Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a crosstalk suppression driving circuit for a power converter, in particular to a bidirectional crosstalk suppression driving circuit suitable for a wide bandgap power semiconductor device. Background Art

[0002] Compared with Si-based devices, GaN power devices have made outstanding progress in materials and structures, and are increasingly favored by the market due to their excellent performance such as higher operating frequency, higher blocking voltage and higher operating temperature. In the application of GaN power devices, the switching frequency of power converters can reach several MHz or even tens of MHz, effectively improving the power density. However, compared with traditional Si-based devices, GaN power devices have lower turn-on threshold voltage and smaller gate reverse voltage resistance, which makes them easily affected by higher voltage in applications such as high-power bridge circuits. dv / dt and di / dt The resulting crosstalk voltage spikes threaten to cause device mis-turn-on or gate reverse breakdown. In a traditional bridge circuit, when the upper arm is turned on, positive crosstalk is introduced into the lower arm power device. If the magnitude exceeds the device threshold voltage, it can cause mis-turn-on, leading to a bridge arm short circuit. When the upper arm is turned off, negative crosstalk can occur. Excessive negative voltage can cause reverse breakdown of the lower arm device gate, reducing system reliability. Therefore, suppressing the crosstalk voltage of power devices in the bridge arm circuit is an important research direction for improving the reliability of power electronic converters.

[0003] Current methods for mitigating crosstalk in bridge circuit applications include reducing the gate-source drive loop impedance and employing negative voltage shutdown. While reducing the gate-source drive loop impedance effectively suppresses the voltage drop caused by the Miller current, it adds additional transistors to the drive circuit, increasing circuit power loss. Adopting negative voltage shutdown primarily involves adding an additional negative voltage power supply or voltage divider circuit, using multiple power supplies and switching devices, introducing additional control signals, and increasing circuit design cost and complexity.

[0040] Example: In this embodiment, in order to verify the suppression effect of this circuit on positive and negative crosstalk, a double pulse test circuit was built based on AD's LTspice simulation platform for verification. The power semiconductor device selected in this embodiment is the GS61008P model of GaNsystem. Under normal operating conditions, the threshold voltage of this device is about 1.7V, and the maximum gate withstand voltage is -10~7V. The drain-source voltage applied in this double pulse experiment is 50V and the load current is 30A. The simulation model parameters of the positive and negative crosstalk suppression circuit proposed in this invention are as follows: resistance R 1 is 5Ω, resistance R 2 is 10KΩ, R g2 9Ω, capacitor C 1 is 7nf, voltage regulator diode D `1 The model is 1N750, the voltage regulator diode D 3 and D The model of 4 is 1N5818, the diode D The model of 2 is 1N5818.
