[0062] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the following will further describe the embodiments of the present application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0063] As Figure 2 shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a current sampling circuit based on a gallium nitride power transistor. The current sampling circuit includes an upper transistor sampling circuit 210 and a lower transistor sampling circuit 220. The upper transistor sampling circuit 210 is used to sample the current of the upper transistor M T in the high-voltage switching power supply, and the lower transistor sampling circuit 220 is used to sample the current of the lower transistor M B in the high-voltage switching power supply.
[0064] In this embodiment, the upper transistor M T and the lower transistor M B are gallium nitride power transistors. Silicon sampling transistors are used in the sampling circuit. However, there is a problem of mismatch between the on-resistance of the silicon sampling transistor and the on-resistance of the gallium nitride power transistor at different temperatures. Therefore, temperature compensation is required to ensure that the ratio of the on-resistances of the silicon sampling transistor and the upper and lower transistors remains consistent within different temperature ranges.
[0065] Specifically, a resistor compensation array can be used to match the on-resistances of the silicon sampling tube and the gallium nitride power tube. The resistor compensation array is composed of resistors with positive temperature coefficients and resistors with negative temperature coefficients connected in series. As Figure 3 shown, R PT1 , R PT2 , R PT3 , R PT4 and R PT5 represent resistors with positive temperature coefficients, and R NT1 , R NT2 , R NT3 , R NT4 and R NT5 represent resistors with negative temperature coefficients. Of course, in actual use, the number of resistors can be set according to actual requirements, which is not limited here.
[0066] When the resistor compensation matrix is used for the first time, it needs to be calibrated. Specifically, when the temperature curve slope of the on-resistance of the silicon sampling tube is greater than the temperature curve slope of the on-resistance of the gallium nitride power tube, we will burn out the fuse of the resistor with a negative temperature coefficient so that the resistor is connected to the sampling circuit. Similarly, when the temperature curve slope of the on-resistance of the silicon sampling tube is less than the temperature curve slope of the on-resistance of the gallium nitride power tube, we will burn out the fuse of the resistor with a positive temperature coefficient so that the resistor is connected to the sampling circuit. After calibration, the resistors connected to the sampling circuit in the resistor compensation matrix are fixed, and the resistor compensation matrix does not need to be adjusted when the sampling circuit is used subsequently.
[0067] As Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, in the calibrated sampling circuit, the upper tube sampling circuit 210 includes a first temperature compensation module 211, a first negative feedback module 212, a first current mirror module 213, and a sampling module 214 connected in sequence; the first temperature compensation module 211 includes a connected first silicon sampling upper tube M SH1 and a first upper sampling tube resistor compensation array, and a connected first silicon sampling lower tube M SH2 and a first lower sampling tube resistor compensation array.

[0068] Upper tube MT When conducting, when the current flows from V IN to V SW (the direction of the current I MT is positive), the first temperature compensation module 211 is used to control V in the first negative feedback module 212 A =V B such that the first silicon sampling lower transistor M SH2 and the first lower sampling transistor resistance compensation array flow through a forward current I proportional to the sampling current I T of the upper transistor M MT , or, when the current flows from V SHP to V SW (the direction of the current I IN is negative), by controlling V in the first negative feedback module 212 MT =V A such that the first silicon sampling upper transistor M B and the first upper sampling transistor resistance compensation array flow through a negative current I proportional to the sampling current I SH1 of the upper transistor M T ; the first current mirror module 213 is used to mirror and output the forward current I MT or the negative current I SHN to the sampling resistor R in the sampling module 214 SHP ; the sampling module 214 is used to calculate the sampling current I of the upper transistor M SHN according to the forward current I SNS or the negative current I SHP ; SHN . T MT .
[0069] As shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7 , in the calibrated sampling circuit, the lower transistor sampling circuit 220 includes a second temperature compensation module 221, a second negative feedback module 222, a second current mirror module 223, and a sampling module 214 connected in sequence; the second temperature compensation module 221 includes a second silicon sampling upper transistor M SH3 and a second upper sampling transistor resistance compensation array, and, a second silicon sampling lower transistor M SH4 and a second lower sampling transistor resistance compensation array connected, the second upper sampling transistor resistance compensation array and the second lower sampling transistor resistance compensation array are negative temperature coefficient and / or positive temperature coefficient resistance arrays, and the second upper sampling transistor resistance compensation array and the second lower sampling transistor resistance compensation array are respectively connected to the lower transistor M B to ensure that in different temperature ranges, the on-resistance ratio of the second silicon sampling upper transistor M SH3 and the lower transistor M B remains consistent, and the on-resistance ratio of the second silicon sampling lower transistor M SH4 and the lower transistor MB The on-resistance ratios remain consistent.
[0070] Lower transistor M B When it is turned on, when the current flows from V SW to ground (the direction of the current I MB is positive), the second temperature compensation module 221 is used to control V in the second negative feedback module 222 A =V B so that the second silicon sampling lower transistor M SH4 and the second lower sampling transistor resistance compensation array flow through a forward current I proportional to the sampling current I B of the lower transistor M MB ; or, when the current flows from ground to V SHP (the direction of the current I SW is negative), by controlling V in the second negative feedback module 222 MB =V A =V B so that the second silicon sampling upper transistor M SH3 and the second upper sampling transistor resistance compensation array flow through a negative current I proportional to the sampling current I B of the lower transistor M MB ; the second current mirror module 223 is used to mirror and output the forward current I SHN or the negative current I SHP to the sampling resistor R in the sampling module 214 SHN ; the sampling module 214 is used to calculate the sampling current I SNS of the lower transistor M SHP based on the forward current I SHN or the negative current I B .
