Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to power converter technical field, concretely relates to DCDC converter, power equipment based on millimeter wave isolation. BACKGROUND
[0002] A full-bridge DC-DC converter is a power electronic device used to convert a DC voltage into another DC voltage. The full-bridge structure uses four switching devices (such as MOSFET or IGBT), which can achieve high-efficiency power conversion and support bidirectional current flow. Such converters are widely used in electric vehicles, renewable energy systems, and power supply fields.
[0003] A full-bridge DC-DC converter is typically composed of four switching devices, which are connected between the two poles of an input DC power source. These switches can be MOSFET, IGBT, SiC, GaN, etc., used to control the on-off and direction of current flow; through appropriate control signals, the upper and lower bridge arms are alternately turned on and off, forming a controllable circuit structure. The working principle of the full-bridge drive circuit is based on pulse width modulation (PWM) technology, which adjusts the on-time and off-time of the switching tube to control the size and waveform of the output voltage.
[0004] In recent years, with the growth of sales of environmentally friendly vehicles, power devices such as IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) or SiC (Silicon Carbide), GaN (Gallium Nitride) are increasingly used to drive switching devices for electric or hybrid vehicle systems that use high-voltage signals (such as motor drives or high-voltage conversions).
[0005] MOSFET / IGBT / SiC / GaN gate drive chips in the prior art may contain isolation media, especially for isolating between the signal receiving circuit and the output circuit inside the IGBT / SiC / GaN gate drive chip. The commonly used isolation media currently include: optocoupler components, NVE magnetic switches, GMR giant magnetoresistance, etc., which can be presented in the form of a separate signal isolator (IC). Among them, the optocoupler is a set of devices that use light as a medium to transmit electrical signals, and its function is to isolate between the input circuit and the output circuit, and to transmit electrical signals through the isolation layer when needed. Optocoupler devices are widely used in electrical isolation, level conversion, drive circuits, and industrial communication, but due to the problem of parasitic input-output capacitance, the optocoupler has weak ability to resist common-mode transient immunity (CMTI); in addition, speed limitation, high power consumption, and component aging are also major problems.

[0046] It can be understood that the full bridge circuit composed of the primary side bridge circuit and the secondary side bridge circuit controls the opening and closing of the switch by the microcontroller, and realizes the regulation of the current and voltage of the load, that is, the output of the secondary side.In this embodiment, the driving control signal output by the microcontroller for controlling the full bridge circuit will drive the switching device of the full bridge circuit in an isolated manner through the millimeter wave isolation gate driver.

[0054] As a preferred example, as shown in Figure 2 The switch tubes S1, S2, S3, S4, S5, S6, S7 and S8 all adopt MOS tubes as a preferred example, as shown in
[0055] The switch tubes S1, S2, S3, S4, S5, S6, S7 and S8 all adopt MOS tubes as a preferred example, as shown in Figure 2 The switch tubes S1, S2, S3, S4, S5, S6, S7 and S8 all adopt MOS tubes as a preferred example, as shown in
[0056] In combination with Figure 2 It is understood that the DCDC converter based on millimeter wave isolation described in the above specific embodiments has the working principle as follows:
[0057] When the PWM1, PWM4, PWM6 and PWM7 pins of the microcontroller output high level, the output high level drive control signal will pass through the millimeter wave isolation gate drive, drive the corresponding switch tube S1, switch tube S4, switch tube S6 and switch tube S7 to turn on, then the current flows from the power input terminal VBUS through the switch tube S1, the primary winding of the transformer and the switch tube S4 to form a current loop; at the same time, the secondary winding current of the transformer flows through the switch tube S6, the load and the switch tube S7 to form a current loop.
[0058] When the PWM2, PWM3, PWM5 and PWM8 pins of the microcontroller output high level, the output high level drive control signal will pass through the millimeter wave isolation gate drive, drive the corresponding switch tube S2, switch tube S3, switch tube S5 and switch tube S8 to turn on, then the current flows from the power input terminal VBUS through the switch tube S2, the primary winding of the transformer and the switch tube S3 to form a current loop; at the same time, the secondary winding current of the transformer flows through the switch tube S5, the load and the switch tube S8 to form a current loop.

