The driving integrated circuit comprises a voltage amplitude conversion module, an undervoltage protection module, a protection execution module, an output buffer module and a miller platform improvement module. According to the driving integrated circuit, a VGS platform of a power tube in a switching-on process is improved, a VDS descending speed is increased, losses are reduced, a condition that oscillation and overshoot are reduced by sacrificing a switching speed and increasing the switching losses is prevented, and meanwhile current spikes are avoided; and in addition, the driving circuit is designed into an integrated circuit so that a circuit area is greatly reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of integrated circuits, and in particular relates to a driving integrated circuit for a SiC MOSFET switching device. Background technique [0002] At present, power electronic devices are mainly based on silicon-based devices. However, due to the narrow bandgap of silicon materials, it is difficult to meet the requirements of the new generation of power systems in terms of blocking voltage, energy consumption, operating temperature and switching frequency, and has become a bottleneck in the development of power electronic systems. In order to solve this contradiction, research on third-generation semiconductor materials is developing rapidly, among which silicon carbide (SiC) material is the most promising material to replace silicon (Si) and become the material of choice for the preparation of a new generation of power semiconductor devices. SiC MOSFET (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor, ox...
