Problems solved by technology

The disadvantage is that the Hall sensor works in a high-radiation environment, and the output current signal is noisy, which may easily cause system malfunction
The disadvantage is that this method cannot detect DC current
Its disadvantage is that it takes up a lot of area on the circuit board, requires an op amp and a comparator, and costs a lot
The disadvantage is that different types of power tubes have different tube pressure drop characteristics, and are also affected by the operating temperature
Its disadvantages are: the three emitter pins of the lower bridge arm of the IGBT are grounded through the shunt, and the voltage signal generated by the shunt will disturb the gate drive signal of the IGBT; this kind of protection circuit can only cooperate with specific modules, and has poor versatility

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of circuits, and in particular relates to a circuit for protecting IGBT from overcurrent and short circuit. Background technique [0002] IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor, insulated gate bipolar transistor) is the core device of modern power conversion technology, and its overcurrent and short circuit protection play a very important role in the reliability of the entire conversion equipment. [0003] At present, there are several ways to protect the insulated gate bipolar transistors: [0004] 1) Use a Hall current sensor to detect the output current of the power conversion device, set up a current-limiting threshold, compare with a comparator, and output an over-current protection signal. The disadvantage is that the Hall sensor works in a high-radiation environment, and the output current signal is noisy, which may easily cause system malfunction. At the same time, the Hall device is very expensive, and th...
