Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present application.
[0060] Due to the excellent inherent characteristics of SiC MOSFET, new problems are also brought to the design of the driving circuit, and the mature silicon-based IGBT or Si-MOSFET driving scheme cannot be directly and simply used, for example, the SiC MOSFET device requires higher switching speed, higher anti-interference requirement, stricter gate voltage requirement, general requirement of negative voltage off, and improvement of power density, etc. Therefore, in the existing application scheme of the SiC MOSFET device, the volume of the required isolation circuit is large, and the low-power multi-channel driving circuit control requirement cannot be met, the loss and pressure during driving are large, the driving effect is poor, and the current driving requirement cannot be met.
[0061] In order to solve the above problems, the embodiment of the present application provides a driving circuit and electronic equipment, which amplifies the signal twice through two-stage push-pull bridge arms, so as to drive the switch of the driven component based on the control signal, effectively reduces the overall volume and loss of the driving circuit, and optimizes the driving effect of the driving circuit.

The first push-pull bridge arm 200 is used to process the first driving signal sig1 to obtain a second driving signal sig2, and drive the second push-pull bridge arm 300 based on the second driving signal sig2. The second push-pull bridge arm 300 is used to process the second driving signal sig2 to obtain a control signal sig3, and control the driven component 400 to be turned on or turned off based on the control signal sig3. The driving circuit is provided with the control component 100 capable of generating the first driving signal sig1. The first driving signal sig1 can drive the corresponding first push-pull bridge arm 200. The first push-pull bridge arm 200 can also amplify the first driving signal sig1 to obtain the corresponding second driving signal sig2. The second driving signal sig2 can drive the corresponding second push-pull bridge arm 300. The second push-pull bridge arm 300 can also amplify the second driving signal sig2 to obtain the final control signal sig3, so as to control the driven component 400 to be turned on or turned off according to the control signal sig3. The signal can be amplified twice based on the two-stage push-pull bridge arms, which effectively provides a high-power control signal sig3 to control the driven component 400, realizes a higher driving frequency under the same power consumption, and the driving signals are isolated from each other, effectively reducing the circuit volume required for isolation packaging, meeting the low-power multi-channel driving circuit control requirements in various application scenarios, and having small power consumption and pressure during driving and good driving effect.
[0064] Optionally, the control component 100 can include various devices capable of generating multi-channel isolated driving pulse signals, such as various types of isolators, drivers, optical coupling arrays, magnetic coupling arrays, etc. The driven component 400 can be provided with multi-channel driven devices, such as power MOS (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor) tubes, etc.
[0065] Optionally, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 A detailed structure diagram of a driving circuit provided by the embodiment of the application.
[0066] Optionally, the control component 100 can comprise a control chip 110 connected to an isolated power supply VCC1 for providing working power for the control chip 110, and the control chip 110 is configured to generate a first driving signal sig1 based on an internal crystal oscillator. The control component 100 can comprise a control chip 110 capable of generating a first driving signal sig1 with multiple isolated signals based on its own internal crystal oscillator, and the isolated power supply VCC1 is connected to the control chip 110 to supply power for the control chip 110, without the need to set an isolation gate structure for isolation, thus avoiding the problem of limited power bearing of the LDMOS (Lateral Diffused Metal Oxide Semiconductor) in the existing solution, and effectively reducing the circuit volume occupied by the isolation gate package required for transmitting the driving signal of the multiple isolated signals.
[0067] For example, the control chip 110 can be a corresponding CPLD (Complex Programmable Logic Device) chip capable of directly generating multiple PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) signals as the first driving signal sig1, for example Figure 2 4 isolated signals, i.e., sig1-1, sig1-2, sig1-3, and sig1-4, as shown in FIG. 1B, and the control component 100 can further be provided with a corresponding optocoupler 120 to isolate the multiple signals based on the optocoupler 120.
[0068] Optionally, considering that the first driving signal sig1 comprises multiple driving signals, in order to effectively process the multiple driving signals, the first push-pull bridge arm 200 can comprise a first push-pull bridge arm 210 and a second push-pull bridge arm 220, and the first push-pull bridge arm 210 is connected to the isolated power supply VCC1 and a zero potential end GND, and the second push-pull bridge arm 220 is connected to the isolated power supply VCC1 and the zero potential end GND.
[0069] The zero potential end GND is a reference zero potential point of the driving circuit.
[0070] It should be noted that the first driving signal sig1 can be a PWM signal. Figure 2For example, in the first-stage drive signal sig1 generated by the control chip 110, the first two signals, i.e., sig1-1 and sig1-2, can be used as the first type of signal input into the first push-pull bridge arm 210 for processing, and the last two signals, i.e., sig1-3 and sig1-4, can be used as the second type of signal input into the second push-pull bridge arm 220. The first push-pull bridge arm 210 is configured to amplify the first type of signal in the first-stage drive signal sig1 and output a first drive signal sig21, and the second push-pull bridge arm 220 is configured to amplify the second type of signal in the first-stage drive signal sig1 and output a second drive signal sig22. The first-stage drive signal sig1 includes the first type of signal and the second type of signal which are isolated from each other, and the second-stage drive signal sig2 includes the first drive signal sig21 and the second drive signal sig22. In order to process the first-stage drive signal sig1, the first-stage push-pull bridge arm 200 can be provided with the first push-pull bridge arm 210 and the second push-pull bridge arm 220, and the two push-pull bridge arms are connected to the isolated power supply VCC1 and the zero potential end GND to supply power to the first-stage push-pull bridge arm 200 based on the isolated power supply VCC1, thereby reducing the volume and the number of windings of the transformer. The first push-pull bridge arm 210 can amplify the first type of signal in the first-stage drive signal sig1 and output the corresponding first drive signal sig21, and the second push-pull bridge arm 220 can amplify the second type of signal in the first-stage drive signal sig1 and output the corresponding second drive signal sig22. The two push-pull bridge arms in the first-stage push-pull bridge arm 200 can be configured to amplify multiple signals, thereby effectively improving the amplification effect of the first-stage signal.
[0071] Optionally, the first push-pull bridge arm 210 can include a first resistor R1, a second resistor R2, a first PMOS P1, and a first NMOS N1.

