Description

Gate drive circuit for improving overload of power device by reducing gate resistance
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of power devices, in particular to a gate driving circuit for improving overload of a power device by reducing gate resistance.
Background
With the emphasis of energy conservation and environmental protection in various countries in the world, new energy industries including wind power generation, photovoltaic power generation and new energy automobiles have been rapidly developed in recent years. In the utilization of new energy, the power electronic technology capable of efficiently converting various energy sources into high-quality electric energy plays an important role, so that the related application of power electronics is more and more widespread, and the power electronic converter plays a key role in the fields of information communication, household appliances and the like, and has been applied to aspects in real life so far, and the reliability of the power electronic converter is important for the safe and reliable operation of a power electronic system.
In power electronics systems, short-term overload conditions exist. For example: the surge current in the black start mode of the network system is 3 times of the rated current and lasts for 4.4s; in the full-load starting and accelerating climbing stage of the electric automobile, the motor output torque is large in the accelerating climbing stage, and in order to ensure the dynamic performance of the motor, the motor controller is likely to be in a short-time overload state which lasts for 10 seconds or even longer by 1.5 times. If the overload condition is short in duration, the device is affordable. However, when overload occurs, the drain current increases, the conduction loss increases, the junction temperature of the device rapidly increases, thermal breakdown may occur, and the failure risk increases sharply. Therefore, the short-time overload capacity of the power device has important significance for safe and reliable operation of the power electronic system.
Aiming at the short-time overload requirement of a power device, the prior art mainly has two solving directions. Firstly, junction temperature regulation is carried out, and overload tolerance is improved; the short-time overload capacity of the traditional power module is improved by filling the phase change material in the traditional power module. Secondly, the multi-chip layout is analyzed and optimized, and the parallel current sharing capability is improved. The current provides a series small resistance current sharing method, which compensates impedance difference among different branches through series small resistors, has simple realization method and low cost, and only plays a role after the device is completely conducted. Meanwhile, an active driving scheme is also provided to realize parallel current sharing, and the current sharing of the parallel chips is realized by adjusting the delay time of the gate driving signal. And after the active drive detects the difference of the currents among the parallel branches, controlling the delay time of each device in the switching-on process, so that the currents of the parallel devices are regulated and controlled to be as consistent as possible.
If the corresponding regulation and control treatment is not carried out in the short-time overload period, the loss of the device can be increased, the junction temperature is caused to be rapidly increased, and the failure risk is rapidly increased. The method fills the phase change material in the traditional power module, has high process difficulty, and the required phase change material has high cost and high manufacturing cost. The series connection of small resistors can introduce extra loss and reduce the power conversion efficiency. The active drive scheme has high dependence on hardware such as high-precision, low-delay and high-speed current sensors.
It should be noted that the information disclosed in the above background section is only for enhancing understanding of the background of the present disclosure and thus may include information that does not constitute prior art known to those of ordinary skill in the art.

Detailed Description
For the purposes of making the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is apparent that the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, but not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present application, which are generally described and illustrated in the figures herein, may be arranged and designed in a wide variety of different configurations. Accordingly, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present application, provided in connection with the accompanying drawings, is not intended to limit the scope of the application, as claimed, but is merely representative of selected embodiments of the application. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present application without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the present application. The invention is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
The invention provides a method for temporarily reducing the grid resistance R G In the grid driving scheme, the peak value of the load loop current is monitored in real time, and when the load is overloaded in a short time, the switching process of a power device is quickened, the switching loss is reduced, and the power device is improved by briefly reducing the grid resistanceShort time overload capability of the member. As shown in fig. 1, the regulation process is divided into four phases: the device comprises a normal running state, an overload non-regulation state, an overload regulation state and an overload non-regulation state, and the driving time sequence enables the controlled device to repeatedly and sequentially work in four stage states. The grid resistance of the overload unregulated stage is the same as the normal running state. The shorter the overload unregulated stage duration, the better, the duration of which is optionally determined in practice, and in some special cases the overload unregulated stage can be removed. The overload regulation and control stage and the no-overload regulation and control stage belong to regulation and control stages, and the grid resistance of the regulation and control stage is lower than that of a normal running state. The overload-free regulation phase helps to reduce switching losses, but this phase is not necessary and its duration is optionally determined.
As shown in fig. 2, because MOSFET power consumption p=v DS ×I D ,V DS Is the drain voltage, I D For drain current, at t 2 And t 3 Stage V DS And I D The power consumption is larger than the product and the power loss. t is t 1 Stage I D Almost 0, although V DS But the product is almost 0.t is t 4 Stage V DS Almost 0, although I D But the product will be very small. The power loss during the MOSFET turn-on process mainly occurs at t 2 And t 3 Stage. The same applies to the shutdown process, with the main power loss concentrated at t 7 And t 8 Stage.
According to the invention, when the load is overloaded for a short time, the grid resistance is reduced for a short time, the switching speed of the power device is improved, the switching loss of the power device is reduced, and the overload capacity of the power device for a short time is improved. However, the switching speed is too high, so that the voltage and current change rate of the switching device is greatly improved, great interference is generated, the related problems of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) are brought, and meanwhile, the motor insulation problem is brought by high dv/dt, so that the switching device needs to be comprehensively combined, and the resistance value of the switching gate is reasonably set. The MOSFET switching loss calculation formula is as follows:
P SW =(E on +E off )×f sw
the MOSFET on-loss calculation formula is as follows:
Eon=V DS ×I D ×(t 2 +t 3 )
Figure BDA0004148547790000061
Figure BDA0004148547790000062
the MOSFET turn-off loss calculation formula is as follows:
E off =V DS ×I D ×(t 7 +t 8 )
Figure BDA0004148547790000063
Figure BDA0004148547790000064
p in the formula SW For MOSFET switching losses, E on E is the turn-on loss off F for turn-off loss sw For switching frequency, I D Is the drain current, V DSon Is the drain voltage in the on state, V DS Is the drain voltage, V GSP For Miller plateau voltage, V TH Is a threshold voltage, R Gon To turn on the gate resistance R Goff To turn off the gate resistance, R on Is the internal series connection on-resistance of PWM gate driver, R off C is a series turn-off resistor in the PWM gate driver rss For MOSFET reverse transmission capacitance, C iss For MOSFET input capacitance, R DSon Is an on-resistance. The above formula shows that: reduced on gate resistance, t 2 And t 3 The turn-on loss Eon is reduced. Reduced off gate resistance, t 7 And t 8 The off loss Eoff decreases. In general, the gate resistance is reduced, the switching rate is increased, and the switching loss P SW And (3) reducing. Similarly, for an IGBT, if the gate resistance is reducedThe switching speed is increased, and the switching loss is reduced.
As shown in FIG. 3, I nom Is the nominal current of the device, I D Is the actual current, R G Is the gate resistance, I D /I nom Is the ratio of the actual working current of the load to the nominal current of the device, and the larger the ratio is, the more serious the overload is. In the normal working state, the actual current I D Equal to the nominal current of the device I nom ,I D /I nom The controller controls the actual resistance of the adjustable grid resistor to be R G1 . When overload occurs, the load current increases beyond the normal range, I D /I nom >1, the driving circuit enters an overload non-regulation state, and the actual resistance value of the adjustable grid resistor is R G1 . Because the grid resistance is the same as the normal running state in the stage, the loss of the power device is increased without corresponding regulation and control treatment, and the duration is not suitable to be too long and should be controlled within a few milliseconds. In overload regulation state, the load current is greater than the nominal current of the device, I D /I nom >And 1, controlling the adjustable grid resistor to perform overload regulation and control by the controller. As shown in FIG. 3, when the step-by-step regulation mode is adopted, the waveform of the adjustable grid resistance is shown in FIG. 3 (a), and the actual resistance is R G2 The waveform of the adjustable gate resistance when the continuous regulation mode is adopted is shown in fig. 3 (b). When no overload regulation state exists, the load current is in a normal working range, I D /I nom =1, at which time the actuator output is the same as the overload regulation phase. This phase helps to reduce conduction losses, but is not necessary and its duration is optionally determined.
Example 1
In this embodiment, the step-by-step regulation mode shown in fig. 3 (a), two different resistance values exist in the gate resistance, and the controller in the gate driving circuit adopts an overcurrent relay. The overcurrent relay includes a controller portion and a relay portion. The gate driving circuit structure of the staged regulation mode is shown in figure 4, and comprises a current sensor, a controller, a double-pole double-throw relay, a driving chip, a pulse generator, four gate resistors (two open gate resistors R Gon1 、R Gon2 Two, twoA plurality of off gate resistors R Goff1 、R Goff2 ) A controlled Device (DUT), three DC voltage sources (an on-gate voltage source V GSon A turn-off gate voltage source V GSoff A controller DC power supply voltage source V CC ) And two ground terminals (GND 1 and GND 2). The relay includes a common contact, a normally closed contact for closing and opening (contacts for switching contact when k1=0 and k2=0), and a normally open contact for closing and opening (contacts for switching contact when k1=0 and k2=0).
The primary side of the current sensor is connected in series to enter the main loop, and the secondary side of the current sensor is connected with the controller; one port of the controller is connected with the current sensor, one port of the controller is connected with the electromagnet coil of the relay, and the other port of the controller is connected with the DC power supply voltage source V CC Are connected; one end of a contact (K1 and K2) of the public end of the double-pole double-throw relay is connected with a grid electrode (G) of a controlled Device (DUT), and the other end of the contact is connected with a grid electrode resistor; open gate resistance R Gon1 One end is connected with a normally closed contact of the relay switch K1 which is opened and closed dynamically, and the other end is connected with an on port of the driving chip; open gate resistance R Gon2 One end is connected with a normally open contact of the switch K1, and the other end is connected with an on port of the driving chip; turn-off gate resistor R Goff1 One end is connected with a normally closed contact of the relay switch K2 which is opened and closed dynamically, and the other end is connected with an off port of the driving chip; turn-off gate resistor R Goff2 One end is connected with a normally open contact of the relay switch K2, and the other end is connected with an off port of the driving chip; one port of the driving chip is connected with the driving pulse generator, and the other port is connected with GND1, V GSon Port and DC voltage source V GSon Port is connected with V GSoff Port and DC voltage source V GSoff Connected with the on port and the grid electrode opening resistor R Gon One end is connected with the off port and the grid turn-off resistor R Goff One end of the GND2 port is connected with the source electrode (S) of the controlled device and is grounded (GND 2).
When the current I is greater than the action value I predetermined by the installation position and the working task of the overcurrent relay op And the comparison link outputs the output signal, and the output signal is processed and amplified by the controller and then input into the relay coil as shown in fig. 5. When the coil is electrifiedThe magnetic flux is generated in the iron core, the armature overcomes the spring counterforce to drive the contact system to act under the action of electromagnetic attraction, the movable-closing normally-closed contact is opened, and the movable-closing normally-open contact is closed, so that the grid resistance R is opened Gon1 And R is R Gon2 (R Gon1 >R Gon2 ) Is switched to realize the turn-off gate resistance R Goff1 、R Goff2 (R Goff1 >R Goff2 ) Is to be switched between the first and second modes). Because the mechanical contact needs to be driven to rotate and close by electromagnetic force, a certain power and time are needed, the relay has the inherent action time (a few milliseconds), and the general interference can not cause misoperation. The current of the coil is lost or the current passing through the coil is obviously reduced and is smaller than the return current I which can return the overcurrent relay to the original state re (I re <I op ) When the electromagnetic attraction force is smaller than the spring counter force, the armature is released, and the common contact is reset. The process has a short delay stage, the duration time influences the time of the overload-free regulation stage, and the duration time of the delay stage can be properly prolonged or reduced according to the requirements in actual working conditions. The wiring mode circuit has simple structure, less equipment and economic price.
In the circuit topology structure, the driving circuit is in different working states, and the working states of the relay are shown in the following table 1;
operating state of the driving circuit Actuation state of common contacts K1 and K2 of the relay Current state of electromagnet coil of relay
Normal working state 0 Is smaller than the action value I op
Overload unregulated state 0 Is smaller than the action value I op
Overload regulation state 1 Is greater than the action value I op

As shown in FIG. 6, when the driving circuit is in a normal working state and an overload unregulated state, the coil current of the electromagnet of the relay is smaller than the relay action value I op The common contacts K1 and K2 of the relay are respectively attracted to the respective number 0 contacts, and the grid on resistance and the grid off resistance of the power device are respectively R Gon1 And R is Goff1
As shown in FIG. 7, when the driving circuit is in overload regulation state, the current of the coil of the relay electromagnet is greater than the relay action value I op The common contacts K1 and K2 of the relay are respectively attracted to the respective contact number 1. When the driving circuit is in an overload regulation-control state, the current of the electromagnet coil of the relay is smaller than the action current value I of the relay op Is larger than the return current value I of the relay re The common contact K1 and the common contact K2 of the relay are still attracted to the contact No. 1. In the two working states, the grid electrode on resistance and the grid electrode off resistance of the driving chip are respectively R Gon2 And R is Goff2
