Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the field of electronic circuits and relates to a double feedback control circuit for reliable triggering of a TVS. BACKGROUND

[0002] A triggered vacuum switch (TVS) is a kind of vacuum switch developed on the basis of a vacuum gap and a triggered spark gap technology, and is used in a capacitor energy storage discharge system, a closed switch in a pulsed power field, an electromagnetic emission field and the like. Such working conditions are usually high voltage and large current, and the TVS is required to be capable of fast conduction and shutdown and high current passing capacity. The basic structure of the TVS includes a ceramic shell, an anode, a cathode and a trigger electrode. The anode and the cathode are referred to as main electrodes and function to conduct large current. The trigger electrode functions to provide initial plasma for a discharge channel between the main electrodes. The plasma rapidly spreads throughout the vacuum gap under the action of an electric field between the main electrodes, so as to realize conduction of the TVS. According to different triggering principles, the trigger of the TVS mainly has several modes such as passive freewheeling, active freewheeling and capacitor direct discharge, and the ultimate goal is to generate a high-voltage trigger pulse.

[0003] Due to manufacturing errors of the vacuum tube or after experiencing multiple conduction, the trigger voltages experienced by vacuum tubes of the same model and the same batch will also differ. The use of a multi-channel synchronous triggering mode can improve the conduction probability of the vacuum tube, but causes complex hardware circuit design. In a high-voltage and large-current working environment, the complex circuit design will cause unpredictable risks and increase design costs.

[0004] Therefore, it is urgent to design an adjustable trigger pulse voltage control circuit. The conduction state of the TVS is detected in real time through a feedback circuit, a state signal is fed back to a field programmable logic gate array (FPGA) for logical operation processing, a voltage regulating port of a high-voltage direct-current voltage regulating module is controlled, so as to realize adjustment of the trigger pulse voltage. Meanwhile, the conduction state of a silicon carbide MOSFET is detected in real time through a feedback signal of a trigger circuit. The FPGA reads the feedback signal of the trigger circuit and the TVS conduction signal in real time, and judges whether the pulse signal is repeatedly sent according to a pre-set logical state.
