A kind of IGBT drive circuit of high reliability
Technical field
This utility model relates to IGBT technical field, particularly relates to the IGBT drive circuit of a kind of high reliability.
Background technology
IGBT is the multiple device of MOSFET and bipolar transistor.The feature that its existing MOSFET easily drives, has again merit
The advantages such as rate transistor voltage, current capacity are big.Its frequency characteristic, between MOSFET and power transistor, can normally work
In tens kHz frequency ranges, therefore occupy leading position in the big or middle power of upper frequency is applied.
IGBT is voltage-controlled device, applies the DC voltage of tens V, only μ A level between its gate-emitter
Leakage current flow through, the most not power consumption.But it is (thousand of to there is bigger parasitic capacitance between the gate-emitter of IGBT
To pF up to ten thousand), rising and trailing edge at driving pulse voltage need to provide the charging and discharging currents of number A, could meet open with
The dynamic requirements turned off, this makes its drive circuit also must export certain peak point current.
IGBT as a kind of powerful multiple device, also existed stream time it may happen that locking phenomena and cause damage
Problem.When crossing stream, the speed as used blocks grid voltage, and too high current changing rate can cause overvoltage, needs for this
Soft switching technology to be used, thus grasp the driving of IGBT and protection feature is the most necessary.
The grid of IGBT realizes electric isolution by layer oxide film with emitter stage.Owing to this oxide-film is the thinnest, its breakdown potential
Pressure typically can only achieve 20~30V, and therefore gate breakdown is one of common cause of IGBT inefficacy.Although the most sometimes protecting
Demonstrate,prove gate drive voltage and be not above the maximum rated voltage of grid, but the stray inductance of gate trace and grid-inter-collector
Capacitance Coupled, also can produce the oscillating voltage making oxide layer damage.Small resistor of generally connecting in gate trace for this is permissible
Suppression oscillating voltage.
As shown in Figure 1, 2, in existing IGBT drive circuit, due to gate-emitter and the grid-colelctor electrode of IGBT
Between also exist distribution capacity Cge and Cgc, and emitter stage drive circuit there are distributed inductance Le, these distributed constants
Impact so that the actual drive waveforms of IGBT is incomplete same with preferable drive waveforms, and create be unfavorable for IGBT open with
The factor turned off.As it is shown on figure 3, in the t0 moment, gate drive voltage begins to ramp up, now affect grid voltage uge and rise tiltedly
The principal element of rate only has Rg and Cge, and grid voltage rises very fast.The grid threshold value of IGBT, colelctor electrode is reached in the t1 moment
Electric current begins to ramp up.2 reasons are had to cause uge waveform to deviate original track from now on.First, in emitter circuit
Induced voltage on distributed inductance Le strengthens along with the increase of collector current ic, thus weakens gate drive voltage, and
And reduce the climbing of uge between gate-emitter, slow down the growth of collector current.
Secondly, another factor affecting gate driver circuit voltage is the Miller effect of grid-collector capacitance Cgc.
In the t2 moment, collector current reaches maximum, and then grid-inter-collector electric capacity Cgc starts electric discharge, increases in the driving circuit
Add the capacity current of Cgc so that the pressure drop in drive circuit internal impedance increases, and also weakens gate drive voltage.Obviously,
The impedance of gate driver circuit is the lowest, and this effect is the most weak, and this effect is maintained to the t3 moment, till uce drops to zero.It
Impact slow down the opening process of IGBT equally.After the t3 moment, ic reaches steady-state value, and the factor affecting grid voltage uge disappears
After mistake, uge reaches maximum with climbing faster.
Be can be seen that by Fig. 3 waveform, due to the existence of Le and Cgc, in the actual motion of IGBT, the climbing speed of uge slows down
Many, the effect that this obstruction driving voltage rises, show as collector current is risen and the obstruction of opening process.In order to
Slowing down this effect, the internal resistance that should make Le and Cgc of IGBT module and gate driver circuit is the least, opens speed faster to obtain
Degree.
