[0040] Therefore, the above-mentioned RF driving circuit 10 in the present application provides sufficient driving current for at least one RF transistor through two Class D circuits by setting a Class D circuit composed of a first switch Q1 and a second switch Q2 and another Class D circuit composed of a third switch Q3 and a fourth switch Q4.
[0041] In one or more embodiments, the first switch Q1, the second switch Q2, the third switch Q3, and the fourth switch Q4 may all be N-type or P-type power field effect transistors (Metal Oxide Semiconductor FET, MOSFET), insulated gate bipolar transistors (Insulate-Gate Bipolar Transistor, IGBT) or other controllable switch devices, etc. Generally speaking, in high-frequency and high-power application scenarios, the first switch Q1, the second switch Q2, the third switch Q3, and the fourth switch Q4 may all be N-type MOSFET.
[0042] like Figure 3 As shown, the first switch unit 300 further includes a first inductor L1 and a first capacitor C1, which are connected in series at both ends of the second switch Q2, wherein the resonant frequency of the parasitic capacitance of the first inductor L1 and the first switch Q1 or the parasitic capacitance of the first inductor L1 and the second switch Q2 is greater than the switching frequency of the first switch Q1, the second switch Q2, the third switch Q3 and the fourth switch Q4; the second switch unit 400 further includes a second inductor L2 and a second capacitor C2, which are connected in series at both ends of the fourth switch Q4, wherein the resonant frequency of the parasitic capacitance of the second inductor L2 and the third switch Q3 or the parasitic capacitance of the second inductor L2 and the fourth switch Q4 is greater than the switching frequency of the first switch Q1, the second switch Q2, the third switch Q3 and the fourth switch Q4.
[0043] Therefore, in the above-mentioned RF driving circuit 10 in the present application, the resonant frequency of the parasitic capacitance of the first inductor L1 and the first switch Q1 or the resonant frequency of the parasitic capacitance of the first inductor L1 and the second switch Q2 is greater than the switching frequency of the first switch Q1, the second switch Q2, the third switch Q3 and the fourth switch Q4.

[0044] In one or more embodiments, the capacitance values of the first capacitor C1 and the second capacitor C2 are relatively large, that is, the resonant frequency of the first inductor L1 and the first capacitor C1 is lower than the switching frequency of the first switch Q1, the second switch Q2, the third switch Q3 and the fourth switch Q4, and the resonant frequency of the second inductor L2 and the second capacitor C2 is lower than the switching frequency of the first switch Q1, the second switch Q2, the third switch Q3 and the fourth switch Q4.
[0045] In particular, it is difficult to achieve ZVS in a Class D circuit. By using two Class D circuits and configuring LC resonant branches consisting of inductors and parasitic capacitors for the two Class D circuits respectively, and by setting the resonant frequency of the LC resonant branches, the first switch Q1, the second switch Q2, the third switch Q3, and the fourth switch Q4 can achieve ZVS.

[0047] Therefore, the above-mentioned RF driving circuit 10 in the present application, by setting the coupling unit 500 to include a first transformer 510, can couple the RF driving signal VRF on one side of the first winding W1 to the second winding W2 side, and drive the first RF transistor RFMOS1 in the positive half cycle of the RF driving signal VRF of the AC signal.

