Description

MOS group protection method, circuit, equipment and charging and distribution system

[0001] This invention claims priority to Chinese patent application number 202410008513.0, filed with the State Intellectual Property Office of China on January 3, 2024, entitled “MOS Group Protection Method, Circuit, Device and Charging and Distribution System,” the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0002] The present application relates to the field of charging and distribution technology, and specifically to a MOS group protection method, circuit, device and charging and distribution system. Background Art

[0003] New energy vehicles (NEVs) use unconventional automotive fuels as their power source. With societal demands for energy and environmental protection, NEVs are undoubtedly the future of automotive development. Their low-power charging and distribution systems are typically equipped with a full-bridge MOSFET (DC-to-DC converter) stack.

[0004] The DC power output from the target power supply passes through a full-bridge MOS transistor (MOSFET) assembly and a transformer. Two diagonal MOSFETs form a small group, with each group alternating between conducting. The transformer then converts the DC signal into a pulsed electrical signal. Existing DC-DC full-bridge MOS transistors typically use MOSFETs with a withstand voltage of 200V. However, at startup, a voltage exceeding the 200V withstand voltage of the MOSFETs is generated, potentially damaging the full-bridge MOS transistors.

[0005] To prevent damage to the full-bridge MOS group, existing technologies generally use MOS with higher withstand voltage or a startup delay control strategy. Selecting a full-bridge MOS group with a higher withstand voltage means a significant increase in product cost, while using a startup delay control strategy only provides protection during startup. At other times, the full-bridge MOS group may still be damaged by overvoltage or overcurrent.

[0053] In order to better understand the technical solution of the present application, the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0054] It should be clear that the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0055] Low-power charging and distribution systems for new energy vehicles are usually equipped with a DCDC full-bridge MOS group. The DC power output by the target power supply passes through the full-bridge MOS group and the transformer. The two diagonal MOS tubes in the full-bridge MOS group form a small group, with a total of two groups. Each group is alternately turned on, and then the DC signal is converted into a pulse electrical signal through the transformer. As shown in Figure 1, a circuit diagram of a DCDC full-bridge MOS group is shown. Referring to Figure 1, the DC power of the DCDC+ power supply passes through the full-bridge MOS group and the transformer. MOS1 and MOS4 form a group, and MOS2 and MOS3 form a group that are alternately turned on, and the DC signal is converted into a pulse electrical signal through the transformer. Existing DCDC full-bridge MOS groups generally use MOS with a withstand voltage value equal to 200V. However, at the moment of startup, a voltage higher than the 200V withstand voltage value of the MOS tube is generated, which causes damage to the full-bridge MOS group.

[0056] Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of a MOS group protection circuit provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to Figure 2, the MOS group protection circuit includes a target power supply, a chip power supply, an MCU, a connection switch, a power supply switch, and a DCDC chip.

[0057] The target power supply is used to input a voltage signal to be converted. Specifically, the DC signal input by the target power supply is conducted to the transformer through the target MOS group connected by the DCDC chip pin, and the transformer converts the DC signal into a pulsed electrical signal.

[0058] The chip power supply is used to power the DCDC chip, so that the DCDC chip is in the on state.

[0059] When powered on, the DCDC chip conducts power to the connected target MOS group and the transformer connected to it, allowing the transformer to convert the DC power output from the target power supply into a pulsed electrical signal. When powered off, the DCDC chip cannot conduct the voltage output from the target power supply to the target MOS group and transformer, preventing the MOS group from being damaged by the voltage output from the target power supply.

[0060] The MCU controls the power supply circuit by opening and closing the power switch, further protecting the target MOS group by opening and closing the DCDC chip. Specifically, the MCU determines whether the voltage applied by the target power supply meets preset conditions. Before determining whether the target power supply voltage meets the preset conditions, the MCU controls the power switch to open. After determining that the target power supply voltage meets the preset conditions, the MCU controls the power switch to close, thereby supplying power to the DCDC chip.

[0061] The power switch is used to close or open under the control of the MCU. When closed, the DCDC chip is powered by the chip power supply, the DCDC chip is turned on, and the target MOS group is turned on; when opened, the power supply to the DCDC chip is stopped, the DCDC chip is turned off, and no DC power passes through the target MOS group to prevent the target MOS group from being burned.

