Description

一種實現閘極驅動電路的系統和方法 System and method for implementing gate driving circuit

本發明涉及電路領域,更具體地涉及實現閘極驅動電路的系統和方法。 The present invention relates to the field of circuits, and more particularly, to a system and method for implementing a gate driving circuit.

開關電源應用中,控制外部功率MOS(Metal Oxide Semiconductor,金屬氧化物半導體)開關的晶片級驅動電路設計,需要在保證較高的系統效率的前提下,滿足EMI(Electro-Magnetic Interference,電磁干擾)要求。 In switching power supply applications, the design of a chip-level drive circuit that controls external power MOS (Metal Oxide Semiconductor) switches needs to meet EMI (Electro-Magnetic Interference, electromagnetic interference) while ensuring high system efficiency. Claim.

在傳統的驅動電路設計中,上述兩個要求很難同時滿足,當驅動很強時,開關損耗可以降低,得到比較高的傳輸效率,但此時,EMI往往不能滿足要求,尤其針對目前新型的超結功率MOS,這種矛盾顯得尤為突出。 In the traditional drive circuit design, the above two requirements are difficult to meet at the same time. When the drive is strong, the switching loss can be reduced to obtain a relatively high transmission efficiency. However, at this time, EMI often cannot meet the requirements, especially for the current new-type This contradiction is particularly prominent in super-junction power MOS.

第1圖是示出了傳統的實現閘極驅動電路的系統的簡化圖。一種傳統的方法是,在驅動電路輸出到功率MOS的閘極串聯一定阻值的電阻來解決EMI,如第1圖所示,第1圖中包括了驅動晶片和外部功率MOS。這樣做,必然會使開關損耗增大而降低效率。 FIG. 1 is a simplified diagram showing a conventional system for implementing a gate driving circuit. A traditional method is to connect a resistor with a certain resistance value in series to the gate of the output of the driving circuit to the power MOS to solve EMI. As shown in FIG. 1, the first figure includes the driving chip and the external power MOS. Doing so will inevitably increase switching losses and reduce efficiency.

第2圖是示出了如第1圖中所示的系統的Vg波形圖。閘極驅動串聯(虛線)以及不串聯電阻(實線)的Vg波形如第2圖所示。如第2圖的實線所示,在不串聯電阻時,閘極驅動波形的上升沿和下降沿都比較快,且波形上會呈現明顯的振盪,這會影響EMI特性。另一方面,如虛線所示,在串聯電阻時,閘極驅動波形的上升沿和下降沿變得比較緩慢,振盪得以抑制,但驅動損耗會增大。 Fig. 2 is a Vg waveform diagram showing a system as shown in Fig. 1. The Vg waveform of the gate drive in series (dashed line) and non-series resistance (solid line) is shown in Figure 2. As shown by the solid line in Figure 2, when there is no series resistor, the rising and falling edges of the gate drive waveform are faster, and the waveform will show obvious oscillations, which will affect the EMI characteristics. On the other hand, as shown by the dotted line, when the resistor is connected in series, the rising and falling edges of the gate drive waveform become slower and oscillations are suppressed, but the drive loss increases.

如第2圖所示,當施加電壓時,將產生輸入電流Igate= I1+I2;施加閘-源電壓Vgs,則漏-源電壓Vds就會下降。在導通或關斷過程中,閘-源極的總等效電容Ceq為:Igate=I1+I2=(Cgd×(1+Av)+Cgs)×dVgs/dt=Ceq×dVgs/dt As shown in Figure 2, when a voltage is applied, an input current Igate = I1 + I2; when the gate-source voltage Vgs is applied, the drain-source voltage Vds decreases. During turn-on or turn-off, the total equivalent capacitance Ceq of the gate-source is: Igate = I1 + I2 = (Cgd × (1 + Av) + Cgs) × dVgs / dt = Ceq × dVgs / dt

