Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of high-voltage integrated circuits, and in particular to a high-voltage integrated circuit with transient suppression. Background Art

[0002] High voltage integrated circuit, or HVIC, is an integrated circuit product that converts MCU signals into driving IGBT or MOS signals. HVIC integrates PMOS tubes, NMOS tubes, triodes, diodes, voltage regulator tubes, resistors, and capacitors to form Schmitt, low voltage level, high voltage level, pulse generation circuit, delay circuit, filter circuit, overcurrent protection circuit, overheat protection circuit, undervoltage protection circuit, bootstrap circuit and other circuits. The single pulse GEN circuit in the high-side drive circuit of the existing HVIC generates pulses at the rising and falling edges of the HIN signal to drive DMOS. The pulse width is generally several hundred nanoseconds, so that HIN corresponds to HO.

[0003] In the existing HVIC, transient dVs / dt noise will affect the normal working process of the low-voltage to high-voltage conversion inside the power device driver chip (HVIC), causing failure states such as latch-on and latch-off on the high-voltage side. When the OFF_PLUSE / RESET and ON_PLUSE / SET of the pulse circuit generate low levels respectively, VOUT generates logic 0 and logic 1 signals respectively; and when VS suddenly changes, due to the existence of parasitic capacitance, I = C*dvs / dt, so that current is generated on both sides of ON_PLUSE / SET and OFF_PLUSE / RESET at the same time, resulting in low levels on both sides at the same time; this state directly causes the high-voltage side output to be turned on by mistake, and remains at a high level after latching, which is extremely harmful. If the low-voltage side tube is turned on, it will directly lead to direct conduction.

[0004] Therefore, the working state of the above-mentioned high-voltage integrated circuit directly causes the high-voltage side output to be mistakenly turned on, and it remains in a high-level state after being latched, which is extremely harmful.

[0027] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0028] Combined with Figure 1-Figure 4As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a high-voltage integrated circuit with transient suppression, comprising: an HVIC driving circuit 100, a pulse circuit 0107, a level shift circuit 2, a transient suppression circuit 3 and an RS trigger 0115 electrically connected in sequence; the input end of the HVIC driving circuit 100 is used to connect to a power supply VCC, and the output end of the RS trigger 0115 is used to output a driving signal. By outputting the driving signal to the output circuit 0116, it is convenient to drive an external device.

[0029] The transient suppression circuit 3 includes a first transient suppression circuit 31 and a second transient suppression circuit 32. The pulse circuit 0107 is used to output a first pulse signal and a second pulse signal to the level shift circuit 2 through a rising edge pulse (SET / G1) and a falling edge pulse (SET / G1), respectively. The first pulse signal is output to the input end of the first transient suppression circuit 31 and the input end of the second transient suppression circuit 32 through the level shift circuit 2. The output end of the first transient suppression circuit 31 is connected to the R end of the RS trigger 0115, and the output end of the second transient suppression circuit 32 is connected to the S end of the RS trigger 0115. By adding a corresponding transient suppression (pulse filtering) circuit after the level shift circuit 2, it is prevented that when VS suddenly changes, due to the existence of parasitic capacitance, I=C*dvs / dt, current is generated on both sides of ON_PLUSE / SET and OFF_PLUSE / RESET at the same time, resulting in low levels on both sides at the same time; so as to improve the reliability and market competitiveness of the HVIC chip.

[0030] In this embodiment, HIN and LIN input drive signals, through the circuit in the HVIC drive circuit, sequentially pass through the RC filter 0102, the Schmitt circuit 0103, the filter 0104, the level conversion circuit 0105, the dead zone interlock circuit 0106 and output HINa pulse signal, the pulse circuit GEN 0107 outputs ON_PLUSE / SET and OFF_PLUSE / RESET short pulse signals respectively through the rising edge and falling edge of the HINa pulse signal to drive UVWQ1 and UVWQ2 high-voltage LDMOS, the high-voltage LDMOS conduction and shutdown trigger RS ​​trigger 0115005 to output pulse signals, control HO to output drive pulse signals; output LINa pulse signals, through the RC delay circuit 0108 and the AND gate 0117, control LO to output drive pulse signals. The output of the drive signals HO and LO are protected by the undervoltage protection circuit 0110, the temperature protection circuit 0111, the current protection ITRIP circuit 0112, and the fault logic circuit 0113. The bootstrap circuit 0109 provides bootstrap voltage to HO. The fault output circuit 0114 outputs a fault signal.

[0031] In this embodiment, the level shift circuit 2 includes a first resistor R1, a first transistor Q1, a second resistor R2 and a second transistor Q2; the gate of the first transistor Q1 is used as a first input end of the level shift circuit 2 to connect the rising edge pulse, the gate of the second transistor Q2 is used as a second input end of the level shift circuit 2 to connect the falling edge pulse, the source of the first transistor Q1 is connected to the source of the second transistor Q2 and is grounded together; the drain of the first transistor Q1 is connected to the first end of the first resistor R1, the drain of the second transistor Q2 is connected to the first end of the second resistor R2, and the second end of the first resistor R1 is connected to the second end of the second resistor R2; the drain of the first transistor Q1 is also connected to the input end of the first transient suppression circuit 31 as the first output end of the level shift circuit 2, and the drain of the second transistor Q2 is also connected to the input end of the first transient suppression circuit 31 as the second output end of the level shift circuit 2.

[0032] In this embodiment, both the first transistor Q1 and the second transistor Q2 are LDMOS transistors.

[0033] Specifically, when the above dVs / dt noise is coupled to the VCCA port through the capacitor, its influence on the level shift circuit 2 is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, if the voltage at the VCCA end rises, a voltage-resistant device must be required between VCCA and ground, and LDMOS undertakes all the voltage-resistant tasks. Therefore, as the VCCA voltage rises, the voltage at the drain end of LDMOS will inevitably rise. During this process, a displacement current will flow through the load resistors R1 and R2 to charge the drain-source capacitance of LDMOS. The dVs / dt noise intensity at the VCCA end determines the size of the displacement currents I1 and I2, as shown in the formula:

[0034] I1=I2=C DS *dvcc / dt;

[0035] Among them C DS is the drain-source capacitance of LDMOS.

[0036] Parasitic C DS The size of the capacitor is greatly affected by the process. When the C of Q1 and Q2 of the high-voltage level shift circuit 2 is DS When the capacitance varies greatly due to process deviation, I1 will not be equal to I2, which will affect the voltage drop across R1 and R2.

[0037] V R1 =I1*R1=C DS Q1 *d VCCA / dt*R1;

[0038] V R2 =I2*R2=C DS Q2 *d VCCA / dt*R2;

[0039] The size of VR1 and VR2 will directly affect the operation of the subsequent RS flip-flop 0115. When VR1 and VR2 are lower than the response threshold of the subsequent RS flip-flop 0115, the output of the entire chip will be affected.

[0068] When the falling - edge pulse of the SET narrow pulse output by the pulse circuit appears, Figure 3 The transient - response expression of the voltage at point A is as follows:

[0069] V A (t)=V A (0)e -t / + = V A (∞)*(1 - e -t / ) ;

[0070] During charging, its expression can be rewritten as:

[0071] V A (t)=(VCCA - VS)*(1 - e -t / Req(pmos).C ) ;

[0072] Where Req(PMOS) is the equivalent on - resistance of PMOS PM2.

[0073] During discharging, its expression is as follows:

[0074] V A (t)=(VCCA - VS)*e -t / ((Req(NMOS)+R).C) ;

[0075] Where Req(NMOS) represents the equivalent on - resistance of NMOS NMN. It is assumed that Req(PMOS)<<R and Req(NMOS)<<R. Therefore, the falling time of VA is much greater than the rising time of VA, so that the time t for VA to drop to the reverse threshold voltage VL of the Schmitt trigger becomes longer. This time t corresponds to the effective filtering time length (instantaneous noise width) of the pulse - filtering circuit as follows:

[0076] t=(R eq(NMOS) +R)*C*ln((VCCA - VS) / V L )≈R*C*ln((VCCA - VS) / V L ) ;

[0077] At the same time, this filtering - time width t also corresponds to the delay generated by the pulse - filtering circuit, as Figure 4 shown. Where t1 to t2 correspond to the time length of the noise signal, and t3 to t6 correspond to the time length of the valid signal (detecting the rising - edge / falling - edge pulse signal). Figure 4 In the figure, the waveforms of A, B and OUT correspond to the signals in two cases respectively. The dotted lines represent the signal waveforms of each point when the RC filter width is small, and the solid lines represent the signal waveforms of each point when the filter width is large. The following first analyzes the waveforms of the noise signal area. For the case of a small filter width ( Figure 4 EST represents the input of the RC filter circuit. A noise signal is generated in the noise area. Due to the small filter width, the voltage at point A will still drop below the Schmitt reverse threshold VL. Therefore, the output of the Schmitt trigger 0115 at point B will generate a positive pulse signal. Finally, after being shaped by the inverter, it is output to the input of the RS trigger 0115, which affects the entire chip. For the case where the filter width is large ( Figure 4 The solid line waveform in the figure shows that during the time t1 to t2 when the noise signal exists, the voltage at point A cannot drop below the reverse threshold VL of the Schmitt trigger 0115. Therefore, the Schmitt trigger 0115 does not flip, and the OUT point does not output a noise waveform, and the noise signal is filtered out. The effective signal area corresponds to the time period t3 to t6, and the pulse filter circuit will introduce additional delay. For the case where the filter width is small ( Figure 4 The waveform at point A drops rapidly, and the signal delay time is between t3 and t4. However, for the case where the filter width is larger ( Figure 4 The waveform at point A decreases very slowly, and the corresponding delay time is from t3 to t5.

[0078] In summary, the larger the filter width of the noise signal, the easier it is to filter out the noise signal. The minimum filter width of the transient noise suppression circuit (pulse filter circuit) must meet the following two conditions: First, the filter width must be smaller than the width of the effective signal during normal operation to ensure that the effective signal will not be filtered out and can trigger the subsequent RS trigger 0115. Second, the filter width must be larger than the maximum width of the noise signal to ensure that the noise signal is completely filtered out.

[0079] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0080] Add a corresponding transient dV / dt suppression (pulse filtering) circuit after the level shift circuit 2 to prevent the current from being generated on both sides of ON_PLUSE / SET and OFF_PLUSE / RESET at the same time due to the existence of parasitic capacitance, I=C*dvs / dt, when VS suddenly changes. This will cause the high-voltage side output to be turned on by mistake, and it will remain at a high level after being latched, which is extremely harmful. If the low-voltage side tube is turned on, it will directly cause the problem of direct conduction. This will improve the reliability of the HVIC chip and its market competitiveness.
