The invention discloses a passive multi-stage
voltage soft turn-off circuit suitable for SiC MOSFETs. The passive multi-stage
voltage soft turn-off circuit comprises a driving
main branch, a plurality of
voltage reduction branches, a driving
resistor, a discharging
resistor and a driving power supply circuit. The driving power supply circuit is powered by a
positive power supply VCC when the SiC
MOSFET is turned on, and is powered by a
negative power supply VEE when the SiC
MOSFET is turned off. The
voltage reduction branches are connected to the two ends of the driving
main branch in parallel. The step-down
branch comprises a step-down
delay unit, a step-down action unit and a step-down unit which are sequentially connected in series; the
delay time of each step-down
branch is increased in sequence, and the step-down
voltage drop is increased in sequence. According to the invention, the voltage level can be conveniently controlled by changing the number of the
voltage reduction branches, an additional power supply module does not need to be added, the
voltage reduction time can be controlled by the voltage reduction
delay branches, the degree of freedom of driving is greatly increased, and the circuit is low in complexity, high in voltage reduction degree of freedom and high in reliability.