其中,Igate為閘極電流,I1為流過閘漏電容Cgd的電流,I2為流過閘源電容Cgs的電流,而(1+Av)稱作米勒效應參數,它描述了輸出和輸入之間的電容回饋。當閘-漏電壓接近於零時,將會產生米勒效應。在MOS開通前,D極電壓大於G極電壓,MOS寄生電容Cgd儲存的電量需要在其導通時注入G極與其中的電荷中和。米勒效應會嚴重增加MOS的開通損耗,產生米勒平臺,從而MOS電晶體不能迅速進入導通或關斷狀態。 Among them, Igate is the gate current, I1 is the current flowing through the gate leakage capacitor Cgd, I2 is the current flowing through the gate source capacitor Cgs, and (1 + Av) is called the Miller effect parameter, which describes the output and input Capacitor feedback. When the gate-drain voltage approaches zero, the Miller effect will occur. Before the MOS is turned on, the D-pole voltage is greater than the G-pole voltage, and the amount of electricity stored in the MOS parasitic capacitor Cgd needs to be injected into the G-pole to neutralize the charge when it is on. The Miller effect will seriously increase the turn-on loss of the MOS, resulting in a Miller platform, so that the MOS transistor cannot quickly enter the on or off state.

第3圖是示出了如第1圖中所示的系統的工作波形的圖示。其中,drv_h為上電晶體MN_hs的驅動信號,drv_l為下電晶體MN_ls的驅動信號,td為上下電晶體之間的死區時間,閘極為驅動晶片PIN腳上的波形,Vg為外部功率MOS閘極電壓波形,上升和下降沿都存在米勒平臺,tr和tf為上升和下降時間,隨Rg的增大而增大,損耗也隨之增大。從而,第1圖的驅動架構很難在損耗和EMI之間做很好的平衡。 FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the operating waveforms of the system as shown in FIG. 1. Among them, drv_h is the driving signal of the power-on transistor MN_hs, drv_l is the driving signal of the power-down transistor MN_ls, td is the dead time between the upper and lower transistors, the gate electrode drives the waveform on the pin of the chip, and Vg is the external power MOS gate There is a Miller plateau on the pole voltage waveform, rising and falling edges, tr and tf are rising and falling times, which increase with the increase of Rg, and the loss also increases. As a result, the drive architecture in Figure 1 makes it difficult to make a good balance between loss and EMI.

第4圖是示出了另一種傳統的實現閘極驅動電路的系統的簡化圖。第1圖的架構是改善EMI的一種方式,但此方法只能對驅動上升和下降沿做等量的調節,而無法對上升和下降沿分別調節,靈活性差。如果希望對上升和下降沿分別做調節,可對上升沿和下降沿引入不同的電阻,第4圖和第1圖方法的區別是通過二極體隔離的方式,針對上升沿和下降沿引入不同的電阻Rgh和Rgl,上升沿和下降沿的快慢可以通過採用不同的Rgh和Rgl來實現,調節更加靈活。 FIG. 4 is a simplified diagram showing another conventional system for implementing a gate driving circuit. The architecture of Figure 1 is a way to improve EMI, but this method can only adjust the driving rising and falling edges by the same amount. It cannot adjust the rising and falling edges separately, and the flexibility is poor. If you want to adjust the rising and falling edges separately, you can introduce different resistors for the rising and falling edges. The difference between the methods in Figure 4 and Figure 1 is that the diodes are used to separate the rising and falling edges. The resistance of Rgh and Rgl, the speed of the rising and falling edges can be achieved by using different Rgh and Rgl, and the adjustment is more flexible.

第5圖是示出了如第4圖中所示的系統的工作波形的圖示。從第5圖的波形中可以看出,假設Rgh>Rgl,功率MOS閘的上升沿會比下降沿更慢。如果在解EMI時,需要將上升沿的快慢做得與下降沿不同,可以採用第4圖的方法。但是,第4圖的驅動架構也很難在損耗和 EMI之間做很好的折中。 FIG. 5 is a diagram showing the operating waveforms of the system as shown in FIG. 4. It can be seen from the waveform in Figure 5 that assuming Rgh> Rgl, the rising edge of the power MOS gate will be slower than the falling edge. If you need to make the rising edge different from the falling edge when solving EMI, you can use the method in Figure 4. However, the drive architecture of Figure 4 is also difficult to A good compromise between EMI.

