Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to SiC MOSFET parallel current sharing technical field, especially to a kind of silicon carbide MOSFET parallel current sharing system and method for pulse power supply. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the development of power electronics technology, wide bandgap power semiconductor devices are widely used in high frequency, high temperature and high power power electronics fields, and SiC MOSFETT (silicon carbide metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor) is often used instead of traditional non-solid-state switch in all-solid-state high-voltage pulse power supply field. When high-voltage pulse power supply forms pulse output, the current flowing through SiC MOSFET device is large, but the current level of commercial mass production SiC MOSFET is low, so multiple SiC MOSFET discrete devices need to be connected in parallel to improve the current level of the entire circuit in power pulse output occasions. However, due to the difference in parasitic parameters of parallel discrete branches and the immaturity of SiC MOSFET device preparation process, the on-resistance, threshold voltage, parasitic inductance and parasitic capacitance of SiC MOSFET device will have certain differences, which inevitably causes dynamic and static current imbalance problems of SiC MOSFET device in parallel operation. Unbalanced current will cause uneven loss between parallel devices, which is easy to produce higher current overshoot on the weakest device, endangering the safe operation of other parallel devices, and thus affecting the working reliability of the entire pulse circuit system.

[0003] To solve the problem of current imbalance caused by SiC MOSFET parallel application, in order to reduce the current imbalance degree of SiC MOSFET parallel, many scholars propose to add coupling inductance, that is, to increase the coupling inductance in the circuit to reduce the current imbalance degree of SiC MOSFET parallel. However, the added coupling inductance will increase with the increase of power, and the volume of the coupling inductance itself will also increase. Moreover, the parasitic parameters caused by coupling inductance may exacerbate high-frequency switching transient oscillation at high frequency, which affects the output pulse waveform of high-voltage pulse power supply and reduces the electromagnetic compatibility of the entire system.

Figure 1 As shown, the main power circuit consists of SiC MOSFET M1 and SiC MOSFET M2, a load inductor Ld, a DC bus capacitor Cdc, a first DC power supply Vdc, and two inductive inductors L1 and L2. The active drive circuit consists of a conventional drive circuit, a first non-inverting amplifier circuit, a first differential amplifier circuit, a first proportional current source circuit, a second non-inverting amplifier circuit, a second differential amplifier circuit, and a second proportional current source circuit. The conventional drive circuit consists of a drive voltage signal Vgs and two resistors Rg1 and Rg2. The first non-inverting amplifier circuit consists of two resistors E1 and E2 and an operational amplifier U1. The first differential amplifier circuit consists of four resistors R3 to R6 and an operational amplifier U2. The first proportional current source circuit consists of three transistors Q1 to Q3, three resistors R7 to R9, and a diode D1. The second non-inverting amplifier circuit consists of two resistors R 10 and R 11 , an operational amplifier U3, the second differential amplifier circuit consists of four resistors R 12 ~R 15 , an operational amplifier U4, the second proportional current source structure consists of three transistors Q4~Q6, three resistors R 16 ~R 18, a diode D2 is constituted. For the proportional current source circuit, the input is the second DC power supply VCC, and the output end acts on the gate of the SiC MOSFET. Specifically, the input of the first proportional current source circuit and the second proportional current source circuit is the second DC power supply VCC, and the output end respectively acts on the gate of the SiC MOSFET M1 and the gate of the SiC MOSFET M2 in the main power circuit. The base of Q1 in the first proportional current source circuit is the input end, the base of Q1, the output end of U1 in the first non-inverting amplifier circuit and the output end of U2 in the first differential amplifier circuit are connected with each other, the anode of diode D1 in the first proportional current source circuit is the output end, the anode of D1, the gate of the SiC MOSFET M1 in the main power circuit and the positive electrode of Vgs in the conventional drive circuit are connected with each other, the base of Q4 in the second proportional current source circuit is the input end, the base of Q4, the output end of U3 in the second non-inverting amplifier circuit and the output end of U4 in the second differential amplifier circuit are connected with each other, the anode of diode D2 in the second proportional current source circuit is the output end, the anode of diode D2, the gate of the SiC MOSFET M2 in the main power circuit and the positive electrode of Vgs in the conventional drive circuit are connected with each other; the first proportional current source circuit and the second proportional current source circuit are respectively used to extract the gate current when the SiC MOSFET M1 and the SiC MOSFET M2 are turned on, so as to balance the current difference when the two SiC MOSFETs are connected in parallel.

