Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of electronic circuits, and in particular to a high-voltage integrated circuit. Background Art

[0002] High voltage integrated circuit, or HVIC, is an integrated circuit product that converts MCU signals into IGBT driving signals. HVIC integrates PMOS tubes, NMOS tubes, triodes, diodes, voltage regulator tubes, resistors, and capacitors to form Schmitt, low voltage LEVELSHIFT, high voltage LEVELSHIFT, pulse generation circuit, delay circuit, filter circuit, overcurrent protection circuit, overheat protection circuit, undervoltage protection circuit, bootstrap circuit and other circuits. The single pulse GEN circuit in the existing HVIC high-side drive circuit generates pulses at the rising and falling edges of the HIN signal to drive DMOS. The pulse width is generally several hundred nanoseconds, so that HIN corresponds to HO. The basic high-side drive topology of HVIC is as follows: Figure 1 As shown. However, when the HVIC drives a large inductance circuit, the VS voltage will be pulled down in some cases, causing the RS trigger to be unable to record the signal from the single pulse GEN. To solve this problem, the single pulse signal GEN is changed to a double pulse GEN signal to ensure that the RS trigger can obtain the driving signal, but the double pulse GEN will increase the chip power consumption and heat in a short time. Summary of the invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is that, in view of the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, a high-voltage integrated circuit is provided to solve the problem that when a single-pulse GEN circuit is used inside a traditional HVIC, when the driving load is a large inductance circuit, the VS voltage will be pulled down under certain circumstances, resulting in the RS trigger being unable to record the signal sent by the single-pulse GEN circuit. A temperature-controlled delay circuit is added to the double-pulse GEN circuit, that is, a temperature-controlled double-pulse circuit is added to control the distance between the double pulses according to the chip power consumption problem, thereby avoiding the double-pulse GEN from increasing the chip power consumption and generating heat in a short period of time, and ensuring that the RS trigger can obtain the driving signal.

Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features. In the description of the present invention, the meaning of "plurality" is at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0022] like Figure 2-6 As shown, the high-voltage integrated circuit includes a signal input circuit, a first Schmitt circuit 001, a filter 002, a level conversion circuit 003, a high-voltage DOMS circuit, an RS trigger, a signal output circuit and a temperature-controlled double pulse circuit 006. The first Schmitt circuit 001 is electrically connected to the signal input circuit and the filter 002, respectively. The level conversion circuit 003 is electrically connected to the filter 002. The temperature-controlled double pulse circuit 006 is electrically connected to the level conversion circuit 003 and the high-voltage DOMS circuit, respectively. The RS trigger is electrically connected to the high-voltage DOMS circuit and the signal output circuit, respectively. The high-voltage DOMS circuit is composed of a transistor Q1 and a transistor Q2. It can be understood that the temperature-controlled double pulse circuit 006 is composed of a temperature-controlled delay circuit 007, two single-pulse GEN circuits 004, and two OR gates; the OR gate includes a first OR gate 008 and a second OR gate 009, and the first OR gate 008 and the second OR gate 009 are electrically connected to the single-pulse GEN circuit 4 respectively, the level conversion circuit 003 is electrically connected to the single-pulse GEN circuit 004 and the temperature-controlled delay circuit 007 respectively, and the temperature-controlled delay circuit 007 is electrically connected to the level conversion circuit 003 and the single-pulse GEN circuit 004 respectively. The upper bridge of the high-voltage integrated circuit uses dual pluses to drive the DMOS to turn on and off: the interval between the two pluses is adjusted by the chip through the temperature (the higher the temperature, the larger the interval), which is used to solve: 1. When the HVIC drives a large inductance circuit, the VS voltage will be pulled down under certain circumstances, causing the RS trigger to be unable to record the signal sent by the single pulse GEN; 2. Add a temperature control & delay circuit to the dual-pulse GEN circuit to control the distance between the dual pulses according to the chip problem, so as to avoid the dual-pulse GEN from increasing the chip power consumption and heating in a short period of time.

[0023] It can be understood that, generally speaking, the input end HIN of the signal input circuit inputs a high-level signal, which is outputted as a HINa pulse signal through the Schmitt circuit 001, the filter 002, and the level conversion circuit 003. The single-pulse GEN circuit 004 outputs short pulse signals G1 and G2 respectively through the rising and falling edges of the HINa pulse signal to drive high-voltage DMOS circuits such as transistors Q1 and Q2. The high-voltage DMOS circuit turns on and off to trigger the RS trigger to output a pulse signal, and controls the HO to output a driving pulse signal. The working logic of the single-pulse GEN circuit: when the HINa input is high level, the single-pulse GEN circuit 004 detects the HIN rising edge signal, G1 outputs a short pulse signal, and at this time, G2 outputs a low-level signal; when the single-pulse GEN circuit 004 detects the HIN falling edge signal, G2 outputs a short pulse signal, that is, the pulse width of the HIN input signal is consistent with the distance between the short pulses output by G1 and G2.

