In the example shown in FIG. 2, as the ON delay circuit 60a, an RC circuit in which a resistor 61 and a capacitor 62 are connected in an L-shape is provided at the wiring ma connecting the switching element drive circuit 20 and the resonator 40a.
若是作具體性說明,則導通延遲電路60a之電阻61,係被設置在將「In」端子和配線ha作連接的配線ma處。又,電容器62之正側,係在配線ma處而被設置於較電阻61而更靠「In」端子側處,電容器62之負側係被接地。 To describe it concretely, the resistor 61 of the on-delay circuit 60a is provided at the wiring ma connecting the "In" terminal and the wiring ha. Also, the positive side of the capacitor 62 is provided on the "In" terminal side of the resistor 61 at the wiring ma, and the negative side of the capacitor 62 is grounded.
而,藉由預先對於導通延遲電路60a之時間常數作適宜設定,係成為將從切換元件驅動電路20所輸出之矩形波狀之驅動訊號具有特定之延遲時間(on delay)地來輸出至複振器40a處。藉由此,係能夠在設計階段中對於切換元件Qa和寄生二極體Da之特性等作考慮並預先設定最適當之延遲時間。另外,圖2中所示之導通延遲電路60a之構成,係僅為其中一例,而並不被限定於此。 And, by appropriately setting the time constant of the turn-on delay circuit 60a in advance, the rectangular-wave driving signal output from the switching element driving circuit 20 is output to the resonator 40a with a specific delay time (on delay). Thereby, the optimum delay time can be preset in consideration of the characteristics of the switching element Qa and the parasitic diode Da in the design stage. In addition, the configuration of the turn-on delay circuit 60a shown in FIG. 2 is just one example, and is not limited thereto.
通電時間設定電路70a,係為設定從複振器40a所輸出的導通訊號之通電時間之電路。在圖2所示之例中,通電時間設定電路70a,係具備有電阻71、和二極體 72、以及電容器73。電阻71和二極體72係被作並聯連接,在此並聯連接體處係被串聯連接有電容器73。電容器73之正側,係被與二極體72之陽極作連接,電容器73之負側,係被與複振器40a之「Vcc」端子作連接。 The energization time setting circuit 70a is a circuit for setting the energization time of the conduction signal output from the resonator 40a. In the example shown in Figure 2, the energization time setting circuit 70a is equipped with a resistor 71 and a diode 72, and capacitor 73. The resistor 71 and the diode 72 are connected in parallel, and a capacitor 73 is connected in series at the parallel connection. The positive side of the capacitor 73 is connected to the anode of the diode 72, and the negative side of the capacitor 73 is connected to the "Vcc" terminal of the resonator 40a.
圖1中所示之控制電路50,係基於成為基準之正弦波訊號(未圖示)和特定之三角波(未圖示)之間的比較結果,來產生PWM訊號(Pulse Width Modulation)。基於此PWM訊號,例如,在對應於第1引線10u之切換元件驅動電路20處,係產生有上下一對之切換元件Qa、Qb之驅動訊號。 The control circuit 50 shown in FIG. 1 generates a PWM signal (Pulse Width Modulation) based on a comparison result between a reference sine wave signal (not shown) and a specific triangular wave (not shown). Based on this PWM signal, for example, at the switching element driving circuit 20 corresponding to the first lead 10u, a driving signal for a pair of upper and lower switching elements Qa, Qb is generated.
另外,上臂之切換元件Qa之驅動訊號、和下臂之切換元件Qb之驅動訊號,係成為互補性(使導通/斷開作了略反轉)之形態。但是,由於在切換元件Qa、Qb暫時性地而雙方均成為導通狀態的情況時,係會流動大的短路電流,因此,係以不會流動此種短路電流的方式,而設定有特定之無效時間。前述之所謂無效時間,係為上臂之切換元件Qa以及下臂之切換元件Qb之雙方均成為斷開狀態的期間。另外,關於其他之第2引線10v和第3引線10w,亦為相同。 In addition, the driving signal of the switching element Qa of the upper arm and the driving signal of the switching element Qb of the lower arm are complementary (on/off slightly reversed). However, since a large short-circuit current flows when both switching elements Qa and Qb are temporarily turned on, a specific dead time is set so that such a short-circuit current does not flow. The aforementioned so-called inactive time is a period in which both the switching element Qa of the upper arm and the switching element Qb of the lower arm are in the OFF state. In addition, it is the same about other 2nd lead wire 10v and 3rd lead wire 10w.
