Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of power electronics, in particular to a driving circuit for power switching devices in three-phase systems. BACKGROUND

[0002] Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) and Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor (MOSFET) are the core power switching devices in modern power electronics, whose reliable and efficient working state highly depends on the performance of gate driving circuit. A good driving circuit needs to provide the gate of power device with pulse voltage of sufficient amplitude, steep rising and falling edges, and necessary isolation, protection and voltage stabilization functions.

[0003] In the application of three-phase AC system (such as three-phase motor variable frequency drive, three-phase uninterruptible power supply, photovoltaic / wind power inverter, etc.), it is a great technical challenge to provide driving power for the IGBT or MOSFET of upper bridge arm. Because the reference ground (emitter or source) of upper bridge arm power device is floating at high potential, the traditional driving scheme of single DC bus power supply cannot be directly applied. At present, the mainstream technical solutions to solve this problem mainly have the following two kinds: Using isolation transformer: this is a classic scheme. Through multiple isolation transformers, the low-voltage power supply located on the control board is coupled to each floating driving point. The advantages of this scheme are mature technology and reliable electrical isolation. However, its disadvantages are also very significant: the isolation transformer is usually large in size and heavy in weight, which is not conducive to the miniaturization and lightweight design of power electronics; at the same time, the magnetic core material and non-ideal characteristics of the transformer may limit its working performance at high frequency and introduce large electromagnetic interference (EMI).

[0004] Using dedicated switching power supply (such as switching capacitor charge pump or isolated DC-DC module): this is a more modern scheme. By designing a complex switching power supply circuit (such as charge pump based on application specific integrated circuit ASIC) or directly using a finished isolated DC-DC power supply module, an independent isolated power supply is provided for each upper bridge arm driving circuit. Although this scheme has excellent performance, it introduces significant complexity and cost. The dedicated chip or module itself is relatively expensive, and the peripheral circuit design is complex, which increases the number of components, PCB area and overall cost of the entire system.

[0005] In summary, the existing driving power supply schemes have a common contradiction: if we pursue a simple structure and low cost, it is difficult to meet the requirements of high-performance isolated driving (such as transformer scheme); if we pursue high performance and high reliability, it is often accompanied by complex circuit, high cost and large size (such as switching power supply scheme). This contradiction is particularly prominent in three-phase systems that require multiple isolated driving power supplies. SUMMARY

[0017] The application will be further described below in combination with the drawings of the specification and specific preferred embodiments, but the protection scope of the application is not limited thereby.

[0018] The embodiment proposes a driving circuit for a three-phase system power switching device, which aims to directly obtain energy from a three-phase alternating current system and generate a stable direct current voltage to reliably drive a power switching device (such as an IGBT or MOSFET) without relying on an isolation transformer and a complex switching power supply, so as to reduce system cost, reduce size, simplify design, and improve driving robustness under high-frequency high-voltage working conditions.

[0019] The driving circuit of the embodiment is applied to a specific three-phase alternating current system, the three-phase alternating current system includes a power switching group corresponding to each of the A phase, the B phase and the C phase, each power switching group includes two power switching devices of an upper bridge arm power switch and a lower bridge arm power switch, the driving circuit corresponds to the upper bridge arm power switch, so that an independent power obtaining and driving unit is arranged for each upper bridge arm power switching device, energy is directly obtained from the three-phase alternating current system, and a stable and reliable driving voltage is generated through a simple passive and active circuit.

[0020] In this embodiment, the driving circuit includes a capacitor voltage divider circuit, a voltage regulator circuit, and a push-pull driving circuit. The capacitor voltage divider circuit is connected to the two phases other than the corresponding phase. The output terminal of the capacitor voltage divider circuit is connected to the upper bridge arm power switch of the corresponding phase in sequence through the corresponding voltage regulator circuit and the push-pull driving circuit, so as to realize the direct power supply from the three-phase power supply and generate a stable DC voltage to reliably drive the power switching device.

