[0030] Reference Figures 1 to 5 The embodiments of the present invention are described below;
[0031] A first aspect of the present invention provides a multi-stage voltage delay drive circuit, comprising:
[0032] The system comprises an external parameter input module 1, a time information reading module 2, and a drive voltage adjustment module 3. The external parameter input module 1 is electrically connected to both the time information reading module 2 and the drive voltage adjustment module 3, and the time information reading module 2 is electrically connected to the drive voltage adjustment module 3. The external parameter input module 1 receives time configuration parameters and voltage reference parameters. The time information reading module 2 converts the time configuration parameters into digital time commands. The drive voltage adjustment module 3 outputs a gate drive voltage adapted to the IGBT switching characteristics in stages according to the digital time commands and the voltage reference parameters.
[0033] In this embodiment, firstly, the external parameter input module 1 can receive time configuration parameters and voltage reference parameters, providing a customized basis for control at different switching stages; secondly, the time information reading module 2 converts the time configuration parameters into digital time commands to ensure the timing accuracy of drive adjustment; finally, the drive voltage adjustment module 3 outputs gate drive voltages adapted to the IGBT switching characteristics in stages according to the digital time commands and voltage reference parameters, outputting high voltages in stages where faster switching is needed to reduce losses, and outputting matching voltages in stages where spikes need to be avoided; the multi-stage voltage delay drive circuit of this invention effectively balances the switching efficiency and operational safety of the IGBT through this dynamic staged adjustment method, significantly improving the practicality and reliability of the drive circuit, thereby ensuring the stable operation of the entire power system.
[0034] Specifically, the external parameter input module 1 includes a first high-level port TON1H, a first low-level port TON1L, a second high-level port TON2H, a second low-level port TON2L, a first high-level port TOFF1H, a first low-level port TOFF1L, a second high-level port TOFF2H, a second low-level port TOFF2L, an on-reference voltage port VONREF, and a off-reference voltage port VOFFREF. The first high-level port TON1H, the first low-level port TON1L, the second high-level port TON2H, the second low-level port TON2L, the first high-level port TOFF1H, the first low-level port TOFF1L, the second high-level port TOFF2H, and the second low-level port TOFF2L are all electrically connected to the time information reading module 2. The on-reference voltage port VONREF and the off-reference voltage port VOFFREF are electrically connected to the drive voltage adjustment module 3.
[0035] In this embodiment, the first high-level turn-on port TON1H, the first low-level turn-on port TON1L, the second high-level turn-on port TON2H, the second low-level turn-on port TON2L, the first high-level turn-off port TOFF1H, the first low-level turn-off port TOFF1L, the second high-level turn-off port TOFF2H, and the second low-level turn-off port TOFF2L are time configuration ports, and the analog voltage values input to each port correspond to the delay parameters of different stages of IGBT switching.
[0036] The input voltages of the first high-level port TON1H, the second high-level port TON2H, the first high-level port TOFF1H, and the second high-level port TOFF2H correspond to the delay time in the tens digit; the input voltages of the first low-level port TON1L, the second low-level port TON2L, the first low-level port TOFF1L, and the second low-level port TOFF2L correspond to the delay time in the units digit.
[0037] For example, when configuring a delay TON1 for the first turn-on phase (the IC remains unchanged before IGBT turn-on), inputting 5V to the TON1H port and 4V to the TON1L port, combined with the 10MHz reference clock (minimum accuracy 0.1μs) of the time information reading module 2, we can calculate TON1 = (5×10+4)×0.1μs = 5.4μs; similarly, inputting 3V to the TON2H port and 2V to the TON2L port for the second turn-on phase (the IC rise phase during IGBT turn-on), we can obtain TON2 = (3×10+2)×0.1μs = 3.2μs; The configuration logic of TOFF1 (IC unchanged stage before shutdown) and TOFF2 (IC decreasing stage during shutdown) in the shutdown phase is the same. For example, if 4V is input to TOFF1H and 2V is input to TOFF1L, TOFF1 = (4×10+2)×0.1μs = 4.2μs can be obtained; if 3V is input to TOFF2H and 1V is input to TOFF2L, TOFF2 = (3×10+1)×0.1μs = 3.1μs can be obtained; The analog voltage signals output from each port are transmitted to the time information reading module 2 to provide raw parameters for subsequent digital time command conversion;
[0038] The VONREF and VOFFREF reference voltage ports are voltage reference ports. These two ports are used to input reference voltages adapted to the critical stages of IGBT switching, directly providing the voltage switching basis for the drive voltage regulation module 3. The VONREF port, through an external adjustable reference source, receives a voltage input (adjustable according to the IGBT model, typically 7-11V) to control the drive voltage during the IC rising phase of IGBT turn-on, suppressing current spikes. The VOFFREF port, through an external adjustable reference source, receives a voltage input (typically -5 to -9V) to control the drive voltage during the IC falling phase of IGBT turn-off, suppressing voltage overshoot. The voltage signals from both ports are directly transmitted to the turn-on and turn-off voltage switching circuits of the drive voltage regulation module 3, serving as the reference values for the staged voltage output.