[0062] Based on the designed circuit structure, the connection switch automatically closes when the target power supply voltage meets preset conditions and automatically opens when the target power supply voltage does not meet the preset conditions. When the connection switch is closed, the DC power output of the target power supply is transmitted to the DCDC chip. When the connection switch is open, the DCDC chip is disconnected from the chip power supply and shuts down, preventing the target power supply from burning out the target MOS array.

[0063] The embodiment of the present invention provides a power supply switch and a connection switch respectively. While actively monitoring whether the voltage output by the target power supply meets the preset conditions, the circuit structure can also automatically disconnect the switch when the voltage does not meet the preset conditions, thereby improving the reliability of the circuit safety and realizing the protection of the target MOS group.

[0064] Figure 3 shows a schematic diagram of another MOS group protection circuit according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to Figure 3, in addition to the target power supply, chip power supply, MCU, connection switch, power supply switch, and DCDC chip, the MOS group protection circuit also includes a judgment circuit, a sampling circuit, and a power supply circuit.

[0065] The output end of the judgment circuit is connected to the input end of the connection switch, and is used to control the opening or closing of the connection switch through the circuit structure. The judgment circuit specifically includes an undervoltage judgment circuit and an overvoltage judgment circuit.

[0066] The undervoltage judgment circuit is used to output a low-level signal to the connection switch when the voltage signal is in a non-undervoltage state; and output a high-level signal to the connection switch when the current signal is in an undervoltage state.

[0067] The overvoltage judgment circuit is used to output a low-level signal to the connection switch when the voltage signal is in a non-overvoltage state; and output a high-level signal to the connection switch when the voltage signal is in an overvoltage state.

[0068] The connection switch is closed and conductive only when both the overvoltage detection circuit and the undervoltage detection circuit output low-level signals. Otherwise, it is open. Specifically, the connection switch is open when either or both the overvoltage detection circuit and the overcurrent detection circuit output high-level signals. Typically, the connection switch is a MOS transistor. When the MOS transistor is open, the connection switch is closed; when the MOS transistor is open, the connection switch is open.

[0069] The undervoltage judgment circuit includes a first voltage comparator. The first input of the first voltage comparator is connected to the target power supply and is used to receive the voltage signal output by the target power supply. The second input of the first voltage comparator is connected to the chip power supply and is used to receive a first reference voltage signal. The first voltage comparator is used to compare the received voltage signal with the first reference voltage signal. When the voltage signal is less than the first reference voltage signal, the circuit is in an undervoltage state and outputs a high level to the connection switch. When the voltage signal is greater than the first reference signal, the circuit is in a non-undervoltage state and outputs a low level to the connection switch. Generally, the first reference voltage signal can be set to 60V.

[0070] The overvoltage judgment circuit includes a second voltage comparator. The first input of the second voltage comparator is connected to the chip power supply and is used to receive a second reference voltage signal. The second input of the voltage comparator is connected to the target power supply and is used to receive the voltage signal output by the target power supply. The second voltage comparator compares the received voltage signal with the second reference voltage signal. When the voltage signal is less than the second reference voltage signal, the circuit is in a non-overvoltage state and outputs a low level to the second switch. When the voltage signal is greater than the second reference voltage signal, the circuit is in an overvoltage state and outputs a high level to the second switch. Generally, the second reference voltage signal can be set to 160V.

[0071] The sampling circuit is used to collect the voltage signal of the target power supply and output the collected voltage signal to the MCU, the first voltage comparator and the second voltage comparator.

[0072] The input end of the power supply circuit is the chip power supply, and the output end is connected to the power supply switch, which is used to power the DCDC chip when the power supply switch and the connection switch are closed.

[0073] Optionally, a hysteresis circuit is further provided on the undervoltage judgment circuit and the overvoltage judgment circuit for providing feedback to the reference voltage signal input by the auxiliary power supply to prevent frequent undervoltage disconnection of the circuit caused by voltage fluctuations.

[0074] As shown in FIG4 , a MOS group protection method provided by an embodiment of the present invention is applied to the MCU shown in FIG2 and FIG3 , combined with the MOS group protection circuit shown in FIG2 and FIG4 . The method specifically includes:

[0075] S401, turning off the power switch to turn off the DCDC chip.

[0076] S402 , controlling the target power input to determine whether the voltage signal of the target power satisfies a preset condition.

[0077] Specifically, the MCU controls the target power input voltage signal, collects the voltage of the target power through a sampling circuit, and compares the collected voltage with a preset voltage operating range to determine whether the voltage of the target power meets the preset conditions.

