Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of power electronic drive, and in particular relates to a silicon carbide MOSFET active Miller clamp circuit. Background Art
[0002] Silicon carbide MOSFETs are mostly used in high voltage and high switching rate situations. Due to its own properties, its dv / dt during switching is significantly higher than that of ordinary silicon-based MOSFETs. Taking a bridge circuit as an example, for the switching devices in the circuit, when the upper tube is quickly turned on and the lower tube is turned off, the Vds of the lower tube will rise rapidly, and the dv / dt will generate a high current on the Miller parasitic capacitor, which will cause a small spike in the gate voltage through the lower tube gate turn-off resistor Rgoff. Since the dv / dt of the silicon carbide MOSFET switching process is much higher than that of ordinary silicon-based MOSFETs, the gate voltage spike generated is higher than that of ordinary silicon-based MOSFETs. The threshold voltage of silicon carbide MOSFETs is generally 2V to 5V. If the voltage rise caused by crosstalk during this process exceeds the threshold voltage of the silicon carbide MOSFET, it will cause the lower bridge arm to be turned on by mistake, resulting in the upper and lower bridge arms being directly connected, causing serious consequences such as system short circuit damage.
[0003] At present, in order to suppress the mis-turning on of silicon carbide MOSFET, the gate-level drive circuit and power circuit are mainly used. By increasing the gate-level turn-on resistance Rgon to reduce the switching speed, dv / dt is reduced; reducing the gate-level turn-off resistance Rgoff to reduce the voltage spike caused by crosstalk; adding a small capacitor between the gate and the source to reduce the influence of Miller capacitance. Although the above method effectively suppresses crosstalk, it also reduces the switching speed and increases the loss. The negative voltage shutdown method can effectively suppress it, but the voltage spike caused by crosstalk is too large and can also cause mis-turning on. Utility Model Content