接著,作為其中一例,針對在寄生二極體Da處所產生的逆回復電流作說明。例如,當切換元件Qa、Qd係身為導通狀態時,電流係依序經由切換元件Qa、馬達M之U相卷線Lu、V相卷線Lv以及切換元件Qd而流動。 Next, as one example, the reverse recovery current generated in the parasitic diode Da will be described. For example, when the switching elements Qa and Qd are turned on, the current flows through the switching element Qa, the U-phase coil Lu, the V-phase coil Lv of the motor M, and the switching element Qd in sequence.
於此,假設若是設為並未設置有逆電壓施加電路30a之構成,則由於在下臂之切換元件Qb被從斷開而切換為導通的瞬間,電壓Vd(大的逆電壓)係會被施加於上臂之寄生二極體Da處,因此,在此寄生二極體Da處係產生有特定之逆回復電流。此逆回復電流,由於係經由下臂之切換元件Qb而流動,因此,在此切換元件Qb處係產生有大的損失(切換損失)。為了對於此種損失作抑制,係設置有逆電壓施加電路30a。 Here, assuming that the reverse voltage application circuit 30a is not provided, since the voltage Vd (large reverse voltage) is applied to the parasitic diode Da of the upper arm at the moment when the switching element Qb of the lower arm is switched from off to on, a specific reverse recovery current is generated at the parasitic diode Da. Since this reverse return current flows through the switching element Qb of the lower arm, a large loss (switching loss) occurs in the switching element Qb. In order to suppress such loss, a reverse voltage application circuit 30a is provided.
另外,所謂「逆回復電流」,係指在被施加於寄生二極體Da(或者是飛輪二極體)處之電壓從順方向電壓而切換為逆方向電壓的瞬間所流動之電流。 In addition, the so-called "reverse recovery current" refers to the current flowing at the moment when the voltage applied to the parasitic diode Da (or flywheel diode) is switched from forward voltage to reverse voltage.
逆電壓施加電路30a,係緊接於切換元件Qa之驅動訊號下挫並進入了特定之無效時間之後,將較小之逆電壓施加於上臂之寄生二極體Da處。藉由此,來在下臂之切換元件Qb被從斷開而切換為導通之前,意圖性地在上臂之寄生二極體Da處流動較小之逆回復電流。 The reverse voltage applying circuit 30a applies a small reverse voltage to the parasitic diode Da of the upper arm immediately after the driving signal of the switching element Qa drops and enters a specific invalid time. Thereby, before the switching element Qb of the lower arm is switched from off to on, a small reverse recovery current flows intentionally through the parasitic diode Da of the upper arm.
其結果,在寄生二極體Da處而成為逆回復電流之原因的載子(電子或電洞)係被耗盡。藉由此,就算是在之後而下臂之切換元件Qb被切換為導通,亦由於在寄生二極體Da處係幾乎不會流動逆回復電流,因此係能夠對於在下臂之切換元件Qb處的損失作抑制。 As a result, the carriers (electrons or holes) that cause the reverse recovery current at the parasitic diode Da are exhausted. Thereby, even if the switching element Qb of the lower arm is switched on later, since almost no reverse recovery current flows in the parasitic diode Da, loss in the switching element Qb of the lower arm can be suppressed.
圖3,係為針對關連於在逆變器100處的逆電壓之施加之動作作展示之時序表(適宜參考圖1、圖2)。從圖3之上方起,依序對於上臂之切換元件Qa之驅動訊號、 下臂之切換元件Qb之驅動訊號、從複振器40a之「OUT」端子(參考圖2)所輸出之訊號以及從複振器40b之「OUT」端子(參考圖2)所輸出之訊號作展示。又,圖3之各橫軸,係為時間。 FIG. 3 is a timing chart showing the actions related to the application of the reverse voltage at the inverter 100 (refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 as appropriate). From the top of FIG. 3 , sequentially for the driving signal of the switching element Qa of the upper arm, The driving signal of the switching element Qb of the lower arm, the signal output from the "OUT" terminal of the resonator 40a (refer to FIG. 2 ) and the signal output from the "OUT" terminal of the resonator 40b (refer to FIG. 2 ) are shown. Also, each horizontal axis in Fig. 3 represents time.
圖3中所示之「無效時間」,係為切換元件Qa、Qb之雙方均成為斷開狀態的期間。實際上,「無效時間」係為非常短的時間,但是,為了易於理解,在圖3中係將「無效時間」記載為較長的時間。 The "inactive time" shown in FIG. 3 is a period in which both switching elements Qa and Qb are in the OFF state. Actually, the "invalid time" is a very short time, however, in FIG. 3, the "invalid time" is described as a relatively long time for easy understanding.
