The invention discloses an inductor-based dead zone generation circuit. The inductor-based dead zone generation circuit includes a voltage establishment resistor, a current regulation and control inductor, a discharge series branch and a signal conditioning branch, wherein one end of the voltage establishment resistor is connected with an original drive signal source of a bridge arm power tube through the current regulation and control inductor, and the other end of the voltage establishment resistor is connected with the original drive signal source of the bridge arm power tube; the dischargeseries branch is in parallel connection with the current regulation and control inductor; and after one end, accessing the current regulation and control inductor, of the voltage establishment resistor is connected with the signal conditioning branch, the end is taken as an anode output terminal, and the other end of the voltage establishment resistor is taken as a cathode output terminal. The inductor-based dead zone generation circuit adjusts the duration time of the dead zone by changing the magnitude of the current regulation and control inductor, so as to realize reliable dead zone generation.
