Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of automotive electronics new energy vehicle technology DCDC control, and particularly to an overvoltage and undervoltage module fault detection circuit and detection method for a DCDC converter. Background Art

[0002] In new energy vehicles, a DCDC converter can convert the high-voltage direct current of a power battery into low-voltage direct current to supply power to a first battery and a load. The functions of the overvoltage shutdown module and the undervoltage shutdown module in the DCDC converter are to protect the power supply network from the following hazards: 1. Unintended overvoltage output of the DCDC converter causes the voltage of the vehicle's 12V power supply network to be too high unexpectedly, resulting in damage to electrical appliances; 2. Internal short circuit and unintended undervoltage output in the DCDC cause undervoltage of the first battery and the vehicle's 12V power supply network or loss of DCDC power output.

[0003] Therefore, when the vehicle is powered on, it is necessary to detect the overvoltage shutdown module and the undervoltage shutdown module of the DCDC converter to verify whether the overvoltage shutdown module and the undervoltage shutdown module are short-circuited and open-circuited. To avoid the failure of the shutdown path due to the failure of the overvoltage shutdown module and the undervoltage shutdown module when over- and under-voltage hazards occur. This design can effectively improve the diagnostic coverage of latent faults of the DCDC overvoltage shutdown module and the undervoltage shutdown module.

[0004] Currently, there are two conventional methods in the industry for testing the short-circuit and open-circuit failure modes in the overvoltage shutdown module and the undervoltage shutdown module of a DCDC converter: The first is to back up and redundant the overvoltage shutdown module and the undervoltage shutdown module. This solution can meet the functional safety design with a corresponding safety target level of ASIL B, ASIL C, or ASIL D. However, this design solution will also increase the cost of hardware design and the difficulty of PCB board space layout. The second is high-voltage power-on self-check. By using the high voltage of the vehicle's DC bus, a voltage difference is formed before and after the overvoltage shutdown module and the undervoltage shutdown module, so as to detect the latent faults of the overvoltage shutdown module and the undervoltage shutdown module. This solution will extend the DCDC initialization time, resulting in too long vehicle power-on time and causing driver complaints.

[0005] Therefore, designing an accurate and efficient overvoltage and undervoltage module fault detection circuit and detection method is an urgent technical problem in the industry. Summary of the Invention

The processing unit controls the on / off of the switches in the overvoltage shutdown module and the undervoltage shutdown module, detects the voltages at each detection point, and determines whether the overvoltage shutdown module and the undervoltage shutdown module are normal according to the detected voltages.

[0008] The detection circuit further includes a buck module and a detection switch.