[0028] As Figure 2As shown, working process A is the initial current sharing state when SiC MOSFET is turned on. In working process A, when SiC MOSFET M1 and SiC MOSFET M2 are turned on, the current flowing through SiC MOSFET M1 and SiC MOSFET M2 starts to rise from 0. Under the action of the current flowing through the inductor L1, the inductor L1 generates an induced electromotive force at the source of SiC MOSFET M1. This induced electromotive force causes the inductor L1 to form an induced voltage VL1. The first non-inverting amplifier circuit detects and amplifies the induced voltage VL1. The amplified induced voltage VL1 is transmitted to the first proportional current source circuit in the form of an electrical signal, and then the current is extracted from the gate branch of SiC MOSFET M1 through the first proportional current source circuit. This process is the initial current sharing of the current flowing through SiC MOSFET M1 when SiC MOSFET M1 is turned on; under the action of the current flowing through the inductor L2, the inductor L2 generates an induced electromotive force at the source of SiC MOSFET M1. An induced electromotive force is generated at the source of M2, which causes the inductor L2 to form an induced voltage VL2. The second non-inverting amplifier circuit detects and amplifies the induced voltage VL2. The amplified induced voltage VL2 is transmitted to the second proportional current source circuit in the form of an electrical signal. The current is then extracted from the gate branch of SiC MOSFET M2 through the second proportional current source circuit. This process is the initial current sharing of the current flowing through SiC MOSFET M2 when SiC MOSFET M2 is turned on. The initial current sharing of SiC MOSFET M1 and SiC MOSFET M2 occurs simultaneously.

[0029] like Figure 3 As shown in FIG, under the condition of working process A, after SiC MOSFET M1 and SiC MOSFET M2 are turned on, the magnitudes of VL1 and VL2 are compared through the differential amplifier circuit. When it is detected that VL1 is greater than VL2, working process B is entered, and the first differential amplifier circuit starts to work and acts on the transistor Q1 in the first proportional current source circuit, controlling the transistor Q1 to turn on, and then using the first proportional current source circuit to extract current from the gate branch of SiC MOSFET M1, thereby improving the working state of SiC MOSFET M1. On the contrary, as Figure 4 As shown, under the condition that working process A exists, when it is detected that VL1 is less than VL2, working process C is entered, the second differential amplifier circuit starts to work, and acts on the transistor Q4 in the second proportional current source circuit to control the transistor Q4 to turn on, and then the second proportional current source circuit is used to extract current from the gate branch of SiC MOSFET M2, thereby improving the working state of SiCMOSFET M2. The role of working process B and working process C is to once again share the current of the SiC MOSFETs working in parallel.

[0030] In an ideal case, the induced voltages are equal, at this time, the turn-on and turn-off of the proportional current source circuit is only controlled by the in-phase amplification circuit, and in the actual working process, due to the difference of the parasitic parameters of the parallel discrete branches and the immature preparation process of the SiC MOSFET device, the on-resistance, threshold voltage, parasitic inductance, parasitic capacitance and other parameters of the SiC MOSFET will exist certain difference, which leads to the change of the value of the induced voltage with the change of the working condition, therefore, the dynamic and static current imbalance phenomenon inevitably occurs when the SiC MOSFET device works in parallel, for the SiC MOSFET source induced larger voltage, due to the earlier turn-on time, the corresponding proportional current source circuit extraction current time is longer, this characteristic is conducive to the current flowing through the SiC MOSFET.

[0031] Figure 5 As shown, taking the working condition of 20A load current as an example, the four curves in the figure present different current states from top to bottom, the uppermost curve shows the state of the current I1 extracted from the gate branch of the SiC MOSFET M1 before current sharing, at this time, the current presents a certain degree of fluctuation; the second curve is the state curve of the current I1 extracted from the gate branch of the SiC MOSFET M1 after current sharing, it can be seen that the current I1 after current sharing becomes relatively stable; the third curve represents the state of the current I2 extracted from the gate branch of the SiC MOSFET M2 before current sharing, the current also has fluctuation; the lowermost curve is the state curve of the current I2 extracted from the gate branch of the SiC MOSFET M2 after current sharing, the current I2 after current sharing also tends to be stable, from Figure 5 It can be clearly seen that the current I1 and the current I2 can realize current sharing faster after control and become more stable after current sharing. Therefore, using the current sharing control method in the application, the current imbalance problem in the turn-on process of the multiple SiC MOSFETs in parallel is effectively improved, the current imbalance degree of the multiple SiC MOSFETs in parallel is reduced, and the device working reliability is further improved.

[0032] Finally, it should be noted that: the above examples are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application but not to limit it, although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present application can still be modified or replaced by equivalents, and these modifications or equivalent replacements cannot make the modified technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present application.