[0072] Optionally, the second push-pull bridge arm 220 can include a third resistor R3, a fourth resistor R4, a second PMOS P2, and a second NMOS N2. The gate of the second PMOS P2 is connected to the third resistor R3, the source of the second PMOS P2 is connected to the isolated power supply VCC1, the drain of the second PMOS P2 is connected to the drain of the second NMOS N2, the gate of the second NMOS N2 is connected to the fourth resistor R4, the source of the second NMOS N2 is connected to the zero potential end GND, and the third resistor R3 and the fourth resistor R4 are connected to the control component 100.
[0073] For example, sig1-1 in the first type of signal is input to the gate of the first PMOS P1 after passing through the first resistor R1, and sig1-2 is input to the gate of the first NMOS N1 after passing through the second resistor R2. The first resistor R1 is connected to the gate of the first PMOS P1, the source of which is connected to the isolated power supply VCC1, and the drain of which is connected to the drain of the first NMOS N1, and the gate of the first NMOS N1 is connected to the second resistor R2, the source of which is connected to the zero potential terminal GND, thereby forming the first push-pull bridge arm 210 to amplify the first type of signal. The structure and signal path of the second push-pull bridge arm 220 are similar to those of the first push-pull bridge arm 210, and will not be described in detail here.
[0074] In order to achieve the first-stage signal amplification effect, the first push-pull bridge arm 210 and the second push-pull bridge arm 220 can each include two resistors, a PMOS device and an NMOS device, which are connected to form a corresponding push-pull bridge arm. The two isolated signals in the first type of signal or the second type of signal can be amplified by the PMOS device and the NMOS device, respectively, to obtain the corresponding first driving signal sig21 and the second driving signal sig22.
[0075] Please continue to refer to Figure 2 The second-stage push-pull bridge arm 300 is used to amplify the first driving signal sig21 and the second driving signal sig22, and output the control signal sig3.
[0076] Alternatively, the second-stage push-pull bridge arm 300 can include a first level shift circuit A1, a second level shift circuit A2, a fifth resistor R5, a sixth resistor R6, a third PMOS P3 and a third NMOS N3. The first push-pull bridge arm 210 is connected to the fifth resistor R5 based on the first level shift circuit A1, the fifth resistor R5 is connected to the gate of the third PMOS P3, the first level shift circuit A1 is connected to the driving power supply VCC2, and the source of the third PMOS P3 is connected to the driving power supply VCC2.

