Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of electronic circuits, and in particular to an HVIC three-phase drive integrated circuit. Background Art
[0002] A high-voltage integrated circuit (HVIC) converts MCU signals into signals that drive IGBTs. An HVIC integrates PMOS transistors, NMOS transistors, triodes, diodes, voltage regulators, resistors, and capacitors to form a Schmitt diode, low-voltage level switches, high-voltage level switches, pulse generators, delay circuits, filter circuits, overcurrent protection, thermal protection, undervoltage protection, and bootstrap circuits. The HVIC receives control signals from the MCU to drive the subsequent IGBTs or MOS transistors. It also transmits system status detection signals back to the MCU.
[0003] Traditional HVIC has half-bridge and full-bridge drive types. Compared with the driving solutions in the field of highly integrated IPM intelligent power modules, the design methods of these two solutions are currently limited in universality. With the trend of miniaturization and integration of intelligent power modules, the traditional half-bridge and full-bridge methods cannot fully meet the development direction, such as Figure 1-2 As shown in the figure, the IPM module wiring design is not convenient for routing design, which increases the difficulty of routing. The routing is too long, resulting in poor anti-interference ability and reduced product reliability. If the application design is not reasonable, it is easy to cause false triggering, affecting the user experience. Summary of the Invention

Circuit 24 is electrically connected to the high-voltage area output circuit 25; the dual-channel low-side drive circuit includes a Schmitt trigger 26, a low-pass filter 27, a VREG generating circuit 28, a low-voltage area output circuit 29, a Schmitt trigger 31, a low-pass filter 32, a VREG generating circuit 33 and a low-voltage area output circuit 34, the low-pass filter 27 is electrically connected to the Schmitt trigger 26 and the VREG generating circuit 28 respectively, the second interlock circuit 16 is electrically connected to the VREG generating circuit 28 and the low-voltage area output circuit 29 respectively, the low-pass filter 32 is electrically connected to the Schmitt trigger 31 and the VREG generating circuit 33 respectively, and the VREG generating circuit 33 is electrically connected to the low-voltage area output circuit 34.
[0027] It can be understood that the first three-channel HVIC circuit 05 is a PMOS tube, an NMOS tube, a triode, a diode, a voltage regulator, a resistor, and a capacitor integrated together to form a power supply circuit, a power supply undervoltage protection circuit, two high-voltage side drive circuits (bootstrap circuit, high-voltage side undervoltage protection circuit), one low-voltage side drive circuit, an enable circuit, an overcurrent protection circuit, an overheating protection circuit and an overvoltage protection circuit, etc.; the second three-channel HVIC circuit 06 is a PMOS tube, an NMOS tube, a triode, a diode, a voltage regulator, a resistor, and a capacitor integrated together to form a power supply circuit, a power supply undervoltage protection circuit, one high-voltage side drive circuit (bootstrap circuit, high-voltage side undervoltage protection circuit), two low-voltage side drive circuits, an enable circuit, an overcurrent protection circuit, an overheating protection circuit and an overvoltage protection circuit, etc., the interlock circuit is connected to the high-side drive circuit and the low-side drive circuit, and the interlock circuit is connected to the high-side drive circuit and the low-side drive circuit.
[0028] It can be understood that both LIN and HIN need to let the input signals pass through the Schmitt trigger first to filter the level noise of the input circuit. The maximum value of logic 0 is 0.8V, and the minimum value of logic 1 is 2.9V. The low-pass filter is used to filter the high-frequency noise of the input circuit. At the same time, in order to give VB enough charging time and avoid the driven back-end circuit working in a state of insufficient VB voltage (which will reduce the efficiency of the back-end circuit), it is necessary to limit the frequency range of the input signal and filter out signals with excessively high frequencies. Generally, signals above 600KHz to 700KHz should be filtered out. VREG generation circuit: The power supply voltage TYPE value of the driver IC is generally 15V. To receive the 5V logic 1 signal of the MCU, etc., a 7V to 8V VREG must be generated to generate a 7.2V VREG signal with good temperature characteristics.
[0029] As you can understand, the interlock circuit is necessary to prevent the HO and LO pins from being simultaneously high when the HIN and LIN inputs of the HVIC are simultaneously high. When HIN and LIN are simultaneously high, the HO and LO pins are simultaneously set to low. (If HO and LO are simultaneously high, subsequent components such as the IGBT will be turned on at the same time, causing a large current to flow and damaging the IGBT and other subsequent components.)
[0030] When both inputs are at logic 1, both outputs are at logic 0. In other cases, the input and output have the same logic:
[0031]
[0032]
[0033] Undervoltage protection circuit: Whether it's VDD or the bootstrap VB, when the voltage drops too low, the HVIC shuts down (keeping the output at logic 0) to protect subsequent circuitry. In the low-voltage range, a UVD filter detects the VDD level. In the high-voltage range, a UVD filter detects the VB level. When VDD (the voltage of VB relative to VS) drops below 10V, the output remains at logic 0. When VDD rises above 10.7V, the output remains at logic 1. This creates a 0.7V difference. This ensures that the output only reaches a high level after confirming that the power supply voltage is sufficiently high. To account for power supply noise, a delay circuit should be added at the end of the circuit to prevent malfunctioning of the output if the power supply voltage drops momentarily due to power supply noise. The fault logic control circuit receives fault signals from various functional circuits and, based on these signals, generates a fault signal from the FO. Depending on the severity of the fault, it disables the corresponding function or shuts down all HVIC functions, protecting the HVIC and the entire application circuit. A fault signal of 1 for each of the undervoltage protection, overvoltage protection, current protection, overtemperature protection, and EN enable functions indicates normal operation. When the signal is 0, the fault logic control circuit outputs a fault signal from the FO, causing the HVIC to enter the corresponding functional protection mode, shutting down the six PWM waveforms and halting operation. The pulse selection circuit consists of logic circuits, including two triple-AND gates, one NOT gate, and two OR gates. The pulse generation circuit (PULSE GEN) includes both a ONESHOT and DOUBLEPLUSE pulse circuits. The AND gate performs a logical multiplication operation and has two or more inputs and one output (typical circuits have only one output, while ECL circuits have two outputs). The output of this circuit is high (logic "1") only when all input terminals are high (logic "1"). Otherwise, the output is low (logic "0"). The mathematical logic expression of the three-input AND gate is: Y = ABC, and the corresponding truth table is as follows:
[0034]
[0035] The present invention can effectively solve the complex wiring requirements of the miniaturized main control board without increasing the cost and keeping the process unchanged, so that the output end of the intelligent IPM can be designed and matched more freely, thereby improving the reliability and adaptability of the product, avoiding some product quality risks caused by wiring difficulties due to the HVIC solution, and providing users with more choices in application solutions, thereby improving the user experience.