[0021] When the upper bridge arm power switch uses a MOSFET switch, the drive circuit corresponds one-to-one with the MOSFET switch of the upper bridge arm power switch, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the power switch Q6 of the upper bridge arm of phase B is connected to the corresponding drive circuit. The drive circuit structure of the upper bridge arms of phases A and C is exactly the same as that of phase B, so it is omitted in the figure.

[0022] When IGBTs are used as the power switches in the upper bridge arms, due to the unidirectional conductivity of IGBTs, the power switching device in each upper bridge arm needs to be replaced with a pair of anti-parallel IGBTs. The drive circuit corresponds one-to-one with the IGBTs of the upper bridge arm power switches, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the pair of anti-parallel IGBTs (Q15 and Q16) in phase B are each connected to a corresponding drive circuit. The drive circuit structures of the upper bridge arms in phases A and C are exactly the same as those in phase B, so they are omitted in the figure.

[0023] In this embodiment, the capacitor voltage divider circuit includes a first isolation capacitor, a second isolation capacitor, a first diode, a second diode, and a filter capacitor. The anode of the first diode is connected to one of the two phases other than the corresponding phase through the first isolation capacitor. The anode of the second diode is connected to the other of the two phases other than the corresponding phase through the second isolation capacitor. The cathodes of the first diode and the second diode are both connected to the positive terminal of the filter capacitor. The negative terminal of the filter capacitor is connected to the drive reference ground of the upper bridge arm power switch of the corresponding phase. The positive and negative terminals of the filter capacitor serve as the positive and negative output terminals of the capacitor voltage divider circuit, respectively, and are connected to the corresponding voltage regulator circuit. This circuit uses capacitors to divide and rectify the three-phase voltage, generating a DC voltage across the filter capacitor.

[0024] Figure 1In the circuit, the capacitor divider circuit for the upper bridge arm MOSFET (Q6) of phase B consists of a first isolation capacitor C1, a second isolation capacitor C4, a first diode D1, a second diode D3, and a filter capacitor C2. One end of C1 is connected to phase A of the three-phase system, and one end of C4 is connected to phase C of the three-phase system. The anode of D1 is connected to the other end of C1, and the anode of D3 is connected to the other end of C4. The cathodes of D1 and D3 are connected to the positive terminal of the filter capacitor C2. The negative terminal of C2 is connected to the source (S) of the upper bridge arm MOSFET Q6 of phase B. This point serves as the reference ground (GND_DRV) of this drive circuit, which is a floating reference point with a high potential relative to the system ground.

[0025] Utilizing the phase difference between the three-phase voltages (phase A, phase B, and phase C), current flows into the circuit through capacitors C1 and C4. D1 and D3 alternately conduct within different phase intervals of the three-phase voltages, charging capacitor C2. Specifically, when the phase A voltage is higher than the phase B voltage and the voltage difference is sufficient to overcome the forward voltage drop of D1 and the voltage at the C2 terminal, D1 conducts, and current flows through C1 and D1 to charge C2; ​​when the phase C voltage is higher than the phase B voltage and the corresponding conditions are met, D3 conducts, and current flows through C4 and D3 to charge C2. Because the three-phase voltages differ by 120°, D1 and D3 exhibit a specific alternating conduction pattern within each power frequency cycle. Essentially, it is a dual-source capacitor step-down half-wave rectifier circuit that utilizes the capacitive reactance characteristics of the isolation capacitor to achieve current-limited energy extraction, obtaining DC energy from the three-phase AC system without the need for a power frequency transformer. The voltage rating and capacitance value of the isolation capacitors (C1, C4) need to be selected based on the system voltage and the required drive power. By appropriately selecting the capacitance values ​​of C1 and C4 (typically high-voltage ceramic or film capacitors ranging from nanofarads to microfarads), and dividing them with C2, a pulsating DC voltage is obtained across C2. The average value of this voltage can be approximately estimated using the following formula: in, This is the voltage across the filter capacitor. The phase voltage amplitude, The forward voltage drop of diodes D1 and D3 is... This represents the equivalent capacitance of capacitors C1 and C4 connected in series.