[0060] In the following, the working principle of the millimeter wave isolation based DCDC converter provided by the embodiment in driving control will be further described with reference to the variable frequency control waveform diagram of the embodiment. Figure 3
[0061] Here, the dead time is increased for analysis convenience, and the dead time is relatively short compared with the entire cycle in actual application. Figure 3 V gS refers to the voltage difference between the gate and the source in the switch tube, that is, the minimum gate voltage required for conduction; V DS refers to the voltage difference between the drain and the source in the switch tube; V AB is the voltage difference between points A and B; V cr is the voltage difference between the resonant capacitors.
[0062] As can be seen from Figure 3 , in the (t0-t1) time period: the voltage between the drain and the source of the switch tube S1 and the switch tube S4 is approximately 0, and the switch tube S1 and the switch tube S4 realize zero voltage turn-on. Wherein, t1 is the low-voltage side resonant current zero-crossing point, after which the resonant current starts to reverse, at this time the resonant capacitor voltage is maximum.
[0063] In the (t1-t2) time period: the voltage across the transformer is clamped by the output voltage HV, and the energy is transferred from the primary side to the secondary side, and at t2 the energy transfer is completed, and the transformer excitation inductance is added to the resonance.
[0064] In the (t3-t4) time period: at t3, the switch tube S1 and the switch tube S4 start to close, the capacitor Cs1 and the capacitor Cs4 start to charge, and the capacitor Cs2 and the capacitor Cs3 start to discharge, and at t4 the capacitor charging and discharging is completed, and the switch tube S2 and the switch tube S3 are turned on, which has the condition of zero voltage turn-on.
[0065] In the (t4-t5) time period: the switch tube S1 and the switch tube S4 are closed, and the switch tube S2 and the switch tube S4 are turned on, which has the condition of zero voltage turn-on.
[0066] When working in the forward direction, Figure 2 The resonant circuit composed of Lp and Cr of the transformer presents different impedance to different frequency of the fundamental wave, the voltage drop on the resonant circuit changes with the frequency, and the output voltage HV transmitted to the load side changes accordingly, which is the basic principle of the LLC resonant converter to realize frequency regulation gain.
[0067] Similarly, the DCDC converter adopts frequency control, and when working in the reverse mode, the working principle and soft switching process are the same as those of the forward mode.
[0068] Please refer to Figure 4 The second embodiment of the utility model is:
[0069] The embodiment is further extended based on the first embodiment, and the millimeter wave isolation gate driver is refined.
[0070] The DCDC converter based on millimeter wave isolation of the embodiment comprises a master control module, a millimeter wave isolation module and a gate drive control module connected in sequence; a signal input end of the master control module is connected with the microcontroller; the gate drive control module is connected with the primary side bridge circuit and the secondary side bridge circuit respectively.
[0071] The millimeter wave isolation module comprises a millimeter wave transmitter and a millimeter wave receiver; the millimeter wave transmitter comprises a millimeter wave transmitting unit and a millimeter wave transmitting antenna; the millimeter wave receiver comprises a millimeter wave receiving unit and a millimeter wave receiving antenna; the millimeter wave transmitting unit, the millimeter wave transmitting antenna, the millimeter wave receiving antenna and the millimeter wave receiving unit are connected in sequence, wherein the millimeter wave transmitting antenna and the millimeter wave receiving antenna are connected based on millimeter wave technology wireless communication.
[0072] The millimeter wave transmitter is further connected with the master control module; and the millimeter wave receiver is further connected with the gate drive control module.
