Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of drive circuit technology, and more specifically, to a floating ground voltage generating circuit. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing localization of chip production, most electric vehicles, home appliances, new energy vehicles and renewable energy products have begun to gradually use specialized power semiconductor devices as switches. As a key component in switching power supply systems, the design of the drive circuit for power semiconductor devices is one of the key technologies in the power supply field.

[0003] Currently, power MOSFETs and IGBTs are widely used as power switches. As market demand shifts towards high-speed, high-voltage applications, isolated drive circuits can address these challenges. According to market research data, the market size is projected to exceed $2 billion by 2023, with a compound annual growth rate of approximately 6%. This indicates a rapid market growth and significant potential for isolated drive circuits.

[0004] Among them, the capacitor-isolated drive circuit is a type of isolated drive circuit. Because the insulating layer between the capacitor plates is made of a dielectric insulating material (such as silicon dioxide), this high-performance insulating material possesses very stable durability, reliability, and electromagnetic interference resistance, while also being able to withstand instantaneous high voltage. The distance, size, area, and insulating material of the capacitor plates in the capacitor-isolated drive circuit determine its electrical characteristics. The advantages of the capacitor-isolated drive circuit are high efficiency, excellent characteristics in terms of size, energy conversion, and resistance to electromagnetic interference and transient voltages. Furthermore, capacitor isolation has strong anti-interference capabilities and can operate in strong magnetic field environments. The excellent characteristics of capacitor isolation make it possible to realize low-cost, low-power integrated isolated drive circuits.

[0005] As a crucial component of capacitor-isolated drive circuits, the floating ground voltage generation circuit primarily generates a floating ground voltage that maintains a constant voltage difference from the power supply to drive the switching power transistor. For example... Figure 1 As shown, traditional floating ground voltage generation circuits mainly utilize the clamping principle of diodes to maintain a certain voltage difference between the power supply PVDD and the floating ground voltage FGND. Due to the large deviation of diodes with varying process angles, the voltage difference between the power supply PVDD and the floating ground voltage FGND varies greatly. A large voltage difference between the power supply PVDD and the floating ground voltage FGND can cause the gate-source VGS of the power transistor PMOS in the drive circuit to have withstand voltage problems. Conversely, a small voltage difference between the power supply PVDD and the floating ground voltage FGND can cause the drive current of the power transistor PMO in the drive circuit to be small, thus affecting the performance of the circuit system.

[0052] This embodiment uses an operational amplifier circuit with deep negative feedback, so that its output voltage Vout is proportional to the reference voltage Vref, i.e., Vout=K*Vref, where K is the proportionality coefficient.

[0053] The working principle of the high-precision floating ground voltage generation circuit in this embodiment is as follows:

[0054] The bias circuit 1 mainly consists of a common-source cascode current mirror circuit, resistors, and capacitors. Transistors HVMN3 and MN4 form the common-source cascode current mirror circuit to replicate the current at the reference current input terminal IREF. Transistor MP3 is connected as a diode. By dividing the voltage across resistor R1, two bias voltages are obtained: the first bias voltage output terminal Vb1 and the second bias voltage output terminal Vb2. Transistors HVMN5 and MN6 also form the common-source cascode current mirror circuit to replicate the current at the reference current input terminal IREF. A voltage drop is generated between resistors R2 and R3, which serves as the reference voltage at the input terminal of operational amplifier circuit 2. The output reference voltage is 2.5V. Capacitor C1 is used to stabilize the reference voltage.

[0055] The first input terminal of operational amplifier circuit 2 is connected to the reference voltage output terminal VREF, and the second input terminal is connected to the feedback voltage output terminal STBI of output circuit 4.

The voltage input at the external clamping voltage input terminal Vdz is 5.9V, clamping the gate voltage of transistors MN7 and MN8 to 5.9V to prevent transistors MN11 and MN12 from having a breakdown voltage risk. Transistors HVMN9, MN11, HVMN10, and MN12 are common-source cascode current mirror circuits, mirroring the current at the reference current input terminal IREF to provide current to operational amplifier circuit 2. Transistors MP7, HVMP9, MP8, and HVMP10 are the load transistors of operational amplifier circuit.

[0056] Fast response circuit 3 connects the gate of transistor MN13 to the output of operational amplifier circuit 2, and the drain of transistor MN13 is connected to the floating ground voltage output terminal FGND, forming a fast response path. This path allows for rapid adjustment of the floating ground voltage. Resistor R7 and capacitor C2 quickly respond to the phase curve of the output to obtain a more stable voltage. Transistors MP11 and HVMP12 mirror the branch currents of transistors MP1 and HVMP2. Output circuit 4 generates a fixed voltage, which is then divided by resistors R4 and R5 to obtain a floating ground voltage with a fixed voltage difference of 5V from the power supply terminal PVDD. Capacitor C2, resistor R7, transistors HVMN10, MN8, HVMP6, resistor R5, and transistor MN13 form a negative feedback loop. Transistors MN13, HVMN14, and HVMP12 form a fast response path, enabling rapid adjustment of the output floating ground voltage in response to changes in external load.

[0057] In this embodiment, the first input terminal of the operational amplifier circuit is connected to the reference voltage of the bias circuit, and the second input terminal is connected to the feedback voltage output terminal of the output circuit, forming a negative feedback loop to stabilize the output floating ground voltage. At the same time, it makes the floating ground voltage proportional to the reference voltage, resulting in an output floating ground voltage that is almost unaffected by temperature, process, or voltage.

[0058] The high-precision floating ground voltage generation circuit of this embodiment was designed and simulated using the Spectre process model. The simulation results of the traditional floating ground voltage generation circuit under the following conditions are as follows: temperature range -40 to 125°C, power supply voltage range 7V to 25V, and full process angle. Figure 3 As shown, the typical value is 5.14V, the maximum voltage is 6.29V, and the deviation from the typical value is 1.15V; the minimum voltage is 4.16V, and the deviation from the typical value is 0.98V.

[0059] The high-precision floating ground voltage generation circuit of this embodiment, under simulation results in the temperature range of -40 to 125°C, power supply voltage range of 7V to 25V, and across the entire process angle, is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the typical value is 5.2V, the maximum voltage is 5.37V, and the deviation from the typical value is 0.17V; the minimum voltage is 5V, and the deviation from the typical value is 0.21V.

[0060] Under the conditions of 12V voltage, 27℃ temperature, process angle tt, and square wave signal period of 4µs, the simulation comparison results of the high-precision floating ground voltage generation circuit of this embodiment and the traditional floating ground voltage generation circuit in the drive circuit system are as follows: Figure 5 As shown, the black curve is the PPVDD-FGND voltage curve output by the floating ground voltage generation circuit, and the gray curve is the PPVDD-FGND output voltage curve of the circuit in this embodiment. It can be seen that the response speed of the high-precision floating ground voltage generation circuit in this embodiment is 441.77ns faster than that of the traditional floating ground voltage generation circuit.

[0061] As can be seen from the simulation results above, the voltage deviation of the high-precision floating ground voltage generation circuit in this embodiment is about 5 times smaller than that of the traditional floating ground voltage generation circuit under all process angles, which can effectively improve the accuracy of the floating ground voltage. In the simulation of the drive system, the high-precision floating ground voltage generation circuit in this embodiment has a faster response speed than the traditional floating ground voltage generation circuit, which enables the output floating ground voltage FGND to quickly return to the steady state value.