解決EMI的系統本質上就是要在上升沿或者下降沿的米勒平臺之前,將驅動能力減弱,減小如第2圖所示的開啟和關斷振盪,以減小對EMI的影響。但在米勒平臺結束之後,希望將驅動能力加強,快速開啟或者關斷功率MOS電晶體,以最大限度降低驅動損耗,提高效率。顯然上述兩種驅動架構無法兼顧這兩點。針對傳統方法的缺點,本發明將提供可以在效率和EMI要求之間進行很好折中的驅動架構。 The system to solve EMI is essentially to weaken the driving ability before the rising or falling edge of the Miller platform, and reduce the on and off oscillations as shown in Figure 2 to reduce the impact on EMI. However, after the Miller platform is completed, it is hoped that the driving capability will be strengthened and the power MOS transistor will be quickly turned on or off to minimize the driving loss and improve the efficiency. Obviously, the above two driving architectures cannot take both points into consideration. In view of the shortcomings of the traditional method, the present invention will provide a driving architecture that can make a good compromise between efficiency and EMI requirements.

In the drawings and the following description, well-known structures and techniques are not shown in order to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the present invention.

第6圖是示出了根據本公開的一實施例的、一種實現閘極驅動電路的系統的簡化圖。該圖僅作為示例,其不應該不適當地限制申請專利的範圍。本領域的普通技術人員應該理解很多變化、替代和修改。 FIG. 6 is a simplified diagram illustrating a system for implementing a gate driving circuit according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. This figure is only an example, which should not unduly limit the scope of patent application. Those of ordinary skill in the art should understand many variations, substitutions, and modifications.

如第6圖所示,在外部功率MOS開啟或者關斷的米勒平臺之前,採用比較弱的驅動能力,使上升沿和下降沿足夠的緩慢,以減小米勒平臺上的振盪對EMI的影響;在外部功率MOS的米勒平臺完成之後,加大驅動能力,使上升沿和下降沿快速完成。 As shown in Figure 6, before the external power MOS is turned on or off of the Miller platform, a relatively weak driving capability is used to make the rising and falling edges slow enough to reduce the impact of the oscillation on the Miller platform on EMI ; After the Miller platform of external power MOS is completed, increase the driving capacity so that the rising and falling edges can be completed quickly.

第6圖示出了驅動晶片和外部的功率MOS功率級。驅動晶片部分包括前置驅動(pre_driver)驅動級、高邊電晶體MN_hs_m和MN_hs_s、高邊延時組件delay_cell_h、低邊電晶體MN_ls_m和MN_ls_s、低邊延時組件delay_cell_l。功率MOS功率級包括功率電晶體 MN0、一次繞組Lm、以及感應電阻器Rcs。 Figure 6 shows the driver chip and the external power MOS power stage. The driver chip includes a pre-driver driver stage, high-side transistors MN_hs_m and MN_hs_s, high-side delay components delay_cell_h, low-side transistors MN_ls_m and MN_ls_s, and low-side delay components delay_cell_l. Power MOS power stage including power transistor MN0, the primary winding Lm, and the sense resistor Rcs.

其中,高邊電晶體MN_hs_m驅動能力大於MN_hs_s,MN_hs_s的控制信號是驅動信號drv_h,drv_h經過高邊延時組件delay_cell_h延時後生成drv_h_d信號用於控制MN_hs_m。同樣的,低邊電晶體MN_ls_m驅動能力大於MN_ls_s,MN_ls_s的控制信號是驅動信號drv_l,drv_l經過低邊延時組件delay_cell_l延時後生成drv_l_d信號用於控制MN_ls_m。高邊延時元件delay_cell_h的延遲時間可以不同於低邊延時元件delay_cell_l的延遲時間。 Among them, the driving capability of the high-side transistor MN_hs_m is greater than MN_hs_s. The control signal of MN_hs_s is the driving signal drv_h. Drv_h generates a drv_h_d signal for controlling MN_hs_m after being delayed by the high-side delay component delay_cell_h. Similarly, the driving capability of the low-side transistor MN_ls_m is greater than MN_ls_s. The control signal of MN_ls_s is the driving signal drv_l. Drv_l generates a drv_l_d signal for controlling MN_ls_m after being delayed by the low-side delay component delay_cell_l. The delay time of the high-side delay element delay_cell_h may be different from the delay time of the low-side delay element delay_cell_l.

