Description

閘極驅動器及驅動方法Gate driver and driving method

本發明是有關於一種功率開關所使用的閘極驅動器及驅動方法,特別是指一種閘極驅動器及驅動方法。The invention relates to a gate driver and a driving method used in a power switch, in particular to a gate driver and a driving method.

已知在MOSFET電源開關的總功率損耗中,切換損耗佔了重要的地位。因為MOSFET電源開關在開啟/關閉的暫態期間(transient period)顯示出阻抗的特性,開關頻率越高,損耗越多。Switching losses are known to play an important role in the total power loss of MOSFET power switches. Since the MOSFET power switch exhibits an impedance characteristic during a transient period of on/off, the higher the switching frequency, the more the loss.

MOSFET電源開關的閘極一般而言可視為一電容,傳統用於n通道MOSFET電源開關的正輸出電壓閘極驅動器只能由正電壓源驅動,但n通道MOSFET電源開關的閘極在關閉期間(turn-off period)無法快速驅動,因此造成切換損耗增加。The gate of a MOSFET power switch can generally be regarded as a capacitor. The conventional positive output voltage gate driver for an n-channel MOSFET power switch can only be driven by a positive voltage source, but the gate of the n-channel MOSFET power switch is turned off ( The turn-off period) cannot be driven quickly, thus causing an increase in switching loss.

為了降低前述的切換損耗,已知有用於閘極驅動器的共振電路被提出,然而,易增加費用及複雜性。另一種方式是應用正輸出電壓及負輸出電壓驅動n通道MOSFET電源開關,藉此降低n通道MOSFET電源開關的閘極的關閉暫態期間及放電時間。然而,此方案需要一正輸出電壓源及另一負輸出電壓源去驅動n通道MOSFET電源 開關,在工業應用上不便利。In order to reduce the aforementioned switching loss, a resonance circuit for a gate driver has been proposed, however, it is easy to increase cost and complexity. Another way is to use the positive output voltage and the negative output voltage to drive the n-channel MOSFET power switch, thereby reducing the off transient period and discharge time of the gate of the n-channel MOSFET power switch. However, this solution requires a positive output voltage source and another negative output voltage source to drive the n-channel MOSFET power supply. Switches are not convenient for industrial applications.

因此,本發明之目的,即在提供一種符合精簡化設計及可快速放電而降低能量損耗之閘極驅動器及驅動方法。Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a gate driver and a driving method that meet a simplified design and can be quickly discharged to reduce energy loss.
