Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a high-efficiency synchronous rectification BUCK circuit based on silicon carbide MOSFET. Background Art

[0002] Existing low-on-resistance systems have gradually evolved from diode rectification to synchronous rectification, introducing low-side MOSFETs. While this reduces conduction losses, it is limited by the physical properties of silicon materials, significantly increasing switching losses at MHz frequencies. Silicon carbide MOSFETs, with their wide bandgap of 2.8eV, can increase the breakdown field strength by a factor of 10, theoretically allowing the device to operate at higher frequencies, helping to reduce the size of passive components (inductors and capacitors) and increase power density. Furthermore, the on-resistance of silicon carbide MOSFETs (e.g., 40mΩ) is much lower than that of silicon-based devices, significantly reducing conduction losses. Furthermore, silicon carbide Schottky diodes have virtually no reverse recovery current, and when used in conjunction with silicon carbide MOSFETs, they can further reduce switching losses and electromagnetic interference (EMI).

[0003] However, despite the obvious theoretical advantages of synchronous rectification technology and silicon carbide MOSFETs, they still face a series of challenges in practical applications:

[0004] 1. Sensitive to drive timing: Silicon carbide MOSFETs have stringent requirements on gate drive circuits and timing. Existing drive solutions are easily affected by parasitic parameters at high frequencies, resulting in drive signal distortion.

[0005] 2. Dead time contradiction: Under high-frequency conditions, the switching speed of silicon carbide MOSFETs increases, shortening the turn-on / off time to tens of nanoseconds. However, the influence of parasitic parameters also increases, which may cause drive signal distortion. If the dead time is too long, it will increase losses; if the dead time is too short, the risk of shoot-through between the upper and lower transistors increases, which may cause current spikes and damage the device.

[0006] 3. Insufficient protection reliability: Overcurrent protection is a core function that ensures safe system operation, extends device life, and meets industry compliance. Since SiC MOSFETs typically have a lower on-resistance (Rds(on)) and a different temperature coefficient than silicon devices, accurate and reliable overcurrent protection is a pressing issue.

[0007] 4. Light-load efficiency degradation: In a synchronous rectifier buck circuit, when the inductor current IL drops to zero during the freewheeling phase, if the synchronous rectifier (low-side silicon carbide MOSFET) is not turned off in time, current will flow in the reverse direction (from the output to the input), resulting in additional losses. Improving circuit efficiency at light loads is also a challenge in practical applications. Summary of the Invention

[0052] (1) Real-time acquisition of switching frequency fsw and device junction temperature Tj ;

[0053] (2) According to the preset frequency-temperature mapping curve, the optimal dead time (t dead ), ensuring that:

[0055] Where: t off HS is the high-voltage side tube shut-off time, t on LS is the opening time of the low-pressure side pipe, t delay driver is the transmission delay of the driving circuit;

[0056] (3) Ensure that the dead time is shortened under high-frequency conditions to reduce conduction losses, and that the dead time is extended under low-frequency or high-temperature conditions to avoid the risk of shoot-through.

[0057] The dead time t of the adaptive dead time adjustment unit dead The following relationship is satisfied:

[0058]

[0059] Where: k1 is the frequency-related coefficient, k2 is the temperature compensation coefficient, k3 is the minimum dead time reference, and Tj is the device junction temperature.

[0060] The structural diagram of the present invention is as follows Figure 1 As shown, it consists of a digital controller, a silicon carbide MOSFET drive unit, a DC / DC conversion unit, a SW node zero-crossing detection unit, an overcurrent protection unit, an adaptive dead time adjustment unit, a feedback and compensation network unit, and a frequency adjustment unit.

[0061] The DC / DC converter unit consists of a high-side SiC MOSFET (Q1), a low-side SiC MOSFET (Q2), a power inductor (L1), and an output capacitor (Cout). By controlling the on / off switching of Q1 and Q2, buck voltage reduction and synchronous rectification are achieved, improving circuit efficiency. By replacing traditional MOSFETs with SiC MOSFETs, leveraging their high frequency, low loss, high-temperature stability, and excellent reverse recovery characteristics, this not only optimizes efficiency and power density, but also simplifies circuit design and enhances system reliability.

[0062] The silicon carbide MOSFETs (Q1, Q2) are Wolfspeed C3M0065100K, with an on-resistance Rds(on) of 65mΩ (25°C) and a Qg of 38nC.

[0063] Adaptive Dead-Time Adjustment Unit: This unit directly reads the current switching frequency fsw and device temperature through the PWM logic control unit. Using a frequency-temperature dual-parameter mapping algorithm, it dynamically adjusts the dead-time (10ns to 100ns) according to a preset curve. When the switching frequency increases from 100kHz to MHz, the switching speed of the SiC MOSFET increases, shortening the turn-on / off time to tens of nanoseconds. At this point, the influence of parasitic parameters (such as gate loop inductance and junction capacitance) intensifies, potentially causing drive signal distortion. The impact of junction temperature fluctuations must also be considered. A fixed dead-time cannot adapt to rapidly changing switching transients. Therefore, adaptively varying the dead-time with the switching frequency is a key technology for achieving efficient and reliable operation.

