Embodiment
Below in conjunction with embodiment and contrast accompanying drawing the present invention is explained further details.
The method that control insulated gate device of the present invention is opened; The patent No. based on before the applicant is ZL200920261174.8, and name is called the drive circuit of the insulated gate device of bulletin in " a kind of drive circuits of single or a plurality of insulated gate devices that are connected in series ".Drive circuit in this patent document, as shown in Figure 1, comprise Vce feedback circuit, comparison amplifying circuit, buffer amplifier circuit and resistance Rg, relatively the reference voltage input terminal of amplifying circuit receives reference signal Vref.The input of feedback circuit links to each other with the collector electrode of insulated gate device, and output links to each other with the comparison signal input that compares amplifying circuit, the feedback voltage Vfb of output and IGBT collector emitter voltage Vce proportion relation.Relatively the output of amplifying circuit links to each other with the grid of insulated gate device (being IGBT shown in the figure) with resistance Rg through buffer amplifier circuit.This drive circuit receives reference signal Vref, through feedback in the drive circuit and relatively amplification control, makes the collector emitter voltage Vce of IGBT follow reference signal, is the reference signal Vref that amplifies certain multiple.If amplification multiple is k times.Drive circuit is opened or when opening to the transient state of shutoff from turn-offing to driving insulated gate device; Can control make the collector emitter voltage Vce of IGBT follow reference signal, but be not that all reference signals are input to drive circuit and can both make the collector emitter voltage Vce of IGBT closely follow reference signal and play good effect.Control insulated gate device of the present invention is opened in the method for transient process; It promptly is the scheme that proposes several kinds of appropriate control reference signals; Thereby it is better to make insulated gate device collector electrode-emitter or drain electrode-source voltage when opening transient state follow the effect of reference signal; The effectively rate of change of control sets electrode-emitter or drain electrode-source voltage, collector electrode-emitter or drain electrode-source voltage and the total time length of opening transient process; And the loss that reduces to open transient state as far as possible, can control the situation that the IGBT electric current changes simultaneously indirectly, thereby prevent that insulated gate device from damaging.Under the situation of insulated gate device series connection, can also realize all pressures of opening of device.
Following execution mode is the example explanation with IGBT, equally also is applicable to the control of opening of MOSFET.When control IGBT opened transient process in the following execution mode, the scheme of the control reference signal of proposition all is to carry out in two stages of branch: the phase I: the collector emitter voltage of waiting for IGBT can be followed reference signal synchronously; Second stage: the control reference signal drops to the reference signal lower limit, and then the collector emitter voltage of IGBT drops to the value when opening synchronously, thereby opening of IGBT control effectively.Phase I comprises three kinds of control modes: first kind of control mode: the control reference signal directly drops to set point from the reference signal higher limit and keeps set point then in a period of time; Second kind of control mode: the control reference signal directly drops to set point from the reference signal higher limit with a slope straight line in the time period; The third control mode: the control reference signal directly drops to transition value from the reference signal higher limit and in the time period, drops to set point from transition value with a slope straight line then.Second stage comprises two kinds of control modes: first kind of control mode: the control reference signal drops to the reference signal lower limit from set point with the first slope straight line; Second kind of control mode: the control reference signal drops to the reference signal lower limit with the first slope straight line with transition slope after decline a period of time earlier again from set point, and the absolute value of transition slope is less than the absolute value of first slope.
Embodiment one
Control mode in this embodiment is made up of first kind of control mode of above-mentioned phase I and first kind of control mode of second stage.As shown in Figure 2, solid line part s1 is the oscillogram of reference signal in this embodiment.T0 constantly before, IGBT is in off state, the value of reference signal is reference signal higher limit Vmax, for the 1/k of clamping voltage doubly.The setting of clamping voltage is in order to prevent that collector emitter voltage Vce is too high and the fault that causes.Under the situation that does not adopt voltage clamp, IGBT might cause that collector emitter voltage Vce is too high owing to stray parameter or the system failure turn-offing transient state, causes the damage of IGBT.Through clamping voltage is set, the clamping voltage that collector emitter voltage Vce can be set up limits, and can not surpass the clamping voltage value that is provided with.Therefore the common value of setting of clamping voltage is turn-offed the collector emitter voltage Vce under the stable state greater than IGBT, less than the withstand voltage of IGBT device self.At t0 constantly; Begin IGBT is carried out the control of opening from turn-offing to; The process that the control reference signal changes is: the phase I: the control reference signal constantly directly drops to set point V0 from reference signal higher limit Vmax at t0, keeps set point V0 constant in the time period at t0 to t1 then; Second stage: t1 back control constantly reference signal descends with the first slope straight line from set point V0, to t2 constantly the time, and reference signal arrival reference signal lower limit Vmin.