[0039] Specifically, the time information reading module 2 includes a channel selection module, a conversion module, a data processing module, and a data storage module, which are electrically connected in sequence; the data storage module is electrically connected to the drive voltage adjustment module 3; the channel selection module is electrically connected to the first high-level on port TON1H, the first low-level on port TON1L, the second high-level on port TON2H, the second low-level on port TON2L, the first high-level off port TOFF1H, the first low-level off port TOFF1L, the second high-level off port TOFF2H, and the second low-level off port TOFF2L, respectively; the channel selection module is used to sequentially turn on the channels according to time order. The first high-order port TON1H, the first low-order port TON1L, the second high-order port TON2H, the second low-order port TON2L, the first high-order port TOFF1H, the first low-order port TOFF1L, the second high-order port TOFF2H, and the second low-order port TOFF are configured to transmit the time configuration parameters provided by each port to the conversion module. The conversion module is used to convert the time configuration parameters into digital signals. The data processing module is used to perform a summation operation between the high and low orders of the digital signals to generate delay data. The data storage module is used to temporarily store the delay data and output it to the drive voltage adjustment module 3.
[0040] In this embodiment, the time information reading module 2, in conjunction with the reference clock provided by the external 10MHz oscillation circuit, achieves accurate processing of the parameters of the eight time configuration ports. The specific implementation method is as follows:
[0041] The channel selection module has eight built-in analog switches (corresponding to the first high-order port TON1H, the first low-order port TON1L, the second high-order port TON2H, the second low-order port TON2L, the first high-order port TOFF1H, the first low-order port TOFF1L, the second high-order port TOFF2H, and the second low-order port TOFF2L, respectively). Driven by internal timing control signals, the switches sequentially turn on each port in the order of "first the turn-on phase, then the turn-off phase; first the high-order ports, then the low-order ports." For example, in the first cycle... In the first cycle, the high-order port TON1H is activated; in the second cycle, the low-order port TON1L is activated; in the third cycle, the high-order port TON2H is activated; in the fourth cycle, the low-order port TON2L is activated; and in subsequent cycles, the high-order port TOFF1H, the low-order port TOFF1L, the high-order port TOFF2H, and the low-order port TOFF2L are activated sequentially. Only one port is activated at a time, and its input analog voltage-form time configuration parameters are transmitted separately to the conversion module to avoid crosstalk between multiple ports affecting accuracy.
[0042] The conversion module uses an eight-bit successive approximation A / D converter. Its input range matches the voltage input range of the time configuration port, which can convert the analog voltage signal transmitted by the channel selection module into an eight-bit binary digital signal. For example, when the input voltage is 5V, the A / D converter outputs the digital signal "00000101"; when the input voltage is 4V, it outputs the digital signal "00000100".
[0043] The data processing module has a built-in addition unit that performs summation operations on the converted digital signals.
[0044] During the activation phase, the digital signal corresponding to the first activation high-order port TON1H (high-order time parameter, 1 bit corresponds to 10 × 0.1 μs = 1 μs) is summed with the digital signal corresponding to the first activation low-order port TON1L (low-order time parameter, 1 bit corresponds to 1 × 0.1 μs = 0.1 μs) to generate the data for the first activation phase delay TON1 (e.g., “00000101” + “00000100” = “00001001”, corresponding to TON1 = (5 × 1 + 4 × 0.1) μs = 5.4 μs); similarly, the digital signal corresponding to the second activation high-order port TON2H and the second activation low-order port TON2L is summed. The digital signals are summed to generate the data for the second-stage turn-on delay TON2 (e.g., when TON2H=3V and TON2L=2V, the turn-on delay TON2=(3×1+2×0.1)μs=3.2μs). During the turn-off phase, the same logic is used: the digital signals of the first turn-off high-order port TOFF1H and the first turn-off low-order port TOFF1L are summed to generate the data for the first-stage turn-off delay TOFF1; the digital signals of the second turn-off high-order port TOFF2H and the second turn-off low-order port TOFF2L are summed to generate the data for the second-stage turn-off delay TOFF2. Finally, four complete sets of delay data are obtained.
