Description
Technical Field
The present application relates to a driving circuit.
Background
The use of power devices has a crucial influence on switching converters, and conventional power devices made of silicon (Si) based materials are limited in use, such as low voltage class and weak high temperature resistance, and the presence of silicon carbide (SiC) materials makes the solution of the problem no longer limited to changing the device structure.
Silicon carbide (SiC) is applied in gate drive circuits of Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistors (MOSFETs) to achieve high switching speeds with parasitic resonance damping, gate overvoltage protection and crosstalk suppression. The crosstalk phenomenon in the half-bridge configuration refers to stray triggering of the low-side SiC MOSFET during power-on switching of the high-side SiC MOSFET and vice versa. As the voltage of the device increases in the off state, the charging current flows through its parasitic gate-drain capacitance and produces a positive spike in its gate voltage. If the voltage is above the gate threshold voltage, this voltage spike may falsely trigger the high side MOSFET, which may result in increased switching power loss and may even result in crowbar current.
For example, in the literature "l.abbatelli, c.brusca, and g.catalisano, Applicationnote: the How to fine tune your SiC MOSFET gate driver to minimum losses, STMicroelectronics co, pp.1-17, "proposes a gate drive circuit using a negatively biased gate voltage that shifts the level of the positive voltage spike and speeds the turn-off of the SiCMOSFET. The negative turn-off voltage is usually provided by an additional negative voltage source, and a phase shift circuit using a resistive element to cancel the negative voltage source is disclosed in the documents "j.wangandh.s.h.chung, a novel RCD level shift for excitation of the radial turn-on in the bridge-g configuration, ieee trans.power electron, vol.30, No.2, pp.976-984, 2015".
