Description

Programmable high-precision dynamic GaN driving circuit and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of power semiconductor device switches, and particularly relates to a programmable high-precision dynamic GaN driving circuit and application thereof.
Background
Power electronic devices are widely used in people's daily life, wherein power semiconductor devices play a crucial role in power electronics. In a power semiconductor device, the performance of an MOSFET device basically tends to be mature and stable, and GaN is used as a new device which is different from the MOSFET in materials and structures and has smaller device size, lower on-resistance and smaller input capacitance; thereby enabling GaN to have faster switching speed and lower static loss.
The faster switching speed of GaN presents challenges to its driving, which can lead to more severe ringing and more overshoot, which not only can damage the device, but can also lead to parasitic conduction, resulting in through-burn out of the device. Typically, to reduce ringing and overshoot, the gate resistance needs to be increased to slow its turn-on speed, but this increases switching losses. There is a trade-off between switching speed and switching losses, and dynamic driving can effectively reduce ringing and overshoot without increasing switching losses. When the GaN-based transistor is switched on, the grid capacitor is rapidly charged by using a small grid driving resistor before the threshold voltage is reached, after a GaN channel is formed, the flowing GaN current rises, then the VDS voltage of the GaN-based transistor drops, and at the stage, the grid capacitor is slowly charged by using a large driving resistor, so that overshoot and ringing phenomena are suppressed. When the grid electrode is turned off, the grid electrode capacitor is discharged, before the grid electrode voltage is reduced to the threshold voltage, the small grid electrode driving resistor is adopted to quickly discharge the grid electrode capacitor, and when the channel is close to be closed, the large grid electrode driving resistor is adopted to slowly discharge the grid electrode capacitor, so that the overshoot and ringing phenomena are inhibited.
The driving method for controlling the grid driving voltage waveform can be realized in a closed loop feedback or open loop mode in theory. Closed-loop feedback is usually implemented by detecting GaN current and voltage, and adjusting the gate drive resistance in real time when the rising or falling speed is too fast, thereby controlling the on/off of the GaN. However, GaN switches at a fast speed, and the feedback loop takes a certain time to adjust the circuit, which is not suitable for driving GaN.