[0073] In some specific embodiments, as Figure 4 The master control module comprises a first control unit Control Logic and a first level shifting unit Level Shifter on the same side of the millimeter wave transmitter in the figure; the gate drive control module comprises a second control unit Control Logic, a second level shifting unit Level Shifter and a gate drive unit on the same side of the millimeter wave receiver in the figure; the first control unit, the first level shifting unit, the millimeter wave isolation module (i.e. the millimeter wave isolation device in the figure), the second control unit, the second level shifting unit and the gate drive unit are connected in sequence. In addition, the signal input (IN+, IN-) is also connected with the first control unit.
[0074] The above-mentioned millimeter wave isolation gate driver, in combination Figure 4 It is understood that the working principle is as follows:
[0075] The signal input end (IN+, IN-) inputs a signal to the first control unit (i.e. Control Logic on the left side in the figure), and the signal is subjected to logic level conversion by the first level conversion unit (i.e. Level Shifter on the left side in the figure) to obtain an input level signal, and then transmitted to the millimeter wave receiver by the millimeter wave transmitter in a millimeter wave wireless manner. After the millimeter wave receiver receives the output level signal, the output level signal is transmitted to the second control unit (i.e. Control Logic on the right side in the figure). The second control unit submits the input level signal to the second level conversion unit (i.e. Level Shifter on the right side in the figure) for logic level conversion to obtain an output drive signal, and outputs the output drive signal through the drive output end (OUTH, OUTL).
[0076] The signal input end (IN+, IN-) input signal refers to a signal output by a microcontroller to control a transistor in the primary / secondary bridge circuit, such as a PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) signal. The input level signal refers to a signal with high and low levels determined based on the input signal, which can be a square wave signal. The output level signal refers to an output high and low level signal after wireless transmission by the millimeter wave isolation module. The millimeter wave transmission method can avoid the defects of the optical coupling component isolation, thereby ensuring the reliability of the entire circuit from the signal transmission, and achieving normal driving of the transistor in the primary / secondary bridge circuit through the above control.
[0077] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4 The millimeter wave isolation gate driver further includes an Active Shut-down circuit. One end of the Active Shut-down circuit is connected to the power input end VCC2, and the other end is connected to the second level conversion unit (i.e. Level Shifter on the right side in the figure).
[0078] Here, through the Active Shut-down circuit, it can be ensured that all processes or tasks are completed before the converter device is shut down, thereby ensuring the stability of the device system.
[0079] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4As shown, the gate drive unit specifically includes MOS tube Q1, MOS tube Q2 and MOS tube Q3; the gates of the MOS tube Q1, MOS tube Q2 and MOS tube Q3 are connected with the second level conversion unit respectively; the source of the MOS tube Q1 is grounded, the drain is connected with the Active Shut-down circuit and serves as a driving output end OUTL; the sources of the MOS tube Q2 and the MOS tube Q3 are connected and serve as a driving output end OUTH, and the drains thereof are connected with the power input end VCC2 respectively.
[0080] Here, it can be understood that when driving the transistor to be driven, i.e., the primary / secondary bridge circuit, it is mainly divided into high-level driving and low-level driving. Among them, MOS tube Q1 and MOS tube Q2 form a high-level output circuit, and the second level conversion unit can realize high-level output by controlling the gate thereof. The low-level output circuit composed of MOS tube Q3, the second level conversion unit can realize low-level output by controlling the gate thereof. In particular, through the communication of the second control unit and the second level conversion unit, the conduction time of MOS tube Q1, MOS tube Q2 and MOS tube Q3 can be controlled, and the time of outputting high and low levels can be controlled.
[0081] In some specific embodiments, as shown in the figure, Figure 4 As shown, the millimeter wave isolation gate driver further includes a first undervoltage lockout module UVLO1, a first linear voltage regulator LDO1, a second undervoltage lockout module UVLO2 and a second linear voltage regulator LDO2;

[0084] The first under-voltage lock module UVLO1 and the second under-voltage lock module UVLO2 are arranged to feed back and inform when under-voltage or other abnormal conditions occur at the corresponding power input terminal VCC1 and the power input terminal VCC2, thereby controlling the external transistor to be turned off, and ensuring the safety of the circuit.