複振器40a,在檢測出切換元件Qa之驅動訊號之下挫的情況時,係對於逆電壓施加電路30a將導通訊號作特定時間之輸出。亦即是,若是從由切換元件驅動電路20所輸出至上臂之切換元件Qa處之驅動訊號從導通而切換為斷開(時刻t1),則複振器40a,係將此驅動訊號之下挫,具有在導通延遲電路60a處之特定之延遲時間△ta地而檢測出來。之後,從複振器40a而來之導通訊號之輸出係被開始(時刻t2)。 The resonator 40a outputs an ON signal to the reverse voltage applying circuit 30a for a predetermined time when detecting a dip in the driving signal of the switching element Qa. That is, if the driving signal output from the switching element driving circuit 20 to the switching element Qa of the upper arm is switched from on to off (time t1), the resonator 40a detects the drop of the driving signal with a specific delay time Δta at the turn-on delay circuit 60a. After that, the output of the conduction signal from the resonator 40a is started (time t2).
若是從複振器40a之「OUT」端子(參考圖2)而對於逆電壓施加電路30a之切換手段32(參考圖2)輸出有導通訊號,則此切換手段32係被切換為導通,在寄生二極體Da處係被施加有特定之逆電壓。另外,此逆電壓,係較直流電源E之電壓Vd而更小。亦即是,圖2中所示之電容器62之極板間之電壓,係較直流電源E之電壓Vd而更小。此係為為了對於在寄生二極體Da處所流動的逆回復電流之峰值作抑制之故。 If an ON signal is output from the "OUT" terminal of the resonator 40a (see FIG. 2 ) to the switching means 32 (see FIG. 2 ) of the reverse voltage applying circuit 30a, the switching means 32 is switched to conduction, and a specific reverse voltage is applied to the parasitic diode Da. In addition, this reverse voltage is smaller than the voltage Vd of the DC power supply E. That is, the voltage between the plates of the capacitor 62 shown in FIG. 2 is smaller than the voltage Vd of the DC power supply E. This is for suppressing the peak value of the reverse recovery current flowing in the parasitic diode Da.
若是在寄生二極體Da處被施加有逆電壓,則在上下一對之切換元件Qa、Qb之無效時間中,係經由寄生二極體Da以及切換元件Qb,而流動較小之逆回復電流。藉由此,存在於寄生二極體Da處之載子(電子或電洞)係暫時性地幾乎被耗盡。故而,就算是在之後而下臂之切換元件Qb被切換為導通,並在上臂之寄生二極體Da處被施加有電壓Vd,也幾乎不會有流動大的逆回復電流的情形。藉由此,係能夠將在切換元件Qb處之損失降低。 If a reverse voltage is applied to the parasitic diode Da, a small reverse recovery current flows through the parasitic diode Da and the switching element Qb during the inactive time of the upper and lower pair of switching elements Qa, Qb. By this, the carriers (electrons or holes) present at the parasitic diode Da are temporarily almost depleted. Therefore, even if the switching element Qb of the lower arm is switched on afterwards and the voltage Vd is applied to the parasitic diode Da of the upper arm, a large reverse recovery current hardly flows. Thereby, the loss at the switching element Qb can be reduced.
而,從複振器40a之「OUT」端子(參考圖2)所輸出的導通訊號,係作基於通電時間設定電路70a所致之特定時間的持續(時刻t2~t4)。其結果,逆電壓施加電路30a之切換手段32(參考圖2)之導通狀態,亦係在時刻t2~t4之期間中被持續。另外,切換手段32從導通而切換至斷開的時序,係可為從無效時間(時刻t1~t3)結束起而經過了特定時間△tb之後,又,亦可為與無效時間的結束略同時。 And, the conduction signal output from the "OUT" terminal (refer to FIG. 2 ) of the resonator 40a is continued for a specific time based on the energization time setting circuit 70a (time t2~t4). As a result, the conduction state of the switching means 32 (refer to FIG. 2 ) of the reverse voltage applying circuit 30a is also continued during the period from time t2 to t4. In addition, the timing of switching the switching means 32 from on to off may be after a specific time Δtb elapses from the end of the inactive time (time t1-t3), or may be approximately at the same time as the end of the inactive time.
如此這般,由於在切換元件Qa、Qb之無效時間中,係輸出有逆電壓施加訊號,因此,係能夠對於在寄生二極體Da處之逆回復電流適當地作抑制。 In this way, since the reverse voltage application signal is output during the inactive time of the switching elements Qa, Qb, it is possible to appropriately suppress the reverse return current at the parasitic diode Da.
