Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of semiconductor devices, and in particular to a full gallium nitride integrated half-bridge circuit, chip and electronic device. Background Art

[0002] The third generation semiconductor material gallium nitride has superior properties such as high frequency, high efficiency, high power, high voltage resistance, high temperature resistance, and strong radiation resistance. Compared with silicon devices, gallium nitride power electronic devices have advantages such as higher operating voltage, higher switching frequency, and lower on-resistance. They have great development potential in the fields of new generation high efficiency, small size power conversion and management system, electric locomotives, industrial motors, etc.

[0047] It is understandable that the high level of the gate signal of the power device is determined by the supply voltage of the output rail-to-rail drive. If the supply voltage of the drive is too low, the power device may not be fully turned on and the on-resistance is high. If the supply voltage of the drive is too high, exceeding the gate-source withstand voltage of the power device, it may cause the performance of the device to degrade or even cause the device to break down. The embodiment of the present invention improves the circuit reliability by designing the undervoltage and overvoltage protection circuit 10 to ensure that the supply voltage of the drive circuit is within the normal range.

[0048] In a specific embodiment of the present application, the input reference voltage VREF can be set to 1.5VTH-2VTH, where VTH is the threshold voltage of the enhancement mode gallium nitride transistor, the undervoltage protection point is VREF*(R1+R2+R3) / (R2+R3), and the overvoltage protection point is VREF*(R1+R2+R3) / R3. By adopting a hysteresis comparator, a certain hysteresis voltage is present at the undervoltage protection point and the overvoltage protection point during the power-on and power-off process, thereby ensuring the high reliability of the overall circuit.

[0050] Specifically, the hysteresis of the first hysteresis comparator 14 is caused by the positive feedback introduced by the seventh enhancement-mode gallium nitride transistor Q7 and the eighth enhancement-mode gallium nitride transistor Q8, and the magnitude of the hysteresis voltage can be changed by changing the width-to-length ratio of the sixth enhancement-mode gallium nitride transistor Q6 to the seventh enhancement-mode gallium nitride transistor Q7 and the width-to-length ratio of the tenth enhancement-mode gallium nitride transistor Q10 to the eighth enhancement-mode gallium nitride transistor Q8.

[0053] It should be noted that the structure of the third hysteresis comparator 25 is the same as that of the first hysteresis comparator 14 , and the details may refer to the related description of the first hysteresis comparator 14 .

[0054] It is understandable that the full gallium nitride integrated half-bridge circuit 100 generally operates at a relatively high frequency. When the switch is switched, the parasitic inductance and capacitance in the circuit will cause the power device to be mistakenly turned on, so that the power circuit generates a large current due to the upper and lower connections, or when the load is short-circuited, the power circuit will also generate a large current. The large current in the circuit will not only generate a large amount of power loss, but also damage the power device, affecting the normal operation of the circuit, or even damage it. Therefore, in this embodiment, an overcurrent protection circuit 20 is designed to detect the size of the power circuit current through current replication, and then convert the current signal into a voltage signal and compare it with the reference voltage to generate a detection signal. When the highway loop has a large current, the detection signal will flip from a high level to a low level, and the current burrs in the switch switching process will be eliminated through the blanking circuit, and finally a stable shutdown signal (OVP) will be generated to the drive circuit, thereby controlling the shutdown of the power device.

[0058] It can be understood that, since the size of the high-side GaN transistor 80 and the low-side GaN transistor 90 is very large, the parasitic capacitance of the gate terminal is also very large. If the input signal has no dead time, even if it is a complementary signal, due to the delay of the circuit and the delay caused by the large capacitance of the gate terminal, the high-side GaN transistor 80 and the low-side GaN transistor 90 will be turned on at the same time. The high and low-side GaN transistors 90 will be connected up and down to generate a large current, thereby burning the power device. Therefore, in this embodiment, a dead time generating circuit 30 is designed, so that the gate signals reaching the high-side GaN transistor 80 and the low-side GaN transistor 90 have a certain dead time, ensuring that the high-side GaN transistor 80 and the low-side GaN transistor 90 are not turned on at the same time and connected up and down to cause the device to burn, thereby improving the stability of the circuit.