The drain of the third PMOS P3 is connected to the drain of the third NMOS N3, and the control signal sig3 is output.
[0077] It should be noted that, in the case of the isolation power supply VCC1 being 5V, the driving power supply VCC2 being 20V, and the negative power supply VEE being -5V, the third PMOS P3 needs a driving waveform with the driving power supply VCC2 as the reference ground, and the signal generated by the first driving signal sig21 cannot be directly used, therefore, the first level shift circuit A1 is designed to change the input waveform value to 15V~20V (VCC2-5V~VCC2) relative to the zero potential end GND, and the third NMOS N3 needs a driving waveform with the negative power supply VEE as the reference ground, and the signal generated by the second driving signal sig22 cannot be directly used, therefore, the second level shift circuit A2 is designed to change the input waveform value to -5V~0V (VEE-~VEE+5V) relative to the zero potential end GND.
[0078] In order to realize the second-stage signal amplification effect, the second-stage push-pull bridge arm 300 can include PMOS devices and NMOS devices connected at the drain, and resistors and level shift circuits connected with the PMOS devices and the NMOS devices, respectively. The first driving signal sig21 and the second driving signal sig22 received can be amplified by the PMOS devices and the NMOS devices, respectively, and the final control signal sig3 can be output by the drain connected with the PMOS devices and the NMOS devices. In addition, the level shift circuit can be used to realize floating driving, and reduce the turn-off tail problem of the BJT caused by the totem pole push-pull bridge composed of the BJT.

When the four PWM signals are high, the first PMOSP1 and the second PMOSP2 are disconnected, the first NMOSN1 and the second NMOSN2 are turned on, and the first push-pull bridge arm 210 and the second push-pull bridge arm 220 output the first driving signal sig21 and the second driving signal sig22 at low level. When the four PWM signals are low, the first PMOSP1 and the second PMOSP2 are turned on, the first NMOSN1 and the second NMOSN2 are turned off, and the first push-pull bridge arm 210 and the second push-pull bridge arm 220 output the first driving signal sig21 and the second driving signal sig22 at high level.

The control signal sig3 output by the second push-pull bridge arm 300 can drive the driven component 400. When the control signal sig3 is high, the driven component 400 is turned on. When the control signal sig3 is low, the driven component 400 is turned off, thereby realizing the on-off control of the driven component 400.

The specific connection mode can include that the control signal sig3 drives the multi-way switch circuit 410, and the sources and drains of the plurality of power NMOS in the plurality of switch circuits 410 are connected in parallel.
[0087] It should be noted that considering the voltage requirements of the plurality of power supplies in the driving circuit, the driving circuit can further include a first power supply control circuit. The first power supply control circuit is connected with the isolation power supply VCC1, the driving power supply VCC2, the zero potential end GND and the control component 100, and is used to control the driving voltage of the driving power supply VCC2 based on the primary driving signal sig1.

The first power control circuit may include: the cathode of a fourth diode Da is connected to the anode of a fifth diode Db, and so on, with six diodes connected in series (fourth diode Da, fifth diode Db, sixth diode Dc, seventh diode Dd, eighth diode De, and ninth diode Df). The anode of the fourth diode Da is connected to the sixth capacitor Cd, the cathode of the fourth diode Da is connected to the third capacitor Ca, the anode of the sixth diode Dc is connected to the seventh capacitor Ce, the cathode of the sixth diode Dc is connected to the fourth capacitor Cb, the anode of the eighth diode De is connected to the eighth capacitor Cf, the cathode of the eighth diode De is connected to the fifth capacitor Cc, and the cathode of the ninth diode Df is connected to the ninth capacitor Cg.

