Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor lasers, and in particular to a synchronous interleaved parallel Buck pulse discharge circuit, a pulse discharge system and a switching power supply. Background Art

[0002] With the advancement of materials science and semiconductor technology, semiconductor lasers have become the core optoelectronic devices for achieving efficient conversion of electrical energy into photons due to their PN junction electroluminescent properties. This device has the advantages of small size, light weight, high luminous efficiency, and wide modulation bandwidth. It has been widely used in optical communications, biomedicine, advanced manufacturing, and national defense and military fields, especially in high-power application scenarios such as high-energy laser weapons and precision laser processing. However, there are two major technical bottlenecks in high-power semiconductor lasers: first, the device itself has physical property limitations such as high cost and poor impact resistance; second, the pulse quality of the driving power supply directly affects the laser output characteristics. Studies have shown that dynamic indicators such as the rise / fall time of the pulse waveform, current ripple coefficient, and reverse overshoot are strongly correlated with the laser life and beam quality.

[0003] Among the current mainstream drive solutions, traditional pulse generators based on linear power supply architectures have significant drawbacks: their power devices operate in the linear amplification region for extended periods, resulting in system efficiency below 40%. Furthermore, limited heat dissipation makes it difficult to achieve repetition rates above the kHz level and narrow pulse widths in the μs. Existing technical improvements, such as the multi-module parallel cascade topology proposed by Zhao Qinglin's team at Yanshan University, published in IEEE Access, titled "Design of Pulse Power Supply for High-Power Semiconductor Laser Diode Array," improve power capacity through a distributed structure. However, this approach utilizes multiple MOSFETs operating in the linear region in parallel as a current return path, leading to increased device losses. Furthermore, this approach requires an independent current-sharing control loop for each MOSFET, which not only increases control complexity but also introduces the risk of current-sharing imbalance due to the discrete nature of device parameters, making it difficult to meet high reliability requirements.

The pulse discharge system includes Figure 1 The synchronous interleaved parallel Buck pulse discharge circuit and controller shown in the embodiment, Figure 5 In this paper, a two-phase parallel synchronous rectification Buck circuit is taken as an example, that is, one of the SiC MOSFET devices include and , another SiC MOSFET device include and .

[0037] The controller includes: a digital signal processor configured to generate programmable pulse waveform parameters for generating a pulse width modulated signal; The gate driving circuit is configured to generate a driving timing control signal, wherein the driving timing control signal is used to generate a voltage signal.

[0038] Furthermore, the digital signal processor may be a DSP TMS320F28379D, and the controller may further include a monitoring circuit. The monitoring circuit may be, for example, a Hall sensor that can monitor the current flowing through each phase of the energy storage inductor in real time.

[0039] The pulse width modulation signal and the voltage signal are used to control the switching state of the SiC MOSFET device, and the voltage signal is also used to control the switching state of the Si IGBT device.

[0040] The voltage signal includes a first voltage signal, a second voltage signal, and a third voltage signal, and the pulse width modulation signal includes a first pulse width modulation signal and a second pulse width modulation signal; the first voltage signal and the second voltage signal are respectively used to control the switching state of one of the Si IGBT devices and the other Si IGBT device, the first pulse width modulation signal is used to control the switching state of one of the SiC MOSFET devices, and the second pulse width modulation signal and the third voltage signal are used to control the switching state of the other SiC MOSFET device.

[0043] Specifically, combined Figures 2 to 4 This section describes the control signals for the synchronous interleaved parallel Buck pulse discharge circuit. Figure 6 , which shows a schematic diagram of the control timing of each device when the synchronous interleaved parallel Buck pulse discharge circuit provided by an embodiment of the present application is working. The details are as follows: During charging, the first voltage signal and the second voltage signal are high level signals ( = =1), the third voltage signal is a low level signal ( =0), a plurality of the first pulse width modulation signals and is a pulse width modulation signal output according to a preset duty cycle, a plurality of the second pulse width modulation signals and is the output complementary pulse width modulation signal.

[0044] During discharge, the first voltage signal is a high level signal ( =1), the second voltage signal and the third voltage signal are low level signals ( = =0), a plurality of the first pulse width modulation signals and is a pulse width modulation signal output according to the duty cycle of the current closed-loop regulator, and the plurality of second pulse width modulation signals and is the output complementary pulse width modulation signal; Among them, the current closed-loop regulator can monitor the current of each phase in real time through the Hall sensor to achieve dynamic current sharing.

If the second pulse width modulation signal and and the third voltage signal Used to control another SiC MOSFET device according to an OR operation (or) and The switching state of the SiC MOSFET device and The signal received is a high voltage signal.

[0046] The drive signals for the upper and lower bridge arms are generated by high-speed gate drivers, with a strictly controlled dead-time of less than or equal to one hundredth of the switching period. The specific process is as follows: when the SiC MOSFET device in the upper bridge arm is turned off, the SiC MOSFET device in the lower bridge arm is immediately turned on, utilizing its low on-resistance to freewheel current and avoid excessive conduction losses in the body diode.

[0047] For example, the SiC MOSFET device of the two-phase interleaved parallel Buck pulse discharge circuit can be controlled by a first PWM signal with a phase difference of 180 degrees. The switch tube device of each phase Buck circuit ( and ; and ) alternately conducts, doubling the output current ripple frequency and effectively reducing the output filter inductance. Dynamic current sharing control uses Hall sensors to collect real-time current from each phase. A current closed-loop regulator (PI controller) adjusts the PWM duty cycle to ensure a current sharing error of less than 3%.

[0048] The energy regeneration circuit's operating sequence complements that of the buck circuit. During the pulse output discharge phase (pulse width 300μs), the lower-arm SiC MOSFET remains off. When the pulse ends and the rest period (700μs) begins, the lower-arm SiC MOSFET is triggered to turn on, transferring the remaining energy in the energy storage inductor back to the bus capacitor via the energy regeneration circuit. This regeneration process provides a regeneration path for the remaining energy in the inductor of each phase by providing a drive signal to the lower-arm switching transistor of each buck phase, achieving an energy recovery efficiency exceeding 80%. Simultaneously, the regeneration operation precharges the bus capacitor voltage to the initial value required for the next pulse, shortening the pulse rise time.
