Description

Floating power supply rail suitable for GaN high speed gate drive circuits
Technical field
The invention belongs to technical field of power management, and in particular to a kind of floating suitable for GaN high speed gate drive circuits Power rail.
Background technology
With the development of power electronic in recent years, half-bridge drive circuit just develops towards the direction of high power, high frequency, this The design of selection and circuit to power tube brings new requirement.Traditional half-bridge drive circuit mainly chooses silicon power tube work For power stage, in contrast, due to GaN device for power switching (such as GaN HEMT) have it is high pressure resistant, without reverse recovery time Good physical characteristic, therefore it is excellent to use the half-bridge gate drive circuit of GaN device for power switching to possess high speed, high power density etc. Good characteristic.But in the work(for using enhanced GaN device for power switching to do half-bridge gate drive circuit (below by taking GaN HEMT as an example) When rate pipe, it may appear that following phenomenon causes the conventional high rate high power gate drive circuit suitable for Si power tubes to be not used to enhance Type GaN device for power switching.
It is as shown in Figure 1 the structural schematic diagram by enhanced GaN device for power switching applied to the driving of half-bridge grid, in figure 1. Indicate that the pumping due to external load carries, there are power stage bias voltage VSWFor negative situation;It is 2. indicated due to enhanced GaN in figure The grid source of device for power switching is resistance to be forced down, must be by bootstrap capacitor C in circuitbootUpper bottom crown pressure difference VBST-VSWClamper is in safety In working range;It is 3. indicated due to bootstrap capacitor C in figurebootUpper bottom crown pressure difference VBST-VSWIt is clamped, BST in dead time Voltage is due to CbootCapacitive coupling acts on, and can reduce as SW enters negative pressure, low pressure is caused to turn high voltage level shift circuit (Level Up) dynamic range is inadequate;4. indicate that the power rail that low pressure turns high voltage level shift circuit (Level Up) is in figure BST, VSS, then in dead time, drive signal passes through the amplitude V after level shiftBST-VSS=VCboot-|VSW| it can be due to The upper bottom crown pressure difference V of CbootCbootIt is clamped, SW enters negative pressure and reduces;Above 4 kinds of situations will lead to two consequences:First, It is inadequate that low pressure turns high voltage level shift circuit (Level Up) dynamic range so that slowing for level shift no longer meets High speed grid drive the requirement to transmission delay, and by taking Fig. 2 mesolows turn high voltage level shift circuit (Level Up) as an example, float electricity Source rail voltage VBSTReduction so that low pressure turns the gate source voltage V of power tube M1, M2 in high voltage level shift circuitGSBecome smaller, it is low Pressure turns high voltage level shift circuit and dies down to the pull-up and pull-down capability of output node, leads to slowing for level shift;Its Two, the power rail that low pressure turns high voltage level shift circuit (Level Up) level logic circuit afterwards is BST, SW, and low pressure turns high pressure The power rail of level displacement circuit (Level Up) is BST, VSS, and the reference ground of the two is different, then drive signal passes through level position Amplitude V after shiftingBST-VSS=VCboot-|VSW| after entering negative pressure reduction with SW, it can gradually can not touch the threshold value electricity of rear class logic Flat VT, final to lead to the problem of drive signal loss.
In the off case, electric current flows to drain terminal to GaN HEMT (GaN high electron mobility transistor) in Fig. 1 from source When, drain-source voltage VDSThe negative pressure of -2~-3V is had, therefore in half-bridge gate drive circuit, when GaN HEMT make lower power tube, Since the pumping of external load carries in dead time, there are power stage bias voltage VSWFor negative situation, and load current is higher, bears Press situation more serious;And in the traditional design scheme of bootstrap capacitor power supply module, floating power supply rail BST is by low-tension supply rail VDD Power supply, this causes in dead time to bootstrap capacitor CbootWhen charging, bootstrap capacitor CbootTop crown is by bootstrap diode clamper In VDDThe pressure difference of current potential, capacitance both ends reaches as high as (VDD+3)V;But due to the grid source breakdown voltage of GaN HEMT it is smaller (it is required that VGS<6V, optimal drive voltage are no more than 5.5V), then upper power tube when opening easily due to bootstrap capacitor both ends pressure difference is excessive Puncture.
It therefore, must addition clamper bootstrap capacitor C on charging bootstrap capacitor access in the design of some bridge crystal drive circuitsbootOn Bottom crown voltage difference VBST-VSWClamp circuit, to avoid upper power tube that GaN pipe dielectric layers occur because gate source voltage is excessive Breakdown.But because bootstrap capacitor CbootThe voltage difference V of upper bottom crownBST-VSWIt is clamped to ensure trouble free service within 5.5V, And power stage bias voltage V in dead timeSWNegative value is very big, then due to bootstrap capacitor CbootCoupling, floating power supply rail BST level can follow power stage bias voltage VSWIt is far below 5V into negative pressure, this just brings new problem:1. making bridge joint It is inadequate that upper power tube control circuit and the low pressure of low voltage logic circuit turn high voltage level shift circuit (Level Up) dynamic range (low pressure turns the power rail of high voltage level shift circuit with being generally floating power supply rail BST and chip), causes low pressure to turn high-voltage electricity Prosposition shift circuit (Level Up) response speed does not meet high-speed demand, and drive signal transmission delay increases;2. rear class logic electricity The threshold level on road can drop in dead time with floating power supply rail BST declines synchronous with low-tension supply rail SW current potentials It is low, simultaneously because the reduction that low pressure turns high voltage level shift circuit (Level Up) dynamic range can cause drive signal to pass through electricity Amplitude after prosposition moves reduces, the two phenomenons can cause input signal not identified by rear level logic circuit in transmission and occur Dropout.Problem above gives the high-speed high-power half-bridge gate drive circuit design suitable for GaN device for power switching to bring Problem so that it is difficult to realize can meet GaN device for power switching simultaneously and work in safe voltage turn high voltage level with low pressure Shift circuit (Level Up) possesses the floating power supply rail of enough dynamic ranges.
