Abstract

The device has a semiconductor device (H) to activate a power semiconductor. The progression of a gate-emitter voltage is provided such that the switching operation of the semiconductor is adapted with respect to the switching and outlet losses, disconnectability, switching surge and electromagnetic compatibility of the semiconductor by optimizing the voltage, current, switching temperature or external conditions. An independent claim is also included for a method for optimization of a switching operation of a power semiconductor.

Description

Aufbau:Construction:

Die Erfindung besteht darin, dass im Gegensatz zur allgemein üblichen Ansteuerung eines Leistungshalbleiters LH dieser ausgeführt vorzugsweise als MOSFET oder IGBT, mittels einer (evtl. auch mehrstufigen) Treiberstufe und einer Widerstands/Diodenbeschaltung, welche nach Implementierung der Schaltung durch die verwendeten Bauelemente stets einen festen Verlauf der Gate-Emitterspannung beim Ein- und Ausschaltvorgang vorgeben, die Ansteuerschaltung (AS) mit einem getakteten (T = Taktgeber), programmierbaren Halbleiterbauelement H, vorzugsweise einem Mikroprozessor oder FPGA, ausgestattet ist, welches über einen externen oder internen Speicher SP zur Ablegung von Daten verfügt. Dieser kann als einmal beschreibbarer, mehrfach beschreibbarer oder herstellerseitig vorprogrammierter Speicher ausgeführt sein. Ein interner oder externer D/A-Wandler wandelt die vom Bauelement H ausgegebenen digitalen Werte / Informationen (ggf. über einen Verstärker V) in eine analoge Spannung UGEI, welche ggf. über eine weitere Treiberschaltung TS ohne zusätzliche galvanische Trennung an den Gate-Anschluss des Leistungshalbleiters LH angelegt wird. Der Emitteranschluss des Leistungshalbleiters wird mit dem Massepotenzial der Ansteuerschaltung AS verbunden. Die Ansteuerschaltung kann neben der Schnittstelle S1für den Schaltbefehl SSchalt auch eine weitere Schnittstelle S2 zur uni- oder bidirektionalen Übermittlung anderer Informationen (auch während des Betriebs) zur und von der Ansteuerschaltung AS besitzen. Die Bauteile Verstärker V und Treiberschaltung TS können, müssen aber nicht Bestandteil der Schaltungsanordnung sein. The invention consists in that in contrast to the generally usual control of a power semiconductor LH this preferably carried out as a MOSFET or IGBT, by means of a (possibly multi-stage) driver stage and a resistor / diode circuit, which after implementation of the circuit by the components used always a fixed Specify the course of the gate-emitter voltage during switching on and off, the drive circuit (AS) with a clocked (T = clock), programmable semiconductor device H, preferably a microprocessor or FPGA, equipped, which via an external or internal memory SP for the deposition of Data has. This can be designed as a rewritable, multi-writable or manufacturer-preprogrammed memory. An internal or external D / A converter converts the digital values / information output by the component H (possibly via an amplifier V) into an analog voltage U GEI which, if appropriate, is connected to the gate via a further driver circuit TS without additional galvanic isolation. Connection of the power semiconductor LH is created. The emitter terminal of the power semiconductor is connected to the ground potential of the drive circuit AS. In addition to the interface S1 for the switching command S switching , the control circuit can also have a further interface S2 for unidirectional or bidirectional transmission of other information (also during operation) to and from the control circuit AS. The components amplifier V and driver circuit TS can, but need not be part of the circuit arrangement.

Funktion:Function:

Sobald die Ansteuerschaltung einen Schaltbefehl SSchalt erhält, wird die Aus- gangsspannung UGE1, welche i.d.R über eine weitere Treiberstufe (TS) an den Gate-Anschluss G angelegt wird (dann UGE2), vom programmierbaren Halbleiterbauelement mit einem zeitlichen Verlauf entsprechend der im Speicher hinterlegten Kennlinie/Kennfeld und ggf. abhängig von über Schnittstelle S2 erhaltenen Irformationen (z.B. über den geschalteten Strom oder die Chiptemperatur) ausgegeben. Durch den programmierbaren zeitlichen Verlauf der steuernden Gate-Emitterspannung UGE1 kann das Schaltverhalten des Leistungshalbleiters für alle denkbaren Anwendungen und Einsatzbedingungen hinsichtlich der unter Anspruch 1 genannten Aspekte flexibel optimiert werden.As soon as the drive circuit receives a switching command S switching , the output voltage U GE1 , which is usually applied via a further driver stage (TS) to the gate terminal G (then U GE2 ), from the programmable semiconductor device with a time course corresponding to the Memory stored characteristic curve / map and possibly depending on received via interface S2 Irformation (eg on the switched current or the chip temperature) output. Due to the programmable time profile of the controlling gate emitter voltage U GE1 , the switching behavior of the power semiconductor can be flexibly optimized for all conceivable applications and operating conditions with regard to the aspects mentioned under claim 1.