[0045] The data storage module uses an eight-bit D-type latch to store the four sets of delayed data generated by the data processing module in four independent storage units. The enable terminal of the storage unit is synchronized with the timing signal of the drive voltage adjustment module 3. When the drive voltage adjustment module 3 (on / off stage timing circuit) needs to call the delayed data, the output terminal of the corresponding storage unit of the storage module is turned on, and the data of the first stage delay TON1 and the second stage delay TON2 are transmitted to the on stage timing circuit, and the data of the first stage delay TOFF1 and the second stage delay TOFF2 are transmitted to the off stage timing circuit, providing accurate digital time instructions for the generation of subsequent timing trigger signals.
[0046] Through the above process, the time information reading module 2 can accurately convert the externally input analog voltage parameters into digital time data that can be recognized by the drive voltage adjustment module 3. The entire process adopts time-division processing and group operation logic, which effectively ensures the processing accuracy and transmission reliability of the time parameters, and provides an accurate timing control basis for multi-level voltage delay drive.
[0047] Specifically, the drive voltage adjustment module 3 includes an on-phase timing circuit, an off-phase timing circuit, an on-phase voltage switching circuit, and an off-phase voltage switching circuit; the on-phase timing circuit and the on-phase reference voltage port VONREF are electrically connected to the on-phase voltage switching circuit; the off-phase timing circuit and the off-phase reference voltage port VOFFREF are electrically connected to the off-phase voltage switching circuit; the on-phase timing circuit and the off-phase timing circuit are used to read the delay data and generate corresponding timing trigger signals; the on-phase voltage switching circuit and the off-phase voltage switching circuit are used to output gate drive voltage according to the timing trigger signals.
[0048] In this embodiment, the core function of the drive voltage adjustment module 3 is to take the delayed data output by the time information reading module 2, first generate a timing signal through the timing circuit, and then output a voltage through the voltage switching circuit to adapt to the gate drive voltage that is compatible with the IGBT turn-on / turn-off characteristics.
[0049] During the IGBT turn-on process, the turn-on timing circuit first reads the turn-on-related delay data from the data storage module, and generates two sets of timing trigger signals, t1 and t2, according to preset time nodes, in conjunction with a 10MHz reference clock signal. The t1 signal indicates that the IGBT has entered the "IC rising phase" from the "IC constant phase", and the t2 signal indicates that the IGBT has entered the "IC steady phase" from the "IC rising phase". These two sets of signals are synchronously transmitted to the turn-on voltage switching circuit. The turn-on voltage switching circuit receives the reference voltage input from the turn-on reference voltage port VONREF, and outputs a dynamically adjusted drive voltage to the IGBT gate based on its internal logic to meet the voltage switching requirements during the turn-on process.
[0050] Similarly, during the IGBT turn-off process, the turn-off timing circuit reads the turn-off-related delay data from the data storage module and generates two sets of timing trigger signals, t3 and t4. The t3 signal indicates that the IGBT has entered the "IC decreasing phase" from the "IC unchanged phase", and the t4 signal indicates that the IGBT has entered the "IC zeroing phase" from the "IC decreasing phase". These two sets of signals are synchronously transmitted to the turn-off voltage switching circuit. The turn-off voltage switching circuit receives the reference voltage input from the turn-off reference voltage port VOFFREF and outputs a drive voltage to the IGBT emitter based on its internal logic to realize the voltage switching requirements during the turn-off process.
[0051] Specifically, the activation phase timing circuit includes a detection trigger EF0, a first eight-bit timer, a first selector array, a first eight-bit adder EF10, a first AND gate G1, a second AND gate G2, a first OR gate, and a first storage trigger EF9. The positive output of the detection trigger EF0 is connected to the reset terminal of the first eight-bit timer and the clock terminal of the first storage trigger EF9. The first eight-bit timer includes a first trigger EF1, a second trigger EF2, a third trigger EF3, a fourth trigger EF4, a fifth trigger EF5, a sixth trigger EF6, a seventh trigger EF7, and an eighth trigger EF8 connected in series. The first selector array includes eight first selectors.