[0026] Figure 2Taking Q16 in the upper arm IGBT of phase B as an example, the capacitor voltage divider circuit consists of a first isolation capacitor C5, a second isolation capacitor C8, a first diode D4, a second diode D6, and a filter capacitor C6. One end of C5 is connected to phase A of the three-phase system, and one end of C8 is connected to phase C of the three-phase system. The anode of D4 is connected to the other end of C5, and the anode of D6 is connected to the other end of C8. The cathodes of D4 and D6 are connected to the positive terminal of the filter capacitor C6. The negative terminal of C6 is connected to the emitter (E terminal) of Q16 in the upper arm IGBT of phase B. Its working principle is similar to... Figure 1 The capacitor voltage divider circuit is exactly the same as that in the previous example, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0027] In this embodiment, the voltage regulator circuit includes a first current-limiting resistor, a second current-limiting resistor, a transistor serving as the regulating transistor, a Zener diode, a compensation capacitor, and an output capacitor. The positive terminal of the capacitor voltage divider circuit is connected to the collector of the transistor through the first current-limiting resistor. The positive terminal of the capacitor voltage divider circuit is also connected to the base of the transistor through the second current-limiting resistor. The emitter of the transistor is connected to the positive terminal of the output capacitor. The base of the transistor is also connected to the cathode of the Zener diode. The anode of the Zener diode is connected to the drive reference ground of the upper bridge arm power switch of the corresponding phase. The compensation capacitor is connected between the base of the transistor and the positive terminal of the output capacitor. The positive and negative terminals of the output capacitor serve as the positive and negative output terminals of the voltage regulator circuit, respectively, and are connected to the corresponding push-pull drive circuit. When the base voltage of the transistor (stabilized by the Zener diode) is higher than its emitter voltage (Vout), the transistor conducts and charges the output capacitor; otherwise, it is cut off, thereby stabilizing the output voltage Vout.

[0028] Figure 1 In the circuit diagram, the voltage regulator circuit for the upper bridge arm MOSFET (Q6) of phase B consists of a first current-limiting resistor R1, a second current-limiting resistor R2, a PNP transistor Q3 as the regulating transistor, a Zener diode D2, a compensation capacitor C15, and an output capacitor C3. One end of R1 is connected to the positive terminal of capacitor C2, and the other end is connected to the collector of Q3. The emitter of Q3 serves as the regulated output terminal (Vout) and is connected to the positive terminal of output capacitor C3. The negative terminal of C3 is connected to the source of Q6, which serves as the drive reference ground (GND_DRV). The cathode of Zener diode D2 is connected to the base of Q3, and the anode is connected to the drive reference ground. The compensation capacitor C15 is connected between the base of Q3 and Vout. The second current-limiting resistor R2 is connected between the base of Q3 and the positive terminal of capacitor C2 to provide a base current path and improve stability.

[0029] In this embodiment, the regulating transistor Q3 needs to be a PNP transistor with sufficient current gain (β value) and power handling capability to ensure that the peak current required for gate drive can be provided. The Zener diode D2's Zener voltage Vz determines the final drive voltage Vout (Vout ≈ Vz - 0.7V). Zener diode D2 clamps the base voltage of Q3 to a fixed value Vz. The emitter output voltage of Q3, Vout = Vz - Vbe, where Vbe is the base-emitter voltage drop of Q3 (typically about 0.7V). When the load lightens and Vout attempts to rise, the base-emitter voltage Vbe of Q3 decreases, the conduction of Q3 weakens, thereby limiting the charging current to C3, causing Vout to fall back. Conversely, when the load increases and Vout decreases, the conduction of Q3 deepens, increasing the charging current, causing Vout to rise again. In this way, regardless of the load changes brought about by the subsequent push-pull circuit and MOSFET gate charging, Vout can be maintained at a relatively stable value, such as 15V or 12V, specifically determined by the voltage regulation value Vz of the selected Zener diode D2.

[0030] In this embodiment, the introduction of compensation capacitor C15 constitutes a local frequency compensation network. When the load current changes abruptly due to the subsequent push-pull circuit and MOSFET gate charging, C15 can quickly absorb or release charge, smoothing the change in Q3 base voltage, thereby significantly suppressing the instantaneous fluctuation of Vout and improving the dynamic stability of the drive power supply and its responsiveness to load changes. This is particularly suitable for scenarios where power is drawn from a pulsating DC power supply.

