[0017] The single-phase full-bridge three-level ANPC topology comprises a first capacitor C1, a second capacitor C2, and a third capacitor C3, a first switch tube Q1, a second switch tube Q2, a third switch tube Q3, a fourth switch tube Q4, a fifth switch tube Q5, a sixth switch tube Q6, a seventh switch tube Q7, an eighth switch tube Q8, a ninth switch tube Q9, a tenth switch tube Q10, an eleventh switch tube Q11, a twelfth switch tube Q12, and an inductor L. The first capacitor C1 and the second capacitor C2 are used as voltage dividing capacitors, and the third capacitor C3 functions with the inductor L to form an LC filter circuit. The first capacitor C1 and the second capacitor C2 are connected in series between the positive electrode V+ and the negative electrode V-, the first switch tube Q1, the second switch tube Q2, the third switch tube Q3, and the fourth switch tube Q4 are connected in series between the positive electrode V+ and the negative electrode V-, the seventh switch tube Q7, the eighth switch tube Q8, the ninth switch tube Q9, and the tenth switch tube Q10 are connected in series between the positive electrode V+ and the negative electrode V-, the fifth switch tube Q5 and the sixth switch tube Q6 are connected in series, the drain electrode of the fifth switch tube Q5 is connected to the connection point of the first switch tube Q1 and the second switch tube Q2, the source electrode of the sixth switch tube Q6 is connected to the connection point of the third switch tube Q3 and the fourth switch tube Q4, the eleventh switch tube Q11 and the twelfth switch tube Q12 are connected in series, the drain electrode of the eleventh switch tube Q11 is connected to the connection point of the seventh switch tube Q7 and the eighth switch tube Q8, the source electrode of the twelfth switch tube Q12 is connected to the connection point of the ninth switch tube Q9 and the tenth switch tube Q10, and the third capacitor C3 and the inductor L are connected in series, with the two ends of the series connection being connected to the series connection point of the fifth switch tube Q5 and the sixth switch tube Q6 and the series connection point of the eleventh switch tube Q11 and the twelfth switch tube Q12, respectively.

[0018] The output signals S1A, S4A of the first logic chip U1 and the output signals S1A, S2A, S3A, S4A, S5A, S6A of the second logic chip U2 control the first switch tube Q1, the second switch tube Q2, the third switch tube Q3, the fourth switch tube Q4, the fifth switch tube Q5, and the sixth switch tube Q6, and simultaneously control the tenth switch tube Q10, the ninth switch tube Q9, the eighth switch tube Q8, the seventh switch tube Q7, the twelfth switch tube Q12, and the eleventh switch tube Q11.

[0019] The circuit composed of the first switch tube Q1, the second switch tube Q2, the fifth switch tube Q5, the ninth switch tube Q9, the tenth switch tube Q10 and the twelfth switch tube Q12 is in the active state in the positive half cycle, and the circuit composed of the third switch tube Q3, the fourth switch tube Q4, the sixth switch tube Q6, the seventh switch tube Q7, the eighth switch tube Q8 and the eleventh switch tube Q11 is in the active state in the negative half cycle. The fifth switch tube Q5 and the sixth switch tube Q6 and the eleventh switch tube Q11 and the twelfth switch tube Q12 are slow switches, and the inductor L is connected to the first switch tube Q1, the second switch tube Q2, the ninth switch tube Q9 and the tenth switch tube Q10 or the third switch tube Q3, the fourth switch tube Q4, the seventh switch tube Q7 and the eighth switch tube Q8 in the positive half cycle and the negative half cycle respectively. Each high-frequency switch tube operates as a synchronous buck converter in the corresponding half cycle. In the working condition in the positive half cycle, the fifth switch tube Q5 and the twelfth switch tube Q12 are kept in the open state in the whole half cycle. When the first switch tube Q1 and the fourth switch tube Q4 are opened, the circuit is in the active mode, and the current from V+ to the inductor L is established, and since the first switch tube Q1, the fifth switch tube Q5, the fourth switch tube Q4 and the twelfth switch tube Q12 are all connected, the switching node of the inductor L is connected to V+. At this time, the sixth switch tube Q6, the fourth switch tube Q4, the seventh switch tube Q7 and the eleventh switch tube Q11 must bear the full bus voltage together. In order to avoid uneven distribution of the bus voltage among these devices (due to device parasitic unevenness), the third switch tube Q3 and the eighth switch tube Q8 are also kept open, so that the center node is connected to the neutral point, and the voltage is evenly distributed between the sixth switch tube Q6 and the fourth switch tube Q4, and the voltage is evenly distributed between the seventh switch tube Q7 and the eleventh switch tube Q11, and when the first switch tube Q1, the third switch tube Q3, the eighth switch tube Q8 and the tenth switch tube Q10 are simultaneously closed in the dead time of this state, the current of the inductor L can only flow through the body diode (kept open) of the second switch tube Q2, the fifth switch tube Q5, the ninth switch tube Q9 and the twelfth switch tube Q12. In the freewheeling mode, the second switch tube Q2 and the ninth switch tube Q9 act as synchronous diodes, and the switching node of the inductor L is connected to the neutral point. There is only half of the bus voltage between the sixth switch tube Q6 and the fourth switch tube Q4, and there is only half of the bus voltage between the seventh switch tube Q7 and the eleventh switch tube Q11, so the third switch tube Q3 and the eighth switch tube Q8 do not need to be kept on to achieve voltage balance.

[0020] In addition, the operation in the negative half cycle is similar to the operation in the positive half cycle. The sixth switch Q6 and the eleventh switch Q11 remain on for the entire duration of the negative half cycle. The inductor L is connected to V- through the fourth switch Q4, the sixth switch Q6, the seventh switch Q7, the eleventh switch Q11 in the mode of operation, similar to the operation in the positive half cycle. The second switch Q2 and the ninth switch Q9 also remain on in this mode of operation to balance the voltage stress between the first switch Q1 and the fifth switch Q5, and between the tenth switch Q10 and the twelfth switch Q12. In the freewheeling mode, the inductor L current is maintained through the third switch Q3, the sixth switch Q6, the eighth switch Q8, the eleventh switch Q11 to connect the inductor L switching node to the neutral point.

[0021] The utility model discloses a design is reasonable, and the unique structure reduces the PWM channel resource consumption of MCU, effectively solve the problem of the PWM channel resource shortage, and the utility model discloses a device required circuit element is less, and uses conventional logic device, and electromagnetic interference is relatively less, reduces the noise pollution, has higher security.

[0022] Finally, it needs to be emphasized that the above-mentioned is only the preferred embodiment of the utility model, and does not limit the utility model, for the person skilled in the art, the utility model can have various changes and changes, any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement etc. that is done within the spirit and principle of the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
