Description

DC/DC switching converter power output transistor integrated drive circuit
Technical Field
The invention belongs to a direct current electric energy conversion circuit and a system; and more particularly to an integrated drive circuit for a DC/DC switching power converter employing dual NMOS power transistors as power output power circuit architectures.
Background
In the prior art, DC/DC switching converters for converting a known DC input voltage into a desired DC voltage can be classified into three types of BUCK, BOOST, BUCK-BOOST according to their peripheral topologies. In the prior art, the rectification mode of the DC/DC switching converter comprises two working modes of asynchronous rectification and synchronous rectification. In the prior art, the modulation mode of the control signal of the DC/DC switching converter comprises two types of pulse width modulation PWM and pulse frequency modulation PFM. In the asynchronous rectification mode, a diode is adopted as a rectifying tube, in the synchronous rectification mode, a low-conduction-resistance power tube MOSFET is adopted as the rectifying tube, and the low-resistance MOSFET rectification can effectively reduce conduction loss and improve the efficiency of the converter, so that the synchronous rectification mode is commonly adopted in portable electronic products. In order to improve the efficiency and the integration level of the switching converter, a dual N-type power transistor architecture is generally adopted, because the N-type MOS transistor generally has a smaller parasitic capacitance and occupies a smaller chip area than the P-type MOS transistor under the same on-resistance condition.
The DC/DC switching converter controls the on and off of the switching tube by generating square wave signals with certain frequency and duty ratio, and finally obtains the required direct current voltage by outputting the square wave signals to the inductor and the capacitor for power filtering.
A typical dual NMOS power transistor driving circuit structure and corresponding driving method in the prior art is shown in FIG. 6, and the circuit structure is suitable for BUCK, BOOST and BUCK-BOOST converters. The switching converter comprises a high-order N-type power transistor VT h Low-order N-type power transistor VT l High-order drive buffer 60, low-order drive buffer 66, high-order level shift circuit 61, low-order level shift circuit 65, inverter 64, bootstrap capacitor C BOOT A ringing cancellation module 101 and a zero current detection ZCD module 105.
From the prior art typical dual NMOS power transistor driving circuit architecture shown in FIG. 6, the high-order driving buffer 60 and the high-order level shift circuit 61 operate at a voltage corresponding to the bootstrap capacitor C BOOT Due to the voltage of the high-order N-type power transistor VT h Most of the time during switching is at a non-zero potential, the potential requirements of the relevant switching tube body substrates in the high-order drive buffer 60 and the high-order level shift circuit 61, and the bootstrap capacitance C BOOT The potential of the negative plate is equivalent, so that isolation devices are generally needed in the high-order drive buffer 60 and the high-order level shift circuit 61 to ensure that the high-order drive buffer 60 and the high-order level shift circuit 61 can work normally; the isolation device occupies larger chip area than the non-isolation device, and the parasitic capacitance of the isolation device causes more energy loss in the switching process, so that the overall efficiency of the DC/DC switching converter is affected, and particularly under the condition of light load, the influence on the efficiency is more obvious.
FIG. 9 shows a detailed circuit of a high level shifter 61 in a typical prior art dual NMOS power transistor driver circuit architecture, which is complex in structure and uses 8 transistors; requires the cooperative operation of the 8 transistors to input the first pulse width modulation signal u PWM Raised to fit high-order N-type power transistor VT h A potential of the gate drive; the high-order level shift circuit 61 not only consumes energy itself, but also introduces signal delay.
FIG. 10 shows a high-side N-type power transistor VT prevention commonly used in a prior art dual NMOS power transistor driver circuit architecture h And a low-order N-type power transistor VT l In order to ensure that the high-order driving circuit and the low-order driving circuit work at the time sequences corresponding to each other, the level shift circuits are arranged before the high-order driving circuit and before the low-order driving circuit in the circuit for preventing the power tube from being in series connection, and the circuit structure is complex.
Noun interpretation:
DCDC is an abbreviation of english Direct current Direct current, and chinese means that dc voltage is converted into dc voltage;
LDO is the abbreviation of English lowdropout regulator, and Chinese meaning refers to a low dropout linear voltage regulator;
MOSEFT is an abbreviation of English Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor, and Chinese meaning is a Metal Oxide field effect transistor;
the BUCK mode means in the present application a BUCK DC/DC converter circuit employing BUCK relator mode;
the BOOST mode means in the present application that a BOOST relator mode buck DC/DC conversion circuit is used;
the BUCK-BOOST mode means in the present application that a BUCK-BOOST DC/DC conversion circuit is employed with a BUCK-BOOST topology; the non-isolated DC converter has an output voltage which is lower than or higher than the input voltage, but has a polarity opposite to the input voltage.
PWM is an abbreviation for english Pulse Width Modulation, chinese meaning pulse width modulation; the Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) switch type voltage stabilizing circuit achieves the purpose of stabilizing output voltage by adjusting the duty ratio of the PWM switch type voltage stabilizing circuit under the condition that the output frequency of the control circuit is unchanged.
CCM is the abbreviation of English continuous current mode, chinese meaning is continuous conduction mode, meaning that the inductance current output by the DC/DC converter is continuous operation mode;
DCM is an abbreviation of English discontinuous current mode, chinese meaning discontinuous conduction mode, meaning discontinuous operation mode of inductor current output by DC/DC switching converter. When the DC/DC switching converter works in a DCM mode, namely an intermittent conduction mode, a time period when the inductance current is zero exists in the working process; when the inductance is small, the load current is small, or the switching period is long, the situation that the inductance current is reduced to zero when the period is not finished still occurs, and the inductance current is kept to zero until a new period comes, so that the intermittent working mode is realized; the output of a DC/DC switching converter operating in CCM mode is load independent and therefore its load regulation efficiency is relatively poor. The duty ratio, inductance and load will affect the output voltage of the DCM, so the load adjustment rate is worse, but the efficiency of the DCM mode will be higher in light load.
