參閱圖2,配合圖3及圖4,以下介紹閘極驅動器100的兩種控制模式如何運作;需注意的是,本實施例是假設對於所有的二極體的前饋電壓為0,沿著第一電容C1 的電壓vC1 及第二電容C2 的電壓vC2 之值均接近輸入電壓(VCC )。Referring to FIG. 2, in conjunction with FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the following describes how the two control modes of the gate driver 100 operate; it should be noted that this embodiment assumes that the feedforward voltage for all diodes is zero, along The values of the voltage v C1 of the first capacitor C 1 and the voltage v C2 of the second capacitor C 2 are both close to the input voltage (V CC ).

參閱圖3及圖5,閘極驅動器100在第一模式下,各元件的詳細動作為:第一電晶體Q1 導通及第二電晶 體Q2 不導通,第一二極體D1 被反向偏壓(reverse biased)且第一電容C1 放電,在此模式下,第三電晶體Q3 的閘極和源極之間的電壓v gs 3 為-V CC ,使得第三電晶體Q3 導通,第四電晶體Q4 的閘極和源極之間的電壓v gs4 為0,使得第四電晶體Q4 不導通;同時,第五電晶體Q5 的閘極和源極之間的電壓v gs5 為-2V CC 使得第五電晶體Q5 導通,而第六電晶體Q6 的閘極和源極之間的電壓v gs 6 為-V CC ,使得第六電晶體Q6 不導通,使得加載於儲能元件Cgs 的輸出電壓v gs 為3V CC (三倍輸入電壓)。因而,在第一模式中,第一充電迴路111及第二充電迴路121均是藉由輸入電壓VCC 對儲能元件Cgs 充電而得以輸出三倍輸入電壓。Referring to FIG. 3 and FIG. 5, the gate driver 100 in the first mode, the detailed operation of each element is: a first transistor Q 1 turns on and the second transistor Q 2 is not turned on, a first diode D 1 is reverse and the first capacitor C 1 is discharged to the bias voltage (reverse biased), in this mode, the voltage v between the gate of the third transistor Q 3 and the source electrode 3 is GS - V CC, so that the third transistor Q 3 is turned on, the voltage v gs4 between the gate of the fourth transistor Q 4 and the source is 0, so the fourth transistor Q 4 nonconducting; while pole between the fifth transistor Q 5 of the gate and source the voltage v GS5 is -2 V CC, so that the fifth transistor Q 5 is turned on, the voltage v between the sixth transistor Q 6 gate and the source 6 is a GS - V CC, so that a sixth transistor Q 6 is not turned on, so that the energy storage element C gs load output voltage v gs is 3 V CC (three times the input voltage). Therefore, in the first mode, the first charging circuit 111 and the second charging circuit 121 both output three times the input voltage by charging the energy storage element C gs by the input voltage V CC .

參閱圖4及圖5,閘極驅動器100在第二模式下,第一放電迴路112及第二放電迴路122以該正電壓(+VCC )之電源對對儲能元件Cgs 放電,各元件的詳細動作為:第一電晶體Q1 不導通及第二電晶體Q2 導通,第一二極體D1 及第二二極體D2 被正向偏壓(forward biased)且第一電容C1 第二電容C2 被快速充電至VCC ,在此模式下,第三電晶體Q3 的閘極和源極之間的電壓v gs 3 為0,使得第三電晶體Q3不導通,第四電晶體Q4 的閘極和源極之間的電壓v gs4 V CC ,使得第四電晶體Q4 導通;同時,第五電晶體Q5 的閘極和源極之間的電壓v gs5 為0,使得第五電晶體Q5 不導通,而第六電晶體Q6 的閘極和源極之間的電壓v gs 6V CC ,使得第六電晶體Q6 導通,使得加載於儲能元件Cgs 的輸出電壓v gs 為0,亦即不產生電壓。Referring to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, in the second mode, the first discharge circuit 112 and the second discharge circuit 122 discharge the energy storage element C gs by the power source of the positive voltage (+V CC ). The detailed action is as follows: the first transistor Q 1 is not turned on and the second transistor Q 2 is turned on, and the first diode D 1 and the second diode D 2 are forward biased and the first capacitor the second capacitor C 2 C 1 is quickly charged to V CC, in this mode, the voltage v between the gate of the third transistor Q 3 and the source is 0 GS 3, so that the third transistor Q3 is not turned on, The voltage v gs4 between the gate and the source of the fourth transistor Q 4 is V CC such that the fourth transistor Q 4 is turned on; meanwhile, the voltage between the gate and the source of the fifth transistor Q 5 is v gs5 is 0, so that the fifth transistor Q 5 is not turned on, the voltage v between the sixth transistor Q 6 gate and the source of the GS 6 is V CC, so that the sixth transistor Q 6 is turned on, so that the loading in The output voltage v gs of the energy storage element C gs is zero, that is, no voltage is generated.

因此,綜合以上說明,可知閘極驅動器100的輸出可在第一模式及第二模式間歇地產生三倍輸入電壓。Therefore, based on the above description, it is understood that the output of the gate driver 100 can intermittently generate three times the input voltage in the first mode and the second mode.