另外一方之複振器40b之動作,亦係與其中一方之複振器40a相同。亦即是,在圖3中雖並未對於其之期間作圖示,但是,在將切換元件Qb之驅動訊號之下挫具有特定之延遲時間地而檢測出來的情況時,係從複振器40b之「OUT」端子來對於逆電壓施加電路30b而將導通訊 號作特定時間之輸出。藉由此,在下臂之切換元件Qb之寄生二極體Db處,係被施加有較小之逆電壓,在無效時間中係流動較小之逆回復電流。另外,關於其他之第2引線10v和第3引線10w,亦為相同。 The action of the re-vibrator 40b on the other side is also the same as that of the re-vibrator 40a on one side. That is, although the period is not shown in FIG. 3 , when the drop of the driving signal of the switching element Qb is detected with a specific delay time, the reverse voltage applying circuit 30b is turned on from the "OUT" terminal of the resonator 40b. The number is output at a specific time. As a result, a small reverse voltage is applied to the parasitic diode Db of the switching element Qb of the lower arm, and a small reverse recovery current flows during the inactive time. In addition, it is the same about other 2nd lead wire 10v and 3rd lead wire 10w.
若依據第1實施形態,則例如係構成為在下臂之切換元件Qb被切換為導通之前,使逆電壓施加電路30a對於寄生二極體Da施加逆電壓並意圖性地流動較小之逆回復電流。故而,在下臂之切換元件Qb被切換為導通而在寄生二極體Da處被施加有電壓Vd時,係能夠對於流動大的逆回復電流的情形作抑制。藉由此,在逆變器100處之切換損失係被降低,而能夠謀求其之高效率化。又,係亦能夠對於伴隨逆回復電流之雜訊所產生的共振現象或突波電壓之發生作抑制。 According to the first embodiment, for example, before the switching element Qb of the lower arm is switched on, the reverse voltage applying circuit 30a is configured to apply a reverse voltage to the parasitic diode Da to intentionally flow a small reverse recovery current. Therefore, when the switching element Qb of the lower arm is switched on and the voltage Vd is applied to the parasitic diode Da, it is possible to suppress the flow of a large reverse recovery current. Thereby, the switching loss in the inverter 100 is reduced, and the efficiency can be improved. In addition, it is also possible to suppress the resonance phenomenon or the occurrence of surge voltage caused by the noise accompanying the reverse recovery current.
又,若依據第1實施形態,則複振器40a、40b係成為流用從切換元件驅動電路20而來之驅動訊號,來產生逆電壓施加訊號。故而,由於係並不需要另外準備被設置有被與複振器40a、40b作連接之專用之銷(未圖示)的微電腦,因此,係能夠對於零件數量和製造成本作削減。如此這般,若依據第1實施形態,則係可提供一種簡單之構成且為低損失之逆變器100。 Moreover, according to the first embodiment, the resonators 40a and 40b generate reverse voltage application signals by flowing the drive signal from the switching element drive circuit 20 . Therefore, since there is no need to separately prepare a microcomputer provided with dedicated pins (not shown) connected to the resonators 40a, 40b, the number of parts and manufacturing cost can be reduced. In this way, according to the first embodiment, it is possible to provide an inverter 100 with a simple configuration and low loss.
在第2實施形態中,針對具備有逆電壓施加電路30a等的轉換器200(參考圖4)作說明。另外,關於逆電壓施加電路30a和複振器40a、導通延遲電路60a(參考圖2,在圖4中係省略圖示)以及通電時間設定電路70a(參考圖2,在圖4中係省略圖示)之構成、動作,係與第1實施形態相同。故而,係針對與第1實施形態相異之部分作說明,關於重複的部分,則係省略其說明。 In the second embodiment, a converter 200 (see FIG. 4 ) including a reverse voltage application circuit 30 a and the like will be described. In addition, the configuration and operation of the reverse voltage application circuit 30a, resonator 40a, conduction delay circuit 60a (refer to FIG. 2, not shown in FIG. 4) and energization time setting circuit 70a (refer to FIG. 2, not shown in FIG. 4) are the same as those of the first embodiment. Therefore, the description will be given for the parts that are different from those of the first embodiment, and the description will be omitted for the parts that overlap.

One of the lead wires 11 is a switching lead wire formed by connecting the switching element Qa of the upper arm and the switching element Qb of the lower arm. Also, the lead wire 12 of the other side is also the same. And, one of the lead wires 11 and the other of the lead wires 12 are configured to be connected in parallel.

而,複振器40a,係成為流用從切換元件驅動電路20而至切換元件Qa之驅動訊號,來產生逆電壓施加訊號。逆電壓施加電路30a,係基於前述之逆電壓施加訊號,來在切換元件Qa、Qb之無效時間中,將較小之逆電壓施加於寄生二極體Da處。藉由此,係能夠謀求轉換器200之簡單化,並且能夠降低切換損失。 Furthermore, the resonator 40a generates a reverse voltage application signal by flowing the driving signal from the switching element driving circuit 20 to the switching element Qa.