[0078] S403, when it is determined that the voltage signal of the target power source meets the preset condition, close the power switch and power the DCDC chip through the chip power supply, wherein when the voltage signal of the target power source meets the preset condition, the connection switch is closed and the DCDC chip is connected to the power supply circuit.

[0079] Specifically, when the voltage of the target power supply is within a preset operating voltage range, it is determined that the voltage of the target power supply meets a preset condition, a control instruction is sent to the power switch, the power switch is controlled to be closed, and the chip power supply is controlled to supply DCDC power.

[0080] Optionally, when it is determined that the voltage meets a preset condition, the power switch is closed after a preset time has passed to reduce sensitivity and prevent the target MOS group from being burned. The preset time is generally set to 10ms.

[0081] Among them, when the voltage signal of the target power supply meets the preset conditions, that is, when the voltage signal of the target power supply is in a non-overvoltage state and a non-undervoltage state at the same time, the connection switch is closed based on the low-level signal sent by the undervoltage judgment circuit and the overvoltage judgment circuit, and the DCDC chip is connected to the power supply circuit. The chip power supply supplies power to the DCDC chip after the power supply switch is closed.

[0082] Specifically, only when the power switch and the connection switch are closed simultaneously is the DCDC chip connected to the power supply circuit and the chip power supply begins to supply power to it, turning on the DCDC chip. The voltage signal output by the target power supply is transmitted through the DCDC chip to the target MOS group connected to the DCDC chip pin, and is converted into a pulsed electrical signal by the transformer turned on by the MOS.

[0083] After the DCDC chip is turned on, the MCU continues to collect the target power supply voltage through the voltage sampling circuit and determines in real time whether the target power supply voltage meets the preset standard. If the preset conditions are met, the power switch remains closed, and the DCDC chip is turned on. If the preset conditions are not met, the power switch is opened, power to the DCDC chip is stopped, and the DCDC chip is turned off. The voltage output by the target power supply will no longer be transmitted to the target MOS group, protecting the target MOS group from burning out.

[0084] The undervoltage detection circuit and overvoltage detection circuit respectively determine whether the circuit is in an undervoltage or overvoltage state. When the target power supply voltage is not in an undervoltage state, the first voltage comparator in the undervoltage detection circuit outputs a low level to the connection switch; when the target power supply voltage is in an undervoltage state, the first voltage comparator outputs a high level to the connection switch. When the target power supply voltage is not in an overvoltage state, the second current comparator in the overvoltage detection circuit outputs a low level to the second switch; when the target power supply voltage is in an overvoltage state, the current comparator outputs a high level to the second switch.

[0085] When the connection switch receives low-level signals sent by the overvoltage judgment circuit and the overcurrent judgment circuit at the same time, it remains closed and the DCDC chip is turned on; when it receives a high-level signal sent by either the undervoltage judgment circuit or the overvoltage judgment circuit, or a high-level signal sent by both circuits, it will be disconnected and the DCDC chip is turned off.

[0086] By separately providing a power switch and a connection switch, the present invention not only proactively monitors whether the target power supply's output voltage meets preset conditions, but also automatically disconnects the switch when the voltage fails to meet the preset conditions, thereby improving circuit safety and reliability and protecting the target MOS group. Furthermore, the dual-loop detection circuitry switches the DCDC chip to a disabled state in either an undervoltage or overvoltage state, preventing damage to the full-bridge MOS group in these conditions.

[0087] Figure 5 shows a circuit diagram of a specific MOS group protection circuit provided by an embodiment of the present invention. A specific embodiment of MOS group protection is described below in conjunction with Figure 4. The connection switch is MOS transistor Q25, the power switch is transistor Q24, the target power supply is DCDC+, and the chip power supply is VDD.

[0088] The MCU is powered on to initialize and prepare for operation. The MCU controls the power switch to disconnect, thereby disconnecting the power supply circuit. Specifically, the MCU outputs EN = 1, controlling the power switch, namely transistor Q24, to ground. The voltages at the G terminal (gate) and the S terminal (source) of MOS transistor Q23 are aligned, disconnecting MOS transistor Q23. After disconnection, resistor R106 is disconnected from the circuit, and the voltages at the G terminal and the S terminal of MOS transistor Q17 are aligned. MOS transistor Q17 is disconnected, disconnecting the circuit between the chip power supply VDD and VCC2. VDD cannot supply power to the DCDC chip, and the DCDC chip remains in the off state.