在控制功率電晶體MN0開啟的過程中,MN_hs_s先導通,以較弱的電流驅動功率電晶體MN0,直到米勒平臺結束MN_hs_m才導通,以較強的電流驅動功率電晶體MN0完成整個開啟過程。因此,延時元件delay_cell_h的延遲時間設置應該保證在接近米勒平臺結束時,生成drv_h_d信號使MN_hs_m導通。 In the process of controlling the power transistor MN0 to turn on, MN_hs_s is first turned on, and the power transistor MN0 is driven with a weak current. The MN_hs_m is turned on until the Miller platform ends, and the power transistor MN0 is driven with a strong current to complete the entire turn-on process. Therefore, the delay time of the delay element delay_cell_h should be set to ensure that the drv_h_d signal is generated to make MN_hs_m turn on near the end of the Miller platform.

在控制功率電晶體MN0關斷的過程中,MN_ls_s先導通,以較弱的電流驅動功率電晶體MN0,直到米勒平臺結束,MN_ls_m才導通,以較強的電流驅動功率電晶體MN0完成整個關斷過程。因此,延時元件delay_cell_l的延遲時間設置應該保證在接近米勒平臺結束時,生成drv_l_d信號使MN_ls_m導通。 In the process of controlling the power transistor MN0 to turn off, MN_ls_s is first turned on, and the power transistor MN0 is driven with a weak current. Until the Miller platform ends, MN_ls_m is turned on, and the power transistor MN0 is driven with a strong current to complete the entire shutdown. Off process. Therefore, the delay time of the delay element delay_cell_l should be set to ensure that the drv_l_d signal is generated to make MN_ls_m turn on near the end of the Miller platform.

第7圖是示出了如第6圖中所示的系統的工作波形的圖示。在第7圖中,drv_h為上電晶體MN_hs_s的驅動信號,drv_h_d為上電晶體MN_hs_m的驅動信號,drv_l為下電晶體MN_ls_s的驅動信號,drv_l_d為下電晶體MN_ls_m的驅動信號,td為上下電晶體之間的死區時間,tdh為從MN_hs_s開啟到MN_hs_m開啟延時,tdl為從MN_ls_s開啟到MN_ls_m開啟延時,閘極為驅動晶片PIN腳上的波形,上升沿和下降沿都存在米勒平臺,tr為上升時間,並且tf為下降時間。從閘極波形的角度,其上升沿和下降沿都可以獨立控制,且其上升沿或者下降沿本身做了分段控制。這樣,可以通過調節MN_hs_m,MN_hs_s,MN_ls_m,MN_ls_s 電晶體尺寸來調節驅動能力,且可通過調節tdh和tdl來控制分段時刻,增加了系統的靈活性。 FIG. 7 is a diagram showing the operating waveforms of the system as shown in FIG. 6. In Figure 7, drv_h is the driving signal of the power-on crystal MN_hs_s, drv_h_d is the driving signal of the power-on crystal MN_hs_m, drv_l is the driving signal of the power-down crystal MN_ls_s, drv_l_d is the driving signal of the power-down crystal MN_ls_m, and td is power-on and power-off Dead time between crystals, tdh is the delay from MN_hs_s to MN_hs_m on, tdl is the delay from MN_ls_s to MN_ls_m. The gate drives the waveform on the PIN pin of the chip. There is a Miller platform on the rising and falling edges, tr Is the rise time, and tf is the fall time. From the perspective of the gate waveform, both its rising and falling edges can be controlled independently, and its rising or falling edges themselves are segmented. In this way, you can adjust MN_hs_m, MN_hs_s, MN_ls_m, MN_ls_s The size of the transistor is used to adjust the driving capability, and the segmentation time can be controlled by adjusting tdh and tdl, which increases the flexibility of the system.