Waveform when IGBT turns off is as shown in Figure 4.T0 moment gate drive voltage begins to decline, and reaches firm energy in the t1 moment
Maintaining the level of colelctor electrode running current, IGBT enters linear work district, and uce begins to ramp up, now, and grid-colelctor electrode
Between the Miller effect of electric capacity Cgc dominate the rising of uce, because Cgc couples charging effect, uge is basically unchanged during t1-t2,
The speed that intrinsic impedance is determined between t2 moment uge and ic starts with gate-emitter declines, and when t3, uge and ic is equal
Reducing to zero, shutoff terminates.As seen from Figure 4, due to the existence of electric capacity Cgc so that the turn off process of IGBT also extends many.
In order to reduce this impact, on the one hand IGBT device less for Cgc should be selected;On the other hand the internal impedance of drive circuit should be reduced,
The charging current making inflow Cgc increases, and accelerates the rate of climb of uce.
In actual applications, the uge amplitude of IGBT also contributes to saturation conduction pressure drop: uge to be increased, and saturation conduction voltage will
Reduce.Owing to saturation conduction voltage is the one of the main reasons of IGBT heating, it is therefore necessary to reduce as far as possible.Generally uge be 15~
18V, if too high, easily causes gate breakdown.Typically take 15V.Add certain negative bias to when IGBT turns off its gate-emitter
It is pressed with the anti-harassing and wrecking ability beneficially improving IGBT, generally takes 5~10V.

Detailed description of the invention
Below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiment, detailed description of the invention of the present utility model is further described.Hereinafter implement
Example is only used for clearly illustrating the technical solution of the utility model, and can not limit protection model of the present utility model with this
Enclose.
The IGBT drive circuit of of the present utility model a kind of high reliability as shown in Figure 5, IGBT drive circuit includes
Control circuit and driven IGBT, control circuit includes power supply circuits, voltage amplifier circuit, impulse circuit, power supply circuits defeated
Going out end and connect the input of described voltage amplifier circuit, the outfan of voltage amplifier circuit connects the input of impulse circuit, arteries and veins
The outfan rushing circuit connects the input being driven IGBT.
The drive circuit of IGBT must possess 2 functions: one be realize control circuit with driven the electricity of IGBT grid every
From;Two are to provide suitable gate driving pulse.Realize electric isolution and can use pulse transformer, differential transformer and photoelectric coupling
Device.Use the IGBT drive circuit that the discrete components such as photo-coupler are constituted.When inputting control signal, optocoupler 10 foot turns on,
Transistor V12 ends, V11 conducting output+15V driving voltage.When inputting control signal optocoupler 10 foot and being zero, V11 ends,
V12 turns on, and exports-10V voltage.+ 15V and-10V power supply need near drive circuit, and drive circuit is directly installed on IGBT.
The driving transistor base input of control circuit adds electric capacity C92, i.e. drives transistor base shunt capacitance,
Slow fall grid voltage technology is used to control the fall off rate of fault current, thus the peak value of dv/dt and uce of suppression device, reach
The purpose of short-circuit protection: IGBT can bear the short circuit current of very short time, can bear the time of short circuit current and leading of this IGBT
Logical saturation voltage drop is relevant, extends along with the increase of saturation conduction pressure drop.As allowed to bear less than the IGBT of 2V in saturation voltage drop
Short circuit duration is less than 5 μ s, and the IGBT short circuit duration allowed to bear of saturation voltage drop 3V is up to 15 μ s, up to 30 μ s when 4~5V
Above.There is relation above is owing to along with the reduction of saturation conduction pressure drop, the impedance of IGBT also reduces, and short circuit current increases simultaneously
Greatly, power consumption during short circuit, along with square increasing of electric current, causes the time bearing short circuit to reduce rapidly.The protection being usually taken is arranged
Soft switching and fall grid voltage two kinds are executed.Soft switching refers to, when crossing stream and short circuit, directly turn off IGBT.But, the anti-harassing and wrecking of soft switching
Ability, once detect that over-current signal just turns off, it is easy to misoperation occurs.For increasing the anti-harassing and wrecking ability of protection circuit,
A time delay can be added between fault-signal and starting protection circuit, but fault current can steeply rise, greatly in this time delay
Adding greatly power attenuation, the di/dt simultaneously also resulting in device increases.So protection circuit starts often, device is still
So it is broken.Fall grid voltage is intended to detect when stream crossed by device, reduces grid voltage at once, but device still maintains conducting.It is provided with after fall grid voltage
Constant time lag, fault current is limited in a smaller value in this time delay, then the power consumption of device when reducing fault, extends
Time of device resistance to shorting, and di/dt when device turns off can be reduced, highly beneficial to device protection.If after time delay
Fault-signal still exists, then turn off device, if fault-signal disappears, drive circuit can recover normal duty automatically,
Thus greatly strengthen anti-harassing and wrecking ability.
