[0040] In the following, the embodiments of the present disclosure shown in the accompanying drawings will be described in detail, in which the same or similar reference numerals throughout indicate the same or similar elements, or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are illustrative intended to explain the present disclosure, and are not to be construed as limiting the present disclosure.

[0041] In order to clearly describe the method, device, and switching transistor drive control circuit for determining a negative turn-off voltage of a switching transistor according to the embodiments of the present disclosure, the following description will be given with reference to the schematic flow diagram of the method for determining a negative turn-off voltage of a switching transistor shown in Fig. 1. As shown in Fig. 1, the method for determining a negative turn-off voltage of a switching transistor according to the embodiments of the present disclosure includes the following steps:

[0042] Step S11 is a step of determining a first turn-off negative voltage model and a second turn-off negative voltage model.

[0043] Step S13 is a step of obtaining the turn-off gate resistance and the turn-on gate resistance of the switching transistor, obtaining the bus voltage, and obtaining the minimum turn-on voltage and the maximum negative voltage absolute value that can be tolerated of the switching transistor.

[0044] Step S15 is a step of inputting the turn-off gate resistance, turn-on gate resistance, bus voltage, and minimum turn-on voltage into a first turn-off negative voltage model to obtain an upper limit absolute value of the turn-off negative voltage of the switching transistor, and inputting the turn-off gate resistance, turn-on gate resistance, bus voltage, and the tolerable maximum negative voltage absolute value into a second turn-off negative voltage model to obtain a lower limit absolute value of the turn-off negative voltage of the switching transistor.

[0045] Step S17 is a step of determining a turn-off negative voltage section of the switching transistor based on the turn-off negative voltage upper limit absolute value and the turn-off negative voltage lower limit absolute value.

[0046] According to the method for determining the turn-off negative voltage of a switching transistor of the embodiment of the present disclosure, the turn-off gate resistance, turn-on gate resistance, bus voltage, and minimum turn-on voltage of the switching transistor obtained are input to a first turn-off negative voltage model to obtain an upper limit absolute value of the turn-off negative voltage of the switching transistor, the turn-off gate resistance, turn-on gate resistance, bus voltage, and maximum negative voltage absolute value that the switching transistor can withstand are input to a second turn-off negative voltage model to obtain a lower limit absolute value of the turn-off negative voltage of the switching transistor, and further, a turn-off negative voltage section of the switching transistor is accurately determined based on the upper limit absolute value of the turn-off negative voltage of the switching transistor and the lower limit absolute value of the turn-off negative voltage of the switching transistor. By using this turn-off negative voltage section to perform negative voltage turn-off control on the switching transistor, erroneous turn-on of the switching transistor can be effectively prevented, and the switching transistor can be protected and its service life can be extended.

[0047] Although the method of applying a turn-off negative voltage to the gate can be used to prevent the switching transistor from being erroneously turned on, if the upper absolute value of the turn-off negative voltage is set too small, the switching transistor may still be erroneously turned on in some cases. If the lower absolute value of the turn-off negative voltage is set too large, the negative voltage spike exceeds the lower absolute value of the driving negative voltage allowed by the switching transistor, which may reduce the life of the switching transistor and even damage the switch, so it is necessary to accurately determine the turn-off negative voltage section of the switching transistor.

