技术领域technical field
本公开涉及电路领域,尤其涉及检测方法及检测电路。The present disclosure relates to the field of circuits, and in particular, to a detection method and a detection circuit.
背景技术Background technique
在一些功率变换器中,检测MOSFET(Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor,金属氧化物半导体场效应管)是否过流通常需要在电路中串联检测电阻或互感器进行采样检测,以避免电路过流损坏,这种检测方法延迟较大,有时不能有效保护作为开关管的场效应管。In some power converters, to detect whether the MOSFET (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor) is over-current, it is usually necessary to connect a detection resistor or a transformer in the circuit for sampling detection to avoid the circuit over-current. If the current is damaged, this detection method has a large delay and sometimes cannot effectively protect the field effect transistor as a switch.
功率变换器中用ZVS(Zero Voltage Switch,零压切换)实现MOSFET的开通,与相关技术的硬开关功率变换器相比,使用ZVS可以提高变换器效率,ZVS开通通常在MOSFET的体二极管或者并联的二极管有正向电流流通时,可以将MOSFET电压钳位在1V左右,电压足够小,可以认为是零压点,在零压点开通有接近零的开通损耗。但是ZVS电路不总是能实现零压开通,要实现零压开通还需要电路桥臂上下开关管的驱动信号有足够的死区时间,死区时间一般依靠经验设计固定值,在电路中电流较小时,死区时间要较大,由于电路参数差异性,经验设计的死区时间并不是最好的,在高压应用场合,有时在开关管电压达到10V以上至50V甚至更高,也可以开通开关管,避免死区时间过长影响输出和效率。In the power converter, ZVS (Zero Voltage Switch, zero voltage switching) is used to realize the turn-on of the MOSFET. Compared with the hard-switching power converter of the related technology, the use of ZVS can improve the efficiency of the converter. ZVS is usually turned on in the body diode of the MOSFET or in parallel. When there is a forward current flowing through the diode of the MOSFET, the voltage of the MOSFET can be clamped at about 1V, the voltage is small enough, it can be considered as the zero voltage point, and the turn-on loss at the zero voltage point is close to zero. However, the ZVS circuit can not always realize zero-voltage turn-on. To achieve zero-voltage turn-on, the driving signals of the upper and lower switch tubes of the circuit bridge arm must have sufficient dead time. The dead time generally depends on experience to design a fixed value. If it is small, the dead time will be larger. Due to the difference of circuit parameters, the dead time designed by experience is not the best. In high-voltage applications, sometimes the switch can be turned on when the voltage of the switch tube reaches more than 10V to 50V or even higher. tube, to avoid too long dead time to affect the output and efficiency.

MOSFET VT1 is a low-side switch tube of a half-bridge circuit (equivalent to the above-mentioned power FET), as shown in FIG. 4 , the circuit includes a drain-source voltage detection circuit 1 (equivalent to the above-mentioned detection circuit), a signal processing and PWM generation circuit 2 (including a control chip or a high-speed processor, equivalent to the above-mentioned control circuit), and a drive circuit 3 (including a drive circuit The chip and the logic AND gate are equivalent to the drive circuit of the above-mentioned power FET). The drain-source voltage detection circuit 1 equivalently detects the saturation voltage drop when the MOSFET VT1 is turned on through the first diode D1 and judges whether the voltage meets the zero-voltage turn-on condition when the MOSFET VT1 is about to be turned on, and the voltage at point X is clamped. The voltage divider is compared with the preset reference voltage Vref input from the positive input terminal of the comparator D3 to obtain the result. The second resistor R2 is an optional component, and the circuit composed of the fourth resistor R4 and the detection switch VT2 can be one or more. When the switch VT2 is turned on, the fourth resistor R4 is connected in parallel with the fifth resistor R5 to change the voltage at the reverse input terminal of the comparator D3; after the signal processing and PWM generation circuit 2 receives the output signal of the comparator D3, it is determined by logic whether to send a switch off. The drive signal is turned off or turned on, so as to realize overcurrent protection or ZVS turn-on; and the drive circuit 3 receives the drive signal sent by the signal processing and PWM generation circuit 2 to switch the MOSFET VT1.