In some embodiments, the first dead zone adjustment circuit 600 in the present application can be Figure 5 The structure in is used to obtain the first sub-control signal PWM1 and the second sub-control signal PWM2 for generating the first dead time period. That is, Figure 5 , Figure 6As shown, the first dead zone adjustment unit 610 includes a first input terminal In1, a second input terminal In2 and a first output terminal Out1, the second dead zone adjustment unit 620 includes a third input terminal In3, a fourth input terminal In4 and a second output terminal Out2, the first inverting unit 630 includes a first inverting input terminal In5 and a first inverting output terminal Out3, and the second inverting unit 640 includes a second inverting input terminal In6 and a second inverting output terminal Out4; the first input terminal In1 is used to receive the first pulse width modulation signal P1, and the second input terminal In2 is connected to The first dead zone adjustment unit 610 has a first conduction state and a second conduction state, and the first dead zone adjustment unit 610 has a first conduction state and a second conduction state, and the first dead zone adjustment unit 610 has a first conduction state and a second conduction state, and the first dead zone adjustment unit 610 has a second ... first conduction state and a second conduction state, and the first dead zone adjustment unit 0 is used to alternately be in a first conduction state and a second conduction state according to a first pulse width modulation signal P1 inputted from a first input terminal In1 and a second intermediate pulse width modulation signal Pm2 inputted from a second input terminal In2, so as to obtain a first intermediate pulse width modulation signal Pm1 having a conduction duty ratio greater than that of the first pulse width modulation signal P1, a first inversion unit 630 is used to receive the first intermediate pulse width modulation signal Pm1, and output a first sub-control signal PWM1 which is inverted with the first intermediate pulse width modulation signal Pm1 through an output terminal; a second dead zone adjustment unit 620 has a third conduction state The second dead zone adjustment unit 620 is used to alternately be in the third conduction state and the fourth conduction state according to the second pulse width modulation signal P2 inputted from the third input terminal In3 and the first intermediate pulse width modulation signal Pm1 inputted from the fourth input terminal In4, so as to obtain a second intermediate pulse width modulation signal Pm2 whose conduction duty ratio is greater than the second pulse width modulation signal P2, and the second inverting unit 640 is used to receive the second intermediate pulse width modulation signal Pm2, and output a second sub-control signal PWM2 which is inverted to the second intermediate pulse width modulation signal Pm2 through the output terminal.
[0067] Thus, in the first dead zone adjustment circuit 600 in the present application, when the first dead zone adjustment unit 610 has the first conduction state and the second conduction state, the first dead zone adjustment unit 610 can be alternately in the first conduction state and the second conduction state according to the first pulse width modulation signal P1 inputted by the first input terminal In1 and the second intermediate pulse width modulation signal Pm2 inputted by the second input terminal In2, so as to obtain the first intermediate pulse width modulation signal Pm1 with a conduction duty ratio greater than the first pulse width modulation signal P1, and the second dead zone adjustment unit 620 has the third conduction state and the fourth conduction state, and the second dead zone adjustment unit 620 can be alternately in the third conduction state and the fourth conduction state according to the second pulse width modulation signal P2 inputted by the third input terminal In3 and the first intermediate pulse width modulation signal Pm1 inputted by the fourth input terminal In4, so as to obtain the second intermediate pulse width modulation signal Pm2 with a conduction duty ratio greater than the second pulse width modulation signal P2. The first dead zone adjustment unit 610 and the second dead zone adjustment unit 620 switched by multiple states are conducive to adjusting the first dead zone time period and the conduction duty ratio of the two signals.
[0068] The second pulse width modulation signal P2 complementary to the first pulse width modulation signal P1 can be as follows: Figure 4 From the same signal input terminal as shown, it can also be Figure 5 The signal input terminals shown are from different signal input terminals, but the present application is not limited thereto. It is only necessary that the first pulse width modulation signal P1 and the second pulse width modulation signal P2 are complementary to each other.
[0069] like Figure 6 As shown, any high level time period of one of the first sub-control signal PWM1 and the second pulse width modulation signal P2 is shorter than the corresponding low level time period of the other one of the first sub-control signal PWM1 and the second pulse width modulation signal P2.
[0070] Therefore, in the first dead zone adjustment circuit 600 in the present application, any high level time period of a signal is shorter than the corresponding low level time period of another signal, so as to avoid the high level time periods of the two signals from overlapping and thus causing damage to the related power supply.
[0071] like Figure 6As shown, the first sub-control signal PWM1, which is in phase with the first intermediate pulse width modulation signal Pm1, delays the first time period T1 from switching from a low level to a high level compared to the first pulse width modulation signal P1, and delays the second time period T2 from switching from a high level to a low level, and the second sub-control signal PWM2, which is in phase with the second intermediate pulse width modulation signal Pm2, delays the third time period T3 from switching from a low level to a high level compared to the second pulse width modulation signal P2, and delays the fourth time period T4 from switching from a high level to a low level; wherein the time length of the first time period T1 is greater than the time length of the second time period T2, and the time length of the third time period T3 is greater than the time length of the fourth time period T4.

[0074] Therefore, the first dead zone adjustment circuit 600 in the present application can adjust the first dead zone time periods of the two signals according to the time length of the second sub-time period tb and the time length of the fourth sub-time period td, so as to flexibly control the first dead zone time period to the required time length.
[0075] like Figure 6 As shown, when the first preset relationship is satisfied between the first sub-time period ta, the third sub-time period tc and the duty cycle of the first pulse width modulation signal P1 or the duty cycle of the second pulse width modulation signal P2, the duty cycle of the first sub-control signal PWM1 is the same as the duty cycle of the second sub-control signal PWM2.
[0076] Therefore, the first dead zone adjustment circuit 600 in the present application can obtain the first sub-control signal PWM1 and the second sub-control signal PWM2 with the same conduction duty cycle for the first pulse width modulation signal P1 or the second pulse width modulation signal P2 with any conduction duty cycle when the first preset relationship is satisfied, that is, Figure 6As shown, the on-duty cycle of the first sub-control signal PWM1 is d1, and the on-duty cycle of the second sub-control signal PWM2 is d2, d1=d2, so as to better cooperate with the related power supply to output electric energy normally.
[0077] like Figure 6 As shown, Don is the on-duty cycle of the first pulse width modulation signal P1, Doff is the on-duty cycle of the second pulse width modulation signal P2, that is, the off-duty cycle of the first pulse width modulation signal P1, so that the first preset relationship satisfied between the first sub-time period ta, the third sub-time period tc and the duty cycle of the first pulse width modulation signal P1 or the duty cycle of the second pulse width modulation signal P2 is (Don-Doff) / 2=ta-tc.

[0082] Therefore, the first dead zone adjustment circuit 600 in the present application can increase or decrease the voltage at the corresponding output terminal by coordinating the resistor, diode and capacitor and utilizing the unidirectional conduction characteristics of the diode and the charge and discharge characteristics of the resistor and capacitor.
[0083] It should be noted that the above connection relationship is merely exemplary.
