Specifically, fig. 4 is a waveform diagram of overall transmission of a signal power time-sharing composite isolation driving provided by an embodiment of the present invention, in the drawing, SIG GD is a driving signal, SIG FB is a feedback signal, SIG Fault is a fault signal, and v clock is a 20MHz oscillating signal voltage.
As shown in fig. 4, at time t 0, the drive signal SIG GD transitions from a low level to a high level, and a channel slot is allocated to the drive signal rising edge transmission. S 1-S5 is a control signal of a switching device on the primary side in the main transmission circuit, and specifically referring to S 1-S5 in FIG. 4, the first MOS transistor Q 1 to the fifth MOS transistor Q 5 are correspondingly controlled. Specifically, at time t 00, the driving power stops transmitting, that is, S 1~S2 resets, S 3 sets, and v sw、vC and v A damp oscillations and then decay to zero. at time t 01, S 1 is modulated into three short pulses at a time interval, and three short pulses are generated on v sw and v A, respectively, so that at time t 02, recovery of the drive signal, i.e., transition of SIG Re-GD from low to high, is achieved. At time t 03, the drive power is normally power delivered, S 3 is turned off, and S 1 and S 2 are restored to a 20MHz complementary square wave signal with dead time. when the driving signal is transmitted along the falling edge, see the time t 2, the working principle is similar. In contrast, S 1 is modulated into two short pulses at a certain time interval, and two short pulses are generated on v sw and v A accordingly, so that at time t 22, the recovery of the falling edge of the driving signal is realized.
At time t 1, feedback signal SIG FB transitions from a low level to a high level, and channel slots are allocated for feedback signal rising edge transmissions. Specifically, at time t 10, S 5 first sets for a certain time, and at time t 11, primary side v C falls, and the set signal of S 3 is triggered, S 1~S2 resets, and power transmission is turned off. next, at time t 12, S 4 and S 5 are modulated into three short pulses at a certain time interval according to the three signal states at this time, and three short pulses are generated on v sw and v A, respectively, so that a restored feedback signal is obtained by signal demodulation at time t 13. At time t 14, the drive power is normally power transmitted, and S 1~S3 is restored to the previous state. When the feedback signal is transmitted along the falling edge, see the time t 3, the working principle is similar. Differently, the modulation waveforms of S 4 and S 5 are different due to the different signal states. For example, at time t 32, based on the three signal states at this time, S 4 and S 5 are modulated into a short pulse, which is correspondingly generated on v sw and v A, to obtain a recovered feedback signal by signal demodulation at time t 33. similarly, when the rising edge of the fault signal SIG Fault comes, only the waveforms modulated by S 4 and S 5 need to be changed. for example, at time t 42, the recovered driving signal and the feedback signal are both at high level, and S 4 and S 5 are modulated into four short pulses with a certain time interval, so that at time t 43, the recovered fault signal is obtained by signal demodulation.
Fig. 5 is a diagram showing an operation effect of a driving circuit for signal power composite isolation transmission according to an embodiment of the present invention (where V O is set to 20V). As shown in FIG. 6, the feedback signal is successfully transmitted to the primary side, and the output voltage is stabilized at 20V by controlling the LLC switching tube of the primary side, the voltage ripple is smaller than 0.3V, and the closed loop effect is good. The driving signal is successfully recovered at the secondary side, the transmission delay is only 70ns, and meanwhile, the fault signal is accurately responded to the primary side to realize the alarm effect.
The composite isolation driving circuit provided by the embodiment of the invention can be applied to high-speed driving of the power semiconductor device in the upper bridge arm circuit and the lower bridge arm circuit. Fig. 6 shows a multi-pulse test circuit for signal power time-sharing composite isolation driving application, in which the driven power switching transistors T 1 and T 2 have four connection terminals, i.e. the power switching transistors with four pins are used, and the power switching transistors include a gate G, a drain D, a source S and a kelvin source KS.
The driven power switch tube T 1 can adopt a Si MOSFET, an IGBT, a SiC MOSFET or a GaN HEMT device. When the driven power switch T 1 employs a three-terminal device, the Kelvin source KS and the source S can be considered to be the same point.
Fig. 7 is a waveform diagram of a power device switch applied to a driving circuit for signal power composite isolation transmission according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 7, V GS is the gate-source voltage of the driven power switch tube T 1, the switching frequency is 100kHz, the driving signal is well followed, and the on and off voltages of V GS are respectively stabilized at +15v/-5V, which indicates that the driving circuit can also ensure the stability of the driving power and the voltage while transmitting the signal. v DS is the drain-source voltage of the driven power switch tube T 1, i D is the drain current of the driven power switch tube T 1, and v DS and i D can normally switch the switch state before and after the on and off pulses of the driving signal come, which indicates that the isolation driver has the capability of driving the power switch tube at high speed. i L is load inductance current, when the current reaches 125A, overcurrent protection and fault signals are triggered, and after the power switch tube is turned off, the alarm is successfully given to the primary side, so that the reliability of the isolation driver is shown.
According to the embodiment of the invention, the drive signal and the drive power are transmitted simultaneously through the single isolation channel, the working states of the main transmission circuit are switched in different time slots through the time slot distribution circuit, so that the drive signal and the drive power control signal are mutually independent in time, the time slot occupied by signal transmission is far smaller than the power transmission time slot, a decoupling transmission architecture is constructed, the circuits can be respectively and flexibly designed to meet the requirements of signal and power transmission, and the problems of common modulation of the drive signal and the power, low modulation freedom and low transmission efficiency are solved. The high-fidelity and high-efficiency transmission of the driving signals and the driving power are realized, the number of components required by the driving circuit is reduced, and the advantages of low cost and small volume are realized.