第8圖是示出了根據本公開的一實施例的、另一種實現閘極驅動電路的系統的簡化圖。第8圖與第6圖的主要區別在於,將高邊兩個獨立的MN_hs_m和MN_hs_s合併成一個MN_hs,通過前置驅動來控制MN_hs的閘極電壓,來實現高邊兩段式開啟控制。具體而言,MN_hs增加了前置控制電路,包括電流源Im和Is(Im>Is),PMOS開關的第一電晶體MP1和第二電晶體MP2,下驅動電晶體MN1,NMOS開關的電晶體MN2,齊納二級體Zd1、Zd2,以及電容器C0。 FIG. 8 is a simplified diagram illustrating another system for implementing a gate driving circuit according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The main difference between Figure 8 and Figure 6 is that two high-side independent MN_hs_m and MN_hs_s are combined into one MN_hs, and the gate voltage of MN_hs is controlled through pre-drive to achieve high-side two-stage turn-on control. Specifically, MN_hs adds a front control circuit, including current sources Im and Is (Im> Is), the first transistor MP1 and the second transistor MP2 of the PMOS switch, and the transistor MN1 and the transistor of the NMOS switch. MN2, Zener secondary bodies Zd1, Zd2, and capacitor C0.

第8圖中的Drv_h信號與第7圖中的drv_h反相,從而drv_h信號需要反相後進行後續處理。例如,經過delay_cell_h延時及後續的反相,來生成drv_h_d信號,用於控制MP2。 The Drv_h signal in FIG. 8 is inverted from the drv_h in FIG. 7, so the drv_h signal needs to be inverted for subsequent processing. For example, the delay_cell_h delay and subsequent inversion are used to generate the drv_h_d signal for controlling MP2.

在控制MN_hs開啟過程中,drv_h信號由高變低,使MN1截止,同時MP1導通,以較小的電流Is對Gate_h節點充電,開始時,Zd2是截止的,Gate_h和電容器C0之間沒有通路,從而Gate_h會很快上升到Zd2的擊穿電壓點。之後,Is開始對電容器C0充電,Gate_h的上升斜率變緩,保證閘極電壓在功率電晶體MN0的米勒平臺附近緩慢上升;之後,drv_h在經過delay_cell_h延時後(此時,可以認為功率電晶體MN0的米勒平臺已經結束),生成drv_h_d信號,將MP2導通(此時MP1仍然導通),以Is+Im的電流給節點Gate_h及C0快速充電,Gate_h上升斜率變快並迅速上升到Zd1加Zd2的擊穿箝位元電壓,同時,閘極電壓也快速上升到目標值,完成整個開啟過程。 In the process of controlling the opening of MN_hs, the drv_h signal changes from high to low to make MN1 turn off, and MP1 is turned on, and the Gate_h node is charged with a small current Is. At the beginning, Zd2 is turned off, and there is no path between Gate_h and capacitor C0. Thus Gate_h will quickly rise to the breakdown voltage point of Zd2. After that, Is starts to charge capacitor C0, and the rising slope of Gate_h is slowed to ensure that the gate voltage slowly rises near the Miller platform of power transistor MN0. After that, drv_h is delayed by delay_cell_h (at this time, the power transistor can be considered The Miller platform of MN0 has ended), generate the drv_h_d signal, turn on MP2 (MP1 is still on at this time), and fast charge the nodes Gate_h and C0 with the current of Is + Im. The rising slope of Gate_h becomes faster and rises rapidly to Zd1 plus Zd2 At the same time, the breakdown voltage of the clamp element also rises rapidly to the target value, completing the entire turn-on process.

在控制MN_hs關斷過程中,對於下降沿,下電晶體的開啟過程與第6圖類似,在此不再贅述。所不同的是,下電晶體開啟過程時,需要通過drv_l信號將電晶體MN2導通,給電容器C0放電。 In the control of the MN_hs shutdown process, the turn-on process of the power-down transistor is similar to that shown in Figure 6 for the falling edge, and is not repeated here. The difference is that when the transistor is turned on, the transistor MN2 needs to be turned on through the drv_l signal to discharge the capacitor C0.

