[0002] During the shutdown process of the power MOSFET (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor), the shutdown digital signal needs to be converted into a shutdown analog signal suitable for the power device through the gate drive, and applied to the gate-source (hereinafter referred to as "gate-source") of the power MOSFET to complete the shutdown action. During the shutdown process of the power MOSFET, the voltage overshoot caused by the rise of the drain-source (hereinafter referred to as "drain-source") voltage and the shutdown loss are contradictory. It is necessary to change the drain-source side voltage and current trajectory by adjusting the gate signal trajectory, so that the power MOSFET can be used as much as possible to meet the needs of power electronic devices.

It is impossible to finely and continuously regulate the gate voltage during the turn-off process, and it is impossible to separately regulate the voltage and current trajectory on the drain-source side of the power MOSFET. It is difficult to simultaneously meet the goals of low voltage overshoot and low turn-off loss during the turn-off process, and it is difficult to meet the high power density requirements of power electronic devices.

[0049] When the resistance and capacitance values of the first resistor (R1) and the first capacitor (C1) remain unchanged, the greater the resistance value of the second resistor (R2), the shorter the time that the gate voltage of the power MOSFET (09) to be controlled is lower than the Miller platform (Vmiller) voltage, thereby shortening the turn-off time of the power MOSFET (09) to be controlled;
[0050] When the resistance values of the first capacitor (R1) and the second resistor (R2) remain unchanged, the smaller the capacitance value of the first capacitor (C1), the slower the gate voltage of the controlled power MOSFET (09) decreases in the stage above the Miller platform (Vmiller), that is, the smaller the absolute value of the gate voltage decrease slope in this stage.
[0051] Furthermore, during the shutdown process of the power MOSFET to be controlled (09), the drain-source current and drain-source voltage waveforms of the power MOSFET to be controlled (09) are specifically expressed as follows:
[0052] When the resistance and capacitance values of the second resistor (R2) and the first capacitor (C1) remain unchanged, the greater the resistance value of the first resistor (R1), the greater the slope of the drain-source voltage of the power MOSFET (09) to be controlled, and the greater the absolute value of the slope of the drain-source current of the power MOSFET (09) to be controlled;
[0053] When the resistance and capacitance values of the first resistor (R1) and the first capacitor (C1) remain unchanged, the greater the resistance value of the second resistor (R2), the smaller the slope of the drain-source voltage of the power MOSFET (09) to be controlled, and the smaller the absolute value of the slope of the drain-source current of the power MOSFET (09) to be controlled;
[0054] When the resistance values of the first capacitor (R1) and the second resistor (R2) remain unchanged, the smaller the capacitance value of the first capacitor (C1), the smaller the slope of the drain-source voltage of the power MOSFET (09) to be controlled, and the smaller the absolute value of the slope of the drain-source current of the power MOSFET (09) to be controlled.
[0055] Furthermore, during the shutdown process of the power MOSFET (09) to be controlled, the drive circuit does not need to introduce the drain-source side information of the power MOSFET (09) to be controlled, and only utilizes the change characteristics of the transconductance capacitance of the power MOSFET (09) to control the gate voltage of the power MOSFET (09) to be controlled, and finally completes the control of the drain-source voltage and current trajectory of the power MOSFET (09) to be controlled; the drive circuit separately controls the slope of the drain-source voltage and drain-source current of the power MOSFET (09) to be controlled through the resistance and capacitance parameters in the parameter configuration module.
[0056] Beneficial effects: Starting from the perspective of the power MOSFET shutdown mechanism, the present invention proposes an adjustable wide-adaptability MOSFET shutdown gate drive circuit and driving method, which continuously and finely controls the gate voltage during the power MOSFET shutdown process, and realizes separate and fine control of the drain-source side voltage and current trajectory during the shutdown process, so as to achieve the purpose of low voltage overshoot and low shutdown loss of the power MOSFET during the shutdown process, and realize the maximum application of the power MOSFET. At the same time, the adjustable wide-adaptability MOSFET shutdown gate drive circuit and driving method proposed by the present invention can adjust and configure parameters according to the parasitic parameters of the power MOSFET to adapt to power MOSFETs with different parasitic parameters, thereby improving applicability. In addition, the adjustable wide-adaptability MOSFET shutdown gate drive circuit and driving method proposed by the present invention can realize separate control of the drain-source voltage and drain-source current trajectory only by controlling the gate of the power MOSFET, without introducing high-voltage information on the drain-source side, reducing insulation requirements, and improving power density.
[0057] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0058] 1. During the shutdown process of the power MOSFET to be controlled, the gate voltage of the power MOSFET to be controlled is continuously and finely controlled to achieve separate and fine regulation of the drain-source voltage and current trajectory of the power MOSFET to be controlled, so that the power MOSFET has the characteristics of low voltage overshoot and low shutdown loss during the shutdown process, and the power MOSFET is applied to the maximum extent;
[0059] 2. Match the parasitic parameters of the power MOSFET to be controlled through the parameter configuration module to improve the applicability of the circuit;
[0060] 3. Avoid the introduction of high voltage information on the drain-source side of the power MOSFET to be controlled, reduce insulation requirements, and improve power density.