图4所示电路的原理如下:第一电阻R1远大于第二电阻R2,通过第一二极管D1电压钳位,X点的电压近似等于MOSFET VT1压降,但Vx<Vcc,选合适的第三电阻R3、第四电阻R4、以及第五电阻R5分压,分压后将分压电压输入比较器D3的反相输入端(即反向输入端),以与比较器D3同相输入端(即正向输入端)接入的预设参考电压Vref比较,从而检测开关管MOSFET VT1两端的压降来判断其是否过流或其漏源极电压是否降到可以使其导通的电压。预设参考电压Vref不变,通过驱动脉冲PWM2控制检测开关VT2通断来改变分压大小,等效于改变检测电压。通过信号处理和PWM生成电路2(包括高速处理器)进行逻辑判断和时序控制可以达到很快的响应速度,从而实现及时保护电路。第二二极管D2用来快速释放第一电容C1储存的电荷。The principle of the circuit shown in Figure 4 is as follows: the first resistor R1 is much larger than the second resistor R2, and is clamped by the first diode D1, the voltage at point X is approximately equal to the voltage drop of the MOSFET VT1, but Vx<Vcc, select the appropriate The third resistor R3, the fourth resistor R4, and the fifth resistor R5 divide the voltage. After the voltage division, the divided voltage is input to the inverting input terminal (ie, the inverting input terminal) of the comparator D3, so as to be the same as the non-inverting input terminal of the comparator D3. (i.e., the forward input terminal) is compared with the preset reference voltage Vref, so as to detect the voltage drop across the switch MOSFET VT1 to determine whether it is over-current or whether the drain-source voltage drops to a voltage that can be turned on. The preset reference voltage Vref remains unchanged, and the voltage division is changed by controlling the on-off of the detection switch VT2 by the driving pulse PWM2, which is equivalent to changing the detection voltage. Through signal processing and PWM generation circuit 2 (including high-speed processor), logic judgment and sequence control can achieve fast response speed, thereby realizing timely protection of the circuit. The second diode D2 is used to rapidly discharge the charge stored in the first capacitor C1.

Compared with the related art, the circuit structure is simple, which is beneficial to reduce costs. In addition, in power converters (especially power converters greater than 10kW), The circuit can be applied to the drive control circuit of the power converter, which can improve the efficiency of the power converter and flexibly control the dead time.
图5是图4所示示例实施方式在VT1开通时的软件逻辑处理流 程图,如图5所示,可以包括以下步骤S301至S303。Fig. 5 is a flowchart of software logic processing when VT1 is turned on in the exemplary embodiment shown in Fig. 4 , as shown in Fig. 5 , the following steps S301 to S303 may be included.
步骤S301:信号处理和PWM生成电路2向驱动电路3发出驱动脉冲PWM1,使驱动电路3驱动MOSFET VT1开通。Step S301: The signal processing and PWM generation circuit 2 sends a drive pulse PWM1 to the drive circuit 3, so that the drive circuit 3 drives the MOSFET VT1 to turn on.
步骤S302:信号处理和PWM生成电路2通过向检测开关VT2发出驱动脉冲PWM2,使检测开关VT2关断,此时X点电压通过分压,与预设参考电压Vref比较,若比较器D3输出低电平,则表示MOSFET VT1没有过流,若比较器D3输出高电平,则表示MOSFET VT1过流,驱动脉冲PWM1与PWM2的时序是反相的。Step S302: The signal processing and PWM generation circuit 2 turns off the detection switch VT2 by sending the driving pulse PWM2 to the detection switch VT2. At this time, the voltage at point X is divided by the voltage and compared with the preset reference voltage Vref. If the output of the comparator D3 is low If the comparator D3 outputs a high level, it means that the MOSFET VT1 is overcurrent, and the timings of the driving pulses PWM1 and PWM2 are reversed.
步骤S303:如果MOSFET VT1过流,则信号处理和PWM生成电路2向驱动电路3发出驱动脉冲PWM1,使驱动电路3驱动MOSFET VT1关断。Step S303: If the MOSFET VT1 is overcurrent, the signal processing and PWM generation circuit 2 sends a drive pulse PWM1 to the drive circuit 3, so that the drive circuit 3 drives the MOSFET VT1 to turn off.