10 feet of ACPL-38JT immediately turn off when a failure occurs it, and electric capacity C92 voltage is slowly discharged by R69 and R134,
Will not drop immediately.When voltage falling goes out the amplification region to Q11 audion, the saturation region of Q11 audion, the emitter current of Q11
Slow fall, the fault current of IGBT is limited in a smaller value in this time delay, it is achieved that fall grid voltage protection turns off.
Additionally increase electric capacity at transistor base input and can also prevent from disturbing the misoperation caused, and restricted software mistake
The superelevation switching frequency caused etc. advantage.
Driven IGBT gate series resistance R78, reduced the climbing speed of gate drive voltage, suppressed the peak value of electric current,
The impedance making grid circuit is of a sufficiently low, to reduce the infringement of unexpected due to voltage spikes as far as possible, eliminates negative effect: when turning off IGBT,
The rate of descent of its collector current is higher, the most in case of short-circuit faults, if do not taked soft switching measure, and facing of it
Boundary's current reduction ratio is up to several kA/ μ s.High current reduction ratio will induce higher on the distributed inductance of main circuit
Overvoltage, the running orbit of its current/voltage will be made when causing IGBT to turn off to damage beyond its safety operation area.Institute
With from the point of view of turning off, it is desirable to inductance and the current reduction ratio of main circuit are the smaller the better.But for IGBT opens,
The inductance of collector circuit is conducive to the peak electricity suppressing the reverse recovery current of fly-wheel diode and capacitor charging/discharging to cause
Stream, can reduce turn-on consumption, bears and higher opens current-rising-rate.Generally the colelctor electrode of IGBT on-off circuit is not required to
Wanting series inductance, its turn-on consumption can be controlled by by improving raster data model condition.
The rising of gate drive voltage, IGBT is opened turn off process by fall off rate large effect.The MOS of IGBT
Raceway groove directly controlling by grid voltage, and the drain current of MOSFET part controls the grid current of bipolar portion so that
The turn-on characteristics of IGBT depends mainly on its MOSFET part, so opening of IGBT is affected relatively by gate drive waveform
Greatly.The turn-off characteristic of IGBT depends primarily on the recombination rate of internal few son, and the compound of few son is affected by the shutoff of MOSFET, institute
With raster data model, the shutoff of IGBT is also had an impact.
When frequency applications, the rising of driving voltage, fall off rate should soon, to improve IGBT switching rate reduction damage
Consumption.
IGBT opens the fastest in normal state, is lost the least.But reverse if any fly-wheel diode in opening process
Restoring current and the discharge current of Absorption Capacitance, then open the fastest, and the peak point current that IGBT bears is the biggest, is more easily caused IGBT
Infringement.Now should reduce the climbing speed of gate drive voltage, i.e. increase the resistance of gate series resistance, suppress the peak of this electric current
Value.Its cost is bigger turn-on consumption.Utilizing this technology, the current peak of opening process can control at arbitrary value.
Being analyzed from above, the opening process of IGBT is affected relatively big by gate series resistance and drive circuit internal impedance,
And smaller on turn off process impact, series resistance is little is conducive to accelerating to turn off speed, reduces turn-off power loss, but too small meeting causes
Di/dt is excessive, produces bigger collector voltage spike.Therefore to require to combine according to specific design to series resistance comprehensively
The consideration closed.
The waveform of driving pulse is also had an impact by resistance.Impulse hunting, excessive seasonal pulse can be caused when resistance value is too small
Before and after rushing waveform, edge can occur to postpone and slow down.Grid input capacitance Cge of IGBT is along with the increase of its rated current capacity
And increase.In order to keep before and after identical driving pulse along speed, for the IGBT device that current capacity is big, should provide bigger
Front and back along charging current.To this end, the resistance value of gate series resistance should reduce along with the increase of IGBT current capacity.