[0083] During the shutdown process of the power MOSFET to be controlled, the functions of the above modules are specifically manifested as follows:
[0084] The current mirror module is used to copy the current of the path formed by it and the parameter configuration module to the path formed by the maintenance module. When the first shutdown enable signal Vctrl1 in the parameter configuration module is set high, the potential of the node net1 and the node net2 in the current mirror module is pulled high;
[0085] The parameter configuration module is used to control the branch where the first NMOS tube is located to establish a current-carrying capacity according to the first shutdown enable signal Vctrl1 during the shutdown process of the power MOSFET to be controlled; in the pre-shutdown stage, the first shutdown enable signal Vctrl1 is set high, and the first NMOS tube establishes a channel. At this time, the potential of the node net1 in the current mirror module is pulled up, and the potential of the node net2 is synchronously affected. At this time, the voltage waveform of the node net2 is: during the shutdown process of the power MOSFET to be controlled, when the gate voltage of the power MOSFET to be controlled is higher than the Miller platform Vmiller stage, the node net2 voltage presents a voltage peak.
[0086] The conduction module is used to conduct the voltage of node net2 in the node current mirror module to node net5, and use the fourth resistor and the fifth resistor to divide the voltage to pull down the potential of node net5, and the lowered potential is output from node net6 to the gate of the tenth NMOS tube in the second leakage module. Among them, the voltage waveform of node net6 is: during the shutdown process of the power MOSFET to be controlled, when the gate voltage of the power MOSFET to be controlled is higher than the Miller platform Vmiller stage, the voltage of node net6 presents a voltage peak, following the voltage waveform of node net2 in the current mirror module, such as Figure 3 shown.
[0087] The control module is used to control the sixth NMOS tube and the seventh NMOS tube to establish a channel according to the third shutdown enable signal Vctrl3 and the fourth shutdown enable signal Vctrl4. The control module is internally connected to the conduction module at the node net6, and the potential of the node net6 is changed according to the input third shutdown enable signal and the fourth shutdown enable signal. The voltage waveform of the node net6 connected to it is: during the shutdown process of the power MOSFET to be controlled, when the gate voltage of the power MOSFET to be controlled drops to the threshold voltage Vth, the third shutdown enable and the fourth shutdown enable are set high at the same time. At this time, the sixth NMOS tube and the seventh NMOS tube establish a channel, so that the potential of the node net6 is pulled up again and remains unchanged, and the tenth NMOS tube in the second leakage module is driven to establish a channel so that it obtains the flow capacity, such as Figure 3 shown.
[0088] The maintenance module is used for, during the shutdown process of the power MOSFET to be controlled, when the potential of the node net2 in the current mirror module is pulled high, the potential of the node net3 is also pulled high, so that the third NMOS tube establishes a channel, and then the potential of the node net4 is pulled high by using the third NMOS tube and the third resistor R3 path, so that the second NMOS tube establishes a channel. Thus, during the shutdown process of the power MOSFET to be controlled, the maintenance module always has a voltage value at the node net4, and transmits the voltage of the node net4 to the gate of the eleventh NMOS tube in the second leakage module according to the second shutdown enable signal, so that the eleventh NMOS tube always maintains the channel establishment state during the shutdown process of the power MOSFET to be controlled.
[0089] The first leakage module is used to control the eighth NMOS tube and the ninth NMOS tube to establish a channel according to the fifth shutdown enable signal Vctrl5 and the sixth shutdown enable signal Vctrl6, so that the circuit where the eighth NMOS tube and the ninth NMOS tube are located obtains flow capacity; the first leakage module and the second leakage module are connected to the output end Vgate, and the module discharges current from the output end Vgate, which is specifically manifested as follows: during the shutdown process of the power MOSFET to be controlled, at the beginning of the shutdown process, the gate voltage of the power MOSFET to be controlled has not yet dropped, the fifth shutdown enable signal and the sixth shutdown enable signal are set high at the same time, at this time, the first leakage module obtains flow capacity, and discharges current from the gate of the power MOSFET to be controlled through the output end Vgate; after the shutdown process is completed, the gate voltage of the power MOSFET to be controlled will be zero, the fifth shutdown enable signal and the sixth shutdown enable signal are set low at the same time, at this time, the first leakage module loses flow capacity and stops discharging current through the output end Vgate.