The value of above-mentioned set point V0 satisfies: when reference signal was got set point V0, corresponding IGBT worked in active area under the value of the collector emitter voltage Vce of IGBT.And when a plurality of IGBT connected, when reference signal was got set point, corresponding each insulated gate device all should work in active area under the collector emitter voltage of each insulated gate device or the value of drain electrode-source voltage.
The value of reference signal lower limit Vmin is the 1/k value doubly smaller or equal to IGBT collector emitter voltage Vce, is included as the situation of negative value.
The value of first slope; Can require with turn-on consumption requirement set to service time of IGBT according to the user: if customer requirements service time is short as far as possible; Turn-on consumption is low as far as possible, and absolute value that then can first slope is set to a bigger value in the scope that IGBT device itself allows; If the rate of change of collector emitter voltage Vce was more slow as far as possible when customer requirements IGBT opened, absolute value that then can first slope is set to a less value.
In the control method, t0 to the time of delay that t1 time span constantly is longer than IGBT at least, is generally μ s level constantly.When IGBT of a driving circuit drives control only is set, be the time of the collector emitter voltage Vce of this IGBT above-mentioned time of delay with respect to the reference signal response lag; When a plurality of drive circuits being set respectively during a plurality of IGBT series connection of drive controlling, be the longest corresponding lag time of IGBT of response lag time among a plurality of IGBT above-mentioned time of delay.The setting of the t0 moment to the t1 time period constantly is collector emitter voltage Vce and the reference signal sync response that is used for waiting for IGBT; Thereby when guaranteeing that t1 moment back reference signal descends with first slope; The collector emitter voltage Vce of IGBT can follow reference signal synchronously, thereby effectively controls the variation of the collector emitter voltage Vce of IGBT.
Among Fig. 2, the collector emitter voltage Vce that also shows IGBT follows the oscillogram that reference signal changes, shown in dotted line u1 among the figure.After the moment, control IGBT device is open-minded at t0, and reference signal keeps a constant value, waits for the sync response of the collector emitter voltage Vce of IGBT; T1 is during the moment, and both can reach synchronous variation; Reference signal descends with the first slope straight line afterwards, and collector emitter voltage Vce also follows decline, until the magnitude of voltage that reaches when opening, thus open-minded.After the moment, IGBT is by open-minded at t2, and the collector emitter voltage Vce of IGBT is higher than reference signal under the stable state.This is because opening under the stable situation; The size of the collector emitter voltage Vce of IGBT is determined with the electric current that flows through IGBT by the I-V characteristic of IGBT itself jointly; After so stable state is opened in entering; Reference signal is got the reference signal lower limit, and the 1/k of collector emitter voltage Vce doubly when opening smaller or equal to IGBT.After getting into stable state, the value of reference signal makes that the Vce voltage of IGBT is low as much as possible like this, on the one hand can be so that IGBT is stabilized in opening state, thus improve the reliability of IGBT work, on the other hand can be so that the on-state loss of IGBT is less.IGBT gets into and opens stable state afterwards.
In the control method of this embodiment; When opening, be accompanied by the variation of reference signal, the collector emitter voltage Vce of IGBT carries out " preparation " of following in the t0-t1 time period earlier; Following reference signal then descends with the first slope straight line; When reference signal arrived lower limit, this moment, the collector emitter voltage Vce of IGBT promptly arrived the steady state voltage when opening, promptly by open-minded.Whole opening process; The collector emitter voltage Vce of IGBT is in effectively controlling; Can control parameters such as IGBT collector emitter voltage Vce and collector emitter voltage rate of change dVce/dt according to user's request flexibly, and it is too fast and be compromised to prevent that voltage change ratio current changing rate too fast and corresponding generation from appearring in IGBT when opening.
Embodiment two
Control mode in this embodiment is made up of second kind of control mode of phase I and first kind of control mode of second stage.As shown in Figure 3, solid line part s2 is the oscillogram of reference signal in this embodiment.In this embodiment in reference signal and the embodiment one difference of reference signal be: reference signal is in the phase I of the collector emitter voltage Vce sync response of waiting for IGBT in this embodiment; Directly drop to set point with a slope straight line, and no longer keep set point constant from the reference signal higher limit.
