Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of control of power electronics and power automation equipment, and particularly relates to an IGBT gate driver based on floating ground current slope suppression. Background Art

[0002] At present, the application of IGBT driver technology at home and abroad in the field of medium and low power is relatively mature, mainly using digital control methods to achieve driving, and the functions are relatively single; IGBT combines the advantages of MOSFET and GTR, has high input impedance, fast switching speed, good thermal stability, low on-state voltage drop, high breakdown voltage, large current-carrying capacity, etc. In recent years, it has been widely used in various fields. Adopting a set of good performance drive circuits can shorten the switching time, reduce the switching loss, make the IGBT work in an ideal switching state, and at the same time is of great significance to the operation efficiency, reliability and safety of the product. IGBT is a voltage-controlled device. When a DC voltage of more than ten volts is applied between its gate and emitter, only a microampere-level current flows through. The IGBT driver is an interface circuit between the IGBT and the controller DSP chip. Its function is to convert the control signal from the digital signal processor into a driving signal with sufficient power to achieve the safe turn-on and turn-off of the IGBT, and provide electrical isolation between the processor and the IGBT. In order to correctly and effectively protect the IGBT when a fault occurs in the system, the IGBT driver also needs to provide corresponding fault protection functions such as overcurrent, overvoltage, and short circuit.