图6是图4所示示例实施方式在MOSFET VT1开通时的时序图,如图6所示,驱动脉冲PWM1与PWM2的时序是反相的,驱动脉冲PWM1为高电平时,MOSFET VT1导通,根据开关管MOSFET VT1的输出特性曲线可知,其漏源极电压随电流增大,例如,检测到开关管MOSFET VT1的漏源极饱和电压超过3V,即可认为开关管MOSFET VT1过流,Logic Out1翻转,可通过信号处理和PWM生成电路2输出Logic Out2或驱动脉冲PWM1,直接关断开关管MOSFET VT1,如图6所示,t 1时刻MOSFET VT1开通,t2时刻开始发生过流事件,t3时刻关断MOSFET VT1。Fig. 6 is a timing diagram of the example embodiment shown in Fig. 4 when MOSFET VT1 is turned on. As shown in Fig. 6, the timing sequence of driving pulse PWM1 and PWM2 is inverse, and when driving pulse PWM1 is high, MOSFET VT1 is turned on, According to the output characteristic curve of the switch MOSFET VT1, it can be known that the drain-source voltage of the switch MOSFET VT1 increases with the current. For example, if it is detected that the drain-source saturation voltage of the switch MOSFET VT1 exceeds 3V, it can be considered that the switch MOSFET VT1 is overcurrent and Logic Out1 Inversion, the signal processing and PWM generation circuit 2 can output Logic Out2 or drive pulse PWM1, and directly turn off the switch MOSFET VT1, as shown in Figure 6, the MOSFET VT1 is turned on at t1, the overcurrent event starts at t2, and the time t3 Turn off MOSFET VT1.
图7是图4所示示例实施方式在VT1关断时的软件逻辑处理流程图,如图7所示,可以包括以下步骤S401至S404。FIG. 7 is a flowchart of software logic processing when the VT1 is turned off in the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 4 . As shown in FIG. 7 , the following steps S401 to S404 may be included.
步骤S401:信号处理和PWM生成电路2向驱动电路3发出驱动脉冲PWM1,使驱动电路3驱动MOSFET VT1关断,通过向检测开关VT2发出驱动脉冲PWM2,使检测开关VT2导通。Step S401: The signal processing and PWM generation circuit 2 sends the drive pulse PWM1 to the drive circuit 3, so that the drive circuit 3 drives the MOSFET VT1 to turn off, and sends the drive pulse PWM2 to the detection switch VT2, so that the detection switch VT2 is turned on.
步骤S402:设置上下开关管驱动的最大死区时间Tdeadmax。Step S402 : setting the maximum dead time Tdeadmax driven by the upper and lower switch tubes.
步骤S403:检测到高侧驱动脉冲使高侧MOSFET处于关断状态。Step S403: The high-side MOSFET is turned off when the high-side driving pulse is detected.
步骤S404:X点电压通过分压,与预设参考电压Vref比较,若比较器D3输出低电平,则表示MOSFET VT1可以零压开通,如果在最大死区时间Tdeadmax后,比较器D3仍输出高电平,则信号处理和PWM生成电路2向驱动电路3发出驱动脉冲PWM1,使驱动电路3驱动 MOSFET VT1导通。Step S404: The voltage at point X is divided by the voltage and compared with the preset reference voltage Vref. If the comparator D3 outputs a low level, it means that the MOSFET VT1 can be turned on at zero voltage. If the comparator D3 still outputs after the maximum dead time Tdeadmax High level, then the signal processing and PWM generation circuit 2 sends the drive pulse PWM1 to the drive circuit 3, so that the drive circuit 3 drives the MOSFET VT1 to conduct.
结合图8所示的图4所示示例实施方式在MOSFET VT1关断时的时序图,在谐振电路中,开关管MOSFET VT1关断时,检测开关VT2导通,以将第四电阻R4与第五电阻R5并联,提高检测电压门槛,若MOSFET VT1的电流开始流过其体二极管,其漏源极电压减小。例如,当漏源极电压检测门槛为30V时,Logic Out1由高电平转变为低电平,则判断可以使MOSFET VT1导通,Logic Out2和驱动脉冲PWM1转为高电平,实现了死区时间灵活调节,防止了完全硬开。同时,本公开可以设置最大死区时间Tdeadmax,防止功率变换器的输出功率较小、无法实现ZVS的情况,也可以设置最小死区时间Tdeadmin,防止上下开关管同时导通。如图8所示,t1时刻,开关管MOSFET VT1的漏源极电压开始下降,t2时刻,达到零压开通的条件,驱动脉冲PWM1翻转。With reference to the timing diagram of the example embodiment shown in FIG. 4 when the MOSFET VT1 is turned off, in the resonant circuit, when the switch MOSFET VT1 is turned off, the detection switch VT2 is turned on to connect the fourth resistor R4 with the first The five resistors R5 are connected in parallel to increase the detection voltage threshold. If the current of the MOSFET VT1 begins to flow through its body diode, its drain-source voltage decreases. For example, when the drain-source voltage detection threshold is 30V, and Logic Out1 changes from high level to low level, it is judged that MOSFET VT1 can be turned on, Logic Out2 and driving pulse PWM1 are turned to high level, and the dead zone is realized. The time is flexibly adjusted to prevent complete hard opening. At the same time, the present disclosure can set the maximum dead time Tdeadmax to prevent the situation that the output power of the power converter is small and cannot achieve ZVS, and can also set the minimum dead time Tdeadmin to prevent the upper and lower switches from being turned on at the same time. As shown in Figure 8, at time t1, the drain-source voltage of the switch MOSFET VT1 begins to drop, and at time t2, the zero-voltage turn-on condition is reached, and the drive pulse PWM1 is reversed.
