[0019] The present application realizes a kind of high-voltage direct-current electronic load circuit, comprising:

Wherein, the resistance values of the N voltage-sharing resistors are the same, and the capacitance values of the N filter capacitors are the same. The resistance values of the voltage-sharing resistors R1 to R5 are as large as possible, and the resistance values of the voltage-sharing resistors are such that the current flowing through the voltage-sharing resistors to form a current path is lower than the current flowing through the power field effect transistor to form a current path by a set order of magnitude.
[0021] N power field effect tubes working in variable resistance region are connected in series from drain to source to a high voltage end of a direct current voltage, wherein a source of the power field effect tube farthest from the high voltage end of the direct current voltage is grounded through a sampling resistor R6. A non-grounded end of the sampling resistor R6 is connected to a current inner loop control circuit realized based on a PI control circuit; an output of the current inner loop control circuit is connected to a gate of the power field effect tube farthest from the high voltage end of the direct current voltage; and gates of the remaining power field effect tubes are connected to far ends of corresponding level equalizing resistors away from the direct current voltage.
[0022] In the specific implementation process, as shown in Figure 1 Figure 1 The high voltage direct current electronic load circuit includes five equalizing resistors connected in series, which are equalizing resistor R1, equalizing resistor R2, equalizing resistor R3, equalizing resistor R4 and equalizing resistor R5, wherein the equalizing resistor R5 is connected to the direct current voltage, and the equalizing resistor R1 is grounded; and the equalizing resistor R1, the equalizing resistor R2, the equalizing resistor R3, the equalizing resistor R4 and the equalizing resistor R5 are respectively connected in parallel with the filter capacitor C1, the filter capacitor C2, the filter capacitor C3, the filter capacitor C4 and the filter capacitor C5.
[0023] Figure 1 The high voltage direct current electronic load circuit includes five power field effect tubes working in variable resistance region and connected in series from drain to source, which are power field effect tube Q1, power field effect tube Q2, power field effect tube Q3, power field effect tube Q4 and power field effect tube Q5, wherein a drain of the power field effect tube Q5 is connected to the direct current voltage, and a source of the power field effect tube Q1 is connected to the sampling resistor R6 which is grounded.
[0024] Figure 1 In the high voltage direct current electronic load circuit, a gate of the power field effect tube Q2 is connected to a far end of the equalizing resistor R2 away from the direct current voltage, a gate of the power field effect tube Q3 is connected to a far end of the equalizing resistor R3 away from the direct current voltage, a gate of the power field effect tube Q4 is connected to a far end of the equalizing resistor R4 away from the direct current voltage, and a gate of the power field effect tube Q5 is connected to a far end of the equalizing resistor R5 away from the direct current voltage.
[0025] Figure 1 In the high voltage direct current electronic load circuit, the PI control circuit includes: a driving power amplifier U1, a PI control resistor R10 and a PI control capacitor C6 connected in series between an inverting input end and an output end of the driving power amplifier U1, a control signal Vdr connected to the inverting input end of the driving power amplifier U1 through a constant resistor R9, a ground connected to a non-inverting input end of the driving power amplifier U1, a coupling resistor R7 connected to the gate of the power field effect tube farthest from the high voltage end of the direct current voltage through the output end of the driving power amplifier U1, and a feedback resistor R8 connected to the non-grounded end of the sampling resistor R6 through the inverting input end of the driving power amplifier U1.
[0026] The principle of the high-voltage direct-current electronic load circuit of the present application is as follows:
[0027] When the driving power amplifier U1 changes the gate-source voltage Vgs of the power field effect tube Q1, the resistance state of the power field effect tube Q1 changes because the resistance value of the field effect tube in the variable resistance region is controlled by the gate-source voltage. The drain voltage of the power field effect tube Q1, that is, the source voltage of the power field effect tube Q2, changes, the gate-source voltage Vgs of the power field effect tube Q2 changes, and the resistance state of the power field effect tube Q2 changes. The drain voltage of the power field effect tube Q2, that is, the source voltage of the power field effect tube Q3, changes, the gate-source voltage Vgs of the power field effect tube Q3 changes, and the resistance state of the power field effect tube Q3 changes. The drain voltage of the power field effect tube Q3, that is, the source voltage of the power field effect tube Q4, changes, the gate-source voltage Vgs of the power field effect tube Q4 changes, and the resistance state of the power field effect tube Q4 changes. The drain voltage of the power field effect tube Q4, that is, the source voltage of the power field effect tube Q5, changes, the gate-source voltage Vgs of the power field effect tube Q5 changes, and the resistance state of the power field effect tube Q5 changes. The final effect is that the resistance state of the power field effect tubes Q2 to Q5 is changed indirectly by directly controlling the power field effect tube Q1. Because the resistances R1 to R5 have the same resistance value, and the gate-source voltage Vgs of the power field effect tube is much smaller than the drain-source voltage Vds, the drain-source voltages Vds of the power field effect tubes Q1 to Q5 are almost the same, and voltage equalization is achieved. The filter capacitors C1 to C5 prevent the sudden influence of interference ripple on the gate-source voltage Vgs of the power field effect tubes Q2 to Q5, prevent the sudden change of the gate-source voltage Vgs, and stabilize the working state of the power field effect tube.
[0028] Let the current flowing through the power field effect tubes in series connection form a current path be I. Because of the existence of the sampling resistor R6, the source voltage of the power field effect tube Q1 is I*R6. When the control reaches a steady state, the control voltage signal Vdr, the source voltage of the power field effect tube Q1, and the output of the PI control circuit have the following relationship:
[0029]
[0030] Obviously:
[0031]
[0032] That is, the control voltage signal Vdr outputted by the control loop is actually the current flowing through the power field effect tube multiplied by a coefficient determined by the feedback resistor R8, the fixed resistor R9 and the sampling resistor R6, that is, the PI control circuit in which the power amplifier U1 is located forms a current inner loop control circuit for controlling the current.
[0033] As can be seen from the above, the high-voltage direct-current electronic load circuit provided by the utility model patent adopts a plurality of power field effect tubes in series, all the power field effect tubes work in a variable resistance region, the PI control circuit directly controls the power field effect tube far away from the direct-current voltage, the PI control circuit is an inner loop of the electronic load formed by the series-connected power field effect tubes, the remaining series-connected power field effect tubes are provided with gate voltages by the voltage-sharing resistors, the resistance state of the low-voltage side power field effect tube changes to drive the change of the source voltage of the high-voltage side power field effect tube, thereby the gate-source voltage Vgs of the high-voltage side power field effect tube changes, and finally the resistance state of the power field effect tube Q2 to the power field effect tube Q5 can be indirectly controlled by directly controlling the power field effect tube Q1. By the way of controlling the power field effect tube by the voltage-sharing resistor, the series-connected power field effect tubes can be kept in the same state, voltage sharing is ensured, and the power field effect tubes can be effectively prevented from being damaged by overvoltage. The high-voltage direct-current electronic load circuit does not need an isolating device, the driving control circuit is relatively simple, and the cost can be effectively reduced.
