In the related art, a mode of simulating the working condition of a flyback circuit is adopted to test a power device. However, in practical application, due to the fact that a nonlinear device (such as a transformer leakage inductance and a switch tube parasitic capacitance) in the test circuit has deviation, the power device to be tested is turned on when the voltage of the drain-source electrode of the power device to be tested does not resonate to the valley bottom, the working condition of the analog circuit is separated from the actual working condition of the power device to be tested, and therefore the test result is inaccurate.

Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is apparent that the described embodiments are some, but not all embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments, which can be obtained by a person skilled in the art without making creative efforts based on the embodiments of the present invention, belong to the protection scope of the present invention.

The inventor finds that, for power devices such as a gallium nitride power transistor, a driving signal is usually used to directly trigger the power device to be turned on or off. However, with the wide application of power devices such as gan power transistors, the power devices are required to operate under corresponding working conditions. Particularly, for a batch test circuit system based on a flyback circuit and energy feedback, a power device to be tested in the system needs to work under the working condition of the flyback circuit, and at the moment, the power device to be tested needs to be turned on when the drain-source voltage of the power device meets the lowest resonance voltage (namely valley voltage). However, in practical applications, due to deviations (for example, transformer leakage inductance deviations and the like) of some non-linear devices in the flyback circuit, the source-drain voltage resonance periods of the power device to be tested may be different, so that the turn-on condition of the power device to be tested (for example, the drain-source voltage of the power device to be tested is not resonated to the valley, that is, turned on) does not meet the application requirements. For this reason, the inventor also finds that the application requirements of the power device can be met by adjusting the driving signal of the power device so that the driving signal can timely trigger the power device to be turned on.
The following detailed description of embodiments of the invention refers to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is a block diagram illustrating a power device driving circuit 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 1, the power device driving circuit 100 may include a buffer circuit 101 and a signal source 102. Meanwhile, in order to more clearly illustrate the operation principle of the power device driving circuit 100, a power device 103 to be tested is also shown in fig. 1.
Wherein the aforementioned signal source may be used for generating the initial driving signal. In some embodiments, the signal source may specifically include a signal generator or a pulse generating circuit, etc. In particular, the initial driving signal may be generated by a signal generator or a pulse generation circuit, and in some implementation scenarios, the initial driving signal may include a high-low level at which a duty cycle may be set. It should be noted that the detailed description of the initial driving signal is only an exemplary description.
The buffer circuit 101 may receive the initial driving signal, and may perform a delay process on the initial driving signal and output a gate driving signal after the delay process based on a test condition of the power device to be tested. The grid driving signal can be used for controlling the power device to be tested to be switched on when the drain-source electrode voltage of the power device to be tested oscillates to the valley bottom. Therefore, the initial driving signal can be subjected to time delay processing through the buffer circuit based on the testing working condition of the power device to be tested, and the turn-on time point of the power device to be tested is adjusted, so that the adjusted driving signal can trigger the power device to be turned on in time to meet the application requirement of the power device. It should be noted that the aforementioned power device may include a gallium nitride power device, a silicon carbide power device, or other power devices, and the specific type of the power device is not limited herein.
In some embodiments, the aforementioned power device driving circuit may further include a driver. The driver may receive the gate driving signal output from the buffer circuit 101 and output the gate driving signal to the power device under test.
The foregoing buffer circuit 101 may be implemented in various ways in specific applications, which are further described below with reference to fig. 2 to 5.
Fig. 2 is a block diagram illustrating a power device driving circuit 200 according to another embodiment of the present invention. It is understood that fig. 2 is a specific implementation of the power device driving circuit 100 of fig. 1. The same applies, therefore, to fig. 2 as described above in connection with the relevant details in fig. 1. For example, the initial drive signal in fig. 2 may be generated by a signal generator or pulse generation circuit. In addition, the driver 104 is also shown in the power driving circuit 200, and the driver 104 can be deleted or reserved according to the actual application requirement.
