Abstract

A grid drive circuit of a ZCS full bridge converter employing SiC power tubes comprises a PWM generator, an MOS driving network, a resonance grid driving isolation transformer and an RCD shift circuit, MOS pipe grid control signals in the MOS driving network are provided by the PWM generator, the output of the MOS driving network is output to the RCD shift circuit via the resonance grid driving isolation transformer, the output signals of the RCD shift circuit serve as grid driving signals of SiC power tubes of the full bridge converter to drive upper and lower SiC power tubes in two bridge arms of the full bridge converter, and the RCD shift circuit is used to adjust grid driving level of the SiC power tubes to realize voltage shift of the grid drive circuit, so that the driving voltage is suitable for SiC power tubes. Leakage inductors in secondary side of the resonance grid driving isolation transformer and grid source parasitic capacitors of SiC power switch tubes are utilized to generate resonance, and the electric energy on the parasitic capacitors can be recovered for reuse. Loss is reduced, and the efficiency is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a gate drive circuit of a power tube in a ZCS full-bridge converter, in particular to a gate drive circuit of a full-bridge converter using a SiC power tube (a metal-oxide semiconductor field effect transistor of SiC material). Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of power electronics technology, power converter applications have higher and higher requirements for high frequency and high power density. When the switching frequency is increased to a certain level, problems such as significant increase in switching loss, high switching stress, high electromagnetic radiation and noise emerge in an endless stream. The introduction of soft switching technology has effectively improved the performance of high-frequency converters. Soft switching technology means that power devices commutate in a zero-voltage (ZVS) switching mode or a zero-current switching (ZCS) mode. The ZCS full-bridge converter is a typical so...
