摘要:
A switching stage, including a first transistor (M1) and a second transistor (M2) having their current paths cascaded between a supply terminal (Vcc) and a ground terminal (Gnd), may be driven by: - alternatively switching on and switching off the first transistor (M1) and the second transistor (M2) by applying (11, 12) control currents (Ig M1, Ig M2) to the control terminals of the first transistor (M1) and second transistor (M2); - sensing (21) the voltage across the first transistor (M1); and - controlling (12) the control current (Ig M2) applied to the control terminal of the second transistor (M2) as a function of the voltage sensed across the first transistor (M1).
摘要:
The present invention addresses the problems of the increase of leakage current and noise failure induced in a peripheral device, which are attributable to a steep dV/dt because when a power conversion device is configured using a wide-bandgap semiconductor element, the turn-on speed and turn-off speed are extremely fast. A power conversion device comprises: a converter for converting an AC voltage to a DC voltage; a DC intermediate circuit for smoothing the DC voltage converted by the converter; an inverter for converting the DC voltage smoothed by the DC intermediate circuit to an AC voltage; a gate drive circuit for driving a semiconductor switching element in the inverter; a current detector for detecting current flowing through the power conversion device; and a control circuit for detecting each current component value from the current detected by the current detector and for, based on the detected each current component value or the power factor obtained from the each current component value, changing the gate resistance value of the gate drive circuit.

A switching power supply can include multiple power MOSFETs that receive an initial gate drive waveform comprising a fast slew rate region having a negative slope and a slow slew rate region also having a negative slope. The MOSFETs can turn off during the slow slew rate region of the initial gate drive waveform.

A gate driver circuit 312 for a power switch is disclosed. The gate driver circuit includes a resistor network 322 coupled to the power switch. The resistor network includes a plurality of resistors. The gate driver circuit further includes a control unit 342 operatively coupled to the resistor network. The control unit 342 is configured to control the resistor network 322 such that the resistor network 322 provides different resistance values in at least two of a delay phase, a commutation phase, and a saturation phase when the power switch is transitioned to a first state. A method for driving the power switch is also disclosed.
摘要:
The present disclosure relates to a commutation cell and to a compensation circuit for limiting overvoltage across the power electronic switch of the commutation cell and for limiting a recovery current in a freewheel diode of the commutation cell. The power electronic switch has a parasitic emitter inductance. A variable gain compensation circuit generates a feedback from a voltage generated across the parasitic inductance of the emitter of the power switch at turn-on or turn-off of the power electronic switch. The compensation circuit provides the feedback to a control of the power electronic switch to reduce the voltage generated on the parasitic emitter inductance. A power converter including the commutation cell with the compensation circuit is also disclosed.