Referring specifically to fig. 2, the power device driving circuit 200 may include a buffer circuit 101 and a signal source 102. The buffer circuit 101 may include a first RC buffer circuit, and the first RC buffer circuit may perform delay adjustment on the initial driving signal by using a charging and discharging process of a capacitor therein. Specifically, in some embodiments, the first RC snubber circuit may include a first resistor R1 and a first capacitance C1. One end of the first capacitor C1 is connected to the first resistor R1, and the other end of the first capacitor C1 is grounded. The initial driving signal charges the first capacitor C1 after passing through the first resistor R1. For the subsequent circuits of the first capacitor C1, the initial driving signal is adjusted by the charging and discharging time of the first capacitor C1 to obtain the gate driving signal. The gate driving signal may be directly output to the power device under test 103 or output to the power device under test 103 via the driver 104.
Further, in some embodiments, the first resistor may include a fixed resistor, and specifically, the required fixed resistor may be determined according to application requirements of the device to be driven, and the power device driving circuit 200 is adaptively adjusted by exchanging fixed resistors with different resistance values to meet the application requirements.
For another example, in other embodiments, the first resistor may further comprise an adjustable resistor. Under the scene, the resistance of the adjustable resistor can be directly adjusted according to application requirements, and complicated replacement operation of the resistor is not needed. For example, the drain-source voltage when the power device to be driven is switched on can be adjusted and controlled based on the resistance value of the adjustable resistor. In practical application, the resistance value can be adjusted by matching with an oscilloscope. Specifically, in the process of adjusting the resistance value of the adjustable resistor, the switching-on condition of the power device to be driven can be detected through the oscilloscope until the oscilloscope detects that the power device to be driven is switched on when the drain-source voltage of the power device to be driven is at the bottom of the valley, and at the moment, the adjustment of the resistance value is stopped. It should be noted that the description of the resistance value adjustment process of the adjustable resistor is only an exemplary description, and the scheme of the present invention is not limited thereto.
Fig. 3 is a block diagram illustrating a power device driving circuit 300 according to still another embodiment of the present invention. It will be appreciated that fig. 3 is another specific implementation of the power device driver circuit 100 of fig. 1. Fig. 3 may also be understood as a further addition to the functionality of the power device driver circuit 200 of fig. 2. The same applies, therefore, to fig. 3 as described above in connection with the relevant details in fig. 1 and 2. For example, the initial drive signal in fig. 3 may be generated by a signal generator or pulse generation circuit. In addition, the driver 104 is also shown in the power driving circuit 300, and the driver 104 can be deleted or reserved according to the actual application requirement. .
Referring specifically to fig. 3, the power device driving circuit 300 may include a buffer circuit 101 and a signal source 102. The buffer circuit comprises a second RC buffer circuit and a first logic gate adjusting circuit. The second RC snubber circuit includes a second resistor R2 and a second capacitor C2, and it is understood that the second RC snubber circuit may have the same circuit structure as the first RC snubber circuit in fig. 1. The initial driving signal charges the first capacitor C2 after passing through the first resistor R2. For the circuits subsequent to the first capacitor C2, the initial driving signal is adjusted by the charging and discharging time of the first capacitor C2 to obtain the first driving signal. The first driving signal is subjected to logic operation through a first logic gate adjusting circuit to obtain a gate driving signal. The gate driving signal may be directly output to the power device under test 103 or output to the power device under test 103 via the driver 104.
In some embodiments, the first logic gate adjusting circuit may specifically adjust a level flip speed of the first driving signal through a logic operation. The logic operation (such as negation or cut-through) of the first logic gate adjusting circuit is determined according to the specific circuit structure.
On the basis that the buffer circuit comprises a second RC buffer circuit, a first logic gate adjusting circuit can be further included. Therefore, for some scenes with requirements on the turn-off time of the power device to be driven, the application requirements can be met by further adjusting the driving signal through the first logic gate adjusting circuit in the buffer circuit. In practical applications, the first logic gate adjusting circuit can be implemented in various ways.
