The power supply end of described level shift module, signal latch, driving level circuit is all connected to floating power supply.
In embodiment shown in Fig. 1, input low pressure duty cycle signals is pwm signal, VDD and GND is the VDD-to-VSS of low-voltage power supply part. BST and SW is the VDD-to-VSS of high pressure floating power supply rail part. PVIN is the service voltage of controlled power tube. Low-voltage power supply part only spike pulse and circuit part before thereof in figure, level shift module and latter linked noise filtering circuit, signal latch, driving level be all belong to high pressure floating power supply rail part. The floating power supply rail of high pressure described in this patent refers to bootstrap circuit, also claims boost-up circuit, and between BST-SW, relative pressure is constant, but current potential can raise, as floated to 220V-200V from the 20V-0V of SW ground connection state. VDD-GND is then low-voltage power supply, and is solid ground power supply, such as the 20V-0V got in 15V-0V or the present embodiment. Floating power supply is common circuit in prior art, not its structure of detail in the present invention.
In Fig. 1, when inputting pwm signal, spike pulse producer respectively produces a narrow pulse signal i.e. the first narrow pulse signal PWM_R and the 2nd narrow pulse signal PWM_F according to the positive rise of pwm signal and negative edge, as shown in Figure 4.

After noise filtering circuit and R-S signal latch, signal becomes again duty cycle signals (high pressure duty cycle signals) from narrow pulse signal, but high pressure duty signal level has been promoted to 220V-200V corresponding to BST-SW, finally achieving from low pressure duty cycle signals to the level shift of high pressure duty cycle signals, high pressure duty cycle signals is shown in the Q signal in Fig. 4. The high pressure duty cycle signals Q that signal latch exports controls opening and turning off of power tube PM1 after level of overdriving, and thus achieves PWM low-voltage signal to the control of high drive level and power tube.

The threshold voltage of described first high-pressure MOS field effect transistor NM1 and the 2nd high-pressure MOS field effect transistor NM2 is all greater than the threshold voltage of described first clamper MOS field effect transistor NM3 and the 2nd clamper MOS field effect transistor NM4. In the present embodiment, floating power supply can boost to 220V-200V from 20V-0V, described first high-pressure MOS field effect transistor NM1 and the 2nd high-pressure MOS field effect transistor NM2 need to bear floating power supply and boost to, from 20V-0V, the high voltage differential that 220V-200V causes, therefore it is required that have the performance that can bear high pressure. And the first clamper MOS field effect transistor NM3 and the 2nd clamper MOS field effect transistor NM4 only needs to bear the voltage difference of floating power supply positive pole relative to floating ground, therefore only need to bear 20V voltage, it is not necessary to high pressure requirement. The present embodiment requires to select different devices according to different performance, it is achieved best cost performance.
When PWM becomes high, the first narrow pulse signal PWM_R becomes high, and the first high-pressure MOS field effect transistor NM1 conducting, the n1 point voltage that level shift module is connected with described signal latch set input S is drawn low, and electric current is through the first resistance R1. When the SW of the voltage ratio floating power supply of n1 point is low, and voltage difference is when being greater than the threshold voltage of the first clamper MOS field effect transistor NM3, first clamper MOS field effect transistor NM3 conducting, now part electric current is through the first clamper MOS field effect transistor NM3, the voltage of n1 point can not reduce again, but by the first clamper MOS field effect transistor NM3 clamper. The pressure reduction that positive pole BST to the n1 of such floating power supply puts would not be excessive, and the signal being input to signal latch set input S also will make signal latch be damaged because of too low. Arriving the set input S of signal latch after the change of n1 point voltage is low through RC wave filter, signal latch set input S Low level effective, signal latch is set, and it is high for exporting high pressure duty cycle signals Q. When the first narrow pulse signal PWM_R spike pulse disappear again become low after, the first high-pressure MOS field effect transistor NM1 turns off. N1 point is charged by the first resistance R1, and last voltage equals BST voltage. The voltage that RC wave filter exports signal latch set input S to also becomes BST voltage, but the output of signal latch maintenance high level is constant, sees signal Q in Fig. 4.
When PWM becomes low, the 2nd narrow pulse signal PWM_F becomes high, and the 2nd high-pressure MOS field effect transistor NM2 conducting, the n2 point voltage that level shift module is connected with described signal latch zero setting input terminus R is drawn low, and electric current is through the 2nd resistance R2. When the SW of the voltage ratio floating power supply of n2 point is low, and when voltage difference is greater than the threshold voltage of the 2nd clamper MOS field effect transistor NM4, the 2nd clamper MOS field effect transistor NM4 conducting. Now part electric current is through the 2nd clamper MOS field effect transistor NM4, and the voltage of n2 point can not reduce again, by the 2nd clamper MOS field effect transistor NM4 clamper. The pressure reduction that positive pole BST to the n2 of such floating power supply puts would not be excessive, and the signal being input to signal latch zero setting input terminus R also will make signal latch be damaged because of too low. Arriving signal latch zero setting input terminus R through RC wave filter after the change of n2 point voltage is low, signal latch zero setting input terminus R Low level effective, signal latch is reset, and the described high pressure duty cycle signals Q of output becomes low, see signal Q in Fig. 4. When the 2nd narrow pulse signal PWM_F spike pulse disappear again become low after, 2nd high-pressure MOS field effect transistor NM2 turns off, n2 point voltage is charged by resistance R2, last voltage equals BST voltage, the voltage that RC wave filter exports signal latch zero setting input terminus R to also becomes BST voltage, but the output of signal latch maintenance lower level is constant.
When BST and the SW voltage of floating power supply becomes low simultaneously, n1 and n2 point voltage can be discharged by n1 and n2 by the parasitic diode of the first clamper MOS field effect transistor NM3 and the 2nd clamper MOS field effect transistor NM4 so that the voltage of n1 and n2 too much can not damage late-class circuit higher than the positive pole BST of floating power supply and ground SW. MOS field effect transistor produces described parasitic diode due to its manufacturing process, it is not necessary to additionally increase setting.
On circuit realiration, above-mentioned parasitic diode can also with the diode in place of non-parasitism. In figure, the clamper function of NM3 and NM4 can also be replaced by NPN triode. Wherein the collector electrode of triode meets BST, and base stage meets SW, launches level and meets n1 and n2. In addition, the function of NM3 and NM4 directly can also carry out clamper with zener pipe, and the P level of zener pipe meets n1 and n2, and N level meets BST.