[0031] Figure 2 Taking Q16 in the upper arm IGBT of phase B as an example, the voltage regulator circuit consists of a first current-limiting resistor R3, a second current-limiting resistor R4, a transistor Q12 (PNP type) as the regulating transistor, a Zener diode D5, a compensation capacitor C17, and an output capacitor C7. One end of R3 is connected to the positive terminal of capacitor C6, and the other end is connected to the collector of Q12. One end of R4 is connected to the positive terminal of capacitor C6, and the other end is connected to the base of Q12. The emitter of Q12 serves as the regulated output terminal (Vout) and is connected to the positive terminal of output capacitor C7. The negative terminal of C7 is connected to the emitter of Q16, which serves as the drive reference ground (GND_DRV). The cathode of Zener diode D5 is connected to the base of Q12, and the anode is connected to the drive reference ground. The compensation capacitor C17 is connected between the base of Q12 and Vout. Its working principle is similar to... Figure 1 The voltage regulator circuit is exactly the same as that in the previous one, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0032] In this embodiment, the push-pull drive circuit includes complementary first and second transistors, as well as a base-limiting current resistor and an accelerating capacitor. The bases of both the first and second transistors are connected to an external drive control signal via the base-limiting current resistor. The collector of the first transistor is connected to the positive output terminal (Vout) of the voltage regulator circuit, and the collector of the second transistor is connected to the drive reference ground (GND_DRV) of the upper arm power switch of the corresponding phase. The emitters of the first and second transistors are connected together to form a push-pull output terminal connected to the controlled terminal of the upper arm power switch of the corresponding phase. The accelerating capacitor and the base-limiting current resistor are connected in parallel to form a RC composite drive network bridging the drive control signal input terminal and the base connection point of the two transistors. This circuit can provide sufficient pull-up and pull-down currents to ensure rapid turn-on and turn-off of the upper arm power switch.

[0033] Figure 1 In the circuit, the push-pull drive circuit for the upper bridge arm MOSFET (Q6) of phase B consists of an NPN transistor Q4, a PNP transistor Q5, a base current-limiting resistor R24, and an accelerating capacitor C13. The emitters of Q4 and Q5 are connected together as the output of the drive signal, which is directly connected to the gate (G) of the power MOSFET Q6 to be driven. The collector of Q4 is connected to the output of the voltage regulator circuit (Vout, i.e., the positive terminal of C3), and the collector of Q5 is connected to the drive reference ground (GND_DRV, i.e., the source of Q6). The drive control signal V_DRV generated by the external controller (typically a logic level of 0V and 5V or 3.3V) is applied to the bases of Q4 and Q5 through the parallel network of R24 and C13.

[0034] This is an enhanced totem-pole output circuit. Push-pull transistors Q4 and Q5 are selected as small-to-medium power transistors with fast switching speed and high current capability. When V_DRV is high, Q4 conducts, Q5 is cut off, and the drive current flows from Vout through Q4, rapidly charging the gate capacitor of Q6, causing Q6 to turn on quickly.

[0035] In this process, the parallel configuration of R24 and C13 significantly improves the reliability of operation in high-frequency, high-voltage three-phase systems: at the rising edge of the drive signal, C13 presents extremely low impedance, forming a transient low-impedance path, which is equivalent to injecting pulse-enhanced current (charge pump effect) into the totem pole base, enabling Q4 to quickly cross the linear region and enter the saturation state, significantly shortening the turn-on delay; as the base voltage stabilizes, C13 completes charging, and R24 automatically dominates the current path, precisely limiting the steady-state base current and preventing storage effects and additional power consumption caused by deep transistor saturation. This adaptive characteristic of "transient strong drive + steady-state current limiting" overcomes the contradiction between switching speed and drive loss in conventional direct-connection schemes.

[0036] When V_DRV is low, Q4 is off, Q5 is on, and the charge stored in the gate of Q6 is quickly discharged to the drive reference ground through Q5, causing Q6 to turn off quickly.

