[0002] In various industrial applications, power systems are often used to convert voltages. The power system includes multiple transistors. Through the switching of multiple transistors, the power system converts the received voltage to provide it to the load.

[0003] In addition, the power system further includes a control unit and a pulse width modulation unit. The control unit outputs a control signal so that the output voltage of the power system can be adjusted accordingly according to the control signal. The pulse width modulation unit generates multiple pulse width signals according to the control signal so that multiple transistors can perform switch switching according to the corresponding pulse width signals.

[0004] Each transistor in the power system usually contains a parasitic diode, and the diode has the characteristic of reverse recovery current, that is, the parasitic diode will have a reverse current for a certain period of time. Therefore, if the corresponding transistor is switched on during the reverse recovery current period, the reverse current on the parasitic diode will be instantly cut off. This sudden current cutoff will cause a surge voltage in the circuit, thereby causing damage to the circuit components of the power system. In order to avoid the above situation, most power systems currently add a minimum pulse width limitation technology to the implementation of switch switching to ensure that the reverse recovery current on the parasitic diode of the transistor can be completely terminated.

[0005] However, since the power system is equipped with a minimum pulse width limitation technology, during the period of the minimum pulse width limitation, the output voltage output by the power system will be clamped according to the minimum pulse width limitation, and cannot accurately follow the control signal output by the control unit to adjust, resulting in the output power output by the power system being distorted during the period of the minimum pulse width limitation.

[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to develop an improved power supply system and a pulse width modulation method applicable thereto to solve the above problems faced by the prior art. Summary of the invention

[0067] Of course, the switch module 30 of the power conversion device 3 can also be a T-type three-level switch module, that is, Figure 1CAs shown, the switch module 30 includes a first transistor Q1, a second transistor Q2, a third transistor Q3, and a fourth transistor Q4. The first transistor Q1 includes a control terminal, a first terminal, and a second terminal, wherein the control terminal of the first transistor Q1 is coupled to the first driving signal P1, and the first terminal of the first transistor Q1 is coupled to the DC voltage source Vdc. The second transistor Q2 includes a control terminal, a first terminal, and a second terminal, wherein the control terminal of the second transistor Q2 is coupled to the second driving signal P2, and the first terminal of the second transistor Q2 is coupled to the DC voltage source Vdc.

Figure 1C The actuation of the switch module 30 and Figure 1B The switch modules 30 shown in the figure have the same actuation mode and can achieve the same effect. Therefore, the technical contents mentioned below are only based on Figure 1B The switch module 30 is shown for exemplary purposes.

[0068] The first drive signal P1, the second drive signal P2, the third drive signal P3 and the fourth drive signal P4 output by the pulse width modulation device 2 are respectively provided to the first transistor Q1, the second transistor Q2, the third transistor Q3 and the fourth transistor Q4, so that the first transistor Q1, the second transistor Q2, the third transistor Q3 and the fourth transistor Q4 are respectively switched on or off. In some embodiments, the waveforms of the first drive signal P1 and the third drive signal P3 are complementary, and the waveforms of the second drive signal P2 and the fourth drive signal P4 are complementary. In other words, the operating mode of the first transistor Q1 is complementary to the operating mode of the third transistor Q3, and the operating mode of the second transistor Q2 is complementary to the operating mode of the fourth transistor Q4.

[0069] The pulse width modulation device 2 further includes a control unit 20 and a pulse width modulation unit 21. The control unit 20 is used to generate a control signal Sc to the pulse width modulation unit 21, and the pulse width modulation unit 21 controls the switch module 30 in the power conversion device 3 according to the control signal Sc, wherein the control signal Sc can be but is not limited to a periodic signal. In some embodiments, the control unit 20 further samples the output voltage Vout and the output current of the power conversion device 3 through a voltage sampling element or a current sampling element, etc., so as to adjust the control signal Sc accordingly according to the sampling results. The pulse width modulation unit 21 is based on a reference voltage level Vref, for example Figure 2 The reference voltage level Vref of the zero voltage level is shown, which determines the critical time point of the control signal Sc, and the control signal area Sc is divided into a positive cycle signal Sc+ of a positive half cycle and a negative cycle signal Sc- of a negative half cycle according to the critical time point. Figure 2 As shown, when the critical time point of the control signal Sc is determined by the zero voltage level, the critical time point of the control signal Sc is t0, so the control signal Sc is a positive cycle signal Sc+ after time t0, and the control signal Sc is a negative cycle signal Sc- before time t0, wherein the control signal Sc is close to the reference voltage level Vref within an allowable error range at the critical time point t0.

[0070] In addition, the pulse width modulation unit 21 clamps the portion of the positive cycle signal Sc+ that is greater than or equal to the maximum voltage threshold Vmax at the maximum voltage threshold Vmax to form a first comparison waveform S1, and the pulse width modulation unit 21 also clamps the positive cycle signal Sc+ at the reference voltage level Vref to form a second comparison waveform S2. The pulse width modulation unit 21 samples the critical time point (such as Figure 2 The pulse width modulation unit 21 further superimposes the low voltage threshold Vmin and the first comparison waveform S1 falling within the first time interval ΔT1 to form a first ramp signal S1a (such as Figure 3A As shown), the pulse width modulation unit 21 also superimposes the low voltage threshold Vmin and the second comparison waveform S2 falling within the first time interval ΔT1 to form a first pulse width signal S2a (as shown Figure 3B shown).

[0071] Furthermore, within the first time interval ΔT1, the pulse width modulation unit 21 compares the first ramp signal S1a with the first triangle wave ePWM1 to adjust the first driving signal P1 and the third driving signal P3, and the pulse width modulation unit 21 compares the first pulse width signal S2a with the second triangle wave ePWM2 to adjust the second driving signal S2 and the fourth driving signal P4 (such as Figure 4A As shown), the phase difference between the first triangular wave ePWM1 and the second triangular wave ePWM2 is 180 degrees.