[0090] like Figure 5 As shown in the figure, during the shutdown process of the power MOSFET to be controlled, its gate voltage waveform is specifically expressed as follows:
[0091] Phase 1: When the gate voltage of the power MOSFET to be controlled is higher than the Miller platform Vmiller voltage, the gate voltage drops rapidly to the Miller platform voltage;
[0092] The second stage: when the gate voltage of the power MOSFET to be controlled is at the Miller platform voltage Vmiller, the gate voltage is maintained at the Miller platform voltage;
[0093] The third stage: when the gate voltage of the power MOSFET to be controlled is lower than the Miller platform Vmiller voltage but higher than the threshold voltage Vth, the gate voltage slowly decreases linearly;
[0094] Stage 4: When the gate voltage of the power MOSFET to be controlled is lower than the threshold voltage Vth, the gate voltage drops rapidly to zero.
[0095] Furthermore, the first resistor, the second resistor and the first capacitor values inside the parameter configuration module can be configured according to the parasitic parameters of the power MOSFET to be controlled; during the shutdown process of the power MOSFET to be controlled, the internal resistor and capacitor values of the parameter configuration module have an influence on the gate voltage of the power MOSFET to be controlled, which is specifically manifested as follows:
[0096] When the resistance and capacitance values of the second resistor R2 and the first capacitor C1 remain unchanged, the larger the resistance value of the first resistor R1, the slower the gate voltage of the controlled power MOSFET decreases in the stage above the Miller platform Vmiller, that is, the smaller the absolute value of the gate voltage drop slope in this stage, the longer the gate voltage is at the Miller platform Vmiller voltage. Figure 6 As shown;
[0097] When the resistance and capacitance values of the first resistor R1 and the first capacitor C1 remain unchanged, the larger the resistance value of the second resistor R2 is, the shorter the time that the gate voltage of the power MOSFET to be controlled is below the Miller platform (Vmiller) voltage is, and thus the shorter the turn-off time of the power MOSFET to be controlled is. Figure 7 As shown;
[0098] When the resistance values of the first capacitor R1 and the second resistor R2 remain unchanged, the smaller the capacitance value of the first capacitor C1 is, the slower the gate voltage of the power MOSFET to be controlled decreases in the stage above the Miller platform (Vmiller), that is, the smaller the absolute value of the gate voltage drop slope in this stage is, such as Figure 8 shown.
[0099] In the process of turning off the power MOSFET to be controlled, the drain-source current and drain-source voltage waveforms of the controllable wide-adaptability MOSFET turn-off gate drive circuit are affected by the internal parameter values of the parameter configuration module, which are specifically manifested as follows:
[0100] When the resistance and capacitance values of the second resistor R2 and the first capacitor C1 remain unchanged, the larger the resistance value of the first resistor R1, the same the slope of the drain-source voltage of the power MOSFET to be controlled, and the larger the absolute value of the slope of the drain-source current of the power MOSFET to be controlled. Fig. 9 As shown;
[0101] When the resistance and capacitance values of the first resistor R1 and the first capacitor C1 remain unchanged, the larger the resistance value of the second resistor R2, the smaller the slope of the drain-source voltage of the power MOSFET to be controlled, and the smaller the absolute value of the slope of the drain-source current of the power MOSFET to be controlled. Fig.10 As shown;
[0102] When the resistance values of the first capacitor R1 and the second resistor R2 remain unchanged, the smaller the capacitance value of the first capacitor C1 is, the smaller the slope of the drain-source voltage of the power MOSFET to be controlled is, and the smaller the absolute value of the slope of the drain-source current of the power MOSFET to be controlled is. Fig.11 shown.
[0103] The present invention states that “during the shutdown process of the power MOSFET to be controlled (09), the driving circuit does not need to introduce the drain-source side information of the power MOSFET to be controlled (09)”. The power MOSFET is divided into a gate, a drain, and a source, wherein the gate-source side carries a control voltage, and the drain-source side carries a power voltage, that is, the gate-source side is a low voltage, and the drain-source side is a high voltage. The circuits are all connected to the gate, that is, regulation is performed on the low voltage side;
[0104] The present invention proposes a MOSFET turn-off gate drive circuit with adjustable wide adaptability, which is mainly used for the turn-off drive of power MOSFET devices in power electronic devices. The circuit does not introduce the drain-source side information of the power MOSFET to be controlled in design, but only utilizes the transconductance capacitance change characteristics of the power MOSFET during the turn-off process, and realizes the separate fine control of the drain-source side voltage and current trajectory through continuous fine control of the gate voltage of the power MOSFET to be controlled, and optimizes between the turn-off loss and the voltage overshoot, so as to achieve the low voltage overshoot and low turn-off loss goals of the power MOSFET during the turn-off process, and realize the maximum application of the power MOSFET; at the same time, since the drain-source side information of the power MOSFET to be controlled is not introduced, the insulation requirements and circuit complexity are reduced, the power density is improved, and the high power density requirements of the power electronic device are met.

In addition, various modifications may be made to the present invention for specific situations or specific circumstances without departing from the scope of the present invention.
