Description
Technical Field

The smart power module, IPM (Intelligent Power Module), is a power driven product that combines power electronics and integrated circuit technology. The intelligent power module integrates the power switch device and the high-voltage driving circuit and is internally provided with fault detection circuits such as overvoltage, overcurrent, overheat and the like. The intelligent power module receives the control signal of the MCU on one hand, drives the subsequent circuit to work, and sends the state detection signal of the system back to the MCU on the other hand. Compared with the traditional discrete scheme, the intelligent power module gains larger and larger markets by virtue of the advantages of high integration level, high reliability and the like, is particularly suitable for a frequency converter of a driving motor and various inverter power supplies, and is an ideal power electronic device for frequency conversion speed regulation, metallurgical machinery, electric traction, servo driving and frequency conversion household appliances.
The HVIC anti-pass dead time technology inside the conventional intelligent power module inserts a fixed dead time between the high and low voltage side outputs to prevent the high and low voltage side pass through, and the high and low voltage side input signals are signals with completely complementary logic and enter the fixed dead time generation module after being processed by the input logic module. And a certain dead zone is produced between HO and LO which are output after passing through the high-low voltage side channel, so that the direct connection problem caused by the simultaneous opening of the high-low voltage side power tube is avoided. In practical applications, the on and off time of the power tube will vary with the input voltage, temperature and load current, so the setting of the fixed dead time is considered according to the worst case through, and therefore the dead time often has a sufficiently long margin in general condition applications. Dead time is set too short, so that a through phenomenon can be caused along with the change of the application environment of the system, and the reliability of the system is affected. Dead time is set too long, so that a short current blank period appears in the circuit when the switching tube is switched, and voltage and power are in an idle state in the period, so that certain power loss is caused, the efficiency of the circuit and the quality of an output waveform are reduced, the power loss is increased, the switching tube is possibly damaged, and the stability of the circuit is affected.

