Abstract

Abstract Translated from French La présente invention concerne la protection d'alimenta­tions à découpage contre des surcharges prolongées. The present invention relates to the protection of switching power supplies against prolonged overloads. Ce dispositif de protection s'applique à des alimen­tations à découpage comprenant un commutateur principal (T P ) commandé par des signaux de sortie d'une bascule (50) dont les entrées reçoivent des signaux de commande de régulation, un premier circuit de protection (60, 92) fournissant sur l'entrée de remise à zéro (R) de la bascule des signaux prioritaires par rap­port aux signaux de régulation. Ce dispositif comprend un moyen de détection (100) des cycles pour lesquels le premier circuit de protection entre en action ; un moyen de mémorisation (102) accu­mulant à chaque cycle une valeur proportionnelle à la durée entre un signal du moyen de détection et le signal de mise à 1 lié au signal de régulation du cycle suivant, et des moyens d'inhibition (58) de la bascule (50) quand le moyen de mémorisation (102) a accumulé un signal supérieur à un seuil prédéterminé (VRef). This protection device applies to switching power supplies comprising a main switch (T P ) controlled by output signals from a flip-flop (50) whose inputs receive regulation control signals, a first protection circuit ( 60, 92) providing priority reset signals over regulation signals on the reset input (R) of the flip-flop. This device comprises means for detecting (100) the cycles for which the first protection circuit comes into action; a memory means (102) accumulating at each cycle a value proportional to the duration between a signal from the detection means and the reset signal linked to the regulation signal of the next cycle, and means for inhibiting (58) the flip-flop (50) when the storage means (102) has accumulated a signal greater than a predetermined threshold (VRef).
