DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described in the description of the embodiments of the present application in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. In the description of the present application, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise" and the like indicate the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the devices or elements indicated must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present application. In addition, the terms "first", "second" are only for the purpose of description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the technical features indicated. Therefore, the features limited by "first", "second" can be explicitly or implicitly included one or more of the features. In the description of the present application, the meaning of "multiple" is two or more, unless otherwise specifically limited.

[0031] Applicants note that some existing product solutions, such as isolation drive chips such as ucc21750 and NSD6611, charge the DESAT PIN through a current mirror, and the accuracy is related to the DESAT voltage and the DESAT threshold voltage. When the IGBT used in the chip is turned on, it is generally in the saturation region, i.e. the VCE voltage is less than the VBE voltage. If the IGBT current is too large, the VCE voltage will be greater than the VBE voltage, and the IGBT will exit the saturation region and enter the amplification region, i.e. DESAT. At this time, the VCE voltage of the IGBT will rise sharply, which may cause overheating damage. The DESAT charging current generally varies with the DESAT voltage. If there are multiple gears for DESAT, the current will also vary nonlinearly with each gear, making it difficult to predict the DESAT protection time. For example, the DESAT charging current I DEAT0 = 200uA, and the divided voltage is generally small in order to reduce the delay, such as 50K. When the DESAT voltage is 1V, the current flowing through the voltage dividing resistor is 20uA; when the DESAT voltage is 6V, the current flowing through the voltage dividing resistor is 120uA, and the actual charging current I DEAT1 = I DESAT0 -IRdiv = 80uA-180uA, with a large deviation. At the same time, the prior art cannot determine the speed of turning off the IGBT according to the DESAT voltage, so that the chip cannot provide effective protection when the current is rapidly overcurrent.
