current flyback converters . The input of the switched mode power supply is coupled to a 230 V AC mains voltage, which is filtered by a mains filter 1, rectified by a rectifier circuit 2 and smoothed by a charge capacitor Cl before applied to the primary winding Wl of the transformer TR. In series to the primary winding Wl a switching transistor Tl, for example a power MOSFET, and a sensing resistor Rl is arranged. In parallel to the primary winding Wl a clamp circuit 5 and in parallel to the switching transistor Tl a snubber network 3 is arranged for avoiding excessive voltage spikes, when the switching transistor Tl switches off. The switched mode power supply comprises a secondary regulation circuit 15 coupled to the +5V output voltage, for providing output voltage regulation. The secondary regulation circuit 15 derives an error signal from the 5V output voltage, which is guided via a galvanic isolating element, an opto-coupler 14, to the primary side and coupled to the driver circuit 8 of the switching transistor Tl . As a further regulation information the voltage above the sensing resistor Rl is used. Further control and protection circuits are arranged on the primary side of the switched mode power supply, which information signals are all summed up in a summing circuit 6. A summing circuit 6 of this kind is disclosed for example in US 5,867,373, which comprises a capacitor for summing up the currents . The information of the summing circuit 6 is used by a switch off and control circuit 7, for driving the switching transistor Tl via the driver circuit 8 by adjusting the duty cycle, so that the output voltages of the power supply, preferring the 5V output, are regulated. In detail, to one end of the auxiliary winding W3 an over- voltage protection circuit 9 is coupled, which stops the switched mode power supply directly via the driver circuit 0 0 0 Φ A ,β 4-4 - ø β Cn 4-1 H 4-1 0 . 0 4-1 CQ cn CQ rd n 4-1 rl β *o 4-> 4-1 H TJ Λ 0 0 0 rd -H β 0 0 O -H 0 Cn β n 0 4-1 0 4-> υ 0 4-> t> 4-> Cn 4-4 A β ,β β rH -rl 4-1 β Λ 0 CQ -H TJ rd -H rH 0 -H rd 0 ft CJ CQ U 4-1 4-1 -H 0 0 -H -H 4-1 0 4-1 β TJ 0 rl CQ β £ ft rH -. 4-1 -H o β rl ft β A ε O ø 0 4-1 J 0 0 β rd 0 β ft CQ -H α. -H TJ 4-1 β 4- ) υ o 4H β CJ TJ ,β -H 0 TJ CQ CD rH ft CQ & . 4J £ ■ ω U rd TJ β M 4J O ε 01 ft <-i 4-> H Cn β CQ -H rd 0 β 0 rH H CQ H ε A 0 U -H -rl -H -H β ø rd & β - β 4π 4-1 A CQ £ β 0 ft U rH 4-> TJ u rd υ £ β β TJ ε 4-1 ε rd .
