[0003] Traditional high-power device drive systems have significant drawbacks. In terms of control, most systems employ a rather crude approach to power switch dead time control, using a fixed dead time setting. However, actual operating conditions are complex and variable, and a fixed dead time is difficult to adapt to different loads, voltages, and temperature conditions. This can easily lead to shoot-through of the upper and lower bridge arm power switches, causing short-circuit faults, seriously threatening system safety, and reducing device lifespan.

[0004] In signal transmission, the PWM signal between the control unit and the power switch unit often lacks effective electrical isolation. This makes the weak electrical signal on the control side susceptible to strong electrical interference from the power side, and ground noise can couple into the control signal, causing signal distortion, affecting the precise control of the power switch, resulting in a decrease in power conversion efficiency and failing to meet the high-quality power requirements of external devices.

[0014] Secondly, the present invention provides a driving method for high-power devices based on a half-bridge topology, comprising: S1. The control unit collects the real-time operating parameters of the system where the high-power circuit is located. The real-time operating parameters include at least the operating voltage, operating current, device temperature and load status of the high-power circuit. Based on the collected real-time operating parameters, the control unit calculates the optimal dead time to adapt to the current operating conditions through a preset algorithm, and generates the corresponding PWM control signal according to the optimal dead time.

After normalization processing, these parameters are input into a weighted algorithm to calculate the optimal dead time, and a PWM control signal is generated accordingly, completely abandoning the traditional fixed dead time design. This dynamic adjustment mechanism can accurately adapt to different operating conditions: when the load increases, voltage fluctuates, or temperature rises, it automatically optimizes the dead time to avoid shoot-through short circuits in the upper and lower bridge arm switches of the half-bridge, significantly reducing the risk of short-circuit faults. At the same time, it reduces switching losses caused by improper dead time settings, extends the service life of core components such as power MOSFETs, and ensures long-term stable operation of the system.

The positive terminal of Zener diode D2 and the second terminal of resistor R7 are both connected to the second pin of connector H1 and the second pin of output interface J2. The isolation driver circuit is connected to the power switch unit through output interface J2. The isolation driver chip U1 is an isolated gate driver of model UCC21520DW.

[0029] PWM Interface J1: This serves as the connection port between the control unit and the isolated drive circuit, used for inputting PWM signals.

[0030] Resistors R1, R2, and R3: These serve as input matching resistors to adjust the signal impedance and prevent reflection interference.

[0031] Isolation driver chip U1: It adopts the UCC21520DW isolated gate driver. This chip has dual-channel output, high isolation voltage and adjustable dead time function, and is the core component for realizing signal isolation.

[0037] The isolated drive unit achieves complete electrical isolation between the control side and the power side through a dual isolation design of "isolation drive circuit + power isolation circuit": On the one hand, it uses an isolated gate driver (model UCC21520DW) and a signal conditioning circuit composed of resistors and capacitors to isolate the PWM signal transmission, preventing strong electrical noise from the power side from coupling to the weak electrical signal on the control side; on the other hand, the power isolation circuit provides independent isolated power supplies to different pins of the isolation drive chip through two power isolation chips, U2 and U3, and further stabilizes the power supply through capacitor filtering, completely cutting off the ground noise propagation path.

[0041] R9 and R13 are used to limit the forward drive current output from the isolation drive unit to the gate of the MOSFET, so as to avoid the gate charge being injected too quickly, which would cause abnormal switching speed of the MOSFET (e.g., excessive di / dt during turn-on, resulting in voltage spikes).

[0042] R10 and R14, together with Zener diodes D3 and D5, limit the reverse gate voltage and prevent reverse breakdown of the MOSFET gate and source.

[0043] Zener diodes D3 and D5 have their anodes connected to the gate of the MOSFET and their cathodes connected to resistors R10 / R14.

This is used to clamp the turn-off voltage spike at the drain of the MOSFET and protect the drain and source of the MOSFET.

[0044] Bidirectional suppression diodes (TVS1, TVS2): Connected in parallel between the gate and source of the MOSFET, these fast recovery diodes provide a fast turn-off path. When the driver chip requires the MOSFET to turn off, the bidirectional suppression diodes can quickly discharge the gate charge, accelerating the turn-off process and reducing turn-off losses.

[0045] Gate discharge resistors (R11, R15): Connected in parallel between the gate and source of the MOSFET, they are used to quickly discharge residual gate charge when the drive signal is disconnected, ensuring reliable turn-off of the MOSFET and avoiding turn-off delay due to residual gate charge.

[0046] C15, C16, together with R12, R16, form an RC snubber network to absorb high-frequency voltage spikes at the drain of the MOSFET (such as dv / dt noise during switching). R12 and R16 limit the charging and discharging current of the RC network to prevent the capacitor from generating excessive current and damaging the component when absorbing voltage spikes.

[0047] The upper and lower bridge arms of the power switching unit are equipped with multiple protection circuits consisting of gate resistors, Zener diodes, TVS diodes and capacitors. These circuits can effectively suppress voltage spikes during the switching process, absorb reverse recovery charges, clamp the gate voltage, protect the MOSFET from breakdown or false triggering, and extend the service life of the power devices.
