[0061] Working principle: The signals PWM_H and PWM_L output by the main control unit are output as the upper bridge drive signal PWM_H1 and the lower bridge drive signal PWM_L1 after passing through the buffer. Taking the upper bridge drive as an example, PWM_H1 and PWM_L1 are respectively input to PIN_6 and PIN_7 of the first driver chip U2. When PWM_H1 is low and PWM_L1 is high, the primary diode of the first driver chip U2 is turned on, and the outputs of PIN_10 and PIN_11 of the first driver chip U2 are high level. The first switch tube Q1 is turned on, and the second switch tube Q2 is turned off. The first positive drive power supply output terminal VCC_T charges the first capacitor C7 through the first resistor Ron_T. When the voltage across the first capacitor C7 reaches the turn-on threshold voltage, the output terminal IGBT_T of the upper bridge 400 of the IGBT is turned on; when PWM_H1 is high and PWM_L1 is When the voltage is low, the primary diode of the first driver chip U2 is cut off, the PIN_10 and PIN_11 outputs of the first driver chip U2 are low level, the first switch tube Q1 is cut off, the second switch tube Q2 is turned on, and the first negative drive power supply output terminal VEE_T discharges the first capacitor C7 through the second resistor Roff_T. When the voltage across the first capacitor C7 is lower than the threshold voltage, the output terminal IGBT_T of the IGBT upper bridge 400 is turned off, and the low level of the drive signal is valid; wherein, the first bidirectional TVS tube D7 is used to clamp the gate-level drive voltage to prevent the IGBT module from being damaged due to excessive short-circuit current; the fifth resistor R5 can accelerate the shutdown of the IGBT module to further ensure fast shutdown. PIN_14 of the first driver chip U2 can realize module desaturation detection. When the IGBT module operates normally, the Vce saturation voltage drop is about 2V, and the first diode D4 is turned on. At this time, the first positive drive power output terminal VCC_T charges the collector of the IGBT module through the ninth resistor R10, and the voltage across the third capacitor C2 is clamped and lower than the desaturation action threshold voltage; when the upper and lower bridges of the IGBT module are directly connected and the bridge arm is short-circuited, Vce exits the saturation area and quickly rises to the bus voltage, the first diode D4 is reversely cut off, and the first positive drive power output terminal VCC_T charges the third capacitor C2 through the ninth resistor R10. The voltage across the third capacitor C2 rises to the threshold voltage. When the PIN_14 of the first driver chip U2 detects the voltage, the driver chip performs hardware sealing and outputs a fault detection signal to the host computer. The driving and protection logic of the lower bridge drive signal is consistent with the upper bridge drive principle, and will not be repeated.