[0037] In particular, under the high dv / dt conditions of a high-voltage three-phase system, the parallel network of R24 and C13 exhibits excellent anti-interference performance: when the high dv / dt generated by the power device's turn-off couples interference charge to the gate through the Miller capacitance (Cgd), C13 responds immediately with its low-frequency impedance characteristics, providing a low-impedance discharge path for the charge through the base of Q5, while R24 provides the necessary damping effect to suppress LC oscillation. This synergistic mechanism of "fast bypass + oscillation suppression" effectively absorbs the Miller current attempting to raise the gate potential, preventing the power switch from being mis-turned on, and significantly improving the reliability of operation under high-frequency, high-voltage three-phase cross-interference environments. At the same time, because C13 accelerates the turn-on speed of Q5, it ensures that the gate potential is quickly clamped to a low level, further optimizing the immunity to interference during the turn-off process.

[0038] This push-pull structure, which introduces a parallel network of R24 and C13 at the base of the totem pole, provides a low-impedance drive source without increasing circuit complexity, ensuring fast switching of Q6 and reducing switching losses.

[0039] Figure 2 Taking Q16 in the upper arm IGBT of phase B as an example, the push-pull drive circuit consists of an NPN transistor Q13, a PNP transistor Q14, a base current limiting resistor R21, and an accelerating capacitor C19. The emitters of Q13 and Q14 are connected together as the output of the drive signal, directly connected to the gate (G) of the Q16 to be driven. The collector of Q13 is connected to the output of the voltage regulator circuit (Vout, i.e., the positive terminal of C7), and the collector of Q14 is connected to the drive reference ground (GND_DRV, i.e., the source of Q16). The drive control signal V_DRV generated by the external controller (usually a logic level of 0V and 5V or 3.3V) is applied to the bases of Q13 and Q14 through the parallel network of R21 and C19. Its working principle is similar to... Figure 1 The push-pull drive circuit is exactly the same as that in the previous one, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0040] In summary, this invention proposes a drive circuit for power switching devices in three-phase systems, particularly suitable for insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) or metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) in three-phase AC systems (such as three-phase motor drives, three-phase inverters, frequency converters, etc.). By directly drawing power from the three-phase power supply and generating a stable DC voltage through a capacitor voltage divider and regulator circuit, efficient and reliable driving of power switching devices (such as IGBTs or MOSFETs) is achieved. This invention overcomes the limitations of traditional drive circuits that rely on bulky isolation transformers or complex switching power supplies, and has advantages such as simple structure, low cost, and easy integration. It is suitable for applications such as industrial drives, new energy power generation, and power conversion. Compared with existing technologies, this invention has the following significant advantages: Simplified structure and reduced cost: It completely eliminates the bulky isolation transformer and expensive dedicated switching power supply chips or modules, and only uses common passive and active components such as capacitors, diodes, transistors and Zener diodes, which greatly simplifies the circuit structure and reduces material cost (BOM cost) and PCB area.

[0041] High reliability: Due to the simple circuit structure and the use of mature and reliable conventional components, the potential failure points of the system are reduced, which helps to improve the overall reliability of the drive circuit.

[0042] High-efficiency power extraction: It cleverly utilizes the phase difference of the three-phase system itself to obtain energy directly from the main power circuit through capacitors, resulting in a short energy conversion path and high efficiency.

[0043] Excellent driving performance: By adding a voltage regulator circuit with a compensation capacitor, the driving voltage instability caused by three-phase power supply fluctuations and load changes is effectively suppressed, ensuring the reliability of the drive; by integrating a base current limiting resistor and an accelerating capacitor into a push-pull drive circuit, not only is low-impedance driving capability provided, ensuring fast switching of power devices to reduce switching losses, but also significantly enhancing the anti-interference capability and the smoothness of the switching process in high dv / dt operating environments.

[0044] Easy to implement and integrate: The solution has a clear principle and simple circuit, making it very easy to lay out and integrate on existing three-phase power boards. It is particularly suitable for application scenarios with high requirements for cost, size and reliability.