The other ends of the third capacitor Ca, the fourth capacitor Cb, and the fifth capacitor Cc are connected to the control component 100 to receive the first-level drive signal sig1. The cathode of the ninth diode Df is the output of the drive power supply VCC2.
[0089] For example, in Figure 4 In the circuit structure shown, when the first-stage drive signal sig1 outputs a low level (0V), the 5V isolation power supply VCC1 charges the third capacitor Ca to the ninth capacitor Cg to 5V; when the first-stage drive signal sig1 outputs a high level (5V), the upper levels of the third capacitor Ca, the fourth capacitor Cb, and the fifth capacitor Cc are 10V, and the upper levels of the seventh capacitor Ce, the eighth capacitor Cf, and the ninth capacitor Cg are 5V. The fifth diode Db, the seventh diode Dd, and the ninth diode Df are turned on. The third capacitor Ca, the fourth capacitor Cb, and the fifth capacitor Cc charge the seventh capacitor Ce, the eighth capacitor Cf, and the ninth capacitor Cg respectively. f. When the upper voltage of the ninth capacitor Cg reaches 7.5V, charging ends. The first-stage drive signal sig1 outputs a low level again, and the upper voltage of the third capacitor Ca, the fourth capacitor Cb, and the fifth capacitor Cc reaches 2.5V. The fourth diode Da and the ninth diode Df are turned on, and the 5V power supply charges the third capacitor Ca, the seventh capacitor Ce, the fourth capacitor Cb, and the eighth capacitor Cf and the fifth capacitor Cc. When the first-stage drive signal sig1 outputs a high level again, the third capacitor Ca charges the seventh capacitor Ce, the fourth capacitor Cb, the eighth capacitor Cf, and the fifth capacitor Cc, and so on. The upper voltage of the ninth capacitor Cg is charged to about 20V, and the output 20V is used as the drive voltage of the drive power supply VCC2.
[0090] It should be noted that, considering the voltage requirements of multiple power supplies in the drive circuit, the drive circuit can further include a second power supply control circuit. The second power supply control circuit is connected to the negative power supply VEE, the zero potential end GND and the control component 100, and is used to control the negative voltage of the negative power supply VEE based on the first drive signal sig1. There can also be a second power supply control circuit in the drive circuit to control the negative voltage of the negative power supply VEE. The second power supply control circuit is connected to the negative power supply VEE, the zero potential end GND and the control component 100, and can perform charging processing according to the level of the first drive signal sig1 output by the control component 100 to control the negative voltage of the negative power supply VEE, obtain the required negative voltage, and provide the corresponding reference voltage for the secondary push-pull bridge arm 300 based on the appropriate negative voltage, realize higher power output, and further optimize the driving performance of the drive circuit.

[0092] For example, in the circuit structure shown in Figure 5 , when the first drive signal sig1 outputs a high level (5V), the left side of the tenth capacitor Ch is charged to 5V, and the right side of the tenth capacitor Ch is at 0V; when the first drive signal sig1 outputs a low level (0V), the left side of the tenth capacitor Ch is at 0V, and the right side of the tenth capacitor Ch becomes -5V, the upper end of the eleventh capacitor Ci is at 0V, the twelfth diode Dg is turned on, and the right end of the tenth capacitor Ch and the upper end of the eleventh capacitor Ci are balanced at -2.5V; when the first drive signal sig1 outputs a high level again, the right side of the tenth capacitor Ch becomes 2.5V, the eleventh diode Dh is turned on, and the right side of the tenth capacitor Ch becomes 0V; when the first drive signal sig1 outputs a low level again, the right side of the tenth capacitor Ch becomes -5V, the twelfth diode Dg is turned on, and the right side of the tenth capacitor Ch and the upper end of the eleventh capacitor Ci are balanced at -3.75V, and thus the upper end of the eleventh capacitor Ci is charged to about -5V to output -5V as the negative voltage of the negative power supply VEE.