第9圖是示出了如第8圖中所示的系統的工作波形的圖示。第9圖中的drv_h和drv_h_d信號與第7圖中的反相,且增加了 Gate_h波形。如第9圖所示,Gate_h保證閘極電壓在功率電晶體MN0的米勒平臺附近緩慢上升 FIG. 9 is a diagram showing the operating waveforms of the system as shown in FIG. 8. The drv_h and drv_h_d signals in Figure 9 are inverted from those in Figure 7 and increased Gate_h waveform. As shown in Figure 9, Gate_h guarantees that the gate voltage slowly rises near the Miller platform of the power transistor MN0

上述實現方式一相對於傳統方法,可以很好的在效率和EMI之間折中。然而,由於功率MOS功率電晶體MN0特性的不同,延遲時間tdh和tdl不是那麼容易控制。我們希望能夠先判斷米勒平臺的開始時刻,隨後根據功率電晶體MN0的米勒平臺的長短,再進行延遲tdh和tdl,以達到更好的分段控制效果。 Compared with the traditional method, the first implementation manner described above can well compromise between efficiency and EMI. However, due to the different characteristics of the power MOS power transistor MN0, the delay times tdh and tdl are not so easy to control. We hope to be able to determine the starting time of the Miller platform first, and then delay tdh and tdl according to the length of the Miller platform of the power transistor MN0 to achieve better segmentation control.

第10圖是示出了根據本公開的另一實施例的、一種實現閘極驅動電路的系統的簡化圖。第10圖與第6圖的不同之處是,驅動晶片還包括兩個閘極閾值感測比較器comp_hs和comp_ls,分別用於感測米勒平臺的低閾值vl和高閾值vh。例如,實際器件功率電晶體MN0的米勒平臺在5V附近,低閾值vl可以設置為4V,而高閾值vh可以設置為6V。 FIG. 10 is a simplified diagram illustrating a system implementing a gate driving circuit according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. The difference between FIG. 10 and FIG. 6 is that the driving chip further includes two gate threshold sensing comparators comp_hs and comp_ls, which are respectively used to sense the low threshold vl and the high threshold vh of the Miller platform. For example, the Miller platform of the actual device power transistor MN0 is around 5V, the low threshold vl can be set to 4V, and the high threshold vh can be set to 6V.

高邊閾值感測由comp_hs實現,生成Gate_sense_h信號,經過高邊延時組件delay_cell_h延時後,與drv_h相與,生成drv_h_d信號,來控制MN_hs_m開啟;類似的,低邊閾值感測由comp_ls實現,其生成的Gate_sense_l信號,經過低邊延時組件delay_cell_l延時後,與drv_l相與,生成drv_l_d信號,來控制MN_ls_m開啟,以此方式來實現分段控制。 The high-side threshold sensing is implemented by comp_hs, which generates the Gate_sense_h signal. After the delay of the high-side delay component delay_cell_h, and the drv_h are generated, the drv_h_d signal is generated to control the opening of MN_hs_m. Similarly, the low-side threshold sensing is implemented by comp_ls, which generates The Gate_sense_l signal is delayed by the low-side delay component delay_cell_l and ANDed with drv_l to generate a drv_l_d signal to control the opening of MN_ls_m to achieve segmented control in this way.

第11圖是示出了如第10圖中所示的系統的工作波形的圖示。第11圖中的信號與第7圖類似,在此不再贅述。所不同的是增加了閘極PIN感測信號Gate_sense_h和Gate_sense_l波形,且tdh延遲時間的起始點為Gate_sense_h的上升沿(而不是drv_h上升沿),tdl延遲時間的起始點為Gate_sense_l的上升沿(而不是drv_l上升沿)。 FIG. 11 is a diagram showing the operating waveforms of the system as shown in FIG. 10. The signals in FIG. 11 are similar to those in FIG. 7 and will not be repeated here. The difference is that the gate PIN sensing signal Gate_sense_h and Gate_sense_l waveforms are added, and the starting point of the tdh delay time is the rising edge of Gate_sense_h (instead of the rising edge of drv_h), and the starting point of the tdl delay time is the rising edge of Gate_sense_l (Not the rising edge of drv_l).

在如第10圖所示的優選實施例中,可以達到更精確的兩段式開啟及關斷控制,進而更好的在效率和EMI之間進行折中。 In the preferred embodiment shown in FIG. 10, a more accurate two-stage turn-on and turn-off control can be achieved, so that a better compromise between efficiency and EMI can be achieved.