[0072] In the above embodiment, the first time interval ΔT1 is the time interval during which the power system 1 performs minimum pulse width limitation in the positive half cycle of the control signal zone Sc. The low voltage threshold Vmin is the preset value of the output voltage Vout of the power system 1 when the power system 1 performs minimum pulse width limitation.

[0073] Furthermore, if Figure 4A As shown, within the first time interval ΔT1, when the pulse width modulation unit 21 determines that the first ramp signal S1a is greater than the first triangle wave ePWM1, the pulse width modulation unit 21 switches the first drive signal P1 to a high voltage level, and switches the third drive signal P3 to a low voltage level, so that the first transistor Q1 is switched on and the third transistor Q3 is switched off; in addition, within the first time interval ΔT1, when the pulse width modulation unit 21 determines that the first pulse width signal S2a is less than the second triangle wave ePWM2, the pulse width modulation unit 21 switches the second drive signal P2 to a high voltage level, and switches the fourth drive signal P4 to a low voltage level, so that the second transistor Q2 is switched on and the fourth transistor Q4 is switched off.

[0074] In addition, within the first time interval ΔT1, when the pulse width modulation unit 21 determines that the first ramp signal S1a is less than or equal to the first triangle wave ePWM1, the pulse width modulation unit 21 switches the first drive signal P1 to a low voltage level and switches the third drive signal P3 to a high voltage level, so that the first transistor Q1 is switched off and the third transistor Q3 is switched on; and within the first time interval ΔT1, when the pulse width modulation unit 21 determines that the first pulse width signal S2a is greater than or equal to the second triangle wave ePWM2, the pulse width modulation unit 21 switches the second drive signal P2 to a low voltage level and switches the fourth drive signal P4 to a high voltage level, so that the second transistor Q2 is switched off and the fourth transistor Q4 is switched on. Figure 4AIt can be seen that in the positive half cycle of the control signal Sc, the output voltage Vout consists of 0, -Vdc / 2 and Vdc / 2.

[0075] As can be seen from the foregoing, the pulse width modulation unit 21 of the power supply system 1 of the present invention will superimpose the low voltage threshold Vmin and the first comparison waveform S1 falling within the first time interval ΔT1 to form a first ramp signal S1a during the positive half cycle of the control signal Sc and in the first time interval ΔT1 from the critical time point t0 to the first predetermined time, and superimpose the low voltage threshold Vmin and the second comparison waveform S2 falling within the first time interval ΔT1 to form a first pulse width signal S2a. In other words, when the control signal Sc is in the positive half cycle and the power supply system 1 performs the minimum pulse width restriction, the control signal Sc is compensated for the low voltage threshold Vmin. In this way, the power supply system 1 of the present invention can not only meet the minimum pulse width restriction, but also because in the first time interval ΔT1 from the critical time point t0 to the first predetermined time, the first ramp signal S1a superimposes the positive half cycle of the control signal Sc and the first pulse width signal S2a. The low voltage threshold Vmin generated by a is cancelled, so the ideal control signal Sc is maintained and the time zone in which the power system 1 executes the minimum pulse width limitation is satisfied, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the output voltage Vout.

[0076] The operation of the power system 1 when the control signal Sc is in the negative half cycle will be described below. Figure 1A-1B , Figure 2 , and cooperate with Figure 5A , Figure 5B , Fig. 6A and Figure 6B ,in Figure 5A To explain the signal timing diagram of the pulse width modulation unit 21 generating the second pulse width signal S3a and the third reference waveform S3', Figure 5B To explain the signal timing diagram of the pulse width modulation unit 21 generating the second ramp signal S4a and the fourth reference waveform S4', Fig. 6A is a signal timing diagram of the first triangular wave ePWM1, the second triangular wave ePWM2, the second pulse width signal S3a, the second ramp signal S4a, and the first drive signal P1 to the fourth drive signal P4 in the second time interval, Figure 6B1 is a signal timing diagram of the first triangular wave ePWM1, the second triangular wave ePWM2, the third reference waveform S3', the fourth reference waveform S4', the first driving signal P1 to the fourth driving signal P4 in the second time interval. In some embodiments, during the negative half cycle of the control signal Sc, the pulse width modulation unit 21 clamps the negative cycle signal Sc- at the reference voltage level Vref to serve as the third comparison waveform S3, and the pulse width modulation unit 21 inverts the negative cycle signal Sc-, and clamps the portion of the inverted negative cycle signal Sc- that is greater than or equal to the maximum voltage threshold Vmax at the maximum voltage threshold Vmax to form the fourth comparison waveform S4.

[0077] In addition, the pulse width modulation unit 21 can further sample the third comparison waveform S3 and the fourth comparison waveform S4 falling within the second time interval ΔT2 from the critical time point t0 to the second predetermined time t2. The pulse width modulation unit 21 further superimposes the low voltage threshold Vmin and the third comparison waveform S3 falling within the second time interval ΔT2 to form a second pulse width signal S3a, and the pulse width modulation unit 21 also superimposes the low voltage threshold Vmin and the fourth comparison waveform S4 falling within the second time interval ΔT2 to form a second ramp signal S4a.

[0078] Furthermore, in the second time interval ΔT2, the pulse width modulation unit 21 compares the second pulse width signal S3a with the first triangular wave ePWM1 to adjust the first driving signal P1 and the third driving signal P3, and the pulse width modulation unit 21 compares the second ramp signal S4a with the second triangular wave ePWM2 to adjust the second driving signal P2 and the fourth driving signal P4.
