[0020] Please refer to Figure 1 This diagram illustrates a structural schematic of a bridge-type bridging capacitor voltage regulation module circuit according to an embodiment of this application. The bridge-type bridging capacitor voltage regulation module circuit includes a voltage divider converter module 10 and a transformer module 20. The voltage divider converter module 10 includes an input power supply. Two voltage divider capacitors and Two sets of half-bridge circuits 11 and 12, and two bridging capacitors. and Each half-bridge circuit includes two first switching transistors.

[0021] For example, the half-bridge circuit 11 includes a first switching transistor. and The half-bridge circuit 12 includes a first switching transistor. and .

[0022] One of the voltage divider capacitors has its positive side connected to the positive terminal of the input power supply, one of the voltage divider capacitors has its negative side connected to the positive side of the other voltage divider capacitor, and the other voltage divider capacitor has its negative side connected to the negative terminal of the input power supply.

[0023] For example, voltage divider capacitors The positive polarity side and the input power supply The positive terminal is connected to the voltage divider capacitor. The negative polarity side and the voltage divider capacitor The positive side is connected to the voltage divider capacitor. The negative polarity side and the input power supply The negative terminal connection.

[0024] Each half-bridge circuit corresponds to one voltage divider capacitor, one end of one of the first switching transistors is connected to the positive side of the voltage divider capacitor, the other end of one of the first switching transistors is connected to one end of another first switching transistor, and the other end of the other first switching transistor is connected to the negative side of the voltage divider capacitor.

[0025] For example, the half-bridge circuit 11 corresponds to the voltage divider capacitor. First switching transistor One end is connected to the voltage divider capacitor The positive side is connected, and the first switching transistor is connected. The other end is connected to the first switching transistor One end is connected to the first switching transistor. The other end is connected to the voltage divider capacitor. The negative side is connected. The voltage divider capacitor corresponding to half-bridge circuit 12. First switching transistor One end is connected to the voltage divider capacitor The positive side is connected, and the first switching transistor is connected. The other end is connected to the first switching transistor One end is connected to the first switching transistor. The other end is connected to the voltage divider capacitor. The negative polarity side is connected.

[0026] In some embodiments, the first switching transistor is an N-channel gallium nitride field-effect transistor, i.e., the first switching transistor. , , and All are N-channel gallium nitride field-effect transistors. Therefore, the first switching transistor... Drain and voltage divider capacitor The positive side is connected, and the first switching transistor is connected.

Source and voltage divider capacitor The negative side is connected to the first switching transistor. Drain and voltage divider capacitor The positive side is connected, therefore the first switching transistor The source and the first switch transistor The drain is also connected.

[0028] The positive side of one of the bridging capacitors is connected between the two first switching transistors in one set of the half-bridge circuits, and the negative side of the other bridging capacitor is connected between the two first switching transistors in another set of the half-bridge circuits.

The charge balance of the bridging capacitor ensures that the average current sharing among the switches is equal, and all switches experience reduced voltage stress. Because one switch in each half-bridge circuit is turned on when the bridge-type bridging capacitor voltage regulation module circuit is working, multiple switches in multiple half-bridge circuits are always connected in parallel. Thus, the step-down ratio can be shared by the bridging capacitor to achieve segmented step-down, effectively reducing the voltage stress and switching losses of single-stage power transistors. This allows the system to maintain high conversion efficiency even in high step-down ratio scenarios, while reducing the size of magnetic components and increasing power density. It demonstrates significant engineering application value and is particularly suitable for power supply systems of next-generation AI data center chips.

[0037] In some embodiments, the second switching transistor is an N-channel gallium nitride field-effect transistor, i.e., the second switching transistor. , , and All are N-channel gallium nitride field-effect transistors. Therefore, the DC blocking capacitor...