For example, in fig. 4, the first logic gate adjustment circuit may include an and gate 1011. The and gate 1011 may be connected to an RC buffer circuit (e.g. the first RC buffer circuit shown in fig. 2 or the second RC buffer circuit shown in fig. 3), wherein the driving signal after delay adjustment by the RC buffer circuit is output to the driver from the and gate 1011. In some embodiments, the RC snubber circuit includes a resistor R and a capacitor C, as shown in fig. 4, and gate 1011 may be connected to one end of resistor R. The resistor R may be a fixed resistor or an adjustable circuit, and in this embodiment, an adjustable resistor is preferably used.
Further, as shown in fig. 4, in some embodiments, the first logic gate adjustment circuit may further include a third resistor 1012. The third resistor 1012 may be connected to an RC buffer circuit, wherein the initial driving signal is output to the RC buffer circuit through the third resistor 1012 to adjust the load capacity of the driving signal by adding the third resistor. In some embodiments, the RC snubber circuit includes a resistor R and a capacitor C. As shown in fig. 4, the initial driving signal may be connected to one end of the third resistor 1012, the other end of the second resistor 1012 may be connected to one end of the resistor R, the other ends of the resistor R are respectively connected to the capacitor C and the and gate 1011, and the output end of the and gate 1011 is connected to the driver 104. Therefore, the power device to be tested can be switched on timely, and the switching-off time requirement of the power device to be tested can be met.
Fig. 5 is a block diagram illustrating a power device driving circuit 500 according to still another embodiment of the present invention. It is understood that fig. 5 is yet another specific implementation of the power device driving circuit 100 of fig. 1. Fig. 5 can also be understood as a further supplement to the function of the power device driving circuit 300 in fig. 3. The same applies, therefore, to fig. 5 as described above in connection with the relevant details in fig. 1 and 3. For example, the initial drive signal in fig. 5 may be generated by a signal generator or pulse generation circuit. While the drivers 104 may be reserved or eliminated according to application requirements. Also for example, the resistor in the snubber circuit 101 may be a fixed resistor, an adjustable varistor, or the like.
Referring specifically to fig. 5, the power device driving circuit 500 may include a buffer circuit 101 and a signal source 102. On the basis that the buffer circuit includes an RC buffer circuit, a first logic gate adjusting circuit and a driver 104 may be further included, and in particular, the first logic gate adjusting circuit may include a first nand gate 1013, a second nand gate 1014, and a diode 1015. The input end of the first nand gate 1013 is connected to the initial driving signal, and the output end thereof is connected to the input end of the RC buffer circuit. The input of the second nand gate 1014 is connected to the output of the RC buffer circuit, and its output is connected to the driver 102. And the anode of the diode 1015 is connected to the output of the first nand gate 1013, and the cathode thereof is connected to the input of the second nand gate 1014. Therefore, for some scenes with requirements on the turn-off time of the power device to be driven, the application requirements can be met by further adjusting the driving signal through the logic gate adjusting circuit in the buffer circuit.
In some embodiments, an RC snubber circuit (e.g., a first RC snubber circuit shown in fig. 2 or a second RC snubber circuit shown in fig. 3) includes a resistor R and a capacitor C. In the connection relationship between the devices in the power device driving circuit, as shown in fig. 5, the input end of the first nand gate may be connected to the initial driving signal, and the output end thereof may be connected to one end of the 5 resistor R and the anode of the diode 1015. A cathode of the diode 1015 may be connected to the other end of the 5-resistor R, one end of the capacitor C, and an input of the second nand gate 1014. The output of the second nand gate 1014 is connected to the input of the driver 104, and the output of the driver 104 is connected to the gate of the power device 103 to be driven. The source of the power device 103 to be driven and the other end of the capacitor C are commonly grounded. It should be noted that the description of the connection relationship of the devices in the power device driving circuit is only an exemplary description.
Further, the operation principle of the power device driving circuit will be described with reference to the circuit configuration shown in fig. 5. In this scenario, the initial signal may include high and low levels at which the duty cycle may be set. When a low-level signal is input, the high-level driving signal is inverted via the first nand gate 1013. Under the action of the high-level driving signal, the diode 1015 is turned on. At this time, the capacitor C is charged through the diode 1015, the voltage of the capacitor C is rapidly increased from a low level to a high level, and then is inverted through the second nand gate 1014 to obtain a low level signal, at this time, the driver 104 of the power device to be tested outputs the low level, and the power device to be tested is turned off. When a high level signal is input, the first nand gate 1013 is inverted to obtain a low level signal, at this time, the diode 1015 is turned off in the opposite direction, and the first nand gate 1013 discharges the capacitor C through the resistor R. After a certain discharge time, the voltage of the capacitor C is reduced from a high level to a low level, the second nand gate 1014 inverts the low level signal into a high level signal, at this time, the driver 104 of the power device to be tested outputs a high level, and the power device to be tested is turned on. In addition, after the resistance value of the resistor R in the power device driving circuit is adjusted in advance, the power device to be driven can be ensured to be switched on when the drain-source voltage of the power device to be driven resonates to the valley voltage without being adjusted again in use. The resistance value adjustment process of the resistor R can refer to the related description, and is not described herein again. It can be seen that in the whole adjustment process of the driving signal, the diode can ensure that the driving signal only adjusts the time delay of the power device at the turn-on moment through RC buffer without changing the turn-off moment, so that the adjusted driving signal can better meet the actual requirement.
The driving circuit adjusts the driving signal through the buffer circuit in the power device driving circuit to drive the power device to be switched on at the right time, the whole circuit structure is simple, the used device cost is low, and the realization cost of the whole circuit technology can be effectively reduced.
An application scenario of the power device driving circuit is described below with reference to fig. 6 and 7.
Fig. 6 is a block diagram illustrating a semiconductor device test circuit 500 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The semiconductor device test circuit 600 may include a primary circuit and a secondary circuit, wherein the primary circuit includes a primary winding and a primary power device to be tested connected in series, two ends of the primary circuit are used to connect a test power supply to form a loop, the secondary circuit includes a secondary winding and a secondary transistor to be tested connected in series, the primary winding and the secondary winding form a flyback transformer, the primary circuit and the secondary circuit are connected in parallel and grounded, the primary circuit further includes a first power device driving circuit connected to the primary power device to be tested, and the power device driving circuit includes a power device driving circuit as shown in fig. 1 to 5, wherein a buffer circuit in the power device driving circuit is used to process an initial driving signal according to a test condition of the primary power device to be tested, and outputs a first gate driving signal for the primary power device to be tested, so as to control the primary power device to be tested to be turned on when a drain-source voltage of the primary power device to be tested oscillates to a valley bottom based on the first gate driving signal.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 6, the semiconductor device test circuit 600 may include the power device driving circuit shown in fig. 5. Wherein the power device driving circuit in the semiconductor device test circuit 600 comprises a first NAND gate U bu-n Diode D bu-n A first resistor R bu-n Capacitor C bu-n A second NAND gate U bu-2n And a driver. In addition, fig. 6 also shows a primary side power device Q to be tested L-n Secondary side transistor D to be tested H-n And the primary winding and the secondary winding form a flyback transformer T n
By combining the flyback circuit and energy feedback, a secondary side circuit of the semiconductor device test circuit is connected to a primary side circuit and is equivalent to an energy storage + energy feedback double-pulse circuit, various switch tests such as stress and current are realized, and the power consumption of the test circuit can be effectively reduced. Meanwhile, the driving signal is adjusted by additionally arranging the power device driving circuit, the problem that the drain-source resonant voltage and the switching loss are greatly different when the device to be detected is switched on due to the difference of the leakage inductance of the transformer, the parasitic capacitance of the power device and the like can be solved, and the working condition of the practical flyback adapter can be simulated to the maximum extent.
Further, fig. 6 also shows an RCD snubber circuit and an AC snubber circuit (i.e., an active clamp snubber circuit). Therefore, the RCD absorption circuit can be used for reducing the turn-off voltage spike caused by the leakage inductance of the flyback transformer, and evaluation tests can be carried out on the indexes of the primary side power device to be tested in the RCD absorption circuit, such as the switching characteristic, the reliability and the like. In addition, the AC absorption circuit can reduce the turn-off voltage spike caused by the leakage inductance of the flyback transformer, and meanwhile, the evaluation test can be carried out on the indexes of the switching characteristic, the reliability and the like of the primary side power device to be tested in the AC absorption circuit.