[0089] The MCU controls the target power supply, namely the DCDC+ power input, and determines whether the DCDC+ voltage signal meets preset conditions. Specifically, a sampling circuit is provided in the DCDC+ power circuit to transmit the DCDC+ power voltage signal to the MCU. The MCU determines whether the voltage signal is within the operating voltage range. If so, it delays for 10ms and outputs EN = 0, disconnecting transistor Q24 from ground. A voltage difference appears between the G and S terminals of MOS transistor Q23, turning on MOS transistor Q23. A voltage difference appears between the G and S terminals of MOS transistor Q17, turning on the circuit. The circuit between VDD and VCC2 is connected, and VDD supplies power to the DCDC chip.

[0090] The voltage signal output by the DCDC+ power supply is also output to the judgment circuit for dual-loop comparison. If the judgment result includes an overvoltage state or an undervoltage state, the connection switch MOS tube Q25 is disconnected, so that the enable of the SS / EN pin is pulled low, keeping the DCDC chip in the off state. If it is determined to be neither an overvoltage state nor an undervoltage state, the SS / EN pin is kept connected to the transistor Q24.

[0091] Specifically, the undervoltage judgment circuit in the judgment circuit is provided with a first voltage comparator, namely, voltage comparator U19A. The sampling circuit sends the real-time voltage signal of the DCDC+ power supply circuit to terminal 2 ("-terminal") of voltage comparator U19A. Terminal 3 ("+terminal") of voltage comparator U19A is connected to a first reference voltage signal, and the first reference voltage signal is compared with the real-time voltage signal. When the voltage signal is less than the reference voltage signal, a high level is output, which is considered to be 1, indicating an undervoltage state. The voltage at the G terminal of MOS transistor Q25 is pulled high, creating a voltage difference with the S terminal, turning on MOS transistor Q25, and grounding the SS / EN pin, which is pulled low, turning off the DCDC chip. When the real-time voltage signal is greater than the reference voltage signal, a low level is output, which is considered to be 0, indicating a non-undervoltage state. The voltage at the G terminal of MOS transistor Q25 is pulled low, matching the voltage at the S terminal, maintaining the SS / EN pin connected to transistor Q24. Among them, a hysteresis circuit is set between terminals 1 and 3 of the voltage comparator U19A, namely diode D19, resistor R128, resistor R120 and VDD. The hysteresis circuit has a feedback function to prevent frequent undervoltage disconnection caused by voltage fluctuations.

[0092] The overvoltage detection circuit in the judgment circuit includes a second voltage comparator, namely voltage comparator U19B. The sampling resistor transmits the real-time voltage signal of the DCDC+ power supply circuit to terminal 5 (the "+ terminal") of voltage comparator U19B. Terminal 6 (the "- terminal") of voltage comparator U19B receives a second reference voltage signal, and compares the second reference voltage signal with the real-time voltage signal. When the real-time voltage signal is greater than the second reference voltage signal, a high level is output, which is considered a 1, indicating an overvoltage state. The voltage at the G terminal of MOS transistor Q25 increases, creating a voltage difference with the S terminal, turning on MOS transistor Q25, grounding the SS / EN pin and pulling it low, turning off the DCDC chip. When the real-time voltage signal is less than the second reference voltage signal, a low level is output, which is considered a 0, indicating a non-overvoltage state. The voltage at the G terminal of MOS transistor Q25 decreases, matching the voltage at the S terminal, and maintaining the SS / EN pin connected to transistor Q24. Among them, a hysteresis circuit is set between the 7th terminal and the 5th terminal of the voltage comparator U19B, namely the diode D25, the resistor R141, the resistor R138 and VDD. The hysteresis circuit has a feedback function to prevent frequent overvoltage disconnection caused by voltage fluctuations.

[0093] When the connection switch MOS tube Q25 and the power switch transistor Q24 are all turned on, the DCDC chip is powered on and starts, driving the two groups of the full-bridge MOS group to alternately conduct. Then, after the two groups are alternately conducted, the DC power input by the DCDC+ is connected to the transformer, realizing the function of converting DC into pulses.

[0094] After the DCDC chip is turned on, the above method is still used to determine in real time whether the voltage signal output by DCDC+ meets the preset conditions, and if not, the connection switch and the power switch are disconnected to prevent the full-bridge MOS group from being burned.
