Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a driving signal coupling circuit suitable for a satellite-borne power converter, suitable for various series of satellite-borne power converters, and belongs to the field of space satellite-borne power supplies. Background Art

[0002] At present, the power supply system in the field of space-borne power supply is equipped with power converters. As the intermediate control hub of the energy transmission of the whole satellite, it is responsible for coordinating the work between the load and the battery pack during the whole satellite's orbit. According to the power supply voltage requirements of the whole satellite, the chemical energy of the battery pack is converted into bus voltage with different voltage requirements through the power converter for the use of the whole satellite load. Due to different usage requirements, the power converter usually adopts the buck or boost circuit topology. The conversion circuit is generally built with analog circuits. The components used mainly include: resistors, capacitors, pulse width modulation chips, gate circuits, operational amplifiers, comparators, magnetic devices, etc. Due to the extremely harsh space radiation environment and the randomness and complexity of the radiation conditions, the gate circuit chips (such as OR gates, AND gates, triggers, etc.) used in the power converter circuit are subject to great damage risks. The power converter function fails due to single particle damage (such as chip lock, flip-flop), resulting in abnormal operation of the whole satellite power supply system and damage to the spacecraft equipment, thus causing irreparable losses. Therefore, a reliable and reliable power converter space environment adaptability design provides a strong guarantee for the safe operation of space-borne spacecraft.

[0003] Some existing onboard power systems are equipped with onboard power converters, especially the converter circuits that require single modulator drive all adopt the form of drive signal coupling circuits. This circuit uses an "OR gate" integrated circuit to realize the coupling function of the drive signal. For example, the "OR gate" integrated chip CC4071 is used. This chip can realize the coupling of complementary drive pulses produced by the drive signal generator and provide drive signals for the back-end drive circuit. The drive signal coupling circuit using the "OR gate" function integrated circuit uses a small number of components, and only one OR gate integrated chip is needed to realize the complementary drive pulse coupling function. Since the integrated circuit is made using CMOS integration technology, it is easy to be affected by single particle impact (such as chip locking and flipping) in a complex space environment, causing the power converter circuit to fail.