The input end of the D trigger 12 is an input end A of a dynamic delay unit, the input end A of the dynamic delay unit is connected with an output signal ND of a Vs negative pressure sampling detection circuit in the number shown in the figure 5, the output end Q of the D trigger 12 is connected with an input end X1 of a NOR-type data selector MUX1, the input CLK of the D trigger 12 is LO AND HO' in the number shown in the figure 5, the input ends of the 5 NOR-type gates NOR1 are respectively connected with Q0, Q1, Q2, Q3 AND Q4, the input ends of the 5 AND-type gates AND1 are respectively connected with Q0, Q1, Q2, Q3 AND Q4, the output end of the 5 NOR-type gates NOR1 AND one input end of the NOR-type gates NOR2 are connected with the input end of the NAND-type data selector MUX1, AND the output end of the 5 AND-type gates NOR2 AND one input end of the NAND-type data selector MUX1 are connected.
The output end of the NAND gate NAND1 is connected with the X0 input end of the alternative data selector MUX1, the output end OUT of the alternative data selector MUX1 is connected with the up/down of the up-down counter, the input end IN of the dynamic delay unit is connected with the input end of the NAND gate INV1 and the input end of the binary delay line, the output end of the NAND gate INV1 is connected with the CLK of the up-down counter, the output end of the up-down counter is connected with the binary delay line, and the output end of the binary delay line is the output end of the dynamic delay unit;
The workflow of the dynamic delay unit is described in detail in the workflow diagram of fig. 8, first, the up-down counter is reset after the chip is powered up, the output is 00000 so that all switches in the binary delay line are closed, and the dead time is set to the maximum value of the adjustment range. Therefore, the phenomenon that the circuit is directly connected due to the lack of initial judgment basis for VS voltage after normal power-on can be ensured. Then the circuit will determine whether the working state of the counter is 00000 or 11111, if the counter state is 00000, the logic circuit composed of NOR1, AND1, NOR2, NAND1 AND the one-out-of-two data selector MUX1 will force the input of the add-subtract control signal to be 0, so that the add-subtract counter will force 1 to be added, the circuit shields the input signal to directly read the delay of the binary delay line 15, AND forms dead time. Similarly, when the state of the counter is 11111, the logic circuit will force the up-down control signal 1 to be inputted, so that the up-down counter 14 will force the down-down signal 1, and the circuit will mask the input signal to directly read the delay of the binary delay line 15, and form dead time. The purpose of this function is to first avoid the up-down counter 14 jumping directly from 11111 to 00000 when a long dead time is required in circuit operation, which would drastically reduce the dead time causing circuit failure. Second, avoiding the need for a small dead zone in the operation of the circuit, the circuit jumps directly from the 00000 state to the 11111 state, thereby causing long-term reverse conduction losses. If the output value of the up-down counter 14 is not the highest value or the lowest value, the chip will enter a waiting state, and the value of the negative voltage detection circuit 8 is read when the rising edge of the clk signal arrives (the high voltage side channel delay in the chip is controlled by the LO and affects the low voltage side on-time; the low voltage side channel delay is provided by the delay signal of out_h and affects the on-time of the high voltage side channel). The voltage value of the VS end when the power tube is started can be used for judging whether the power device is in an anti-phase conduction stage. The main body portion of the negative pressure detection circuit 8 adopts the structure described in fig. 4, except that the negative pressure detection circuit 8 applied thereto is inverted in output and a small filter time is required to be added to prevent abnormality in the circuit state. The first stage is the dead zone stage that the high-voltage side power tube Q1 is to turn off and the low-voltage side power tube Q2 is to turn on, when the output of the negative pressure detection circuit 8 is zero, the power tube Q2 starts to freewheel, the Q2 is turned on later, the dead zone time is judged to be bigger, the signal can increase the value of the counter by 1 after entering the up-down counter, so that the dead zone time is reduced by one step, and similarly, if the output of the negative pressure detection circuit 8 is 1, the power tube Q2 is not in freewheel stage, VS is not reduced to zero, the high-voltage side power device Q1 is not completely turned off, and Q2 is turned on earlier. In this case, if the low-voltage side power transistor is turned on, the dead time is relatively small, the output value of the detection signal is reduced by one bit after entering the up-down counter, so that the dead time is increased by one step, and the second stage is a dead time stage in which the low-voltage side power transistor Q2 is to be turned off and the high-voltage side power transistor Q1 is to be turned on, and it is required to explain in advance that the delay time from out_h to HO' is the same as the delay time from out_h to HO, so that when the gate signal of Q1 is applied with the turn-on signal, if the negative pressure detection circuit 8 outputs 0, it is indicated that the turn-off of the low-voltage side power transistor Q2 is completed and the follow current stage is entered. At this time, it is determined that the dead time is longer, and the control signal causes the value of the up-down counter to be increased by 1, thereby controlling the binary delay line to decrease the dead time by one step. If the negative pressure detection circuit 8 outputs 1, there are two cases, one is that Q2 has not been completely turned off, and a first-gear dead zone needs to be increased. Another situation is that the circuit is operated in DCM mode, the low side power transistor is turned off and does not freewheel, and increasing dead time does not increase system losses.

the reset function of the timer during power-on, MN 2-MN 6 are all turned off, and the time delay of the whole circuit to the IN signal falling edge can be expressed by the following formula:
Delaymax.=C*Vth.NAND(VCC/(R1+R2+R3+R4+R5));
Where C is the capacitance of the capacitor, vth, and NAND represents the threshold voltage of the NAND gate connected to the subsequent stage of the binary delay line. The resistance of the 5 controlled resistors increases exponentially. The delay shown in the above equation is also the maximum delay that can be provided by the binary delay line. When Q0-Q4 are all opened, the delay of the binary delay line is minimum:
Delaymin.=C*Vth.NAND/VCC;
With the increase of the output value of the binary up-down counter, the delay is reduced in a step-like manner. It should be noted that the delay circuit 2 delays only the falling edge of the IN signal, and the charge on C is rapidly released after the MN1 is turned on when the IN has a low level to a high level.

Reset is the Reset port of the D flip-flop, when the chip is started, the counter is Reset, when a equals 0, the value of the temporary counter is incremented by one bit at the clock signal, and when a=1, the value of the temporary counter is decremented by one bit at the clock signal. Its combination with logic effectively avoids a direct jump between 00000 and 11111. FIG. 11 shows simulation results of the entire dynamic delay unit, showing waveforms of the CLK signal, ND input signal, and Q4-Q0. It can be seen that the ND signal remains low after the start state counter is cleared, the counter is incremented, and when the value of the counter reaches a maximum, its state wanders between 11111 and 11110, and does not jump to 00000. Similarly, when the ND input signal goes high, the counter goes into a decrementing process. When the counter reaches the minimum value, the state of the counter wanders between 00000 and 00001, and the jump to the 11111 state is not increased. Along with the change of ND signals in the working process of the counter, the counter can realize the free up-down counting function and can not generate misoperation.
