Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the gate drive circuit of a high-frequency DC transformer, and more specifically to a multi-channel gate drive circuit with dead-time control function. Background Technology
[0002] Switching power supplies are developing towards higher frequency, higher efficiency, and smaller size. However, the increase in switching frequency leads to a continuous increase in gate loss. In converters with switching frequencies reaching MHz, gate drive loss can no longer be ignored. Reducing gate drive loss can improve the efficiency of the converter and promote the progress of switching power supplies towards higher frequency and higher power density.
[0003] Traditional drive circuits obtain energy from a voltage source and charge the power MOSFET through a resistor. When the power MOSFET discharges, it sends energy to ground, failing to recover energy. Therefore, the higher the switching frequency, the more energy is lost at the gate. Resonant gate drive circuits, on the other hand, return energy to the power supply during discharge, achieving energy recovery. Furthermore, the dead time of the drive waveform output by the gate drive circuit is crucial for achieving soft switching in LLC topologies. Therefore, multi-gate drivers with dead-time control are of significant research value in reducing gate losses and achieving soft switching in topologies. Summary of the Invention

[0043] The source of the eighth clamping transistor Q8 is grounded, and its gate is connected to the drain of the seventh clamping transistor Q7, the opposite terminal of the third winding B3, and the first gate equivalent capacitance Cgsr1. Its drain is connected to the same terminal of the third winding B3, the gate of the seventh clamping transistor Q7, and the second gate equivalent capacitance Cgsr2.
[0044] The dead-time control circuit 5 includes a ninth NMOS transistor Q9 and a tenth NMOS transistor Q10 as switching transistors. The drains of the ninth NMOS transistor Q9 and the tenth NMOS transistor Q10 are connected. The gates of the ninth NMOS transistor Q9 and the tenth NMOS transistor Q10 are connected. The source of the ninth NMOS transistor Q9 is connected to the drain of the third clamping transistor Q3, the gate of the fourth clamping transistor Q4, the second capacitor Cg2, the opposite terminal of the first primary winding P1, and the same terminal of the second primary winding P2.

[0045] The first PWM generator PWM1 and the second PWM generator PWM2 control the first PMOS transistor Q1 and the second PMOS transistor Q2, respectively. PWM1 and PWM2 are two signals with a 180-degree phase difference. By changing their duty cycles, a gate drive signal that meets the requirements can be generated. The first PMOS transistor Q1 and the second PMOS transistor Q2 transmit the signal to the multi-winding isolation transformer. The third PWM generator PWM3 controls a dead-time control circuit composed of a switching pair, namely the ninth NMOS transistor Q9 and the tenth NMOS transistor Q10. The dead-time control circuit inserts a dead-time mode when the gate capacitor is fully discharged during the resonance process, thereby changing the dead time of the output gate drive signal.

[0046] like Figure 3 This is the timing waveform diagram of the main driving signals in the invention, including control signals, current and output voltage signals.
[0047] The waveforms of currents I1 and I4 show that energy recovery and utilization are achieved. The dead time intervals between Vgs4 / Vgsr1 and Vgs2 / Vgsr2, and between Vgs1-VHB3 and Vgs3-VHB2, are used to meet the gate drive signal requirements of the LLC full-bridge converter. Meanwhile, the currents I2, I3, I5, I6, and I7 during switching states do not change from zero but have initial values, indicating that this circuit can switch quickly.
[0048] The working process of this invention is as follows:
[0049] like Figure 3 During the period t0-t1, the voltages on the fourth capacitor Cg4, the first capacitor Cg1, and the first gate equivalent capacitance Cgsr1 are at a high level. The third clamping transistor Q3, the sixth clamping transistor Q6, and the eighth clamping transistor Q8 are turned on. The fourth capacitor Cg4, the first capacitor Cg1, the first gate equivalent capacitance Cgsr1, and the excitation inductance of the transformer resonate. The current forms a resonant path through the third clamping transistor Q3, the sixth clamping transistor Q6, and the eighth clamping transistor Q8. During this process, the energy of the gate capacitor is transferred to the resonant inductor, causing the gate voltage to drop and the current flowing through the resonant inductor to rise. At time t1, the gate capacitor discharges to zero.
[0050] During the period t1-t2, the gate voltages of the ninth NMOS transistor Q9 and the tenth NMOS transistor Q10, which are controlled by dead time, are at a high level. The ninth NMOS transistor Q9 and the tenth NMOS transistor Q10 are turned on, which stops the resonance and lengthens the dead time between the output gate drive signals.
[0051] During the period t2-t3, the inductor current cannot change abruptly. The resonant inductor charges the gate capacitances of the fourth clamping transistor Q4, the fifth clamping transistor Q5, and the seventh clamping transistor Q7, as well as the second capacitor Cg2, the third capacitor Cg3, and the second gate equivalent capacitance Cgsr2, until the fourth clamping transistor Q4, the fifth clamping transistor Q5, and the seventh clamping transistor Q7 are turned on. The second capacitor Cg2, the third capacitor Cg3, the second gate equivalent capacitance Cgsr2, and the transformer inductor resonate, forming a circuit. The energy of the resonant inductor is transferred to the capacitors, and the gate voltage continues to rise until the driving transistor is turned on.
[0052] During the period t3-t4, the current flows through the body diode of the fourth clamping transistor Q4 and the first PMOS transistor Q1 to the power source, realizing energy recovery. Before the inductor current decreases to zero, it continues to flow into the current source.
[0053] During the period t4-t5, the first PMOS transistor Q1 and the fourth clamping transistor Q4 are turned on, the power supply is used to excite the magnetizing inductor, and the current direction is opposite to that during the period t3-t4, thus ending the first half of the cycle.
[0054] The resonance and excitation processes during the second half of the cycle, t5-t10, are similar to those during t0-t5, and together they constitute a complete cycle, forming a loop.
[0055] The waveform generated by the above gate drive circuit is adapted to the gate voltage signal of the LLC full-bridge topology.