[0048] Specifically, the first turn-off negative voltage model can be used to determine the turn-off negative voltage upper limit absolute value of the switching transistor, and the expression format of the first turn-off negative voltage model includes, but is not limited to, a neural network model, a data mapping diagram / table, a mathematical relational formula, etc. When the first turn-off negative voltage model is a neural network model, the input of the neural network model can include the turn-off gate resistance, the turn-on gate resistance, the bus voltage, and the minimum turn-on voltage of the switching transistor, and the output of the neural network model can include the turn-off negative voltage upper limit absolute value of the switching transistor, so that after obtaining the turn-off gate resistance, the turn-on gate resistance, the bus voltage, and the minimum turn-on voltage of the switching transistor, the turn-off gate resistance, the turn-on gate resistance, the bus voltage, and the minimum turn-on voltage can be input into the neural network model to quickly obtain a corresponding more accurate turn-off negative voltage upper limit absolute value of the switching transistor. When the first turn-off negative voltage model is a data mapping chart / table, the data mapping chart / table may include turn-off negative voltage upper limit absolute values ​​of switching transistors corresponding to predetermined turn-off gate resistances, turn-on gate resistances, bus voltages and minimum turn-on voltages of different switching transistors, so that after obtaining the turn-off gate resistances, turn-on gate resistances, bus voltages and minimum turn-on voltages of the switching transistors, a corresponding more accurate turn-off negative voltage upper limit absolute value of the switching transistor can be quickly obtained by consulting the data mapping chart / table.When the first turn-off negative voltage model is a mathematical relational expression, this mathematical relational expression can indicate the relationship between the turn-off gate resistance, turn-on gate resistance, bus voltage, and minimum turn-on voltage of the switching transistor and the turn-off negative voltage upper limit absolute value of the switching transistor, so that after obtaining the turn-off gate resistance, turn-on gate resistance, bus voltage, and minimum turn-on voltage of the switching transistor, the turn-off negative voltage upper limit absolute value of the corresponding switching transistor can be obtained from this mathematical relational expression.

[0049] The second turn-off negative voltage model can be used to determine the turn-off negative voltage lower limit absolute value of the switching transistor, and the expression form of the second turn-off negative voltage model includes, but is not limited to, a neural network model, a data mapping diagram / table, a mathematical relational formula, etc. When the second turn-off negative voltage model is a neural network model, the input of the neural network model can include the turn-off gate resistance, the turn-on gate resistance, the bus voltage, and the maximum negative voltage absolute value that can be tolerated of the switching transistor, and the output of the neural network model can include the turn-off negative voltage lower limit absolute value of the switching transistor, so that after obtaining the turn-off gate resistance, the turn-on gate resistance, the bus voltage, and the maximum negative voltage absolute value that can be tolerated of the switching transistor, the turn-off gate resistance, the turn-on gate resistance, the bus voltage, and the maximum negative voltage absolute value that can be tolerated can be input into the neural network model to quickly obtain a corresponding more accurate turn-off negative voltage lower limit absolute value of the switching transistor. When the second turn-off negative voltage model is a data mapping chart / table, the data mapping chart / table may include turn-off negative voltage lower limit absolute values ​​of switching transistors corresponding to predetermined turn-off gate resistances, turn-on gate resistances, bus voltages and maximum negative voltage absolute values ​​that can be tolerated of different switching transistors, so that after obtaining the turn-off gate resistances, turn-on gate resistances, bus voltages and maximum negative voltage absolute values ​​that can be tolerated of the switching transistors, a corresponding more accurate turn-off negative voltage lower limit absolute value of the switching transistor can be quickly obtained by consulting the data mapping chart / table.When the second turn-off negative voltage model is a mathematical relational expression, this mathematical relational expression can show the relationship between the turn-off gate resistance, turn-on gate resistance, bus voltage, and the maximum negative voltage absolute value that can be tolerated of the switching transistor and the turn-off negative voltage lower limit absolute value of the switching transistor. Therefore, after obtaining the turn-off gate resistance, turn-on gate resistance, bus voltage, and the maximum negative voltage absolute value that can be tolerated of the switching transistor, the turn-off negative voltage lower limit absolute value of the corresponding switching transistor can be obtained from this mathematical relational expression.

[0050] In some embodiments, the corresponding first turn-off negative voltage model and second turn-off negative voltage model may be determined according to the model number of the switching transistor. The expression formats of the first turn-off negative voltage models of switching transistors of different model numbers may be the same or different, and the expression formats of the second turn-off negative voltage models of switching transistors of different model numbers may be the same or different, but are not limited here. In some embodiments, the first turn-off negative voltage model and the second turn-off negative voltage model of switching transistors of the same model number are expressed in the same format.