As shown in Figure 3; At t3 constantly; Begin IGBT is carried out the control of opening from turn-offing to, the process that the control reference signal changes is: the phase I: the control reference signal drops to set point V0 from reference signal higher limit Vmax with a slope straight line in t3 to the t4 time period; Second stage: t4 back control constantly reference signal descends with the first slope straight line from set point V0, to t5 constantly the time, and reference signal arrival reference signal lower limit Vmin.
The value principle of set point V0 in this embodiment, the value of reference signal lower limit Vmin and the value principle of first slope all with execution mode one in identical.And the length of time period t 3 to t4 is also identical with the length of time period t 0 to t1 in the execution mode one.
Among Fig. 3, the collector emitter voltage Vce that also shows IGBT follows the oscillogram that reference signal changes, shown in dotted line u2 among the figure.During the moment, control IGBT device is open-minded at t3, and reference signal drops to set point V0 from reference signal higher limit Vmax, and this stage is waited for the sync response of the collector emitter voltage Vce of IGBT; T4 is during the moment, and both can change synchronously; Control reference signal afterwards and descend, collector emitter voltage Vce also follows decline, until the magnitude of voltage that reaches when opening, thus open-minded.
In the control method of this embodiment; At loitering phase; Reference signal drops to set point V0 from reference signal higher limit Vmax and changes, can be not influential to the wait of the sync response of the collector emitter voltage Vce of IGBT, wait to reach set point V0 after; The control reference signal drops to reference signal lower limit Vmin with the first slope straight line, and then whole control process can control effectively to opening of IGBT equally.Because the control method in this embodiment; Reference signal at loitering phase with a slope variation to set point; Rather than directly drop to set point; Therefore the collector emitter voltage Vce rate of change of the IGBT of phase I is less relatively, can reduce the possibility that concussion appears in Vce like this, and then improves the reliability of IGBT work.Especially under the situation of IGBT series connection, the Vce voltage of each IGBT might shake together, and then the Vce voltage of some of them IGBT might surpass the withstand voltage of device, causes the IGBT components from being damaged, and then causes the fault of complete equipment.
Embodiment three

As shown in Figure 4; At t6 constantly; Begin IGBT is carried out the control of opening from turn-offing to; The process that the control reference signal changes is: the phase I: the control reference signal constantly directly drops to transition value V ' from reference signal higher limit Vmax at t6, drops to set point V0 from transition value V ' with a slope straight line in t6 to the t7 time period then; Second stage: t7 back control constantly reference signal descends with the first slope straight line from set point V0, to t8 constantly the time, and reference signal arrival reference signal lower limit Vmin.
Above-mentioned transition value V ' is less than the value of reference signal higher limit Vmax greater than set point V0.Preferably, the value of transition value V ' also satisfies: when reference signal was got transition value V ', corresponding IGBT worked in active area under the value of the collector emitter voltage Vce of IGBT.Like this, the IGBT that transition value V ' is corresponding with set point V0 all works in active area, and both values are more approaching, and the slope that drops to set point V0 from transition value V ' is more level and smooth, and is better to the control of the collector emitter voltage Vce of IGBT.Simultaneously; Owing to have only the IGBT operating state after getting into active area, could control effectively to IGBT; Therefore drop to an intermediate form in initial stage phase I control reference signal fast from the reference signal higher limit; And then the guiding drop to set point, can shorten the stand-by period of phase I with respect to embodiment two.
The value principle of set point V0 in this embodiment, the value of reference signal lower limit Vmin and the value principle of first slope all with execution mode one in identical.And the length of time period t 6 to t7 is also identical with the length of time period t 0 to t1 in the execution mode one.
Among Fig. 4, the collector emitter voltage Vce that also shows IGBT follows the oscillogram that reference signal changes, shown in dotted line u3 among the figure.During the moment, control IGBT device is open-minded at t6, and reference signal directly drops to transition value V ' from reference signal higher limit Vmax, drops to set point V0 from transition value V ' then, and this stage is waited for the sync response of the collector emitter voltage Vce of IGBT; T7 is during the moment, and both can change synchronously; Control reference signal afterwards and descend, collector emitter voltage Vce also follows decline, until the magnitude of voltage that reaches when opening, thus open-minded.
In the control method of this embodiment; At loitering phase; Reference signal drops to an intermediate form V ' earlier, drops to set point V0 from transition value V ' with a slope straight line then and changes, and has the reliable advantage of the quick and embodiment two of embodiment one concurrently.Wait to reach both can sync response after, the control reference signal drops to the lower limit Vmin of reference signal with the first slope straight line, then whole control process can control effectively to the transient state of opening of IGBT too.
