Hello everyone, today we will learn about the 4-switch buck and boost circuit in the Apple A2337 circuit

2

00:00:10,033 --> 00:00:11,200

Let鈥檚 take a look

3

00:00:12,333 --> 00:00:16,533

When the CD3217 converts the 5V power supply of the adapter,

4

00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:21,333

it will first provide power to the charging chip U5200

5

00:00:24,633 --> 00:00:28,066

U5200 is in this position in the circuit

6

00:00:28,766 --> 00:00:31,966

This is ISL9240, the charging chip

7

00:00:34,366 --> 00:00:39,200

The power supply of the adapter is called PPDCIN_AONSW,

8

00:00:41,533 --> 00:00:44,333

it passes through a current-sensing resistor,

9

00:00:51,466 --> 00:00:55,200

and from here it provides power to the P_IN pin of the charging chip

10

00:01:03,133 --> 00:01:04,900

After the charging chip is powered,

11

00:01:06,733 --> 00:01:12,000

it will output a 5V linear from the VDD pin to provide power to the VDDP pin,

12

00:01:19,366 --> 00:01:21,900

and at the same time pull up the CELL pin

13

00:01:24,433 --> 00:01:27,166

In the circuit, this is the VDDA pin

14

00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:35,600

In the circuit diagram, it outputs from the VDDA pin, and then supplies power to the VDDP pin,

15

00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,266

there is a 4.7 ohm resistor in the middle

16

00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,533

Then, this VDDA has to pull up the CELL pin

17

00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,766

CELL is the setting pin for the number of cells

18

00:01:55,233 --> 00:01:57,833

When the level is high, it means 3 cells,

19

00:01:58,966 --> 00:02:01,233

when it is low, it means 2 cells

20

00:02:02,633 --> 00:02:05,633

The voltage of 1 cell is about 4.2V,

21

00:02:07,833 --> 00:02:11,133

and the voltage of 3 cells is about 12.6V

22

00:02:16,900 --> 00:02:21,833

It is also the common point voltage setting pin, and also the charging voltage setting pin,

23

00:02:23,466 --> 00:02:27,100

It sets its charging voltage according to the number of battery cells

24

00:02:29,500 --> 00:02:34,900

When the charging chip meets the power supply, the output is linear, and the CELL pin is pulled up

25

00:02:39,900 --> 00:02:47,500

This chip will output GATE_Q1, GATE_Q2, GATE_Q3, GATE_Q4,

26

00:02:52,033 --> 00:02:55,900

It outputs these pins to drive two external composite tubes

27

00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:05,900

It can also be said that two pairs of upper and lower tubes jointly generate a common point voltage, PPBUS_AON

28

00:03:15,466 --> 00:03:18,100

Ok, let's look how these 4 MOS tubes work

29

00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,633

Let's learn through this sequence diagram

30

00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:37,200

When the adapter voltage comes in, it will supply power to the P_IN pin

31

00:03:41,700 --> 00:03:47,433

Then it will generate a linear output from the VDDA pin to supply power to VDDP,

32

00:03:49,733 --> 00:03:54,533

and at the same time pull up the CELL pin, which is the battery cells setting pin,

33

00:03:57,266 --> 00:04:01,433

or the charging voltage setting pin, or the common point voltage setting pin

34

00:04:02,333 --> 00:04:04,466

After the chip meets these conditions,

35

00:04:05,066 --> 00:04:08,833

it will work in boost mode and drive 4 MOS tubes to conduct in turn,

36

00:04:09,700 --> 00:04:12,566

and boost the 5V to get 12V power supply

37

00:04:25,966 --> 00:04:28,000

How did this 12V come from?

38

00:04:28,500 --> 00:04:31,433

The average voltage of one cell is about 4V

39

00:04:34,700 --> 00:04:37,766

When the CELL pin is grounded, it is set to two cells,

40

00:04:38,733 --> 00:04:42,333

and when it is connected to the power supply, it is set to three cells.

41

00:04:42,933 --> 00:04:45,600

We are based on three battery cells to calculate

42

00:04:47,300 --> 00:04:51,466

Each cell is about 4V, so three cells are 12V

43

00:04:53,466 --> 00:04:58,233

This 12V is the common point voltage, which is called PPBUS_AON

44

00:04:59,833 --> 00:05:02,866

At the same time, it is also the charging voltage,

45

00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,566

which can charge the battery after the charging current detection resistor

46

00:05:06,566 --> 00:05:09,066

and the battery isolation tube are turned on.

47

00:05:12,366 --> 00:05:17,333

It can also support batteries and adapters to provide power to the system at the same time,

48

00:05:17,933 --> 00:05:19,733

supporting mixed power supply

49

00:05:26,900 --> 00:05:32,000

Regarding the boost process, it usually uses inductor energy storage for boosting

50

00:05:35,366 --> 00:05:39,066

When the upper MOS tube is turned on, the lower MOS tube is turned off

51

00:05:40,366 --> 00:05:45,100

The MOS tube here is turned on, so that the inductor can charge and store energy

52

00:05:49,566 --> 00:05:53,533

Then, after the MOS tube is turned off, this side is turned on,

53

00:05:53,866 --> 00:05:57,700

and the incoming electricity and the stored electricity are released together,

54

00:05:58,233 --> 00:06:01,066

superimposed together to obtain a higher voltage

55

00:06:02,033 --> 00:06:06,566

The PWM waveform can be measured at the G poles of these 4 MOS tubes

56

00:06:07,333 --> 00:06:10,700

In the maintenance process, if there is no common point,

57

00:06:11,666 --> 00:06:15,433

we mainly check the condition of the charging chip, or replace the chip

58

00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:22,333

The boosted common point voltage will be returned to provide power

59

00:06:22,333 --> 00:06:27,166

to the PBUS and PBUS_PWR pins for detecting the common point voltage

60

00:06:34,766 --> 00:06:37,466

When it detects that the common point voltage is normal,

61

00:06:37,833 --> 00:06:41,900

it will output an EN signal to turn on the power supply of other circuits

62

00:06:45,300 --> 00:06:48,966

Ok, this is an introduction to the 4-switch buck and boost circuit