[0053] In this embodiment, the core function of the activation stage timing circuit is to convert activation-related delay data into t1 and t2 signals. Its working principle is as follows:
[0054] The detection trigger EF0 is a D-type trigger, and its input is connected to an external PWM drive instruction (the IGBT turn-on instruction when PWM=1). When PWM=1 is detected, the positive output (Q terminal) of EF0 outputs a high level, which is divided into two paths: one path is transmitted to the reset terminal of the first eight-bit timer to release the initial reset state of the first eight-bit timer (when the reset terminal is high, the timer can respond to the clock signal); the other path is transmitted to the clock terminal of the first storage trigger EF9 to provide a clock synchronization reference for the subsequent latching of the t1 signal. At the same time, the first input terminal of the first OR gate is connected to a 10MHz external reference clock signal. At this time, since the second AND gate G2 has not yet output a high level (t2=0), the first OR gate only transmits the 10MHz clock signal to the clock terminal of the first eight-bit timer (i.e., the CP terminal of each trigger EF1~EF8), triggering the first eight-bit timer to start counting.
[0055] The first eight-bit timer consists of eight series-connected T-type flip-flops (first flip-flop EF1 to eighth flip-flop EF8). Driven by a 10MHz clock, it operates according to binary counting rules: the first flip-flop EF1 is the least significant bit (LSB), and its output toggles once for each clock pulse received; the eighth flip-flop EF8 is the most significant bit (MSB), and its output toggles once for every eight clock pulses received. The outputs of the eight flip-flops (Q1 to Q8) together form an eight-bit binary counting signal (Q<7:0>), which reflects the current cumulative counting time in real time (e.g., when the count is "00001011", the corresponding counting time = 11 × 0.1μs = 1.1μs).
[0056] The two input terminals of the first eight-bit adder EF10 read the first-stage delay TON1 (e.g., 5.4μs, corresponding to the digital signal "00101011") and the second-stage delay TON2 (e.g., 3.2μs, corresponding to the digital signal "00011010") from the data storage module, respectively. The total delay TO = TON1 + TON2 = 8.6μs is generated through addition, corresponding to the digital signal "01000110", and the signal is transmitted to one of the control terminals of the first selector array.
[0057] The first selector array contains eight selectors (MUX1~MUX8). The two data input terminals of each selector are respectively connected to the output signal (Q) and the inverted signal (Qn) of the corresponding T flip-flop (e.g., MUX1 is connected to Q1 and Qn1 of the first flip-flop EF1, and MUX8 is connected to Q8 and Qn8 of the eighth flip-flop EF8). The control terminals of the first selector array are divided into two groups: one group is connected to the digital signal output by the data storage module (to enable the first stage delay TON1), which is used to match the "TON1 timing node"; the other group is connected to the digital signal output by the first eight-bit adder EF10 (total delay TO), which is used to match the "TO timing node". The first selector array determines whether to output Q or Qn by the level of the control terminal: when the control terminal is high, it outputs the Q signal; when it is low, it outputs the Qn signal. Finally, the eight selectors output eight matching signals (S1<7:0>) for the "TON1 node" and eight matching signals (S2<7:0>) for the "TO node", and transmit them to the input terminals of the first AND gate G1 and the second AND gate G2 respectively.
[0058] Generation and latching of the t1 signal: When the counting signal Q<7:0> of the first eight-bit timer is fully matched with the turn-on first stage delay TON1 (S1<7:0>), the first AND gate G1 outputs a high level; this high level is transmitted to the input terminal (D terminal) of the first storage flip-flop EF9. At this time, the clock terminal of the first storage flip-flop EF9 has been synchronized by the high level output of the detection flip-flop EF0. Therefore, the output terminal (Q terminal) of the first storage flip-flop EF9 latches the high level and continues to output, that is, generates the t1=1 signal (marking that the IGBT has entered the "IC rising stage" from the "IC unchanged stage"), and transmits the t1 signal synchronously to the turn-on voltage switching circuit;
[0059] Generation of the t2 signal: When the counting signal Q<7:0> of the first eight-bit timer is fully matched with the total delay TO (S2<7:0>), the second AND gate G2 outputs a high level, which generates the t2=1 signal (marking that the IGBT has entered the "IC steady stage" from the "IC rising stage"). This high level is divided into two paths: one path is transmitted to the turn-on voltage switching circuit as the trigger signal for the second stage voltage switching; the other path is transmitted to the second input of the first OR gate. At this time, the first OR gate still maintains a 10MHz clock signal output to ensure that the timer continues to count until the turn-on ends.