[0062] It is understandable that the half-bridge circuit working at a high frequency is prone to erroneous opening or shutting down of the high-side power device due to the oscillation generated by the parasitic inductance and capacitance, which seriously affects the stability of the half-bridge circuit.

The drain of the GaN transistor Q36 is connected to the bootstrap voltage terminal; the source of the thirty-third enhancement-mode GaN transistor Q33 is connected to the first end of the nineteenth resistor R19 and the first end of the first capacitor C1; the source of the thirty-fourth enhancement-mode GaN transistor Q34 is connected to the first end of the twentieth resistor R20 and the first end of the second capacitor C2; the second end of the nineteenth resistor R19 is connected to the gate of the thirty-fifth enhancement-mode GaN transistor Q35 and the drain of the thirty-eighth enhancement-mode GaN transistor Q38; the second end of the first capacitor C1 is connected to the source of the thirty-fifth enhancement-mode GaN transistor Q35 , the drain of the thirty-ninth enhancement mode gallium nitride transistor Q39, the gate of the thirty-seventh enhancement mode gallium nitride transistor Q37, the gate of the fortieth enhancement mode gallium nitride transistor Q40 and the gate of the forty-first enhancement mode gallium nitride transistor Q41; the second end of the twentieth resistor R20 is connected to the drain of the fortieth enhancement mode gallium nitride transistor Q40 and the gate of the thirty-sixth enhancement mode gallium nitride transistor Q36, and the second end of the second capacitor C2 is connected to the source of the thirty-sixth enhancement mode gallium nitride transistor Q36, the drain of the forty-first enhancement mode gallium nitride transistor Q41 and the output end of the high-side drive circuit 60;The source of the thirty-seventh enhancement-mode gallium nitride transistor Q37, the source of the thirty-eighth enhancement-mode gallium nitride transistor Q38, the source of the thirty-ninth enhancement-mode gallium nitride transistor Q39, the source of the fortieth enhancement-mode gallium nitride transistor Q40, and the source of the forty-first enhancement-mode gallium nitride transistor Q41 are connected to the switch node of the half-bridge circuit. ;

[0064] It should be noted that, due to the lack of p-type gallium nitride devices in the current gallium nitride process, the pull-up of the inverter can only use a resistor. If an inverter chain drive is used, it will generate large power consumption and delay, and it is also impossible to output the drive signal rail-to-rail. Therefore, in this embodiment, the drive circuit feedback stage plus two-stage bootstrap drive stage are used. The bootstrap drive stage can output the drive signal rail-to-rail while having lower power consumption and delay. The feedback stage further reduces the delay of the circuit through positive feedback.

[0065] In a specific embodiment of the present application, for the bootstrap driving stage, when the input signal is at a high level, the thirty-eighth enhancement-type gallium nitride transistor 4Q38 and the thirty-ninth enhancement-type gallium nitride transistor Q39 are turned on, the thirty-fifth enhancement-type gallium nitride transistor Q35 is turned off, and the upper plate of the first capacitor C1 is charged to the power supply voltage VCC. When the input signal changes to a low level, the thirty-eighth enhancement-type gallium nitride transistor Q38 and the thirty-ninth enhancement-type gallium nitride transistor Q39 are turned off, the thirty-fifth enhancement-type gallium nitride transistor Q35 is turned on, and when the thirty-fifth enhancement-type gallium nitride transistor Q3 5 becomes VCC, due to the characteristic that the voltage across the capacitor cannot change suddenly, the source voltage of the thirty-third enhancement-mode gallium nitride transistor Q33 becomes VCC+VCC-VD=2VCC-VD, where VD is the on-voltage of the thirty-third enhancement-mode gallium nitride crystal Q33 connected in the form of a diode, so that the gate voltage of the thirty-fifth enhancement-mode gallium nitride crystal Q35 is greater than the source voltage VCC-VD, which can ensure that the thirty-fifth enhancement-mode gallium nitride crystal Q35 is normally turned on and the drive can output rail-to-rail. The feedback stage can make the drive circuit have a lower transmission delay.