Bislang mussten Ansteuerschaltungen für nichteinrastende, abschaltbare Leistungshalbleiter meist unter Berücksichtigung eines „Restrisikos" sehr defensiv (d.h. mit langsamen Schaltzeiten = mit hohen Verlusten) ausgelegt werden, um auch im ungünstigsten Betriebsfall Kurzschlussfestigkeit und EMV-Grenzwerte sicherzustellen, da das Schaltverhalten des Leistungshalbleiters stets mit Definition der Gate-Beschaltung (R,L,C) festgelegt war. Eine Auslegung in Richtung schnellerer Schaltzeiten zur Verlustreduzierung hatte einen höheren externen Entstörungsaufwand und problematischeres Kurzschlussverhalten des Leistungshalbleiters zur Folge. Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung bietet z.B. die Möglichkeit, in kritischen Momenten des Schaltverhaltens des Leistungshalbleiters den Auf- oder Abbau der Gateladung gezielt zu verlangsamen, und in unkritischen Zeitabschnitten gezielt zu beschleunigen.So far had to drive circuits for non-latching, switchable power semiconductors are usually very defensive (i. e., taking into account a "residual risk"). with slow switching times = with high losses), in the worst case too Ensure operation short-circuit strength and EMC limit values, because the switching behavior of the power semiconductor always with definition of Gate wiring (R, L, C) was fixed. An interpretation in the direction faster switching times for loss reduction had a higher external interference suppression and more problematic short circuit behavior of the power semiconductor result. The device according to the invention offers e.g. the possibility, in critical moments of the switching behavior of the power semiconductor specifically to slow down the up or down of the gate charge, and Speeding up in uncritical time periods.

Die Erfindung ermöglicht, Schaltnetzgeräte der Energieelektronik, vorzugsweise Pulsumrichter, Hoch-/Tiefsetzsteller oder Wechselrichter, hinsichtlich verschiedener, nach Stand der Technik auch gegensätzlicher Anforderungen durch applikationsabhängige Ansteuerung des Leistungshalbleiters mit dem jeweils idealen Steuerspannungsverlauf zu optimieren.The Invention allows Switched-mode power supply units of Energy electronics, preferably pulse converters, boost / buck converter or inverter, in terms of various, as of Technology also more contradictory Requirements due to application-dependent control of the power semiconductor to optimize with the ideal control voltage curve.

Die Erfindung ermöglicht Schaltnetzteile, Pulsumrichter oder Wechselrichter mit gleichzeitig besonders hohem Wirkungsgrad, besonders geringen elektromagnetischen Rückwirkungen und mit sehr hoher Kurzschlussfestigkeit.The Invention allows Switching power supplies, pulse inverters or inverters with at the same time special high efficiency, particularly low electromagnetic repercussions and with very high short-circuit strength.

Die Möglichkeit der Kommunikation der Ansteuerschaltung mit anderen Komponenten des Gesamtsystems nach Anspruch 2 ermöglicht es, den Leistungshalbleiter auch abhängig von ansteuerschaltungsexternen Bedingungen, z.B. auslastungs- und/oder umgebungstemperaturabhängig, hinsichtlich des Wirkungsgrades, der elektromagnetischen Verträglichkeit und des Kurzschlussverhaltens auch während des laufenden Betriebs stets mit ideal angepasstem Schaltverhalten zu betreiben.The possibility the communication of the drive circuit with other components of the overall system according to claim 2 makes it possible to use the power semiconductor also dependent of drive circuit external conditions, e.g. utilization and / or ambient temperature dependent, in terms of efficiency, electromagnetic compatibility and the short-circuit behavior even during operation Always operate with ideally adapted switching behavior.