[0060] In this embodiment, the core function of the shutdown phase timing circuit is to convert the shutdown-related delay data into t3 and t4 signals. Its working principle is as follows:
[0061] When the external PWM instruction becomes 0 (IGBT turn-off instruction), the inverting output terminal (Qn terminal) of the detection flip-flop EF0 outputs a high level (Q terminal outputs a low level, opposite to the turn-on phase); this high level is divided into two paths: one path is transmitted to the reset terminal of the second 8-bit timer to release its initial reset state; the other path is transmitted to the clock terminal of the second storage flip-flop EF20 to provide a synchronization reference for the latching of the t3 signal; at the same time, the first input terminal of the second OR gate is connected to a 10MHz external reference clock signal (shared with the turn-on phase). Since the fourth AND gate G4 has not yet output a high level (t4=0), the second OR gate transmits the 10MHz clock signal to the clock terminal of the second 8-bit timer (CP terminal of the eleventh flip-flop EF11 to the eighteenth flip-flop EF18), triggering the second 8-bit timer to start counting;
[0062] The second eight-bit timer consists of eight series-connected T-type flip-flops (EF11~EF18). Its counting logic is the same as that of the first eight-bit timer. Its output (Q11~Q18) forms an eight-bit binary counting signal (Q'<7:0>), which reflects the cumulative timing duration during the off-phase.
[0063] The two input terminals of the second 8-bit adder EF19 read the first stage delay TOFF1 (e.g., 4.2μs, corresponding to the digital signal "00100010") and the second stage delay TOFF2 (e.g., 3.1μs, corresponding to the digital signal "00011111") from the data storage module, generate the total delay TC=TOFF1+TOFF2 (e.g., 7.3μs, corresponding to the digital signal "00111011") through addition, and transmit it to a set of control terminals of the second selector array;
[0064] The second selector array contains eight 1-to-2 selectors (MUX9~MUX16). The data input of each selector is connected to the Q and Qn signals of the corresponding eleventh flip-flop EF11~eighteenth flip-flop EF18. The control terminals of the second selector array are divided into two groups: one group is connected to the digital signal output by the data storage module (turning off the first stage delay TOFF1), used to match the "TOFF1 timing node"; the other group is connected to the digital signal output by the first eight-bit adder EF10 (total delay TC), used to match the "TC timing node". The selector determines whether to output Q or Qn by the level of the control terminal: when the selector control terminal is high, it outputs the Q signal; when it is low, it outputs the Qn signal. Finally, the eight selectors output eight matching signals S3<7:0> for the "TOFF1 node" and eight matching signals S4<7:0> for the "TC node", and transmit them to the input terminals of the third AND gate G3 and the fourth AND gate G4, respectively.
[0065] Generation and latching of the t3 signal: When the counting signal Q'<7:0> of the second eight-bit timer is fully matched with the first stage turn-off delay TOFF1 (S3<7:0>), the third AND gate G3 outputs a high level; this high level is transmitted to the input (D terminal) of the second storage flip-flop EF20, and combined with the clock synchronization signal of the inverted output (Qn) of the detection flip-flop EF0, the output of the second storage flip-flop EF20 latches the high level, generating the t3=1 signal (marking that the IGBT has entered the "IC falling stage" from the "IC unchanged stage"), and is transmitted to the turn-off voltage switching circuit;
[0066] Generation of the t4 signal: When the counting signal Q'<7:0> of the second eight-bit timer is perfectly matched with the total delay TC (S4<7:0>), the fourth AND gate G4 outputs a high level, that is, the t4=1 signal is generated; the t4 signal is divided into two paths: one path is transmitted to the shutdown voltage switching circuit to control the voltage switching of the second stage of shutdown; the other path is transmitted to the second input of the second OR gate to maintain the clock signal driving the timer until the shutdown process ends.

[0069] In this embodiment, the turn-on voltage switching circuit and the turn-off voltage switching circuit receive the t1 and t2 signals output by the turn-on stage timing circuit and the t3 and t4 signals output by the turn-off stage timing circuit, respectively. Combined with the voltage inputs from the power supply voltage terminal VCC, the turn-on reference voltage port VONREF, and the turn-off reference voltage port VOFFREF, and according to the characteristic requirements of different IGBT switching stages, they output adaptive drive voltages to the first drive output terminal G (IGBT gate) and the second drive output terminal E (IGBT emitter). The specific circuit working principle is as follows:
