In particular, to further improve efficiency and control performance, motor drivers increasingly employ third generation wide bandgap semiconductors (e.g., sicmosfets) with faster switching speeds as power switching transistors. Compared with Si material, the SiC material has the characteristics of wide forbidden band, high saturated electron drift rate, high breakdown field strength, high heat conductivity and the like, so that the SiC device has lower on-resistance, faster switching speed, higher breakdown voltage and higher heat conductivity, and the excellent characteristics bring possibility for simplifying a power electronic circuit and miniaturizing and high-efficiency of a system. Since the switching speed of SiC devices is faster (on times can reach 10-20 ns), excessive dv/dt can occur during switching.

The gate current source control signal is a digital signal, such as a pulse or PWM control signal, or an analog signal, i.e. the gate current source control signal is fed into the current source control circuit 200 in the form of a digital signal or an analog signal.
In addition, the controllable current source type gate driver assembly shown in fig. 2 can also be used independently to control the operation of the power amplifier. Wherein: the PWM control signal controls the on and off time of the power amplifier; the gate current source control signal controls the current magnitude of the first controllable current source Isp or the current magnitude of the second controllable current source Isn so as to control the on or off characteristic of the power amplifier, and finally, the magnitude of dv/dt generated in the switching process of the power amplifier is controlled. The gate current source control signal may be a digital signal or an analog signal.

As shown in fig. 3, the controllable current source driven by the gate current source control signal includes a control signal processing and electrical isolation part, a control voltage adjusting part and a voltage controlled controllable current source part.
Specifically, the current source control circuit includes an isolation module, a low pass filter circuit, and a voltage controlled current source circuit. The isolation module is used for electrically isolating and amplifying the gate current source control signal to obtain a processed voltage signal. The low-pass filter circuit is used for filtering high-frequency components in the processed voltage signals to obtain the voltage signals after the filtering operation. The voltage control current source circuit is used for generating a control signal of the first controllable current source or a control signal of the second controllable current source according to the voltage signal after filtering operation, so as to control the current magnitude of the first controllable current source Isp or the current magnitude of the second controllable current source Isn.
As shown in fig. 4, to achieve electrical isolation of the control stage and the power stage, the present embodiment provides the isolation module as a transformer isolation module 210; the transformer isolation module 210 is configured to electrically isolate and amplify a gate current source control signal in the form of a PWM control signal using a transformer isolation technique to obtain a processed voltage signal.
As shown in fig. 5, the high level of the gate current source control signal Vin is 5V, the low level is 0V, the period is 10us (switching frequency 10 kHz), the duty ratio is 50%, and after passing through the transformer isolation module 210 with the conversion ratio of 0.5 (Vp/vs=0.5), the period and the duty ratio are unchanged, and the high level vs_h becomes 10V. The transformer isolation technique is only effective for ac input voltages, and therefore requires maximum and minimum duty cycles of the gate current source control signal, e.g., the duty cycle needs to be controlled between 5% -95%.
The low-pass filter circuit 220 is a first-order low-pass filter circuit composed of a resistor and a capacitor, and has a filter time constant τ=r 0 C 0 The method comprises the steps of carrying out a first treatment on the surface of the For example, R 0 =1k ohm,C 0 =1uf, filter time constant τ=1 ms. The low-pass filter circuit 220 is configured to filter the high-frequency component in the processed voltage signal Vs, to obtain a filtered voltage signal, and to serve as a control input for driving the current source, where the filtering effect is as shown in fig. 6. After passing through the low-pass filter circuit 220, the output voltage V0 is a direct current with small fluctuation, and the voltage amplitude is about v0=d×vs_h=5v, where d=0.5, vs_h=10v.
The voltage-controlled current source circuit 230 is configured to generate a control signal of the first controllable current source or a control signal of the second controllable current source according to the voltage signal after the filtering operation.
The calculation formula of the output current of the current source is as follows:
in the present embodiment, R is as shown in FIG. 7 2 =R 1 =10kOhm,R s =10 Ohm, thus I out ≈0.5A。
Besides, the isolation module can also adopt optocoupler isolation, capacitance isolation and the like besides the transformer magnetic isolation technology, namely the isolation module is a transformer isolation module, an optocoupler isolation module or an optocoupler isolation module.
As shown in fig. 8, the isolation module is an optocoupler isolation module 211; the optocoupler isolation module 211 is configured to electrically isolate and amplify a gate current source control signal in the form of a PWM control signal by using an optocoupler isolation technology, so as to obtain a processed voltage signal.
As shown in fig. 9, the isolation module may be an analog signal isolation module 212; the analog signal isolation module 212 is configured to electrically isolate and amplify a gate current source control signal in the form of an analog signal by using an analog signal isolation technique, so as to obtain a processed voltage signal.
As shown in fig. 9, a phototransistor optocoupler is used to transmit analog signals. The input analog signal control signal Vin adjusts the base control voltage of the PNP transistor Q11 through a voltage follower, so that the magnitude of current flowing through the light emitting diode D11 is adjusted through a current limiting resistor R11, a circuit of the transistor Q11 and the light emitting diode D11, and the intensity of light emitted by the light emitting diode is changed; the photo transistor Q12 generates a current If by receiving the light emitted from the D11, and the magnitude of the current If is proportional to the intensity of the generated light. Output voltage vs=r12×if. The output voltage is thus managed in proportion to the control voltage VIN, vs=k. The magnitude of the specific gain k is related to the magnitude of the resistance values of R11 and R12, the current amplification factor of the transistor Q11, and the current transmission ratio of D11 to Q12, and specific design is required according to actual requirements.
Fig. 9 is only a specific embodiment supporting analog signals as gate current source control signals, and the control signals may also be transmitted in signal isolation by using other analog signal isolation principles including Sigma-Delta.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the following beneficial effects:
1) A controllable current source (Isp, isn) is connected in series with the switching device (Sp, sn) to provide a charge and discharge loop for the power switching transistor gate.
2) The invention can realize continuous adjustment of the gate driving capability through continuous control signals, thereby eliminating waveform distortion and oscillation caused by discontinuous driving. The gate current source control signal may be a digital signal in the form of a pulse such as PWM, or may be an analog signal.
When the gate current source control signal is given in the form of PWM, the duty cycle of PWM represents the magnitude of the drive current; the duty ratio information is transmitted to a high-voltage side current source control circuit through an isolation technology; and then the duty ratio information is converted into corresponding direct current voltage information through a low-pass filter. Finally, the control of the driving current is realized by the voltage control current source circuit.
In the present specification, each embodiment is described in a progressive manner, and each embodiment is mainly described in a different point from other embodiments, and identical and similar parts between the embodiments are all enough to refer to each other.