第12圖是示出了根據本公開的另一實施例的、另一種實現閘極驅動電路的系統的簡化圖。第12圖與第10圖的主要區別在於,將 高邊兩個獨立的MN_hs_m和MN_hs_s合併成一個電晶體MN_hs,通過前置驅動來控制MN_hs的閘極電壓,來實現高邊兩段式開啟控制。具體而言,MN_hs增加了前置控制電路,包括電流源Im和Is(Im>Is),PMOS開關的第一電晶體MP1和第二電晶體MP2,下驅動電晶體MN1,NMOS開關電晶體MN2,齊納二級體Zd1、Zd2,以及電容器C0。Drv_h信號與第11圖中的drv_h反相,從而此處的Gate_sense_h信號經過delay_cell_h延時及後續的反相,再與drv_h信號相或來生成drv_h_d信號,用於控制MP2。 FIG. 12 is a simplified diagram illustrating another system for implementing a gate driving circuit according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. The main difference between Figure 12 and Figure 10 is that The two high-side independent MN_hs_m and MN_hs_s are combined into one transistor MN_hs, and the gate voltage of MN_hs is controlled by pre-drive to achieve the high-side two-stage turn-on control. Specifically, MN_hs adds a front control circuit, including current sources Im and Is (Im> Is), the first transistor MP1 and the second transistor MP2 of the PMOS switch, the lower driving transistor MN1, and the NMOS switching transistor MN2. , Zener secondary bodies Zd1, Zd2, and capacitor C0. The Drv_h signal is inverted from drv_h in FIG. 11, so the Gate_sense_h signal here is delayed by delay_cell_h and subsequent inversion, and then ORed with the drv_h signal to generate the drv_h_d signal, which is used to control MP2.

在控制MN_hs開啟過程中,drv_h信號由高變低,使MN1截止,同時MP1導通,以較小的電流Is對Gate_h節點充電,開始時,Zd2是截止的,Gate_H和電容器C0之間沒有通路,故Gate_h會很快上升到Zd2的擊穿電壓點,之後,Is開始對電容器C0充電,Gate_h的上升斜率變緩,保證閘極電壓在功率電晶體MN0的米勒平臺附近緩慢上升;之後,在感測到Gate_sense_h信號從低變高,再經過delay_cell_h延時後(此時可以認為功率電晶體MN0的米勒平臺已經結束),生成drv_h_d信號,將MP2導通(此時MP1仍然導通),以Is+Im的電流給節點Gate_h及電容器C0快速充電,Gate_h上升斜率變快並迅速上升到Zd1加Zd2的擊穿箝位元電壓,同時,閘極電壓也快速上升到目標值,完成整個開啟過程。 In the process of controlling the opening of MN_hs, the drv_h signal changes from high to low to make MN1 turn off, and MP1 is turned on, and the Gate_h node is charged with a small current Is. At the beginning, Zd2 is turned off, and there is no path between Gate_H and capacitor C0. Therefore, Gate_h will quickly rise to the breakdown voltage point of Zd2. After that, Is starts to charge capacitor C0, and the rising slope of Gate_h becomes slower, ensuring that the gate voltage slowly rises near the Miller platform of power transistor MN0. After sensing that the Gate_sense_h signal changes from low to high, and after the delay_cell_h delay (at this time, the Miller platform of the power transistor MN0 can be considered to have ended), a drv_h_d signal is generated, and MP2 is turned on (at this time MP1 is still on), and Is + The current Im charges the node Gate_h and capacitor C0 quickly. The rising slope of Gate_h becomes faster and rises to the breakdown clamp voltage of Zd1 plus Zd2. At the same time, the gate voltage also rises rapidly to the target value, completing the entire turn-on process.

下降沿時,下電晶體的開啟過程與第10圖類似,在此不再贅述。所不同的是,下電晶體開啟過程時,需要通過drv_l將電晶體MN2導通,給電容器C0放電。 At the falling edge, the turn-on process of the power-down transistor is similar to that in Figure 10, and is not repeated here. The difference is that during the turn-on process of the power-down transistor, the transistor MN2 needs to be turned on through drv_l to discharge the capacitor C0.

第13圖是示出了如第12圖中所示的系統的工作波形的圖示。第13圖中的drv_h和drv_h_d信號與第11圖中的反相,且增加了Gate_h波形。 FIG. 13 is a diagram showing the operating waveforms of the system as shown in FIG. 12. The drv_h and drv_h_d signals in FIG. 13 are inverted from those in FIG. 11 and a Gate_h waveform is added.