[0051] It is to be noted that the turn-off negative voltage is a negative number, and the turn-off negative voltage section is a section that takes on the value of the turn-off negative voltage, that is, it can be understood that the numbers in the turn-off negative voltage section are all negative numbers.

[0052] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the first turn-off negative voltage model is expressed by the following equation (1).

[0053] (Number 1) V SS_min =λ1*f1(R G_on ,R G_off ,V DC )-V th (1)

[0054] Here, V SS_minis the absolute upper limit of the turn-off negative voltage, λ1 is the first derating parameter, and f1(R G_on ,R G_off ,V DC ) is the function corresponding to the first turn-off negative voltage model, and R G_on is the turn-on gate resistance, and R G_off is the turn-off gate resistance, and V DC is the bus voltage, V th is the minimum turn-on voltage.

[0055] In this way, the relationship between the turn-off gate resistance, turn-on gate resistance, bus voltage, and minimum turn-on voltage of the switching transistor and the absolute value of the upper limit of the turn-off negative voltage of the switching transistor can be clearly expressed by the above formula (1).

[0056] Specifically, the turn-off gate resistance can be understood to be a total resistance value of the turn-off circuit when the switching transistor is turned off, and the turn-on gate resistance can be understood to be a total resistance value of the turn-on circuit when the switching transistor is turned on.

[0060] In one example, the minimum turn-on voltage of the switching transistor is 1.5V, the bus voltage is 900V, the selected turn-on gate resistance is 40Ω, and the selected turn-off gate resistance is 20Ω, and using equation (2), we can obtain the turn-off negative voltage upper limit absolute value which is 2.44V, i.e., the turn-off negative voltage of the switching transistor should be less than −2.44V.

[0061] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the second turn-off negative voltage model is expressed by the following equation (3):

[0062] (Number 3) V SS_max =V GS_max -λ2*f2(R G_on ,R G_off ,V DC ) ···(3)

[0063] Here, V SS_max is the absolute value of the lower limit of the turn-off negative voltage, λ2 is the second derating parameter, and f2(R G_on ,R G_off ,V DC ) is the function corresponding to the second turn-off negative voltage model, and R G_on is the turn-on gate resistance, and R G_off is the turn-off gate resistance, and V DC is the bus voltage, V GS_max is the maximum absolute negative voltage that can be tolerated.

[0064] In this way, the relationship between the turn-off gate resistance, turn-on gate resistance, bus voltage, and the absolute value of the maximum negative voltage that can be tolerated of the switching transistor and the absolute value of the upper limit of the turn-off negative voltage of the switching transistor can be clearly expressed by the above formula (3).

[0065] Specifically, the turn-off gate resistance can be understood to be the total resistance value of the turn-off circuit when the switching transistor is turned off, and the turn-on gate resistance can be understood to be the total resistance value of the turn-on circuit when the switching transistor is turned on. In some embodiments, the tolerable maximum negative voltage absolute value can be obtained by querying corresponding data based on a specific model number of the switching transistor. In some embodiments, the second derating parameter can be obtained by querying corresponding derating criteria based on a specific model number of the resistor. In some embodiments, the bus voltage can be obtained via a bus voltage measuring device.

[0066] In some embodiments, the relationship between the turn-off negative voltage lower limit absolute value and the turn-on gate resistance, the turn-off gate resistance and the bus voltage is shown in Figure 3. It can be understood that when the turn-on gate resistance, the turn-off gate resistance and the bus voltage of the input of the second turn-off negative voltage model change, the turn-off negative voltage lower limit absolute value of the output of the second turn-off negative voltage model also changes accordingly; furthermore, by substituting different turn-on gate resistances, different turn-off gate resistances, different bus voltages and corresponding turn-off negative voltage lower limit absolute values ​​into the above equation (3), multiple different polynomials can be obtained, and through polynomial fitting, the following specific equation (4) of the second turn-off negative voltage model can be obtained:

[0067] (Number 4) V SS_max =V GS_max +d2*R G_on +d3*R G_off +d4*V DC +d5*R G_on 2 +d6*R G_off 2 +d7*V DC 2 +d8*R G_on *R G_off +d9*R G_off *V DC +d 10 *R G_off *V DC(4)

[0069] In one example, the maximum negative voltage that the switching transistor can withstand is −9V, i.e., the absolute value of the maximum negative voltage that the switching transistor can withstand is 9V, the bus voltage is 900V, the selected turn-on gate resistance is 40Ω, and the selected turn-off gate resistance is 20Ω; using equation (4), we can obtain the turn-off negative voltage lower limit absolute value which is 4.96V, i.e., the turn-off negative voltage of the switching transistor should be greater than −4.96V.

[0070] With reference to FIG. 4, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, step S17 further includes the following steps.

[0071] Step S171 is a step of setting the negative value of the turn-off negative voltage upper limit absolute value as the turn-off negative voltage upper limit voltage, and setting the negative value of the turn-off negative voltage lower limit absolute value as the turn-off negative voltage lower limit voltage.

[0072] Step S173 is a step of determining a turn-off negative voltage section from the turn-off negative voltage lower limit voltage and the turn-off negative voltage upper limit voltage.

[0073] This makes it possible to more accurately obtain the turn-off negative voltage section of the switching transistor, turn off the switching transistor when the gate voltage of the switching transistor is within the turn-off negative voltage section, and effectively prevent erroneous turn-on of the switching transistor.

[0074] Specifically, the turn-off negative voltage upper limit absolute value can be understood as the absolute value of the turn-off negative voltage upper limit, and the turn-off negative voltage lower limit absolute value can be understood as the absolute value of the turn-off negative voltage lower limit. In other words, since the turn-off negative voltage upper limit absolute value and the turn-off negative voltage lower limit absolute value are both positive values ​​and the turn-off negative voltage of the switching transistor is a negative value, the negative value of the turn-off negative voltage upper limit absolute value is the turn-off negative voltage upper limit voltage, and the negative value of the turn-off negative voltage lower limit absolute value is the turn-off negative voltage lower limit voltage. Therefore, the turn-off negative voltage section is determined from the turn-off negative voltage lower limit voltage and the turn-off negative voltage upper limit voltage, and it is guaranteed that the turn-off negative voltage of the selected switching transistor is equal to or greater than the turn-off negative voltage lower limit voltage and the turn-off negative voltage of the switching transistor is equal to or less than the turn-off negative voltage upper limit voltage.

[0075] In one example, the minimum turn-on voltage of the switching transistor is 1.5V, the maximum negative voltage that the switching transistor can withstand is -9V, i.e., the absolute value of the maximum negative voltage that the switching transistor can withstand is 9V, the bus voltage is 900V, the selected turn-on gate resistance is 40Ω, and the selected turn-off gate resistance is 20Ω; the absolute value of the upper limit of the turn-off negative voltage can be obtained to be 2.44V using equation (2), i.e., the upper limit voltage of the turn-off negative voltage of the switching transistor is -2.44V; the absolute value of the lower limit of the turn-off negative voltage of the switching transistor can be obtained to be 4.96V using equation (4), i.e., the lower limit voltage of the turn-off negative voltage of the switching transistor is -4.96V; therefore, the turn-off negative voltage section of the switching transistor is determined to be [-4.96V, -2.44V].

[0076] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the switching transistor is a silicon carbide MOS transistor.

[0077] In this way, according to the above method, the turn-off negative voltage section can be determined more accurately, so that the erroneous turn-on of the silicon carbide MOS transistor can be effectively prevented, the silicon carbide MOS transistor can be protected, and the service life of the silicon carbide MOS transistor can be extended. It can be understood that the silicon carbide MOS transistor is prone to erroneous turn-on due to its fast switching speed and low minimum turn-on voltage.