需要说明的是,从图5和图7的软件逻辑处理过程可以看出,本示例实施方式在MOSFET VT1导通或关断时,需要同步控制检测开关VT2。It should be noted that, as can be seen from the software logic processing procedures in FIGS. 5 and 7 , when the MOSFET VT1 is turned on or off in this example embodiment, the detection switch VT2 needs to be controlled synchronously.
本示例实施方式提供了一种两用电路,一方面可以在MOSFET导通时检测其饱和电压,另一方面可以检测MOSFET的漏源极电压,以调节死区时间。对于前者,检测的饱和电压是10V以下的低压,根据MOSFET导通时的电压和电流关系,可以知道,MOSFET的饱和电压在10V以下就可以判断MOSFET是否过流。对于后者,要实现ZVS,在高压应用场合,当MOSFET的漏源极电压在50V以下的任意一点,都可以认为是零压点开通,相比硬开通,损耗依然小了很多。本公开同时实现饱和电压检测和ZVS检测,运用了图4所示的简单的电路,使用第一二极管D1检测MOSFET的漏源极电压,通过控制检测开关VT2将第四电阻R4与第五电阻R5并联,改变电阻分压,快速改变比较器D3反向输入端的电压,比较器D3正向输入端给定预设参考电压Vref,在MOSFET VT1导通时,检测开关VT2关断,MOSFET VT1关断时,检测开关VT2导通,能够等效的检测不同的漏源极电压是否超过设定值,解决了饱和电压检测和ZVS检测的不同问题。This example embodiment provides a dual-purpose circuit that can detect the saturation voltage of the MOSFET when it is turned on on the one hand, and detect the drain-source voltage of the MOSFET on the other hand to adjust the dead time. For the former, the detected saturation voltage is a low voltage below 10V. According to the relationship between the voltage and current when the MOSFET is turned on, it can be known that if the saturation voltage of the MOSFET is below 10V, it can be judged whether the MOSFET is overcurrent. For the latter, to achieve ZVS, in high-voltage applications, when the drain-source voltage of the MOSFET is at any point below 50V, it can be considered as zero-voltage switch-on. Compared with hard switch-on, the loss is still much smaller. The present disclosure realizes both saturation voltage detection and ZVS detection, using the simple circuit shown in FIG. 4 , using the first diode D1 to detect the drain-source voltage of the MOSFET, and by controlling the detection switch VT2 to connect the fourth resistor R4 to the fifth Resistor R5 is connected in parallel, changing the voltage division of the resistor, quickly changing the voltage at the reverse input terminal of the comparator D3, the forward input terminal of the comparator D3 is given a preset reference voltage Vref, when the MOSFET VT1 is turned on, the detection switch VT2 is turned off, and the MOSFET VT1 When turned off, the detection switch VT2 is turned on, which can equivalently detect whether different drain-source voltages exceed the set value, which solves the different problems of saturation voltage detection and ZVS detection.
本公开的检测电路可以应用于功率变换器中,具体地,一般用于高压(大于400V)场合,在功率开关使用MOSFET的半桥电路中,并联在MOSFET的漏源极,半桥电路中连接谐振网络,谐振网络的阻抗呈感性,输出电压超前输出电流,可以实现ZVS。The detection circuit of the present disclosure can be applied to power converters, and is generally used in high-voltage (greater than 400V) occasions.