[0024] Understandable, such as Figure 2 As shown, when the temperature-controlled double pulse circuit 006 detects that HINa is the rising edge of a high-level signal, a double pulse signal is output through G1, and the time distance between the double pulses is controlled by the temperature-controlled delay circuit in the temperature-controlled double pulse circuit 006, that is, when the temperature is higher, the distance between the double pulses is larger, and when the temperature is lower, the distance between the double pulses is closer. When the temperature-controlled double pulse circuit 006 detects that HINa is the falling edge of a high-level signal, a double pulse signal is output through G2, and the time distance between the double pulses is controlled by the temperature-controlled delay circuit in the temperature-controlled double pulse circuit 006, that is, when the temperature is higher, the distance between the double pulses is larger, and when the temperature is lower, the distance between the double pulses is closer. Figure 3 As shown in the figure, when HINa is at a high level, G1 and G2 output double pulse signals. The higher the chip temperature, the wider the distance between the double pulses. When the signal temperature is t1, the distance between the double pulses is S1. When the temperature reaches a higher temperature t2, the distance between the double pulses is S2.

[0025] Understandable, such as Figure 4-5As shown, when HINa is at a high level: when the single pulse GEN circuit 004 detects the rising edge of the HINa high level signal, it outputs a single pulse signal a1, and at this time, G1 of the first OR gate 008 outputs a high level; when the single pulse GEN004 detects the falling edge of the HINa high level signal, it outputs a single pulse signal b1, and at this time, G2 of the second OR gate 009 outputs a high level. When the temperature control delay circuit 007 detects that HINa is at a high level, the input signal of HINa is delayed to the single pulse GEN circuit 004 according to the detected temperature. The higher the detected temperature, the longer the delay time. When the single pulse GEN circuit 004 detects the rising edge of the high level signal output by the temperature control delay circuit 007, it outputs a single pulse signal b2, and at this time, G1 of the OR gate 008 outputs a high level; when the single pulse GEN circuit 004 detects the falling edge of the high level signal output by the temperature control delay circuit 007, it outputs a single pulse signal a2, and at this time, G2 of the second OR gate 009 outputs a high level.

[0026] Specifically, Figure 6 As shown, the temperature control delay circuit includes a bandgap reference circuit, a PMOS tube Q3, a capacitor C1, a second Schmitt circuit and a pulse width adjustment circuit. The output end of the level conversion circuit is electrically connected to the PMOS tube Q3 and the pulse width adjustment circuit respectively, the bandgap reference circuit is electrically connected to the capacitor C1 and the second Schmitt circuit respectively, the second Schmitt circuit is electrically connected to the single pulse GEN circuit, and the pulse width adjustment circuit adopts an RS trigger; the bandgap reference circuit includes a resistor R1, a resistor R2, a resistor R3, The transistor Q4 and the transistor Q5 are composed of one end of the resistor R1 and one end of the resistor R2 are connected to the drain of the transistor Q3, the other end of the resistor R1, the collector of the transistor Q4 and the base of the transistor Q4 are connected to the base of the transistor Q5, the other end of the resistor R2, the collector of the transistor Q5 and one end of the capacitor C1 are connected to the second Schmitt circuit, one end of the resistor R3 is connected to the emitter of the transistor Q5, the emitter of the transistor Q4, the other end of the resistor R3 and the other end of the capacitor C1 are grounded.

[0027] Understandable, such as Figure 6 As shown, resistors R1, R2, R3, transistor Q4, and Q5 form a bandgap reference as a PTAT current source, and the current Iout flowing through resistor R3 is the PTAT current. The voltage at point A As the temperature rises, the Iout current increases, V A The value becomes smaller, and the time for the voltage across the capacitor C1 to charge to the trigger threshold of the Schmitt circuit 010 is longer, that is, the higher the temperature, the longer the delay time for the HINa signal to be transmitted to the single pulse GEN circuit 004 is.

[0028] It can be understood that the present invention has a reasonable design and unique structure, and can solve the problem that when a single-pulse GEN circuit is used inside a traditional HVIC, when the driving load is a large inductance circuit, the VS voltage will be pulled down under certain circumstances, causing the RS trigger to be unable to record the signal sent by the single-pulse GEN circuit; a temperature control delay circuit is added to the double-pulse GEN circuit to control the distance between the double-pulse GEN signals according to the chip problem, so as to avoid the double-pulse GEN signal increasing the chip power consumption and heating in a short time.

For those skilled in the art, various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations of these embodiments are made without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and still fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