[0064] Adaptive dead time t dead With the switching frequency f sw The relationship can be approximately expressed as:

[0065]

[0066] in:

[0067] k1 is the frequency-related coefficient;

[0068] k2 is 0.2ns / ℃ (temperature compensation coefficient);

[0069] k3 = 10ns (minimum dead time reference);

[0070] T j is the device junction temperature (unit: °C).

[0071] At the same time, the ideal dead time t dead Need to meet:

[0072] t dead ≥t off HS+t on LS-t delay driver

[0073] in:

[0074] t off HS is the high-pressure side tube shut-off time;

[0075] t on LS is the opening time of the low-pressure side pipe;

[0076] t delay driver is the transmission delay of the driver circuit.

[0077] Dynamically optimizing and adaptively adjusting the dead time based on the switching frequency can balance the conflicting demands of avoiding shoot-through current and reducing conduction loss, significantly improving system performance and reducing design complexity.

[0078] Overcurrent protection unit: The overcurrent protection unit consists of a current-limiting resistor RILIM, a current-limiting capacitor CILIM, a constant current source ILIM, a MOSFET T1, and a current-limiting comparator COMP2. When the PWM is off (LO is high), the unit uses the low-side silicon carbide MOSFET on-resistance Rds(on) to achieve lossless current detection. The constant current source ILIM provides a reference current that flows through the current-limiting resistor RILIM to program the current limit threshold. If the voltage at the constant current source pin is lower than GND, the current-limiting comparator COMP2 prevents further SW pulses, thereby achieving overload or short-circuit protection. At a junction temperature of 27°C, the ILIM current sensed by Rds(on) is 200μA and includes a temperature coefficient of +4500ppm / °C to track the changes in the low-side MOSFET's Rds(on) with temperature. The relationship between RILIM and the output current Iout satisfies the following equation:

[0079]

[0080] in:

[0081] ΔI L is the peak-to-peak value of the inductor L1 current;

[0082] R ds (on) is the on-resistance of the low-side SiC MOSFET;

[0083] The current limiting capacitor CILIM is crucial for the normal operation of the valley current limiting circuit. The appropriate capacitance value should be selected so that the time constant R ILIM *C ILIM About 6ns.

[0084] SW Zero-Crossing Comparator: The SW zero-crossing comparator consists of comparator COMP3. By sensing the voltage at the SW node using the zero-crossing comparator to detect reverse current flow, the low-side MOSFET is turned off. A high-speed comparator, such as the TLV301 with a response time of less than 20ns, is used to monitor the SW (switch node) voltage in real time. When the voltage crosses zero, a shutdown signal is output to the digital controller, which in turn turns off the low-side MOSFET, preventing reverse current from flowing into the low-side SiC MOSFET.

[0085] Feedback and compensation network unit: In a synchronous rectification buck circuit based on silicon carbide MOSFETs, the design of the feedback and compensation network directly affects the system's stability, dynamic response accuracy, and anti-interference capability. The feedback network uses a resistor divider network (Rfb1 and Rfb2) to sample the output voltage Vout. The output voltage and the sampling resistor satisfy the following relationship:

[0086]

[0087] The compensation network uses a Type III compensator, consisting of op amp OPA1, Rfb1, R1, C1, R2, C2, and C3. It has three poles and two zeros to improve low-frequency gain and high-frequency noise suppression. The op amp can be the OPA2188, with a gain-bandwidth product of up to 10 MHz.

[0088] Driver Unit: The SiC MOSFET driver unit consists of driver unit 1 and driver unit 2. The driver unit inputs are connected to the digital controller's PWM signals HO and LO, respectively, and the outputs are connected to the high-side SiC MOSFET 1Q1 and the low-side SiC MOSFET 2Q2, respectively. The driver unit converts the digital controller's PWM signals (HO and LO) into power signals sufficient to drive the SiC MOSFETs. The driver unit can utilize dedicated SiC MOSFET driver chips, such as Infineon's 1ED3321MC12N and Zhanxin Electronics' IVC01A02. These chips offer advantages such as fast switching speed, low propagation delay, strong drive capability, and high common-mode transient immunity (CMTI).

[0089] Frequency Adjustment Unit: This unit consists of a frequency oscillator, a feedforward ramp generator, and a frequency adjustment resistor (RT). It provides a clock signal (Clock) to the PWM logic control unit, with a frequency range up to the MHz level. Adjusting the resistance of RT adjusts the switching frequency.

[0090] Experiments show that this solution can achieve a peak efficiency of 97.6% at a switching frequency of 1 MHz. Compared with the prior art, the present invention achieves significant improvements in both switching frequency and efficiency.
